Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Jiang Shengyi Arrives, Ancient Sacred Weapon, Celestial Observation Mirror
At the same time, on the other side of the Taixu Forest.
A flock of Cyan Qilin Flying Dragons flapped their wings in the air.
Standing proudly on the leading dragon was Dragon Jade Pool.
She wore a sky-blue armor that wrapped around her slender and supple figure, her face beautiful yet not lacking in heroism.
Two blue dragon horns protruded from her hair, like carved jade, faintly glowing.
"The Secret Treasure is finally about to open. This Dragon Maiden must see if that Jun Family’s Divine Son has three heads and six arms," Dragon Jade Pool raised her brows.
She did not underestimate Jun Xiaoyao.
But she also didn’t think Jun Xiaoyao was invincible.
After all, in this era of great contention, Celestial Pride rise, kings vie for supremacy, who can claim to be unbeatable?
Since there isn’t any, Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t be invincible either.
Dragon Jade Pool asked herself, even if she couldn’t suppress Jun Xiaoyao, at least she could retreat safely.
And in this place, besides Dragon Jade Pool from the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
There were also top Ancient Royal Family, young kings from the Nine-headed Lion Race.
And powerful beings from the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s race.
Southern Heaven City.
Jun Xiaoyao and others were ready to depart.
They stepped into the void, instantly attracting attention from all around.
There was no choice, with Jun Xiaoyao’s current popularity, as long as his identity was exposed and recognized, he would attract all eyes wherever he went.
Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind.
At that moment, a soft and tender female voice like a nightingale emerging from the valley sounded.
"Xiaoyao, it’s been a long time."
Hearing this voice, Jun Xiaoyao stopped in his tracks and turned his head.
A group was traversing the void on a flying ship, led by a young woman in a snow robe, with her flowing hair, her garments fluttering, like a fairy descending into the world.
Her immortal beauty was exquisite, as if radiating brilliance, her brows like distant mountains tinting with dark, her eyes brimming with poetic elegance, extremely beautiful, possessing an ethereal and transcendent charm.
Perhaps due to her possessing an Innate Dao Embryo, she was naturally in harmony with the Dao, giving an immensely harmonious and natural feeling.
If not Jiang Shengyi, then who?
"It’s that Divine Maiden of the Jiang Family..." The gaze of many also turned.
Many male cultivators revealed astonishment in their eyes, momentarily mesmerized.
"Little..." Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak.
Jiang Shengyi gently hummed, like reminding something.
"Sister Shengyi." Jun Xiaoyao helplessly changed his words.
"Now that’s right." Jiang Shengyi smiled, her teeth sparkling.
Though she was much more mature than Jiang Luoli, she was ultimately a young lady of blooming age, and her personality wasn’t excessively mature and rigid.
Jun Xiaoyao didn’t expect the one from the Jiang Family to be Jiang Shengyi instead of Jiang Luoli.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao’s expression, Jiang Shengyi teased, "What, disappointed that you didn’t see Luo Li?"
"Not at all," Jun Xiaoyao replied honestly.
He didn’t care about that little short-legged girl.
"She’s being forcefully kept at the family for cultivation, this time she can’t come to see you, it really angered her." Jiang Shengyi said with a smile.
"Let her focus on her cultivation then. By the way, Sister Shengyi, will you be accompanying us on this trip?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Jiang Shengyi was after all his mother’s distant cousin, if possible, he wouldn’t mind taking care of her.
"Really, who’s taking care of whom here?" Jiang Shengyi coquettishly rolled her eyes at Jun Xiaoyao.
Such roles should really be reversed, with her protecting Jun Xiaoyao.
"Alright then, I’ll rely on Sister Shengyi at that time," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently. Anyway, he didn’t need anyone’s protection.
With Jun Xiaoyao casually engaging in cheerful banter with Jiang Shengyi, all the men present revealed envious glances.
Meanwhile, the female cultivators envied Jiang Shengyi’s ability to converse with Jun Xiaoyao.
At that moment, everyone present wasn’t sure whom to envy.
Just then, above the skies of Southern Heaven City, the voice of an elder from Dao Extreme Celestial Sect echoed.
"Everyone, with the commencement of the Primordial Heaven Venerable Secret Treasure, the Immortal Dao Lineage seals the heavens and locks the earth, the older generation of cultivators is not allowed to enter!"
"This time, the Secret Treasure is extremely dangerous, the weak ones, know your limits and retreat, you may preserve your life!"
After the words fell.
A radiant light soared into the sky, suspended above the Taixu Forest.
It was a large mirror, the surface as clear as a jade pool.
"It’s our Jun Family’s Ancient Sacred Weapon, the Celestial Observation Mirror!" Jun Zhangjian said.
The Celestial Observation Mirror could reflect celestial panoramas.
Jun Xiaoyao understood, this was to prevent these Immortal Dao Lineage’s Celestial Pride from falling directly inside the Secret Treasure.
If there was danger, with the Celestial Observation Mirror, they could intervene promptly to assist.
"Let’s depart," Jun Xiaoyao said, flicking his sleeve.
"Yes!"
Behind him, Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Wanjie, Jun Linglong nodded in response, like respectful attendants and maids.
Beside them, Jiang Shengyi also followed along with some Celestial Pride from the Jiang Family.
She too had a look of amazement in her eyes.
"It seems my nephew has begun to rise in great prominence."
...
As Jun Xiaoyao and others headed to the Taixu Forest.
All of Southern Heaven City began to move.
Though the elder had previously cautioned about the immense danger of the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure.
It still couldn’t deter the fervent hearts of these cultivators.
After all, it’s the Secret Treasure of Venerable Powerhouses.
Any opportunity they find could help them rise.
These cultivators were not born into any major forces; they had to seek all resources and opportunities themselves.
The Ji Family’s Ji Xuan and others also set off with a group of Celestial Pride.
At the gate of Southern Heaven City, Xiao Chen in a cloak and hood looked up at the departing figures of Jun Xiaoyao and others, his eyes filled with a hint of hatred and resolve.
"Jun Xiaoyao, wait for me..."
Xiao Chen too rushed towards the Taixu Forest.
Hidden in the shadows behind him, Wu Mingyue also followed.
She was not at ease with Xiao Chen alone in such a perilous Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure.
At the same time, in the Ancient Imperial Race’s camp, Dragon Jade Pool, Nine-headed Lion, and Heaven-Devouring Sparrow also moved together.
The entire region surrounding Taixu Forest was boiling!
Southern Heaven City was barely a thousand miles away from Taixu Forest.
Soon, within a quarter of an hour, Jun Xiaoyao and others arrived outside Taixu Forest.
Jun Xiaoyao looked out at the endless forest spreading with eerie gray mist, shrouded in ominousness.
At the deepest part of the forest, there was a pervasive Venerable Aura, with anomalies manifesting.
Undoubtedly, that was the location of the Primordial Heaven Venerable Secret Treasure.
Only those with the Primordial Heaven Venerable Order could truly delve into the innermost parts of the Secret Treasure.
However, others could still pick up some scraps from outside.
Therefore, all the cultivators were rushing towards the Taixu Forest at this moment.
Simultaneously, within Taixu Forest, Ancient Relic Species roared and pure-blooded creatures bellowed.
They were all maddened by the gray mist, stronger in combat power than usual.
Soon, various battles erupted.
At this moment, Ji Family’s Ji Xuan also arrived, he glanced remotely at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao, sensing it, turned his head, also seeing Ji Xuan.
"He should be that Little Saint of the Ji Family," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
However, beside him, Jun Zhangjian slightly gritted his teeth, his expression somewhat grim.
"Humph, he once exploited his realm to beat me a few moves and then went around proclaiming he defeated someone from the Jun Family’s sequence."
Jun Zhangjian said coldly, feeling greatly displeased.
"Oh, so that’s what happened," Jun Xiaoyao said.
His attention, however, was focused on Ji Xuan’s right arm.
The hand bone of the Saint King, hmm...
Should I seize it...?
