Chapter 618 I Won't Let You Be Alone
In the time that followed, Jun Xiaoyao was in no hurry to head to the Tianming Ancient Star.
There was still some time before the complete opening of the Taie Temple.
When the temple opened, it was obvious that the exploring parties wouldn't be limited to Tian Nüyuan and Hu Qingqing's two groups.
Those interested in the Taie Temple weren't just them.
Before that, Jun Xiaoyao also planned to condense his next strand of immortal energy.
After obtaining the immortal pill fragment, his foundation had become even stronger.
Jun Xiaoyao began his seclusion.
As for Biling, upon learning she could return home, she completely relaxed and became fast friends with the Moon Jade Rabbit.
Tian Nüyuan was also meditating and preparing.
Her strength was not weak either, as she was at the late stage of the Saint realm.
In a quiet spiritual chamber, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged.
Between his palms, vortexes were rotating with black and white light gathering, vaguely forming two life and death wheels, one black and one white.
As the wheels rotated, profound life and death principles flowed.
It seemed as if countless mortal beings were being born and dying, dying and being reborn between Jun Xiaoyao's palms.
Jun Xiaoyao wanted to use the Heavenly Life and Death Wheel to comprehend the meaning of life and death.
With Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous comprehension ability, this naturally wasn't a problem.
Afterward, he once again brought out the immortal pill fragment.
Although it was just a fragment, the immortal essence was enough to make one feel like ascending to immortality.
Jun Xiaoyao activated the Devouring God Demon Technique again, and a black devouring vortex appeared, beginning to devour and refine the immortal pill fragment.
Vaguely, an embryonic form of immortal energy flowing with life and death principles began to appear on his body.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was immersed in cultivation.
On the Ultimate Ancient Road, another commotion spread.
At the starting point of the ancient road, at the Dragon Gate, divine light radiated in thousands of strands, illuminating heaven and earth.
Although not as terrifying as when Jun Xiaoyao crossed the Dragon Gate with a hundred dragons roaring, it was still shocking enough.
"Hmm... another forbidden prodigy has crossed the Dragon Gate and entered the ancient road..."
"I wonder which celestial domain this forbidden prodigy is from. Sigh... in this era of great contention, all kinds of monstrous talents are emerging..."
Along the entire ancient road, some forbidden prodigies who sensed the Dragon Gate's fluctuations sighed slightly.
In this era of great contention, the competition was too intense.
In previous epochs, when the ancient road opened, forbidden prodigies were few and far between.
But in this era, forbidden prodigies were emerging one after another, and the Forbidden Ranking had been established early.
There were even rumors that the Emperor Ranking, which hadn't opened for many epochs, would fully open in this era of great contention.
If it truly came to that point, obviously only those prodigies who could ascend the Emperor Ranking would truly have the qualifications to dominate the rise and fall of this great era.
Even forbidden prodigies would have to retreat to the second line and fade into obscurity.
This also ignited the competitive spirit of many forbidden prodigies.
Those who could obtain the forbidden title, which one was weak?
Just as the crowd of prodigies was marveling.
At the Dragon Gate, divine light once again shone, illuminating in all directions.
"What's happening? In such a short time, another forbidden prodigy has crossed the Dragon Gate?" Some forbidden prodigies were puzzled.
Then, an even more shocking event occurred.
The Dragon Gate rumbled again, with divine light illuminating the heavens.
"A third one!"
With this, the entire ancient road was in an uproar again.
Some forbidden prodigies were moved and became restless.
"What's going on? Three forbidden prodigies have stepped onto the ancient road in a short time?"
"How is this possible? Although there are more forbidden prodigies in this epoch than in previous ones, they're not as common as cabbages."
Many were shocked and even suspected that something was wrong with the Dragon Gate.
However, as an ancient artifact spanning many epochs, the Dragon Gate couldn't possibly make such an error.
This meant that three forbidden prodigies had indeed crossed the Dragon Gate in a short time, and they were likely together.
"The three forbidden prodigies are traveling together. It seems a powerful force is about to emerge on the ancient road," some forbidden prodigies whispered.
Forbidden prodigies were formidable.
Forbidden prodigies who banded together were even more formidable.
For example, the Ten Great Princes of the Golden Crow were forbidden prodigies who banded together. Who would dare provoke them?
At this moment, at the starting point of the ancient road, at the Dragon Gate.
A large group of prodigies from the Nine Heavens Celestial Domain were dumbfounded, staring at the Dragon Gate that kept flashing with divine light, in a daze.
What kind of fierce individuals were these?
As everyone looked, a group of people had already crossed the Dragon Gate.
They were none other than the Jun family, the Jiang family, and Jun Xiaoyao's followers.
Among them, Jiang Shengyi's snow-white clothes fluttered, her immortal figure graceful, with three thousand snow-white strands of hair gently swaying in the wind.
Her immortal face was like a painting, her red lips slightly curved in a smile as she gazed at the ancient road.
"Xiaoyao, the strong always walk alone, but... I won't allow you to be lonely by yourself," Jiang Shengyi murmured, her bright eyes sparkling with determination.
She was one of the three forbidden figures who had just caused the Dragon Gate to shake.
Born as the once-in-eternity Innate Dao Embryo, combined with Jun Xiaoyao's Ancient Saint Body bloodline to compensate for her physical shortcomings, she could now manifest part of the power of the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo.
She had also completely integrated and refined twenty Dao Certification Imprints.
Jiang Shengyi's current strength and cultivation had reached the forbidden level.
She wanted to catch up to Jun Xiaoyao's pace and stand beside him.
"Hehe, that's right. Although our talent and strength are not as good as Xiaoyao's, we can't let him bear everything alone," said a handsome man supporting a long umbrella with a wine gourd at his waist, smiling slightly. It was Jun Moxiao.
As the former zero sequence of the Jun family, possessing the Human Emperor Body, and having integrated many Dao Certification Imprints given by Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Moxiao had also, without surprise, reached the forbidden level.
"Although cousin Xiaoyao alone can sweep through the ages, we can't fall too far behind."
A divine-looking man with his eyes covered by a black cloth smiled lightly. It was Jun Lingcang, the Double Pupil possessor of the Jun family.
He was the third forbidden prodigy who had caused the commotion earlier.
"That's right, that's right. Brother Xiaoyao wants to leave us behind, but that's impossible!" Jiang Luoli was also present, clenching her pink fists, her bright eyes sparkling.
She had also integrated Dao Certification Imprints. Although she hadn't reached the forbidden level, she was a quasi-forbidden prodigy, much stronger than the titan-level prodigies.
"We must also keep up with the young master's pace!"
Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, and the late-rising Reincarnation Saint Body Wangchuan were also present. They also had quasi-forbidden strength, not far from true forbidden prodigies.
In addition, there were others related to Jun Xiaoyao, such as Little Magic Fairy, Mu Yuehan, Princess Longji, Jun Mulan, Little Fairy, and others, all of whom had greatly improved in strength.
The Dao Certification Imprints bestowed by Jun Xiaoyao had elevated the cultivation of the group around him to a new level.
Three forbidden prodigies, a group of quasi-forbidden and titan-level individuals—this force, even on the Emperor Road, was extremely powerful and could traverse unhindered.
"My goodness, are these people all from around the Jun family's Divine Son?" Many prodigies from the Nine Heavens Celestial Domain were stunned.
This lineup was simply luxurious!
It was definitely pay-to-win!
But thinking about it, Jun Xiaoyao giving out Dao Certification Imprints was indeed similar to paying.
"Everyone, see you at the end of the ancient road..." Jun Moxiao smiled slightly. The space around him trembled, transporting him to the starting point of the ancient road.
The rest of the people also began to teleport one after another.
Finally, only Jiang Shengyi remained, her gaze looking into the distance.
She stood gracefully, extraordinarily beautiful, like the clear halo of a new moon, like a jade tree covered in snow, her entire being beautiful and sacred to the point of breathlessness.
Then, on her clear and flawless fairy-like face, a charming pout like that of a young woman suddenly appeared.
"Daring to leave without saying goodbye, Xiaoyao, when we meet again, I won't let you off easily~"
