“Jade Pure Profound Spirit?” Jun Changxiao said.

Zilin Demon King’s eyes burned intensely as he said, “This is a heavenly treasure that only exists in the Upper Realm. If we beast clan eat one stalk, we can increase our power by a thousand years!”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes lit up: “What about if humans eat it?”

“They die immediately.” Zilin Demon King said.

This turn came so suddenly that Sect Master Jun nearly fell off the vehicle before he could steady himself.

Why was it that when beast clan ate it they gained power, but when humans ate it they had to die!

Because.

The medicinal effect was too fierce!

With humans’ naturally weaker constitution compared to beasts, they simply couldn’t withstand the explosive energy, and the outcome would be death by body explosion.

“However.”

Zilin Demon King added, “You can combine it with other medicinal materials to refine this item. As for what effects it will have, that’s unknown.”

This was human wisdom.

No matter how fierce the heavenly treasure, as long as it underwent professional refinement, its effects could even be stronger than eating it raw.

Zilin Demon King hurriedly rushed over.

In the Upper Realm, stealing dragon eggs was based on rumors it could increase power, right? Now the Jade Pure Profound Spirit before him had real, tangible effects, naturally making his heart burn with desire.

Jun Changxiao used his spiritual sense to envelop the medicinal material first and collected it into his spatial ring, saying, “Such a good item—you can’t just casually eat it.”

Zilin Demon King held his head and roared, “I’ll just take one bite!”

“Come on now.”

Jun Changxiao said, “With that big mouth of yours, one bite would swallow even the roots and stems!”

A heavenly treasure that directly increased power was definitely Heaven-grade. He wanted to keep it for future preparations.

For instance, if he drew a Half-Saint Pill or Martial Saint Pill, perhaps this medicinal material would be needed.

The System said helplessly, “Why doesn’t the host think about a Martial Emperor Pill? Eat it and instantly break through to Martial Emperor, marry a fair-skinned rich beauty, and from then on reach the peak of life?”

Jun Changxiao said, “If there is one, that would be best.”

System: “…”

“This soil that can nurture Upper Realm heavenly treasures must also be extraordinary.”

After thinking it over, Jun Changxiao ordered Hall Master Zi and Old Ding to dig it all up.

After searching the cavern for a while and finding nothing else of value, they returned along the original path. When they emerged from the tunnel and stopped before the hard stone door, he thought silently, “Such a durable stone—can’t leave it behind either.”

“Swoosh!”

His spiritual sense spread out, and with a thought—

“Swoosh—”

The hard stone door vanished into thin air and appeared in his spatial ring.

“It succeeded just like that?”

Jun Changxiao had thought there might be resistance or failure, but never expected to simply and easily collect the stone door.

The System sighed, “Wherever Gou Sheng goes, not even grass remains!”

“OK.”

Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers and said, “Let’s go back.”

The three walked out from the forest.

The surrounding barrier, having fulfilled its historical mission after the opportunity was taken, completely disappeared.

However, even the entrance stone door had been taken away, giving quite the feeling of snowflakes drifting, north wind howling, and heaven and earth in vast desolation.

…

Time returns to half an hour earlier.

When Old Ding opened the stone door, when Jun Gou Sheng brought those two inside, the flowing light barrier flashed with radiance, forming a rainbow beam that pierced heaven and earth, illuminating the entire Planar Battlefield!

“A strange phenomenon rises, an opportunity appears!”

“With such intense light, the emerging opportunity’s level must be extremely high!”

Strong individuals from various planes saw the light piercing the firmament, their eyes instantly burning with desire, then flew out from their strongholds one after another, rapidly advancing toward where the phenomenon arose.

“What is that?”

City Lord Han and others at the Star Meteor Continent stronghold also discovered it, their eyes widening one by one.

Gongsun Haohai said, “This is a planar opportunity!”

“An opportunity?”

Everyone’s eyes burned with desire too!

“Let’s go!”

A strong expert from a major sect said, “We’ll go take a look too!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, top-tier powerhouses led by Star Meteor Continent flew out from their stronghold one after another, including not only City Lord Han but also Mu Changhong and Situ Haoyun.

The battlefield was opened by the Upper Realm, and the opportunities left must be very powerful. Even if they couldn’t obtain it themselves, going to watch the excitement was fine!

“Second Senior Brother.”

Xiao Zuiji said gravely, “The area where the Sect Master and Old Ding went earlier seems to be exactly where the phenomenon arose.”

“Correct.” Li Qingyang nodded.

…

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

In the firmament, streams of light moved at extreme speed.

City Lord Han and others saw this scene, their hearts and spirits deeply shaken.

One opportunity appearing had attracted so many top-tier powerhouses—truly worthy of being a battlefield gathering various major planes!

“Everyone.”

The Martial Saint flying at the very front said in a deep voice, “There are too many experts here. We’re just watching the excitement—don’t get involved no matter what.”

“Understood!”

Everyone had made their decision. No matter how good the opportunity, they couldn’t get hot-headed and participate. After all, those casually flying past from above all had strength comparable to Half-Step Martial Saints. Once they reached the scene, who knew how many there would be? Going to fight for the opportunity would equal suicide!

Sure enough.

When the Star Meteor Continent powerhouses arrived at the area where light shot skyward, seeing hundreds upon hundreds of Half-Saints and even Martial Saints suspended around them, they all gasped sharply.

In their home territory, when an opportunity appeared, alarming several Martial Saints was already considered a major event. Yet now on the battlefield, so many had gathered—this was definitely a super-massive scene!

…

Martial artists from various planes across all directions suspended themselves around the flashing radiance, their eyes flickering with intense desire.

This phenomenon’s commotion was even stronger than when that egg appeared earlier—its level must be extremely high!

Speaking of the egg, everyone immediately thought of Jun Changxiao, thought of that fellow wielding his sword with deranged killing intent, and couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.

Wait a minute!

Did that guy come or not!

Powerhouses from various planes released their spiritual senses one after another and discovered City Lord Han and his group!

“Martial artists from Star Meteor Continent!”

“Heavens, how did they come too!”

“If they move to seize the opportunity, we’ll probably just have to watch!”

The Star Meteor Continent martial artists were shocked by the grand scene, while martial artists from various planes were shocked by them, making the situation extremely awkward for a time.

“Not good!”

City Lord Han’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Could they think we want to seize the opportunity?”

“Don’t panic, don’t panic!”

That Martial Saint from the major sect steadied his mind, cupped his fists and said, “Everyone, we just entered the Planar Battlefield and haven’t seen an opportunity appear before, so we came this time only to watch the excitement and absolutely will not participate!”

Martial artists from various planes were completely dumbfounded.

Star Meteor Continent won’t participate?

Could it be this plane has too many good things and completely looks down on opportunities in the battlefield?

Thinking of Jun Changxiao previously summoning sword weapons and sweeping through all directions with overwhelming force, everyone immediately understood. Since they had such awesome equipment, they naturally wouldn’t care about other things.

“Sect Master.”

An elder from one plane transmitted his voice, saying, “Star Meteor Continent is even stronger than we imagined!”

“Therefore!”

That sect master said gravely, “We absolutely must not provoke them!”

“Swoosh—”

Just then, the light piercing heaven and earth suddenly dissipated, and the formation in the forest vanished into thin air.

“The opportunity is about to appear!”

Planar powerhouses with sufficient experience in this regard instinctively moved closer, ready to snatch it at any moment.

“Swish!”

Suddenly, three streams of light appeared.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Martial artists from various planes erupted with their cultivation bases, about to press down on the streams of light emerging from the forest, then in the next second slammed on the brakes and stopped in place, their eyes all widening simultaneously.

“Hmm?”

Jun Changxiao, who had just walked out from the forest, found people all around and said rather puzzled, “What’s going on?”

“Sect Master Jun?!”

City Lord Han and others were also confused.

“Why are you here too?” Jun Changxiao was even more bewildered.

“Sect Master.”

Gongsun Haohai came over from afar and transmitted his voice, saying, “A strange phenomenon just rose from the forest you came out of!”

Jun Changxiao roughly understood the situation, so he took out the miniaturized Blade Beyond Recall and smiled, saying, “The opportunity here has already been taken by Jun. If you all want to fight for it, feel free to come at me.”

“Sect Master Jun! Farewell!”

“Sect Master Jun! Until we meet again by fate!”

“Sect Master Jun, see you in the jianghu!”

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

In an instant, the planar powerhouses gathered above the forest all disappeared at a breathtaking speed.

City Lord Han and others came to their senses, only to discover they had long since fled without a trace!
