Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients

With this, the events of the Heavenly Dao Tower came to a close.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't leave immediately, however, but stayed at the Holy Spirit Academy for a short while. The Holy Spirit Academy was also very generous, giving Jun Xiaoyao a full five hundred Immortal Sources.

Previously, the Yin-Yang Holy Son and the other two had only received about a hundred Immortal Sources from the Holy Spirit Academy in total. Their Immortal Sources were mostly provided by their backing factions, not gifted by the academy.

The Holy Spirit Academy had truly invested heavily this time.

Jun Xiaoyao was also very satisfied. Adding the Immortal Sources he obtained from the Martial Gathering before, he now had over a thousand Immortal Sources on him, enough to satisfy the upcoming tempering of his Da Luo Immortal Bone.

During this period, Hua Xiqing had also taken the initiative to visit, blushing, wanting to discuss the Dao with Jun Xiaoyao. This successor of the Hundred Flowers Dao Palace had thoroughly fallen for him.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't refuse and casually chatted with her about life and ideals. Hua Xiqing left with a satisfied expression.

While Jun Xiaoyao was staying at the Holy Spirit Academy, news of the events at the Heavenly Dao Tower spread like wildfire throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

All who heard it were in an uproar.

Breaking the Heavenly Dao Tower's fifty-level age-old record. Casually and single-handedly crushing the Golden-Winged Little Roc King and the Little Western Heaven's Child of Buddha. Becoming the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy.

Each of these events, if spread individually, would be enough to cause a massive sensation.

And all these feats were accomplished by Jun Xiaoyao alone. This was terrifying.

All the glory fell upon Jun Xiaoyao's head alone. Compared to him, whether it was Jun Lingcang or Ji Qingyi, they could only appear dim and lackluster, let alone other prodigies.

"Haha, Xiaoyao never disappoints!" In the Jun Clan, relatives like Jun Zhantian and Jiang Rou were overjoyed, filled with pride for Jun Xiaoyao. The other clan elders of the Jun Family were also very happy. This time, with the Jun Clan dominating the Heavenly Dao Tower's leaderboards, it was enough to elevate the Jun Clan's prestige even further.

In contrast, the hostile factions all had ugly expressions.

Hong Province, within the Dragon Palace. Xiao Chen slammed his fist fiercely onto the ground, his face savage. Every piece of news about Jun Xiaoyao plunged him back into despair. Now, let alone himself, Xiao Chen wasn't even sure if Princess Longji could defeat Jun Xiaoyao. However, sensing Princess Longji's increasingly powerful aura, Xiao Chen ultimately clung to a sliver of hope. "Once Princess Longji fully acclimates to the aura of this world, it will be Jun Xiaoyao's time to die!" Xiao Chen said coldly.

On another side, Panwu Divine Dynasty, Champion Marquis's Mansion. After hearing some news about Wu Mingyue and Jun Xiaoyao, Yang Pan's face flushed with shame and rage. In his fury, he directly killed over a dozen servants, and all the servants in the Champion Marquis's Mansion trembled in fear. "Jun Xiaoyao, you truly deserve to die!" Yang Pan fumed. Although he hadn't successfully become the Imperial Son-in-Law, he had subconsciously already considered Wu Mingyue his woman. Yet Wu Mingyue had become so close to Jun Xiaoyao. This was unacceptable to Yang Pan. He panted heavily, his eyes bloodshot, like a furious lion. "Calm down. Once I find the remaining Pan Emperor Sword of Time and Pan Emperor Sword of Void, I'll have enough power to kill that Jun Xiaoyao." "The Lower Realm... perhaps this is an opportunity for me..." Yang Pan's eyes flickered. Previously, the Panwu Divine Lord had summoned him to the palace and told him about a major event. The Ten Lands of the Lower Realm were on the verge of a drastic upheaval. The transformation of even one realm could stir up endless storms. Let alone the great change across ten realms. When heaven-defying opportunities appeared then, it would be a terrifying battle of life and death, with blood flowing for millions of miles. "'A man can't get rich without a windfall, just as a horse can't get fat without night fodder.' With my, Yang Pan's, fortune, why would I worry about lacking opportunities in the Lower Realm?" Yang Pan sneered. The day he made his comeback would be the day Jun Xiaoyao met his doom!

...

Desolate Ancient Ye Clan, atop a solitary peak that rose a thousand fathoms like a sheer wall. A lean figure in black was seated cross-legged on the solitary peak, accompanied only by a divine condor. This place was a forbidden area of the Ye Clan. Without permission, even some clan elders could not take a single step inside. That black-clad figure was a handsome youth in black. His eyes were closed, and in front of him, a sword was thrust diagonally into the ground. It was stained with mottled blood, seeming to contain a monstrous killing aura and sword intent. At this moment, outside the solitary peak, a Ye Clan elder cupped his hands slightly and spoke, "Senior Ye, this old one has a matter to disturb you with." This Ye Clan elder was a Great Saint realm expert, with white hair. It was hard to imagine that he would cup his hands in respect to the black-clad youth and even address him as 'Senior.' This was simply against all reason.

Atop the solitary peak, the black-clad youth slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, this Ye Clan elder felt a terrifying sword intent, as if it wanted to slice him to pieces. What terrifyingly profound eyes! The youth's eyes seemed to contain the vicissitudes of ages, possessing a depth and introversion that did not belong to someone of his age. "What is it?" the youth asked slowly.

Next, the Ye Clan elder informed the youth about the impending chaos in the Ten Lands. Furthermore, he also told the youth about Jun Xiaoyao's achievements in the Heavenly Dao Tower. The youth remained silent for a moment, the atmosphere suffocating. The Ye Clan elder, trembling with fear, glanced at the blood-stained sword, a chill running down his spine. "Is that the sword stained with an Emperor's blood?" the Ye Clan elder sighed inwardly. That black-clad youth was none other than the Ye Clan's renowned, widely rumored Sword Devil reincarnation, Ye Guchen!

"The chaos in the Ten Lands has nothing to do with me." "As for that Jun Xiaoyao..." Ye Guchen's expression was calm. He did not feel the slightest apprehension towards Jun Xiaoyao because of the various miracles he had created. This was the pride belonging to the Sword Devil. He feared no existence, past or present! "Now is not my time to enter the world. Have you ever heard the saying?" Ye Guchen closed his eyes. "What saying?" the Ye Clan elder asked. "Kings do not meet!"

Ye Guchen's words caused tens of thousands of sword qis to surge around the solitary peak. That Emperor-Slaying Sword, stained with an Emperor's blood, also burst forth with a monstrous sword qi, seemingly capable of cleaving the ten directions of the universe! The Ye Clan elder's heart trembled violently! Kings do not meet! If they meet, blood must be spilled! The Jun Clan's Divine Child was a King! And his Ye Clan's Sword Devil reincarnation was also a King!

The Ye Clan elder cupped his hands and retreated, not daring to disturb further. Ye Guchen raised his hand and slowly caressed the body of the Emperor-Slaying Sword. "Old friend," he murmured, "after countless ages, does the world still remember, beneath that starry sky... ...the demonic shadow of one man, one sword, slaying a Great Emperor..."

...

Just as the various factions in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain were shaken by the news of Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Xiaoyao himself was preparing to return to the Jun Clan. The Great Elder of the Holy Spirit Academy and others personally escorted Jun Xiaoyao on his departure. Although Wu Mingyue was reluctant, she also had to return to the Panwu Divine Dynasty. This, however, brought a sigh of relief to Jun Linglong.

"Next, I'll go home to digest this harvest, continue to comprehend the meaning of reincarnation, and then temper the Da Luo Immortal Bone." Jun Xiaoyao already had a plan in mind. He vaguely sensed that the turmoil in the Lower Realm was about to begin. At that time, he would need even greater strength to face all challenges. "The latter volume of the Physique Scripture, the World's Origin, the Ten Heaven-Defying Children... so many opportunities and 'leeks' are waiting for me to harvest..."
