Jiang Shengyi left.
Along with her were Yu Qingning and the Divine Silkworm Princess who had returned to her original form.
Jiang Shengyi knew that this journey to the Yaochi Sacred Land would greatly benefit her cultivation.
Moreover, she possessed the Yaochi Immortal Scripture, which could help the Yaochi Sacred Land rise again.
It was even possible that Jiang Shengyi might become the new generation leader of the Yaochi Sacred Land in the future.
After all, she was still the disciple of Yu Qingning, the ancient sect leader.
Although Jiang Shengyi felt reluctant to leave, she departed decisively, without dragging things out or any tearful farewells.
She was also an independent and strong woman who wouldn't cling to Jun Xiaoyao.
Separation was for the sake of a longer future together.
"Hey, Brother Xiaoyao, you're staring blankly. She's already gone," Jiang Luoli teased, waving her small hand in front of Jun Xiaoyao's face.
"No, I've rested long enough. I should also start cultivating," Jun Xiaoyao smiled with acceptance.
He wasn't the type to indulge in romantic sentiments.
Moreover, the news about Jun Wuhui and the new emperor of the foreign realm had put great pressure on Jun Xiaoyao.
He needed to progress quickly.
And the greatest opportunity ahead would be the ultimate trial at the end of the ancient path.
Jun Xiaoyao also needed to prepare well for that.
Next, he planned to seclude himself for a period of time to cultivate the Life Book.
He also needed to transfer the Spring of Life into his inner universe.
However, before that, Jun Xiaoyao glanced at A-Jiu.
He suddenly said, "A-Jiu, you can move freely now. You don't need to protect me in secret anymore."
Hearing this, A-Jiu's pupils flickered with a slight ripple of emotion.
"Young Master, why?"
"With your talent, A-Jiu, if you hadn't been secretly following me all this time, your current realm should be beyond the Minor Celestial Venerable boundary," Jun Xiaoyao said.
A-Jiu had sacrificed too much of her time to be his protector.
"A-Jiu doesn't mind," A-Jiu replied.
She had followed Jun Wuhui and was from the same era as him.
Although she appeared stunningly beautiful, the traces of years settled in her eyes.
This revealed her age, much older than both Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli.
However, this accumulation of years hadn't diminished A-Jiu's charm in the slightest.
Instead, it gave her a special mature and steady allure that came from seeing through worldly affairs.
This was a unique charm that neither Jiang Shengyi nor Jiang Luoli possessed.
"You may not mind, but I can't hold you back," Jun Xiaoyao said.
After a brief moment of silence, A-Jiu slightly nodded and said, "Very well. Since it's the Young Master's wish, A-Jiu will comply."
A-Jiu turned around, about to leave.
"Wait," Jun Xiaoyao said.
A-Jiu paused her steps.
"Thank you for everything all this time," Jun Xiaoyao cupped his hands toward A-Jiu, his tone extremely sincere.
He was expressing gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"Just a cupped-hand salute as thanks?" A-Jiu's lips suddenly curled into a faint smile.
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned.
He looked at the woman before him with flowing black hair like a waterfall and beauty so exquisite it seemed dreamlike.
He stepped forward and gently embraced her.
A-Jiu's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes rippling with emotion.
She had merely made a small joke in jest, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to respond this way.
But A-Jiu didn't resist either, and likewise gently embraced Jun Xiaoyao.
A simple, warm hug.
"A-Jiu, before you protected my safety, from now on, I will ensure you remain unharmed for a lifetime," Jun Xiaoyao whispered in A-Jiu's ear.
A city-toppling smile appeared on A-Jiu's dreamlike face.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Finally, A-Jiu also left.
She began her own path of cultivation.
At least until Jun Xiaoyao had completely grown into a powerhouse.
A-Jiu wanted to progress further, and then continue to silently protect Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching A-Jiu's departing figure, Jun Xiaoyao sighed softly.
At this moment, he sensed resentful eyes staring at him from behind.
Jun Xiaoyao turned around and saw Jiang Luoli with her cheeks puffed out.
"Brother Xiaoyao... you playboy!"
Jiang Luoli glared at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jiang Shengyi had just left, and he was already hugging another woman. Wasn't this solid proof he was a playboy?
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
This was just a hug of gratitude, without any other meaning.
Afterward, Jiang Luoli was also about to leave.
Of course, not because she was angry with Jun Xiaoyao.
Rather, she had her own path to follow.
Especially after obtaining the broken Elemental Spirit Realm, Jiang Luoli needed to seek other opportunities to repair it and then completely refine it.
Having transformed into the Elemental Spirit Immortal Body, if she could completely refine the Elemental Spirit Realm, her cultivation realm would definitely surge.
"Finally, I'm left alone," Jun Xiaoyao exhaled softly.
Except for Princess Longji who was receiving the Nine-Fingered Dragon Emperor's legacy, only he remained.
"But this is good too. I need to start secluding myself and plan for what comes next," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Dealing with the Seven Rebel Princes, scheming to obtain the World Tree in the ultimate trial.
These were all things Jun Xiaoyao needed to think about and plan for.
"In this game against heaven, I absolutely cannot lose!" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shone brightly.
Now among the Seven Rebel Princes, four had been confirmed.
Ling Yuan, Ancient Emperor's Son, Long Yao'er, Xuan Yue.
No...
There should be more than four.
A profound look flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also went into seclusion, beginning to comprehend the Life Book while preparing to move the Spring of Life into his inner universe.
The entire Burial Emperor Star fell into silence.
However, news still occasionally spread about certain geniuses obtaining opportunities and soaring to great heights.
And news regarding Jun Xiaoyao continued to explode throughout the entire Ultimate Ancient Path.
This battle between the Sacred Body and the Hegemon would undoubtedly be inscribed in ancient history.
Of course, the classic nature of this battle wasn't because the two fought fiercely with neither able to gain the upper hand.
On the contrary, it was because the battle was too simple, with Jun Xiaoyao humiliating his opponent with his law body, watching the entire show.
In the end, his true body made a powerful move to secure victory.
This battle was described by many as a typical example of humiliating others.
It was said that after this battle, a trend of cultivating law bodies arose among young geniuses.
Everyone wanted to use their law bodies to humiliate others.
But they discovered that their own law bodies were actually extremely weak.
"Have you all lost your minds? Jun family's Divine Son's true body strength is evident. Even if his law body only has one-tenth of his power, it's enough to crush many forbidden figures."
"All of you with true bodies as weak as chickens still want to learn from the Divine Son and use law bodies to show off?" Some geniuses pointed out mercilessly.
However, while the Sacred Body versus Hegemon battle was being discussed fervently.
Another piece of news gradually began to brew and boil over.
That was, the competition for the Young Emperor of the Supreme Immortal Court seemed to be coming to an end.
The entire Ultimate Ancient Path and all its geniuses were attracted to this news, closely following it.
The reason was simple: because the Young Emperor of the Immortal Court had the qualification to become the master of the Immortal Court.
And once the Young Emperor of the Immortal Court was established, many people were speculating whether the already fragmented Supreme Immortal Court would reorganize again.
The Young Emperor of the Immortal Court would undoubtedly be the core symbolic existence.
While the outside world was paying close attention.
In another vast space unknown to people.
In this space, spiritual energy was abundant, and immortal light spilled everywhere.
Countless stone tablets stood within, forming a stone forest.
Many stone tablets were inscribed with forbidden legacies.
These were legacies left by many predecessors and powerful figures of the Immortal Court.
Among them were emperor-level legacies, no worse than those on Burial Emperor Star.
This space was precisely the location where the Immortal Court held its Young Emperor competition: the Immortal Stele Forest.
As a behemoth that once ruled the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
The Supreme Immortal Court had no shortage of emperors.
So naturally, the legacies left behind wouldn't be few either.
Many believed that apart from the Jun family, whose heritage was too ancient to probe into.
The number of emperors possessed by the Supreme Immortal Court should be among the top in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
And now, in the core area of the Immortal Stele Forest, an extremely dazzling light illuminated in all directions.
Within this endless radiance, a faintly visible ethereal throne could be seen.
That throne emanated a supreme aura, with immortal light swirling around it.
An aura far more vast than imperial might spread and permeated.
The Heavenly Emperor's Throne!
This was the supreme symbol of the Immortal Court, the supreme object that suppressed the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
Because this was not an emperor weapon, but a true immortal artifact!
