When the rebellion has just started.
Upon killing the Martial Lord Leopard and staying at Endless Mountain for a month, Ren Qingquan decided to return back to the Martial Spirit Sect.
Ren Qingquan soon arrived at the sect after using his Agile Step at full power while also imbuing some spirit qi, which is a new way to use spirit qi he found while experimenting with it by learning from system's Armaments Transformation that enveloped his body part with spirit qi.
After selling the ferocious beast hearts and other gains at Exchange Hall, Ren Qingquan chose to go back toward Formation Peak as their next meeting will soon be held.
Entering the Formation Peak's meeting place, Ren Qingquan could only see three people sitting while reading or lazing around on their back while staring at nothing. With that, Ren Qingquan followed them and opened his novels to waste time while waiting for the meeting to start.
After half an hour, Except for the senior brother that is taking the job to supervise the sec's new business's main branch and might not return for another month. The other 8 people including Ren Qingquan have gathered.
"When I attended the sect's meeting just now, I heard there is a rebellion happening at Azure Empire right now."
While talking about that topic, Peak Master Fen glanced at Ren Qingquan, Third uncle, and another elder at Martial Saint Realm.
"If you are concerned about your family, you should return first to your family. I could help you get a two or three month leave for absence from the sect. Of course during your leave, you wouldn't get any resources from the sect."
Peak Master Fen glanced at the three of them while waiting for responses. Third Uncle is the first to answer him.
"Thank you for the Peak Master's advice, but I am confident in my Ren Family's safety."
"I also thank Peak Master for your concern, but this one no longer has any family and so has no concern."
Hearing the answer from the other two, Ren Qingquan started to think about a possibility.
Although Peak Master Fen's words might seem to be said out of concern. But, it might actually be a secret attack to make others owe him a favor so he could avoid some sect mission by calling that favor.
Don't think Ren Qingquan is just over thinking it. From the glance and a small head shake he got from his uncle, his guess seems to be almost certain.
Anyway the people he cares about (his dad and Xiao Ling) are at Martial Lord and above. If they couldn't handle whatever problem it is, him coming over will just increase their burden.
So, Ren Qingquan also thanked Peak Master Fen's concern and declined his offer.
After seeing all the people decline him, Peak Master Fen seems a bit disappointed.
"Well, let's continue with our resources distribution session then."
Peak Master Fen took several containers and shared them between everyone in the room.
Looking inside the container, it contained another set of Blood Energy Pills just like last month. Keeping his container, Ren Qingquan just watched the next session where Peak Master Fen tried to make others take his position until noon where everyone left.
Ren Qingquan followed his usual habit of resting and lazing around for a day and the next day, he went out to Endless Mountain once again.
This time, he wished to enter the core of Endless Mountain and experiment with the limit of Sun Light Beam by attacking a Martial Emperor ferocious beast.
And so, Ren Qingquan quickly ran toward the core of Endless Mountain. After spending 15 days traveling around while devouring mountains to the core area, he finally detected a Martial Emperor ferocious beast. Purchasing 1 000 points worth of Sun Light in preparation for his beam attack, Ren Qingquan ran toward that ferocious beast's location.
Although he already prepared himself mentally after using [Scan] on it through the system map, seeing the ferocious beasts of the Martial Emperor with his own eye still make him feel speechless.
While still quite far away from the Martial Emperor beast, Ren Qingquan could already see its silhouette, which is an extremely huge rabbit sitting in a plain while chewing on some trees. That rabbit is incredibly huge, even Ren Qingquan who is currently running toward it is merely twice as tall as its paw.
Seemingly sensing Ren Qingquan, the rabbit stopped gnawing on that gigantic tree and started jumping toward him.
Seeing that, Ren Qingquan activated Agile Step just like his whole life depends on it
*BOOM*
At the location it landed, a huge dust cloud was created. Soon, it started swatting its front paw rapidly.

*BOOM* *BOOM*
'System, quickly release the sun light'
Following Ren Qingquan's command, a beam of light rapidly arrived at the rabbit. Seeing that light, the rabbit just continued its rapid random swatting attack.
*Hisss*
Accompanied by a burning sound, the light beam landed on its fur and caused some burn. Sensing a burning feeling, the rabbit squealed and started to roll.
Seeing the 1000 Point Sun light merely caused a burn and perhaps cooked its meat, because Ren Qingquan could smell some cooked meat from his current location.
Ren Qingquan continued to purchase more light. This time, he is purchasing 2 000 point's worth of sunlight.
Releasing the light toward that rabbit, the sunlight merely pierced through its stomach and missed its vital point due to the intense movement it make. Although the light pierced throught it but, compared to the Rabbit's size, that beam is merely a needle prick.
'System, purchase 10 000 points of sunlight. This time, turn it as wide as possible while retaining the ability to pierce that rabbit. Also, please focus and hit it right at the brain.'
[Ding! Spent 10 000 points to purchase sunlight. Also host, the previous mistake is caused due to the lack of upgrade in the system's calculate function. Please upgrade it to increase calculation ability. Just like 'Devour' there is no fixed price for calculation. The more point the stronger it will be. ]
'Then, I spent 10 000 points to upgrade [Calculate]. Quick! That rabbit is starting to glare at me!'
[Ding! Calculate has been upgraded. ]
'Release the sunlight!'
With that, a waist thick light beam got released toward the place that the rabbit is going to evade.
*Hisss*
Accompanied by a sizzling sound and smell of burnt meat, that gigantic rabbit finally got pierced on the head.
Finally killing a Martial Emperor even though he used some cheat, Ren Qingquan felt proud.
After making sure that rabbit had really died, he activated [Devour] and swallowed its whole corpse including the heart. Afterall, this heart could not be sold by him.
If he shows the ability to use spirit qi to others, they might think it is possible for him to kill some Martial Lord ferocious beasts using terrain advantage and traps. But, a Pseudo Martial Saint killing a Martial Emperor is utterly impossible due to Martial Emperor's ability to take and use natural energy from the world.
Just like how that rabbit turns bigger and bigger after absorbing natural energy, other Martial Emperors could also do superhuman feats like generating wind blades with a wave of their sword by using natural energy. Which makes them reach a leap in combat power and life level.
After devouring the Rabbit, he found out that the total point he got merely increased by 4 000 points which is a bloody loss compared to the 13 000 points he spent on sunlight, plus the 10 000 points spent to upgrade the system's calculation.
'Well, whatever. I have finally fulfilled my craving to fight against Martial Emperor. Next, I will just focus on swallowing the mountain to offset my spending.'
Ren Qingquan continued to use [Devour] on other mountains while slowly leaving the core area of Endless Mountain which contained Martial Emperor beasts.
Unbeknownst to him, during his fight against the Martial Emperor rabbit, his second light beam has pierced through several trees and bushes at the mountain behind the rabbit Martial Emperor, making them burn. Soon, supported by the windy situation and the mostly dry branches due to long exposure to sun. It will cause a massive fire at the core of Endless Mountains.
Ren Qingquan who is currently busy devouring mountain amidst his ignorance of the future calamity he will cause, soon already spent a whole month in the Endless Mountains and decided to return after checking his gain.
'Open personal panel.'
[Name: Ren Qingquan

Point: 61 300
Profession: Formation master (Extremely Weak.) Note: Please don't call yourself a formation master in front of others with your current skill.
Technique: Body Tempering (Martial Saint)

System function: Devour, Shop, Scan, Library, Map (1000 meters radius), Calculate, System Storage (100 cubic meters).]
With a satisfied feeling, he returned to the Martial Spirit Sect.
Upon entering the sect, he could feel the situation there seemed to be quite tense and most disciples wore a concerned face.
As Ren Qingquan went to the exchange hall to trade the ferocious beast hearts for sect coins, He heard people around him talking about how the beasts in Endless Mountain are getting uneasy. Listening to those gossips, Ren Qingquan somehow gets a guilty feeling out of nowhere.
Using his accumulated sect coin to purchase some metals for his spiked metal plate, he went back to the Formation Peak and entered its meeting room.
Because that senior brother hasn't finished his mission leaving only 8 people in the Formation Peak. When all 7 members other than the Peak Master gathered, Peak Master Fen finally entered with a languid aura and pale face.
"Sigh... Let's make today's meeting end quickly. I will just announce that recently the ferocious beasts in Endless Mountain have been getting restless. Every peak is required to send some elders at Martial Saint realm to investigate the cause of their restlessness. Otherwise, there might be a beast tide soon. "
After taking a deep breath, Peak Master Fen continued while focusing his eye on two male elders.
"Our Formation Peak is requested to send 2 elders. As the both of you are the next in line to handle the sect task in our Formation Peak, then I hope the both of you will gather with the elders from another peak tomorrow morning in the sect's Central Peak."
Hearing that, the two elders just nodded and accepted their fate.
"Next, we will start the resource distribution and then everyone could disperse."
After getting his quota of blood energy pills, Ren Qingquan left together with the others.
While leaving, the Third Uncle called him.
"Don't leave the sect this month. "
"Okay."
Although his uncle doesn't give any reason as to why he shouldn't leave. But, from the previous meeting it seems the third uncle is also concerned about the beast tide.
While Ren Qingquan is lazing around, time soon passes and tomorrow arrives. Joining the other members of Formation Peak to send off those two elders who joined the investigation mission, Ren Qingquan waved at them as they went to the Central Peak.
The next two weeks pass in peace with Ren Qingquan staying in his room like lazy people with no life. Well, actually that description is right as currently he just lays in his room reading novels while doing nothing except for bathing, eating and answering the call of nature.
But as the saying goes, there is no banquet without end. Because, 15 days after the two elders left, Peak Master Fen asked every member to gather toward Formation Peak's meeting hall.

Consciousness Space
When I am busy doing some experiment, Ren Qingquan actually frickin went to Endless Mountain's core area and seek death against Martial Emperor ferocious beasts!
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Even a toddler have sharper sense of danger than him!
I seriously thought about letting him lose a limb or two for some time if the fight goes wrong to teach him some lessons.
What a pity that nothing went wrong.
Hmph. At least I got 10.000 energy from his purchase of [Calculate] in exchange for handling this nonsense.
