Inside the cave.
The Taixuan elder waved his hand, and five Heaven and Earth Treasures related to the Five Elements appeared on the table out of thin air. He said, "These five Heaven and Earth Treasures, according to the Upper Realm's classification, should be at the 'True' level."
"So high?" Jun Changxiao was stunned.
He had learned from the Black and White Devils that any Heaven and Earth Treasure that could be classified, even the most inferior 'Mysterious' level, would be extremely precious.
The Taixuan elder said, "I rarely cultivate, and entered the Revolving Core Realm in a daze. I spent most of my time researching Qimen Dunjia and collecting strange things. After all, that's my only hobby."
"…"
The corner of Jun Changxiao's mouth twitched.
As a major realm above the Void Piercing Realm, he actually used the word 'daze' to describe it. This could be compared to Beida and Sa Benin.
"Senior."
Jun Changxiao said weakly, "What's your current rank?"
The so-called Revolving Core Realm in the Upper Realm was actually a realm where one's Dantian's attributes and energy were converted into a new energy source. This was why it was called the Revolving Core Realm.
The Revolving Core Realm had a total of nine levels. Every rank represented a greater understanding of the Heaven and Earth Attributes, and a great increase in strength.
The first to third ranks were called the Qi Changing Realm. At this level, martial artists could freely use the more profound Heaven and Earth Attributes.
The fourth to sixth ranks were called the Spirit Changing Realm. At this level, martial artists began to touch the Heavenly Axiom, and all kinds of special effects would be added to their attacks.
The seventh to ninth ranks were called the Soul Changing Realm. At this level, one would merge the first two ranks and achieve true mastery. The energy source in one's body would begin to evolve to a higher level, and one would be considered a powerful expert.
"Sigh."
The Taixuan elder said in shame, "I've ascended to the Upper Realm for so many years, but I've only just entered the Third Rank."
"Senior, to be able to reach the Third Rank without focusing on martial arts, your talent in martial arts is already very strong," Jun Changxiao said in admiration.
He was not trying to flatter because the Black and White Devils were born and raised in the Upper Realm. Moreover, they had only barely reached the Sixth Rank because they focused on martial arts.
"Back to the topic.
The Taixuan old man said, "You can take these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but …" He rubbed his hands together and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Jun Changxiao took out the resources he had snatched and asked, "Are these enough?"
The Taixuan old man rolled his eyes and said, "It's not even enough for one medicinal herb."
"…"
Jun Changxiao said helplessly, "It's my first time in the Upper Realm. Firstly, I don't have any strength. Secondly, I don't have any property. I really don't have much money."
"It's alright."
The Taixuan old man said, "You can write an IOU."
"Huh?"
Jun Changxiao was stunned.
"Come."
The Taixuan old man placed the receipt on the table and smiled. "Sign and put your fingerprint on it."
This bastard had prepared everything in advance!
Jun Changxiao lowered his head to take a look, and he saw the words written on it — On the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I, Jun Changxiao, owe the old man from Taixuan ten million celestial stones. I will definitely repay it within ten years, or else I am willing to be struck by lightning!
"Are you kidding me?!"
Jun Changxiao broke down. "These five Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are worth ten million celestial stones?"
Just from the literal meaning, one could tell that celestial stones were definitely more precious and valuable than celestial stones.
"Of course."
The Taixuan old man said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask around."
"…"
Where am I supposed to ask around?!
"Okay!"
Jun Changxiao picked up the pen and said, "I'll sign it!"
There were only a few dozen days left before the main mission, and he had to bring the sect to the Upper Realm. So, not to mention ten million, even if he owed a hundred million, he had to take the risk.
Whoosh!
He wrote his name and put his fingerprint on the receipt, and the five Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with incomparably pure aura were stored in the Space Ring.
"Senior."
Jun Changxiao said seriously, "With a stronger energy source, can the sect really ascend?"
The Taixuan old man kept the receipt and said, "I can't guarantee success, but you've got the things you want. You must pay me back ten million celestial stones within ten years."
"…"
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
The Taixuan old man said meaningfully, "Child, there are many tricky things in this world that may not necessarily succeed. The only thing we can do is to dare to try."
Back then, he suddenly came up with a great idea, so he tried. Although he failed, he eventually created the Creation Array of Heaven and Earth.
However, the old man didn't know that Jun Changxiao couldn't afford any failure in this tricky matter, because it was related to his soul.
"Understood."
"Farewell, senior!"
Jun Changxiao left the stone room and Phoenix Perch Mountain.
He had the Moonlight Cache to return to the Lower Realm, and he had five types of elemental energy that were thousands of times stronger than the mortal world. He could try to modify the array, but he wasn't confident at all.
"Sigh."
He sighed and said, "If I had more time, I could've gone to the place Senior Taixuan mentioned to find a stronger elemental energy source."
"Don't be discouraged."
The System said, "Don't you still have the store? If you can't do it, you can use it all up."
Jun Changxiao pulled himself together and said resolutely, "That's the only way!"
…
On the mountain peak.
The old man Taixuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the fading figure, and said to himself, "Young man, don't let me down."
Some people might think that the legendary figure of the Falling Star Continent was kicked in the head by a donkey to exchange five treasures for an empty IOU.
In fact, that wasn't the case.
The old man Taixuan could see that this person was no ordinary person. He had proven that by coming to the Upper Realm to find him in such a short time, so he was willing to offend all the major sects for him, and was willing to help him with treasures.
Jun Changxiao had obtained a stronger elemental energy source and decided to return to the Lower Realm to try. This was a gamble.
He was also betting that there would be a rising superstar in the Upper Realm in the near future, although … he didn't sacrifice an arm to feed the sea beasts.
The old man Taixuan looked up at the stars in the sky that were originally hidden in the dark, but were now as bright as light. He said to himself, "The shining of the dark stars may not be ominous, or an extraordinary person will be born!"
He quietly carried his luggage and left Phoenix Perch Mountain without looking back. Apparently, he was really planning to run away this time.
He had no choice.
He wanted to keep a low profile and study the Art of Divination. Now that he had beaten up someone, he had to stay away from trouble.
However, the formation here was not removed. If the major sects rushed in recklessly, they would be in for a treat.
…
Late at night.
Moonlight shone on the earth.
Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged outside a cave, then took out the Moonlight Cache.
He finally decided to return to the Falling Star Continent with the five treasures given by the old man Taixuan.
"Hesitation is not in the host's character." The System said, "Don't worry, try it boldly, I will always support you!"
Jun Chang smiled and said, "Can you give me some milk?"
"…"
The System roared, "Then on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope that the host will not be able to return to the Lower Realm for a reunion, and that he will not be able to bring the entire sect to the Upper Realm!"
Taking advantage of the fragrant milk, Jun Changxiao stood up and shouted to the sky with one hand, "Prajna Paramita!"
"Whoosh — — —"
The light flashed and went straight into the clouds.
"Hmm?"
The old man Taixuan, who had already left Phoenix Perch Mountain, stopped and looked back at the light that seemed to merge with heaven and earth. He exclaimed, "Could it be that I guessed right, an extraordinary person will be born?"
…
God knows how many years had passed in the Upper Realm.
Jun Changxiao, who had just arrived, disappeared in the light, leaving behind a sentence before he left.
"I will be back!"
--
PS: I didn't expect that Gou Sheng would return to the Lower Realm on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which could be considered as reuniting with his disciples and family. Here, I wish everyone a happy holiday, healthy health, and family reunion.
