Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Jiang Shengyi’s Arrival. Ancient Divine Weapon, Azure Mirror.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Great Wild Forest…

Dragons with verdant scales were soaring in the air.

On the leading dragon was Long Bichi in a haughty stance.

She was clothed in cyan armor which wrapped her slender and pliable body. Her face was beautiful yet still made her seem heroic.

The two cyan dragon horns protruding from her head were faintly glowing like jasper carvings.

“The supreme treasure will open soon. I want to see if that Divine Child of the Jun Family truly possesses deity-like powers.”

She wasn’t belittling Jun Xiaoyao, but she didn’t think that Jun Xiaoyao was undefeatable either.

After all, geniuses were arising from great disputes in this world, while kings were fighting for domination. Who was qualified to call themselves invincible?

Since there was nobody who could, it meant that Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t be invincible.

Long Bichi felt that even if she couldn’t suppress Jun Xiaoyao, she could at least successfully retreat.

Aside from Long Bichi from the Lair of Zulong, there were also the top-notch Far ancient imperial families: the aces from the Nine-headed Lion Clan.

Powerful factions like the Sky-devouring Swallows also existed.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others were ready to set off for Nantian City.

As soon as they stepped out of the void, they immediately attracted gazes from all directions.

It couldn’t be helped. With Jun Xiaoyao’s current popularity, he would attract all eyes wherever he would go as long as people could recognize him.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t care either way.

At that moment, a woman’s gentle voice could be heard.

“It’s been a while, Xiaoyao.”

Upon hearing the voice, Jun Xiaoyao stopped and turned around.

Several people were venturing across the sky on a flying boat, headed by a young woman in snow-white clothes. Her fluttering hair was as smooth as silk, and her clothes were fluttering in the wind.

Her fairy-like visage was crystal clear as if it was exuding brilliance. Her eyebrows were like daisies on a distant mountain, while her eyes were like beautiful poetry. She was gorgeous, infused with the temperament of an otherworldly sense of beauty.

Perhaps it was because she had the Innate Energy Vessel, but she was naturally one with the world. Thus, she gave off an incomparably harmonious and natural feeling to others.

If this lady wasn’t Jiang Shengyi, who else could she be?

“That’s the divine lady of the Jiang Family…” The eyes of many shifted over to her.

Many male cultivators were shocked and left slightly dumbfounded.

“Lil…” Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak.

Jiang Shengyi snorted gently as if to remind him of something.

Jun Xiaoyao felt compelled to address her differently. “Shengyi.”

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Shengyi smiled. Her teeth were shining.

Although she was much more mature than Jiang Luoli, she was still a beautiful woman in her prime. She didn’t act too mature or old-fashioned either.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t expect that the one representing the Jiang Family would be Jiang Shengyi. Instead, he expected it to be Jiang Luoli.

Jiang Shengyi laughed at the expression Jun Xiaoyao gave her and said, “What’s the matter? Are you disappointed that Luoli isn’t here?”

Jun Xiaoyao bluntly answered, “Nope.”

He didn’t care about such a short girl.

“She is being forcibly locked up by the family to cultivate. She was so angry for not being able to come to see you this time,” Jiang Shengyi said with a smile.

“Let her cultivate then. Oh, by the way, wanna tag along with us?” asked Jun Xiaoyao.

Jiang Shengyi was his mother’s distant cousin, after all. If possible, he doesn’t mind taking care of her.

“Well, aren’t you mischievous? Who would be taking care of whom?” Jiang Shengyi glared at Jun Xiaoyao with an enchanting look.

She should’ve been the one protecting Jun Xiaoyao.

“Alright then. I’ll be counting on you, Shengyi.” Jun Xiaoyao didn’t care either. After all, he didn’t need anyone to protect him.

The male cultivators gave envious looks at the sight of Jun Xiaoyao casually chatting and laughing with Jiang Shengyi.

Meanwhile, the female cultivators were envious of Jiang Shengyi for being able to talk to Jun Xiaoyao.

For a while, everyone present didn’t know who they should envy.

At that moment, the voice of the Daoji Heavenly Sect’s Venerable One sounded across the sky above Nantian City.

“Ladies and gentlemen, for the opening of the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian, the Immortal Orthodoxy will seal off the realm at this time. Cultivators of the older generation are not allowed to enter!”

“The supreme treasure this time is extremely dangerous. For those who are weak, acknowledge your weakness and retreat. If that’s the case, that’s the only way you’ll live!”

After his voice fell, a dazzling ray of light rose into the air and floated above the Great Wild Forest.

It was a massive mirror with a surface like a pool of clear water.

“That is our family’s divine weapon from the early ancient times: the Azure Mirror!” said Jun Zhangtian.

The Azure Mirror could reflect the appearance of heaven and earth.

Jun Xiaoyao knew that this was because they were afraid that the geniuses of Immortal Orthodoxies would fall directly into the supreme treasure.

If danger were to arise, the Azure Mirror would enable them to provide timely assistance.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his sleeves and said, “We shall depart.”

“Understood!”

Jun Zhanjiang, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Wanjie, and Jun Linglong nodded from behind and responded like respectful servants and maids.

Jiang Shengyi also followed behind along with some geniuses of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Shengyi had a surprised look in her eyes.

“It seems that my nephew has begun to garner his forces.”

…

While Jun Xiaoyao and others were heading to the Great Wild Forest, everyone from Nantian City begun to move.

Although the Venerable One had warned cultivators that the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian was very dangerous, that didn’t make them any less eager about it.

That was the treasure of a Supreme.

Any chance to have it could help them rise above others.

After all, these cultivators weren’t born into major forces. They had to seek out all kinds of resources and opportunities on their own.

Ji Xuan and others of the Ji family also set off with a group of geniuses.

At the gate of Nantian City, Xiao Chen, who was wearing a cloak and hood looked up at Jun Xiaoyao and the others’ receding figures. As he watched, a hint of hatred and determination appeared in his eyes.

“Just you wait, Jun Xiaoyao…”

Xiao Chen then rushed to the Great Wild Forest along with everyone else.

Behind him, Wu Mingyue was following him while hiding in the dark.

She was very worried about Xiao Chen training alone in such a dangerous location like the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Far ancient royal family…

Long Bichi, the Nine-headed Lion, and the Sky-devouring Swallow departed.

The entire area around the Great Wild Forest was getting excited!

Nantian City was only a thousand miles away from the Great Wild Forest.

Within fifteen minutes, Jun Xiaoyao and the others arrived at the outskirts of the Great Wild Forest.

Jun Xiaoyao looked around. A peculiar grey fog lingered throughout the endless forest, shrouding within it an ill omen.

Supreme Aura permeated from the depths of the forest, and there were signs of visions.

There was no doubt that the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian was here.

Only those who possessed the Supreme Token of Yuantian could truly enter the depths of the forest to the supreme treasure.

Even so, everyone else could also find some other thing to help them.

With that in mind, all cultivators were currently rushing towards the Great Wild Forest.

Meanwhile, the roaring of Ancient Remnants and the bellowing of pure-blooded creatures rang out from within the Great Wild Forest.

They were all enraged beings corrupted by the grey fog. Their power levels were higher than usual.

Soon, all kinds of battles erupted.

At that moment, Ji Xuan of the Ji Family arrived. He glanced at Jun Xiaoyao in the distance.

Seemingly feeling his eyes on him, Jun Xiaoyao turned around and also saw Ji Xuan.

“That must be the Ji Family’s junior saint,” Jun Xiaoyao said with indifference.

However, Jun Zhangjian stood nearby. As he gritted his teeth slightly, his eyes became a little gloomy.

“Hmph, he once landed a few moves on me due to his higher cultivation stage. Since then, he went around saying that he has defeated the Jun Family’s sequence.”

Jun Zhangjian said coldly, feeling very discontent deep down.

“Oh, I didn’t know that something like that happened,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

His attention, however, was focused on Ji Xuan’s right arm.

The Hand Bone of the King of Saints…

Should he take it for himself?
