SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"The end of the ancient path..."

Murmured Xiao Yao Jun, his expression showing no ripples.

That was a place he would definitely reach.

"I've been checking in for so long without getting any nine-star or ten-star rewards. Shouldn't I get lucky next time?" Jun Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

Until now, the highest star level he had received from checking in was an eight-star reward.

If seven and eight-star rewards were already so rare and powerful, then nine and ten-star rewards must be even more extraordinary, possibly world-rare divine abilities or treasures.

Of course, this was a probability issue, and Jun Xiao Yao couldn't control it.

"I just hope this system isn't like that company from my previous life, where the probability of drawing high stars was only zero point something percent," Jun Xiao Yao joked.

Next, Jun Xiao Yao thought about what he needed to do.

"My upcoming goals are, first, continue to condense immortal energy, and second, accumulate foundation to break through to Saint King level," Jun Xiao Yao pondered.

He wasn't accustomed to breaking through level by level.

When breaking through, he preferred to do it thoroughly; halfway breakthroughs were the most uncomfortable.

Although Jun Xiao Yao had the foundation left by the immortal embryo, it wasn't enough for him to break through several minor realms consecutively.

After reaching the Saint level, breaking through even one minor realm was difficult, let alone directly breaking through to Grand Perfection.

Even a prodigy like Jun Xiao Yao needed to accumulate some foundation and various heavenly treasures to achieve this.

Afterward, Jun Xiao Yao continued alone on the ancient path.

Compared to the Emperor's Path of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, the Ultimate Ancient Path was clearly more desolate.

However, since this was the ultimate path where the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm converged, he occasionally saw space ships crossing or cultivators riding strange beasts flying by.

They didn't approach Jun Xiao Yao, each going their own way, extremely cautious.

Even geniuses from the same immortal realm would be wary of each other on the Emperor's Path, sometimes fighting to the death.

Not to mention geniuses from other immortal realms; hostility and vigilance would only be stronger.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed as Jun Xiao Yao continued his journey.

He hadn't even reached the first ancient star on the ancient path.

"This Ultimate Ancient Path is much, much longer than the Emperor's Path of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm," Jun Xiao Yao said to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped and said calmly, "You've been following me for days. What do you want?"

From the depths of space behind him, a fat man in yellow robes with a plump face and protruding belly approached with an embarrassed smile.

"Greetings, young master," the fat man bowed.

"What is it?" Jun Xiao Yao asked indifferently.

"I am Lu Ren Jia from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower of the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm. Young master can call me Little Lu."

"I love making friends. Observing young master's immortal aura, you have the bearing of an immortal and must be an extraordinary figure. May I have the honor of knowing you?"

This fat man named Lu Ren Jia flattered him profusely, his small bean-like eyes gleaming with light.

The Heavenly Mechanism Tower, though not an immortal power, had some reputation in the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in extras," Jun Xiao Yao was about to leave.

Lu Ren Jia asked, "May I ask if young master is going to the tenth checkpoint for the genius gathering?"

Jun Xiao Yao paused slightly and asked, "What's that?"

Lu Ren Jia then smiled and said, "Young master may not know, but when geniuses from the nine Emperor's Paths gather, inevitably some possess treasures they can't use themselves and wish to exchange with others."

"The tenth checkpoint, Ancient Star Shangqiu, is the most prosperous ancient star in the early stages of the ancient path. The Myriad Races Merchant Alliance will hold a genius gathering there where various rare treasures can be traded."

Lu Ren Jia's words caught Jun Xiao Yao's attention.

Didn't he have over a hundred Dao Certification Imprints that he couldn't use?

Rather than waste them, he might as well exchange them for treasures that could help him break through to higher realms.

Seeing that Jun Xiao Yao seemed interested, Lu Ren Jia continued, "At that genius gathering, many treasures might appear: immortal gold, world-class immortality herbs, and even immortal pill fragments."

Jun Xiao Yao was surprised to hear this.

He hadn't expected even immortal pill fragments to be available.

Anything associated with immortals was extremely precious, like remnant immortal blood, immortal embryos, and so on.

"Of course, even the rarest Dao Certification Imprints can be traded," Lu Ren Jia exclaimed with admiration.

Jun Xiao Yao merely smiled at this.

The one thing he didn't lack was Dao Certification Imprints.

"You seem to know quite a lot," Jun Xiao Yao said.

"Of course, my Heavenly Mechanism Tower is an intelligence organization in the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm," Lu Ren Jia said, sticking out his big belly.

Seeing that this Lu Ren Jia could be useful, Jun Xiao Yao didn't mind bringing him along.

Lu Ren Jia rubbed his hands together, asking if he was a minor giant-level genius.

Jun Xiao Yao shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Ren Jia showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes but didn't express it outwardly.

"Haha, brother, follow Brother Lu, and I guarantee you'll eat well," Lu Ren Jia relaxed, patting Jun Xiao Yao's shoulder casually.

Jun Xiao Yao was speechless.

Just a moment ago, he wanted Jun Xiao Yao to call him Little Lu.

Now he immediately became Brother Lu.

However, Jun Xiao Yao hadn't deceived Lu Ren Jia.

He indeed wasn't a minor giant-level genius, nor even a forbidden-level genius.

He was an anomaly throughout the ages that couldn't be measured!

Afterward, the two set off together.

It must be said that with this fat man to dispel boredom, Jun Xiao Yao wouldn't be lonely.

Once Lu Ren Jia started talking, he was unstoppable, covering topics from south to north.

"Speaking of which, the most prosperous ancient imperial family power in my Mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm is undoubtedly the Solar Divine Mountain. When the ten princes appear, who can match them?" Lu Ren Jia talked enthusiastically.

"Solar Divine Mountain..." Jun Xiao Yao's eyes darkened.

It seemed that his follower, Yi Yu's Yi Clan, was destroyed because of the Solar Divine Mountain.

"The Solar Divine Mountain is considered a top imperial overlord in my Mysterious Heaven Immortal Realm. They initiated an immortal war, first destroying the ancient imperial Yi Clan, then attacking the Moon Palace, acting arrogantly..." Lu Ren Jia said.

Jun Xiao Yao was deep in thought.

Previously, he had promised to help Yi Yu avenge his clan.

Now it seemed he had the opportunity.

"Solar Divine Mountain, the ten Golden Crow princes..." Jun Xiao Yao's lips curled into a faint smile.

Next, after about half a year.

Jun Xiao Yao and Lu Ren Jia had traversed seven or eight life-bearing ancient stars and were finally approaching the tenth checkpoint, Ancient Star Shangqiu.

During this period, there were naturally many dangers.

Various void forbidden zones, cruel magic bandits, and cosmic alien races were all very dangerous.

But these dangers were all swept aside by Jun Xiao Yao.

By now, even if Lu Ren Jia was foolish, he knew that Jun Xiao Yao was definitely an extraordinary figure.

"No wonder he said he wasn't a minor giant; he's actually a forbidden-level genius..."

Lu Ren Jia's attitude toward Jun Xiao Yao became respectful again, changing from Brother Lu back to Little Lu.

Jun Xiao Yao didn't mind these trivial matters.

As they approached Ancient Star Shangqiu, the surrounding crowd increased.

There were powerful geniuses with ancient beasts pulling their carriages.

There were geniuses riding phoenix birds.

Various towers, ships, and space vessels all converged toward Ancient Star Shangqiu.

"At this genius gathering, I must exchange for treasures to condense immortal energy."

"Hehe, I'm actually going to see the fairy from the Divine Women's Pavilion, Heavenly Lady Yuan."

"Yes, I've heard that Heavenly Lady Yuan dances beautifully. Her Goddess of Luo River Dance captivates all living beings."

Nearby, some geniuses were chatting.

"It's quite lively here," Jun Xiao Yao said calmly.

After walking for a long time in the desolate universe, it was nice to occasionally come to a place with human voices and smoke.

At this moment, there was suddenly a surge of magical power waves ahead, with divine ability light scattering.

A petite figure, very agile, leaped through the void like a rabbit kicking its legs.

Behind, four extremely powerful figures were in pursuit.

One of them, with a tiger's back and bear's waist, like a demonic mountain, shouted, "We, the Eight Minor Saints, are hunting prey here. Bystanders, step aside!"

As he spoke, he casually slapped a genius who had approached their path, turning him into a bloody mist with one palm.

"Hiss... Could it be four of the Eight Minor Saints from the Ancient Royal Clan?" Lu Ren Jia drew in a sharp breath, his eyes showing fear.

"Ancient Royal Clan's Eight Minor Saints?" Jun Xiao Yao's eyes showed confusion.

"Young master may not know, but they are eight powerful geniuses from the Ancient Royal Clan who have all made it onto the Giant List. They are extremely powerful," Lu Ren Jia said.

At this time, that petite figure happened to flee toward them.

"Let's go," Jun Xiao Yao said indifferently.

On the Ultimate Ancient Path, such pursuits were all too common.

Jun Xiao Yao wasn't the kind of good Samaritan who would draw his sword to help whenever he saw injustice.

Just as Jun Xiao Yao and his companions were about to leave, the four powerful Ancient Royal Clan members had already approached from behind.

"I told you to get lost! You're blocking the way!"

That tiger-backed, bear-waisted man casually struck with one palm, like a black sky collapsing down.

Lu Ren Jia was so frightened that his face turned pale, the fat on his face trembling.

"Hmm?" Jun Xiao Yao's eyes flashed with cold light.
