#2184 - Metamorphosis Effect

Jun Wuxie sliced open the tree trunk, and a burst of azure light bloomed, dazzlingly bright.

It was a cloud-like energy of azure hue that surged out from within the split trunk.

He reached out and drew it into his hand.

Wind Spirit Essence, a unique item, exclusive mission item for the Secret Realm, can also be used to forge or repair Wind-attribute exclusive divine artifacts.

Can be obtained by killing some Wind-attribute creatures above the God level.

Jun Wuxie smiled slightly and put away the Wind Spirit Essence.

At the same time, that section of the tree trunk turned into a rain of light.

With this, the last trace of the Wind Demon Tree completely disappeared.

"Divine Lord Jun, shall we return to Qingfeng Town now, or do you want to stay here and cultivate?"

Wan and Lanlan walked up to him.

This place was very quiet, making it a good place for cultivation.

However, this was, after all, a Secret Realm, arranged by the Ancestor of Order for the purpose of training those who came to temper themselves.

Now that the strongest creature here, the Wind Demon Tree, was dead, it would probably be difficult for the trainees to stay here for long. After a certain amount of time, they would be taken out.

In this case, cultivation might be interrupted.

"Let's go back to town first. After submitting the mission, we'll ask for a place to cultivate in the Divine Travel Merchant Guild. The manager shouldn't refuse.

There are still twenty-odd days before the siege battle begins.

I also have a large number of exclusive divine artifacts that need to be processed.

Because of the siege battle, the demand for exclusive divine artifacts from various forces will definitely be extremely high.

Just right, after returning to town, I can sell them for a good price.

The more exclusive coins, the better. Don't be fooled by the millions I have now, it's far from enough. As the Secret Realm trial path progresses and opens up, the demand for these exclusive coins will be very high in the future."

"Okay, then let's go."

"Iya, let's go, let's go out ~"

Lanlan transformed into a larger form, and Jun Wuxie pulled Wan onto its back.

The little fellow rushed to the entrance of the palace like a streak of blue light, disappearing into the teleportation formation.

It was very happy that its master finally didn't lock it up after using it.

Every time, it felt very aggrieved. Its master always made it stay in his inner space, locking it up, which was not fun at all.

The outside world was so much more beautiful.

After leaving the Wind Demon Palace, Jun Wuxie didn't walk far before he saw a large number of figures appearing at the end of his line of sight.

Clearly, these people were all heading towards the Wind Demon Palace.

Now, the seal on the Wind Demon Palace had been lifted, opening it to all trainees.

This meant that everyone could enter the Wind Demon Palace.

Naturally, people from various forces would come in groups.

Soon, Jun Wuxie and his companions encountered those people.

Lanlan leaped up, streaking across the sky like a blue flash, passing over the heads of the crowd.

"What was that? How could it be so fast?"

Everyone turned their heads sharply, but they couldn't see anything.

There were many mountains here, blocking their view.

"It seemed like a mount, and it looked like there were two people riding on its back?"

"Impossible, what mount could be so fast?

If it's really like you said, who are the two people on its back?

That Shi has probably already left. It can't be him, right?

Moreover, I haven't heard of him bringing a mount, especially one that's so fast!"

"Let's go, you must have been seeing things.

Maybe that was a powerful creature of the Secret Realm just now.

It's a good thing it didn't attack us, otherwise, if we were careless and didn't react in time, we would definitely suffer a loss and take casualties."

Those groups continued towards the Wind Demon Palace.

On the way back to town, Jun Wuxie encountered hundreds of groups of people.

Each group had at least several hundred people, and some had thousands, all heading to the Wind Demon Palace.

Riding Lanlan and using the advanced Divine Travel Talisman at a hundred times the speed, they finally returned to Qingfeng Ancient Town the next morning.

The current Qingfeng Ancient Town was many times more lively than when he had gone to the Wind Demon Palace.

There were too many people, it could be said to be a sea of people.

On the wide streets, people came and went, some riding mounts, some walking hurriedly, some looking around, and some entering and exiting various shops.

Before even entering the town, the clamor from within could be heard.

Jun Wuxie and Little Boundary Tree rode Lanlan into the city, attracting countless gazes along the way.

Looking at the clearly extraordinary exclusive divine artifacts he was wearing, many people were envious and jealous.

Everyone was discussing who this person was, wondering which force's prodigy he was, who even had such a magical mount.

Looking at the delicate patterns on his exclusive divine artifacts, they were probably all Emperor-grade artifacts.

It was truly enviable. The prodigies of the great forces were different. With the assistance of powerful sect experts, they were far from being comparable to those from small and medium-sized forces.

In the outside world, people competed for fathers, mothers, and backers. They didn't expect that when they came to this Secret Realm to train, they still had to compete for birth and sects.

Life was truly unsolvable.

Some people sighed, lamenting their bad birth and the injustice of fate.

… …

When Jun Wuxie arrived at the Divine Travel Merchant Guild, a large number of people were coming and going.

The once empty hall was now crowded with people, and long queues were lined up at each counter.

The manager was sitting on a rocking chair near the door leading to the inner hall.

Today, he looked somewhat different from that day, seemingly much more relaxed, and his worries were not as heavy.

The moment he saw Jun Wuxie, the manager was stunned, and his expression immediately became excited.

He stood up abruptly, gestured to Jun Wuxie, and turned to enter the inner hall.

When Jun Wuxie arrived at the inner hall, he saw the manager in the middle of the courtyard.

"Shi, how is it? Did you get the Wind Spirit Essence?

I heard the Heavenly Dao announcement that you killed the Wind Demon Tree!

I didn't expect it. I thought it would take you a long time to grow to the strength to kill the Wind Demon Tree, but you only took a little over a month!

You really shocked me!"

Jun Wuxie glanced at the manager, "I was almost tricked by you."

"This… cough…"

The manager's face was full of embarrassment, "The information I gave you did have some discrepancies.

Who would have thought that the Wind Demon Tree would actually recover some strength and reach Quasi-Fourth Order Super God level.

As the saying goes, the devil is one foot tall, but the dao is ten feet tall. You are still one step ahead."

Jun Wuxie didn't dwell on this issue with him.

He immediately took out the Wind Spirit Essence.

The manager smiled, took the Wind Spirit Essence, and said excitedly: "Quick, take off the Gale Shoes, I'll restore their grade for you!

You don't know how abnormal Jian Feng's Gale Shoes' effects are!

This pair of shoes, although they were Supreme grade at their peak, their actual effect was no weaker than a Peerless Divine Artifact!

Moreover, these Gale Shoes, after being restored to the Supreme grade, still have room for promotion.

Back then, Jian Feng relied on these Gale Shoes to be able to challenge even Tenth Order powerhouses, even competing with them!"

As the manager spoke, he saw that Jun Wuxie had already taken off the Gale Shoes. He reached out and sucked, and the Gale Shoes fell into his hands.

"By the way, did you obtain any Order Forging Divine Stones in the Wind Demon Palace this time?"

"Of course, more than one."

Jun Wuxie immediately took out three Order Forging Divine Stones, one each for the Second, Third, and Fourth Orders.

The manager looked at them in astonishment, dumbfounded.

"You even have a Fourth Order Forging Divine Stone!

Shi, your luck is really too good.

The chance of getting a Fourth Order Forging Divine Stone by killing the Wind Demon Tree is extremely low!

As expected of a legendary God of War recognized by the Heavenly Dao, a Martial Dao Super God, with unlimited future potential."

The manager patted Jun Wuxie on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Shi, the important task of maintaining world peace in the future will be entrusted to you.

To be honest, if you want to become stronger, you still need to cultivate special profound secret techniques.

I have several here.

You and I are destined, and you helped Uncle Jian to retrieve Jian Feng's remains, I can let you choose one."

As the manager spoke, he stretched out his hand in front of Jun Wuxie, rubbed his fingers, and conjured up several secret manuals as if by magic.

"However, you have to exchange them for these Gale Shoes.

Don't get excited yet. Although the Gale Shoes have good effects, they are, after all, divine artifacts, external objects.

But these secret manuals are different. As long as you cultivate the methods above, what you enhance is your own strength.

With your abilities, you will definitely be able to easily obtain this kind of divine artifact in the future.

Don't hesitate. For the important task of maintaining world peace, you should become stronger!"

As the manager's voice fell, before Jun Wuxie could speak, the voice of Order rang in his mind.

"Shi, Wu Jie Cao Xiang, the manager of the Divine Travel Merchant Guild in Qingfeng Ancient Town, wants to trick you. Are you willing?"

Jun Wuxie, who was about to respond to the manager, twitched his lips.

He really wanted to slap the soles of his shoes on the face of the Lord of the Secret Realm.

Was he being treated like an idiot?

It was said to be a trick, and he was still being asked if he was willing.

"Lord of the Secret Realm, if you ask such idiotic questions again, believe it or not, I'll slap you?"

He responded in his mind.

"Cough, that, Senior, please calm down. This is the program set in the past. I didn't do it on purpose."

The voice of the Lord of the Secret Realm was somewhat embarrassed.

Obviously, the reminder just now was not said by the remnant soul imprint he left behind, but by the Order set in the past.

"How is it, Shi, have you thought it over?

If you miss this great opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a chance again."

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the manager couldn't help but remind him with a kind face.

"I say, Manager, you really live up to your name, you really have no integrity.

I won't say what you did to Jian Feng when you went to Village No. 9 and what you got from him.

Presumably, the village chief agreed.

But now, you're actually using your incompetence to insult my intelligence, that's your fault."

Upon hearing this, the manager was shocked, "You… how do you know what I got from Jian Feng?"

"Don't you know you reek of Jian Feng?"

Isn't some part of you already shaped like Jian Feng?"

The moment these words were spoken, Wan, under her green veil, instantly blushed.

Lord Jun is so lewd, how could he say such wild things in public… …

The steward, Wu Jie Cao, turned green at that moment, his lips trembling with anger, his facial muscles twitching.

"Shi, how can you say such things? You have to be responsible for your words. Jian Feng is already dead, how could he do such a thing? You're actually slandering my purity!

Jian Feng and I are brothers, not having an affair. Your thoughts are too filthy!"

"You disgust me. My purity?

Your own mind is full of filth, what does that have to do with me?"

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he poked the steward's heart with his finger, "Isn't your heart shaped like Jian Feng's heart?

I saw Jian Feng's body at the time, and sensed the power of wind at his heart's location.

Now, that power of wind is inside your heart.

You know in your heart what you did to Jian Feng.

As for the filth you speak of, that's just a scene you've fantasized to satisfy your own intense emotions.

I must say, you have quite the taste."

"You… …"

The steward was so angry he almost suffocated, knowing he had failed to deceive and that he was no match for this Shi in words.

"Hmph, this steward quits! You can repair the Gale Shoes yourself!"

He directly threw in the towel.

"Hurry up and repair the Gale Shoes' grade, stop being so proud here."

Jun Wuxie, pulling the Little World Tree and taking Lan Lan, walked towards the inner hall, sitting down very comfortably.

The Little World Tree took out tea sets and began to brew tea.

"If you dawdle, you'll still have to repair the Gale Shoes in the end.

This is a hidden quest, you personally agreed to it back then.

Have you tasted the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning?"

"Shi, you win!"

The steward had no temper left. He originally wanted to find a way out, but Shi didn't give him any face, forcing him to land hard.

Jun Wuxie smiled, sipping the tea brewed by the Little World Tree, while watching the steward repair the Gale Shoes in the courtyard.

"Wan, what kind of tea is this, why is it somewhat similar to the fragrance on your body?"

Jun Wuxie took a few sips, feeling surprised, and looked at her in confusion.

The Little World Tree smiled gently and whispered, "Wan doesn't have any tea leaves on her, it's made with Wan's leaves. If Lord Jun doesn't like it… …"

"I like it very much."

Jun Wuxie interrupted her, not expecting the Little World Tree to use her own leaves to brew tea for him.

If he said he didn't like it, she would definitely be extremely sad.

Time quickly reached noon.

The steward, covered in sweat, walked in with the shoes.

The Gale Shoes were different from before. The patterns on them were much clearer and more refined, flowing with a cyan divine glow.

"Alright, I've repaired the Gale Shoes, and now they have been restored to the fourth-order Primordial Divine Artifact.

Also, this is the reward I promised you."

The steward placed the Gale Shoes and a storage bag together on the table in front of Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie opened the storage bag, and the first thing that caught his eye was the pile of exclusive coins inside, glittering with golden light. Scanning with his divine sense, there were exactly a million exclusive coins, no more, no less.

Besides the exclusive coins, there was also a pill inside, actually a third-order Breakthrough Divine Pill!

Jun Wuxie was overjoyed.

He currently needed the third-order Breakthrough Divine Pill.

He already had one on him, which could allow him to break through to the Half-Step Divine Lord Realm.

Now that he had a second one, it meant that he could directly break through to the Divine Lord Minor Celestial Realm.

At that time, his strength would undergo a huge leap.

He put away the storage bag, and then picked up the Gale Shoes to examine them.

Gale Shoes: Secret Realm Exclusive Fourth-Order Primordial Special Divine Artifact, obtained through special channels, possessing uniqueness, the former Divine Artifact of the Secret Realm's prodigy Jian Feng.

Increases the wearer's base defense by 100%, and increases the wearer's total defense by 400%, additionally providing the wearer with 40 times agility and speed.

Comes with a secret technique — Annihilation Stealth, the effect can obscure the perception of any creature below the fifth-order Absolute Immortal level. In stealth state, the wearer will lose the additional movement speed effect.

Comes with a secret technique — Free and Unfettered, the effect can ignore any attack methods used by creatures below the fifth-order Absolute Immortal level, freely traveling and unfettered.

Casting Free and Unfettered requires consuming Wind Essence, Wind Essence recovery time is a quarter of an hour.

The above effects' defense enhancement effect is halved for non-Secret Realm creatures.

Jun Wuxie was shocked.

He had thought that the effects of the Gale Shoes, repaired to the fourth-order Primordial level, would definitely be very strong.

But he didn't expect the effects to be so perverted.

This was not a Primordial Divine Artifact, even Supreme Divine Artifact shoes probably wouldn't be so outrageous.

Forty times agility and speed, and also comes with two super powerful secret techniques, one stealth secret technique, and one secret technique that can ignore attacks and travel freely.

The word "strong" could no longer describe it.

The first-order King-level Gale Shoes and the fourth-order Primordial-level Gale Shoes were simply worlds apart.

"Steward, lend me a cultivation room, I want to cultivate."

The steward's mouth twitched, watching him put on the Gale Shoes, extremely envious.

He immediately led Jun Wuxie and the others to the depths of the inner hall, giving them a secret room.

The Little World Tree and Lan Lan guarded beside him.

Jun Wuxie sat down cross-legged, preparing to take the third-order Breakthrough Divine Pill.

Until this moment, the Order's Voice actually had no prompts at all.

Logically speaking, the fourth-order Primordial Special Divine Artifact Gale Shoes should have been on the list.

But the Gale Shoes were not on the list.

Was it because it was a special divine artifact?

He thought about it, but didn't dwell on the matter. Breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm as soon as possible was the priority.
