SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Lingyuan's beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, her expression somewhat displeased.

It was truly a case of enemies always meeting.

The "Jun" character mark on her thigh still made her feel uncomfortable.

"Young Master Jun..." Tiannu Yuan beside her also revealed concern.

She knew that Lingyuan, Ancient Emperor's Son, and others must have some secret plan.

Now that Lingyuan and Jun Xiaoyao were assigned to the same team, wouldn't it be easier to plot against Jun Xiaoyao?

"Elder, I feel this arrangement is inappropriate. Perhaps we should reassign the teams," Ancient Emperor's Son said with cupped hands to Scarface Fourth Master.

He naturally didn't want Lingyuan and Jun Xiaoyao to be on the same team.

"That's not possible."

Meng Zhan immediately objected.

The two strongest young individuals of the current generation had both been assigned to his team.

How could he possibly give that up?

"Let's follow the rules," Scarface Fourth Master shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter. This princess is not inferior to anyone," Lingyuan's delicate eyebrows relaxed as she let it go.

She actually wanted to compare with Jun Xiaoyao to see whose abilities were stronger.

"Sigh..." Jun Xiaoyao let out a soft sigh.

"What do you mean by that?" Lingyuan's phoenix eyes lifted slightly as she coldly snorted.

"A burden and trouble," Jun Xiaoyao replied honestly.

"You..." Lingyuan secretly gritted her teeth.

She could maintain her cold demeanor with everyone else, but only Jun Xiaoyao could make her lose composure.

Next, the teams were finalized.

Everyone received a merit jade token to record the alien beings they killed.

Different levels of beings were worth different merit points.

Naturally, alien beings with higher talent and status would be worth more merit points.

"Divine Son, in this Divine Ruins World, alien beings from royal clans might appear. They are more terrifying than ordinary alien beings," Meng Zhan said.

They were battle-hardened veterans who naturally understood the alien realm better than talented youths like Jun Xiaoyao.

"However, correspondingly, the merit points will be higher."

"If one kills beings from the legendary Immortal Emperor Clans, the merit points would be astonishing," Meng Zhan said with a smack of his lips.

But he was just talking hypothetically.

How powerful and terrifying were beings from Immortal Emperor Clans? Their battle prowess far exceeded cultivators of the same level from the Immortal Realm.

Even the younger generation of such beings couldn't be killed by a quasi-supreme being like himself.

And at this level of conflict, beings from Immortal Emperor Clans probably wouldn't appear anyway.

"Immortal Emperor Clans? I actually hope they do show up," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed darkly.

The alien realm had just as many powerful factions as the Immortal Realm.

Powerful General Clans, the Hundred Great Royal Clans, Immortal Emperor Clans, and so on.

Jun Xiaoyao actually hoped to get an early glimpse of the top young powerhouses from the alien realm.

To see just how strong they really were.

"Alright everyone, it's about time to depart," Scarface Fourth Master waved his hand.

His expression was somewhat solemn.

Once these talented youths entered the Divine Ruins World, they could only rely on themselves.

But with the alien chaos about to rise, the Immortal Realm couldn't afford to have hothouse flowers.

Without the test of blood and fire, how could one stand at the pinnacle of this era?

Rumble!

The beasts under the Great Knights trampled across the starry river, and the crowd moved majestically toward the Divine Ruins World.

In the void, divine light rippled as spatial gates appeared, leading to the interior of the giant blue lotus—the Divine Ruins World.

Jun Xiaoyao's Meng family team also entered.

Instantly, space distorted, light shimmered, and everything spun around them.

When everyone's vision cleared again, they couldn't help but look around.

This was a dark, profound, and desolate starry void.

Broken celestial bodies floated within.

Various blood-stained stars, broken ancient weapons, and giant white skeletons were scattered throughout.

A sense of desolation and bleakness permeated the air.

Everyone could still smell a bloody scent.

"This is the Divine Ruins World?"

All the talented youths visiting for the first time were shocked.

They had thought the Divine Ruins World might be like the Lower Ten Lands, a massive continental space.

Who would have thought it was actually a vast, boundless universe!

Without careful perception, one couldn't tell the difference between the Divine Ruins World and the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

If one had to point out differences, it would be that the spiritual energy in the Divine Ruins World was far inferior to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

And various rules were not as perfect and stable as those in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

But this was already astonishing.

"So this is the inner universe of a Mythical Emperor. When will this princess have such a world within her?"

Even Lingyuan was slightly dazed, her jade hand reaching toward the void, as if sensing something.

Among all the talented youths, only Jun Xiaoyao's face showed no ripples, with only a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"The Divine Son doesn't seem surprised. To be honest, I was shocked for quite a while the first time I came," Meng Zhan smiled.

"Heh..." Jun Xiaoyao smiled without saying anything.

He naturally wouldn't say that he already had such an inner universe within himself.

Even Meng Zhan, a quasi-supreme being, hadn't yet developed an inner universe.

"As expected of the Azure Emperor. Although some Immortal Realm rules still remain, he has evolved his own rules,"

Jun Xiaoyao thought after careful observation.

Throughout history, the inner universes developed by the vast majority of powerful beings were derived from the rules of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

After all, not everyone could be like Jun Xiaoyao, forging their own path.

Using their own Dao to open up their own universe.

The Azure Emperor was a chaos blue lotus born in the chaos of the Immortal Realm.

The Azure Emperor's inner universe was naturally evolved from the Immortal Realm's rules.

However, what was impressive was that the Azure Emperor could gradually transform the inner universe based on Immortal Realm rules into his own.

That was quite something.

Although the transformation wasn't complete in the end, it could still inspire Jun Xiaoyao.

"In the future, this princess will definitely develop such an inner universe, establish a divine country, and have all beings worship me."

Lingyuan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and when she looked at Jun Xiaoyao, there seemed to be a challenge, wanting to compete with him.

Jun Xiaoyao ignored her.

If he wanted to compete, Lingyuan would have already lost.

But Jun Xiaoyao wasn't complacent either. He knew the gap between his inner universe and the Azure Emperor's was immeasurable.

The Divine Ruins World already possessed life rules, and in this aspect alone, Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe couldn't compare.

"Right, the World Tree—that's one of my main objectives."

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly remembered his purpose.

The World Tree was too important for the growth of his inner universe.

He turned to ask Meng Zhan: "Captain Meng, I've heard there's a World Tree in the Divine Ruins World. Do you know where it is?"

Lingyuan also looked over with interest, as she was naturally interested in the World Tree too.

Meng Zhan said: "Indeed, I've heard of it. It seems to be in the deepest core of the Divine Ruins World, but I've heard there's a powerful seal left by the Azure Emperor, and no one can enter."

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao wasn't disappointed.

If the World Tree were so easy to obtain, how would it be his turn to get it?

"Unable to enter? Not necessarily. If I use that method..."

Jun Xiaoyao pondered, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

He thought of a somewhat crazy method.
