Chapter 134: Jun Xiaoyao Emerges from Seclusion, Second Saint Body Phenomenon Awakens—It

This battle has temporarily come to an end.

Jun Lingcang did not use his Heavy Eyes; even if Long Ji Princess had subdued him, others would criticize her for taking advantage of his weakness.

So Long Ji Princess didn't bother to unleash her full strength.

Jun Lingcang hadn't expected Long Ji Princess's power to be this formidable.

His Heavy Eyes were indeed at a critical stage of transformation and unsuitable for use.

But regardless, being at a disadvantage was an undeniable fact.

Jun Lingcang's expression turned gloomy; this was not the outcome he had imagined.

He said nothing and left immediately.

"Lord Lingcang…" Jun Xiyu frowned.

She hadn't expected that Jun Lingcang, whom she regarded as invincible, could suffer defeat.

"No, Lord Lingcang hasn't even activated his Heavy Eyes yet—outcome remains uncertain. Besides, even a Divine Son wouldn't necessarily defeat Long Ji Princess." Jun Xiyu mused.

She didn't think Jun Lingcang was weak.

It was simply that Long Ji Princess was too strong.

Seeing the battle end, all factions present sighed in astonishment.

No one had anticipated such an inconclusive result.

Yet from this battle, it was clear that Long Ji Princess, even without her full strength, could effortlessly handle the top young prodigies of this generation.

Of course, this was partly because Jun Lingcang hadn't used his Heavy Eyes—if he had, the outcome might have been different.

But regardless, Long Ji Princess's dominance was unquestionable.

Across the Huang Tian Immortal Realm, few young prodigies could even claim the right to face her.

This battle also brought benefits to the Jun Clan.

No one dared call the Jun Clan cowards anymore.

Jun Lingcang's performance was remarkably impressive—he held his own against Long Ji Princess for so long without using his Heavy Eyes as a trump card.

The strength he displayed was deeply impressive.

Although no one criticized the Jun Clan anymore,

some with ulterior motives began targeting Jun Xiaoyao again.

After all, Long Ji Princess had specifically challenged Jun Xiaoyao.

He didn't appear—instead, Jun Lingcang showed up.

This naturally raised suspicion: had Jun Xiaoyao truly backed down?

Others claimed Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion, or simply despised the challenge.

After all, there was the precedent of the Champion Marquis.

Previously, when the Champion Marquis issued a challenge, Jun Xiaoyao ignored it—and back then, many had slandered him, saying he was afraid.

What happened then?

Those who slandered him were brutally humiliated.

So this time, few people dared to smear Jun Xiaoyao.

After this highly anticipated battle ended,

everyone grew even more eager for Jun Xiaoyao's clash with Long Ji Princess.

…

In the Tian Di Palace of the Jun Clan.

Jun Xiaoyao had remained in seclusion, deaf to all outside affairs.

Jun Zhantian had ordered that no one disturb Jun Xiaoyao.

During this time, Jun Xiaoyao effortlessly broke through to the peak of Guiyi Realm, as easily as drinking water.

Even breaking through to Hedao Realm or Nirvana Realm wasn't particularly difficult for him.

But Jun Xiaoyao didn't do it.

Because reaching Hedao Realm required finding a spiritual seed, an immortal seed, and other elements that resonated with oneself.

This was crucial for his future path, so Jun Xiaoyao didn't rush his breakthrough.

He was also using Immortal Sources to cultivate his Great Luo Immortal Bones.

After learning Jun Xiaoyao needed Immortal Sources, the Jun Clan granted him hundreds more.

By now, after his seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao had consumed all the Immortal Sources, and his Great Luo Immortal Bones had reached forty.

His arms were now refined with Great Luo Immortal Bones; a simple wave of his hand unleashed boundless power.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao hadn't neglected his Divine Elephant Subdue the Hell Technique.

With the aid of Immortal Sources and other cultivation resources, ten thousand of the hundred thousand giant elephant particles within him had transformed into Dragon-Elephant particles.

Each Dragon-Elephant particle possessed the strength of one hundred thousand jin—ten times that of a giant elephant particle.

That meant these ten thousand Dragon-Elephant particles had granted Jun Xiaoyao an additional nine hundred million jin of strength!

Now, Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Elephant Subdue the Hell Technique could unleash nineteen hundred million jin of divine power.

This was terrifying—only ten thousand Dragon-Elephant particles had transformed, yet his strength had nearly doubled!

"Nineteen hundred million jin of strength—back then, if Ji Xuan had clashed with me using his Saint-King hand bone, he'd have been shattered." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

He hadn't forgotten the Saint-King hand bone either.

He had asked a skilled elder in the clan to forge it into a pair of magic treasure gloves.

As for the final result, Jun Xiaoyao had no worries.

Those elders took his request very seriously—he was certain they wouldn't disappoint him.

Jun Xiaoyao's seclusion had another purpose: awakening the second Saint Body phenomenon.

After such a long period of seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao had successfully comprehended his second Saint Body phenomenon.

He believed this phenomenon would surely surprise his opponents.

Lastly, there was the Fallen Saint Body.

Before entering seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao had specifically asked Jun Zhantian and others to inspect the Fallen Saint Body; after confirming no other anomalies, he finally relaxed.

Jun Xiaoyao had also attempted to split off a portion of his true spirit and enter the divine palace of the Fallen Saint Body.

At first, it was very difficult—he often failed.

Later, he could briefly make the Fallen Saint Body perform simple movements.

But perhaps due to the Fallen Saint Body's inherent corruption, Jun Xiaoyao couldn't control it for long with his true spirit.

Moreover, he couldn't fully unleash the Fallen Saint Body's true power.

But none of that mattered—this Fallen Saint Body remained invaluable to Jun Xiaoyao; it might play a crucial role in the future.

"It's about time I emerged from seclusion." Jun Xiaoyao rose.

If not necessary, he truly didn't want to stay in seclusion.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped out of the Tian Di Palace and paused, slightly stunned.

He found a large crowd gathered outside the palace—all young members of the Jun Clan.

Jun Linglong, Jun Zhangjian, and others stood at the front.

"Divine Son!"

"The Divine Son has finally emerged from seclusion!"

Upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Zhangjian and the others were overwhelmed with excitement.

The surrounding Jun Clan youths also clenched their fists, their faces glowing with joy and exhilaration.

"What's going on?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

He'd only been in seclusion for a while—why were these people acting like they hadn't seen him in eight lifetimes, so wildly excited?

"Divine Son, that ancient anomaly from the Ancestral Dragon Nest is too arrogant!"

"Yes! Even Lord Lingcang was pushed to the disadvantage!"

Many Jun Clan youths spoke all at once.

Finally, Jun Zhangjian detailed everything that had happened during Jun Xiaoyao's seclusion.

"So that's what happened—I missed so much while in seclusion," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

The First Sequence had returned; an ancient anomaly from the Ancestral Dragon Nest had emerged; the two had fought.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained as calm as ever.

He said coolly: "It's just a female eel. Why are you all so worked up?"

At Jun Xiaoyao's words, everyone froze.

Jun Xiaoyao called Long Ji Princess, the Ancestral Dragon Nest's prodigy, a female eel?
