Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie came out of the Sect Hall and had just reached his residence when Xu Daoling and Kongxu surrounded him.

“Senior Brother, how was your harvest from this trip to the Nanshan Secret Realm?”

The two fellows had flattering expressions and were smiling obsequiously.

“If you want something, just say it directly.”

Jun Wuxie was quite direct. With these two fellows, he knew whether they wanted to poop or pee just by the way they wiggled their butts.

“Ahem, just give us something casually, like two three-star spiritual weapons, or a few three-star spiritual essences?”

The two fellows rubbed their hands together, looking at Jun Wuxie with hopeful faces.

“I do have three-star spiritual weapons, but no three-star spiritual essences.”

“Alright, having three-star spiritual weapons is not bad either.”

Xu Daoling and Kongxu wore expressions as if they were taking a loss.

Jun Wuxie clanged and clattered as he poured out a pile of spiritual weapons, all types imaginable, weapons, defensive gear, ornaments, and so on.

The sight stunned the two fellows, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“Look at your lack of ambition.”

Jun Wuxie looked at them with disdain, then took out two Wind-Thunder Fruits and two Bloodline Fruits.

Xu Daoling and Kongxu, who were swimming in the pile of spiritual weapons, stared at the fruits in his hand and asked, “What are these? What grade are they?”

“The grade is not high, only four-star superb grade.”

Xu Daoling and Kongxu were instantly stunned, their eyes almost simultaneously glowing green.

They looked at each other, and the next moment, they pounced on Jun Wuxie, each wanting to take the fruits for themselves.

Xu Daoling was faster than Kongxu, snatched the four fruits into his hands, and ran.

“Tomb robber, stop right there!”

Kongxu shouted angrily, chasing after him as if his life depended on it.

“Hahaha, bald head, come and chase me! Call me Second Senior Brother three times respectfully, and I’ll give it to you, otherwise, you can just cry.”

Xu Daoling ran all over the mountain, Kongxu chased all over the mountain, creating a chaotic scene.

Jun Wuxie stroked his chin, these two fellows, their injuries haven't fully healed, yet their energy is so vigorous.

He selected two top-grade star soft armors, two pairs of boots, and two offensive weapons from the pile of spiritual weapons, left them in place, and put the rest away.

Ignoring the chaotic duo, he returned to his room.

Yue Yao was obediently tidying up the room and ran over as soon as she saw him.

“Come, Brother will tidy up with Yao’er. From now on, Yao’er won’t go anywhere and will stay here on Sect King Mountain.”

“Yes, Yao’er will listen to Brother.”

… …

In the following days, Jun Wuxie accompanied Yue Yao while cultivating the Extreme Realm.

At the same time, he was also waiting for news about the Trial Grounds.

That day, he learned from Jiu Ye that the entrance to the Trial Grounds was actually located in the central square of the capital city.

There was a seal left by the Mountaintop Sword Sect there, which was usually impossible to detect.

He had not imagined that a terrifying underground world was hidden beneath the Great Zhou Capital City.

If the seal was broken and the baleful spirits below rushed out, it would inevitably be a disaster.

Three days passed.

His realm still had not been able to break through to the Minor Perfection of the Extreme Realm.

“I’ve refined so many spiritual weapons, but I still can’t break through to the Minor Perfection of the Extreme Realm?”

Jun Wuxie couldn’t help but frown. As his realm increased, the Extreme Realm became more and more difficult to cultivate.

In the past, when he was in the Congenital Extreme Realm, cultivation was much easier.

Now, the resources required to cultivate the Extreme Realm in the Qi Condensation Realm can be described as terrifying.

Refining three-star spiritual weapons resulted in slow progress. At this rate, he estimated that he would need to refine at least a hundred three-star spiritual weapons, and the time required would be dozens of days.

After all, he was not in the Nanshan Secret Realm where he was being devoured by blood energy.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to refine spiritual weapons so frantically.

“I originally thought that I could reach the Great Perfection of the Extreme Realm before participating in the Trial Grounds, but now it seems that I can only reach the Great Perfection in the Trial Grounds…”

He stopped cultivating and no longer insisted on breaking through.

Currently, the efficiency was really too low.

This was something he had not anticipated before.

He pushed open the door and came to the simple courtyard.

He was just about to go and see how Jiu Ye's efforts to dispel the cold energy were progressing these days when a sharp sound of air being torn apart broke the tranquility above Sect King Mountain.

Jun Wuxie's pupils contracted slightly.

It was a sword qi, piercing through the sky, arriving above Sect King Mountain, and then with a bang, landed in front of the Sect Hall.

The tip of the sword pierced into the ground, and a wisp of sword wave, centered on the sword qi, spread around like a water wave, cutting off large swaths of grass and trees at the waist!

The entire Sect King Mountain trembled a few times in an instant.

“Sect King Academy, kneel to receive the imperial decree!”

A middle-aged man wearing a Mountaintop Sword robe came through the air.

His expression was indifferent, looking down from above.

Behind him were two people—the Sect Master of the Great River Sword Sect, He Jianyun, and the Vice Sect Master, Yu Zhi.

Instantly, everyone on Sect King Mountain was alarmed.

Yue Yao poked her head out from the door, but Jun Wuxie stopped her, closed the door, and told her not to come out.

He didn't want any outsiders to see Yue Yao now.

The incident at the Jubaosai still made him feel afraid.

“Senior Brother, what’s going on?”

Xu Daoling and Kongxu rushed out, and their expressions changed when they saw a middle-aged man bringing He Jianyun and Yu Zhi standing in the air above Sect King Mountain.

“Sword Envoy of the Mountaintop, this old man has failed to greet you from afar, please don’t blame me.”

Jiu Ye and Uncle Bird walked out of the dilapidated Sect Hall, glanced at the sword qi that was inserted in front of the hall and did not disperse, and then looked up at the sky.

“Chu Jingtian, didn’t you understand the words of the Mountaintop Sword Envoy?” He Jianyun had a sneer on his lips: “The Sword Envoy is asking you, the Sect King Academy, to kneel and receive the imperial decree!”

“He Jianyun, you don’t have the right to speak here!” Jiu Ye scolded: “Are you, a junior, really that arrogant?”

“You!”

He Jianyun’s face was gloomy.

“Sword Envoy of the Mountaintop, the decree of your sect, my Sect King Academy accepts it. As for kneeling, unless we are guilty, what is the reason for it?”

Jiu Ye was neither humble nor arrogant, and stepped forward to the sword qi that did not disperse.

At the position where the sword qi was inserted into the ground, there was a piece of paper flashing with runes, with words on it.

“Your Sect King Academy is guilty!”

The Mountaintop Sword Envoy carried his hands behind his back, looking down, his words indifferent.

“What is our crime?”

Jiu Ye was not afraid and met his gaze.

“Your Sect King Academy's disciples offended the forces behind Jubaosai some time ago in the capital city. Everyone knows that your Sect King Academy used to belong to my Mountaintop Sword Sect. Such audacity is very likely to involve my Mountaintop Sword Sect!”

“Sword Envoy, you are trying to impose a crime on us!” Jiu Ye said with a sinking face: “This matter is entirely a private matter of my Sect King Academy's disciples, what does it have to do with your sect? Besides, my Sect King Academy actually no longer has any affiliation with your sect, so how can we talk about involvement?”

“I say you are guilty, then you are guilty!” The Mountaintop Sword Envoy narrowed his eyes and said, “What? Is your Sect King Academy not convinced?”

“Sword Envoy!”

There was anger in Jiu Ye's eyes.

“Kneel down and receive the imperial decree, and this envoy can temporarily not pursue the matter, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Jun Wuxie sneered. This Mountaintop Sword Sect really thought of themselves as something, actually forcibly fabricating such a crime, wanting to humiliate Sect King Academy.

“Presumptuous!”

“You are the one who is presumptuous!” Jun Wuxie directly retorted, looking coldly at the Mountaintop Sword Envoy and said, “The high-level members of the Southern Border Enchanting Eye Clan also offended the forces behind Jubaosai, are you going to punish them? Do you want me to notify her to rush from the capital city now and listen to your orders?”

“Can you invite her?”

The Mountaintop Sword Envoy's expression was uncertain.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, stroked his chin, looked at him provocatively, and said, “Want to try?”

The Mountaintop Sword Envoy's face changed again and again.

He Jianyun and Yu Zhi behind him had extremely gloomy expressions, staring coldly at Jun Wuxie.

This young man's growth rate far exceeded their expectations.

In the future, it is very likely to threaten their Great River Sword Sect!

“Since this matter is the meaning of the high-level members of the Enchanting Eye Clan, presumably your actions are also in accordance with their wishes, so this envoy will not pursue it!” The Mountaintop Sword Envoy said here, looking at Jiu Ye and said: “Three days later, in the Great Zhou Capital City, the Trial Grounds will be opened, and all disciples of the Sect King Academy must participate!”

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves.

The sword qi that did not disperse soared into the sky with a clang and scattered into light rain in the air.

At the same time, the paper on the ground also turned to ashes in an instant.

“Let’s go!”

He flicked his sleeves and left.

“Walk slowly, I won’t see you off.”

Jun Wuxie mocked.

Angering the Mountaintop Sword Envoy and the people of the Great River Sword Sect to tremble.

“Wuxie, you kid, you really made this old man sweat. Fortunately, you suppressed him, otherwise, if he took action, it would be difficult for this old man to take care of you in the battle.”

Jiu Ye seemed to have lingering fears.

“I just can’t stand their pretentious appearance, they really think of themselves as something!” Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the sword marks left by the sword qi and said: “What imperial decree, I think he wrote it himself, just wanting to come and humiliate our Sect King Academy. Since that’s the case, why should I give him face?”

“I’m just afraid that they will try their best to deal with you in the Trial Grounds. If the Mountaintop Sword Sect also sends people to participate in the trial, then it will really be difficult to deal with…”

Jiu Ye's mood was heavy and he was very worried.

Jun Wuxie didn't speak.

He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be difficult to keep Jiu Ye from worrying.

All he could do was to protect Xu Daoling and Kongxu after the trial began, let them break through quickly inside, and then bring them out alive.
