Ancient Battlefield

Jun Moxiao hurried toward the Treasure-Splitting Cliff, summoned the Haotian Pagoda from the system, and contacted its artifact spirit. "Haotian Pagoda, wake up!"

"This old fellow was still sleeping! What is it?"

The Haotian Pagoda's lazy voice sounded in Jun Moxiao's mind, as though it had only just woken up.

"Haotian Pagoda, how strong are you now?"

The Haotian Pagoda replied, "Around the peak of the Immortal King realm. Escorting you into this world weakened us. If you could replenish us with some supreme treasures, we might recover. Those Ginseng Fruits of yours, for example. I don't need many-just give this old fellow a few."

"That won't do. Supreme Liquid is too low-grade for you, and I need the Ginseng Fruits to save people. I'll find you some heavenly materials and earthly treasures later. You know I'm still poor!"

Jun Moxiao thought, I haven't even eaten a Ginseng Fruit myself. How could there be any for you?

The Haotian Pagoda said, "You call yourself poor? You have the Great Void Divine Armor, the Creation Green Lotus, the Damage-Reflecting Divine Armor, and a trashy Heavenly God Weapon. Give me some Supreme Liquid. This old fellow has only just woken up and hasn't quite adjusted yet!"

Jun Moxiao asked, "You'd settle for something that low-grade?"

The Haotian Pagoda replied, "The pagoda itself doesn't need it, but it can replenish the artifact spirit and moisten my throat."

Jun Moxiao took out five drops of Supreme Liquid for the Haotian Pagoda to absorb. It claimed they were to moisten its artifact spirit's throat, but he felt the pagoda was pulling his leg.

The Haotian Pagoda returned to Jun Moxiao's body, and its lazy voice sounded in his mind again, leaving him feeling that this pagoda was thoroughly unreliable.

"If you run into trouble, call this old fellow. I'll recover a little first."

Jun Moxiao reached a field of lava. The system prompted him, "Master, this is Earth Phoenix Fire. There's a small world below! It contains supreme treasures: five-element stone, star iron, and chaos sand. Hurry down and gather them. These are treasures left by an Immortal King expert."

"This fire is incredibly hot! Meng Die, are you sure I can withstand it?"

The system replied, "You're hopelessly stupid. The Great Void Divine Armor has invincible defenses. Hurry and contact its artifact spirit."

"Great Void Divine Armor, wake up!" Jun Moxiao hurriedly called out.

The armor's artifact spirit replied, "I've been awake for ages. Don't worry. Let me take a look!"

Jun Moxiao assigned the Great Void Divine Armor its task. After all, he could not withstand such high temperatures right now.

"Great Void Divine Armor, I'm going down to collect some divine materials to upgrade you all."

The armor's artifact spirit replied, "Don't worry. Leave it to me. I guarantee not a hair on your head will be harmed."

Jun Moxiao felt that these two divine weapons must have lost their ranks while protecting him during his journey into this world. After all, both were divine weapons with peerless defenses.

The Great Void Divine Armor transformed at once, covering his entire body like a Transformer mech. What an awesome move!

Jun Moxiao jumped straight down and remained completely unharmed. Having good equipment really was wonderful.

The system said, "Master, a few hundred meters ahead! Hmm, there's also an Incomplete Immortal King Weapon-a fragment of a disk-and a remnant soul imprint of a Dark Immortal King."

"Could that be the Reincarnation Immortal King's Six Paths Reincarnation Disk? And could that Dark Immortal King be the Pu Demon King, an Immortal King from the Foreign Realm?"

The system replied, "Exactly. Master, prepare yourself and have the Haotian Pagoda act."

Jun Moxiao summoned the Haotian Pagoda. It was time to put it to work.

"Haotian Pagoda, there's a powerful enemy. Sorry for the trouble, but I need you to act."

"Hmm! This dark power is truly evil! This foe was once an Immortal King. It seems the disk's owner suppressed him here to slowly grind away his remnant soul. No matter. This old fellow hasn't stretched his limbs in ages. I'll destroy him."

With that, the Haotian Pagoda released a burst of golden light and sucked the mass of shadow straight inside. Its voice rang out with vast heavenly might. "Evil demon, today this pagoda will suppress and slay you!"

Endless golden light erupted, instantly grinding away the mass of shadow.

An earth-shaking roar came from within the pagoda. "When my immortal race descends, we will devour every living creature in this world!"

"Evil demon, you still dare run wild? Perish!"

The Haotian Pagoda shot out even stronger golden light. The mass of darkness roared twice more before finally vanishing completely.

The Haotian Pagoda withdrew its golden light and pulled over the fragment of the Reincarnation Disk from afar.

"Hmm! A damaged Immortal King artifact. This is the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk."

A figure suddenly appeared, looking rather like a projection! Jun Moxiao guessed that it was the Reincarnation Immortal King's remnant soul imprint.

The figure murmured to himself, "The Pu Demon King's remnant soul has vanished. Which fellow Daoist intervened?"

"Senior, are you the Reincarnation Immortal King? The Haotian Pagoda has already destroyed the Pu Demon King, but there's still a young Pu Demon Tree outside. Rest assured, Senior. I'll deal with it and won't let it grow up to bring disaster upon all living beings."

Jun Moxiao looked at the imposing man before him. Although he was only a projection of an imprint, his powerful aura seemed too immense for the entire world to contain.

"I am only a remnant soul imprint. Back then, I struck down the Pu Demon King, an Immortal King, but failed to kill him completely. I was also surrounded and killed by the Foreign Realm's Immortal Kings, and even my Reincarnation Disk shattered into several pieces. I could only leave a remnant soul imprint to suppress and slay the Pu Demon King here. Today, he has finally vanished for good. At last, a great threat has been resolved."

"This Haotian Pagoda is very powerful!"

The Reincarnation Immortal King told Jun Moxiao about some events from back then. Seeing the Haotian Pagoda's powerful aura, he was utterly astonished.

The Haotian Pagoda said, "I am a Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon, after all. Though I haven't recovered to that level yet, I'm still quite capable."

The Reincarnation Immortal King asked, "A Quasi-Immortal Emperor? That powerful?"

The Reincarnation Immortal King was still somewhat unfamiliar with Quasi-Immortal Emperors. After all, the opponents he had encountered during his lifetime had only been Immortal Kings.

"How are the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths now? We calculated the future back then, but never saw you. The person who appeared in fate brought an end to the darkness, yet your strength completely breaks this world's rules."

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths aren't doing well, but there's hope. Senior, the person whose future you calculated is my brother, and he's already stronger than in the future you foresaw. He will definitely end the darkness. He also received your legacy, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art."

Jun Moxiao told the Reincarnation Immortal King about some of the current affairs in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He even mentioned that Shi Hao had learned the Supreme Hall's peerless heavenly art. The Supreme Hall had been founded by Reincarnation and No End back then.

The Reincarnation Immortal King let out a long breath. In that case, his peerless heavenly art had found an inheritor as well.

"So you are a variable. Then we can rest easy. Keep this little disk fragment. Perhaps you can find all the pieces. Reassembled, it will still be an Immortal King artifact. I am only a remnant soul imprint from the past and will soon disappear. I hope you can bring an end to the darkness!"

Jun Moxiao replied, "Rest assured, Senior. We will succeed."

The Reincarnation Immortal King's remnant soul vanished. Had his research into reincarnation succeeded? There seemed to be no path of reincarnation in Perfect World, though many people said Cao Yusheng was the Reincarnation Immortal King reborn. In later ages, Duan De also kept digging up graves in search of his memories, and Cao Yusheng's deepest attachments were to Shi Hao and Little Rabbit.

Jun Moxiao gathered the five-element stone, star iron, and chaos sand. These must have been left behind by the Reincarnation Immortal King back then! He then gave the divine materials to the Haotian Pagoda and the Great Void Divine Armor.

The two divine artifacts said excitedly, "Haha...! Collect more spiritual stones and divine materials for us in the future."

Jun Moxiao said, "I know, even without you telling me."

Jun Moxiao left the underground space. This trip had yielded far more than its worth.

Meanwhile, after several twists and turns in a field of lava, Shi Hao obtained a small pagoda-the Chaos Pagoda.

Then the White Tiger that had clashed with Shi Hao in Broken Void City blocked his path, intending to steal the little pagoda.

Shi Hao drove the little White Tiger away in just a few moves. The tiger decided to find help and set a trap for him, while Shi Hao prepared to chase it down and finish it off! Suddenly, the Ghost Master's voice rang out. "My sword, the Treasure-Splitting Cliff."

Shi Hao had no choice but to follow the Ghost Master's instructions and head to the Treasure-Splitting Cliff. Seeing treasured artifacts dancing across the sky, he was tempted, but the artifacts chose their own masters, and he failed to grab even one. The Ghost Master kept urging him on. At last, he found a rust-covered Broken Sword embedded in a rock at the summit. The Ghost Master's voice rang out again. "My sword!"

Certain this was the sword, Shi Hao grabbed its hilt and pulled it out. One look told him how battered it truly was. Forget it. However broken it was, it had once been the Ghost Master's sword.

Jun Moxiao reached the Treasure-Splitting Cliff. Seeing so many people and Fierce Beasts collecting treasured artifacts, he shouted, "Hello, everyone! I'm about to start robbing you. Hand over every treasured artifact you've obtained!"

The Fierce Beasts were furious. "Boy! Who are you?"

Someone sharp-eyed said, "He's that Invincible Handsome Guy from the Void God Realm."

Everyone was shocked. How had they run into this ruthless fellow? How were they supposed to compete now?

Jun Moxiao wasted no more words and started snatching things. With the Great Void Divine Armor's support, everyone saw only a blur flash past before all the treasured artifacts they had just acquired were stolen. Even those flying through the air were swept clean. Jun Moxiao planned to use these artifacts to upgrade the Heavenly God Weapon Cleaver.

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, approaching from afar, stared open-mouthed. Shi Hao shouted, "Moxiao! You're incredible! So many treasured artifacts!"

The other Fierce Beasts, Passerby A, and Passerby B recovered from the robbery and fled the scene. Who would dare provoke such a ruthless fellow?

Jun Moxiao let Huo Ling'er and Shi Hao pick out suitable treasured artifacts.

Jun Moxiao asked, "Where's Brother Prominent Horns? Wasn't he with you?"

"We found taiyi true water together, then split up again. He said we'd meet at the exit. Oh, right! I also took in a big red bird as my underling. It's a primordial remnant."

Shi Hao told Jun Moxiao about some of his earlier fortunate encounters.

Jun Moxiao asked, "That stinking bird?"

Shi Hao asked, "You've met it?"

Jun Moxiao said, "It's coming. The bird isn't here yet, but its booming voice has already arrived."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the big red bird flew over to Shi Hao, shouting all the while, "Boss, save me!"

Shi Hao asked, "What are you yelling about?"

Big Red replied, "The Nine-Headed Golden Lion has been trapped by that White Tiger."

Hearing this, Shi Hao immediately shouted, "How dare it bully my underling! Come on, take me there!"

They climbed onto the big red bird and flew off.

Jun Moxiao said, "Let's kill the White Tiger for an extra dish today! It probably called in helpers too."

Big Red asked Shi Hao, "Boss! This brother looks unfamiliar. Who is he?"

Shi Hao said, "This is my brother. You have to call him Boss too. He's the Invincible Handsome Guy from the Void God Realm. Heard of him?"

Upon hearing that he was that ruthless fellow, Big Red immediately cast aside all shame. "Boss, so you're the Invincible Handsome Guy! You really are both handsome and invincible."

Jun Moxiao said, "Enough! Follow Hao Tian faithfully, and when the chance comes, have him teach you the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique."

Huo Ling'er asked, "You know the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique? Who taught you?"

Shi Hao said, "What's the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique compared to everything else we know? Junior Sister, if you want to learn, I'll teach you when I get the chance!"

Huo Ling'er said to Shi Hao, "You little brat, don't you dare trick me."
