Although he missed the opening of the Ancient Immortal World, Jun Xiaoyao didn't really care.

To him, he wasn't worried at all that the other prodigies would surpass him.

So, he was quite at ease cultivating within the Burial Realm.

However, he didn't expect that within the Ancient Immortal World, a member of the Jun family's sequence had actually fallen.

But upon reflection, this was a normal occurrence.

This era is very cruel, and only a very small number of people make it to the end.

Even the top ten sequences of the Jun family couldn't all safely make it through.

With a few sequences dead, naturally, a few talented clan members would be promoted from the Jun family in the future.

It's cold, it's cruel, but it's the truth.

"Although some things are unavoidable, the Ancient Royal Clan and the Fallen God Palace and other forces, you will pay for it." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was indifferent, and his killing intent froze the void.

However, before heading to the Ancient Immortal World, he needed to return to the Jiang family to deliver the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass to Jiang Daoxu.

Soon, Jun Xiaoyao boarded a floating airship and headed towards the Jiang family.

Meanwhile, in a certain region of the Ancient Immortal World.

A figure was swiftly darting through the void.

It was a young girl, dressed in a black gauze dress, slender in figure, and extremely beautiful.

With a casual flap of her black and white Fallen Angel wings, she could soar over a hundred feet of void.

She was none other than Jun Xiaoyao's follower, the inheritor of the Devouring God Demon Technique, Yan Qingying.

Yan Qingying's rate of progress was also extremely fast; as a prodigy from the lower realm, her current cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Void God Realm.

She was only a hair's breadth away from the True God Realm.

This was thanks to her Devouring God Demon Technique, which allowed her to absorb various innate origins, greatly accelerating her growth.

Originally, if Yan Qingying continued cultivating at this speed, she would soon break through to the True God Realm.

However, along the way, someone began secretly organizing a collective hunt against her.

"Yan Qingying, why struggle? You can hide from the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth. Under the call of the Saintess, do you really think you can escape the encirclement?"

"Exactly, the Devouring God Demon Technique shouldn't reappear in the world. The Saintess is compassionate and willing to organize us to crush the Devouring God Demon Technique in its infancy. You should surrender."

Behind Yan Qingying, there were hundreds of prodigies pursuing her.

If it were only a few people, then Yan Qingying could still counterattack.

But with these hundreds of people, it was simply too much.

Among them, the leading prodigies had all reached the late stage or Great Perfection of the Void God Realm.

Yan Qingying alone could not contend against so many.

Moreover, the most important thing was that they were all summoned by one person to encircle her.

"The Holy Church Saintess, Himiko!" A chilling glint flashed in Yan Qingying's obsidian-like beautiful eyes.

The Holy Church, like the Human Immortal Sect and the Demon Immortal Sect, was one of the immortal sects of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, with profound strength and heritage.

This time, with the opening of the Ancient Immortal World, the Holy Church also had two top figures participating.

The Holy Church's Son and the Saintess Himiko.

It was the Saintess Himiko who called upon a multitude of prodigies to hunt her down.

Yan Qingying questioned herself; she had never met Himiko and had never devoured anyone from the Holy Church.

She couldn't understand why Himiko wanted to have her killed.

Could it really be just because she didn't want the Devouring God Demon Technique to appear in the world?

"You will pay for your actions," Yan Qingying said coldly.

The Ancient Immortal World was vast, and entry was through random teleportation.

Thus, Yan Qingying was not with Yi Yu, Wang Chuan, and the others.

Moreover, they each had their own opportunities and would not encounter each other early on.

This led to Yan Qingying's current isolated and helpless situation.

Upon hearing Yan Qingying's words, the prodigies pursuing her subtly changed their expressions.

They knew that Yan Qingying was Jun Xiaoyao's follower.

Surrounding Yan Qingying was tantamount to making a deadly enemy of Jun Xiaoyao.

But thinking that Jun Xiaoyao had yet to appear, these prodigies felt relieved.

"Heh, stop boasting. The Jun family's divine son might not even be able to come out of the Burial Earth alive. Even if he does, his current cultivation is probably not even as good as ours," one of the pursuing prodigies sneered.

"Exactly, and the Ancient Immortal World does not prohibit killing. Several members of the Jun family's sequence have already fallen; do they really care about a mere follower like you?" another prodigy added.

"You're courting death!"

While dodging, Yan Qingying unleashed the Devouring God Demon Technique, once again refining several prodigies into nothingness.

Thus, Yan Qingying fought while retreating, persisting all the while.

She believed that Jun Xiaoyao would definitely return in the most powerful manner!

Just as the various factions in the Ancient Immortal World were embroiled in fierce battles.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao had already returned to the Jiang family.

When the Jiang family members saw Jun Xiaoyao appear, they were all stunned, then erupted into ecstatic cheers.

"Young Master... the Young Master has returned!"

"The Young Master really came back safely from the Eternal Burial Earth!"

"Heavens, this aura... I can't be mistaken, it's the True God Realm!"

Upon sensing Jun Xiaoyao's cultivation aura, all the Jiang family members were left in a daze.

If they didn't know that Jun Xiaoyao had gone to the Burial Earth, they would even suspect that he had just taken a stroll in the Ancient Immortal World.

Otherwise, how could his strength have increased so rapidly, even surpassing those prodigies still training in the Ancient Immortal World?

"Xiaoyao, you finally came back!"

Jiang Rou flashed and appeared in front of Jun Xiaoyao.

She touched his face and patted his shoulder, as if checking if Jun Xiaoyao had been hurt.

After confirming that Jun Xiaoyao was completely unharmed, Jiang Rou sighed in relief and said, "You've been gone for so long; I was so worried about you."

"Mother, you know what I can do for you; there's no need to worry," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

"By the way, where's Grandfather?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Your grandfather's health is getting worse," Jiang Rou's expression dimmed slightly.

"It's alright; I've fulfilled my mission." Jun Xiaoyao took out the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass.

In an instant, the surrounding world fell silent.

The Jiang family members widened their eyes, their mouths agape in silence.

In their expectations, it was already a miracle that Jun Xiaoyao could return safely from the Burial Earth.

What they didn't expect was that Jun Xiaoyao had actually brought back the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass!

"Young Master is mighty!"

"Truly worthy of being our Jiang family's Young Master!"

After a brief moment of silence, there was a wave of fervent cheers.

Jun Xiaoyao had thoroughly proven his strength with his actions.

He truly lived up to the title of Young Master of the Jiang family!

After that, Jun Xiaoyao directly went with Jiang Rou and the others to the small world where Jiang Daoxu was in seclusion.

After nearly a year apart, Jiang Daoxu had aged considerably.

When he saw Jun Xiaoyao return safely, a smile appeared on Jiang Daoxu's old face.

Although he knew Jun Xiaoyao was fine, seeing him return unscathed still brought him great comfort.

"Grandfather, if it weren't for some ancient artifacts you bestowed, I might have been in real danger. Please refine this Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass," Jun Xiaoyao handed over the immortal grass.

"Good, good, good! I, Jiang Daoxu, am so fortunate to have such a grandson!"

Jiang Daoxu laughed heartily, repeating the word "good" three times, clearly overjoyed and proud of Jun Xiaoyao.

Afterward, Jiang Daoxu began to enter seclusion to refine the Nine Marvels Rebirth Immortal Grass.

With this immortal grass, Jiang Daoxu might not return to his previous peak state, but at least his life would be secure.

After resolving the most pressing matters, Jun Xiaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jiang Rou stepped forward and said, "Xiaoyao, Sheng Yi and Luo Li are already in the Ancient Immortal World; you should set off too."
