Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

The celestial prides taking part in the Kunpeng Nest opportunity numbered over a thousand.

In the end, there were still hundreds who left alive.

Therefore, the news about Jun Xiaoyao could not be concealed at all.

He killed the Void Sword Son’s Spirit Body, annihilated the followers of the Sea God Third Prince, and even suppressed Kong Xuan, the follower of the Jade Buddha Son, into a mount.

It’s fair to say that just one opportunity saw Jun Xiaoyao simultaneously offend three top-tier celestial prides famed on the Emperor’s Road.

Moreover, these three had all cultivated a strand of immortal aura, making them little giants.

If an ordinary person offended three such little giants, they would undoubtedly be panic-stricken, feeling the future was bleak.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, seemed completely unbothered, leisurely continuing his cultivation.

The celestial prides at Jade Gate Pass all sighed, indeed, Jun Family’s Divine Son, fearing no challenge whatsoever.

Of course, the Jade Buddha Son and others could not ignore it.

At the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road, within a Buddhist hall.

The Jade Buddha Son, clad in jade-white Zen robes, sat cross-legged on a cushion.

His long hair draped, his face like jade, resembling a handsome Buddha carved from jade.

His body surface was indistinctly wrapped in strands of immortal aura, more than one.

Only the second strand seemed somewhat illusory, clearly just embryonic and not solidified.

The Jade Buddha Son also received news about the Kunpeng Nest and Kong Xuan.

”Suppressing Kong Xuan into a mount, Jun Xiaoyao, are you expressing dissatisfaction over my suppression of the Nine-headed Lion?” the Jade Buddha Son murmured to himself.

Beside him, the suppressed Nine-headed Lion, upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao’s name, was overjoyed to the point of tears.

”Haha, I knew it, my master definitely won’t die, he’ll tread the Emperor’s Road, he’ll come to rescue me!”

The Nine-headed Lion roared excitedly, sweeping away its previous dispiritedness.

”Are you sure he’s coming to rescue you, and not to meet his end?” the Jade Buddha Son still smiled, like a Buddha holding a flower, though traces of cold light seeped from his eyes.

”You long-haired bald donkey, can you fathom my master’s abilities? I bet your follower has already been taught a harsh lesson by my master...”

The Nine-headed Lion wanted to say more when the Jade Buddha Son furrowed his brow and casually waved his hand.

The Nine-headed Lion’s nine mouths were simultaneously sealed, only able to emit muffled sounds.

”Dare to suppress my follower into a mount, Jun Xiaoyao, you’re quite bold. If I can convert you, you’d make a splendid servant indeed.” the Jade Buddha Son smiled.

He never kills, only converts.

But the Jade Buddha Son didn’t plan to seek out Jun Xiaoyao just yet.

Because Hell Star was about to open, he needed to enter it to seek immortal marrow and thoroughly cultivate the second strand of immortal aura.

When the time came, he’d be more assured.

Though the Jade Buddha Son didn’t act immediately, the news spread.

Many who heard the Jade Buddha Son wanted to convert Jun Xiaoyao into a servant had only one reaction.

Stupefied silence.

To convert Jun Family’s Divine Son into a servant, that’s not the kind of talk an ordinary person dares utter.

”Is the Jade Buddha Son mad? How dare he speak such words?”

”The Jade Buddha Son is nearly cultivating two strands of immortal aura, while the Jun Family’s Divine Son is said to be in the Saint Realm but has never displayed immortal aura, perhaps not yet cultivated it.”

Immortal aura is not only a trump card but also the most evident measure of one’s talent.

Since Jun Xiaoyao embarked on the Emperor’s Road, he has never demonstrated immortal aura in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, many believe Jun Xiaoyao’s strength has improved, but he hasn’t had time to cultivate immortal aura completely.

In this comparison, lacking immortal aura seems a disadvantage.

More shockingly, it’s not only the Jade Buddha Son who has made statements.

At another locale in the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road, atop a peak.

A swordsman in a cyan robe, the Void Sword Son, sat on the high peak, looking down on all.

He too is waiting for Hell Star to open.

”Daring to destroy one of my Spirit Bodies, that Jun Xiaoyao is truly detestable!” Void Sword Son’s gaze was sharp as a blade.

However, Jun Xiaoyao’s strength and methods also made him somewhat apprehensive.

”But why do I have this feeling that Jun Xiaoyao possesses something that attracts me, which, if obtained, might greatly aid me.”

The Void Sword Son mused internally.

Then, he took out a half-scroll of dark gold scroll, causing a slight ripple in the surrounding space.

It was a half-scroll of Void Book.

”Since childhood, I’ve studied this half-scroll of Void Book up to now, finally it’s nearly helping me cultivate a second strand of Void Immortal Qi. Once I enter Hell Star and acquire enough immortal marrow, I can completely cultivate the second strand of immortal aura.”

”And if I slay Jun Xiaoyao, perhaps I’ll obtain what I desire.” Void Sword Son’s eyes glimmered with cold light.

He has already been defeated by Ye Guchen, he cannot lose to Jun Xiaoyao as well.

Void Sword Son also made a statement, inviting Jun Xiaoyao to the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road, where he’d attend in person!

For a time, the four corners trembled once more.

And yet, there’s even more.

In a void on the Emperor’s Road, a lavish water-blue dragon boat sped swiftly toward the twelfth checkpoint.

Within the dragon boat sat a handsome youth, clad in Seven Seas Jiao Dragon Armor and wielding the Sea King Trident, on a throne inlaid with Luminous Pearls, with a cold expression.

Around him, several beautiful women serving him felt the chilling atmosphere, standing with hands lowered, trembling, not daring to speak.

”Kunpeng Great Divine Techniques, Kunpeng True Blood, all gone.”

”And Marquis of Flipping River, Marquis of Naohai are also dead.”

”Well done, Jun Family’s Divine Son!”

This handsome youth was the Third Prince of the Sea God, from the Sea King Ancient Star Realm.

Though he’s a celestial pride from the Ancient Star Realm, his strength is no less than the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm’s Immortal Influence inheritors.

This time, he sent two followers to the Kunpeng Nest because the Kunpeng Great Divine Techniques were extremely important to him.

If acquired, his power would surge tremendously.

Now, everything was taken away by Jun Xiaoyao.

”Jun Xiaoyao, the foremost of the young generation in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, yet without immortal aura, you’re nothing at all!” Sea God Third Prince’s eyes emitted traces of cold light.

Soon, more news spread.

The Sea God Third Prince also intended to meet Jun Family’s Divine Son at the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road.

For a time, from the ninth to the twelfth checkpoints, rumors flew about, many celestial prides became excited, preparing to head to the twelfth checkpoint to see the spectacle.

You must know, this clash involved both sides.

On one side was the peerless Jun Family’s Divine Son, rumored as the invincible younger generation in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

On the other side were Jade Buddha Son, Void Sword Son, and Sea God Third Prince, three little giants famed on the Emperor’s Road.

In truth, a collision of such level was extremely rare on the Emperor’s Road, attracting universal attention.

”Go, to the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road, perhaps we’ll witness a battle that shakes the Emperor’s Road!”

”And with Hell Star about to open, likely there’ll be more variables, making it even more worth watching.”

Many celestial prides steered various starry sky flying ships, setting off for the twelfth checkpoint on the Emperor’s Road.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the storm’s eye, Jun Xiaoyao continued his cultivation in the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land of Jade Gate Pass.

After about half a month’s time.

Jun Xiaoyao finally opened his eyes.

Instantly, a vast and terrifying aura surged skyward, sweeping across the four directions with the ancient primordial chaos’ mighty power.

At the same time, on Jun Xiaoyao’s body surface, the fourth strand of immortal aura began to faintly emerge...
