Sacred Body of the Immortals

Ji Qingyi had a calm and unassuming personality, detached from worldly affairs.

Having spent years in seclusion within the Immortal Sect, she carried an aura of transcendence, her emotions as still as an ancient well.

However, at this moment, Ji Qingyi seemed to have been cast down to the realm of mortals, revealing a look of astonishment and disbelief.

Jun Xiaoyao had not merely broken through the forty-ninth level.

He had surpassed the fiftieth level!

He shattered a record that had never been broken by those before him, pioneering a path that had never been trodden by the ancients!

Though it was only a difference of one level, the significance was entirely different.

"The fiftieth level, which no one could surpass, has been breached by Jun Xiaoyao," Ji Qingyi was lost in thought for a long time.

She had seen countless prodigies and heroes, yet none had ever surprised her.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao had achieved what she could not.

This was a blow to Ji Qingyi, who had always sailed smoothly and remained above others.

It felt as if a revered goddess, worshipped by all, suddenly found herself face to face with a celestial king.

Before this celestial king, she felt incredibly small, and a faint sense of helplessness arose in her heart.

This feeling was quite uncomfortable.

"Ah, Xiaoyao, indeed extraordinary," Jun Lingcang, though his eyes were covered, had seen everything.

This renowned first in the Jun family had to admit that his cousin's capabilities far exceeded his expectations.

He had intended to compare himself with Jun Xiaoyao at the Heavenly Dao Tower, to show Ajiu his strength.

Yet now, he had still been overshadowed by Jun Xiaoyao.

Behind him, Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu were equally shocked and dazed.

They had previously voiced their discontent regarding Jun Xiaoyao occupying the family's cultivation resources.

But now, looking at the radiant Jun Xiaoyao, they found themselves at a loss for words.

Is it wrong for the outstanding to occupy more family resources?

Not at all.

If anyone were to blame, it would be their own lack of talent compared to Jun Xiaoyao, which meant they could not become the pillars of the Jun family in the future.

At this moment, Jun Xiyu completely retracted her previous opinions about Jun Xiaoyao.

She even began to feel that Jun Xiaoyao seemed even more dazzling than Jun Lingcang...

"Since the Jun family's divine son has successfully passed the trials, why hasn't he come out yet?"

"Perhaps he is inheriting some great opportunity," some prodigies expressed envy.

Only the Grand Elder sighed deeply.

He understood that Jun Xiaoyao had very likely encountered the remains of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit.

While countless people outside were in awe of Jun Xiaoyao, within the fiftieth level space, Jun Xiaoyao, sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally reacted.

The Supreme Bone in his chest began to emit black and white light.

This was the tangible manifestation of the power of reincarnation.

At a certain moment, Jun Xiaoyao opened his eyes, and deep within them, two divine glimmers of black and white seemed to emerge.

"Supreme Bone's second great divine ability, Reincarnation Nirvana Light!"

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, an astonishing aura of reincarnation bursting forth from his chest, with black and white light radiating outwards.

In an instant, the surrounding desert began to change.

A withered sapling on the ground sprouted tender green shoots at an incredible speed, then rapidly grew into a towering tree.

Around Jun Xiaoyao, within a hundred-mile radius, the desert transformed entirely into an oasis.

In the blink of an eye, the world had changed!

This was the terrifying power of the Supreme Bone's divine ability, Reincarnation Nirvana Light!

But that was not all.

The power of reincarnation was not only the power of life but also the power of death.

As Jun Xiaoyao continued to activate the Reincarnation Nirvana Light, the black light swept across, causing those towering trees to wither, their leaves to fall, until they turned into dry wood, collapsing into dust.

"It is somewhat similar to the Panhuang Years Sword, but still fundamentally different," Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

The Panhuang Years Sword was the power of time.

Whereas this Reincarnation Nirvana Light was the power of reincarnation.

However, the effects were indeed somewhat similar.

"The Reincarnation Nirvana Light is merely a preliminary form; there will surely be more profound changes later," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

It was like the Celestial Calamity Light, whose complete technique was the Celestial Hand.

This Reincarnation Nirvana Light was just a prototype, and it should be able to evolve into a complete divine ability later.

Yet even this initial form was already terrifying enough to serve as a trump card.

Moreover, the power of reincarnation from the Supreme Bone could also be combined with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist to unleash even greater power.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao turned his gaze back to the remains of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit.

To be honest, Jun Xiaoyao initially thought the remains of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit would resemble some kind of metallic being.

But it was nothing of the sort.

The remains of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit looked like an ordinary human, just emaciated and withered, as if dehydrated.

At that moment, an extremely faint wave of spiritual energy suddenly emanated.

"Young friend, you are from the Jun family, right..."

"Mm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

He saw a faint light, like a firefly, above the remains of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit.

"Is there still a trace of residual soul?" Jun Xiaoyao thought.

He nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I am from the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao."

"Indeed, in our era, the Jun family produced a terrifying figure who overshadowed the heroes of the Immortal Domain."

"Even some fully realized Sacred Spirits dared not show themselves, fearing they would be killed and refined into imperial weapons by that person."

"Oh, is that so?" Jun Xiaoyao was astonished.

A fully realized Sacred Spirit was a being comparable to an Emperor or an Ancient Sovereign.

"That Emperor, self-styled as Abandoning Heaven, is an existence that has forsaken the Celestial Realm," the residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit said.

"Ah, you mean my ancestor, Abandoning Heaven Emperor, Jun Abandoning Heaven," Jun Xiaoyao realized.

This was indeed a remarkable figure.

It was said that his talent was extraordinarily monstrous, even attracting the descent of the Emperor Seal. If he accepted it, he could smoothly ascend to the throne.

Yet that fierce individual simply stated:

"The Heavenly Dao's coronation is but a burden; I shall attain the Dao myself and become an immortal through countless tribulations!"

He refused the Emperor Seal bestowed upon him by heaven!

In the end, relying on his own strength, he established a legacy that lasted for a hundred thousand years for the Jun family.

The Jun family's dominance in the Immortal Domain, standing tall to this day, was not solely due to one or two individuals, but because each generation produced prodigies like Jun Abandoning Heaven.

For instance, the previous generation included Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Clad Divine King, Jun Wuhui.

And this generation, naturally, was Jun Xiaoyao.

"I have a feeling that person... seems not to have perished..." the residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit suddenly said.

"What?" Jun Xiaoyao was taken aback.

That fierce individual was still alive?

But upon reflection, given the Jun family's foundation, it was not impossible for a remnant Emperor to exist.

After all, even the Jun family's ancestor ranked eighteenth was already a Supreme powerhouse.

What kind of realm would those ranked in the top ten or even the top few have reached?

The existence of an Emperor did not seem so strange.

"Senior, what exactly are you trying to express with all this?" Jun Xiaoyao asked directly.

The residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit said, "I know that with your talent, you will surely become a core figure in the Jun family in the future. I have only one request: I hope you can look after the Sacred Spirit Academy."

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

He did not expect the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit to make such a request.

"The era of great conflict is about to begin, and chaos will ensue across the realms. That wisp of black mist will drift in from the foreign lands, and even the immortal will face annihilation, let alone an academy," the residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit said slowly.

At this point, Jun Xiaoyao fully understood.

The residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit likely foresaw something.

He did not want the Sacred Spirit Academy to perish in the tide of the times, hence seeking Jun Xiaoyao's help.

With Jun Xiaoyao's status and the Jun family's foundation, it would not be difficult to provide some support to the Sacred Spirit Academy.

However, Jun Xiaoyao was not the kind of overly benevolent person.

He would not do things for free.

Seemingly aware of Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts, the residual soul of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit said, "Rest assured, I will not make demands without compensation. This item is my final gift."

A hazy light began to emerge from the chest of the Reincarnation Sacred Spirit's remains.

"This is..." Jun Xiaoyao's expression changed.
