Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Everyone with discerning eyes could sense that Jiang Shengyi’s attitude towards Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat unusual.

If not for knowing that Jiang Shengyi was Jun Xiaoyao’s aunt, some might even mistake them for Dao companions.

Because they were truly a perfect match.

Of course, whether this was the case or not, no one really cared.

After all, Jiang Shengyi was just Jun Xiaoyao’s nominal aunt.

Moreover, Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Rou, although they referred to each other as sisters, were not actually blood-related.

Jiang Rou glanced at Jiang Shengyi with slight confusion, seemingly thinking of something, with a mischievous smile hidden in her beautiful eyes.

”Could this little hoof Shengyi be setting her sights on my son?”

Jiang Luoli’s big eyes also revealed suspicion.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.

But considering Jiang Shengyi’s identity, Jiang Luoli felt this should be unlikely.

Watching some Jiang Clan members with teasing smiles in their eyes, Jiang Shengyi couldn’t help but blush.

Even her crystal-clear ears were flushed, turning red down to the roots.

Jiang Shengyi, possessing the Innate Dao Embryo, was usually as calm as a maiden, as peerlessly elegant as the Guanghan Fairy.

She had never shown such a shy expression before.

Some young men from the Jiang Family were staring straight at her.

As for Jiang Daoxu, he looked at them both and sighed slightly, saying, ”Xiaoyao, in your eyes, do you think your grandfather is such a selfish person?”

”Of course not,” Jun Xiaoyao replied.

”Rest assured, Xiaoyao, no matter what you do, your grandfather supports you. The Wang Family wants to use my life to threaten you, they can just forget it!”

Jiang Daoxu’s tone was resolute.

He would rather die himself than for Jun Xiaoyao to suffer humiliation from the Wang Family.

”That’s right, Young Master, you did nothing wrong. We all support you!”

”The Northern Wang Family is nothing; our Jiang Family fears them not!”

The surrounding Jiang Clan members all shouted loudly, in support of Jun Xiaoyao.

Seeing this scene, even someone as aloof as Jun Xiaoyao felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

It was only his first visit to the Jiang Family, yet they supported and trusted him so much.

How could Jun Xiaoyao let down his maternal family?

He took a deep breath and asked, ”Is it really impossible to find the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass?”

Jiang Daoxu’s life was something Jun Xiaoyao was determined to save.

If all else failed.

Even if it meant leveraging the Jun Family’s power to force the Wang Family to hand over the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass, he would.

Of course, this would be an extreme measure.

Until the last moment, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn’t resort to this.

Jiang Daoxu likely wouldn’t agree for the Jun Family to clash with the Northern Wang Family because of him.

After all, the Jun Family already had enough enemies.

If they added the Northern Wang Family, the pressure would only increase.

At this time, Hua Yuanxiu’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke, ”I once heard that the last known information about the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass seemed to have come from the Ancient Burial Land.”

”The Wang Family’s Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass, it seems, was also acquired by chance from the Ancient Burial Land.”

Hua Yuanxiu’s words caused some Jiang Family members present to subtly change their expressions.

The Ancient Burial Land, what kind of place was that, an absolute forbidden land.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare even to mention it, fearing some calamity from the unknown.

”Hmm?” Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Hua Yuanxiu.

Previously slapped down like a dog by Jun Xiaoyao, Hua Yuanxiu should harbor extreme hatred for him.

Yet now, he was even providing information.

This made Jun Xiaoyao’s thoughts flash with the notion that Hua Yuanxiu might have ulterior motives.

Nevertheless, Jun Xiaoyao still sought confirmation from the Jiang Clan Elders.

”Indeed, there were once rumors about the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass coming from the Ancient Burial Land, but it wasn’t confirmed to be true,” a Jiang Clan Elder confirmed.

In this matter, Hua Yuanxiu wasn’t lying.

”Then why not search the Ancient Burial Land?” Jun Xiaoyao asked in confusion.

If the Jiang Family knew of information about the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass, they should have investigated, striving to obtain it.

Yet the Jiang Family hadn’t sent anyone to the Ancient Burial Land.

”The Young Master might not know, but the Ancient Burial Land is a forbidden zone, not within the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm’s Three Thousand Dao Realms. It contains peculiarities and terrible dangers, unfathomably deep,” a Jiang Clan Elder explained helplessly.

Only then did Jun Xiaoyao understand.

The Ancient Burial Land was likely similar to the Seven Great Wonders of the Immortal Realm he had heard about before.

They all represented significant karma, extreme strangeness, and great terror.

Absolutely not places ordinary people could venture into.

A Jiang Clan Elder continued to explain to Jun Xiaoyao.

It turned out that if an expert with high cultivation entered the Ancient Burial Land, they would attract the attention of terrifying Burial Soil Creatures, like a bright lamp in the darkness, too conspicuous and unable to proceed.

While those with weaker cultivation, even if they could approach the Ancient Burial Land, could hardly venture deep because they simply didn’t have the power to survive.

So over time, few beings in the Immortal Realm dared to venture into the Ancient Burial Land.

Plus, there were many eerie legends and mysterious Burial Soil Creatures within the Ancient Burial Land.

That region had also become a taboo land where ordinary people refrained from entering.

After hearing all this, Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why the Jiang Family found it difficult to delve into the Ancient Burial Land.

”Since those with high cultivation can’t enter deeply and those with weaker cultivation can’t enter at all, why not let me go instead?” Jun Xiaoyao casually remarked.

The moment he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind.

”Ding, congratulations to the host, a new check-in location has been refreshed. Please check-in at the Ancient Burial Land!”

Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Jun Xiaoyao became even more determined to visit the Ancient Burial Land.

However, upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Especially Jiang Daoxu, Jiang Rou, Jiang Shengyi, and Jiang Luoli, they all showed varying degrees of alarm.

”Xiaoyao, you can’t go to such a dangerous place,” Jiang Rou spoke up directly.

”Xiaoyao, the Ancient Burial Land is too dangerous,” Jiang Shengyi said.

”Brother Xiaoyao, you can’t go to that kind of place; it’s terrifying there,” Jiang Luoli also pleaded.

Jiang Daoxu also spoke, ”Xiaoyao, I appreciate your intentions, but that place is too dangerous, and there’s no certainty that the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass is there, so there’s no need to go.”

Jun Xiaoyao’s relatives firmly opposed the idea.

Hua Yuanxiu’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam.

Jun Xiaoyao’s decision perfectly matched his wishes.

If Jun Xiaoyao were to die in the Ancient Burial Land, it would be ideal for him.

”Grandfather, don’t you trust me? Is there anything I can’t overcome?” Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

The Ancient Burial Land, which made ordinary people shy away, seemed nothing much in Jun Xiaoyao’s words.

”Xiaoyao, it would be okay to go to the Ancient Burial Land after you grow stronger, but now it’s too soon,” Jiang Daoxu shook his head.

For now, Jun Xiaoyao was the beloved of both the Jun Family and the Jiang Family.

If he were to perish in the Ancient Burial Land,

the consequences would be unimaginable for the two Ancient Noble Families.

Jiang Daoxu would rather sacrifice his own life than allow Jun Xiaoyao to take such a risk.

”Grandfather, my decision is made, Mother, you shouldn’t persuade me either. As for the Ancient Burial Land, I, Jun Xiaoyao, will go without a doubt!”

Jun Xiaoyao’s tone was firm, leaving no room for opposition.

So what if it’s the Ancient Burial Land, Jun Xiaoyao would journey there no matter what!
