SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"Lord Divine Child is finally going to start condensing immortal energy," Mu Yuehuan thought secretly.

Beside him, the Golden-Winged Peng Prince spoke up: "Divine Child, as luck would have it, the Hell Star of Tiger Cage Pass, the twelfth gate of the Imperial Road, is about to open. There you might be able to obtain immortal marrow for condensing immortal energy."

"Hell Star, immortal marrow?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

He wasn't very familiar with the Hell Star, but he did know about immortal marrow.

It was a cultivation material of even higher grade than immortal source.

Even Supreme Powerhouses would use immortal marrow for cultivation.

However, immortal marrow was extremely rare, difficult to find even in the vast Desolate Celestial Realm.

So naturally, it couldn't be used as currency like divine source or immortal source.

But Jun Xiaoyao hadn't expected that there would be a place on the Imperial Road where one could obtain immortal marrow.

As for the Hell Star, just from its name, it sounded like an extremely dangerous training ground.

But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care. If he dared to enter the Bronze Immortal Palace, one of the seven great wonders, why would he fear a mere Hell Star?

"By the way, Lord Divine Child, Jade Buddha Child and the others are also at Tiger Cage Pass, waiting for the Hell Star to open," Mu Yuehuan said.

"Perfect timing. I'll settle accounts with them and end their lives," Jun Xiaoyao said in a calm tone.

His words were casual, as if he were talking about slaughtering pigs or dogs.

"Only Lord Divine Child could have such boldness," Mu Yuehuan admired wholeheartedly.

The Golden-Winged Peng Prince then said, "I hope the Divine Child will let me deal with Jade Buddha Child first."

After refining the True Blood of Kun Peng, the Golden-Winged Peng Prince's aura had grown much stronger than before.

"As you wish," Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind.

After resting for several more days, Jun Xiaoyao rode the Nine-Colored Peacock and set off with Mu Yuehuan and the Golden-Winged Peng Prince.

When they left Jade Gate Pass, many prodigies were watching them, and many people followed behind them, wanting to see a good show.

"Jun family's Divine Child confronting the three minor giants, this will be quite a spectacle," these prodigies revealed excited expressions.

Traveling from the ninth gate to the twelfth gate, Jun Xiaoyao and his companions spent several months.

During this time, Mu Yuehuan told Jun Xiaoyao some things about the Hell Star.

Regarding the formation of the Hell Star, there were rumors that it was because too many prodigies had died on the Imperial Road.

The unwillingness, resentment, anger, hatred, and jealousy of these prodigies in life converged into a tremendous force of grievance and karma, eventually forming the Hell Star.

On the Hell Star, there were many murderous demons, magical beasts, vengeful spirits, and so on, making it an extremely dangerous trial ground.

Of course, there were also many precious treasures, including the immortal marrow that could assist in condensing immortal energy.

In short, dangers and opportunities coexisted.

Such a dangerous place, even when described by Mu Yuehuan, made her expression solemn.

But Jun Xiaoyao's gaze remained calm, not concerned in the slightest.

To him, such dangerous places were no different from his own backyard.

Several months later, Jun Xiaoyao finally arrived at Tiger Cage Pass, the twelfth gate of the Imperial Road.

Looking around, Tiger Cage Pass was magnificent and imposing, silent and solemn upon the stars.

Compared to the previous gates, Tiger Cage Pass appeared more primitive and ancient, with dark and mottled walls, carrying a sense of vicissitude after being washed by the years.

Before Jun Xiaoyao had fully entered Tiger Cage Pass, he had already attracted attention from all directions.

"It's the Jun family's Divine Child, he's here!"

"Indeed, his mount is truly Kong Xuan."

"And the Golden-Winged Peng Prince and Mu Yuehuan, two prodigies, have actually become the Divine Child's attendants."

Jun Xiaoyao's arrival undoubtedly ignited the atmosphere of the entire Tiger Cage Pass.

Even the soldiers guarding the city secretly marveled.

Never had the arrival of any prodigy caused such a commotion and response as Jun Xiaoyao.

Is this the influence of the top-tier prodigy of the younger generation in the Desolate Celestial Realm?

Jun Xiaoyao entered Tiger Cage Pass with a calm and composed expression.

No soldier was foolish enough to stop him.

After entering Tiger Cage Pass, Jun Xiaoyao could feel that there were many powerful auras lurking.

Although they were nothing in his eyes, they were considered top-tier prodigies on the Imperial Road.

"Indeed, the further along the Imperial Road, the stronger the prodigies encountered," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

However, what surprised him was that he couldn't sense the auras of Jade Buddha Child and the others.

Many female cultivators around looked at Jun Xiaoyao with intense admiration in their eyes.

They had seen Jade Buddha Child, the Third Prince of the Sea God, and others before, all extremely handsome men.

But compared to Jun Xiaoyao, they were like fireflies to the bright moon, with no basis for comparison.

Jun Xiaoyao possessed a perfect level of handsomeness.

Some male cultivators also had admiration in their eyes, viewing Jun Xiaoyao as a goal to strive for.

Of course, not everyone was like this.

Jun Xiaoyao could also sense some coldness and hostility.

In the crowd, there was a being glowing with golden light, with many profound patterns engraved on its surface, like a person carved from metal.

"It's him, Jin Guxuan, rumored to be formed from a supreme Dao gold, and a good friend of that Geng Metal Stone Spirit," some people were slightly surprised when they saw this being.

On the other side, a beautiful woman in a red dress looked at Jun Xiaoyao with coldness in her eyes.

Although Jun Xiaoyao's appearance made her momentarily dazed, it couldn't change her stance.

"It's Red Ling Jiao, she's a follower of Huang Jiuyan, an ancient prodigy from the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain."

Huang Jiuyan was considered one of the top-tier prodigies on this Imperial Road, practicing the Phoenix Rebirth Art. Each time he was brought to the brink of death and survived, it was a transformation.

It was said that Huang Jiuyan had already transformed seven times, and if he completed all nine transformations, he would have the terrifying potential to compete for the title of Imperial Road King.

"The Jun family's Divine Child is indeed extraordinary, but when my master completes his nine transformations, he will definitely not fear the Jun family's Divine Child," Red Ling was very confident in Huang Jiuyan.

Additionally, there was a young man with blue wings on his back, looking at Jun Xiaoyao with contemplation in his eyes.

"It's Qing Hong, a follower of Long Xu Huang and the heir of the Azure Peng Clan," some people glanced at him.

This was another follower of a top-tier prodigy.

Clearly, many people ahead on the Imperial Road were paying attention to Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao had unconsciously become a Damocles sword hanging over the heads of all prodigies on the Imperial Road.

Jun Xiaoyao posed a huge threat to all prodigies who wanted to compete for the title of Imperial Road King.

In the shadows, a person wearing a black robe and cloak was also observing Jun Xiaoyao.

Unlike Red Ling, Qing Hong, Jin Guxuan, and others, he hadn't attracted the attention of the surrounding prodigies.

"Jun family's Divine Child, so this is the Ancient Sacred Physique of this generation. His aura is indeed not weak, but... my master is still stronger."

When mentioning this master, the black-robed person's tone carried a fanatical color.

His master was destined to step on the remains of the Ancient Sacred Physique and ascend to the peak throne of this era!
