Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

"When you make a move, you should fully harness the mana source within the Sea of Spirits, unite your waist and horse, and focus your energy on a single point."

Jun Xiaoyao leaned close to Tushan Wanwan, pointing out directions on her body.

Wherever he pointed, Tushan Wanwan felt a tingling sensation.

Although she knew Jun Xiaoyao was seriously instructing her, Tushan Wanwan’s face was still burning red and flushed.

Beside her, Tushan Chun Chun was grinding her silver teeth, as if she had turned into a little grumbling woman.

"Hmm..."

Jun Xiaoyao sensed a slight anomaly.

The corner of his lips curled into an imperceptible arc.

She came after all, didn’t she?

Though Jun Xiaoyao’s Divine Soul Perception is sharp, logically speaking, he should not be able to detect Luo Xiangling in the shadows.

But he purposely carried a faint fragrance after mingling with Luo Xiangling during their Dao discussions.

Naturally, Luo Xiangling, having spent time discussing Dao with him, would also carry traces of this fragrance.

Therefore, now, Jun Xiaoyao smelled this faint fragrance and could deduce that Luo Xiangling had arrived.

She just hadn’t appeared, remaining hidden in the shadows.

It’s likely Luo Xiangling didn’t expect the slight fragrance she’d overlooked would alert Jun Xiaoyao to her presence.

This shows how deep Jun Xiaoyao’s scheming is.

Compared to him, while Luo Xiangling is powerful, she appears a bit naive.

"Instructing others?"

Luo Xiangling murmured.

Originally, this should be a normal affair.

Yet within Luo Xiangling’s heart, for some reason, there was a slight pang.

It’s small, subtle, yet truly exists.

This couldn’t be considered true jealousy.

After all, Luo Xiangling is a Quasi-Immortal, not some naive young maiden whose heart flutters easily.

It’s even less possible, within this short time, for her to develop feelings for Jun Xiaoyao.

At most, it’s a somewhat good impression.

But human nature is such.

For instance, the moment an opposite sex whom you were amicably talking with becomes intimate with another.

What would you think?

Even if it’s not a romantic relationship, surely you’d feel a bit discomfort?

Jun Xiaoyao merely capitalized on this aspect.

First put Luo Xiangling aside, leaving her in suspense.

Then let her experience this peculiar emotion.

If she couldn’t even feel such emotion, then it’s a lost cause.

It would signify Luo Xiangling has no feelings for Jun Xiaoyao whatsoever.

But now it seems, that’s evidently not the case.

Luo Xiangling remained silent, didn’t show herself, directly turned away and left.

Sensing that wisp of fragrance dissipate.

Jun Xiaoyao immediately released Tushan Wanwan.

"Young master, instruct me a bit more, won’t you?"

Tushan Wanwan surprisingly learned to use a coquettish tone.

"Sister Wanwan, you’ve gone too far!" Tushan Chun Chun pouted her cherry-red lips.

Mock pleading was her privilege.

"Just cultivate as I instructed." Jun Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head.

Tushan Wanwan probably isn’t aware, she’s merely a tool to Jun Xiaoyao.

Outside on the small path near the pavilion.

Yun Xiaohai was holding the Celestial Feather Horse, waiting there.

With a clenched fist, teeth grinding to almost crush.

Every so often, Tushan Wanwan would ride the Celestial Feather Horse to spar at Jun Xiaoyao’s residence.

This kind of feeling is like watching a goddess visiting another’s abode every day.

Though it has nothing to do with him, Yun Xiaohai always feels a wave of jealousy.

The Fourth Princess, noble and unparalleled before him, seemed like a lapdog going over to Jun Xiaoyao every now and then.

"If I had enough strength, if I could defeat that Chaos Body before the Princess..."

Yun Xiaohai’s fist clenched tightly.

If his power were enough, he could defeat the Chaos Body and gain the Tushan Royal Family’s favor.

Tushan Wanwan would undoubtedly view him differently.

Weakness is the original sin!

"Return..."

In Yun Xiaohai’s mind, the demonic sound echoed once more.

"Forbidden land, Sealed Demon Tomb, seek out your strength..."

"Sealed Demon Tomb?" Yun Xiaohai was taken aback.

It’s the absolute forbidden land within the Great Realm of the Tushan Royal Family, rarely visited.

"What secret do I harbor within?"

Even if Yun Xiaohai were foolish, he’d realize that he might contain some unknown power.

He touched his abdomen, feeling the Dark Hexagram Mark burn.

"The Celestial Chosen Grand Assembly is my only chance, if I can obtain strength and defeat the Chaos Body, then the Princess..."

Determination flashed in Yun Xiaohai’s eyes.

He would never hand over his goddess willingly!

...

Time passed day by day.

More and more Celestial Prides gathered at War God Academy.

News spread that there seemed to be movements again at Border Desolation.

Recently, War God Academy might dispatch members to Border Wilderness Training, confronting monsters from Nine Heavens Immortal Academy.

The entire War God Academy was focused on their cultivation.

News also spread that some dormant Emperor’s Daughter Celestial Maidens were about to awaken.

Eventually, they’d arrive at the academy before heading to Border Desolation.

In summary.

An impending storm threatened, a brutal war awaited.

By then, in Border Desolation, it wouldn’t be mere skirmishes like in Divine Ruins World.

"Border Desolation, when that time comes, it should come into contact with Immortal Realm."

"Seven Rebellious Emperors, Ancient Emperor’s Son, Long Yao’Er, Feather Transformation King, are they faring well?"

Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes surged with coldness.

If they knew he hadn’t perished, but instead transformed into Chaos Body, even further advancing to a Quasi-Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo.

Their eyeballs would probably fall out from shock.

"And my followers, Yan Qingying, Yi Yu, and others..."

"The Jun Family’s members..."

"Has Jun Bie Li fulfilled his promise to reinstate the Hidden Vein?"

"Shouldn’t the dormant seed have emerged by now?"

"How are Sister Shengyi and the rest?"

Jun Xiaoyao contemplated many questions.

After his exile to Exotic Realm, he was cut off from Immortal Realm, unable to get any news.

Only at Border Desolate Land could he contact Immortal Realm, and gather news from there.

"Has Immortal Realm forgotten me? It’s quite an anticipation." Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.

The day for a king to return will arrive.

Then, everyone in Immortal Realm will understand, this game against heaven.

He had won!

"I’ve left Luo Xiangling aside for quite some days, time to visit her." Jun Xiaoyao rose, preparing to head towards Luo Xiangling.

Matters of Border Desolation, that would take time, so there’s no rush.

Presently, the priority is cultivation, then winning over Luo Xiangling.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t want to neglect Luo Xiangling for too long; everything should have a limit.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao prepared to depart.

Fei Qingxue brought news.

"Sir, the Celestial Chosen Grand Assembly is about to commence. Won’t you attend?"

"Celestial Chosen Grand Assembly, what is that?" Jun Xiaoyao inquired.

He’s not in the mood for any miscellaneous assemblies.

Unless it’s something like the Celestial Immortal Banquet with tangible benefits.

"Due to high selection standards at War God Academy, with only over ten thousand spots, many Celestial Prides struggle to enter."

"Therefore, they are eager to become followers of academy disciples to enter indirectly for cultivation."

"Sir, your name resonates throughout the Ten Great Realms as the Quasi-War God of the Academy. Many young talents and Proud Daughters of Heaven wish to follow you," Fei Qingxue informed.

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao understood.

It’s essentially a follower selection assembly.

Unable to secure an academy spot themselves, they’d become followers of current academy disciples, thus joining.

"There’s no need for now." Jun Xiaoyao showed no interest, shaking his head.

Presently, he doesn’t need any followers.

"Sir, there’s one more thing, at the Celestial Chosen Grand Assembly, the Prince of the Other Shore from the Blue Other Shore Flower Lineage will appear."

"It’s rumored he’ll publicly execute a person."

"Blue Other Shore Flower Lineage?"

Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up.

The Other Shore Race is indeed a lineage he needs to investigate.

He needs to understand the causality involving the Other Shore Emperor Race and that Ghost-faced Woman.

"Who’s to be executed?" Jun Xiaoyao asked casually.

"It’s said a traitor of the Other Shore Race, who once helped the Jun Family’s Divine Son in Divine Ruins World."

"Hmm?"

Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze sharpened, his eyes filled with chilling intent.
