Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie ascended to the peak of the tower and awakened the Xuanyuan God-Slaying Sword, truly obtaining news of the Dragon Vein from it.

“You’re saying the Small World Tree devoured the Dragon Vein?”

This answer truly exceeded his expectations.

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword said, “It cannot be said to be devouring. The Small World Tree purified the power of the Darkest Darkness, greatly depleting its vitality. The Dragon Vein, possessing sentience, sacrificed itself to nourish it.”

“If there is a way to completely eliminate those ancient corpses on the Small World Tree, could the Dragon Vein be separated from the tree and re-condensed?”

“Impossible. It has already become a part of the Small World Tree’s energy and can never be separated.” The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword, upon saying this, inquired, “You want the Dragon Vein. Is it because you wish to establish a dynasty?”

“Correct.” Jun Wuxie nodded and said, “The dynasty established by Emperor Xuanyuan in the past has fallen apart. Now, the legitimate inheritance only has Great Zhou left. But as you can see, the current Great Zhou is too weak. To the forces of the world, it is vulnerable. Some time ago, Great Zhou almost fell, and the descendants of Xuanyuan were almost exterminated!”

“You are right. The current nation is indeed too weak…” The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword sighed, then said, “If you want to establish a dynasty, you must seek another Dragon Vein. Although the Small World Tree has absorbed the essence of the Dragon Vein, possessing the characteristics of a Dragon Vein, and it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the effect will only be better than a Dragon Vein. But the premise is that you must get rid of those ancient corpses.”

“Really?” Jun Wuxie was pleasantly surprised, but then expressed his confusion: “With your strength, you should be able to easily eliminate those ancient corpses, right?”

After a moment of silence, the Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword sighed and said, “I can easily eliminate them. Even if the power of the Darkest Darkness is ten thousand times stronger, I can also eliminate it. But I cannot take action, otherwise, the Great Emperor would not have used the Small World Tree to purify the power of the Darkest Darkness back then.”

“Why?”

“Because the true driver of the power of the Darkest Darkness will sense it. At that time, it is very likely to affect this realm, causing it to be noticed prematurely. Moving one part affects the whole, and the consequences are unimaginable. Unless, there is an extremely special space that can isolate the Heavenly Emperor-level perception.”

“I understand…” Jun Wuxie nodded and said, “If those ancient corpses are eliminated, you just need to plant the Small World Tree anywhere, right?”

“The best location for planting is naturally the center of the region. However, it is impossible to eliminate those ancient corpses without being sensed by the Ancestor of the Darkest Darkness. Even the Great Emperor of that time could not do it. Because the power of the Darkest Darkness within those ancient corpses comes from the Source of the Darkest Darkness…”

“Is that so?”

Jun Wuxie touched his nose, noncommittally.

“You don’t seem to believe it?”

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword was somewhat angry. What was with this kid’s attitude?

The Great Emperor couldn’t do it back then, yet this kid has an air of ‘I’m very awesome, I can do it’.

“Why should I believe it? Just because Emperor Xuanyuan couldn’t do it, does that mean I definitely can’t do it?”

“What a joke! You, a mere Sovereign King, dare to speak such wild words. Where does your confidence come from? Do you know what level of existence the Great Emperor was?”

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuxie deliberately provoked: “What Great Emperor, what level? I don’t care what level he is. He was so powerful, but he still needed the Small World Tree to purify the ancient corpses? If it were me, I wouldn’t need that at all. It’s just the power of the Darkest Darkness, nothing much.”

“You! You actually belittle the Great Emperor and disrespect the Great Emperor! You truly don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword was extremely furious.

“Well, how about we make a bet?”

“Hmph, what kind of bet do you want to make with me?”

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword said coldly.

“If I can eliminate those ancient corpses, what will you say?”

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword sneered: “If you can eliminate those ancient corpses, I will unconditionally allow you to command me three times!”

“Is this true?”

The corners of Jun Wuxie’s lips curled up slightly.

“Of course!” The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword saw that trace of a smile on his face and said: “Why are you smiling so slyly?”

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Was this kid trying to trick him?

But he simply didn’t believe that Jun Wuxie could do it!

The Great Emperor couldn’t do it, yet a Sovereign King, weaker than an ant, could do it?

Jun Wuxie really wanted to smack him.

What do you mean by smiling so slyly? His smile was clearly so charming!

Completely lacking in appreciation, no taste.

“Kid, you haven’t said what happens if you can’t do it yet?”

The Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword wouldn’t let him get away with it and immediately retorted.

“Then I’ll let you deal with me as you please. You can do whatever you want.”

“Then it’s settled.”

There was a hint of a successful scheme in the Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword’s voice.

Jun Wuxie sized him up. Was this guy also trying to trick him?

Then it will depend on who fools who in the end!

The power to unconditionally command the Xuanyuan God-Slaying Sword Spirit three times, just thinking about it made him excited.

He would definitely make good use of those three opportunities when the time came!

“Kid, we should set a time limit, otherwise, if you drag it out indefinitely, I’m afraid you’ll go back on your word.”

“Just three days. I’ll come back to you after three days. Just don’t go back on your word then.”

“Since I have said this, I will naturally keep my word. Three days, you really dare to say that.”

After the Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword finished speaking, the sword patterns on the sword body gradually dimmed, completely falling silent.

“Wuxie, how was it? What did the Divine Sword Lord say?”

Jun Wuxie returned to the front of Xuanyuan Great Elder, and he immediately couldn’t help but ask.

“The Dragon Vein is gone due to special reasons, but I have also found other methods to replace the Dragon Vein. After your Xuanyuan clan arrives in the capital, you can arrange the site selection yourselves. There are still some things to follow up. When the time comes, I will have someone contact you to discuss the details together.”

Jun Wuxie briefly explained the matter of establishing the Royal Academy and the high, middle, and low-level academies.

Xuanyuan Great Elder nodded in agreement. He was not worried about the funding.

Since Jun Wuxie had this plan, he must have made preparations in terms of funding.

“By the way, does your Xuanyuan clan know where there are more powerful rune masters in this world?”

“Hahaha, you don’t have to worry about that. Our clan has ready-made ones.”

Jun Wuxie couldn’t help but be stunned upon hearing this, and then he smiled.

It was really like getting a pillow when you’re sleepy.

He bid farewell to Xuanyuan Great Elder and returned to the sect.

Upon returning to the small courtyard, he discovered that only Lingfei and Chan’er were there to greet him. Everyone else was gone.

“Jun-gege ~ hug ~”

Chan’er’s large, watery eyes instantly lit up when she saw Jun Wuxie, and she ran over.

Jun Wuxie smiled and picked her up. The little loli’s eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

“Where are they?”

He asked Lingfei.

“They are all cultivating. However, Young Master’s two junior brothers are not in the sect, and Xiaoxiao has also left.”

Jun Wuxie was stunned and said, “Where did they go?”

“Eastern Wilderness Border, Binhai Ancient Town. It is said that a secret land has appeared there. After learning the news, Young Master’s two junior brothers left that day, disregarding everyone’s dissuasion. Xiaoxiao left early the next morning, hiding it from us, leaving a message, and also went there. She said that she didn’t want to be a vase by Young Master’s side, and wanted to seek her own opportunities, to become stronger as soon as possible, and to share your worries…”

“That girl… let them go.”

Jun Wuxie shook his head. Thinking about these years, they have all been staying in the sect. Continuing like this is not a solution.

The path of a martial artist must be walked by oneself.

It was actually a good thing that they had such a fighting spirit.

“What’s the situation like in Binhai Ancient Town now?”

“It is said that the secret land is a large mountain range, which was previously hidden in a formation. Now, the power of the formation is gradually disappearing, and it has only been revealed to the world. However, only part of the area has been revealed, and the depths of the mountains are still inaccessible.”

“Young Master doesn’t need to worry. I have already asked Elder Su Ji to contact the disciples of the Yu Ling Sect, Medicine King Sect, Demon Phase Sect, Bingyun Tower, and other forces who went there to train, and asked them to take care of them. That place has not yet aroused the interest of the top geniuses of various forces, so there should be no major problems.”

Jun Wuxie nodded and said nothing more. It was impossible not to worry in his heart.

Su Xiaoxiao was fine, after all, her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Sect was known throughout the cultivation world, and her own strength was not weak. Now she was a late-stage King Realm Grandmaster.

However, Xu Daoling and Kongxu were only in the Galaxy Realm, and before he left, he was only a quasi-King level. Now, at most, he was only at the early King level. Among all the trainees who went to that secret land, I am afraid that he can only be regarded as a mid-to-lower level strength.

…

“Chan’er, how about brother taking you to the peach forest to play?”

“Okay ~”

Chan’er smiled like a flower and kissed him on the face.

Jun Wuxie and Lingfei smiled slightly.

He hugged Chan’er, held Lingfei’s soft hand, and walked into a pink and white peach forest.

Tens of miles of peach blossoms constitute the most eye-catching beauty of Zongwang Mountain.

Because of Jun Wuxie’s return, Chan’er was in a particularly cheerful mood, running in the peach forest, like a butterfly fluttering, her laughter as crisp as silver bells.

Jun Wuxie and Lingfei played with her until dark, until Chan’er was a little sleepy, leaning on him and falling asleep, before returning to the small courtyard.

He gently placed Chan’er inside the bed, covered her with a quilt, took off his outer shirt, and said to Lingfei, “Come up.”

Lingfei’s face was slightly red, and her beautiful eyes, at this moment, seemed to be able to drip water.

Her hands trembled slightly, her mood tense and uneasy as she took off her clothes and skirt, wearing only green underwear.

Jun Wuxie looked at her perfect figure, and his heart couldn’t help but heat up.

“Sit down cross-legged. I will suppress the dark evil energy in your body, and your realm can be restored to the fourth transformation of the Sovereign King.”

Lingfei got into bed, and was anxiously preparing to lie down and accept his favor, but heard these words. Her beautiful face became even redder.

She had actually misunderstood.

She had actually misunderstood Young Master’s meaning, it was really too shameful…

Her embarrassed gaze didn’t know where to put it, and she didn’t dare to look at him at all.

She even doubted if she was really the Supreme Goddess of yesteryear. How could she be so clumsy?

Just as she was lost in thought, Jun Wuxie's palm, condensed with soldier fire, was already pressed against her body.

The process was smooth, just like before.

Under the increasingly powerful suppression of Jun Wuxie's soldier fire, the dark evil energy within Lingfei's body shrank back, unable to move.

She took the opportunity to undo some of her own seals, stopping only when her realm had returned to the fourth transformation of the Sovereign Emperor. The intensity of her talent growth also increased by two levels, returning to the level she possessed in this realm back then.

"To think that Young Master's realm has advanced by leaps and bounds in the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm in just a month or two. In another year or two, when Young Master steps into the Saint Sovereign Realm, very few people in this world will be able to threaten Young Master."

Lingfei gently wiped the sweat from his face.

"My gains from entering the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm this time are not limited to the improvement of my realm."

Jun Wuxie lay down, resting his head on one hand. Lingfei followed suit, nestling in his arms.

"Lingfei, at your peak, what level was your talent growth intensity?"

"Legendary of Antiquity. My goal back then was Mythical, but unfortunately, after spending thousands of years, I was still far from Mythical. It was because of this obsession that I misjudged the situation and risked opening the coffin in the Nine Heavens, leading to a great disaster in my world…"

"Legendary of Antiquity?" Jun Wuxie was shocked, looking at her in disbelief, and said, "I didn't expect your talent level to be so terrifying back then! Is there a World-Transcending Legend above Legendary of Antiquity?"

"No, in the Legend domain, there are only Legend and Legendary of Antiquity. Above that is Mythical. However, I heard that Mythical has many levels. The most invincible is the Mythical among Mythicals. Such an existence has never existed throughout the ages. No one in the heavens has ever been said to have reached this realm…"

Mythical among Mythicals, has it really never existed?

Isn't Ye Qingxue one?

So Mythical is divided into many levels, and Ye Qingxue is the highest level of talent growth intensity!

No wonder she's so arrogant. She really has the capital to be arrogant.

He has gone through hardships over the years and obtained so many opportunities to only just enter the Legend domain.

He seems invincible among his peers now, but if he were to fight Ye Qingxue at the same level, if she got serious, probably ten thousand of him wouldn't be enough for her to poke with one finger…

Too devastating!

"There is a kind of fruit that can directly increase the growth intensity of those below Legend by one to two levels after consumption. I don't know if it will have any effect on you."

He took out two plump fruits with several natural patterns on their surfaces.

"This is… the fruit of the Minor World Tree?"

Lingfei, with her extensive knowledge, revealed a look of shock the moment she saw the fruit.
