SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1129 - 1129 The Sacred Land of Yaochi

Honestly, Meng Nu'er was also deeply moved.

The last time she had seen Jun Xiaoyao was in the Farshore Continent, when he had come to meet the Mother of the Farshore Flowers.

Back then, he was still the War God of the foreign realm, the first among the Six Kings of World Destruction.

Regarded by many beings of the foreign realm as the hope for overthrowing the Immortal Domain.

Yet how much time had passed since then.

Everything had been turned completely upside down.

This left Meng Nu'er filled with endless emotion — one could only say that fate has a way of playing tricks on people.

"Back then I had no choice but to conceal my identity. I hope Miss Meng won't hold it against me." Jun Xiaoyao said with a calm smile.

"How could I dare. Going forward in the Immortal Domain, I'll still have to rely on Young Master Jun to look after me — after all, this is your turf." Meng Nu'er said with a charming smile.

Jun Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed.

Why did it feel like Meng Nu'er was treating him as the lord of the Immortal Domain?

Though the Jun family did indeed have that kind of power.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also arranged for some Jun family members to properly settle the Farshore clan and have them take root in the Wasteland Immortal Domain.

Once things were mostly taken care of, a few days later, Jun Xiaoyao and his group departed from the Primordial Imperial City.

As for the other prodigies, most had already returned to the Immortal Academy long before.

At the time of departure.

Every guardian clan, including the clan of Scarred Fourth Lord, along with countless guardians, all clasped their hands in salute toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Even in the starry sky above, towering figures appeared.

They were unmistakably several quasi-emperors who stood guard at the frontier.

They too clasped their hands toward Jun Xiaoyao from afar.

"The divine son of the Jun family has vanquished the calamity and protected the frontier and the Immortal Domain — his name shall be recorded in history and shine for ten thousand generations!"

Countless cultivators cheered, looking upon Jun Xiaoyao with absolute reverence.

A vast tide of faith surged into the sea of faith within Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe.

"It is you who deserve respect, generation after generation guarding the frontier."

"I, Jun, am grateful to all of you here, who with flesh and blood have built an unbreakable frontier!"

Jun Xiaoyao also clasped his hands toward the countless soldiers of the Primordial Imperial City and the frontier.

In times of peace, songs of prosperity ring out; in times of chaos, heroes emerge.

Those who truly deserve respect have never been the figures of the three religions and nine schools.

It is these frontier warriors who silently stand guard and selflessly pour out their blood and sweat.

They were worthy of Jun Xiaoyao's respect.

Scarred Fourth Lord and the others had tears streaming down their aged faces.

If before, their respect for Jun Xiaoyao had been because he was the offspring of Jun Wuhui,

then now, Jun Xiaoyao's own personal charisma had completely won everyone over.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's prestige at the frontier

was in no way inferior to that of the White-Robed Divine King, Jun Wuhui.

The two of them were the faith of the frontier.

It could be said that from this day forward, with just a single word from Jun Xiaoyao,

these guardians would absolutely be willing to fight for him!

Such is the will of the people!

Jun Xiaoyao and his group left the Primordial Imperial City.

Following the Ultimate Ancient Path they had come by, they returned to the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

Looking at the ancient path along the way, even Jun Xiaoyao felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

This journey, though less than ten years had passed,

felt incomparably long.

And compared to when he had first set foot on the ancient path, Jun Xiaoyao's current strength was more than enough to become a saint or an ancestor.

His supreme cultivation was sufficient to serve as the founding patriarch of a major power.

The thing was, Jun Xiaoyao was still only around thirty years old.

Among cultivators whose ages routinely ran into the thousands and tens of thousands,

thirty years old was beyond what the word "young" could even describe.

Jun Xiaoyao and his group traveled along the teleportation arrays and made their way through the ancient path.

Along the way, when passing by the Desolate Star and the Serpent Clan's star, Jun Xiaoyao glanced over.

He found that the Ancient Desolate Temple and the Serpent Clan were no longer there.

They had presumably been brought back to the Wasteland Immortal Domain by the Jun Imperial Court.

But that was fine — Jun Xiaoyao would certainly return to the Wasteland Immortal Domain later to see old acquaintances.

Before long, Jun Xiaoyao and his group arrived within the bounds of the Immortal Domain.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Academy was also located within the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, though not in any of its specific regions — it was situated on an immortal island.

"Xiaoyao brother, where are you going now?" Jiang Luoli asked.

Most of them were disciples of the Academy, so many would likely head straight back there.

Of course, some might also want to return to the Wasteland Immortal Domain first.

"You all go your separate ways for now. I still have something to take care of, and I'll head to the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy afterward." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Hearing this, everyone present gave a slight nod.

Those going to the Academy went to the Academy; those returning to the Immortal Domain returned to the Immortal Domain.

"Xiaoyao, you……"

Luo Xiangling looked toward Jun Xiaoyao.

She was reluctant to part from him.

Back in the foreign realm, she had at least been the Luo King, with the War God Academy as a place to belong.

But now, she was alone in the Immortal Domain with no family, no connections, and no power — everything was completely unfamiliar.

The only thing she had was Jun Xiaoyao.

"You can head to the Academy first. It's a place similar to the War God Academy."

"Of course, if you want to go to the Jun family later, that's fine too — I can take you back with me."

Where Jun Xiaoyao needed to go right now was not a place suitable for bringing Luo Xiangling.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Luo Xiangling's cheeks flushed slightly.

Was this about meeting the family?

She gave a small nod of her delicate head and agreed.

Jiang Luoli and the other girls simply watched from the side with a hint of jealousy.

They were well aware that the strikingly beautiful woman before them, like a lotus rising from the water,

was a formidable quasi-emperor not to be trifled with.

Even though Jiang Luoli felt a pang of jealousy, she didn't dare do anything out of line toward Luo Xiangling.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the Azure Sky Great Roc and shot through the air.

But before long, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly stopped and shook his head helplessly. "Why did you follow me again?"

Behind him, a slender and graceful figure appeared — it was Jiang Luoli, who had been secretly trailing him.

"I know where Xiaoyao brother is going." Jiang Luoli said with bright eyes and white teeth, a glimmer of cleverness flowing across her fair forehead.

She had her own little smarts and quick wit.

"Where?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"You're going to the Yaochi Sacred Ground to find Sister Shengyi, right? That's why you didn't dare bring that pretty auntie along." Jiang Luoli said playfully.

"What auntie."

Jun Xiaoyao reached out and knocked lightly on Jiang Luoli's little head.

"Xiaoyao brother, you're out here casting nets everywhere — when I see Sister Shengyi, I'm going to tell on you!"

Jiang Luoli covered her forehead with her small hands and let out a coquettish huff.

Ever since Jun Xiaoyao had returned, she had come back to life, as if reborn.

Only by Jun Xiaoyao's side could she recover some of her former carefree and playful nature.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao gave a faint smile.

It was oddly reminiscent of a doting father spoiling his daughter.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao still brought Jiang Luoli along and headed together to the Yaochi Sacred Ground.

The Yaochi Sacred Ground was located in the Luotian Immortal Domain within the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

Long ago, the Yaochi Sacred Ground had been a renowned immortal power in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

Especially during the era of the Queen Mother of the West, the fame of the Yaochi Sacred Ground had reached its absolute peak.

However, with the fall of the Queen Mother of the West and several great tribulations that followed,

the Yaochi Sacred Ground had declined and was far from what it once was.

Even so, its lingering prestige remained, and it was still a well-known major power in the Luotian Immortal Domain.

After a few days, Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli arrived in the territory of the Luotian Immortal Domain.

It was still peaceful here, with all living beings in harmony.

Though the frontier was filled with iron and fire and endless turmoil, it had clearly not yet reached the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

As for the series of news from the frontier — including Jun Xiaoyao's appearance, the slaying of the ultimate calamity, and other major events —

while word had begun to spread toward the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, it had clearly not yet circulated widely.

Not to mention that many powers had no desire to let the news spread, deliberately delaying and suppressing it to avoid boosting the Jun family's prestige.

So in the Luotian Immortal Domain, not many people were aware of the situation at the frontier.

Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli landed in a human settlement.

The Wind-Taming King suppressed all his aura and did not disturb anyone.

The location of the Yaochi Sacred Ground was easy enough to find with a few casual inquiries.

But at that moment, Jun Xiaoyao overheard many conversations within the town.

"Who knows how many more days the Yaochi Sacred Ground can hold on?"

"Indeed, they've been blockaded at their very gates. A once-great sacred ground, now reduced to such a state."

"Pitiful. Lamentable."

"Those beings are far too arrogant. Do they really dare to bully Yaochi? Aren't they afraid of the Yaochi Saintess — the divine maiden of the Jiang family?"

Hearing these words, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

Something had happened to the Yaochi Sacred Ground?
