SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Under the starry sky, the stars twinkled and scattered.

A young woman danced on the mountain peak, her skirt fluttering, her posture graceful.

A pair of long, crystalline beautiful legs in white stockings traced out elegant arcs.

Tiannu Yuan was like a beautiful elf, dancing under the starry sky.

This dance was enough to captivate the world.

Even Jun Xiaoyao, who was accustomed to seeing divine women and fairies, was momentarily entranced, but quickly regained his composure.

He was not some ascetic monk, and if Tiannu Yuan was willing to dance for him, he was willing to appreciate it.

Jun Xiaoyao also noticed that although it was the same Luoshen Jinghong dance.

This time when Tiannu Yuan danced, it was noticeably different from before, carrying the radiance of the great Dao.

Numerous symbols manifested in the void, colorful and dotted.

Against this backdrop, Tiannu Yuan truly resembled Mifei, the Goddess of Luo who emerged from the water.

"It seems to be because she received Mifei's legacy," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

As the dance ended, flower rain fell from the void, a manifestation of the great Dao's resonance.

"Young Master, was it beautiful?" Tiannu Yuan tilted her head slightly, smiling sweetly.

"It was," Jun Xiaoyao replied honestly.

Hearing this, Tiannu Yuan's heart felt as sweet as honey.

Jun Xiaoyao gazed at Tiannu Yuan and suddenly asked, "Who are you really?"

The smile on Tiannu Yuan's face slowly faded.

Her beautiful eyes were clear and calm, then suddenly she smiled again and said, "I am a fish, always striving to leap out of the water, to become that Goddess of Luo emerging from water, to take control of my own destiny."

"But in the end, I find that I am always that fish that cannot jump out of the river, ultimately only able to swim in the river of fate..."

After saying this, Tiannu Yuan seemed to laugh at herself and said, "Look at me, what nonsense am I talking about."

Her beautiful eyes looked at Jun Xiaoyao, and she suddenly approached him, placing a jade pendant in his hand.

"If Young Master Jun misses me, just crush this jade pendant, and I will return to you without hesitation."

Her eyes were rippling like water as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao, as if wanting to engrave his image in her heart.

Then, Tiannu Yuan turned to leave.

"Wait..." Jun Xiaoyao spoke.

Tiannu Yuan's delicate body froze, trembling slightly. She turned back, her eyes carrying a trace of faint agitation.

"Later, I need your help to use the power of the Divine Women's Guild to investigate information about the Thirteen Great Bandits," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Tiannu Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly, her lips revealing a barely perceptible trace of bitterness, then she smiled and said, "I understand. I will certainly fulfill Young Master's instructions."

Although she knew that even now, Jun Xiaoyao only had a relationship of cooperation and utilization with her.

Tiannu Yuan had no regrets, nor did she blame Jun Xiaoyao.

Because she had also used Jun Xiaoyao.

But...

How Tiannu Yuan wished in her heart that she and Jun Xiaoyao were not just using each other.

Watching Tiannu Yuan's departing figure, Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, pondering.

"A fish that cannot swim out of the river of fate. Tiannu Yuan, who is the one controlling your destiny?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

...

Outside the Tianming Ancient Star, in the starry void.

Tiannu Yuan stood alone on a starship.

She took out a jade slip with her jade hand. The jade slip flickered slightly, and a woman's voice, cold yet melodious like heavenly music, emanated from it.

"It seems you have obtained the legacy."

"Yes, I have obtained the Nuwa Heavenly Heart Technique," Tiannu Yuan's face became indifferent and expressionless.

"Very good, my Nuwa Holy Body can finally transform completely."

"By then, on the entire Ultimate Ancient Path, those who can face me in battle will be no more than the fingers on one hand..."

This heavenly voice, though female, carried a world-dominating aura no less than a man's.

Like a supreme female emperor commanding all the heavens and universe.

Listening to the woman's words, Tiannu Yuan's expression remained emotionless.

"However, that Jun Xiaoyao is indeed far beyond my expectations."

"Not only can he kill a half-step Great Saint, but he can even withstand three moves from a Saint Lord. It seems being cautious was indeed necessary." The woman's words also carried a trace of solemnity.

"You cannot deal with him. Not just you, even with the Ancient Emperor's Son or others, it's still impossible," Tiannu Yuan said coldly.

The female voice in the jade slip was silent for a moment, then said, "Yuan, you know you cannot fall in love, because... you are my pearl person..."

Tiannu Yuan clenched her jade hand and said coldly, "I have already obtained the Nuwa Heavenly Heart Technique for you, so what about the freedom you promised me?"

"After you become the next leader of the Divine Women's Guild, come back. I still need you."

"Besides, the Ancient Emperor's Son's patience is limited..."

Hearing this, Tiannu Yuan's delicate body trembled violently, and her face, beautiful as an elf's, turned deathly pale.

"No... impossible..." Tiannu Yuan's lips were as white as paper.

"Nothing is impossible. By the way, the Ancient Emperor's Son has already sent out the Four Heavenly Kings."

"Next, there will be more drama to watch."

After these words, the female voice fell silent.

Tiannu Yuan collapsed powerlessly to the ground, covering her face with her jade hands.

"Young Master Jun..."

Her dance was peerless, yet she could only dance within the tragedy of fate.

...

Back at the Tianming Ancient Star, Jun Xiaoyao immersed himself in cultivation.

For ordinary people, even if they obtained immortal scriptures, comprehending them would not be a matter of a short time.

But Jun Xiaoyao's comprehension ability was monstrously extreme. For him, understanding immortal scriptures merely took a bit more time than cultivating supreme divine techniques.

Additionally, Yan Rumeng also began to refine the ancient blood.

It was conceivable that once her Tianmeng Midie bloodline fully awakened, her talent and strength would surge dramatically.

The Snake Clan also began steady development, with the entire clan's bloodline starting to transform.

The situation temporarily stabilized.

However, news about Jun Xiaoyao began to spread throughout the entire Ancient Path.

Killing a half-step Great Saint, withstanding three moves from a Saint Lord.

Even for taboo geniuses, this was incredibly inconceivable.

Also, Saint Hong Yi of the Ancient Lan Holy Church, Mo Jinyu of the Holy Spirit Island, and four of the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Ancient Path, all perished at Jun Xiaoyao's hands.

These pieces of news were equally shocking.

Contrary to expectations, the Holy Spirit Island and Ancient Lan Holy Church did not express any opinions, maintaining silence.

Although immortal forces found it difficult to interfere in the conflicts of the Ancient Path.

One could imagine that if Jun Xiaoyao were a dark horse genius without background.

Perhaps within a few days, news would spread of Jun Xiaoyao being assassinated somewhere.

It could only be said that the three immortal forces of the Jun Family, Jiang Family, and Jun Imperial Court still had considerable deterrent power.

Of course, throughout the entire Ancient Path, besides news of Jun Xiaoyao.

News of other super taboo geniuses also emerged.

For instance, from the ancient imperial clan Divine Silkworm Valley, an extremely rare Nine Transformation Divine Silkworm appeared.

This type of divine silkworm was said to be invincible after nine transformations.

There was also the Solar Divine Mountain, where the Golden Crow Tenth Prince, reputed to have an invincible posture, obtained a quasi-emperor weapon in some secret land.

Rumors said his next goal was to capture the holy maiden of the Moon Goddess Palace, Yu Chanjuan, to seize her Supreme Yin Holy Body and cultivate the Posterior Chaos Body.

Furthermore, the Ancient Emperor's Son from the Fuxi Immortal Lineage of the Supreme Immortal Court, possessing the legendary Supreme Fuxi Holy Body, had also assimilated the legacy of an ancient emperor.

And the Imperial Daughter from the Nuwa Immortal Lineage of the Supreme Immortal Court was equally unfathomable, reputed to be one of the strongest existences among the younger generation on the Ancient Path.

Not to mention them, even the Four Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Court were top-tier taboo existences, each capable of sweeping through a region of the Ancient Path, having created terrifying records of slaying taboo geniuses.

People saw that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Court had set out together, seemingly to complete some mission.

This alarmed many geniuses - who exactly could make the four taboo Heavenly Kings of the Supreme Immortal Court act together?
