Li Jianxing's Challenge: The Cause, Two Jumping Clowns

Returning to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land, Jun Wangyou acted as if nothing had happened.

As for the spirit mine, it only took a few breaths to go there and back, so Jun Wangyou wasn't in a hurry.

His original goal was just to get close to Qingfeng.

Someone like Qingfeng, who was extremely lacking in friendship and familial affection, was easy to approach.

He only needed to show a little care and closeness.

Qingfeng would unconsciously become dependent on Jun Wangyou.

This kind of affection was similar to that for an older brother or a father.

It would never betray him and was unbreakable.

Having navigated the business world in his previous life, Jun Wangyou had a deep understanding of human nature and hearts.

Dealing with a naive person like Qingfeng was as easy as pie.

In addition, Jun Wangyou also needed to figure out how to break the shackles on Qingfeng.

Of course, Jun Wangyou didn't have to do it.

Qingfeng was a Child of Destiny, blessed by destiny. Even without help, he would break his own shackles.

If Jun Wangyou interfered without permission, he might do more harm than good.

"No rush, no rush, I need to take it slow," Jun Wangyou said with deep eyes.

In the following days, Jun Wangyou occasionally went to the spirit mine and chatted with Qingfeng to deepen their bond.

The rest of his time was spent cultivating on Lingtian Peak, while also waiting for the challenge three days later.

During this period, the disappearance of the spirit energy from the spirit mine was discovered.

The Sacred Land dispatched many powerful experts to investigate, but they found nothing.

Jun Wangyou, who had been watching from the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Azure Sky Pure Spirit Bottle was half full of Innate Spiritual Energy!

This was comparable to millions of Spirit Stones!

This discovery made Jun Wangyou feel like he had found a new continent.

Eastern Continent, Hundred Star Sect.

Deep within the sect's forbidden grounds.

A young man in an embroidered green robe sat by a spring emitting misty vapor.

In front of the young man, a Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword was plunged into the ground.

On the other side of the spring, a white-haired old man sighed and asked, "Jianxing, do you have confidence in challenging Jun Wangyou?"

"The world is foolish, but you should know that everyone who breaks through the Eternal Extreme Realm is absolutely invincible among their peers, regardless of which realm's Eternal Extreme Realm they broke."

"If I don't have confidence... then I won't do it? Everyone says I'm not as good as him, but I don't believe it. I have to try." The young man spoke at this moment.

"Old Ancestor, you don't need to persuade me. The challenge has been issued. Tomorrow, it will be either his death or mine!"

"Alas! You child, you've always been this stubborn since you were little."

The white-haired old man was quite helpless and knew he couldn't do anything.

He then asked, "Is your challenge to Jun Wangyou related to the Myriad Law Immortal Sect?"

The Myriad Law Immortal Sect was a very famous great sect even in the Desolate Ancient Immortal Realm.

Its power was immense, far beyond what forces like the Holy Heaven Palace or Qi Tian Palace could compare to.

Not long ago, people from the Myriad Law Immortal Sect came, intending to select ten disciples from the Profound Domain.

It was almost unnecessary to say that everyone knew the Myriad Law Immortal Sect was interested in the top ten on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!

Li Jianxing did not hide his intentions and nodded, "Yes!"

The white-haired old man was immediately puzzled. "Aren't you the tenth? Why do you still need to challenge Jun Wangyou?"

Li Jianxing's face immediately darkened, and he said indignantly, "I thought so too, but the people from the Myriad Law Immortal Sect said my ranking is not accurate and highly controversial. Compared to me, they are more interested in that Jun Wangyou!"

"If I want to join the Myriad Law Immortal Sect, I must defeat Jun Wangyou honorably!"

"So that's how it is, no wonder."

The white-haired old man suddenly understood and said no more.

His gaze dimmed, and the white-haired old man carefully took out a silver disk.

"Jianxing, the sect can't help you much. Take this Silver Moon Star Disk. In a critical moment..."

"Ancestor, no!"

Li Jianxing was shocked and quickly waved his hands to refuse.

The Hundred Star Sect was a sect that rose within a thousand years, and no Immortal Ancestor had ever emerged from it.

The Integration Realm elder before him was the strongest in the Hundred Battles Sect.

This silver disc was the Hundred Battles Sect's treasured artifact, its grade unknown.

However, with this artifact, the white-haired elder could fight opponents several realms above him, even those in the mid or late Tribulation Crossing stage.

The power and preciousness of the disc were evident.

Deeply aware of the implications, Li Jianxing knew he absolutely could not take it.

Moreover, he only wished to defeat Jun Wangyou with his own true strength, not with external aids.

The elder sighed softly and extended his hand, "Child, take it. I know what you're thinking, but can you guarantee that Jun Wangyou will be as honorable and upright as you, and won't resort to underhanded tactics?"

"Furthermore, when you go to the Myriad Law Immortal Sect, you'll need external aids even more. The Immortal Realm is not like the Profound Realm; it's more brutal and perilous."

"So... take it."

The white-haired elder looked at Li Jianxing with kind eyes, as if gazing at his own grandson.

Li Jianxing's eyes immediately welled up. He took the silver disc, lowered his head, and remained silent.

After a long pause, Li Jianxing looked up, his gaze firm and resolute, "Ancestor, I will definitely win!"

Time flew by, and it was the third day.

Hundred Battles City, originally just a medium-sized, unremarkable city.

But today, the crowds in Hundred Battles City rivaled those of a giant metropolis.

All the inns and restaurants in the city were fully booked, and the shopkeepers were grinning from ear to ear.

They only hoped such days could last a few more.

The crowd in Hundred Battles City was incredibly diverse, gathering various forces from the Eastern Continent, countless famous powerhouses, and renowned geniuses.

Even prodigies from other continents had come, and some even came from beyond the continent, drawn by reputation.

In the city center, a battlefield occupying a hundred acres had already been constructed.

It was surrounded by a dense crowd.

The prices for the nearby inns and restaurants with excellent viewing spots had been driven up to astronomical figures.

Everyone was waiting for this true battle of supreme prodigies!

Just as the crowd was in an uproar, two figures suddenly crossed through the throng and landed on the battle stage built for Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing.

"Dongfang Mu! You slaughtered my wife and children years ago. Now that my divine art has reached great success, let us have a decisive battle today!"

"Hahaha, Chen Yi, you think you can have a decisive battle with me? I could crush you like a dog back then, and it's the same today, die!"

As the two finished speaking, they engaged in a fierce battle.

Below the stage, countless people watched in surprise and confusion.

"Who are these two?"

"I don't know, never heard of them."

"Do you even need to ask? They're just two fools trying to ride the coattails of the two prodigies' decisive battle to make a name for themselves!"

"Get down! We want to see the battle between the two prodigies, who the hell wants to see you two idiots?"

Someone in the crowd cursed angrily.

"Noisy!"

On the stage, the two, their true intentions exposed, were somewhat enraged.

With a wave of his hand, a sword was thrust out!

Vast Spiritual Power surged forth.

These two were actually cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The person who had just cursed them was pierced through the chest by a sword, his fate unknown.

After doing all this, the two resumed their 'battle'.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that they were merely acting, their goal being to gain fame.

Over ten million people were gathered in Hundred Battles City at this moment, and all their attention was focused on this small, hundred-acre stage.

As long as they could get on this stage, they could gain immense fame by doing anything.

Whether it was ill fame or any other kind, they would become known.

As long as they became known, they could reap significant benefits.

Whether it was to swindle and deceive, or to become guest elders in some sects, it would be easy.

Without fame, they were just ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune; with fame, fortune naturally follows.

Just as the two on stage were envisioning a bright future...

A piercing sound suddenly ripped through the sky at the edge of the horizon.

A Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword sliced through the air, plunging directly onto the battle stage.

A cold snort echoed from the distance.

"Get lost!"

It was Li Jianxing!

The crowd below erupted in excitement.

As the current nominal number one prodigy of the Eastern Continent, Li Jianxing had many fans.

However, the two people on stage, upon seeing Li Jianxing arrive...

Were not afraid; instead, they grew somewhat excited.

They exchanged a look, revealing sly smiles.

The two of them, obscure nobodies, had gained limited fame fighting each other.

But if they could fight the renowned number one prodigy, Li Jianxing, the fame they would gain would be unimaginable.

Li Jianxing hovered in the air, his icy gaze fixed on the two combatants.

"What, was I not clear enough?"

"So it's the Heavenly Prodigy Li. Why is Heavenly Prodigy Li angered? We were merely using the stage to settle a grudge. Since the owner has arrived, we shall step down."

"It's just that we've long heard of Heavenly Prodigy Li's great name. We wonder if we might ask for a single sword exchange with him?"

They were self-aware enough to know they were no match for Li Jianxing.

That's why they only asked for one sword exchange.

People were already prone to exaggeration. Today's single sword exchange might become a fierce battle of equals tomorrow.

So, regardless of the outcome, as long as Li Jianxing drew his sword against them, they would profit without loss!

"Heh, there are many who court death in this world, but this is the first time I've seen someone actively seek it."

Li Jianxing sneered, his gaze extremely cold. The way he looked at them was as if he were already looking at corpses.

"Since you desire fame so much, I shall grant it to you!"

With Li Jianxing's words, he swung his sword!

A blinding, dazzling sword light instantly illuminated the heavens and earth, followed by a vast expanse of black sword energy, like black bone spurs, covering the entire battle stage!

Witnessing this terrifying scene, the two were struck with extreme fear, even sensing a hint of death!

"Heavenly Prodigy Li, stop! We concede!"

The two shouted.

Li Jianxing acted as if he hadn't heard, coldly stating, "A sword once drawn cannot be regretted. Live if you block it, die if you don't!"

As his words fell...

On the stage, spurting crimson blood carried two heads soaring into the sky!

Two cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the same as Li Jianxing, couldn't withstand a casual swing of his sword!

The entire crowd was stunned!

In the air, Li Jianxing's expression was unchanged. He looked in a certain direction and asked with a smile, "Jun Wangyou, how was that strike?"
