“Then the war was finally over. All this time I had found it difficult to bring this matter up… Cough cough.” Jun Moxie acted as if he was embarrassed. “My skin is ultimately still too thin, if you hadn’t forced it out of me today, I really don’t know when I would be able to bring this up with you… I’m a person who is easily embarrassed… That’s how I am…”

Qiao Ying only felt as if her heart was in a whirl.

A plethora of emotions emerged within her… She found it amusing, but also disappointed, angry but also sad… all these conflicting feelings were truly indescribable…

Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but steal a glance at Jun Moxie. The thickness of this fellow’s skin could easily surpass the thickness of the Pillar of Heavens Mountain. And he still dared to pretend as if he was embarrassed and say things like ‘my skin is ultimately still too thin’… That’s the biggest lie in the world! Is there anyone else in this world who is more thick skinned than you?!

I wouldn’t believe it even if you killed me!

“Since it’s difficult to bring it up, then just keep it to yourself! May Manor Lord Jun pretend that nothing happened today. Qiao Ying will find her own way, but she wouldn’t need to worry Manor Lord Jun and make things difficult for you!” Qiao Ying said angrily, gritting her teeth as she flew away in a wind that was tinged with a light fragrance.

As she left, Great Beauty Qiao’s face was flushed, out of either embarrassment or anger. She muttered under her breath: “He’s still the same lecher from back then!”

But the infuriating thing was… That scoundrel had the cheek to pretend as if he were willing… As if he was the one who had suffered a great disadvantage… Hmph!

After this ridiculous nonsense, that suffocating depressing feeling in Qiao Ying’s heart also unconsciously lightened quite a bit.

“Hey, Miss Qiao, you can’t pretend that this matter didn’t happen ah… As the saying goes, one must fulfill what they have been entrusted to do… Your master, Old Gu, entrusted this matter to me before he passed, I absolutely must fulfill this ah! Even if I have to go through fire and water… You can’t just turn me into someone without morals ah… En, I mean… Actually… Actually…” From behind, Jun Moxie’s anxious voice could be heard.

It was obvious that Young Master Jun was quite stubborn on this matter. “Miss Qiao… Um, Little Ying… Uh… Don’t be in a hurry to go, let’s discuss how we can fulfill Old Senior Gu’s last wish, in what way, what methods, or what positions…”

A certain person seemed really sincere and genuine in the first half of his speech, making him seem like someone with great morals and principles… but it’s a pity that the later part of his words revealed his true colors. Some things that should be said, other things that shouldn’t be said, and things that can be said and cannot be said were all spewed out of his mouth…

“Discuss your head! You despicable, shameless lecher! Who cares about what methods and what positions…” Qiao Ying’s flustered and embarrassed voice could be heard from afar, before it gradually faded away…

Obviously, Miss Qiao had already fled far away. She grumbled angrily as she fled, as if this frustration could only be quelled with her biting him to death. Fulfilling my master’s last wishes is having to go through fire and water? You shameless person…

Jun Moxie plopped back into his seat. Heavens, I finally managed to pass it off. That was close! Then, his thoughts began to wander as he indulged in his fantasies. En? Qiao Ying’s last sentence was ‘who cares about what method or positions’… Uhm, this sentence has deeper implications huh… Is she saying that it’s also okay to use force as a method? Hm, and is any position fine?

As he daydreamed, Young Master Jun’s eyes formed into crescents as a wolf-like grin appeared on his face…

Actually Miss Qiao Ying was speaking out of spite and didn’t know what she was saying. But Young Master Jun interpreted her words as such… and his endless fantasies began to fill up his entire head…

Over the following days, the continent remained peaceful.

It seemed as if Zhan Kuang’s trace had completely vanished. And the dried up corpses no longer occurred. Misty Illusory Manor continued to remain silent, and there was no news from them.

The unexpected collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains brought about the sudden crisis of an invasion by the Outsiders. But it came just as quickly as it had left. In merely two months this bothersome headache that had kept the peak experts of the Xuan Xuan continent bothered was completely eradicated. Though the Xuan Xuan continent had also paid a hefty price for it. There was a large decrease in Xuan cultivators. All the Xuan cultivators were resting up, and hardly seen around anymore!

While those who were not Xuan cultivators, the common folks, were completely uninvolved in this crisis. They weren’t greatly affected. As the dust settled, everything seemed to have reverted back to normal.

Yet it was even harder to catch a glimpse of the Evil Monarch, Young Master Jun, during this period of time.

It was still possible to catch sight of him at night. Young Master Jun would seek the company of Guan Qinghan, Dugu Xiaoyi, or Miao Xiaomiao at night, sometimes individually, and sometimes, all of them together… Uh… and often tease and flirt with the ladies during mealtimes…

But Young Master Jun completely vanished in the day. He had been focused on his cultivation while staying inside the Hongjun Pagoda. Spending almost sixteen hours a day on practising!

He wasn’t the only one. Mei Xueyan was the same, accompanying Jun Moxie in the Hongjun Pagoda everyday to raise her own cultivation.

The two of them were the strongest in the entire Tian Fa, or even the entire Xuan Xuan Continent currently. If Zhan Kuang reappeared again, they would definitely have to be the main forces involved in the battle!

They could not afford to relax!

Both of them may already be extremely powerful, but even with Jun Moxie being a Half-Sage, there was still a considerable disparity between them and Zhan Kuang, this seasoned ultimate expert! Especially when Zhan Kuang was now a strange being that could not be killed, so this unique trait had undoubtedly increased the difficulty of this battle.

Aside from working doubly hard in cultivating, Jun Moxie put a huge amount of effort in refining pills. There was an endless supply of treasured ingredients piling up in the Hongjun Pagoda, all at his disposal. Young Master Jun was also getting more skilled with his pill refining with all the practice…

On the other hand, Mei Xueyan was completely devoted in her cultivation of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, raising her own skills.

Jun Moxie’s individual cultivation was in sync with the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. Even his mental fortitude could be gradually improved. When his mind, spirit and soul, skills and Hongjun Pagoda all attained the same level, they would all merge into one!

And when these few aspects had completely merged together, it meant that Jun Moxie was on the verge of breaking through again, to reach the eighth level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune any moment.

This was the unique trait that only Jun Moxie had, that others could only be envious of!

The Power of the Five Elements, Power of Wind and Cloud and Power of Lightning in Young Master Jun’s body also naturally attained a perfect equilibrium. And the only thing lacking now was the Power of Yin and Yang.

Jun Moxie was in a sophisticated state of imbalance between Yin and Yang.

If he managed to bring the Yin and Yang into a state of complete equilibrium, it would immediately unlock the eighth level of the Hongjun Pagoda and officially bring him into the eighth level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. But Jun Moxie could vaguely sense that this was something that mustn’t be rushed into. If his own skills were inadequate and he tried to advance by force, it would be an ugly scenario. It’d really be a disaster if he accidentally ended up being stripped of everything!

Thus Jun Moxie did all that he could to refine his own strength, mind, and all the powers that belonged to him, be it Xuan skills or other divine skills. He did all that he could to condense, combine, and master every one of them, ultimately merging them all into one.

Yet every time, at the final moment before it all merged, there would be a minor slip up and his success would be thwarted…

While Young Master Jun continued to struggle arduously, Mei Xueyan wholeheartedly worked on assailing the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune.

Her situation was completely different from that of Jun Moxie. Her own mental fortitude and skills had already greatly surpassed the realms of her current Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune.

The current skills Mei Xueyan possessed was whatever that was left after returning back to Tian Fa from the great battle. While Jun Moxie ceaselessly refined pills, Mei Xueyan was naturally the first person to take them. With all these repeated boosts, her own skills had already reached the level of a fourth level Saint Monarch. But her Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune was merely of a third level breakthrough.

This was undoubtedly a huge and obvious flaw. Like a huge disparity existing in a person’s body at the same time.

Thus Mei Xueyan must put greater efforts in the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, raising her own cultivation as quickly as possible. With her powerful skills of a fourth level Saint Monarch, it would be extremely easy for her to suffer a Devil’s Bite if her mental fortitude was inadequate. And she was not like Jun Moxie, and didn’t have the help of the Hongjun Pagoda to control these powers. She would need to attain the fifth level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune in order to wield these powers properly.

As Jun Moxie had the Hongjun Pagoda, it could perfectly make up for whatever he was lacking in. However, this also resulted in a majority of the powers Jun Moxie could absorb to be sapped away. Thus, though Jun Moxie may have already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, he was unable to wield about fifty percent of the skills.

And this was completely different from Mei Xueyan.

In summary, both of them were spending all their time cultivating, hoping to allow themselves to utilize their greatest abilities as quickly as possible…

The spiritual qi in the Hongjun Pagoda came surging in like tsunamis, gushing into their bodies in a mad frenzy. Then, it automatically absorbed large amounts of energy from the external world to replenish inside the Hongjun Pagoda.

Hongjun Pagoda’s actions had resulted in a giant funnel to appear in the skies of Tian Fa Forest that spanned for thousand li, narrowing as it descended. All the Spiritual Qi of the entire continent came gathering over just like this…
