Chapter 149 - 149: The Heavenly Dao Tower Opens, Phenomena Manifest, a Clash Between the Jun Family's Divine Child and the Ji Family's Divine Maiden
The Great Elder wanted to cry but had no tears; his intestines were green with regret.
At this moment, some cultivator casually remarked, "If it weren't for that Yin-Yang Holy Son provoking the Jun Family's Divine Child into braving the three trials, we might not have witnessed such a miracle."
"Exactly! The Jun Family's Divine Child couldn't be bothered to attempt the trials before, but those two Saint Children just had to provoke him. Truly overestimating themselves."
When the Great Elder heard this, he was absolutely furious.
He turned his head, his gaze fixed deadly on the two.
The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan, both deathly pale, stammered, "We only did it for Brother Ji Xuan and the Saintly Spirit Academy..."
"Incompetent to achieve anything, yet more than capable of ruining things!" The Great Elder flicked his sleeve.
The two men's chests shook, and they spat out blood, sent flying once again.
If not for the fact that the two were backed by the Yin-Yang Cult and the Great Xia Dynasty, coupled with their status as Saint Children, the Great Elder would have had the heart to slap them to death.
The Great Elder's figure flashed, and he directly掠到 the lakeside.
As far as the eye could see, the entire lake was dyed red with blood. Golden-Horned Flood Dragons, belly up, floated on the lake's surface, dead beyond dead.
"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, your death is so tragic..." The Great Elder saw a Golden-Horned Flood Dragon and couldn't help but wail in grief.
That was his favorite Golden-Horned Flood Dragon; he had even given it a name.
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected that the Golden-Horned Flood Dragons in this lake were actually raised by the Great Elder.
If he had known earlier...
It probably wouldn't have made any difference.
"Great Elder, my condolences," Jun Xiaoyao sighed faintly.
The Great Elder took a deep breath. He wanted to flare up in anger but forcibly suppressed it.
At least Jun Xiaoyao's attitude was still decent.
However, in the next moment, Jun Xiaoyao said, "These flood dragons all contain dragon bloodline; they're not bad ingredients."
With that said, Jun Xiaoyao made a grabbing motion with his hand, and surging mana collected all the Golden-Horned Flood Dragons into his spatial artifact.
The Great Elder was utterly dumbfounded.
A devil!
In his eyes, this Jun Family Divine Child was an out-and-out devil!
Now he finally understood why the Dean and others had warned him to avoid Jun Xiaoyao like the plague.
"The Jun Family's Divine Child is a ruthless one..." Many cultivators gulped.
Moreover, from this day forward, the three trials of the Saintly Spirit Academy were equivalent to nothing.
Apart from the first trial, the Sky Ladder, which still existed, the second and third trials were effectively defunct.
"As expected of the Jun Family's Divine Child. It's understandable that Ji Xuan's Dao heart collapsed when he faced him," Hua Xiqing said, dazed.
Looking at that figure enveloped in divine radiance, as transcendent and peerless as a banished immortal, Hua Xiqing couldn't help but part her lips and say, "Forgive Xiqing's presumptuousness, but would I be qualified to discuss the Dao with the Divine Child later?"
Hearing her words, many academy disciples were stunned.
Their academy's Saintess was going to betray them?
"Hua Xiqing, you..." The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan's faces were aghast, unwilling to believe it.
Betraying her comrades so quickly?
"The Divine Child possesses peerless grace; he is not someone we can contend against. There must be a reason why the Divine Child crippled Senior Brother Ji Xuan," Hua Xiqing explained.
"That's right, it must be so. I think our academy has misunderstood the Divine Child," a beautiful Eldest Senior Sister of the academy said.
"Indeed, it is so..." A group of female academy disciples voiced their support.
As for the male disciples, they shivered one by one, angry, trembling, and cold.
This world that valued looks was filled with malice towards them.
Jun Xiaoyao was also speechless.
If "harvesting leeks" counted as a reason, then he was indeed a reasonable person.
"If there's time later, I don't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.
"Many thanks to the Divine Child." Hua Xiqing showed a joyful surprise.
She had originally thought that with Jun Xiaoyao's high standards, he might reject her.
She hadn't expected him to agree.
"The Divine Child is truly a gentle person," Hua Xiqing thought to herself.
Just then, from the depths of the Saintly Spirit Academy, a hazy Dao Sound suddenly spread out, making those who heard it feel as if they were about to attain enlightenment.
Auspicious omens descended from the heavens, phenomena manifested, and immortal light shone in the sky.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower is about to open!" Many young cultivators showed excitement in their eyes.
"Is it finally opening?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
Breaking the records of the three trials meant nothing to him.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't think he had done anything particularly amazing; it was too simple for him.
The Heavenly Dao Tower was Jun Xiaoyao's true goal.
Prodigies from all major factions and young cultivators all headed towards the Heavenly Dao Tower.
The Heavenly Dao Tower was located in the depths of the Saintly Spirit Academy.
Viewed from afar, it pierced the clouds, carrying an ancient meaning, as if it had been passed down from distant antiquity.
Around the Heavenly Dao Tower, profound runes were imprinted in the void, illusory figures of various auspicious beasts manifested, and hazy immortal light flowed.
Many cultivators, just by looking at it, felt as if they themselves had been sublimated.
Upon arriving, Jun Xiaoyao also sensed a profound Dao rhythm.
But at the same time, an imposing pressure was faintly released from within the Heavenly Dao Tower.
The Great Elder spoke, "Everyone, this time, the Heavenly Dao Tower will be presided over by this old man. The tower will autonomously emit an imposing pressure. Those with insufficient cultivation or inadequate opportunities will be unable to enter."
Hearing this, many young cultivators' faces turned pale.
So, if one's talent wasn't enough, they wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the trial?
"I'm going first." The Little Peng King with Golden Wings directly shot out with a flap of his wings.
With his personality, he always rushed to the front no matter what he did.
And this time, he also wanted to prove himself – that he was not weaker than Jun Xiaoyao!
As soon as the Little Peng King came within ten li of the Heavenly Dao Tower, he could no longer fly in the air.
That imposing pressure was not to be underestimated.
The Little Peng King began to earnestly comprehend.
Suddenly, behind him, it was as if a golden Great Peng soared into the sky, carrying a Dao rhythm.
"It has this kind of effect too!" Many cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
"Excellent! I didn't expect this to be an opportunity as well; it has given me some enlightenment for my future cultivation path." The Little Peng King showed a joyful expression.
Now, many prodigies couldn't hold back any longer and directly stepped forward.
Fa Hai walked over. Behind him, the illusory figure of an ancient Buddha emerged.
However, that ancient Buddha seemed to be faintly shrouded in a layer of blood-red light, carrying a somewhat ominous meaning.
"Huh, that Little Western Heaven Buddha's Son..." The Great Elder showed surprise in his eyes.
Additionally, Ye Xingyun, Wu Mingyue, Jun Lingcang, and others all made their moves.
Each of them displayed astonishing phenomena.
Especially Jun Lingcang; behind him, it was as if a Double-Pupil Supreme stood, and with the opening and closing of his eyes, chaos was reformed.
Ye Xingyun, on the other hand, was astounding.
Behind him, a terrifying figure seemingly clad in the sun, moon, and stars emerged.
The aura of that phenomenon was actually no weaker than Jun Lingcang's.
"Why is the aura of that Ye Family's Star Monarch Physique so powerful?" Some cultivators also noticed, extremely surprised.
"Hmm? There's something strange about this Ye Xingyun..." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was profound.
Seeing the phenomenon manifested by Ye Xingyun, Jun Xiaoyao felt that he might be a person of great destiny like Xiao Chen, Yang Pan, and the others.
"Could it be a reincarnated expert, a reborn Supreme?" Jun Xiaoyao guessed.
If utilized well, perhaps he could "harvest" Ye Xingyun again.
The surrounding numerous cultivators were also paying attention to Jun Xiaoyao.
With Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent, what kind of strange phenomenon would he manifest? However, just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to step forward.
In the distance, a white lotus floated over. Seated upon it was a hazy figure in green, with a transcendent and dust-lifting temperament like that of a female immortal.
"That is... the Ji Family's Divine Maiden!" Cries of astonishment arose.
Many people looked towards Jun Xiaoyao again.
Because of Ji Xuan, Jun Xiaoyao and the Ji Family could be considered to have a feud.
Now that the Ji Family's Divine Maiden had appeared, what kind of sparks would be generated between her and the Jun Family's Divine Child?
Many people were looking forward to it.
