Previously, some enthusiasts had selected the four most prominent prodigies in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

The Divine Son of the Jun Family.

The Young Emperor of the Wang Family.

The First Generation of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest.

The Reincarnated Sword Demon of the Ye Family.

In the blink of an eye, among these four most prominent prodigies, only Ye Guchen remained to campaign on the Emperor's Path, which was quite lamentable.

Just as Ye Guchen emerged from seclusion, causing shock in all directions.

In Hong Province, at the Ancestral Dragon's Nest headquarters, an astonishing aura erupted from deep within the mountain range.

Many ancient race beings in the surrounding area sensed that terrifying presence and couldn't help but turn their gaze toward it.

A figure soared into the sky like a flaming meteor.

Shockingly, around this figure, there were the phantom images of both an ancestral dragon and a divine phoenix.

Under the backdrop of the ancestral dragon and true phoenix, that figure appeared like a Dragon-Phoenix Emperor, emanating a heart-palpitating aura.

The faintly released realm pressure had actually reached the great perfection of the Dao God realm, just a hair's breadth away from the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Heavens, with such a powerful realm, could that be the Dragon-Phoenix Body jointly created by the Ancestral Dragon's Nest and the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain?"

"It's said this Dragon-Phoenix Body has refined complete Ancestral Dragon blood and Divine Phoenix blood, with limitless potential, their talent definitely not inferior to the former Divine Son of the Jun Family."

While many divine thoughts were communicating in all directions.

This young figure wrapped in dragon and phoenix phantoms spoke coldly: "Long Aotian has become the past."

"Princess Long Ji, actually willing to become a mount, is equally a disgrace to the Ancestral Dragon's Nest."

"Huang Tiange, Feng Luofei, are all useless beings, that ancient freak Huang Jiuyan is barely worthy of notice."

"The reason Jun Xiaoyao could previously shake the four directions was because I, Long Xuhuang, had not yet emerged!"

This figure was none other than the Dragon-Phoenix Body, Long Xuhuang!

Long Xuhuang strode through the air, a dragon and phoenix appearing beneath his feet, carrying his body as he crossed the firmament, leaving countless shocked gazes behind.

It could be said that with Ye Guchen, Long Xuhuang and other top prodigies emerging from seclusion.

Throughout the entire Desolate Celestial Realm, countless prodigies began heading toward the Emperor's Path.

At the Jiang Family in Qing Province, atop a cliff, a snow-robed peerless beauty stood against the wind, like a clear new moon, like snow piled on jade trees.

The breeze lifted her snow-white hair at the temples, disturbing her painting-like immortal countenance.

It was none other than Jiang Shengyi.

Different from before, Jiang Shengyi's full head of black hair had actually turned completely snow-white.

This was because, after learning of Jun Xiaoyao's life tablet shattering, Jiang Shengyi's black hair had turned white overnight.

Black in the morning, snow-white by dusk!

The full head of black hair turned snow-white, adding a touch of tragic beauty to Jiang Shengyi's flawless immortal countenance.

Behind her, Jiang Luoli's figure appeared.

Unchanged was her height of one meter fifty.

Changed was that somewhat haggard delicate face.

Jiang Luoli had also been quite tormented this past year, wasting away for Jun.

"Sister Shengyi, the Emperor's Path has opened, the clan elders want us to set out," said Jiang Luoli.

Jiang Shengyi remained silent.

After a long while, she suddenly spoke: "I like Xiaoyao."

Jiang Luoli was slightly stunned, not expecting Jiang Shengyi to choose this moment to suddenly confess.

Jiang Luoli also revealed a bitter smile and said: "Sister Shengyi, even if Luoli is foolish, I'm not so slow as to not realize this?"

What should have been guessed, she had already guessed.

Those who understand, understand, many things need not be said explicitly.

"Luoli, I'm sorry," Jiang Shengyi murmured.

The wind blew, lifting her snow-white hair, tragically beautiful.

Seeing Jiang Shengyi like this, what more could Jiang Luoli say.

She smiled bitterly and said: "What use is there in saying these things now, let's wait for Brother Xiaoyao to return, Luoli believes Brother Xiaoyao absolutely won't die."

"Mm, I also believe Xiaoyao won't die, so, I want to go to the Emperor's Path, to become stronger, I can't drag Xiaoyao down," Jiang Shengyi's eyes were determined.

As an Innate Dao Embryo, she had gained tremendous improvement during the spiritual energy revival, and her cultivation was now at the Dao God realm, not too far from Quasi-Saint.

Looking at Jiang Shengyi, there was also a trace of gloom in Jiang Luoli's big eyes.

Compared to her, this mischievous, unambitious, and useless shortie.

Jun Xiaoyao probably preferred gentle and understanding big sisters like Jiang Shengyi who would support and encourage from behind.

"I really can't accept this..." Jiang Luoli clenched her pink fists, determination appearing in her big eyes for the first time.

Jiang Luoli also wanted to work hard to become stronger, she believed that even shorties would have their day.

The Jiang Family's group of prodigies also set out on the Emperor's Path.

And the Jun Family's Jun Moxiao, Jun Linghan and others also set out on the Emperor's Path.

Yi Yu, Yan Qingying and others also set out.

Princess Long Ji, who had been staying at the Jun Family, also departed.

"Jun Xiaoyao, will your name resound again on the Emperor's Path?" Princess Long Ji murmured.

She actually didn't really believe Jun Xiaoyao had perished either.

How could someone so calculating possibly put themselves in mortal danger?

There were quite a few others who shared Princess Long Ji's thoughts.

Many people believed that if Jun Xiaoyao had truly perished, the Jun Family's reaction was far too calm.

Many people were looking forward to perhaps one day hearing the three words "Jun Xiaoyao" resounding through the starry sky again.

Time continued to flow.

Nearly another year passed, and many prodigies had already begun making names for themselves on the trial Emperor's Path.

As for Jun Xiaoyao's name, it gradually ceased to be mentioned.

However, some attentive people also noticed.

If Jun Xiaoyao were still alive, he would be eighteen years old now.

Just the age for the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Sigh, if Jun Xiaoyao hadn't entered the Bronze Immortal Palace, he might have reached the Quasi-Saint realm by now, an eighteen-year-old Quasi-Saint, just thinking about it is frightening."

"Yes, walking the Emperor's Path with Quasi-Saint cultivation, if not sweeping through it, at least he'd be an absolute powerhouse."

"What use is there in discussing these things now?"

"But I heard the Jun Family seems to intend to hold an eighteenth birthday coming-of-age celebration feast for Jun Xiaoyao."

"What, really? The person is dead and they still want to hold a coming-of-age ceremony?"

As this news spread, many cultivators in the Desolate Celestial Realm were extremely surprised.

Had the Jun Family gone mad, holding a coming-of-age ceremony for a fallen prodigy?

Then afterwards, an even more shocking piece of news was leaked.

There were rumors that the Reincarnation Devil Sect's treasury had manifested.

At this point, many people understood, so the Jun Family was making an open move to conceal their true purpose.

On the surface using Jun Xiaoyao's eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony as a front to attract attention from various powers in the immortal realm.

While secretly trying to find ways to monopolize the Reincarnation Devil Sect's treasury.

The Reincarnation Devil Sect was after all an immortal power, so their treasury would naturally be priceless.

Not to mention there were rumors that the sect's emperor weapon, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, was hidden within the treasury.

Even the wealthy and powerful Jun Family couldn't possibly ignore the Reincarnation Devil Sect's treasury.

As for why people believed the Jun Family had the ability to obtain the Reincarnation Devil Sect's treasury.

That was naturally because Wangchuan, the successor of the Reincarnation Devil Sect, was still staying with the Jun Family.

Only he could find the correct location of the Reincarnation Devil Sect's treasury and open its doors to obtain the resources within.

And this was clearly not something that hostile powers like the Ancient Emperor Clans were willing to see.
