Sacred Body of the Immortals

At the edge of the sky, a twelve-petaled lotus platform hovered in the void.

Sitting cross-legged upon it was a graceful figure in azure robes, enveloped in celestial light and Daoist charm, exuding an aura of transcendent purity.

Her features were veiled by immortal radiance, and it seemed she also wore a gauzy veil.

Vaguely, one could glimpse only her pair of crystalline eyes, clear as crystal.

Just those crystalline eyes alone were unforgettable at first sight.

It was as if all things in heaven and earth grew dim within those eyes.

Many male cultivators present were entranced, dazed, utterly captivated.

They seemed to be gazing upon an unparalleled celestial maiden!

"So this is the Divine Maiden of the Ji family. Truly, as the rumors say, she is a fairy untouched by mortal smoke, transcending the worldly realm," murmured an heir of a great sect, lost in thought.

With his strength and status, even he was instantly captivated by Ji Qingyi.

Her beauty and temperament were unmatched in the mortal world...

Jun Xiaoyao also cast a slight glance her way.

He had to admit, Ji Qingyi was indeed very special.

In terms of peerless beauty, Jun Xiaoyao had seen many—Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, Wu Mingyue, Ah Jiu—each possessing their own unique charm.

But this Ji Qingyi possessed a unique aura, like a freshly bloomed green lotus, untainted by dust, standing aloof from the world.

Most male cultivators who saw Ji Qingyi would likely turn into eager admirers, scrambling to curry favor.

But Jun Xiaoyao was different.

If Ji Qingyi was an ethereal fairy beyond the mortal realm,

Then Jun Xiaoyao was the Immortal King who ruled the mundane world, transcending all rules!

In terms of aura and presence, Jun Xiaoyao was second to none!

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao didn't concern himself with Ji Qingyi at all.

He casually retracted his gaze.

After Ji Qingyi arrived, she paid no heed to the countless fervent and admiring gazes around her. Her clear eyes looked straight at Jun Xiaoyao.

It was also her first time seeing Jun Xiaoyao.

At first glance, even Ji Qingyi's heart trembled slightly.

The reason she was so transcendent, aside from her inherent temperament and character, was mainly because she was the Holy Maiden of the Human Immortal Sect.

The Human Immortal Sect was rumored to be a Dao lineage established by immortals.

She cultivated its methods, contemplated the relics left by ancient immortals, and naturally carried the Daoist charm of immortals.

But at this moment, when Ji Qingyi looked at Jun Xiaoyao,

That kind of aura, that kind of feeling, even made her involuntarily feel a trace of inferiority.

This made Ji Qingyi find it incredible.

"Is there truly such a transcendently pure person in this world?" Ji Qingyi was slightly lost in thought.

But soon, she calmed her mind and spoke, "Qingyi has long heard of Brother Xiaoyao's name. Now that we meet, it truly lives up to the reputation."

Seeing Ji Qingyi directing her words toward Jun Xiaoyao, everyone's hearts tightened.

It's happening!

Is the Divine Maiden of the Ji family really going to clash with the Divine Child of the Jun family?

But this tone doesn't sound confrontational?

Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently, "I have also heard of the Ji family's Divine Maiden. Indeed, quite extraordinary."

These words carried a sense of casual perfunctoriness.

Many male geniuses were dumbfounded.

Jun Xiaoyao's tone was too dismissive, wasn't it?

That's the Divine Maiden! An average person would be overjoyed to exchange even a sentence with her.

Ji Qingyi was also startled; she didn't expect someone to speak to her in this manner.

You know, everyone Ji Qingyi had met before, even young supremes and heirs of immortal forces, without exception, were courteous and admiring toward her, carrying feelings of affection and longing.

And Jun Xiaoyao?

A tone of complete indifference, even somewhat dismissive.

Such treatment was a first for Ji Qingyi.

After a moment, Jun Xiaoyao slightly lifted his eyelids and said, "If you're here because of Ji Xuan's matter and want to cause trouble for me, then I advise you to abandon that thought."

Ji Qingyi came here not just for the Heavenly Dao Tower, but also for the matter concerning Ji Xuan, didn't she?

Jun Xiaoyao laid his cards on the table directly.

If she wanted to pester him over this, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't mind suppressing her.

"Wow, this is just... the Divine Child of the Jun family is a true iron-blooded straight man..." A group of male cultivators were stunned.

Is that any way to treat the Divine Maiden?

As for many female cultivators, they admired him even more.

"The Divine Child is indeed not a shallow person who focuses on appearances. See, he doesn't even pay attention to the Ji family's Divine Maiden," a female cultivator said with admiration.

Even someone as detached as Ji Qingyi was momentarily speechless.

After a long while, she gently said, "Brother Xiaoyao misunderstands. Ji Xuan's Dao heart collapsed because his will wasn't firm. How can it be blamed on Brother Xiaoyao?"

Ji Qingyi did originally come with a hint of questioning intent; after all, it was requested by her clan's elders.

However, after seeing Jun Xiaoyao in person, she felt a heaviness in her heart.

This was definitely not someone who could be provoked lightly.

Therefore, Ji Qingyi changed her tone and did not press the issue.

"Consider yourself sensible," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Ji Qingyi: "..."

Being treated like this by someone was a first for her.

"Brother Xiaoyao, Qingyi will go ahead."

Ji Qingyi directly flew toward the Heavenly Dao Tower.

As she approached, behind her, azure radiance surged, as if the phantom of an ethereal female immortal appeared.

This kind of phenomenon had an astonishing ripple effect. Except for a few like Jun Lingcang, Ye Xingyun, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, Fahai, and a few others,

Most of the geniuses found their own phenomena being affected, starting to shake violently, as if about to collapse.

"How terrifying! Could the Ji family's Divine Maiden truly be a female immortal?" Many gasped.

Then, they all fixed their gazes on Jun Xiaoyao.

Ji Qingyi also cast her gaze over, with a hint of competitive intent.

Although she didn't intend to clash with Jun Xiaoyao, she was confident in this aspect of competition.

Without extraordinary talent, how could she become the Holy Maiden of the Human Immortal Sect?

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.

The system did not prompt a sign-in notification.

Apparently, Jun Xiaoyao estimated that he might need to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower, or even step onto its summit, to possibly trigger a sign-in.

But it didn't matter; Jun Xiaoyao had that confidence.

He stepped forward, like a divine king emerging from seclusion, his white robes fluttering as he approached the Heavenly Dao Tower.

The surrounding world seemed to fall silent.

Everyone held their breath, anticipating Jun Xiaoyao's performance.

The pressure from the Heavenly Dao Tower was nothing to Jun Xiaoyao; it was as if it didn't exist, unable to hinder him in the slightest.

Jun Xiaoyao was comprehending that Daoist charm, with a hazy immortal brilliance flowing over him.

Then, all those present witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives.

Behind Jun Xiaoyao, immortal mist lingered, and the radiance of the Great Dao blossomed.

Heavenly flowers descended, golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

An ethereal and peerless figure in white appeared.

That figure in white sat above the nine heavens, with his back facing all beings!

Heaven and earth, all living things, the ancient myriad races, countless creatures across the universe—all knelt beneath that figure's presence!

That figure in white, back facing all beings, seemed to suppress countless eras of the past and present!

No one before, none to come after—only the figure in white, sitting atop the pinnacle, ruling over eternity!

At the moment this terrifying phenomenon manifested,

The Golden-Winged Little Peng King spat out a mouthful of blood!

The golden-winged roc phantom behind him directly shattered under this oppressive force!

The same happened to Ye Xingyun.

The figure behind him trembled and then shattered!

The Buddhist son of Little Western Heaven, Fahai, had his ancient Buddha phantom forced to kneel on the ground, its body seeming to crack!

"How is this possible?" Fahai also spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes nearly bulging out!

Even Jun Lingcang—the supreme phantom with double pupils behind him—couldn't help but fall to one knee.

Finally, there was Ji Qingyi. The female immortal-like figure behind her bowed down, prostrating on the ground, as if trembling in great fear!

At this moment, the world was utterly silent!

The figure in white that Jun Xiaoyao manifested—that figure with his back facing all beings—

With just a glimpse of that ethereal back, he suppressed all the geniuses present!

All knelt around him, heaven and earth acknowledging his sole supremacy!
