"Not good. Where did the road lead me?" Zhang Wu Ji terrible direction senses finally successful in leading him to somewhere else again. At this moment, he's reaching the location where he can enter the Outer Area of the King's Graveyard, but luckily, there are guards by the entrance.

"First Seat Disciple Zhang! Are you on the way into the King's Graveyard?" one of the guards greets him.

"Oh, I'm not, I am taking a walk to relax my mind." Zhang Wu Ji returned their greetings and swayed to another direction, where it leads him to somewhere else.

"Hey! A bridge! where will it takes me to?" Zhang Wu Ji steps into a well-built bridge that can support the pressure from thousand tonnes of weights. Unknown to him, this way actually leads him to the Second Heaven Mountain.

Along his way, Zhang Wu Ji walks past few dozens of disciples and businessman. While he knows nobody, a portion of the people knows who he is. Only when he reaches the entrance to the Second Heaven Mountain Zhang Wu Ji noticed the Arched Gate at the end of the other side.

"I'm at Second Heaven Mountain." Zhang Wu Ji finally knows where he went. But before he can react, ten guards already came forth with their strength between 16th to 17th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior and attacked Zhang Wu Ji.

"First Heaven Mountain's First Seat, Zhang Wu Ji is at the Second Heaven Mountain!"

"What? Why did he go there? Don't tell me he's going to force his promotion by challenging the Second Stage Mountain Formation?"

"Big news! First Seat Zhang Wu Ji is challenging the Second Stage Mountain Formation!"

"Everyone! Quickly go to the Second Heaven Mountain! There's a fight happening!"

While he's under the attack from the guards, the news of his ignorance spreads across the whole First Heaven Mountain.

.

.

.

"Back off!" the guards warned him. But attack came along with their words, which annoyed Zhang Wu Ji and his mild temperament. He stood there without moving a step, and instead, channels all his energy to defend the attack.

"TANG TANG TANG!" the first three attacks failed to break through his 2,200 points worth of defense. At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji can be named as the strongest Body-Tempering Cultivator of the First Heaven Mountain.

"How can his defense reach this level!" the first three guards retreated, but the remaining seven of them is still surrounding Zhang Wu Ji.

"Nine Meter Travelling Fist!" Zhang Wu Ji's attack covered every corner nine meters from him. Without a hint of where his attack came from, the seven guards are all pummeled into a piece of bruised flesh. They retreated, with the three guards behind them providing a cover.

But at this time, Zhang Wu Ji flicked a drop of Natural Spring in the middle about fifteen steps from the guards. With a different finger, Zhang Wu Ji flicked a drop of water and caused a massive explosion.

His method is unexpected. And without a hint of difficulties, he easily trashed the ten guards five stages to six stages stronger than him.

The audience was silent, with each of them anticipating another fight to start. And at that moment, two pillars of light flashed. Following this scene is two Scaled Serpents soaring to the top of the sky.

"HONG!" the two Scaled Serpents charged at him from the air with the strength of 18th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior, the two Wild Beast attacked furiously to protect their territories from invasion.

"Tyrant Martial Body!" Zhang Wu Ji opened his eyes wider as he activates his bloodline strength. In a flash without taking any action, Zhang Wu Ji's oppressing force destroys the two Wild Beast with a hint of Dragon True Race Bloodline.

They're now as obedient as a dog before him.

"WHAT?"

"Did he enslave the two Scaled Serpent without a single punch?"

"What is this kind of power?"

The noise came from all over the place. Without taking a single step forward, Zhang Wu Ji destroyed both ten guards challenge and Second Stage Mountain Formation.

But he did not know, that due to this Mountain Formation, the two Scaled Serpent are indestructible. Their only weaknesses are the soul, where it was enslaved by him with a glance.

"That kid's Martial Body is that strong?" even Heaven King was surprised by his sudden changes. Without taking a single step forward, Zhang Wu Ji defeated the two layer of defenses with a fist stance, a drop of volatile essence, and a glance.

"Is this what they call nature of life?" Heaven King smiled as he continues to come out with a trick that will make Zhang Wu Ji gives him his Iron Kong-Que.

If the Heaven King knows that Zhang Wu Ji is capable of crafting the Iron Kong-Que as long he got enough resources, what will he think?

Back to Zhang Wu Ji...

The moment he defeated and enslaved the two Scaled Serpents, it meant he's qualified to become a member of the Second Heaven Mountain. But as a winner of the Second Stage Mountain Formation, Zhang Wu Ji was no longer placed inside the first row of Seeded Disciples!

A flash came from the Second Mountain Elder's Nameplate and adjusted the information written on both sides of the plate.

[Second Heaven Mountain's Core Head Disciple]

|

[Zhang Wu Ji]

|

[Entrance through Second Stage Mountain Challenge]

|

[Mission Exampted]

"Wah! That's a good perk!" Zhang Wu Ji laughed in his heart as he read the new line of words. Following from that, he was directed to the Second Heaven Elder's office to be briefed with the requirement and duties of a Head Disciple.

But...

The best thing he ever heard for the whole day is the Monthly provision he's entitled.

50,000 Qi Accumulating Pills.

The sheer amount as a head disciple's provision shocked him. But what comes next drag him back to the ground.

"Do you understand?" the Second Mountain Elder asked.

"What? From this moment I must challenge the Mountain Formation to raise my rank?" Zhang Wu Ji almost fainted as he heard about this requirement.

As a top disciple, he'll have to be challenged like one. Except for winning the Mountain Formation Challenge, it will be impossible for him to promotes into the next mountain.

.

.

.

"I'm the head disciple now?" Zhang Wu Ji is still puzzled with what had happened. In the time of two days, his belonging was moved from the First Heaven Mountain into the Second Heaven Mountain.

As the Head Disciple's position is different from the others, the Second Mountain Elder arranged him to be given a private residence on the higher grounds with a total of fifteen rooms and six workshops.

He even has his own Immersion Pond, a well-engraved Formation Array Pond that absorbs the Natural Energy within the ground to be condensed inside of the pond. By cultivating inside this Immersion Pond, his cultivation is expected to be three times faster.

Furthermore, the fifteen rooms residence is not allocated to the servants, because they have their own accommodation inside a side tower of five floors tall.

After all the headache briefing is over, Zhang Wu Ji returned to his new home. By entering seclusion immediately, Zhang Wu Ji immerses himself with cultivation, Pill Forging, and Blacksmithing without wasting his time.

As for anything else like purchasing for the Raw Materials for his profession, it was now sent personally to him instead of requiring him to pay a visit. A Head Disciple has his perks, and one of them are related to the right of borrowing books without limit.

He cultivates without stopping in between for half a month before he came out for a breath of fresh air. On the starting of his fourth week inside the Seven Heaven Sect, Zhang Wu Ji received his first guest.

Liu Xin Xin appeared waiting for him in the Residence's Main Hall, where she can't wait to see the Residence Owner. As Zhang Wu Ji is already a Head Disciple, his clothing is slightly different from the others.

"Junior Liu Xin Xin greets Head Disciple Zhang Wu Ji." as a junior now, Liu Xin Xin has to greet him whenever she sees the latter. This is the most basic requirement of a disciple within the sect.

At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji is no longer a cultivator of 12th Stage, but 13th Stage with a cultivation strength of 255 Strands of Warrior Qi. His Qingyang Fortress Body is now at 2,800 defense point, a little above the requirement to resist 15% of any knockback effect.

Unless his opponent is excelled in Physical Strength, it will be challenging to move Zhang Wu Ji from where he stands. But the best effect from this achievement is, of course, the incomparable Physical Strength that maybe not even the ten seeded disciples from Third Heaven Mountain can match.

"How is the Liu's Foundry and Mansion's decision?" Zhang Wu Ji cannot help but felt curious about the choice her family will make. Although Zhang Wu Ji already expressed his unwillingness to visit their family, he did not reject their request to provide them with a copy of the blueprint for the Iron Alloy Dual-Headed Pickaxe.

"After some discussion with the upper echelons of the Liu's Family, my father, the patriarch, agrees to exchange the blueprint with 200,000 Qi Accumulating Pills, a hundred of seeds for three different kinds of Medicinal Plants, fifty records of Cultivation, Martial Art, or profession Manuals." Liu Xin Xin stated her family's offer to purchase the Iron Alloy Dual-Headed Pickaxe's blueprint.

Trying hard to hide his emotion, Zhang Wu Ji calmly agreed with her family's offer. As a bonus, Zhang Wu Ji tosses the Wooden Universal Plate with the blueprint of the Pickaxe inside and waits for his portion of the wealth.

"Head Disciple Zhang, please check the content within this Spatial Ring." Liu Xin Xin extends her hand out for him to access inside the ring, but Zhang Wu Ji kept the Spatial Ring without prior checking.

"It's fine. As for the Vein Listener Art, I hope you can keep it as a secret." Zhang Wu Ji took a Manual out from his Spatial Ring and placed it on the table. After giving her a smile, he left and returned to his room where the Immersion Pool is located.

Immediately, Zhang Wu Ji entered the System Realm.

The moment he entered, the scene where Sheng is devouring the Qi Accumulating Pills shocked him. The reason Zhang Wu Ji did not bother to check its content is that the moment he touches the Spatial Ring, everything within its content will start to pour into his System Realm.

After devouring the hundred thousand Qi Accumulating Pills, the System Realm is now clouded with a dense mist of Natural Energy again. Although it was only half a day has gone, the symptom that happened once the realm is started to lose Natural Energy quickly withers.

[Master. You owe me 9,951 upgrades]

Sheng reminds him of his another task.

Instead of answering her verbally, Zhang Wu Ji nodded his head as an acknowledgment. He then turned his attention to the Silver Carapace Bees, wherein the space of fifteen days, their number increases from two elites into two hundred Silver Carapace Bees in their Warrior-Tier Strength!

At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji's total production of Warrior Qi Nectar Grain is between twenty blocks or roughly 2 kilograms every month. It wasn't a lot but based on the amount of Natural Energy within this realm, it was considered a good result.

Unless he's capable of increasing the amount of Natural Energy within this System Realm twofold, it will be difficult for him to support the numbers of Silver Carapace Bees within his System Realm.

After Zhang Wu Ji is done with his prior inspection, he turned to Sheng again for his next batch of 100 Advance-Grade Blood Lotus, 100 Sun-Facing Fruit with their seeds taken out, and a weird fruit grown by the Mutated Seed.

He did not ask too much and left the realm, impatient of checking about what he can with that weird fruit.
