SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"Good, good, good! After so many years, our Sacred Body lineage has finally produced someone who defies the heavens and breaks through the shackles of the world!"

Wu Hu repeated "good" three times, showing how excited he truly was.

It was understandable. As the last of the Sacred Body lineage, he was alone and desolate.

To protect the last spark of the Sacred Body lineage, he willingly endured restraints and humiliation.

But even the most resilient heart would grow weary after countless years of erosion.

Not to mention that Wu Hu's Sacred Body blood essence had been depleted too much.

Combined with the erosion from the stone tablet and chains, his life was nearly at its end.

However, being able to see Jun Xiaoyao in his final moments made Wu Hu feel incredibly fortunate.

If Ning Chen and Ning Xuan were the sparks he needed to protect,

Then Jun Xiaoyao was an eternal sun radiating endless light!

Only Wu Hu, who was also a Sacred Body, understood how terrifying an Ancient Sacred Body that had broken through ten shackles could be.

Even the former Ancient Sacred Temple Master who single-handedly fought against three Immortal Kings from foreign realms had only broken through seven shackles.

As a Sacred Body who had broken through ten shackles, Jun Xiaoyao would face no limitations in cultivation, and his Sacred Body power would not be suppressed.

Plus, he came from the Ancient Jun Family, with an impeccable background.

Such a person with unrivaled talent and background.

Anyone could tell he would definitely become an invincible Sacred Body recorded in history.

"This is wonderful. I never thought that after the Ancient Era, our Sacred Body lineage would produce another complete Sacred Body."

"With you here, even if I die now, I have no regrets..." Wu Hu sighed.

His greatest regret and guilt in life was his inability to revitalize the Ancient Sacred Temple.

Now, he saw hope in Jun Xiaoyao.

"Senior, you shouldn't talk like that. With me here, I won't let anything happen to you," Jun Xiaoyao said.

To be honest, before coming here, Jun Xiaoyao did have thoughts about recruiting an Ancient Sacred Body.

It would be beneficial to him.

But now, seeing Wu Hu, Jun Xiaoyao simply wanted to help.

Even if Wu Hu chose not to join the Jun Imperial Court, he would still do this.

Ancient Sacred Bodies were so rare, with only a few in each era.

Though they had different names and came from different clans,

That shared Sacred Body bloodline could never be severed.

"By the way, my Ancient Sacred Temple ancestors left some things for the destined person of the Sacred Body lineage. Follow me," Wu Hu said, as if suddenly remembering something.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded calmly.

He followed Wu Hu into the inner hall.

Although Wu Hu had shackles on his body and chains piercing through his shoulder blades, he could still move around nearby.

He carried a stone tablet on his back, which was sealed to him through special methods.

"This thing is..." Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

"It was set by the Domineering Body of my era, containing special suppression runes," Wu Hu said dismissively.

Despite suffering such humiliation, his mood was now quite good.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed quietly.

Inside the inner hall, there was a cracked statue.

One could vaguely see it depicted a heroic and majestic man.

"This is the former Temple Master who fought against the three Immortal Kings," Wu Hu murmured.

Jun Xiaoyao also showed a hint of respect.

Though he might not fully agree with such selfless love, he still respected it.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao entered the inner hall,

The mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have reached the check-in location Ancient Sacred Temple. Do you wish to check in?"

"Check in," Jun Xiaoyao mentally commanded.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have received a seven-star reward: the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, Great Wilderness Halberd!"

As the system's voice faded, Jun Xiaoyao immediately felt it.

In his spatial storage device appeared a seven-foot-long halberd.

The entire halberd had a fierce and imposing design, with a snow-bright blade, as if it had come from the primordial chaos!

A primitive energy surged and spread, carrying a terrifying aura of desolation and destruction!

It seemed like one strike could split endless wilderness!

Quasi-Emperor Weapon, Great Wilderness Halberd!

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, surprised that he had checked in another divine weapon.

Though this Great Wilderness Halberd wasn't like the All Things Primordial Cauldron, which might evolve into a divine artifact in the future,

At the very least, it could evolve into an Emperor Weapon.

Jun Xiaoyao currently didn't have a handy weapon.

The All Things Primordial Cauldron was, strictly speaking, a tool for enlightenment rather than a killing weapon.

The appearance of the Great Wilderness Halberd perfectly filled this gap.

Although with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, he truly didn't need weapons to deal with ordinary people.

But whether to use it was one thing, whether to have it was another.

Like the Golden Crow Tenth Prince, who went through countless hardships to obtain a Quasi-Emperor Weapon and was still refining it.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao casually checked in a Quasi-Emperor Weapon with the potential to evolve into an Emperor Weapon.

It was definitely of much higher quality than what the Golden Crow Tenth Prince had obtained.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao lost in thought, Wu Hu asked.

"Nothing," Jun Xiaoyao came back to his senses.

He had gained another powerful tool.

Next, Wu Hu approached the statue and pushed it aside.

Rumble!

Beneath the statue appeared a sealed mechanism with a depression in the center.

Wu Hu said, "Drop a drop of blood in it. If you truly are the destined one, the Sacred Temple's secret place will open."

Jun Xiaoyao didn't hesitate, stepping forward to drop a drop of blood into it.

Instantly, golden light burst forth!

The entire ground split open, revealing a passage.

"It's truly correct," Wu Hu took a deep breath.

Although he had already guessed it with near certainty, when it was finally confirmed, he still completely relaxed.

Because the Ancient Sacred Temple always had a legacy decree saying that when the destined one arrived, it would also be the time when the Sacred Body lineage would regain its glory.

Jun Xiaoyao and Wu Hu entered.

Below was an extremely large space, with a majestic Sacred Body aura permeating it.

Both Jun Xiaoyao and Wu Hu sensed that aura.

Finally, they entered an underground chamber.

Jun Xiaoyao looked around, his gaze flashing.

A blood pool was located in the center, not very large, with a diameter of only about six feet.

But what it contained was actually Ancient Sacred Body blood essence!

A pool of Sacred Body blood essence, as red as agate, emitting an incredibly powerful and vast bloodline aura.

As the blood energy rose, it condensed into images of blood qilins, blood dragons, blood phoenixes, and other mystical scenes.

"This is..." even Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised.

"This is the Sacred Body blood essence left by generations of Temple Masters and Sacred Bodies," Wu Hu's voice trembled slightly.

Had those Temple Masters already foreseen the current decline of the Ancient Sacred Temple?

So they left behind Sacred Body blood essence to preserve the flame for the Sacred Body lineage.

Jun Xiaoyao also saw a medicinal herb growing beside the blood pool, with leaves like blood-colored dragons, absorbing blood essence, surrounded by the phenomenon of blood transforming into dragons.

"It's the True Dragon Immortality Herb," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Even among immortality herbs, the True Dragon Immortality Herb was top-tier, with incredible effects.

Additionally, there was a dark golden armor like the body of a god or demon, carrying an imperial aura, displayed there.

"It's my Ancient Sacred Temple's Emperor Weapon, the Primordial God Armor!" Wu Hu's eyes shone brightly.

The Ancient Sacred Temple's Emperor Weapon, the Primordial God Armor, had been lost in a certain era.

At that time, Wu Hu had wondered how even the Ancient Sacred Temple's Emperor Weapon could be lost.

Now it seemed the previous Temple Master had anticipated the possible defeat of the Ancient Sacred Temple.

Therefore, he had hidden the Emperor Weapon Primordial God Armor in this Sacred Temple secret place in advance, waiting for the destined one to come and bring it back to light.

Otherwise, the declining Ancient Sacred Temple could never have protected this Emperor Weapon; it would have been seized by other forces.

Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao saw some ancient bookshelves with books displayed on them.

He immediately browsed through some and was surprised to discover they all recorded cultivation methods for the Ancient Sacred Body.

Among them were even experiences on how to awaken Sacred Body phenomena!

"These should all be cultivation notes left by generations of Temple Masters and other Sacred Bodies," Wu Hu exclaimed in amazement after browsing through them.

He could never have imagined that so many things were hidden in this Sacred Temple secret place.

Jun Xiaoyao also sighed, "For the resurgence of the Sacred Body lineage, generations of Temple Masters and Sacred Bodies truly went to great lengths."

Generations of Sacred Body blood essence, True Dragon Immortality Herb, Emperor Weapon Primordial God Armor, Sacred Body cultivation notes.

These things were undoubtedly prepared for the resurgence of the Sacred Body lineage.

And everything was meant for the destined one, which was Jun Xiaoyao.

"Jun Xiaoyao, these all belong to you. You are the only Sacred Body in recent times who has broken through ten shackles."

"You are the hope of our Sacred Body lineage!" Wu Hu said solemnly, clasping his hands toward Jun Xiaoyao.

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, flames also ignited.

He couldn't imagine how powerful he would become after absorbing these opportunities.

This was absolutely the greatest opportunity Jun Xiaoyao had encountered since walking the ancient path!
