Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Embarrassed Dragon Jade Pool, the Ancestral Dragon Nest Elder’s Fury, and Thanks to Ji Xuan, the Treasure-Seeking Rat

Originally, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t have much animosity towards Ji Xuan.

Although Ji Xuan had some minor conflicts with Jun Zhangjian, none of them were significant.

At most, Jun Xiaoyao would snatch some opportunities from Ji Xuan, grab his Saint King’s hand bone, and that would be it.

None of these were major issues.

But now, Ji Xuan not only threatened him,

he also put Jun Xuehuang in danger.

Jun Xiaoyao is not a saint and would not bind himself with the vulgar notions of good and evil.

If with such a background, talent, and strength, he still needed to be shackled, he might as well go to Little Western Heaven to become a monk.

Every day chanting Great Mighty Celestial Dragon, World Honored One Ksitigarbha with that group of monks.

Jun Xiaoyao’s doctrine is: those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!

”Let’s go, I’m curious to see what waves Ji Xuan can make.” Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Upon hearing his laugh, Jun Xuehuang and the others expressed sympathy for Ji Xuan in their hearts.

...

Just as Jun Xiaoyao and others headed to the deepest part of the Secret Treasure seeking Ji Xuan.

Outside the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure, above the Taixu Forest.

Elders from several immortal influences still sat in the void.

”Unexpectedly, the gray fog inside the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure, along with its special field, has actually blocked the Celestial Observation Mirror’s detection.” Elder from the Jiang Family slightly shook his head.

”We underestimated this Venerable Secret Treasure, though I think there’s no need for the Celestial Observation Mirror anymore.” Jun Zhantian said.

All of these immortal Daoist inheritors entering the Secret Treasure possess protective treasures or Great Shifting Talismans.

So even without the constant watch from us guardians, I suppose they won’t be in life-threatening danger.

”Haha, Jun Zhantian, are you worried about your Jun Family’s Divine Son? If he falls in the Secret Treasure, it would be an irreparable loss for the Jun Family.” The elder from the Azure Dragon Lineage of the Ancestral Dragon Nest said with a sneer.

”Humph, rest assured, even if you die, my grandson will live well.” Jun Zhantian retorted coldly.

He believed that this level of Secret Treasure poses no mortal threat to Jun Xiaoyao.

At worst, he still has the Guardian Divine Talisman bestowed by the Eighteenth Ancestor, ensuring his safety.

”Heh, just hope your Divine Son isn’t overly punished by our Dragon Maiden.” The Azure Dragon Lineage elder chuckled, sarcastic.

He had great confidence in Dragon Jade Pool.

After all, she had fully refined two Dragon Essences, a power far surpassing Long Haotian.

However, just as the Azure Dragon Lineage elder’s laughter faded.

A figure rushed out from the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure.

That figure, clad in cracked cyan armor, riddled with fissures, disheveled hair, blood-stained lips, was in utter disarray.

Who else could it be but Dragon Jade Pool?

In this moment, Dragon Jade Pool’s eyes still held a trace of fear, slender body shivered slightly.

Facing Jun Xiaoyao, she was truly frightened.

Had she been any slower, the outcome might have been different; even survival wasn’t guaranteed.

”Eh, that’s the Dragon Maiden of the Azure Dragon Lineage, why has she emerged so rapidly?”

”Indeed, and in such disarray, did she encounter some dreadful entity, or did the corpse of that Supreme Venerable revive?”

At this moment, outside the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure, thousands have gathered.

Bound by age and seniority, they were not permitted to enter, thus could only watch the excitement.

Seeing Dragon Jade Pool flee so frantically, many were astonished, assuming she had faced some dire entity.

In the void, the Azure Dragon Lineage elder’s mocking smile stiffened, his expression growing unnatural.

How had their Dragon Maiden fled so quickly?

And so embarrassed, clearly being chased out.

”Haha, green-skinned eel, keep laughing, why stop now?” Jun Zhantian laughed heartily, immensely pleased.

The Azure Dragon Lineage elder turned green, silent, diving beside Dragon Jade Pool.

”Jade Pool, what’s going on, where’s the Dragon Bone?” The elder asked urgently.

Everything else was trivial, the Dragon Bone was their goal.

”Gone, the four Ancient Dragon Bones and the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone are all gone...” Dragon Jade Pool bit her lip, face pale.

”What, even the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone?” The Azure Dragon Lineage elder nearly fainted.

That was a Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone; there weren’t many in stock within the entire Ancestral Dragon Nest.

Gone just like that!

”Who took it, who exactly?” The Azure Dragon Lineage elder asked harshly, teeth grinding, unable to stay composed.

”Jun... Jun Xiaoyao...” Dragon Jade Pool replied, her body shivering slightly.

Merely mentioning the name invoked a primal fear.

Though Xiao Chen and others were present, Dragon Jade Pool knew they were merely playthings in Jun Xiaoyao’s palm.

”What, him?” The Azure Dragon Lineage elder’s expression froze.

He had just hoped Jun Xiaoyao wouldn’t be too harshly punished by Dragon Jade Pool.

Now the punishment was indeed harsh, but it was Dragon Jade Pool who suffered!

Such a swift reversal, no chance to breathe.

”He really was chased out by the Jun Family’s Divine Son, no wonder...”

”Indeed, Long Haotian also fell by the Jun Family’s Divine Son’s hand, Dragon Jade Pool was lucky to escape alive.”

Many cultivators nearby overheard Dragon Jade Pool’s words.

While surprised, they were not shocked.

It seemed the Jun Family’s Divine Son was already a symbol of invincibility among the young generation.

”How about it, green-skinned eel, do you admit defeat?” Jun Zhantian gloated.

His treasured grandson had brought him immense pride.

The Azure Dragon Lineage elder nearly burst a vessel, speechless.

He knew reclaiming the Dragon Bone from the Jun Family was as difficult as ascending the heavens.

”I’m sorry, elder, I disappointed you.” Dragon Jade Pool looked despondent, devoid of prior splendor and vigor.

She dared not confess being defeated by Jun Xiaoyao with a single move, driven out in fear.

Uttering that would bring disgrace to the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

In the sky, Ji Family elder Ji Bangyin shook his head, ”Seems the Dragon Maiden from the Azure Dragon Lineage is just so-so.”

”Ji Bangyin, you’d better pray your Ji Family’s member doesn’t clash with my grandson, otherwise, tsk tsk...” Jun Zhantian shook his head.

”Jun Zhantian, do you truly think the Dragon Maiden compares to Ji Xuan? He came prepared; if they clash, it should be your Jun Family’s Divine Son who worries.”

Ji Bangyin smiled calmly, a confidence stemming from deep within.

”Oh?”

Even Jun Zhantian cast a suspicious glance at Ji Bangyin.

Could it be, this time, Ji Family’s Little Saint may truly stir up a storm?

Meanwhile, outside, discussions over Dragon Jade Pool persist.

In the depths of the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure, a well-dressed Ji Xuan, holding an Ancient Talisman, finally reached the deepest part.

He gazed ahead, an ancient, majestic, and timeworn Divine Tower stood as a pillar reaching the heavens!

”The final grand opportunity lies here!”

Ji Xuan’s eyes gleamed with delight.

After much scheming, he could finally grasp the grand opportunity.

Yet just then, a detached, playful voice rang from behind.

”Ji Xuan, thank you for leading the way, dear Treasure-Seeking Rat...”
