Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Sixth Elder saw that Jun Wu Xie remained unmoved, only looking at him with a teasing gaze.

He gritted his teeth secretly, stepped forward, took out a long whip with thorns, offered it with both hands, and said, "This old man remembers now, it seems that it was this old man who said those words. I was reckless that day, and now I truly regret it. Here, whip this old man, whip me until you feel relieved!"

"I think it's better to forget it," Jun Wu Xie shook his head and said, "I won't beg you, Myriad World Academy. I really can't afford to climb so high."

"No! It is this old man who begs you, begs you to whip me, begs you to go to Myriad World Academy to cultivate!"

As the Sixth Elder spoke, he disregarded everything and knelt down.

Feeling the gazes around him, his old face turned red, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Sixth Elder, what kind of posture is this? You are a dignified elder of Myriad World Academy, a supreme expert of the Extreme Heaven Realm. I can't afford this."

Jun Wu Xie said this, but he had no intention of helping him up. Instead, he busied himself with the things in his hands, muttering to himself, "Well, today I should be able to completely build these few houses."

Seeing his attitude, the Sixth Elder knelt there, his face turning liver-colored, and said, "Wu Xie, will you come with us to Myriad World Academy? If you don't go back, this old man will kneel here and not get up!"

Jun Wu Xie was stunned and immediately found it amusing. He was being threatened.

"Alright, kneel if you want to kneel, as long as it doesn't affect my work."

Jun Wu Xie's attitude was indifferent, and then he became busy, gradually seeming to forget the Sixth Elder. When other elders came forward to talk to him, they were also ignored by him.

The elders looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts. If Old Six knelt down to beg like this, and he still didn't want to go back in the end, then it would be a disaster.

In that case, what would be the point of opening Myriad World Academy this time? It would be better to simply close the academy.

Compete with the Sacred Ancient Palace?

That was simply a joke, it was like sending themselves to be humiliated!

And so it went until noon.

"Qingcheng, don't neglect the guests, brew some tea for the elders. As for the one kneeling, forget about him. He's not thirsty and doesn't need to drink tea."

Hearing this, the muscles on the Sixth Elder's face twitched a few times. He thought that this kid was too outrageous. He had already knelt down for him, what else did he want? Not agreeing to go back was one thing, but he was even mocking him.

"Old Six, just kneel properly and deeply recognize your mistakes."

The First Elder and the others sat around the bluestone table, drinking tea, and said this.

They now had only one thought in their minds, and that was to invite Jun Wu Xie back no matter what. The path that Old Six had blocked himself, he had to walk through it on his knees.

Time slowly passed, and for the Sixth Elder, it was simply torture, an afternoon felt like a thousand years.

He felt very tormented and uneasy, worried that he would not be able to obtain Jun Wu Xie's forgiveness. In that case, he would be forever nailed to the sin monument of the academy, becoming the eternal shame of the academy.

He begged for an afternoon, feeling that his throat was about to smoke.

But that young man never responded to him, instead chatting idly with the other elders.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's a pity it's near dusk. Elders, I think you prefer the morning sun, right?"

Jun Wu Xie looked at the blood-red setting sun, the sky was fiery red, and the evening breeze fluttered his thick hair, blowing up his moon-white sword robe.

The First Elder glanced at the Sixth Elder kneeling there and said, "We are all old men in our twilight years, so naturally we yearn for the vigorous morning sun, just like young people like you. The future belongs to you, we are just guides and protectors. If anyone wants to stop the morning sun from rising, this old man will never agree."

The Sixth Elder knelt there, and when he heard these words, his lips trembled a few times.

These few people were whipping him in their words, mocking him all day long. This old face of his was completely trampled to nothing.

Alas, he was such a proud person, with such a stubborn and fiery temper, but in the end, he couldn't have any temper at all.

"Sixth Elder, are your legs numb?" Jun Wu Xie turned the teacup in his hand and sighed, "Look at you, you're already so old, and you still have to run here and kneel. What is it for?"

"It's alright, this old man's knees are tough, and the ground of your Zhuxian Sword Sect is soft." The Sixth Elder said insincerely in a serious tone, looking at him with a hopeful face: "Wu Xie, is your anger gone? Will you come back to Myriad World Academy with us? This old man begs you, begs you to go to our Myriad World Academy to cultivate, begs you to give our Myriad World Academy a chance, okay?"

"Ah? Did I hear you right? Is it me begging to go to Myriad World Academy, or you begging me to go? I don't seem to have heard clearly just now."

He looked at the Sixth Elder playfully.

The Sixth Elder's lips trembled a little, and he said, "It is this old man kneeling here begging you to go to Myriad World Academy to cultivate, how could it be you begging to go? It is this old man begging you, you didn't hear wrong, absolutely not!"

"Tsk tsk, this request is quite excessive. Really, I have never heard such an excessive request, but the Sixth Elder is quite sincere. Seeing that you are so sincere..."

Suddenly, the Sixth Elder and the First Elder and the others all held their breath, looking at him with fiery eyes, and their ears perked up.

"It's really difficult..."

The First Elder and the others' hearts sank involuntarily.

"However, I am soft-hearted, and I can't bear to see you so old, running here every day, and the Sixth Elder even kneeling. If I delay any longer, it would really be a bit inhumane. Forget it, I'll go to Myriad World Academy with you, sigh."

"You agreed?"

This time, the Sixth Elder was even more excited than the First Elder and the others. He rushed up in an instant, grabbed Jun Wu Xie's hand, and his face trembled with excitement, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

He finally didn't have to be nailed to the pillar of shame, didn't have to become a sinner of the academy, despised by the world!

At this moment, he, who had been deeply tormented, couldn't restrain himself and actually felt a sense of tears welling up in his eyes.

As for kneeling, begging, losing dignity, etc., it was all no longer important.

"Sixth Elder, your face is about to split from smiling."

"You little brat, what if this old man wants to whip you now? You actually made this old man kneel for a day!"

The Sixth Elder was in the mood to be angry again, blowing his beard and glaring.

The corners of the First Elder and the others' eyes twitched violently, afraid that he would cause trouble again, they were so scared that they were about to stop him.

At this time, Jun Wu Xie grabbed the Sixth Elder's beard and said, "You old guy with a bad temper, don't you want your beard anymore? Coming at me with force, kneeling for a day is already letting you off easy. Otherwise, just go back to Myriad World Academy with you like this, doesn't Jun Wu Xie need face?"

"Boy, let go quickly, I admit you're ruthless! This old man's face that I've accumulated for ten thousand years has been torn to pieces by you! If you don't beat those geniuses from outside the region to a pulp in the Heaven Realm Competition, this old man will kick your ass into eight pieces!"

He angrily broke free from Jun Wu Xie's hand and glared at him fiercely.

"You really are an interesting old fellow..."

Jun Wu Xie was actually quite emotional in his heart. The reason why he made the Sixth Elder kneel here for a day was to use his divine sense to sense the fluctuations in his heart, to see if he harbored resentment towards him for coming to beg him without any dignity.

According to common sense, he should hate himself very much and feel extremely humiliated.

But after sensing him, he found that the Sixth Elder only felt that he had lost face, but he didn't feel any humiliation, and he didn't seem to have any hostility towards him.

This old fellow's personality really made him difficult to understand.

Stubborn people are often like this, doing everything so stubbornly, once they've decided, they're single-minded.

"You really are a vengeful brat!"

The Sixth Elder cursed and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"Wu Xie, will you go with us?"

The First Elder was also in a very good mood. This young man had finally agreed to return to Myriad World Academy.

These past few days, their hearts had been up and down, and now they could rest assured.

"Let's go now."

He looked at the distant sky, and a figure came quickly and landed in the courtyard. It was Lingfei.

"Young Master, are you about to leave?"

She nodded to the elders of Myriad World Academy as a greeting.

"Well, the matters of the imperial court and the sect still require you and Chenyu's hard work."

Jun Wu Xie said this. Since returning that day, Yue Chenyu had not appeared, teaching the young disciples of the sect to practice swords day and night, and he had not disturbed her either.

"Young Master, don't worry, we are here. You and the sisters must take care of yourselves."

She said to Jun Wu Xie and Ji Yinlan and the others.

Jun Wu Xie nodded and summoned the Gale Sacred Wolf.

Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu boarded the chariot.

Mu Yuning and the others had not left the chariot since returning, and had been cultivating inside.

"Let's go."

The First Elder tore open the void, his body emitting true energy, wrapping around the chariot, and stepped into the void passage in one step. The other elders also followed in.

Jun Wu Xie only felt that the surrounding and forward space was constantly twisting, but in a moment, the end of the void cracked open, and the light of dusk shone in.

Coming out of the void passage, he found that this was already the sky above the Spirit Gathering Peak of Myriad World Academy.

This speed shocked him!

Experts at the peak of the Extreme Heaven Realm were truly extraordinary. This hand of void traversal was really amazing.

The distance from Great Zhou to Myriad World Academy was measured in hundreds of millions of miles, but the First Elder brought them and arrived in a short moment.

"Your cave dwellings have been reserved for you. Seize the time to cultivate these few days. The geniuses from those six ancient stars are about to arrive. It is estimated that the elders of the Sacred Ancient Palace will also arrive soon. The people from those six ancient stars have always liked to target the human race of the Emperor Beginning Star, and they will have high-level people following them, so you must be careful. That God-Slaying Sword of yours, it's better not to summon it easily. You shouldn't be able to summon that level of divine weapon at will, right? Leave the opportunity for later, and use it when needed."

Jun Wuxie nodded to the Grand Elder upon hearing this.

"In a few days, we will have people send over Starry Sky Rune Communicators. At that time, you can use them to learn more about the situation outside the domain. There's nothing else. Just wait patiently for the opening of the extraterrestrial ruins."

The Ninth Elder patted Jun Wuxie on the shoulder, and then left with the Grand Elder and others.

Gathering Spirit Peak was very quiet, without a single person in sight.

Everyone was in their cave dwellings, cultivating in seclusion.

Jun Wuxie and the others also returned to their respective cave dwellings.

Now time seemed to be a bit tight. The elders of the Universal Sage Ancient Mansion were coming?

What were they coming for?

And those six ancient stars of life, not only were young talents arriving, but there were also elders accompanying them, likely figures in the Semi-Saint realm.

"This is really a headache. Once there are intense conflicts, those Semi-Saints will definitely intervene. Although the Grand Elder and the others will side with me, I don't want them to come forward. This could easily trigger a great war between the ancient stars of life, and then our Emperor Beginning Star will fall into complete isolation..."

Jun Wuxie sat cross-legged on the jade stone bed, massive amounts of spiritual energy entering his body through the jade stone.

He was thinking about some things. Although the Grand Elder and the others were his strong backers, he couldn't always rely on them to come forward whenever something happened. It would be best if he had his own means of solving problems.

After cultivating in the cave dwelling for a day, he realized that, given his current situation, it was better to cultivate dark energy first.

In the Taiji Star Sea, the star sea of dark energy was relatively weak, seemingly creating some kind of imbalance.

So, he took out the stone platform from the Eternal Life Shrine.

That Dark Spirit Evil Corpse began to tempt him again. Leaving the Eternal Life Shrine, its obsession became active.

Jun Wuxie turned a deaf ear, came to the stone platform, kept his distance from the evil corpse, and activated the life stars in his body. A strong suction force began to devour dark energy from a distance.

Although the speed of devouring like this was definitely much slower than devouring in contact with the Dark Spirit Evil Corpse, it was enough for Jun Wuxie. After all, refining dark energy took time, and devouring too quickly would outpace the refining speed.

After two days like this, the number of stars on the dark energy side of the Taiji Star Sea had increased somewhat.

His realm had also increased. He estimated that in a few more days, he would be able to break through to the fourth transformation of the Saint Sect. After all, he was already at the peak of the third transformation, only a step away from the fourth.

On this day, he heard the noise outside.

It wasn't that the restriction couldn't isolate the outside movements, but that he had been using a trace of his divine sense to perceive the situation outside.

"Have the people from those six ancient stars arrived?"

He put away the stone platform, got up and walked out of the cave dwelling, and saw three young men in the distance swaggering around, inspecting the cave dwellings of Gathering Spirit Peak.

Of the three, one walked in front, and the other two walked slightly behind on either side, all with their hands behind their backs.

The three of them held their heads high, looking very arrogant, with remarkably consistent expressions, their upper lips slightly curled, looking here and looking there.

In front of those cave dwellings, people were whispering about the three of them.

"Ah, Young Master Jun, you're back?"

A familiar voice came from behind, it was Xu Yan'ning of the Spirit Control Sect, and those geniuses who said they wanted to follow him.

Jun Wuxie nodded, looked at the three people in the distance, and said to Xu Yan'ning and the others: "Who are they? They seem to be causing quite a stir. Why is everyone talking about them?"

"I heard they are from the Ancient Star of South Xinluo. The one in the middle is the strongest genius of that ancient star, called Park Ye-ji. The two following him are direct descendants of the Park family. The skinny one on the left is called Park Cheng-zhen, and the one on the right is Park Duan-gen..."

The muscles on Jun Wuxie's face twitched a few times, and he said: "What kind of weird names are these?"

Xu Yan'ning's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said: "Who knows? The Ancient Star of South Xinluo once stole our culture and used our writing, but they don't seem to understand the meaning of our writing, so it seems neither fish nor fowl."
