Chapter 818: Chapter 816: Setting Ah Jiu Free, Jun Xiaoyao Exposed as a Scumbag, Young Emperor Strife—The Immortal Artifact Emerges
Jiang Shengyi has left.
Together with her are Yu Qingning and the Divine Silkworm Princess, having reverted to her true form.
Jiang Shengyi knows that this visit to the Yaochi Sacred Land will greatly aid her cultivation.
Moreover, she possesses the Jade Pool Immortal Scripture, which can help the Yaochi Sacred Land rise again.
It’s even possible for Jiang Shengyi to become the next generation Sect Leader of the Yaochi Sacred Land in the future.
After all, she is also a disciple of Yu Qingning, the Ancient Sect Leader.
Although Jiang Shengyi is reluctant, she leaves decisively, without any tears or sorrowful farewells.
She is an independent and strong woman who would not cling to Jun Xiaoyao’s side.
Separation is for the sake of a longer future.
"Hey, Brother Xiaoyao, you look mesmerized—she’s already gone." Jiang Luoli teased him, waving her small hand in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
"No, after resting for so long, I should start cultivating." Jun Xiaoyao smiled calmly.
He is not one to be caught up in romantic entanglements.
Moreover, the news about Jun Wuhui and the New Emperor of the Exotic Realm put great pressure on Jun Xiaoyao.
He needs to advance quickly.
The greatest opportunity to come would be the ultimate trials at the end of the Ancient Road.
Jun Xiaoyao also needs to make good preparations.
Next, he plans to go into seclusion for a while to cultivate the Life Book.
He also needs to transfer the Spring of Life into his Inner Cosmos.
But before that, Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Ah Jiu.
He suddenly said, "Ah Jiu, you are free to act; you do not need to protect me in secret anymore."
Upon hearing this, a slight ripple passed through Ah Jiu’s eyes.
"Young Master, why?"
"With your talent, Ah Jiu, if you hadn’t been secretly following me all this time, your realm should be beyond the Little Celestial Venerable Realm by now," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
Ah Jiu had sacrificed too much of her time to be his Guardian.
"I don’t mind," Ah Jiu said.
She had followed Jun Wuhui and was from the same era as him.
Though her appearance was breathtaking, the traces of time in her eyes revealed her age, much older than Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli.
Yet this accumulation of time did not diminish Ah Jiu’s charm in the slightest.
Instead, it gave her a maturity and steadiness that could see through the affairs of the world.
This was a unique charm that Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli did not possess.
"You may not mind, but I can’t delay you," Jun Xiaoyao said.
After a moment of silence, Ah Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since it’s the order of the Young Master, Ah Jiu will obey."
Ah Jiu turned and was about to leave.
"Wait." Jun Xiaoyao said.
Ah Jiu paused her steps.
"All along, thank you." Jun Xiaoyao clasped his hands in gratitude towards Ah Jiu, his tone extremely sincere.
He was genuinely thankful.
"Just a clasped hands thank you?" Ah Jiu’s lips suddenly curled into a faint smile.
Jun Xiaoyao was taken aback.
He looked at the woman in front of him, with hair like a waterfall and a face beautiful enough to be a dream.
He stepped forward and gently embraced her.
Ah Jiu’s delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes rippling.
She had merely made a small joke, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to take such an action.
But Ah Jiu did not resist, gently hugging Jun Xiaoyao in return.
A simple, warm embrace.
"Ah Jiu, you protected me before. From now on, I will ensure your safety for a lifetime," Jun Xiaoyao whispered in Ah Jiu’s ear.
Ah Jiu’s dreamlike face bloomed with a smile that could topple cities.
"Thank you, Young Master," she said.
Finally, Ah Jiu also left.
She, too, embarked on her path of cultivation.
At least until Jun Xiaoyao fully grows into a giant in power.
Ah Jiu also wanted to advance further and continue secretly protecting Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching Ah Jiu’s departing back, Jun Xiaoyao let out a slight sigh.
At that moment, he felt a resentful gaze on him from behind.
Turning around, he saw Jiang Luoli pouting at him.
"Brother Xiaoyao... How heartless!" Jiang Luoli cast him a glance.
Jiang Shengyi had just left, and here he was, embracing another woman—doesn’t that make him a classic rogue?
Jun Xiaoyao was at a loss for words.
It was merely a hug of gratitude, without any other intentions.
Later, Jiang Luoli also decided to leave.
Of course, it wasn’t because she was angry with Jun Xiaoyao.
Rather, she also had her own path to pursue.
Especially after obtaining the remnants of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Jiang Luoli needed to find further opportunities to repair and refine it completely.
Having transformed into a Primordial Spirit Immortal Body, if she manages to fully refine the Primordial Spirit Realm, her cultivation realm would surely soar.
"Finally, I’m the only one left," Jun Xiaoyao exhaled lightly.
Except for Princess Long Ji, who was receiving the legacy from the Nine-fingered Saint Dragon Emperor, it was once again just him alone.
"But that’s fine; I also need to go into seclusion and plan for the future," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
Dealing with the Seven Rebellious Emperors, devising plans for the ultimate trials to seize the World Tree—
These were matters Jun Xiaoyao needed to consider and plan.
"In the contest with heaven, I absolutely cannot lose!" Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes glowed with determination.
Currently, four of the Seven Rebellious Emperors are confirmed.
Ling Yuan, the Ancient Emperor’s Son, Long Yao’Er, and Xuan Yue.
No...
There should be more than just four.
A profound light flickered in Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao went into seclusion, beginning to comprehend the Life Book while preparing to move the Spring of Life into his Inner Cosmos.
The entire Emperor Burial Star fell silent.
Yet, news constantly emerged of certain celestial prides gaining opportunities and soaring in success.
News about Jun Xiaoyao, in particular, stirred the entire Ultimate Ancient Road.
This battle between the Holy Body and the Overlord would undoubtedly be etched into ancient history.
Of course, what made this battle iconic was not how fierce or evenly matched the fight was.
Quite the opposite; it was because it ended too easily, with Jun Xiaoyao humiliating with his Dharma Body, merely watching the show.
Finally, his true self struck decisively to secure victory.
This battle was cited by many as a textbook example of humiliating someone.
It’s said that after this battle, a trend erupted among young celestial prides to cultivate Dharma Bodies.
Each aspired to use their Dharma Body to humiliate others.
They discovered, however, that their Dharma Bodies were inexplicably weak.
"Are you guys out of your minds? The Jun Family’s Divine Son’s true strength is apparent. Even if his Dharma Body has only a tenth of his power, it’s enough to overpower many taboo figures,"
"With you all so weak as your true selves, you want to mimic the Divine Son and show off with a Dharma Body?" a celestial pride mercilessly pointed out.
However, while the battle between the Holy Body and the Overlord made waves, another piece of news began to simmer and boil over.
The Supreme Immortal Court’s Young Emperor contest was about to conclude.
The entire Ultimate Ancient Road, along with all the celestial prides, was riveted by this news, closely watching.
The reason was simple: the Immortal Court Young Emperor was eligible to become the Lord of the Immortal Court.
And once the Immortal Court Young Emperor was established, many speculated whether the already fragmented Supreme Immortal Court would regroup.
Certainly, the Immortal Court Young Emperor was the symbolic core figure.
As the outside world closely watched.
In another vast, unknown space.
This space was rich in spiritual energy and abundant in immortal light.
Countless steles stood within, forming a stone forest.
Many of these steles bore forbidden legacies.
These were left by many predecessors and strong figures of the Immortal Court.
Among them were Emperor Level legacies, no lesser than those on the Emperor Burial Star.
This space was precisely where the Immortal Court held its Young Emperor contest, the Immortal Stele Forest.
As a colossal force that once ruled over the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
The Supreme Immortal Court certainly held no shortage of Great Emperors.
So naturally, there were many legacies left behind as well.
Many believe that apart from the Jun Family, with its ancient and unfathomable depth.
The Supreme Immortal Court had one of the highest numbers of Great Emperors in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
At this moment, in the core area of the Immortal Stele Forest, a blinding Haoguang illuminated the ten directions.
In this boundless Haoguang, a vague, illusory throne could be seen.
That throne exuded an air of supreme majesty, enveloped in swirling immortal light.
An aura far more vast than Emperor’s Might spread and permeated the atmosphere.
The Celestial Emperor’s Throne!
This was the supreme symbol of the Immortal Court, the ultimate object suppressing the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
Because it wasn’t an Emperor’s Weapon but a genuine Immortal Artifact!
