The old man was so excited that he became incoherent, unable to speak clearly.

Only his cloudy old eyes carried a deep reverence, as if he had seen a deity of his faith.

He bent his knees, about to kneel before Jun Xiaoyao.

The rest of the villagers from Great Wilderness Village were also about to kneel together.

Jun Xiaoyao lightly waved his sleeve.

Everyone discovered that an invisible force was supporting them, preventing them from kneeling.

This made everyone's eyes fill with even more reverence.

This young Sacred Body must possess extraordinary power!

"Elder, please speak clearly. To be honest, I'm completely confused," Jun Xiaoyao said with a light smile.

Why were these people suddenly trying to kneel before him?

Nearby, Ning Chen and little Xuan Xuan, sensing Jun Xiaoyao's Ancient Sacred Body aura, also showed surprised and reverent expressions.

"He's like big uncle..." little Xuan Xuan murmured.

In her heart, big uncle was the man who protected their Great Wilderness Village, a true hero!

And this handsome young man before her actually had the same physique as big uncle.

This made little Xuan Xuan incredibly surprised and delighted.

"My lord, this old one was being presumptuous," the old man said with cupped hands.

Compared to his previous attitude, he was now much more respectful.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao was respectfully invited into Great Wilderness Village by all the villagers.

The old man's name was Ning Defa.

He looked at the dilapidated house with bare walls and appeared somewhat embarrassed.

"My humble home is simple. I hope my lord doesn't mind," Ning Defa said respectfully.

"Elder, there's no need for such formality. I just want to know some truths," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

"My lord, are you really... an Ancient Sacred Body..." Ning Defa asked with a trembling voice.

He seemed unable to believe it, as if he were dreaming.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and forced out a drop of blood from his palm.

The blood was as red as agate, with threads of golden light, appearing extremely noble.

This single drop of blood immediately made some villagers feel their own blood boiling.

Although they only had a thin bloodline of the Ancient Sacred Body, they could clearly feel a certain resonance in their blood.

"Indeed! My lord has finally come to the Desolate Star!" Ning Defa was extremely excited.

They had waited for so long, even thinking that no new Ancient Sacred Body would ever come to the Desolate Star.

"What exactly is going on here?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Ning Defa sighed and began to tell Jun Xiaoyao some things.

Their Great Wilderness Village was descended from the Temple Guardians lineage.

The so-called Temple Guardians protected the Ancient Sacred Temple.

The Temple Guardians lineage consisted of followers of the Ancient Sacred Body.

Their ancestors had received blood bestowals from ancient Sacred Bodies, thus they had thin Ancient Sacred Body bloodlines flowing in their veins.

It could be said that the Temple Guardians lineage was the most loyal guardians and followers of the Ancient Sacred Body.

The Ancient Sacred Body was extremely rare, with only a few appearing in each era.

But the Temple Guardians lineage was numerous and extremely powerful.

The Ancient Sacred Temple once had a period of extreme glory.

At its peak, the Ancient Sacred Temple simultaneously possessed three Ancient Sacred Bodies, making its name resound far and wide, dominating the Immortal Realm.

Even immortal forces trembled in fear, not daring to contend with the Ancient Sacred Temple.

"I never imagined the Ancient Sacred Temple had such a past..." Jun Xiaoyao was very surprised, murmuring to himself.

He hadn't expected that there was once such a powerful Ancient Sacred Body force.

Jun Xiaoyao also recalled the Fallen Sacred Body he had obtained earlier.

Now it seemed that the Fallen Sacred Body must have known about the Ancient Sacred Temple.

Or perhaps he believed that the Ancient Sacred Temple was a pilgrimage site for Ancient Sacred Bodies.

There, Ancient Sacred Bodies could achieve unprecedented transformation.

"But if the Ancient Sacred Temple was so prosperous, why is it now unknown in the Immortal Realm, and why has the Desolate Star become like this?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered.

Hearing this, Ning Defa sighed deeply and said: "My lord is also an Ancient Sacred Body, so you should know that in the near-ancient times, the laws of heaven and earth changed dramatically, imposing ten shackles to restrict the Ancient Sacred Body."

"Not only the Ancient Sacred Body, but even we Temple Guardians, because we contain Ancient Sacred Body bloodlines, had our powers greatly restricted."

"Of course, even so, the Ancient Sacred Temple wouldn't have declined so directly if not for the ancient Domineering Body..."

When Ning Defa spoke of this, a trace of hatred flashed in his old eyes.

The Celestial Domineering Body was the sworn enemy of the Ancient Sacred Body.

As loyal followers of the Ancient Sacred Body, they naturally hated the Celestial Domineering Body intensely.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression became solemn, feeling he might be about to learn some truths.

"My lord must have heard when coming to the Desolate Star that an invincible Ancient Sacred Body was once killed by a Celestial Domineering Body in this star region," Ning Defa said, his voice slightly choked.

"Yes, is there more to this story?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Of course. The Ancient Sacred Body is an invincible lineage. Even restricted by the heavenly shackles, they shouldn't have been killed by a Celestial Domineering Body."

"That's because that Ancient Sacred Body was a former temple master of the Ancient Sacred Temple, with overwhelming power."

"To protect the Immortal Realm, he once battled three Immortal Kings from the Otherworld, killing one and severely injuring the other two!"

As Ning Defa spoke of this, his eyes were full of reverence and fervor.

The other villagers of Great Wilderness Village also showed expressions of respect and devotion.

Jun Xiaoyao was surprised by these words.

Otherworld Immortal Kings were leaders of immortal imperial clans, all emperor-level powerhouses.

That Ancient Sacred Body could simultaneously fight three Immortal Kings, kill one, and severely injure two.

This feat was simply invincible!

"Of course, although that great one was powerful, he also paid a huge price, returning severely injured from the Otherworld."

"What's most hateful is that the Celestial Domineering Body of that era, extremely treacherous, took this opportunity to challenge him, wanting to determine superiority between them."

"That great one could have refused to fight, but that would have damaged the Sacred Body's reputation, and his pride as a Sacred Body wouldn't allow him to back down."

By this point in Ning Defa's story, his voice was already choked with emotion.

Although strictly speaking, they were only followers of the Ancient Sacred Body lineage.

But their blood already contained Ancient Sacred Body bloodlines.

In a sense, they could also be considered descendants of the Ancient Sacred Body.

That Ancient Sacred Body could be considered their ancestor.

What happened next didn't need to be explained by Ning Defa.

The result was undoubtedly what became the currently circulated story.

The only part erased was the episode of the Ancient Sacred Body single-handedly fighting against three Immortal Kings from the Otherworld.

"The current legend has become like this, probably with the help of the Cang family's manipulation," Jun Xiaoyao suddenly said with a cold smile.

History has always been written by the victors.

Since the Celestial Domineering Body won in the end, they naturally wouldn't let the story of the Sacred Body killing an Otherworld Immortal King be passed down.

"Exactly. The Cang family are descendants and followers of the Celestial Domineering Body lineage, naturally at odds with us Temple Guardians."

"They altered history, erased the Sacred Body's achievements, and attributed all glory to the Celestial Domineering Body," Ning Defa said, clenching his fists, harboring deep resentment.

The glory of the Ancient Sacred Body, the achievement of killing an Otherworld Immortal King, went untold.

While that despicable Celestial Domineering Body stepped on the name of the Ancient Sacred Body to achieve eternal fame.

Later generations of Celestial Domineering Bodies even took pride in this.

"Vileness is the passport of the vile, nobility is the epitaph of the noble," Jun Xiaoyao said coldly, hands behind his back.

This was also why Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to be a hero.

Why should his merits and faults be judged by others?

"Celestial Domineering Body, just wait. What you'll face next is an Ancient Sacred Body who doesn't play by the rules," Jun Xiaoyao said with a cold smile.

He was not like that Sacred Body who, with great love for all, killed an Immortal King but ended up with the name of a loser.

Jun Xiaoyao wasn't that selfless. Now he just wanted to destroy the Cang family and the Celestial Domineering Body!
