Translator:Ā Ā However, Jun Mo Xie was still holding back until he had at least broken past the bottleneck and into the second layer of the Hongjun Pagoda since his strength would then be considered at par with that of an Earth Xuan expert by the standards of the Xuan Xuan continent; but before that time, the risk was simply too big!
However, the Xue Hun Manorās threat forced Jun Mo Xie to proceed with his plan ahead of schedule!
Although he still had some time to prepare himself, he impulsively decided to launch his plan even though it was still not ready for the execution phase!
Perhaps this plan was the reason why Jun Mo Xie was prepared to boldly go up against the Xue Hun Manor!
Of course, executing the plan at this stage would mean that the chances of success would be very less, but Jun Mo Xie decided to try anyway; because it was now or never. In case his plan didnāt work as intended, then the Xue Hun Manor would destroy the Jun Family anyway!
As far as Jun Mo Xie was concerned, [people die all the time, so whatās the big deal?! ]
[Damn it! Life is nothing more than just life, and thereās really no need to attach so much value to it! ]
However, the young master Jun had never imagined that his plan would actually succeed; not only was he able to attract the right number of Spirit Xuan experts, but he also managed to attract two of the āEight Great Mastersā of this world. Moreover, he was able to make them fight against each other, which was just as he had intended in his original plan. However, the biggest success that his plan had notched was; two extremely powerful King Xuan Beasts received this news, and arrived to compete for the Xuan Core.
Nevertheless, Jun Mo Xie was still looking rather gloomy right now since he had somehow managed to attract two Xuan Beasts rather than one as per his plan. Moreover, not only were these beasts more powerful than his expectation, but they were also harder to tame than he had anticipated!
As it stands, Jun Mo Xieās initial idea of tempting the Xuan Beasts into becoming his allies had already failedā¦ā¦
He was well aware that his grandfather would kick his buttocks in case he ever found out that his grandson was planning on attempting such a feat. After all, Jun Zhan Tian hadnāt yet reached the Spirit Xuan realm yet, in fact barely any of Jun Zhan Tianās followers were at par with him; let alone any higher. Even the most highly decorated and valiant generals of the Xuan Xuan continent were below the Spirit Xuan realm.
Although Jun Zhan Tian knew that such Xuan Beasts existed in the world, he also knew that they extremely difficult to find. Such beasts were already at the peak of human possibilities, and were usually considered at par with the āEight Great Mastersā. Moreover, they mostly chose to spend their lives living in secrecy; these Xuan Beasts were known to have silenced the odd Spirit Xuan expert who had ventured out in search of them, hoping to seek their companionship. Therefore, it was only natural that no one knew who they were, and where they could be found.
Another reason why Jun Mo Xie realized that his plan had failed was; Yun Bei Chen was the only man alive known to have such high-end Xuan Beasts as companions, in fact, it was rather evident now that these King Xuan Beasts had a very small, secretive and special circle, which seemed to have its own rules and regulations. This seemed to be the primary reason why even a man of Shi Chang Xiaoās caliber was unable to identify Long Craneās true identity very easily, and had seemingly decided to abandon the Xuan Core rather than chasing after these two mysterious āpoepleā.
All in all, the young master Jun had already realized a while ago that this plan of his was blindly optimistic from the beginning because he was simply aiming too high. Therefore, he had decided to adjust his plan in hope of securing the next best possibility; [if I canāt tempt them into becoming my partners, then I can at least tempt into doing just one task for me, right? Besides, they really canāt refuse the reward Iām offering. ]
However, he wasnāt expecting to run into another snag hereā¦..
[Convince you of my strength? This is sheer damn nonsense! If I had enough strength to overpower you both, then why would I need to be afraid of Li Jue Tian?! I would have already gone up to his residence, knocked his head around like a ping pong ball until that Old Manās eyes started to glitter like the stars, and then I would have stuffed his head up his own backsideā¦ā¦ ]
Jun Mo Xie was silent, depressed, and at a complete loss at the moment.
He could obviously see through Long Craneās plan. [I know heās just trying to see if I can beat him and his brother since it would mean that Iām not lying and that Iām actually powerful enough to offer them what they desireā¦. As for my work, Iām sure that they can do it with easeā¦ā¦ ]
[I never expected that a Xuan Beast could have such intelligenceā¦ā¦] Jun Mo Xie was quite depressed and remained silent for a while, but then he decided that he need to take some initiative hereā¦..
āImpress you? How do you wish for me to impress you?ā Jun Mo Xie was a bit impatient at this point. [Damn this, Iām exuding the best Aura that youāve ever seen and youāre still chirping about? This is simply unbearable! ]
āWell, thatās simple; youāll have to beat us in combat!ā Big Bear opened his hairy mouth while his face exposed a sinister expression. His facial expression was so simply and honest, that Jun Mo Xie immediately realized that the Xuan Beast was quite serious about the offer.
āWhat are you saying?ā Long Crane hastily berated his younger brother: āYou just go about shouting for a fight all day long; thatās enough now!ā he looked at Jun Mo Xie and thought, [my brother simply doesnāt know this guyās strengthā¦. In case this guy is actually as strong as Yun Bei Chen, then wouldnāt we also end up something like the second brother? ]
[And what if the two of us werenāt able to escape away like the second brother didā¦.. Wouldnāt we end up dead after the boss finds out? If heās strong enough, then heāll kill us, else the boss willā¦. either way weāll die! ]
āWeāre all masters here, so letās not follow the usual way of the world. Weāll play three games to determine the winner and the loser.ā Long Crane stretched out three finger for Jun Mo Xie to see clearly: āWinning two out of these three tests will mark the winner; if you win then weāll promise to do that one thing for you; however, if we win, we still get our reward!ā
āThatās right; even if you lose, weāll still get our reward! Even though we wonāt be helping you with your task!ā Big Bear repeated the final sentence.
āThat is to say, you get your reward irrespective of whether I win or lose?ā Jun Mo Xie glared back at them with disbelief in his eyes: āBig Bear, you really donāt have a knack for doing business, do you? You canāt always make a profit if your business partner is making a loss!ā
In reality, Jun Mo Xie had already agreed to this term. He knew that it was all in or nothing for him; although he was never likely to admit this in front of these two āPeopleāā¦ā¦
However, he first needed to try and maximize his chances of making a profitable transactionā¦ā¦
A thick stench filled the atmosphere as Big Bear opened his big mouth and then stuck out his big red tongue, while his eyes continued to watch Jun Mo Xie. Then, he slowly licked the corner of his mouth as he raised his thumb and said: āHa haā¦.. then why donāt you just wait around and keep searching until you find someone with our talent? You need us more than we need you!ā
Jun Mo Xie glared back at him, [these two arenāt as stupid as I thoughtā¦.. ah I guess theyāve realized my position now! Itās a good thing that I only want this one task from them, else they would have become a major problem for me in the future! ]
Long Crane seemed rather embarrassed by his younger brotherās shameless words, and said: āIf you have any objections, then we can change the system a bit; but if you want us to obey you without you proving yourself first, then you can forget about it!ā
āWho said that you would have to obey me? Iām offering you a good deal in return for a service; thatās called a fair deal!ā Jun Mo Xie waved his hand in frustration: āBut since weāre going to do some tests, then why should you get to decide the themes of these tests? For the sake of fairness, the first proposition must be set by me, and then you can set the next one; in case we need a third test, then weāll figure that part out after the second result, okay?ā
āGood! Then tell us what the first test is?ā Long Crane and Big Bear discussed this idea for a while, and then readily agreed. As far as they were concerned, [given our combined strengths, how could we possibly lose to him, ah? ]
āI will do an action, and if either of you is able to replicate it, then I will concede my defeat.ā Jun Mo Xie thought for a while, and stated his desire as his lips curved into a cunning smile.
āGood!ā they both seemed very confident since the two of them were almost at the peak of their realm, and their bodies could be stretched to almost any extent. Long Crane simply couldnāt help rejoicing his victory early; [forget about normal actions, I can even twist my neck in a knot! What could possibly be more difficult than that, ah? ]
āLetās go then.ā Jun Mo Xie started his game, and the two of them were left staring blankly at him.
The strangest thing was happening right in front of their eyes: Jun Mo Xieās feet were slowly sinking into the ground, and then his legs, his waistā¦.. and then his entire body. However, the most magical thing was that the ground was still as flat as beforeā¦ there was no hole in it!
An entire humanās body had disappeared into the ground in front of these two āPeopleā.
A moment later, Jun Mo Xieās head started popping out of the ground about three meters away from his initial position, which was followed by his torso, his abdomen, waist, legsā¦ā¦
Jun Mo Xieās body had no traces of water on it, nor was his clothing stained by the mud and soil!
[Howās this even possible? ]
Long Crane and Big Bearās eyes were glued to Jun Mo Xieās body in disbelief and it seemed as if they would simply pop out of their sockets, while their throats were unable to swallow down the saliva under the effect of the shocking scene they had just witnessed.
They suddenly remembered that Jun Mo Xie had emerged from this very spot, and figured that it was probably a trick. Hence, they immediately ran over the point where Jun Mo Xie had initially been standing and ābangā, they punched the ground hard and sent the water splashing in all directions. They lowered their heads to observe and inspect the ground below, but only to realize that there was no trick involved in this stuntā¦ā¦
The two of them wracked their brains for a long time and finally reached a conclusion; [This was legitimate; the other man didnāt cheat us! ]

[However, this means that heās simply unbelievable, right? ]
[Is this guy even human? ]
These two Xuan Beasts simply wouldnāt have believed that such a feat was ever possible; however, they had witnessed it with their own eyes just moments ago!
āNow itās your turn.ā Jun Mo Xieās voice seemed very modest, and very humble: āThis was just a small piece of skill, and even if one of you can imitate it, then I will concede this round.ā
They looked at each other for a long while before Big Bear reluctantly opened his mouth and muttered: āWe cannot do this; we concede.ā
