SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Nine Heavenly Realms, Nine Emperor Paths.

Each Emperor Path will produce one Emperor Path King, representing the highest combat power of that path.

In a sense, it also represents the fortune of this celestial realm.

Whoever becomes the Emperor Path King will receive the blessing of fortune from the Desolate Celestial Realm.

This blessing, though seemingly ethereal, truly exists.

And now, as the Desolate Celestial Realm's Emperor Path has progressed to this point.

Only two people have the greatest possibility of earning the title of Emperor Path King.

Ye Guchen, ranked first on the Desolate Sacred Ranking.

And the divine son of the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao.

Earlier, Ye Guchen's challenge to Jun Xiaoyao had already spread throughout the entire Emperor Path.

So now, the remaining prodigies have not left the Desolate Battlefield.

They are all anticipating the battle between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao.

They also want to know on whose head the title of Emperor Path King will ultimately fall.

"I somehow feel that the Jun family's divine son has a greater chance of winning, that furious divine technique was simply heaven-destroying and earth-shattering."

"I think so too, but Ye Guchen is also impressive, cutting off the past and reshaping his true self requires great courage and determination that not everyone possesses."

"That's right, Ye Guchen has also been hiding his true strength, when he fights others, he almost always kills with a single sword strike..."

"This is getting interesting..."

Inside the Desolate Battlefield, many prodigies were discussing.

They were closely monitoring the movements of both Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao.

On Jun Xiaoyao's side, he temporarily placed Jiang Shengyi in a spirit-rich cave.

At this recovery rate, it would take only a few days for Jiang Shengyi to regain consciousness.

The rest of the Jun family members, Jiang family prodigies, and followers had all gathered together.

Jun Xiaoyao briefly told everyone about what had happened before he stepped onto the Emperor Path.

Including the specific details of the Immortal Battle.

After hearing this, everyone sighed in amazement.

They never expected that after they stepped onto the Emperor Path, such major events would occur in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

Afterward, Yi Yu asked: "Young Master, if Ye Guchen wants to battle with you, why doesn't he come find you directly?"

Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears to listen.

After all, at this point, what everyone cared about most was the battle between these two supreme powers.

Jun Xiaoyao pondered briefly, then said: "That's because he's waiting for me to find him."

"Hmm?"

This answer left everyone puzzled and confused.

Jun Xiaoyao continued: "He wants to give me time to adjust my state and mood, and then meet him in battle with my most perfect form."

"I see." Everyone suddenly understood.

This Ye Guchen was quite honorable in martial matters.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind much, as he had no need to adjust his state and could fight under any circumstances.

However, Ye Guchen's attitude did earn a bit of admiration from Jun Xiaoyao.

Such an opponent was worthy of his serious attention.

Unlike someone like Long Xuhuang, whom Jun Xiaoyao felt was a waste of breath to even speak to.

In the following days, Jun Xiaoyao didn't rush to find Ye Guchen for battle, but instead stayed by Jiang Shengyi's side.

Jun Xiaoyao himself couldn't precisely define what he felt for Jiang Shengyi.

Guilt, pity, perhaps both.

The road ahead was long, and Jun Xiaoyao's goals were grand.

He still needed to reach the end of the Ultimate Ancient Path, to find the Heavenly Book, to find the hidden branch of the Jun family.

He also needed to find his father, go to the Alien Realm, the Burial Realm, and the Realm Sea.

Before all that, he wouldn't stop for anyone.

But Jiang Shengyi was indeed someone who tugged at one's heartstrings.

Looking at Jiang Shengyi's quiet and serene beautiful face as she slept, Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

Several days later, Jiang Shengyi's curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then, her clear eyes, like autumn water, slowly opened.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing the person she had been thinking of day and night, Jiang Shengyi's lips formed a weak smile.

Although her body was generally fine now, she still needed time to fully recover.

"Xiaoyao, I had a dream, a very long dream. In the dream, we traveled throughout the celestial realm and the mortal world."

"We went to see mountains, to see the sea, walked among the stars, and wandered through the mortal realm..."

Jiang Shengyi's smile was as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming.

"Sister Shengyi, I..." Jun Xiaoyao wanted to say something.

But Jiang Shengyi gently raised her crystalline arm and lightly placed her jade finger on Jun Xiaoyao's lips.

"There's no need to say anything. Everything was my own choice, and I don't need you to do anything for me," Jiang Shengyi said.

She wouldn't ask Jun Xiaoyao to treat her in any particular way.

She knew that Jun Xiaoyao's journey was toward the stars and the sea.

She couldn't burden Jun Xiaoyao.

In fact, she was willing to be Jun Xiaoyao's right-hand, silently helping him from behind, without expecting anything in return.

Seeing such a considerate Jiang Shengyi, even Jun Xiaoyao's emotions were slightly moved.

He said: "Sister Shengyi, when I return from the Ancient Path, I will give you a promise."

Hearing these words, Jiang Shengyi's body trembled, and her eyes flashed with crystalline tears.

Would it be the promise she hoped for in her heart?

Later, seeing that Jiang Shengyi had awakened, Jiang Luoli and others also came to visit.

"Sister Shengyi, I'm so glad you're alright." Jiang Luoli threw herself into Jiang Shengyi's arms.

"Luoli." Jiang Shengyi stroked Jiang Luoli's little head.

At this moment, the barrier between them seemed to dissolve.

"It's all because Luoli is useless, I couldn't save Sister Shengyi." Jiang Luoli felt very guilty.

She felt that she was truly a useless little shortie.

"It's not your fault." Jiang Shengyi smiled.

"Fortunately, everything ended well without any major issues. If Xiaoyao can defeat Ye Guchen, that would be even more perfect," Jun Moxiao said with a slight smile.

"With cousin Xiaoyao's cultivation, there shouldn't be any problem," Jun Lingcang also smiled, showing great confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, are you going to battle with that reincarnated sword demon?" Jiang Shengyi asked with concern.

"It's nothing to worry about," Jun Xiaoyao said dismissively.

He did indeed view Ye Guchen as a true opponent, but that didn't mean Ye Guchen could threaten him.

"By the way, why do I feel like my body is somehow better than before?" Jiang Shengyi was very puzzled.

Although she was weak now, she could feel that her physical body had undergone a qualitative change, improving by more than one level compared to before.

"That's because Xiaoyao refined the sacred body blood from his heart into your body," Jun Moxiao said.

"Xiaoyao, how could you be so reckless? Are you having any problems yourself?"

Jiang Shengyi's expression changed slightly, her jade hand touching Jun Xiaoyao's chest, carefully examining.

She feared that her problems might have caused some issues with Jun Xiaoyao's body.

If that were the case, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Ahem, you two continue chatting, I'll leave first," Jun Moxiao coughed dryly.

"I'll leave too," Jun Lingcang smiled.

"I'm out of here," the Nine-Headed Lion said mischievously, with a sly grin.

"Oh my, I really don't want to be a third wheel!" Little Magic Fairy also exclaimed as she left.

Only Jiang Luoli remained, with a hint of dimness in her big eyes.

She forced a smile and said: "Then Luoli will leave too."

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Shengyi grabbed her wrist and said: "Luoli, you haven't seen Xiaoyao for a long time either, stay and chat for a while."

Jiang Luoli bit her lip slightly and nodded her little head.

It was impossible to say she didn't miss Jun Xiaoyao.

She just felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

Jiang Luoli gave Jun Xiaoyao a resentful look, feeling a bit downhearted.

Looking at the two beauties before him, one tall and one small.

Jun Xiaoyao felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Even though he hadn't done anything, why did he always feel somewhat like a scoundrel?
