Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

"Signing in at the depths of the Celestial Tomb?"

Jun Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned.

He was currently located in the Dark Valley, roughly at the central area of the Celestial Tomb, a considerable distance from its deepest depths indeed.

Moreover, the depths of the Celestial Tomb are evidently extremely perilous.

Even Supremes dare not venture recklessly.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, was nonchalant.

It’s just that his flesh body has yet to be restored, relying solely on the Primordial Spirit Body to venture into the tomb’s depths would indeed be somewhat dangerous.

Jun Xiaoyao planned to restore his flesh body before signing in at the tomb’s depths.

The ensuing time saw Jun Xiaoyao waiting for his flesh body to recover.

Besides, his primordial spirit was also fully restored.

After all, the Immortal Divine Skill is not mere decoration; it possesses strong restorative capabilities for both flesh body and primordial spirit.

As Jun Xiaoyao’s flesh body was restored and recovered.

Those wisps of aura pressure became increasingly powerful.

The entire Celestial Tomb was suffused with Chaos Qi.

This disturbance eventually attracted the attention of some Exotic Realm royal families in the region.

After all, the Celestial Tomb is an ancient forbidden land, extremely sensitive, easily garnering attention.

At a distance of tens of thousands of miles from the tomb, stood an exceedingly magnificent city.

This city seemed to stand amidst wind and snow, its walls ice-blue, constructed from Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice.

This was the stronghold of one of the hundred great royal clans of the Exotic Realm, the Ice Spirit Royal Family.

During its prime, the Ice Spirit Royal Family was once one of the top ten royal clans.

Yet in a certain era’s Two Realms War.

The Ice Spirit Royal Family was severely struck, with many powerhouses falling.

Even an ancient ancestor whose cultivation reached quasi-immortal fell.

This dealt a fatal blow to the Ice Spirit Royal Family.

From the top ten royal clans, it slid down to the lowest of the hundred royal clans.

Were it not for some residual blessings and heritage from ancestors, retaining its royal status might have been difficult.

It can be said the Ice Spirit Royal Family is a declining royal clan, not an exaggeration.

At this moment, within the central ice palace of the city.

A silver-haired middle-aged man sat upon the throne.

Beneath him, were the elders and family generals of the Ice Spirit Royal Family.

In the center, stood a beautiful young girl in a blue snowflake long dress.

Judging by appearance, she seemed around eighteen years old.

But for cultivators, appearance never signifies one’s true age.

Cultivators below a thousand years old are considered quite young.

This beautiful young girl, with silver hair like snow, was smooth and silky.

Her eyes were of a silver hue as well, exquisite like ice crystals.

Her almond-shaped face was stunningly exquisite, her straight nose high, lips vibrantly crimson.

Her figure was exquisite, her curves delightful.

Most striking was her skin, as white and translucent as ice and snow.

The whole person seemed carved from ice and snow, a beautiful being.

"Father, why have you called Qingxue?"

The silver-haired girl’s name was Fei Qingxue, and she spoke softly.

"Recently, there have been unusual happenings at the Celestial Tomb. Perhaps there’s an opportunity that might help restore the Cold Ice Celestial Bone within you." The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable said.

Fei Qingxue’s father, the Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable, was a Great Celestial Venerable powerhouse.

He was also the current clan leader of the Ice Spirit Royal Family.

"Qingxue understands." Fei Qingxue nodded her snow-white chin, her expression showing little change.

When she was born, her body bore a Cold Ice Celestial Bone.

Everyone in the Ice Spirit Royal Family believed Fei Qingxue was a sign of the family’s resurgence.

But fate was cruel.

The Cold Ice Celestial Bone within Fei Qingxue was innately flawed, broken.

This turned the hope of the Ice Spirit Royal Family for Fei Qingxue into disappointment.

"There’s one more matter." The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable said, his tone bearing a hint of hesitation.

For some reason, Fei Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat.

She felt something amiss.

"The Fire Rock Royal Family sent word; Prince Yan intends to marry you as a concubine." The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable said solemnly.

"Father, that’s impossible!" Fei Qingxue’s mind buzzed, immediately refusing.

As they say, water and fire do not mix.

The Ice Spirit Royal Family and the Fire Rock Royal Family have always been at odds.

During the Ice Spirit Royal Family’s prime, it suppressed the Fire Rock Royal Family.

Yet now, after the Ice Spirit Royal Family’s decline, the Fire Rock Royal Family instead suppressed the Ice Spirit Royal Family.

The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable sighed deeply, "If it were solely the Fire Rock Royal Family, I could barely withstand the pressure."

"But somehow, they’ve connected with the Black Peacock Race."

The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable’s words left Fei Qingxue’s delicate body frozen in place.

The Black Peacock Race.

That’s one of the top ten royal clans!

The Black Peacock King was also a notable quasi-immortal powerhouse in the Exotic Realm.

If the Black Peacock King could break through to become an Immortal King, the Black Peacock Race would immediately ascend to a Quasi-Emperor Race!

Just like the Red Owl Race did earlier.

Connecting with such a strong race naturally left the Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable helpless.

After all, what father would willingly see his daughter become another’s concubine?

"Qingxue, it’s not just about you; you must consider the entire family." The Ice Spirit Celestial Venerable said, his face weary, sighing helplessly.

"Yes, Qingxue miss..."

The surrounding elders of the Ice Spirit Royal Family all advised.

"Let Qingxue have some peace."

Fei Qingxue bit her red lips, retreating.

...

Days later, a group of people departed from the Ice Spirit Royal Family’s city, heading towards the Celestial Tomb.

Moreover, other royal families in the region dispatched teams.

Even some beings from the General Race were curious about changes in the Celestial Tomb, sending people to investigate.

Jun Xiaoyao naturally didn’t know, he merely wished to restore his flesh body.

Yet he unwittingly attracted so much attention.

...

Swish!

A thousand-foot golden sword radiance burst forth in the Dark Valley, carrying an irresistible momentum that seemed to cleave through the heavens!

The sky seemed to be divided in two.

"Is this the power of the Heaven-Slaying Technique?"

Gazing at the gradually mending huge void crack, Jun Xiaoyao’s Primordial Spirit Body murmured.

The Heaven-Slaying Technique, one of the Five Great Divine Techniques, indeed possessed formidable power.

From Jun Xiaoyao’s current level at the Quasi-Supreme Realm, its power was even more formidable.

"I am now far stronger than I ever was, almost as if I could effortlessly crush my past self."

Jun Xiaoyao was comprehending the realm of the Seven Venerable Realms.

That feeling was as if the barrier with the universe vanished.

As if he could personally touch the Great Dao.

No wonder only within the Seven Venerable Realms does one have the initial qualification to establish an Inner Cosmos.

After all, without deep understanding of Dao and rules, one lacks the ability to forge an Inner Cosmos.

"Though I’m in the Quasi-Supreme Realm, with my current strength and restored flesh, even Quasi-Supreme Great Perfection couldn’t defeat me."

Jun Xiaoyao estimated his strength.

Within the Seven Venerable Realms, not to mention challenging across one great realm.

Even crossing one small realm was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

For instance, from Early Stage to Mid Stage of the Quasi-Supreme Realm.

The difference might be larger than all the great realms of the Ninth Stage of Saint combined.

This is why, within the Ultimate Venerable Realm, tier jump challenges are rare.

But for a demon like Jun Xiaoyao, common logic doesn’t apply.

Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t wait for his flesh body to recover.

This way, he could emerge from the Celestial Tomb and meet the Exotic Realm powerhouses.

At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao’s Primordial Spirit Body suddenly showed an unusual expression.

"There are more beings coming to the Celestial Tomb, and this time... it’s royal beings."
