Sacred Body of the Immortals

The Divine Lady of the Ji family was undoubtedly a mysterious and exceptional talent from the heavens.

She kept a low profile, never showing off or drawing attention to herself.

Not just the outside world, but even within the Ji family, more than half of its members had never seen Ji Qingyi or knew what she looked like.

But this did nothing to diminish Ji Qingyi's reputation.

Because she wasn't just the Divine Lady of the Ji family, but also the Holy Maiden of the Human Immortal Sect!

The Human Immortal Sect was an incredibly powerful and ancient supreme sect in the Desolate Celestial Domain, with profound foundations and distant heritage.

Legend had it that the Human Immortal Sect was an immortal legacy established by the Remnant Immortal, containing various heaven-defying inheritances.

As the Holy Maiden of the Human Immortal Sect, Ji Qingyi had witnessed the Remnant Immortal's inscriptions and practiced many of the sect's great divine abilities.

Though she rarely displayed her power, no one questioned her strength.

Now, right after Jun Xiaoyao announced his intention to go to the Heaven's Path Tower, Ji Qingyi also declared she would go there.

This couldn't help but raise suspicions.

"Could it be that the Ji family's Divine Lady wants to settle accounts with the Jun family's Divine Son for Ji Xuan?"

Many people speculated.

Ji Qingyi's journey to the Heaven's Path Tower might be partly for its opportunities.

But another reason could be to restore face for Ji Xuan of their family.

While the entire celestial realm was stirring because of the Heaven's Path Tower...

In Hong Province, at the Huntian Mountain Range.

Compared to its previous bustling state, the Huntian Mountain Range was now clearly deserted, with far fewer people.

Because everyone knew that the Jun family's Divine Son couldn't be bothered to accept the challenge and wouldn't come.

With no good show to watch, naturally there were no spectators.

"How dare that human brat show such contempt for Her Highness the Princess!"

Inside the Dragon Palace, the four Dragon Generals were furious, their eyes blazing with murderous intent.

If it weren't for Jun Xiaoyao's special identity and powerful background, they would have captured him long ago.

Xiao Chen's face was also very unsightly.

He had originally thought he would soon see Jun Xiaoyao's demise.

Who would have thought Jun Xiaoyao would pull such a move?

However, Princess Long Ji, seated on her golden throne and wrapped in radiant light, maintained a perfectly calm expression on her peerless face.

"Those who are most insecure tend to create such spectacles. His actions only prove his fear of me," Princess Long Ji said in a cold, detached voice.

"Then what should we do now? Should we just let this go?" asked Xiao Chen.

"Rest assured, I won't go back on my promise to you. Currently, my power is far from its peak as I'm still harmonizing with the world's energy," Princess Long Ji said.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath.

Princess Long Ji hadn't even recovered to her peak yet?

"Hmph, how would an insect like you know Her Highness's capabilities? After breaking free from her seal, her ancient energy needs time to harmonize with the world's energy before she can fully recover," the Azure Dragon General sneered at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was truly shocked.

How terrifying would Princess Long Ji's power be when she truly returned to her peak?

Thinking back now, although Jun Lingcang hadn't used his Heavy Pupils, Princess Long Ji hadn't displayed her full power either.

"Once the harmonization is complete, I will personally end that Ancient Sacred Body's life," Princess Long Ji said indifferently.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up with joy.

"Jun Xiaoyao, you ultimately can't escape your fate of destruction!" Xiao Chen revealed a cruel smile.

...

In the Jun family's Heaven Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was soaking in a spirit spring while Jun Linglong massaged his shoulders.

Jun Xiaoyao wasn't a cultivation maniac; after emerging from seclusion, he also needed time to relax.

This Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring, which he had Bai Yu'er transfer from the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, was quite comfortable to soak in.

At this moment, Jun Xuefeng's voice came from outside.

"Divine Son, Jun Lingcang has arrived."

"Oh, my cousin has finally come to see me?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

That Jun Lingcang wasn't just his cousin, but also possessed the Heavy Pupils.

Jun Xiaoyao had almost thought another story of family members killing each other for power would unfold.

But now it seemed that this cousin was actually quite upright.

He had even fought Princess Long Ji in his place earlier.

If only for this reason, he should meet with him.

Jun Xiaoyao got up, and Jun Linglong helped him change into white robes.

In a hall of the Heaven Emperor Palace.

Jun Lingcang stood there calmly.

Soon after, Jun Xiaoyao arrived.

Looking at the handsome young man before him with black cloth covering his eyes, Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He was now certain that Jun Lingcang's Heavy Pupils were indeed in a period of transformation.

Though sealed by the black cloth, the faint trace of energy that leaked out was still quite shocking.

"Cousin Lingcang, this is our first meeting, isn't it?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly, asking Jun Linglong to serve tea.

"No need, I'm just here to tell you one thing," Jun Lingcang said.

"Please, do tell," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Princess Long Ji's power is far from reaching its peak. Even if I had used my Heavy Pupils then, I likely couldn't have truly threatened her life. So I've come to warn you not to underestimate ancient prodigies," Jun Lingcang said.

"Thank you for the warning, cousin," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, but his expression remained unconcerned.

Jun Lingcang only knew how powerful Princess Long Ji was, but not how powerful he was.

Jun Lingcang paused, then said: "I will also go to the Heaven's Path Tower."

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze darkened.

These words seemed to carry a hint of rivalry.

"Heh, then I hope cousin has some gains there," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"By the way... how is... A'Jiu?" Jun Lingcang's voice became slightly unsteady.

It had been so long since he had seen A'Jiu.

It seemed that after A'Jiu refused to become his master, she never appeared before him again.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze became somewhat strange.

This tone wasn't right.

"She's fine, cousin, you..." Jun Xiaoyao trailed off.

"Cousin Xiaoyao, sometimes I truly envy you. Farewell..." Jun Lingcang let out a deep breath and left without hesitation.

He feared that if he stayed longer, his state of mind would become unstable, making him too jealous of Jun Xiaoyao.

After Jun Lingcang left, Jun Linglong came forward and told Jun Xiaoyao about the matters between Jun Lingcang and A'Jiu.

"So that's how it is, he actually desires A'Jiu?" Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless.

A'Jiu was from his father's generation.

Though peerlessly beautiful and elegant, she must be quite old.

An older woman is worth gold bricks.

An woman three thousand years older... worth three thousand gold bricks?

"Young Master, for us cultivators, age isn't an issue," Jun Linglong's eyelashes fluttered as she said softly.

She was also more than ten years older than Jun Xiaoyao.

But if Jun Xiaoyao was willing, she would definitely not refuse.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, but mumbled to himself:

"What a pity, cousin, I can only say sorry to you."

"Because what's mine will always be mine, and what isn't mine will become mine," Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint smile.

His guardian could only protect him!

...

Half a month later.

Various powers throughout the Desolate Celestial Domain began to move, all heading towards the Sacred Spirit Academy.

Because in a few days, it would be time for the Heaven's Path Tower to open.

On this day, Jun Xiaoyao mounted a nine-headed lion, followed by Jun Linglong, Jun Zhiangjian and others.

Meanwhile, Jun Lingcang also rode a qilin beast, accompanied by Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu and others.

They would set out for the Sacred Spirit Academy!
