#684 - My heart can't take it.

Jun Wuxie emerged from the Extraterrestrial Ruins, and as soon as he stepped out of the spatial gate, he was greeted by the excited gazes of the elders of the Eternal Ancient Academy.

The Great Elder, Second Elder, Ninth Elder, and others rushed forward almost instantly.

"You brat, you're finally out…"

The Great Elder and the others had slightly reddened eyes, and they heavily patted his shoulder.

"What's wrong with you all?" Jun Wuxie looked at their excited appearances with some surprise, and said, "It's only been half a year, you don't need to be so sentimental, right?"

"You still have the nerve to say that. Everyone else has come out, what were you doing inside?" The Great Elder's beard trembled as he said, "For more than a month, every so often, we couldn't sense your life fluctuations through the rune imprint left on your body. We old bones were almost tormented to death by you!"

"They said that in the final battleground, you encountered the encirclement and assassination of the natives, and you appeared in time to kill the native experts, saving them. In the month or so after that, we couldn't sense your life fluctuations nearly ten times. We thought you had suffered retaliation from the natives and had fallen into their hands…"

The Ninth Elder sighed incessantly. These days, their hearts had been hanging in the air, tightly stretched, never relaxing for a moment. That feeling of apprehension was truly too tormenting.

"Look at you old men, you're all so old, can you not be so sentimental? Your eyes are all red. If I didn't come out, were you going to start crying?"

Jun Wuxie teased with his mouth, but he felt very warm inside. He could feel the kind of care and love the elders of the Eternal Ancient Academy had for him.

"You little rascal, no respect for your elders!"

The Great Elder reached out to knock him on the head, but he cleverly dodged it.

"Alas, this time entering the Extraterrestrial Ruins, our academy suffered heavy losses among its geniuses. Fortunately, the harvest was still quite rich…" The Great Elder had a hint of heaviness in his eyes, then said in a self-comforting manner, "However, this is the only way to become a strong person. It is ultimately unavoidable that some will fall…"

"Fortunately, we have you." The Second Elder looked at Jun Wuxie with gratification, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid few of these geniuses would have been able to come out alive. This time, the situation in the Extraterrestrial Ruins broke the previous rules. Who would have thought that the natives would come out of the mountains ahead of schedule and set up a killing trap, intending to kill all of you!"

"The young supreme beings of Penglai and other ancient stars are truly detestable, actually helping the natives to deal with you. Outrageous!"

The Sixth Elder was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"It's okay, I have already killed most of the young supreme beings from those five ancient stars, now there are only five left." Jun Wuxie turned his head and glanced indifferently at the gate of the passage, saying, "Close it. There's no one left inside. Those five young supreme beings won't come out for the time being. They have now chosen to attach themselves to the Young Master of the Han Clan, presumably waiting until the Extraterrestrial Ruins are connected with our Lower Realm, and then come out together with that Young Master of the Han Clan."

The elders nodded, removed the magic formation, and the gate connecting to the Extraterrestrial Ruins gradually disappeared.

"Do you have any empty bottles or jars on you?"

"Yes, what do you need them for?"

The Great Elder took out several jars.

A flash of light appeared in Jun Wuxie's hand, and a very simple-looking jar appeared in his hand, filled with powerful and vigorous life essence.

The purity and quality of that life essence caused the seven elders of the Eternal Ancient Academy to shrink their pupils in unison, revealing shock, and their gazes instantly fixed on the jar in his hand.

"I'll give you some essence blood."

Jun Wuxie held the jar and poured the scarlet, crystalline blood into one of the jars in the Great Elder's hand.

The blood flowed out with a gurgling sound, and the energy of life was too rich, spreading out, causing the vegetation in the entire valley to grow vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some withered plants even sprouted tender buds directly.

"This is…"

Even the Great Elder found it difficult to restrain the shock in his heart, his voice trembling.

"The blood of the Han Clan's Old Ancestor, that is a powerhouse above the Half-Saint Extreme Heavenly Position, infinitely close to the Saint Realm. It has miraculous effects when used to heal injuries!"

Jun Wuxie replied casually, but it caused the seven elders to be dumbfounded, simply unable to believe their ears.

Infinitely close to the Saint Realm?

"You… you killed a powerhouse of that realm? How did you do it?"

While they were shocked, they couldn't help but feel very curious.

"The matter is like this…"

Jun Wuxie briefly explained the process, but the seven elders listened with sighs, their hearts like riding a roller coaster, constantly rising and falling with his narration.

"Your Heavenly Tribulation is the most terrifying weapon in the world, even existences of this realm were killed by you. The Han Clan has experts like clouds, but they suffered heavy losses and were greatly injured under your Heavenly Tribulation…"

"However, if the Han Clan really comes to our Lower Realm in the future, they will definitely be a terrifying enemy. Those thirty-odd Ancient Ancestors are not easy to deal with."

The Second Elder had a worried look on his face. According to Jun Wuxie's description, those Ancient Ancestors all had a talent intensity of level nine or higher in the legendary realm.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to have very strong sublimation techniques, otherwise, they would be even more terrifying.

"It depends on when they come out. If I cultivate to the Great Heavenly Position or above, what fear would I have of the Han Clan's Ancient Ancestors?"

Jun Wuxie was confident, even in the same talent growth realm, he had the confidence to compete with them across major realms!

"Your current cultivation…"

Only then did the seven elders realize that they had overlooked something when he mentioned transcending tribulation earlier.

Transcending tribulation, transcending what tribulation?

He had already transcended the Saint Realm Great Tribulation. If he transcended tribulation again, it could only be the Half-Saint Tribulation!

"You are already in the middle stage of the Lesser Heavenly Position Realm!"

They carefully checked his realm and couldn't help but exclaim.

How long had it been since he transcended the Half-Saint Great Tribulation? He had actually broken through from the early stage of the Lesser Heavenly Position to the middle stage. This speed was simply too perverted!

If this kind of thing happened to other geniuses, they wouldn't be so shocked.

But it was different for Jun Wuxie. First, he was a body cultivator, and the cultivation speed of blood energy was originally relatively slower; second, his talent growth intensity was too high, he had already reached the peak, and the amount of resources he needed for his own cultivation was many times more than other geniuses, and the quality of resources required was also higher!

"The middle stage of the Lesser Heavenly Position is far from enough…"

Jun Wuxie mentioned the matter of the geniuses from the Upper Realm, and the seven elders listened with faces full of shock.

There were actually geniuses from the Upper Realm who forcibly opened up the realm path and appeared in the Extraterrestrial Ruins?

"I was chased and killed by them for a long time, but in the end, I turned the tables, hahaha!"

Jun Wuxie laughed triumphantly and took out five different kinds of beast blood, putting them into the Great Elder's jar.

"This is… Divine Beast blood?!"

They were already numb from shock, staring blankly at the young man in front of them, unable to speak for a moment.

Divine Beasts from the Upper Realm, infinitely close to the Saint Realm, but they were all killed by Jun Wuxie, who was only in the Saint Realm, and he even took their corpses as resources. The blood of the Divine Beasts was right in front of them at this moment, so scarlet and crystalline, with overflowing essence.

"Don't keep these things for any students, I'm giving them to you."

As he said this, before the seven elders could recover from their shock, he took out seven fruits, surrounded by auspicious energy, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Hundred-Auspice Fruits?"

Their eyeballs were about to fall to the ground!

The Hundred-Auspice Fruit was also a legendary rare fruit in the Eternal Ancient Academy's Record of Rare Treasures. No one had ever seen it with their own eyes, but it was summarized based on some remaining records suspected to be from the Upper Realm.

This kind of rare fruit was too rare. It was the most top-notch among rare treasures. One was already a treasure, but Jun Wuxie took out seven whole ones!

"No, you keep this for yourself, give it to your confidantes to take. We old men don't need it at all."

The Great Elder and the others refused. They had already reached the Extreme Heavenly Position, and they couldn't break through anymore anyway, so why waste such a treasure?

"It can be used when going to the Upper Realm in the future. It should be able to directly break through to the Saint Realm with it, truly achieving a leap in the level of life. I still have a large number of Hundred-Auspice Fruits on me, you don't need to save them for me."

The Great Elder and the other elders looked at each other, then no longer refused and accepted them.

At this time, they saw the light in Jun Wuxie's hand constantly flashing, forming a colorful and gorgeous light.

Their breathing became more and more rapid, unable to believe their eyes, almost suspecting whether these scenes they saw today were a dream!

Jun Wuxie's hands were full of rare treasures of Half-Saint Extreme Peak quality, millennium Vermillion Fruits, Scarlet Jade Ginseng, and so on, all kinds of rare treasures, suspended in the air above his palm, the number was hundreds!

"You… did you steal someone's treasure trove?"

"Heh, the Han Clan's treasure trove, this kind of resource is surprisingly large."

When Jun Wuxie mentioned the Han Clan before, he only mentioned transcending tribulation and killing, and did not mention blasting open the Han Clan's treasure trove.

"No, this old man's heart can't take it anymore…"

Their Eternal Ancient Academy had a long heritage. Over the long years, although the resource storage was rich, Half-Saint Extreme Peak resources were very scarce!

However, the number of Half-Saint Extreme Peak resources in front of them was too terrifying, more than ten times their reserves!

"Take these, don't save them, use them when you need to. The protectors of the academy are only in the Middle Heavenly Position and Great Heavenly Position. It's just right to use these to improve their realm. Our academy is the facade of Emperor Beginning Star. When extraterritorial cultivators arrive in the future, there will inevitably be conflicts. The academy must be stronger."

After he finished speaking, a soul light imprint flashed in his brow, sharing the cultivation experience and insights on secret techniques from the Myriad Laws Treasure Canon with the seven elders.

They were completely stunned, looking at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

The harvest from entering the Extraterrestrial Ruins this time was probably more than the sum of all previous sessions!

The methods and luck of this young man were too terrifying, ridiculously strong!

It took them a long time to calm their excitement and shock.

The Grand Elder collected all the resources and then walked out of the valley with Jun Wuxie, returning to the Ancient Academy.

"Right, I need to return to the Great Zhou for a while."

Jun Wuxie said.

The Grand Elder's voice was slightly low as he said, "Go back. Now that you have abundant resources, there's no need to always stay in the Ancient Academy. The Heavenly Position Competition is in four months, and you only need to return before then. The world is not peaceful now. Your return is just in time to clean up those extraterritorial people."

Jun Wuxie's pupils constricted slightly upon hearing this: "Extraterritorial people?"

"That's right," Ninth Elder nodded, saying, "Two months ago, a large number of extraterritorial people appeared all over the world, seizing countless resources and secret places of this ancient star. They have also established strongholds in major cities, and now all the forces are being suppressed by them. Currently, the extraterritorial people are very close to the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Soul Hunting Hall, and the Golden Ancient City, making it even more impossible for the various forces to contend with them. Even the Sea Race is silent, retreating and avoiding provocation."

"Your women have all returned to the Great Zhou. Some time ago, we received news that Ji Yinlan left the Great Zhou, her whereabouts unknown. After our investigation, it seems she went to find her younger brother, Ji Beilan. It is said that she left in a hurry, with an anxious expression on her face."

Jun Wuxie's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out the Starry Sky Rune Communicator, trying to contact Ji Yinlan.

However, he did not receive a reply from Ji Yinlan. Her rune contact number was always grayed out.

A haze enveloped his heart.

This matter was very wrong.

Ji Beilan had been missing for a long time, how could Ji Yinlan suddenly learn of his news?

If Ji Beilan was really in danger, he would not be able to notify his sister in any way, letting his sister take the risk.

Then, who notified Ji Yinlan, and is the purpose of doing so really to save Ji Beilan?

"Yinlan is so smart, and she has awakened part of her past life's memories. She should have seen through this point long ago and will be very careful. Hopefully, there won't be any problems, right?"

He thought to himself, for now, he could only pray that she could safely and smoothly see Ji Beilan and bring him back. Other than that, he had no way.

He did not know where Ji Yinlan had gone. Even the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy had not been able to find out, and he simply did not know where to find her.

He returned to his cave, took the Gale Sacred Wolf and chariot into his portable world, bid farewell to the elders, and rode away on Lan Lan in an instant.

Lan Lan's realm increased with his growth, and now it was also in the mid-stage of the Lesser Heavenly Position. Its speed was too fast, even without using the Supernatural Speed, it reached a terrifying level of tens of thousands of times the speed of sound.

In two hours, they arrived at the Central Province Ancient City Teleportation Array, teleported to the Eastern Wilderness Ancient City, then teleported to the Southern Domain Ancient City, and then it only took an hour and a half to traverse tens of millions of miles and return to the Great Zhou.

The atmosphere in the Great Zhou Imperial City was somewhat different from usual.

He felt the abnormality as soon as he came back.

In the city, he saw several particularly luxurious or imposing buildings.

A magnificent temple, even the gate was shimmering with golden light, and the plaque on the door was engraved with lines of words filled with golden Buddha light — Buddha Light Illuminates All.

There were many monks walking around inside, and some people were kneeling in front of the temple gate, prostrating piously.

In addition to the temple, there was also a Taoist temple-like building, which was very ancient and grand.

There were also many devout believers in front of the Taoist temple, queuing up to enter and worship the statues in the Taoist temple.

In addition, there was a building with a wild and rough style, the entire building was very prominent in the city's building complex, it was the kind of very strong prominence!

He sensed many extremely powerful auras in these newly built buildings.

The aura in the temple was filled with Buddhahood and solemnity; the aura in the Taoist temple was close to nature; and in that rough building, each aura was aggressive, wild, and domineering.

How could Lingfei allow people to build such buildings in the capital?

These people are actually recruiting believers. Isn't this going to erode the faith of the dynasty's people?

Jun Wuxie's eyes twitched, and his face was very cold.

But he did not take any action. Now, the first thing to solve was the Unicorn Beast Clan and the clans of the three Beast Kings, and settle them down first.

As for other things, they would be discussed later!
