Chapter 973 - 971: Awarded the War God Title, Border Wilderness Training Begins, Great Sacrifice Blood Land
The events of War God Mountain have shaken the entire Ten Great Realms of the Exotic Realm.
Especially with the identity of Jun Xiaoyao as one of the Six Kings of Destruction being exposed.
This also made people think back to the recent anomaly of the Dark Hexagram that appeared in the sky.
Only then did everyone realize that the anomaly was actually caused by Jun Xiaoyao.
Many top royal races, quasi-emperor races, and even the Immortal Emperor Race have sent people to War God Academy, eager to meet Jun Xiaoyao.
Nowadays, Jun Xiaoyao has truly become a highly sought-after figure.
Because, without exception, Jun Xiaoyao is destined to become a World-Ending King, achieving at least the status of an Immortal King.
Adding his innate Chaos Body talent, this seems almost certain.
If one can win over Jun Xiaoyao, it would be greatly beneficial for any race.
Even the Immortal Emperor Race would be envious, unable to maintain their aloof indifference.
However, Jun Xiaoyao has declined to see any of these envoys.
Inside Jun Xiaoyao’s residence.
Jun Xiaoyao was sitting opposite Luo Xiangling.
A Go board was set between them, with tea placed beside it.
The two were playing chess and drinking tea.
As for Tushan Chun Chun and the others, due to Luo Xiangling’s presence, they dared not disturb.
After all, in front of Jun Xiaoyao, Luo Xiangling was just an ordinary woman.
But in front of others, she was the lofty Prince Luo.
"Xiaoyao, in these days, several branches of the Immortal Emperor Race have tried to visit you, yet you refused them."
"If you agree to them, they could help shield you from the pressure of the Mo Jie Emperor Race."
Luo Xiangling took a sip of tea and said.
Jun Xiaoyao lightly smiled and said, "What’s there to care about those mundane matters? The true joy in life is playing chess and drinking tea with you, Xiangling."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiangling’s eyes slightly lowered, her delicate lashes like butterfly wings.
A faint blush appeared on her delicate cheeks.
For some reason, she found herself getting embarrassed around Jun Xiaoyao more frequently.
"Xiaoyao, you will grow to be a great figure, maybe one day even surpassing me."
As if to cover her emotions, Luo Xiangling joked.
But what she said was indeed true.
Luo Xiangling was now in a bottleneck, finding it very difficult to break through to become an Immortal King.
But Jun Xiaoyao, with his monstrous talent, was destined to achieve immortality.
"Still, thanks to you, Xiangling, I’ve been able to progress so smoothly. If I find a way, I will surely help you break through to immortality."
As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he quietly placed a hand over Luo Xiangling’s jade-like hand.
Luo Xiangling’s body trembled slightly but did not retract her hand.
"Xiaoyao, your intention is enough," Luo Xiangling’s pearly earlobes tinged with a subtle red.
Jun Xiaoyao’s acting was flawless.
His skills in charming others were maxed out.
However, Jun Xiaoyao’s words weren’t entirely deceitful.
He genuinely wanted to help Luo Xiangling break through to immortality.
That way, he would have a truly immortal king as an ally.
This was very important to Jun Xiaoyao.
It would make his actions in the Exotic Realm much easier.
Just then, Fei Qingxue’s voice came from outside the door.
"Young master, Elder Mu has arrived."
Hearing this, Luo Xiangling instinctively withdrew her jade-like hand, a hint of youthful shyness on her face.
But despite her age, which might classify her as an older woman, Luo Xiangling’s penchant for flirtation was remarkably enticing.
Even more charming than a maiden in the throes of first love.
Elder Mu walked in, immediately noticing Luo Xiangling’s shy demeanor.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that he might have come at an inopportune time.
"What brings you here, Elder Mu?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"It’s like this, if nothing unexpected occurs, you might receive the true title of Titled War God," Elder Mu said.
To this, Jun Xiaoyao was not surprised.
Having even drawn the Divine Cry Battle Halberd, receiving the Titled War God was well deserved.
"But the Border Wilderness Training is about to begin, so your title and the celebratory banquet associated with it might have to wait until after we return from the Border Wilderness," Elder Mu said.
"It’s not important."
Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind.
He actually didn’t care much for this so-called Titled War God.
It was just a name that made his dealings in the Exotic Realm easier.
"The Academy’s esteemed figures are very much looking forward to your performance at the Border Wilderness, as the Titled War God must not appear weak; otherwise, it might give rise to criticism," Elder Mu whispered.
"Don’t worry, Boss Mu, I am aware," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
"Still, you must be cautious during this trip to the Border Wilderness,"
"There’s word that even from the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy, chief figures have come, and I’ve heard that there’s a seed-level Chaos Body from the Immortal Realm," Elder Mu said with a serious tone.
Who would’ve thought that there would be two Chaos Bodies in this era?
Jun Xiaoyao merely smiled to himself.
He wasn’t actually a Chaos Body, just possessing a Chaos Cyan Lotus Physique that was virtually equivalent.
As for the Chaos Body from the Immortal Realm, he was curious as to whether they were stronger compared to one another.
"Oh, and there’s one more important matter. There’s been activity reported at an Immortal Relic left behind by our realm at the Border Wilderness,"
"This relic is called the Great Sacrifice Blood Land and involves a taboo immortal. You should take heed," Elder Mu advised.
"I understand," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
The name Great Sacrifice Blood Land by itself suggested there would be secrets within.
And with ties to a taboo immortal, Jun Xiaoyao suspected significant discoveries awaited him there.
After the conversation concluded, Elder Mu left.
Luo Xiangling’s eyes, as clear as water, brimmed with concern.
"Xiaoyao, the Border Wilderness is no safe land, even if I accompany you, I might not be able to protect you," Luo Xiangling said with worry.
The Border Desolate Battlefield was a vast, rule-chaotic region lodged between two realms.
And should conflict arise, it would naturally be warriors facing warriors and generals facing generals.
Quasi-immortals from the Exotic Realm would confront quasi-emperors from the Immortal Realm.
Hence, Jun Xiaoyao and others would have to rely on themselves.
"Xiangling, don’t worry. I can’t always rely on your protection," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
He had tasks to accomplish in the Border Wilderness as well.
Having Luo Xiangling tag along would be inappropriate.
A few days later, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in his residence.
In his Inner Cosmos, countless points of light continuously gathered onto the Seed of Faith.
This was the Power of Faith from countless Slave Race beings.
Tuoba Yu, the tool he was, was quite diligent in his responsibilities.
Yet, Jun Xiaoyao had not heard any news of rebellion from the Slave Race.
It seemed the chaos at that level was insufficient to catch the attention of the Exotic Realm’s high-level powerhouses.
But this was advantageous, providing Tuoba Yu time for wild expansion.
The only shortcoming was that the Power of Faith provided by the Slave Race beings, albeit pure, was limited in quantity.
In contrast, the Power of Faith from the Ice Spirit Royal Family was becoming purer over time.
The Power of Faith from a single strong individual could equate to that of thousands or tens of thousands of Slave Race beings.
Jun Xiaoyao planned to have the Ice Spirit Royal Family preach to other royal families once his influence peaked.
By then, the Power of Faith he amassed would experience an explosive growth.
The Seed of Faith, Jun Xiaoyao no longer attended to, waiting for it to sprout.
Additionally, the Celestial Immortal Tree had also begun to fruit.
Each humanoid Celestial Immortal Fruit, crystalline and imbued with the Power of Laws, resembled a Ginseng Fruit.
"Next is the breakthrough to Supreme. In addition to self-comprehension, I will require more Law Fragments as support," Jun Xiaoyao pondered.
Relying solely on Celestial Immortal Fruit for Law Fragments was evidently insufficient.
"Right, the Border Desolate Land has numerous mysterious areas. There’s a chance I could find things like Law Fragments to help condense my Flesh Body Law and directly break through to Supreme."
With this thought, Jun Xiaoyao now had a plan.
The trip to the Border Wilderness must yield significant gains!
