Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning
Chapter 687 - 685: Seventy Gates of the Ancient Road, Ba Star and Desolate Star, Sign-In at the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another half year had gone by.
During these six months, Jun Xiaoyao had been deep within the inner world of the Vessel of Creation, comprehending the Creation World Origin left behind by the Great Emperor.
This was an incredibly complex task.
The rules of the World Origin constructed by the Great Emperor were immensely intricate.
For a Saint to try to understand them was nothing short of wishful thinking.
But Jun Xiaoyao was different; his comprehension was so exceptional that calling it demonic would be an understatement.
An ordinary Saint might not be able to comprehend even one ten-thousandth of this World Origin in a hundred years.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao completely mastered it in just half a year.
Then Jun Xiaoyao began to dismantle this massive World Origin and refine it into his own Inner Cosmos.
This does not mean that Jun Xiaoyao is incorporating the rules of the outside Immortal Realm into his Inner Cosmos.
Rather, he uses this World Origin as nourishment to nurture his Inner Cosmos.
It's like putting firewood into a stove; the flames grow stronger, while the firewood turns to ash.
At a certain moment, Jun Xiaoyao's body shook.
He had thoroughly refined this immense Creation World Origin.
In an instant, his Inner Cosmos began to expand intensely once again.
Jun Xiaoyao could also feel that he could hardly repress his growing aura.
"It's time to breakthrough." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Just as he was about to make a breakthrough, suddenly, there was a disturbance from within Jun Xiaoyao's Spatial Spiritual Artifact.
Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brow and pulled out a transparent bottle.
Inside the bottle were five or six drops of blood exuding golden light.
This was the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Essence Blood.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Essence Blood started to exhibit wisps of dark red spreading within it.
This was definitely not a good omen.
"Could it be… Could it be…" Jun Xiaoyao thought of a possible situation, and his expression turned slightly grim.
It seems that the owner of this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Essence Blood is in trouble.
Although it's not enough to lead to direct demise, the situation is feared to be quite dire, and they are likely nearing a dead end.
"Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, Ba Star…" Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
These secrets, he initially planned to explore slowly after delving deeper into the Ancient Road.
Now, it seems the time allotted to him is running short.
If delayed any further, it might be too late.
"This matter is inextricably linked to the Ba Xing Cang Family. There's no choice, it seems I must set off first." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
He repressed the sign of the breakthrough once more.
Of course, this isn't a bad thing; the deeper the accumulation, the more intense the breakthrough.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao had an inkling that finding the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall might greatly assist him in his breakthrough.
In addition, his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body may undergo a significant transformation.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao no longer hesitated and left seclusion.
As Jun Xiaoyao ended his retreat, Yi Yu and others sensed his presence.
Every one of them arrived.
Yi Yu, Yu Chajuan, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Yan Rumeng, Xia Bingyun, Feng Xiuran, and four Forbidden Daoists were all present.
"Young Master."
"Divine Son!"
Everyone bowed respectfully to Jun Xiaoyao.
"I intend to continue into the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Road. What are your plans?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
With his strength, taking this group along posed no problem.
Yan Rumeng first glanced deeply at Jun Xiaoyao and then sighed lightly, saying, "I'd prefer to train on my own. Being by your side feels like watching scenery."
Upon hearing this, the group resonated with agreement.
The sense of security Jun Xiaoyao offered was overwhelming.
Being by his side, there was no concern for life-threatening danger.
One word: stable.
Although Yan Rumeng was somewhat fond of this safety and didn't want to leave Jun Xiaoyao's side.
But staying by Jun Xiaoyao endlessly meant gaining no experience, thus making the Ultimate Ancient Road meaningless.
Yan Rumeng had already awakened the Celestial Dream Butterfly bloodline and needed more practice.
"Alright, as you wish." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's calm demeanor, Yan Rumeng felt a little frustrated for some reason.
Why was there not even a hint of reluctance or plea to stay?
"Young Master, I also wish to train alone." Yi Yu said.
Now having resolved his heart's knot, Yi Yu's strength had skyrocketed, giving him more confidence.
"I plan to stay within the Vessel of Creation to cultivate first." Yu Chajuan said.
She was also reluctant to keep clinging to Jun Xiaoyao's side.
"I, I, I want to follow Young Master, and help Young Master every day with daily tasks, no, I mean follow Young Master daily, no, I mean being pampered by Young Master daily!" Taiyin Jade Rabbit said adorably.
She had little interest in the training and battles on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
As long as she could be pampered by Jun Xiaoyao every day and have carrots to eat, she was content.
"I need to manage the affairs of the Vessel of Creation, so I won't burden the Young Master." Xia Bingyun said considerately.
In the end, only Taiyin Jade Rabbit stayed by Jun Xiaoyao's side like a pet.
The others all had their own matters to attend to.
"Everyone, see you at the end of the Ancient Road."
Jun Xiaoyao took his leave, hands behind his back, and leisurely departed from the Vessel of Creation.
Yan Rumeng, Yu Chajuan, Xia Bingyun, and Yu Bixuan, one of the four Forbidden Daoists gazed at Jun Xiaoyao's departing figure until he was completely out of sight.
"Hmph, not even a bit of reluctance…" Yan Rumeng stomped her foot, somewhat displeased, but there was a hint of longing in her eyes.
"The Young Master has other important matters; we cannot burden him." Xia Bingyun said.
The women felt a sense of reluctance, which Yi Yu observed and sighed.
The Young Master's talents weren't solely in his cultivation skills.
...
The Ultimate Ancient Road stretched endlessly.
For some Celestial Prides, setting foot on this path was akin to stepping onto the Yellow Springs Road.
Inattentiveness could lead one right into the Yellow Springs.
But for a few forbidden demons.
The Ultimate Ancient Road was nothing more than a stroll, admiring the scenery.
Incidentally, they could crush a swarm of ants beneath their feet.
For Jun Xiaoyao, the significance of the Ultimate Ancient Road was.
To casually walk through it.
Casually slap faces.
Casually kill someone.
Just that.
Jun Xiaoyao set forth again from the Chaotic Star Sea, piloting the Starry Sky Flying Ship, continuing onward.
Along the way, he encountered several Teleportation Arrays, directly transmitting forward, saving time.
In a blink, another half year passed.
During these months, Jun Xiaoyao had encountered various situations, all smoothed out by his hand.
Finally, Jun Xiaoyao reached the seventieth gate of the Ultimate Ancient Road.
At this gate, besides a vast Ancient City suspended in the cosmos, there were also two ancient planets.
Ba Star!
Desolate Star!
Jun Xiaoyao stood on the deck of the Starry Sky Flying Ship, with Taiyin Jade Rabbit perched on his shoulder.
Jun Xiaoyao gazed into the distance at the two stars, his brows tightly knitted.
Because he sensed it.
The energy fields of these two stars were entirely different, worlds apart.
The star faintly surrounded by purple aura had a thick destiny, abundant Spiritual Qi, and various natural Dao Principles and Order Divine Chains interwoven, appearing extremely prosperous.
Whereas the other stellar body was like a desert, devoid of Spiritual Qi, barren to the utmost, akin to a wasteland.
The two ancient planets were like a wealthy family and a street beggar, entirely incomparable.
If Jun Xiaoyao guessed rightly, the planet surrounded by thick purple aura should be Ba Star.
While the barren, nearly lifeless star should be the Desolate Star.
This made Jun Xiaoyao's gaze very cold, and he also felt puzzled.
What exactly had happened to cause such a transformation?
Just as Jun Xiaoyao pondered, a mechanical voice from the system sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, a new check-in location has been refreshed!"
"Please check-in at the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall!"
