Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning-Chapter 586 - 584: Jiang Shengyi Awakens, Seeks No Reward—Why Do I Feel Like a Jerk?

Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, nine Emperor's Roads.

Each Emperor's Road will produce an Emperor's Road King, representing the highest combat power of that road.

In a way, it also represents the destiny of this Immortal Realm.

Whoever can become the Emperor's Road King will receive the mysterious destiny's blessing of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

This kind of blessing seems intangible but truly exists.

And as the Emperor's Road of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm progresses to now,

there are only two people who are most likely to obtain the title of Emperor's Road King.

Ye Guchen, who ranks first on the Desolate Celestial Saint List.

And Jun Xiaoyao, the Jun Family's Divine Son.

Previously, Ye Guchen's challenge to Jun Xiaoyao had long spread across the entire Emperor's Road.

So now, the remaining Celestial Pride have not left the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

They are all anticipating the battle between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao.

They also want to know on whose head the title of the final Emperor's Road King will fall.

"Why do I feel like the odds of the Jun Family's Divine Son winning are greater? That furious manner of divine technique is simply world-destroying."

"I think so too, but Ye Guchen is also impressive, severing the past and reshaping his true self; such courage and perseverance are not possessed by everyone."

"Yes, Ye Guchen has also hidden very deeply. In battles, he almost always one-shots his opponent with a single sword..."

"This is getting interesting..."

In the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, many Celestial Pride were discussing.

They were closely watching the movements of Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao.

As for Jun Xiaoyao, he temporarily placed Jiang Shengyi in a cave rich with spiritual energy.

At this recovery speed, Jiang Shengyi should awaken in a few days.

The other Jun Family sequences, Jiang Family Celestial Pride, and other followers gathered together.

Jun Xiaoyao also briefly told everyone about the events before he set foot on the Emperor's Road.

Including the specifics of the Immortal Battle.

After hearing this, everyone was filled with emotion.

Unexpectedly, after they embarked on the Emperor's Road, such significant events happened in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Then, Yi Yu said, "Young Master, since Ye Guchen wants to battle with you, why doesn't he come to find you directly?"

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears to listen.

After all, the most concerning matter for everyone now was the agreed battle between these two supreme figures.

After thinking for a moment, Jun Xiaoyao replied, "That's because he's waiting for me to find him."

"Hmm?"

This answer left everyone somewhat puzzled.

Jun Xiaoyao continued, "He wants to give me time to adjust my state and mood, then face him in the most perfect condition."

"I see." Everyone realized.

This Ye Guchen is quite chivalrous.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind much, as he didn't need to adjust; he could fight at any time.

However, Ye Guchen's attitude indeed made Jun Xiaoyao feel a slight appreciation.

Such an opponent was worthy of his serious attention.

Someone like Dragon Void Phoenix, even saying one more word felt like a waste of breath.

In the following days, Jun Xiaoyao didn't rush to find Ye Guchen for a battle but stayed by Jiang Shengyi's side.

Even Jun Xiaoyao himself wasn't sure of his feelings towards Jiang Shengyi.

Guilt, pity, perhaps all were present.

The road ahead was long, and Jun Xiaoyao had significant goals.

He still had to reach the end of the Ultimate Ancient Road to seek the Celestial Book and the Jun Family Hidden Lineage.

He also had to find his father, travel to the Exotic Realm, the Burial Realm, and the Sea of Realms.

Before then, he would not stop for anyone.

But Jiang Shengyi was truly a person one couldn't help but feel sorry for.

Looking at Jiang Shengyi's calm and serene beautiful face as she slept, Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

A few days later, Jiang Shengyi's curled eyelashes slightly trembled.

Then, like a pool of clear autumn water, her eyes slowly opened.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, and a weak smile appeared on Jiang Shengyi's lips.

Although her body was mostly fine now, she still needed some time to recuperate fully.

"Xiaoyao, I had a dream, a very, very long dream, where we traveled across the Immortal Realm and the human world."

"We watched mountains, looked at seas, walked among the stars, and wandered through the mortal world..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Jiang Shengyi's smile was as lovely as a hundred flowers blooming.

"Sister Shengyi, I..." Jun Xiaoyao wanted to say something.

But Jiang Shengyi tenderly raised her crystal lotus-like arm, gently pressing a jade-like finger on Jun Xiaoyao's lips.

"There's no need to say anything. Everything is of my own choice. I also don't need you, Xiaoyao, to do anything for me." Jiang Shengyi said.

She wouldn't ask Jun Xiaoyao to do anything for her.

She knew that Jun Xiaoyao's journey was toward the stars and the sea.

She couldn't hold him back.

She was even willing to be Jun Xiaoyao's support, silently helping him without asking for anything in return.

Seeing such a considerate Jiang Shengyi, even Jun Xiaoyao felt a slight stirring of emotions.

He said, "Sister Shengyi, when I return from the Ancient Road, I will give you a promise."

Hearing this, Jiang Shengyi's delicate body trembled, with a glimmer of crystal in her eyes.

Would it be the promise she hoped for in her heart?

Afterward, seeing Jiang Shengyi awake, Jiang Luoli and the others also came in to visit.

"Sister Shengyi, it's good that you're okay." Jiang Luoli hugged Jiang Shengyi.

"Luoli." Jiang Shengyi stroked Jiang Luoli's little head.

At this moment, the barrier between them seemed to dissolve.

"It's all Luoli's fault for being useless, unable to save Sister Shengyi." Jiang Luoli blamed herself.

She felt like she was really just a useless little one.

"It's not your fault." Jiang Shengyi smiled.

"Fortunately, the outcome is perfect, with nothing going wrong. If Xiaoyao can defeat Ye Guchen, it will be even more perfect." Jun Mo Xiao smiled slightly.

"With Cousin Xiaoyao's cultivation, there shouldn't be any problem." Jun Lingcang also smiled, confident in Jun Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, you're going to face off against that Sword Demon reincarnation?" Jiang Shengyi was very concerned.

"It's nothing." Jun Xiaoyao was indifferent.

He indeed regarded Ye Guchen as a true opponent, but that didn't mean Ye Guchen could threaten him.

"By the way, I feel like my body is somehow better than before." Jiang Shengyi was very curious.

Though currently weak, she could feel that her flesh body had undergone a qualitative change, improving by more than one level.

"That's because Xiaoyao refined the Sacred Body Essence Blood from his heart into you." Jun Mo Xiao explained.

"Xiaoyao, why are you so reckless? Are you alright?"

Jiang Shengyi's expression changed slightly, her jade hand touching Jun Xiaoyao's chest, carefully inspecting.

She feared that due to her own issues, Jun Xiaoyao's body might have suffered any problems.

If that were the case, she would regret it for a lifetime.

"Ahem, you all talk slowly. I'll take my leave first." Jun Mo Xiao coughed lightly.

"I'm leaving too." Jun Lingcang smiled.

"I'm outta here too." Nine-headed Lion said playfully, with a mischievous grin as he left.

"Oh dear, I really don't need to eat this dog food anymore!" Little Demon Immortal said as she left laughingly.

Only Jiang Luoli remained, her big eyes staring while gently biting her lips.

At that moment, looking at the quietly beautiful faces of Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli, Jun Xiaoyao felt a strange stir in his heart.

Even though he did nothing wrong, he couldn't shake the feeling of being a bit of a scoundrel.
