Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

”The end of the ancient road, huh...”

Jun Xiaoyao murmured, his face devoid of any waves.

That is a place he was certain to reach.

”Been checking in for so long, and still no Nine-Star or Ten-Star reward. Shouldn’t I be lucky next time?” Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.

Up to now, the highest star level he had signed in for was the Eight-Star reward.

The rewards for Seven and Eight Stars were already so rare and powerful; the Nine-Star and Ten-Star rewards must be even rarer, possibly world-renowned divine techniques or curios.

Of course, this was a matter of probability, something Jun Xiaoyao could not control.

”Just hope this system isn’t like a certain factory from the previous life, where the chance of drawing a high star is only a fraction of a percent.” Jun Xiaoyao joked.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao thought about what he needed to do next.

”The goals for the future are to continue refining immortal aura and to build a foundation to strongly break through to Saint King.” Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

He was not used to breaking through one layer at a time.

If you’re going to break through, do it joyfully; half-hearted attempts are the most uncomfortable.

Even though Jun Xiaoyao had the foundation left by the immortal embryo, it was not enough for him to break through multiple small realms consecutively.

Once he reached Saint, even breaking through one small realm was difficult, let alone directly to the Great Perfection.

Even a prodigy like Jun Xiaoyao needed to accumulate some foundation and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures to reach that.

Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao continued alone on the ancient road.

Compared to the Emperor’s Road in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, the Ultimate Ancient Road was evidently more desolate.

However, because this was the ultimate path of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it was occasionally possible to see some starry sky flying ships crossing, or some cultivators riding exotic beasts flying by.

None of them approached Jun Xiaoyao, each rushing on their way, very cautious.

Even celestial prides from the same Immortal Realm on the Emperor’s Road were wary of each other, sometimes fighting to the death.

Not to mention celestial prides from other Immortal Realms, where hostility and caution are even greater.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Jun Xiaoyao continued to move forward.

He had not even reached the first ancient star on the ancient road.

”This Ultimate Ancient Road is much, much longer than the Emperor’s Road in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.” Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

At this point, he suddenly stopped, speaking in a calm tone: ”Following me for days, what do you want?”

From the depths of the stars behind, a chubby man in a yellow robe, with a plump belly and an awkward smile, stepped forward.

”Greetings, young master.” The fat man bowed.

”What’s the matter?” Jun Xiaoyao asked calmly.

”I am Lu Renjia from Celestial Secret Tower in Profound Celestial Immortal Realm, you can call me Xiaolu.”

”I love making friends, and observing your immortal aura and celestial demeanor, you must be an extraordinary person. May I have the honor of knowing you?”

This fat man named Lu Renjia flattered with his small green bean eyes shining.

The Celestial Secret Tower, though not an immortal influence, had some fame in the Profound Celestial Immortal Realm.

”Sorry, I have no interest in extras.” Jun Xiaoyao was about to leave.

Lu Renjia asked, ”May I ask if you’re heading to the tenth checkpoint to participate in the celestial pride assembly?”

Jun Xiaoyao paused slightly and asked, ”What is that?”

Lu Renjia then smiled and said, ”The young master might not know, but with celestial prides from nine Emperor Roads gathering, there are inevitably some who possess treasures they can’t use and exchange them with others.”

”And the tenth checkpoint on the ancient road, Shangqiu Ancient Star, is considered the most prosperous ancient star at the beginning phase of the ancient road. The Ten Thousand Races Business Alliance is holding a celestial pride assembly there, where various rare treasures can be traded.”

Lu Renjia’s words made Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes flash.

Didn’t he have hundreds of unused Seals of Daoist Proof?

Rather than waste them, he might as well exchange them for treasures that could help him break through his realm cultivation.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao seemed interested, Lu Renjia continued, ”At that celestial pride assembly, many treasures might appear: immortal gold, Supreme Immortal Medicines, and even Immortal Pill Fragments.”

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao was surprised.

Didn’t expect there would even be Immortal Pill Fragments.

Anything associated with immortals is extremely precious, such as Blood of the Fallen Immortal, immortal embryos, etc.

”Of course, even the rarest Seals of Daoist Proof can be traded.” Lu Renjia clicked his tongue in admiration.

To this, Jun Xiaoyao merely smiled it off.

The one thing he lacked the least was Seals of Daoist Proof.

”You sure know a lot.” Jun Xiaoyao said.

”Of course, our Celestial Secret Tower in the Profound Celestial Immortal Realm is an intelligence network.” Lu Renjia said, patting his big belly.

Seeing that this Lu Renjia might have some usefulness, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind bringing him along.

Lu Renjia rubbed his hands together, asking whether Jun Xiaoyao was a celestial pride of the Little Giant Level.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

Although slightly disappointed, Lu Renjia didn’t show it.

”Haha, buddy, stick with Brother Lu, and you’ll be guaranteed to eat meat.” Lu Renjia relaxed and slapped Jun Xiaoyao on the shoulder in a carefree manner.

Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.

Just now, Lu Renjia asked Jun Xiaoyao to call him Xiaolu.

Now he immediately turned into Brother Lu.

However, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t deceive Lu Renjia.

He was indeed not a Little Giant Celestial Pride, nor was he even a Forbidden Celestial Pride.

He was an immeasurable anomaly of the ages!

Next, the two of them hit the road together.

It must be said, having this chubby guy around for company, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t feel bored.

Lu Renjia started talking non-stop, from the south to the north.

”Speaking of which, in my Profound Celestial Immortal Realm, the most prosperous power of the Taigu Royal Clan belongs to Sun God Mountain. Once the ten princes appear, who can resist?” Lu Renjia spoke eloquently.

”Sun God Mountain...” Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze dimmed.

It seemed like his follower, Yi Yu’s Yi Race, was annihilated because of Sun God Mountain, right?

”Sun God Mountain is considered the supreme royal overlord in my Profound Celestial Immortal Realm. They initiated the Immortal Battle, first destroying the Ancient Emperor Race Yi Race, then attacking the Moon God Palace, being arrogant and domineering...” Lu Renjia said.

Jun Xiaoyao was in deep thought.

He had promised earlier to help Yi Yu take revenge.

Now it seemed that the opportunity had arrived.

”Sun God Mountain, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow, huh...” Jun Xiaoyao’s lips curled into a faint smile.

In the months that followed,

Jun Xiaoyao, along with Lu Renjia, traversed seven or eight ancient life stars, finally nearing the tenth trial, the Shangqiu Ancient Star.

During this time, there were naturally many dangers.

Various void restricted areas, cruel demon thieves, and cosmic alien races were all extremely dangerous.

But these dangers were all easily swept aside by Jun Xiaoyao.

At this point, even if Lu Renjia were any dumber, he would know that Jun Xiaoyao was truly an extraordinary person.

”No wonder he said he wasn’t a Little Giant; it turns out he’s a Forbidden Celestial Pride...”

Lu Renjia’s attitude toward Jun Xiaoyao became respectful once more, switching from Brother Lu back to Xiaolu.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind these minor details.

As they approached the Shangqiu Ancient Star, the flow of people around them increased.

There were powerful Celestial Prides using ancient beasts to pull their vehicles.

Some Celestial Prides rode Phoenixes to travel.

A variety of tower ships and starry sky flying ships all gathered toward the Shangqiu Ancient Star.

”At this Celestial Pride gathering, I must exchange for a treasure to condense Immortal Aura.”

”Hehe, I’m here just to catch a glimpse of the Fairy from the Divine Maiden Workshop, Celestial Maiden Yuan.”

”Yes, I’ve heard Celestial Maiden Yuan is adept at dancing, with her Luoshen Jinghong Dance mesmerizing all beings.”

All around, some Celestial Prides were exchanging thoughts.

”It’s quite lively here.” Jun Xiaoyao’s expression was serene.

Having walked in the desolate cosmos for so long, occasionally arriving in a place bustling with life wasn’t so bad.

At that moment, there was suddenly a surge of mana, and divine techniques radiated light.

A petite figure, extremely agile, leapt through the void like a rabbit.

Behind, four tremendously powerful figures were in pursuit.

One of them, broad and burly like a demon mountain, shouted in a thundering voice: ”We, the Eight Little Saints, are here to corner our prey. Bystanders, step aside!”

As he spoke, he casually slapped a nearby Celestial Pride along their path into a bloody mist.

”Hiss... Could they be four of the Eight Little Saints of the Ancient Royal Family?” Lu Renjia gasped, his eyes filled with fear.

”Eight Little Saints of the Ancient Royal Family?” Jun Xiaoyao looked confused.

”Young master, you might not know, but they are eight Celestial Prides with powerful cultivation from the Ancient Royal Family, and they are all on the Giant List, possessing immense strength,” Lu Renjia explained.

Just then, that petite figure happened to flee toward their direction.

”Let’s leave.” Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

Such chases were all too common on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Jun Xiaoyao wasn’t the kind of person who would blindly help others.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others were about to leave, the four powerful figures of the Ancient Royal Family had already closed in.

”I told you to get lost, and here you are blocking the way!”

The broad and burly man slammed a palm, as if a black sky was collapsing.

Lu Renjia was so frightened that his face turned pale, his chubby cheeks trembling.

”Hmm?” Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed coldly.
