SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"The Green Emperor sacrificed himself to create a barrier, sealing the border gap, which naturally has limitations."

"Only those below the Supreme level can enter the Divine Ruins world."

"This means that within the Divine Ruins world, the highest combat power is only quasi-Supreme."

"Because of this, the Divine Ruins world can keep the top powers from the foreign realm outside the border."

"Even if a quasi-Supreme from the foreign realm tries to sneak in, there's no need to worry, they will be directly eliminated," said Fourth Master Scar.

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood why Fourth Master Scar valued him so highly.

It wasn't just because he was the son of his benefactor.

More importantly, Jun Xiaoyao was at the Great Saint realm, yet could fight against quasi-Supremes!

In the Divine Ruins world, this was like having a cheat code!

One could imagine how those foreign realm beings would feel when Jun Xiaoyao, at the Great Saint realm, displayed combat power that could rival quasi-Supreme level.

They would probably feel quite sour.

Fourth Master Scar continued: "Do you know about Divine Thoughts?"

"I know. Divine Thoughts are the inner demons and obsessions of Emperor-level powerhouses, which have a certain probability of being born when an Emperor falls," said one of the prodigies.

"Correct. The Green Emperor was very great, sacrificing himself to create a barrier sealing the border gap, but he was not without obsessions."

"Within the Divine Ruins world, the Green Emperor left behind seven sinful Divine Thoughts, seven in total, each sealed in different secret locations."

"If these seven sinful Divine Thoughts break their seals and merge into one, they will transform into a terrifying evil Divine Thought that could break open the Divine Ruins world from within."

"The foreign realm beings have obviously discovered this and are preparing to find the locations of the seven sinful Divine Thoughts to unseal and release them."

"Your mission is to prevent the foreign realm from unsealing the Divine Thoughts as much as possible, and if you have the ability, eliminating the Divine Thoughts would be best," said Fourth Master Scar.

Feathered Transformation King stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Elder, you must be joking. The sinful Divine Thoughts left by the Green Emperor must be incredibly terrifying. How could we possibly have the ability to eliminate them?"

Many prodigies nodded at Feathered Transformation King's question.

An Emperor's Divine Thought was already terrifying enough, at least at the quasi-Emperor level, capable of causing a catastrophe.

How could they possibly eliminate Divine Thoughts with their power?

Fourth Master Scar said: "It's fine. Within the Divine Ruins world, there are world rules left by the Green Emperor. Those Divine Thoughts, even if unsealed, will only have quasi-Supreme cultivation."

"However, when the seven sinful Divine Thoughts merge into one complete Seven Sins Divine Thought, it can directly break the rules of the Divine Ruins world and destroy it."

At this point, everyone understood.

This trial wasn't just about fighting against foreign realm beings.

It was also about preventing the foreign realm from destroying the Divine Thought seal sites.

Eliminating the Divine Thoughts would be ideal.

But everyone knew that even if individual Divine Thoughts had their power suppressed to quasi-Supreme level.

They were still the obsessions left by a mythical Emperor, and probably even ordinary quasi-Supremes wouldn't be their match.

Trying to eliminate them would be like an impossible dream.

So all they could consider was how to disrupt the foreign realm's actions and prevent their success.

The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

Facing foreign realm beings was already extremely dangerous.

Now they had to add seven sinful Divine Thoughts to the mix.

It could truly be called the most cruel and difficult ultimate trial in history.

"Alright, don't be disheartened. These border guards and great knights will enter with you," Fourth Master Scar said encouragingly when he saw the gloomy atmosphere.

The prodigies' expressions improved a bit.

Those great knights all had quasi-Supreme cultivation.

Obviously, the task regarding the Divine Thoughts should mainly be handled by these great knights.

"Next, those whose names are called, step forward," said Fourth Master Scar.

Everyone was puzzled, wondering what this was about.

"Jun Xiaoyao."

The first name Fourth Master Scar called was Jun Xiaoyao's.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with light as he stepped forward.

"Jun Lingcang..."

"Ancient Emperor's Son..."

"Ling Yuan..."

"Feathered Transformation King..."

One by one, names were called by Fourth Master Scar.

Jun Xiaoyao immediately noticed that those called were all supreme forbidden-level prodigies.

After finishing calling names, Fourth Master Scar said: "You prodigies are the elite among elites, the 'seed' figures of our era."

"You will draw lots next and be assigned to various great knight teams to assist them in disrupting the foreign realm's plans."

"This is also a trial by fire for you top figures."

"As for the remaining prodigies, kill as many foreign realm beings as you can, but don't force yourselves. Staying alive is most important."

Hearing this, the supreme forbidden-level prodigies whose names were called, including Jun Xiaoyao, remained calm.

This was a challenge for them, but also a tempering.

"Of course, if you can return alive, you will naturally receive rich rewards."

"As for the prodigies whose names were called, if you can return alive, there will be immortal-level treasures waiting for you."

Fourth Master Scar's words immediately heated up the previously subdued atmosphere.

Especially upon hearing about immortal-level treasures, even transcendent figures like Ling Yuan and Ancient Emperor's Son couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

Immortal-level treasures were opportunities related to immortals, extremely precious!

If they could obtain one, they would definitely undergo a complete transformation, and might even be able to break through to the Supreme level!

"They're really going all out," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

"Alright, now we'll begin drawing lots," said Fourth Master Scar.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others came forward one by one to draw lots.

As for the great knight teams, they were divided into seven groups, each responsible for finding one Divine Thought.

At this moment, the leaders of the seven teams were all paying attention.

Although all supreme forbidden-level prodigies were strong.

There were still some differences in strength, as well as in temperament and other aspects.

These great knights naturally didn't want some hot-headed youths with unstable temperaments and weak combat power to join their teams.

"I hope it's the Jun family's Divine Son."

"Although the Jun family's Divine Son is only at Great Saint level, he can fight against quasi-Supremes. Whichever team gets him will be stable."

"Yes, that would be like having an additional combat power close to quasi-Supreme level. In critical moments, he could definitely change the situation and save the day!"

The warriors of these teams were whispering among themselves.

Almost every team's warriors were looking at Jun Xiaoyao with burning gazes, as if staring at some priceless treasure.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao's temperament and combat power were extremely extraordinary.

Some great knights even felt that Jun Xiaoyao probably wasn't much weaker than them.

So in their eyes, Jun Xiaoyao was naturally a hot commodity.

This made Ancient Emperor's Son, Ji Dao Yi, and others look on with gloomy expressions.

As fellow supreme forbidden-level prodigies, who was much weaker than the others?

But Jun Xiaoyao could receive such welcome from those great knight teams.

"It seems I've been in seclusion for too long," Ji Dao Yi felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, his identity was special, coming from a forbidden family above the nine heavens.

Moreover, he was the successor of the Human Immortal Sect.

With such status and position, he shouldn't be overshadowed by Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao drew a lot and looked at it.

"Meng family team."

As the words fell, a great knight riding a single-horned war hound laughed and walked toward Jun Xiaoyao.

"Haha, Divine Son, I am Meng Zhan of the Meng family. Welcome to my team, Divine Son!"

Meng Zhan revealed an honest smile on his face.

"Meng Zhan, you're really lucky. The Divine Son actually drew your team."

"Indeed, you'll probably achieve great merit this time!"

The surrounding great knights all enviously said.

"Captain, no need for formalities," Jun Xiaoyao also smiled faintly.

The border guard families weren't just the Cai family, Pang family, Hong family, etc. The Meng family was also one of them, and had always been loyal to their duty.

And at this moment, a voice as clear and cold as a heavenly sound also rang out.

"Meng family team."

Everyone looked over, and their expressions immediately became strange.

Ling Yuan had also drawn Meng Zhan's team.

These two people, one the Celestial Court's Young Sovereign, one the Jun family's Divine Son.

They were the most opposing figures, yet were assigned to the same team.

This was quite fascinating.
