Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

"You’re still alive, how could I possibly die?"

From the void came the divine thought waves of Jun Cuihua.

These two ancient ancestors of the Jun Family still seemed to know each other.

"It seems you want to protect this young lad?"

"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are decreed by Heaven, everything has its fate."

"Where there is cause, there will be effect, let’s see in the days to come..."

Jun Tai’e’s divine thought dissipated.

Jun Bie Li, from beginning to end, remained indifferent.

As if he isn’t worried at all about the main vein retaliating against him.

"Very soon, there will be an outcome for everything." Jun Bie Li smiled faintly.

Upon seeing the two Quasi-Emperors of the Jun Family, who had no intention of engaging in conflict.

Many influential figures from various forces were somewhat stunned.

The reaction of the Jun Family did not match their usual arrogant style.

However, some people thought, after all, being a hidden vein, directly making a move wouldn’t be easy.

If it was another force, the Jun Family would have probably wiped them out long ago.

Jun Bie Li returned to the hidden vein.

He arrived in a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land filled with thick Immortal Aura.

Jun Qingyan and Emperor Jun followed behind him.

In the center of this Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, there was a Spiritual Spring Eye.

Within the spring eye, a three-meter high Immortal Origin floated.

Within the Immortal Origin, there was an elderly woman sealed.

She appeared very old, with silver-white hair, her face full of deep wrinkles.

However, one can vaguely see the contour of her youth, definitely pure and beautiful.

"This is..."

Both Jun Qingyan and Emperor Jun were somewhat puzzled.

Could this be a relative of Jun Bie Li?

But in the next moment, something astonishing happened to both of them.

Jun Bie Li walked up to the Immortal Origin, reached out his hand, and gently stroked it.

"Qing’Er, how many years has it been, I finally found a way to resurrect you, to share eternity with me."

"And that is to make you possess the talent to become a Great Emperor."

Jun Bie Li’s words left Jun Qingyan and Emperor Jun utterly dumbstruck.

Could it be...

"You might be wondering why I bear the infamous burden of kin-blood strife just to obtain the Celestial Dao Crown."

"All because, I cannot let go of her."

"Perhaps it’s selfish, but there’s no choice, maybe people are inherently selfish."

"Next, I will have the hidden vein return to the main vein, that’s all I can do."

Jun Bie Li’s words completely floored the two.

Especially Jun Qingyan.

To be honest, she initially held deep repulsion and dislike towards Jun Bie Li.

Thinking he was a heartless person, caring only for himself without any bloodline emotion.

But now, it seems there is another hidden story.

"Would you like to hear a story, I haven’t told anyone in a long time." Jun Bie Li smiled.

The two were silent.

But Jun Bie Li still spoke.

In Jun Bie Li’s era, he was a celestial pride, mesmerizing the cosmos.

He was the supreme Hidden Vein Emperor of the Jun Family, overseeing the world’s ebb and flow.

All proud daughters of heaven merely gazed up at him, without even the qualification to stand by his side.

Jun Bie Li didn’t think he would actually fall for anyone.

He dedicated his entire heart and soul to cultivation.

Until one day.

He paused on an ancient star of the mortal world.

While searching for a certain alchemy herb.

He met that innocently looking, plain-clothed tea-picking girl of the mortal realm.

"Hey, don’t you know the way?"

"Hey, why not come to my place first, I’ll make some tea for you."

"Hey, why don’t you know how to smile, you look a bit dazed."

Inconceivable.

One was the Hidden Vein Emperor overlooking the cosmos, overseeing the world.

One was the ordinary mortal world tea-picking girl, without a trace of cultivation.

Sometimes, fate is just so unreasonable.

Jun Bie Li, didn’t love Holy Land Saintesses, didn’t love Great Teaching Fairies, didn’t love proud daughters of heaven.

Only this tea-picking girl from the mortal realm touched his heart.

Of course, Jun Bie Li didn’t fall immediately.

He thought this tea-picking girl, Li Qing’Er, was just one of the many passersby in his long life.

Life spans weren’t much to Jun Bie Li.

But to Li Qing’Er, her life would only last a hundred years.

After a short stay, Jun Bie Li was about to leave.

He looked at Li Qing’Er, whose eyes were tinged with reluctance, and, after a slight pause, left a cultivation technique.

"If you can cultivate it, seek me out in the future."

After saying that, Jun Bie Li left directly.

He thought, Li Qing’Er was merely an embellishment in his life.

But who knew...

Li Qing’Er really mastered the technique and ventured through the infinite stars to seek Jun Bie Li’s silhouette.

At that moment, Li Qing’Er realized the seemingly average man in her eyes was of such immense background.

Yet, Li Qing’Er still went searching.

Finally found him.

Jun Bie Li couldn’t imagine that the tea-picking girl who touched his heart truly came searching for him.

One Jun Family Emperor, one mortal tea-picking girl.

The two found and loved each other.

But, Li Qing’Er’s talent was far too low, her cultivation was too weak.

Even if Jun Bie Li tried all means, it was difficult to help her break through the bottleneck.

Li Qing’Er grew older day by day.

While Jun Bie Li remained youthful.

Not to mention, Jun Bie Li often fell into slumber, each slumber lasting an epoch.

Though Li Qing’Er was also sealed within the Immortal Origin.

With time passing, her life’s flame grew dimmer.

Until one day, Li Qing’Er was already elderly, becoming an old woman.

She touched Jun Bie Li’s face, tears on her face, and said.

"You’re still so young, and I’ve grown so old."

"No, Qing’Er, in my heart, you’re still as you were when we first met."

"After this slumber, I might not wake up again..."

"No, I will find any way to wake you up."

Li Qing’Er shed tears.

Before being sealed in the Immortal Origin, she murmured softly.

"A journey amidst gathering and separation with you is life itself."

Because of this line, Jun Bie Li changed his name.

He was previously not called Jun Bie Li but Jun Gui Chen.

But because of this line from Li Qing’Er, he changed his name to Jun Bie Li.

Just to never forget his one true love.

One lifetime, one pair.

The story is over.

Emperor Jun was silent.

Jun Qingyan’s eyes were slightly red, moved by this love story.

Honestly, initially, they did not quite understand why Jun Bie Li, after obtaining the Celestial Dao Crown, did not integrate it into himself.

Although Jun Bie Li’s talent was already extreme, not needing the Celestial Dao Crown to prove his emperorship.

But at least, integrating the Celestial Dao Crown would bring only benefits, being a supreme baptism.

They were puzzled.

But now, they understood.

Jun Bie Li did all of this for his lover, Li Qing’Er.

Precisely the elderly woman sealed within the Immortal Origin now.

"I will not beg for anyone’s forgiveness, even if condemned by thousands, despised by the masses, it doesn’t matter."

"Besides, this was the condition for the return of the hidden vein." Jun Bie Li said.

His words made Jun Qingyan’s delicate body tremble, her beautiful eyes widened, her pitch-black pupils filled with utmost incredulity.

She recalled the jade scroll they handed over to Jun Xiaoyao in the Original Emperor City.

Within was a condition for the hidden vein’s return.

And Jun Xiaoyao said he accepted that condition.

"Lord Emperor, was the condition for the hidden vein’s return really..." Jun Qingyan exclaimed.

"Yes, the condition for the hidden vein’s return was for me to obtain the Celestial Dao Crown."

"Indeed, this seemingly impossible condition was completed by Jun Xiaoyao!"

Jun Bie Li’s gaze was profound, filled with emotion.

Even he hadn’t expected that Jun Xiaoyao would truly fulfill that almost impossible condition.

But the question is...

Did Jun Xiaoyao really sacrifice his life to make the hidden vein return?
