Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning-Chapter 575 - 573: Jiang Shengyi’s Predicament, the Mysterious Human Immortal Sect Successor, Leaving the Immortal Embryo to Jun Xiaoyao (Fourth Update)

At the end of the Emperor's Road in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm lies the eighteenth gate, known as Hangu Pass.

After exiting westward from Hangu Pass, it marks the starting point of the Ultimate Ancient Road.

In the void a million miles beyond Hangu Pass, there is a vast and endless ancient battlefield.

Rather than a battlefield, at a glance, it resembles a barbaric continent suspended in the cosmic starry skies.

Legend has it that this Desolate Heaven Battlefield is a relic extremely old, hence leaving behind numerous great opportunities.

For instance, the Immortal Embryo, a heavenly treasure scarcely found elsewhere, can indeed be discovered in the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

And now, since the opening of the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, a long time has passed.

Many Celestial Prides are competing fiercely within.

Of course, some Celestial Prides are merely observing from outside, not entering, as along the way, they have become weary and their Dao Hearts have been worn out.

They are curious now about who can seize the Seal of Daoist Proof and step onto the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Moreover, the duel between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao has attracted many Celestial Prides to come.

Even some native beings on the Emperor's Road have gathered here to watch the spectacle.

In the void, a middle-aged man clad in dazzling Divine Armor, exuding supreme pressure, dominates the scene.

He is the Guardian of Hangu Pass, Venerable Du Tuo.

The Desolate Heaven Battlefield is the ultimate trial ground of the last gate on the Emperor's Road, extremely important.

Even Venerable Du Tuo must pay close attention and guard this place at all times.

"Tsk tsk, the Immortal Embryo, even this Venerable's heart would be stirred by such a thing." Venerable Du Tuo remarked.

The Immortal Embryo, a heavenly treasure, would excite even a Supreme Venerable, let alone those Celestial Prides competing for it.

To obtain the Immortal Embryo and cultivate Immortal Aura, they are capable of doing anything.

Fair one-on-one competition?

No such thing exists!

"But what makes this Venerable wonder is, why hasn't that little girl from the Jiang Family refined the Immortal Embryo directly after acquiring it?" Venerable Du Tuo shook his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Despite Jiang Shengyi being targeted from all sides, she should have had the time to refine the Immortal Embryo.

With her Talent of the Innate Dao Embryo, if she refined the Immortal Embryo, she would undoubtedly become a top-tier Forbidden Celestial Pride.

But Jiang Shengyi did not do so.

At this moment, deep within the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

On a desolate desert's surface.

An immortal silhouette swiftly traversed the sky.

She wore a snow robe and had white hair, possessing unrivaled Immortal Beauty, pure and transcendent.

Her figure graceful and flawless, with a delicate and elegant physique, akin to a Snow Lotus secluded from the world, her skin jade-like and bones of an Immortal, her aura outstanding.

It was indeed Jiang Shengyi.

However, she was not in a very good condition at this moment.

Her exquisite Immortal Beauty was pallid and devoid of color, her snow robe stained with spots of blood, as if blood plum blossoms were blooming.

Coupled with her snow-like white hair, it exuded a kind of poignant beauty.

"Keep holding on, holding on... You must wait until he arrives..." Jiang Shengyi wiped the residual blood from the corner of her lips with her jade hand.

During this time, she had been besieged by various Celestial Prides repeatedly, fleeing all the way.

As for the Jiang Family and Jun Family members who wanted to help her, they too encountered several disturbances and blockades, unable to arrive promptly.

After all, the Immortal Embryo, such heavenly treasure, is enough to drive people mad; no one can resist such temptation.

What made Jiang Shengyi feel uneasy was that some Little Giants seemed to have reached some sort of agreement in secret, beginning to target her fully.

As Jiang Shengyi pondered in her heart, ahead, suddenly a figure appeared from the void.

It was a graceful silhouette in azure, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, her face covered with white gauze, shrouded in Immortal Splendor, revealing only a pair of eyes like autumn waters, clear and bright.

It was Ji Qingyi, Divine Maiden of the Ji Family.

"Ji Qingyi, it's you." Jiang Shengyi's beautiful eyes showed a wary expression, the Power of the Innate Daoist Embryo circulating within her.

"Jiang Shengyi, Qingyi does not wish to declare war with you; I can exchange various rare treasures with you for the Immortal Embryo." Ji Qingyi said.

She did not exhibit any murderous intent, nor did she desire to make a move.

"You know, that is impossible." Jiang Shengyi shook her head.

The Immortal Embryo is such a precious object that it cannot be exchanged for just any treasure.

Moreover, she had her own plans having obtained the Immortal Embryo and would not hand it over to anyone else.

"Then how about exchanging it for an Immortal Scripture?" Ji Qingyi smiled.

"What, you have an Immortal Scripture?" Jiang Shengyi was genuinely astonished.

The Immortal Scripture, such a rare item, is rumored to be the Supreme Technique left behind by true immortals.

Even among some Immortal Influences, there might only be some Incomplete Immortal Scriptures.

"My Immortal Scripture certainly isn't complete either, but I do have half a scroll, enough to cultivate Immortal Dao Divine Techniques." Ji Qingyi said.

Jiang Shengyi deeply regarded Ji Qingyi.

Ji Qingyi was not only the Divine Maiden of the Desolate Ancient Ji Family but also the Fairy of the Human Immortal Sect.

Being the successor of two Immortal Influences, Ji Qingyi instead kept a low profile, unlike Jun Xiaoyao, who was renowned throughout the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Yet she was undoubtedly the most deeply hidden person, even Jiang Shengyi found it hard to discern.

Nevertheless, Jiang Shengyi still shook her head.

Her Immortal Embryo already had a decided destination.

"Is that so, what a pity then, you missed a chance to forge a favorable connection." Ji Qingyi sighed.

"Forge a favorable connection, with you?" Jiang Shengyi asked.

"Not me, but the true successor of the Human Immortal Sect, someone destined to become an unparalleled existence, while I am merely a supporter; this Immortal Embryo is intended for him." Ji Qingyi tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear, speaking with a calm demeanor like water.

"The true successor of the Human Immortal Sect?" Jiang Shengyi's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

That the dignified Saintess of the Human Immortal Sect, the profound and elusive Ji Qingyi, was merely a supporter?

"The Human Immortal Sect is not a great sect native to the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm; like the Holy Sect, it was spread here from other Immortal Realms."

"That person, destined to become an unparalleled existence, is an extraordinary successor from the Human Immortal Sect's Main Lineage, who has slumbered through countless eras."

"His physique is also one of the terrifying physiques ranked in the top ten among the Three Thousand Physiques, and his background is taboo."

"One could even say that his background is not inferior to Jun Xiaoyao." Ji Qingyi said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi felt uncomfortable.

She disliked anyone being compared to Jun Xiaoyao.

When in her mind, Jun Xiaoyao will always be the man standing at the very summit, overlooking all living beings.

"You won't hand over the Immortal Embryo, nor fuse with it; is it that you wish to leave the Immortal Embryo for Jun Xiaoyao?" Ji Qingyi speculated.

Jiang Shengyi's expression changed not, yet a slight ripple flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Clearly, Ji Qingyi had guessed correctly.

"Such a precious Immortal Embryo, if you were to fuse with it, combined with your Innate Dao Embryo, you would undoubtedly achieve Extreme Realm Ascension, and people like Dragon Void Phoenix would meet defeat before you."

"Yet you willingly suffer pursuit, encirclement, and injuries solely to keep the Immortal Embryo for Jun Xiaoyao?"

Ji Qingyi sighed; she was genuinely surprised, beyond her expectations.

The Immortal Embryo, such a precious thing, is enough to make siblings turn against each other and friends kill one another.

Jiang Shengyi desperately held onto the Immortal Embryo, not for herself, but wished to preserve it for Jun Xiaoyao.

What kind of deep-seated emotion would drive someone to make such a self-sacrificial choice?
