SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"What celestial realm sent this heavenly sound of the Dao?"

"The Desolate Celestial Realm, it's from the Imperial Road of the Desolate Celestial Realm, an anomaly who created their own Dao has appeared!"

"Who exactly is it, who could be so extraordinary, able to walk their own path in this era of great competition where countless contenders vie for supremacy?"

"Such a figure, if born in previous eras, would absolutely possess the qualities to become an immortal!"

"Unfortunately, that anomaly is feared by the Heavenly Dao, which has blocked their path to ascension. Their future path will be cut off."

"It seems the Desolate Celestial Realm indeed produced a formidable figure, but how tragic, a genius who astounded the universe will now fade into obscurity among the masses."

The entire Nine Heavens Celestial Realm was stirred, with many ancient beings and living fossils awakening.

After hearing that heavenly sound of the Dao, their faces also revealed shock.

Many ancient existences turned their gazes toward the Desolate Celestial Realm.

How long had it been since the will of the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm had manifested?

The last time was during the era when foreign realms invaded and the Immortal Court collapsed.

To alarm the will of the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm, it must be an extraordinary event.

But the problem was, what alarmed the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm now.

It wasn't a foreign realm invasion, nor movement in the forbidden zones, nor the churning of the boundary sea.

It was merely because of one person.

This shows that in the eyes of the celestial realm's will.

That person's threat level was comparable to foreign realm invasions and other major events!

Just as the entire Nine Heavens Celestial Realm was boiling with excitement.

Over in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

Above the Jun family ancestral shrine.

The Eighth Ancestor Jun Tianming, along with the Eighteenth Ancestor, Sixteenth Ancestor and others, all had solemn expressions, their eyes filled with cold intent and anger.

"Damn that thieving Heaven, does it really think our Jun family wouldn't dare to act?" The Sixteenth Ancestor cursed, his eyes brimming with rage.

He had the appearance of a ten-year-old child, but the power surging within him seemed about to erupt uncontrollably.

For the Sixteenth Ancestor, with his cultivation and mental state, to lose composure like this showed how truly angered he was.

"What's the use of saying these things now, it's unnecessary," the Eighteenth Ancestor shook his head slightly.

"Back then, even though our Jun family was divided, we almost succeeded, but in the end, it was still this dog-birthed celestial realm's will..." the Sixteenth Ancestor couldn't help but curse.

In the distant past, the Jun family wanted to replace the Supreme Immortal Court and become the ruler of the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm.

But they failed in the end.

The world didn't know the reason why.

Only the Jun family themselves knew.

Besides family division and obstruction from the Supreme Immortal Court, there was also the influence of the celestial realm's will.

Otherwise, a collapsing Supreme Immortal Court alone would have been insufficient to suppress the Jun family's ambitions.

"Forget it, let's not mention past events. In this era of great competition, are we afraid our Jun family won't have opportunities?"

"What we need to focus on now is Xiaoyao's path to ascension," Jun Tianming said.

"Indeed, even though Xiaoyao has extraordinary talent, with this restriction, it will be somewhat of an obstacle for him," the Eighteenth Ancestor said.

He had watched Jun Xiaoyao grow up and had developed a grandfather-grandson-like affection for him.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. If he can't ascend in the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm, then he can go to foreign realms, to the boundary sea, or even to the vast lands beyond the realms. Are we afraid he won't be able to ascend?" Jun Tianming said with imposing majesty.

For an ordinary genius, such restrictions would mean almost no hope of ascension.

But for the Jun family, they had the confidence and ability to send Jun Xiaoyao to more distant places to ascend.

"Haha, exactly so. When Xiaoyao ascends to become an emperor, the celestial realm's will can't do anything to him. If Xiaoyao can become an immortal, then he can overturn this heaven and earth and restructure the order of the world!" the Sixteenth Ancestor laughed.

"I believe that with Xiaoyao's stubborn character, he definitely won't want to escape, but will choose to continue seeking ascension in the celestial realm."

"Then let's see what he chooses, let him be," Jun Tianming said.

"I believe in Xiaoyao, he will definitely succeed, and when he ascends to become an immortal, he'll defy this thieving Heaven!" the Sixteenth Ancestor smiled.

Boom!

At this moment, above the Jun family, lightning flashed and thunder roared, rolling thunderously.

As if their conversation had touched upon some taboo.

"Hmph... just wait..." Jun Tianming and the others merely looked up at the sky with cold smiles, saying nothing more.

The Jun family had been lying low for a long time, waiting for an opportunity.

And Jun Xiaoyao was the key!

At the Desolate Battlefield, by the Heavenly Dao Arena.

All the geniuses were shocked, never expecting things to take such a complete reversal.

One moment, the Heavenly Dao Crown was being bestowed, which if worn, would guarantee ascension to emperor.

But the next moment, they fell from heaven to hell, as Jun Xiaoyao could no longer ascend.

"Did you hear what the Heavenly Dao's voice said? The Jun family's Divine Son has walked his own path."

"Hiss... no wonder the Jun family's Divine Son is so extraordinary, he has already taken that step."

"Truly monstrous talent, but this also means the Jun family's Divine Son can no longer break through and ascend."

"Does that mean the Jun family's Divine Son can only cultivate to the quasi-emperor level at most, unable to truly become an ascended emperor?"

"Although quasi-emperor is already very powerful, in this era of great competition, it's still not enough."

Many geniuses were whispering and murmuring among themselves.

"How could this happen?" Jiang Shengyi and others changed expression, not having anticipated this turn of events.

Meanwhile, Ji Qingyi, who was watching from the side, showed an expression that suggested she had expected this.

"Previously, when Jun Xiaoyao was in the lower realm, he walked his own path, which was destined to be a path that defied heaven. The heavens would not allow this path to exist."

"Now that the heavenly voice has spoken and imposed restrictions, Jun Xiaoyao will find it difficult to break through, and he will no longer pose a threat to the Human Immortal Sect's successor," Ji Qingyi mused inwardly.

But strangely, she didn't feel happy about it, her eyes revealing deep contemplation.

The Eternal Aeon Heavenly Maiden also whispered in her heart: "Indeed, the Void Fate One is an existence even the Heavenly Dao fears, and it will never allow him to ascend."

At this moment, among those present, there was no mockery or ridicule toward Jun Xiaoyao.

There was only sighing and regret.

He was clearly a genius who could shake the ancient and illuminate the present, worthy of being recorded in history.

Now, his future path had been forcibly restricted.

Most deadly of all, the celestial realm's will only spoke after the Heavenly Dao Crown had formed.

This was truly killing the person and destroying their heart.

No genius could withstand such a fall, their dao heart would be shaken.

Even Supreme Lord Du Tuo sighed, thinking it was truly a pity.

If the already extraordinary Jun Xiaoyao had merged with the Heavenly Dao Crown, his talent and strength would absolutely have been the most monstrous existence from ancient times to the present, without equal!

Everyone looked at Jun Xiaoyao.

To their surprise, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was very calm.

So calm that there wasn't even a ripple of emotion.

"Could it be that the Jun family's Divine Son appears calm on the outside but is collapsing inside?" some people speculated doubtfully.

"Hehe..."

Finally, Jun Xiaoyao laughed.

This laugh was a cold laugh, a mockery of the heavens.

"My Jun family ancestor, the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, once said: 'The Heavenly Dao's coronation is but a burden, I myself ascend, through countless tribulations to become immortal.'"

"If I, Jun Xiaoyao, wish to become immortal, when have I ever needed the Heavenly Dao's approval?"

Jun Xiaoyao was a transmigrator, with unparalleled talent and a system at his disposal.

Since his emergence, he had swept aside all opposition, never once tasting defeat.

His monstrous talent overshadowed all ages.

Before him, what was Heaven but a trifle, how dare it block his future path?

Hearing these words, all the geniuses present had extremely interesting expressions.

Among the younger generation, perhaps only Jun Xiaoyao dared to defy the heavens.

"Heaven, do you want to prove that I can't defeat you? Then let's make a wager."

Jun Xiaoyao raised his head, looking up at the vast starry sky, his tone calm yet bursting with world-shaking words.

"When this Divine Son ascends to become immortal, I will make the Heavenly Dao extinct and restructure the order of heaven and earth!"

As these words fell, the universe and all creation trembled!
