Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning
Chapter 692 - 690: The Palace Guardian Lineage, The Truth Behind the Holy Body’s Fall, and the Buried Glory
The old man was so excited he could barely speak.
His cloudy old eyes held a deep admiration, as if he had seen the divine of his faith.
He knelt down to worship Jun Xiaoyao.
The other villagers of the Great Wilderness Village also knelt.
Jun Xiaoyao lightly waved his sleeve.
Everyone discovered that an invisible force was holding them up, preventing them from kneeling.
This made their eyes shine with even more respect.
This young Holy Body must be extraordinary!
"Sir, could you tell me clearly? Honestly, I am quite confused," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
Why were they so confused, and started kneeling to him?
Beside him, Ning Chen and Xiaoxuanxuan felt the aura of Jun Xiaoyao's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and their little faces also showed delight and reverence.
"Someone like Uncle..." Xiaoxuanxuan murmured.
In her heart, Uncle was the man who protected their Great Wilderness Village and stood firm in the world.
And the handsome young gentleman before her was of the same physique as Uncle.
This made Xiaoxuanxuan extremely shocked and joyful.
"Sir, it was presumptuous of this old man," the old man bowed.
His attitude was much more reverent compared to before.
After that, Jun Xiaoyao was respectfully invited into the Great Wilderness Village by the villagers.
The old man's name was Ning Defa.
He looked at the poor and broken dwelling with embarrassment.
"I hope you don't mind the humble abode," Ning Defa said respectfully.
"There's no need for that. I just want to know some truths," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
"Sir, it truly is... the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body..." Ning Defa said tremblingly.
He seemed not yet willing to believe, thinking he was dreaming.
Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, forcing a drop of blood from his palm.
The blood was bright red like a gem, emitting threads of golden radiance, appearing supremely noble.
This drop of blood immediately made some villagers feel as if their own blood was boiling.
Though they only had a thin trace of Desolate Ancient Sacred Body bloodline, they could clearly feel a certain resonance within their blood.
"Indeed, the sir has finally arrived at the Desolate Star!" Ning Defa was beside himself with excitement.
They didn't know how long they had waited, and even thought there wouldn't be another Desolate Ancient Holy Body arriving at the Desolate Star.
"What really happened here?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Ning Defa sighed, and began to reveal some matters to Jun Xiaoyao.
Their Great Wilderness Village are descendants of the Palace Guardian Lineage.
The so-called Palace Guardian Lineage guards the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.
Palace Guardian Lineage are followers of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Their ancestors had once received the bloodline reward from the ancient Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, thus had thin Desolate Ancient Sacred Body bloodline flowing within.
It can be said, the Palace Guardian Lineage are the most loyal protectors and followers of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies are extremely rare, with only a few in each era.
However, the Palace Guardian Lineage has large numbers and is extremely powerful.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall once had an era of extreme glory.
At its peak, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall simultaneously had three Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies, shaking the surroundings, dominating the Immortal Realm.
Even Immortal Influences were terrified, not daring to compete with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.
"I didn't expect the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall to have such a past..." Jun Xiaoyao muttered in shock.
He never imagined there was once such a prosperous Desolate Ancient Sacred Body power.
Jun Xiaoyao then recalled the Fallen Sacred Body he had obtained earlier.
Now it seems, that Fallen Sacred Body might also be aware of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.
Perhaps he believed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall was the pilgrimage ground for Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies.
There, Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies could undergo unprecedented transformations.
"But why did the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall fall silent in the Immortal Realm, and even the Desolate Star become like this?" Jun Xiaoyao asked in confusion.
Ning Defa sighed deeply and said, "Being a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body yourself, you must be aware of the recent cosmic law changes, with ten celestial shackles descending that restricted the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."
"Not only the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, but even our Palace Guardian Lineage faced immense restrictions due to possessing Desolate Ancient Sacred Body bloodline."
"Of course, even so, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall wouldn't have directly declined. It's all because of the ancient Tyrant Body..."
At this point, Ning Defa's old eyes showed a trace of hatred.
The Celestial Tyrant Body is the sworn enemy of Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies.
As loyal followers of Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies, they naturally hated the Celestial Tyrant Body.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression turned solemn, feeling he might be approaching the truth.
"You must have heard when coming to the Desolate Star that an invincible Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was slain by a Celestial Tyrant Body in this Star Domain," Ning Defa's voice choked slightly.
"Yes, is there more to this story?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Certainly, Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies are an unbeatable lineage, even under the celestial shackles, they could not be simply slain by a Celestial Tyrant Body."
"That's because that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was a generation Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, extremely powerful."
"To protect the Immortal Realm, he battled against three Immortal Kings of the Exotic Realm, slaying one Immortal King and critically wounding the other two!"
At this point, Ning Defa's eyes were filled with admiration and fervor.
The other villagers also showed faces of reverence and devoutness.
Jun Xiaoyao was surprised at what he heard.
The Immortal Kings of the Exotic Realm are leaders of the Immortal Emperor Race, all Great Emperor Level powerhouses.
That Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could simultaneously fight against three Immortal Kings, slay one, and critically wound two.
Such an achievement, simply invincible!
"Of course, although he was powerful, he paid a great price and returned critically wounded from the Exotic Realm."
"The most detestable part is, during that era, a Celestial Tyrant Body, sly and cunning, used this chance to provoke a duel of strengths with the Sacred Body."
"That man should not have accepted the challenge, but doing so would damage the Sacred Body's dignity; plus, his pride as a Sacred Body prevented him from backing down."
Ning Defa choked up at this point.
Though strictly speaking they are just followers of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body lineage.
But they have Desolate Ancient Sacred Body bloodline flowing within them.
To some extent, they also count as descendants of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
That Desolate Ancient Sacred Body can be considered their ancestor.
No need for Ning Defa to continue, the outcome was undoubtedly what had become legend.
The only erased part was the battle against three Immortal Kings of the Exotic Realm by the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body alone.
"This legend now altered, surely with considerable help from the Cang family," Jun Xiaoyao suddenly sneered.
Histories are always written by the victors.
Since in the end the Celestial Tyrant Body triumphed, they wouldn't let the Sacred Body's feat of killing an Immortal King from the Exotic Realm be passed down.
"Indeed, the Cang family are descendants of the Celestial Tyrant Body followers, naturally at odds with our Palace Guardian Lineage."
"They altered history, erased the Sacred Body's achievements, attributing all glory to the Celestial Tyrant Body," Ning Defa clenched his fists tightly, bottling up his anger.
The glory of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, accomplishments of killing an Immortal King of the Exotic Realm, unwritten.
Yet that vile Celestial Tyrant Body basks in the fame of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body's name, passed down for eternity.
Subsequent Celestial Tyrant Bodies prided themselves in this heritage.
"Vilest acts grant passage for the vile; noblest deeds pen the epitaph," Jun Xiaoyao said, hands behind his back, indifferently.
This is why Jun Xiaoyao never wished to be a hero.
His deeds, what need is there for worldly judgment?
"Celestial Tyrant Body, brace yourselves; soon you will face a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body with no scruples," Jun Xiaoyao sneered.
He isn't the selfless figure who slew an Immortal King only to bear the name of a loser.
Jun Xiaoyao is not that altruistic; he now wishes to annihilate the Cang family and the Celestial Tyrant Body!
