Chapter 619 Astonishing Phenomenon
Suddenly, half a year had passed.
The once-sensational Shangqiu Holy City had gradually calmed down.
However, every day, many talented individuals would come to peek outside the private courtyard of Tiannu Yuan.
Many female cultivators passing by would specifically come to this place, hoping to get lucky and see the legendary Divine Son.
But to their disappointment, there was never any movement from the courtyard where Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion.
These female cultivators didn't get discouraged. As Jun Xiaoyao's passionate fans, they continued to stay in Shangqiu Holy City, just wanting to see him in person once.
During this time, Biling had thoroughly bonded with Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Lu Renjia, and others, becoming familiar with each other.
On this day, the courtyard that had been quiet for a long time suddenly showed signs of activity.
Boom!
The earth and sky trembled. Many cultivators were shocked to discover that the spiritual energy of the entire Shangqiu ancient star was converging toward the courtyard where Jun Xiaoyao was located.
Above the courtyard, a terrifying spiritual energy storm formed, like a blue dragon, shooting straight into the starry sky!
Many cultivators had never seen such a scene in their entire lives.
"Heavens, even supreme cultivators wouldn't cause such a disturbance, would they?" some exclaimed in shock.
Tiannu Yuan, Biling, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Lu Renjia, and others also sensed this movement and came out to look.
"The young master is finally coming out!" Taiyin Jade Rabbit clapped her hands and smiled.
Tiannu Yuan also breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was truly afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would seclude himself for several years and miss the opportunity when the Taie Divine Temple opened.
Biling's beautiful eyes also carried a hint of anticipation.
She was looking forward to Jun Xiaoyao coming out of seclusion and taking her back to Tianming Ancient Star.
The spiritual energy storm swept across the sky, visible even from the starry void.
Surrounding stars were affected by the waves, continuously trembling, and then falling one by one, turning into meteor showers.
This scene was incredibly shocking, comparable to a supreme being making a breakthrough.
"Could it be that the Jun family's Divine Son is breaking through to the Saint King realm?"
"That's unlikely, as no tribulation lightning has descended," someone said.
"But there's an immortal aura spreading. Could it be that the Jun family's Divine Son is condensing another strand of immortal energy?" some talented youths speculated.
"I heard earlier that the Jun family's Divine Son had already condensed five strands of immortal energy. If so, wouldn't this be his sixth?"
Thinking of this, all cultivators couldn't help but shudder.
Six strands of immortal energy—even most forbidden-level talents couldn't reach this standard.
However, what they didn't know was that Jun Xiaoyao had already cultivated eight strands of immortal energy.
The latter three strands were condensed when refining the immortal embryo, which the outside world was unaware of.
Under everyone's gaze, a figure directly left the courtyard and rose into the air.
Jun Xiaoyao's white robes fluttered in the wind, his appearance handsome and divine.
With a clear cry, the spiritual energy storm that spanned tens of thousands of miles across the starry void was completely gathered to him and absorbed.
A strand of immortal energy permeated with the essence of life and death appeared, coiling around his body like a long dragon.
Life and Death Immortal Energy, condensed!
As this strand of immortal energy condensed, it was as if great bells were ringing from within Jun Xiaoyao's body, the sound of the Dao shocking the world.
With this strand of Life and Death Immortal Energy, Jun Xiaoyao had condensed a total of nine strands of immortal energy.
Nine is the ultimate number.
The number of Dayan is forty-nine.
The emperor is also called the Nine-Five Supreme Being.
Nine is higher than heaven.
It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao had completely reached a certain extreme.
Even ancient emperors, ancient sovereigns, and immortal sacred spirits might not be able to reach this step.
"What's happening? Why do I feel like the Jun family's Divine Son is about to ascend?"
"I feel it too. That Dao sound is too profound, as if it's leading people to enlightenment!"
From all directions, many talented youths looked up in admiration at the figure standing in the starry void, like a white-robed immortal.
Many female cultivators were so excited they almost fainted.
Their long wait wasn't in vain, as they witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's unparalleled elegance.
That Dao sound caused many cultivators to sit down in meditation on the spot, experiencing a sense of enlightenment.
"Six strands of immortal energy?" Tiannu Yuan also took a deep breath, her well-shaped chest rising and falling, creating beautiful waves.
No matter how highly she regarded Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao always exceeded her expectations.
Sensing Jun Xiaoyao's world-shaking power, Tiannu Yuan's eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly, suppressing the extraordinary phenomena.
If news of nine strands of immortal energy spread, it would definitely shock the entire Ultimate Ancient Path, making even forbidden-level talents tremble.
But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care, not feeling this was particularly remarkable.
"Limits exist to be broken. Nine strands of immortal energy is not my endpoint," Jun Xiaoyao showed no pride.
He incorporated the Life and Death Immortal Energy into his body. His aura became peaceful, and the various phenomena and Dao sounds around him dissipated, restoring clarity to heaven and earth.
Some talented youths who were sitting in meditation suddenly trembled, directly breaking through a small realm.
They were delighted and respectfully cupped their hands toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao slowly descended.
Taiyin Jade Rabbit was the first to rush forward, unhesitatingly jumping into Jun Xiaoyao's arms, nuzzling his chest like a pet.
"Young master, you've been in seclusion for so long without petting me. I've been lonely too," Taiyin Jade Rabbit mumbled.
"Alright, I'll make it up to you later," Jun Xiaoyao said, rubbing Taiyin Jade Rabbit's ears and head.
It was simply like keeping a pet.
Biling watched this scene, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of envy.
Tiannu Yuan stepped forward, glanced at Jun Xiaoyao, and said with a charming smile, "In just half a year, the Divine Son has condensed another strand of immortal energy. Now with six strands, the Divine Son is definitely top-tier among forbidden-level talents."
"It's nothing special," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He didn't correct the mistake about having nine strands of immortal energy.
Because from beginning to end, he had never fully trusted Tiannu Yuan.
They were merely in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.
"Congratulations to the young master on advancing his cultivation again," Lu Renjia also respectfully cupped his hands.
Afterward, he eagerly informed Jun Xiaoyao of some important news that had occurred on the Ancient Path during his seclusion.
For instance, there seemed to be unusual movements at Tianming Ancient Star, where the Taie Divine Temple was located.
The situation there was somewhat chaotic.
Talented individuals from the Imperial Path wanted to explore Tianming Ancient Star but clashed with the Snake People, occasionally resulting in bloodshed.
There was also news that Mo Jinyu, the natural sacred spirit from Sacred Spirit Island, had already allied with Hu Qingqing, a noble lady from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe.
Moreover, Mo Jinyu had declared that if Jun Xiaoyao dared to go to Tianming Ancient Star, he would definitely settle the blood debt of the Tongtian Stone Spirit.
Additionally, there was news that the infamous Thirteen Bandits of the Imperial Path also showed signs of activity.
The Thirteen Bandits of the Imperial Path were notorious for conspiracies and ambushes, intercepting and killing supreme talents to plunder their opportunities, and even their bloodlines and physiques.
Even forbidden-level talents had been ambushed, with their inherited bloodlines being stripped away.
There were rumors that among the Thirteen Bandits of the Imperial Path, someone had commented on how extraordinary the Primordial Sacred Body's essence blood and Supreme Bone must be.
The implication was that they wanted to plunder Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Sacred Body essence blood and Supreme Bone!
