Sacred Body of the Immortals

The Grand Elder was on the verge of tears, deeply regretting his actions.

At this moment, some cultivator casually remarked, "If the Yin-Yang Saint hadn't provoked the Jun Family's Divine Son to challenge the three trials, we might not have witnessed such a miracle."

"Indeed, the Jun Family's Divine Son wasn't interested in the trials before, but these two Saints provoked him - they really overestimated themselves."

The Grand Elder was furious upon hearing these words.

He turned his head, glaring intensely at the two of them.

The Yin-Yang Saint and Xia Lan both turned pale, stammering, "We were only doing this for Brother Ji Xuan and the Sacred Spirit Academy..."

"Useless fools who only cause trouble!" The Grand Elder waved his sleeve.

The two were struck in the chest, spitting blood as they were sent flying again.

If not for their backing from the Yin-Yang Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty, plus their status as Saints, the Grand Elder would have killed them right there.

The Grand Elder flashed to the lakeside.

Looking out, the entire lake was dyed red with blood, with golden-horned flood dragons floating belly-up, completely dead.

"Xiao Qiang, oh Xiao Qiang, what a terrible death..." The Grand Elder cried out upon seeing one of the golden-horned flood dragons.

That was his favorite flood dragon, he had even given it a name.

Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, not expecting that the lake's flood dragons were raised by the Grand Elder.

If he had known earlier...

It probably wouldn't have made any difference.

"Grand Elder, please accept my condolences," Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath, wanting to rage but suppressing it.

At least Jun Xiaoyao showed a decent attitude.

However, in the next moment, Jun Xiaoyao said: "These flood dragons contain dragon bloodline, they'd make excellent ingredients."

With that, Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, his power surging as he collected all the golden-horned flood dragons into his spatial storage device.

The Grand Elder was completely dumbfounded.

Devil!

In his eyes, this Jun Family Divine Son was absolutely a devil!

Now he finally understood why the Academy Head and others warned him to avoid Jun Xiaoyao like the plague.

"The Jun Family's Divine Son is truly ruthless..." many cultivators swallowed hard.

From today onwards, the Sacred Spirit Academy's three trials were effectively nullified.

Except for the first trial's Heaven Stairs that remained, the second and third trials existed in name only.

"As expected of the Jun Family's Divine Son. No wonder Ji Xuan's dao heart was crushed when facing him," Hua Xiqing said in a daze.

Looking at that divine figure shrouded in holy light, like an immortal beyond the mortal realm, Hua Xiqing couldn't help but ask, "Please forgive my boldness, but would I have the honor of discussing the dao with the Divine Son later?"

Hearing her words, many academy disciples were stunned.

Was their academy's Holy Maiden defecting to the enemy?

"Hua Xiqing, you..." The Yin-Yang Saint and Xia Lan's faces froze in disbelief.

She betrayed their cause so quickly?

"The Divine Son possesses transcendent talent that none of us can match. His reasons for defeating Senior Brother Ji Xuan must have been justified," Hua Xiqing explained.

"That's right, it must be so. I think we've misunderstood the Divine Son," said a beautiful senior sister of the academy.

"Indeed it is..." A group of female disciples showed their support.

The male disciples trembled and seethed with anger.

This world that judged by appearances was filled with malice towards them.

Jun Xiaoyao was also speechless.

If harvesting benefits counted as a reason, then he supposed he did have his reasons.

"If I have time later, I don't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Thank you, Divine Son!" Hua Xiqing's face lit up with joy.

She had thought that given Jun Xiaoyao's status, he might reject her.

Unexpectedly, he agreed.

"The Divine Son is truly a gentle person," Hua Xiqing thought to herself.

At this moment, from deep within the Sacred Spirit Academy, mysterious dao sounds began to spread, making listeners feel as if they were comprehending the dao.

Auspicious signs appeared in the sky, with immortal light shining in the firmament.

"The Heavenly Path Tower is opening!" Many young cultivators grew excited.

"It's finally opening?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Breaking the three trials' record meant nothing to him.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't think he had done anything particularly impressive - it was too simple for him.

The Heavenly Path Tower was Jun Xiaoyao's true goal.

All the young geniuses and cultivators from the major forces gathered to head towards the Heavenly Path Tower.

The Heavenly Path Tower was located deep within the Sacred Spirit Academy.

Looking from afar, it reached into the clouds, carrying an ancient aura as if passed down from prehistoric times.

Around the Heavenly Path Tower, profound runes were imprinted in the void, various auspicious beast images appeared, and immortal light flowed hazily.

Many cultivators felt elevated just by looking at it.

Jun Xiaoyao arrived and also sensed a profound dao rhythm.

But at the same time, the Heavenly Path Tower also released a subtle pressure.

The Grand Elder spoke: "Everyone, this opening of the Heavenly Path Tower will be presided over by me. The tower will naturally emit pressure - those with insufficient cultivation or destiny cannot enter."

Hearing this, many young cultivators' faces turned pale.

So those without sufficient talent didn't even qualify to participate in the trial?

"I'll go first," the Golden-Winged Peng Prince spread his wings and flew out.

With his personality, he always rushed to be first in everything.

This time, he also wanted to prove himself - he was not weaker than Jun Xiaoyao!

As soon as the Golden-Winged Peng Prince approached within ten miles of the Heavenly Path Tower, he could no longer fly.

That pressure was not to be underestimated.

The Golden-Winged Peng Prince began to comprehend wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, behind him appeared a giant golden peng soaring into the sky, carrying a dao rhythm.

"There's even such an effect!" many cultivators exclaimed in surprise.

"This is wonderful! I didn't expect this would also be an opportunity that gives insights for my future cultivation path," the Golden-Winged Peng Prince showed a delighted expression.

At this point, many geniuses couldn't hold back and stepped forward.

Fa Hai walked over, and behind him appeared the image of an ancient Buddha.

However, that Buddha seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood light, carrying somewhat ominous implications.

"Oh? That young Buddhist from Western Heaven..." The Grand Elder's eyes showed surprise.

Additionally, Ye Xingyun, Wu Mingyue, and Jun Lingcang also took action.

They each displayed amazing phenomena.

Especially Jun Lingcang - behind him seemed to stand a Supreme Being with heavy pupils, whose eyes could reopen chaos when they blinked.

Ye Xingyun was particularly surprising.

Behind him appeared a terrifying figure wearing the sun, moon and stars.

That phenomenon's aura was not weaker than Jun Lingcang's.

"Why is the Ye family's Star King Body's aura so powerful?" Some cultivators noticed this and were very surprised.

"Hmm? There's something strange about this Ye Xingyun..." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze grew profound.

Seeing the phenomenon displayed by Ye Xingyun, Jun Xiaoyao felt he might be a great destiny bearer like Xiao Chen and Yang Pan.

"Could he be a powerful being reincarnated, a Supreme Being reborn?" Jun Xiaoyao speculated.

If used well, perhaps he could harvest another round of benefits from Ye Xingyun.

The surrounding crowd was also paying attention to Jun Xiaoyao.

With Jun Xiaoyao's prodigious talent, what kind of extraordinary scene would appear?

However, just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to step forward.

From afar, a white lotus flew over, carrying a green-robed figure as ethereal as an immortal maiden.

"That's... the Ji Family's Divine Maiden!" Exclamations rang out.

Many people looked at Jun Xiaoyao again.

Because of Ji Xuan, Jun Xiaoyao and the Ji family now had grudges.

Now that the Ji Family's Divine Maiden had appeared, what sparks would fly between her and the Jun Family's Divine Son?

Many people were anticipating what would happen next.
