SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Beyond the Hangu Pass, deep in the starry sky.

Looking back at the Hangu Pass, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze and let out a light sigh.

On the Ultimate Ancient Path, his troubles would not be few.

If he traveled with Jiang Shengyi and others, it would inevitably affect them.

Moreover, entering the Ultimate Ancient Path required passing through the Dragon Gate.

At that time, they might not even end up in the same place.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao had already planned to travel alone.

"Sorry, Shengyi, Luoli, and everyone else, I'll wait for you on the path ahead..."

Jun Xiaoyao knew that whether it was the sequences from the Jun family or Jiang Shengyi and the other women.

They were all stubborn, with their own perseverance.

Traveling the ancient path with Jun Xiaoyao would provide protection and safety, but this might not necessarily be good for them.

Everyone needs to be tempered.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, calming his emotions.

He was never one to indulge in melancholy.

"Continue forward, my path is still long," Jun Xiaoyao became at peace, smiling slightly.

His game with the Heavenly Dao had just begun!

...

The desolate universe seemed endless.

Several months had passed since Jun Xiaoyao left Hangu Pass.

He had been traversing through the starry void.

Having obtained the complete Space Book, Jun Xiaoyao was extremely proficient in the Way of Space.

The Way of Space combined with the Kun Peng's extreme speed made Jun Xiaoyao's velocity dozens of times faster than some starry vessels.

"I've already traveled far from the Imperial Path of the Barren Celestial Domain, but still haven't reached the Dragon Gate?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Along the way, he recalled the story of Laozi leaving through the Hangu Pass.

The last gate of the Imperial Path was also called Hangu Pass.

Perhaps the Laozi from Earth had once walked this starry Imperial Path, leaving behind a vague legend?

Shaking his head slightly, Jun Xiaoyao focused his thoughts.

At this moment, faint voices came from ahead.

Jun Xiaoyao looked forward and saw numerous talented cultivators traversing through the starry void ahead.

They were of various races, wearing strange attire, with different auras.

Obviously, these cultivators were not all beings from the Barren Celestial Domain.

Many had come from Imperial Paths of other celestial domains.

Further ahead stood an immense bronze gate.

This bronze gate, tens of thousands of feet high, stood in the depths of the universe, emanating an ancient primordial aura.

On the surface of the bronze gate were carved numerous lifelike true dragons, which seemed alive under the reflection of starlight.

"This is the Dragon Gate," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Dragon Gate, named after the carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Those talented individuals who could cross the Imperial Path and reach the Dragon Gate were all outstanding among humans.

They were like carps, and crossing this Dragon Gate gave them the opportunity to transform into dragons riding the wind and clouds.

Of course, whether they would become dragons or corpses buried on the ancient path depended on their own strength and luck.

At this moment, these talents who had reached the Dragon Gate were entering one after another.

Each time a cultivator entered, the Dragon Gate would light up with the radiance of the Great Dao.

Some people could trigger several dozen feet of Dao radiance, while others could trigger several hundred feet.

The Dragon Gate was not just a portal to the Ultimate Ancient Path.

It was also an ancient artifact, capable of initially detecting the talent and strength of geniuses.

According to different levels of talent, the degree of Dao radiance triggered also differed.

Generally, talents at the level of minor giants were enough to trigger a thousand feet of Dao radiance.

In front of the Dragon Gate, many talents were not rushing to enter, but were observing and evaluating those who did.

"Tsk tsk, I heard that some time ago, a Holy Son from the Ancient Lan Holy Sect entered the Dragon Gate and triggered a full five thousand feet of Dao radiance."

"What, five thousand feet? Isn't that comparable to five minor giants?" a cultivator asked in surprise.

"That's nothing. Have you heard of Brahma, the reincarnated Ancient Buddha from the Western Heaven Sect of the Mysterious Celestial Domain?"

"I've heard about him too. That Brahma is terrifyingly powerful, actually triggering twenty thousand feet of Dao radiance, accompanied by the Buddhist light phenomenon. He's truly a forbidden one among the forbidden..."

When discussing forbidden talents, these cultivators' eyes showed a sense of awe.

Being able to trigger ten thousand feet of light from the Dragon Gate was enough to be comparable to a forbidden talent.

Twenty thousand feet meant being forbidden among the forbidden.

Hearing these talents' discussions, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm as water.

"Indeed, in this era of great contention, all kinds of prodigies have appeared, but... that's all they are." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, unconcerned.

His invincible Dao heart was already unwavering.

Not even placing Heaven in his eyes, let alone these young talents.

"Hmm, who is that person, surrounded by immortal radiance, with such profound aura..." Some cultivators also noticed Jun Xiaoyao.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao's temperament was too transcendent, with immortal radiance surrounding him and phenomena encircling him, standing out too much from the crowd.

Anyone could guess that this was definitely an extraordinary figure.

"Could he be another minor giant?"

"The direction he came from seems to be the Barren Celestial Domain?"

"The Barren Celestial Domain? Recently, news from there has spread throughout the entire ancient path."

"That anomaly of the ages, I heard he's the Divine Son of the Jun family, an ancient household."

At the mention of the Barren Celestial Domain, many cultivators from other celestial domains began to talk endlessly.

There weren't many talents from the Barren Celestial Domain present.

Most talents from the Barren Celestial Domain had gathered at Hangu Pass and had not yet set out.

Jun Xiaoyao was among the earliest talents from the Barren Celestial Domain to step onto the Ultimate Ancient Path.

"Who is that young master? His temperament is truly extraordinary." Female cultivators also asked curiously, their eyes shining.

Many gazes fell on Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao was used to it. With a calm expression, he walked toward the Dragon Gate.

"Guess how many feet of Dao radiance that talent from the Barren Celestial Domain will trigger."

"At least a thousand feet, like a minor giant. That aura is too profound."

Jun Xiaoyao's actions undoubtedly attracted attention from all directions.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped halfway into the Dragon Gate.

Instantly, the previously silent Dragon Gate began to rumble and shake.

The Dao radiance began to surge wildly, directly soaring to ten thousand feet!

"What, ten thousand feet? A forbidden talent!"

From all directions, all the Imperial Path talents from various celestial domains showed extreme shock on their faces.

Even a forbidden talent couldn't trigger ten thousand feet of Dao radiance with just half a step.

Unless...

This person was forbidden among the forbidden!

Jun Xiaoyao continued stepping forward, with one foot entering the Dragon Gate.

The Dao radiance emitted by the Dragon Gate also surged like a geyser.

Twenty thousand feet!

Fifty thousand feet!

One hundred thousand feet!

Two hundred thousand feet!

Finally, it directly surged to one million feet!

An incomparably brilliant pillar of light rose from the Dragon Gate, illuminating the entire desolate dark universe!

The entire Ultimate Ancient Path could see this brilliant radiance!

All the talents outside the Dragon Gate were stunned.

Ten thousand feet qualified as a forbidden talent.

Twenty thousand feet qualified as forbidden among the forbidden.

Then what did one million feet count as?

But before these talents could recover from their shock.

Jun Xiaoyao's other foot stepped into the Dragon Gate.

At this point, the Dao radiance released from the Dragon Gate could no longer be measured accurately.

It seemed to illuminate the three thousand universes!

At the same time, the lifelike true dragons carved on the Dragon Gate began to awaken.

In the end, a full hundred dragon shadows detached from the Dragon Gate, raising their heads to roar, shaking the entire Ultimate Ancient Path!

As if offering a salute for the birth of a king!
