Chapter 1441: A vow to A-Jiu, the Land of Return to Ruins, the source of all turmoil, the Gate of Immortality!

A-Jiu was telling the truth.

Because compared to her cultivation speed,

Jun Xiaoyao's cultivation speed could only be described as terrifying.

Back on the Ultimate Ancient Road, what realm was Jun Xiaoyao in?

And now, Jun Xiaoyao could even easily behead a Supreme Xuanzun!

If one were to say A-Jiu's progress was godlike,

then Jun Xiaoyao's progress was absolutely unreasonable, defying the objective laws of development and violating the principles of how all things operate.

Simply put, he was a cheater.

Furthermore, even now, with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, he no longer needed her protection.

The current Jun Xiaoyao, even setting aside his Faith God Dharma Body,

relying solely on his various trump cards, would have the qualifications to face a Dao Zun with composure.

However, upon hearing A-Jiu's words,

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "A-Jiu, what are you saying?"

"In my heart, you are not merely a protector."

"I have promised before."

"In the years past, you protected my safety; in the remaining years, I shall ensure you are unharmed."

Jun Xiaoyao's words were very plain, yet they felt like an immortal vow.

He rarely made vows, because once made, they must be kept.

However, this promise was different from the one he made to Jiang Shengyi.

This was a bond that did not contain romantic feelings.

The subtle bond between him and A-Jiu could not be simply described by romantic feelings either.

"Young Master..."

Ripples appeared in A-Jiu's pupils.

Her state of mind, which had long been as still as an ancient well, could not help but fluctuate and become slightly chaotic at this moment.

Her obsession was protection.

She never asked for anything from Jun Xiaoyao.

Giving and devotion were her only principles.

A-Jiu had watched Jun Xiaoyao grow up.

From a little one just a few years old,

growing into the peerless hero he was now, handsome, refined, and suppressing an era.

"Alright, A-Jiu, tell me about your experiences." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly to ease the atmosphere.

A-Jiu also briefly recounted her experiences.

On the Ultimate Ancient Road, Jun Xiaoyao gave her freedom.

A-Jiu was a bit lost at first.

After all, her only goal before was to protect Jun Xiaoyao well and be his protector.

Now that this goal was gone, A-Jiu was naturally lost.

But she soon found a new goal.

That was to cultivate and become stronger.

Because only then would she have the strength and opportunity to continue protecting Jun Xiaoyao.

She would cultivate diligently to help Jun Xiaoyao.

Until the day Jun Xiaoyao completely surpassed her.

And when it came to cultivation, the environment of the Nine Heavens was naturally much better than that of the Immortal Domain.

So A-Jiu contacted Nie Zhan.

Because as members of the Eight Divisions of the God King, she knew Nie Zhan was in the Nine Heavens.

Therefore, A-Jiu was later brought up to the Nine Heavens.

And she had been staying in Kunlun Hill to cultivate in seclusion until now.

After listening to A-Jiu's brief account,

Jun Xiaoyao sighed silently in his heart.

Another woman who cultivated hard and gave silently behind his back, without asking for anything in return.

Why did these women treat him with such sincerity?

How was he supposed to repay this?

After a brief sigh,

Jun Xiaoyao sighed softly.

He would keep all these sentiments in his heart.

He would repay A-Jiu doubly in the future.

"By the way, why is Senior Nie Zhan staying in Kunlun Hill?"

Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Nie Zhan replied, "Replying to Young Master, this is the Lord's order."

"Father?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"That's right. Although we, the Eight Divisions of the God King, are not with the Lord at all times, we each have our own tasks."

"For example, Li Xin has been stationed in the Eternal Burial Earth."

"And Zhan Shen Man was also staying at the borderlands before."

"As for me, I was assigned to the Nine Heavens and have been staying in Kunlun Hill to monitor the movements of the major forbidden zones of the Nine Heavens."

"Once the forbidden zones of the Nine Heavens have any major movements, I will immediately report back to the Jun Clan."

Nie Zhan's words made Jun Xiaoyao nod slightly.

He had to sigh at the painstaking efforts of his father, Jun Jun Wu Hui.

Not only did he himself use the One Qi Transforms Three Purities to suppress the Foreign Domain, the Boundary Sea, and the Burial Earth,

but he also had his subordinates, the Eight Divisions of the God King, monitor the Burial Earth, the borderlands, and the Nine Heavens respectively.

It could only be said that Jun Jun Wu Hui was truly full of passion and sincerity, guarding the Immortal Domain.

This was a true hero.

Although Jun Xiaoyao did not wish to become such a hero, he still felt proud of his father.

"So, has Senior Nie Zhan received any news?" Jun Xiaoyao asked casually.

"Yes, there is unusual movement in the Land of Return to Ruins, which is likely a precursor to the coming turmoil," Nie Zhan said with a serious tone.

"Can you elaborate?"

Jun Xiaoyao became interested.

His biggest goal now was also the Land of Return to Ruins.

Besides having a sign-in opportunity,

he also wanted to know what secrets were buried in the Land of Return to Ruins.

Nie Zhan said solemnly, "The Land of Return to Ruins hides the greatest secret of the Nine Heavens and is also the source of the turmoil in the various forbidden zones."

"However, the Land of Return to Ruins is also the top-tier land of opportunity in the Nine Heavens."

"Even the monsters of the major forbidden zones, that is, the top geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, are all waiting for this opportunity," Nie Zhan said.

"Oh, what opportunity does the Land of Return to Ruins have that attracts them so much?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"I wonder if Young Master knows about Immortal Dao substances?" Nie Zhan said.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

What he needed most right now was a large amount of Immortal Dao substances.

"Could it be that Immortal Dao substances flow out from the Land of Return to Ruins?"

Nie Zhan nodded slightly and said, "That's right. It is rumored that deep in the Land of Return to Ruins, there is a 'gate' known as the Gate of Immortality."

"And Immortal Dao substances flow out from the Gate of Immortality."

"Therefore, the Land of Return to Ruins will also have some residual Immortal Dao substances."

"In addition, the environment of the Land of Return to Ruins is special, sealing the heavens and the earth, with rich power of rules permeating within, so it is also an excellent place for comprehending rules,"

Nie Zhan said.

These were all secrets of the Nine Heavens.

Generally, only the creatures of the Ten Great Forbidden Zones knew about them.

But Nie Zhan had stayed in the Nine Heavens for so long, and with the help of Kunlun Hill, he naturally knew some secrets.

"Gate of Immortality..."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.

He had finally found the source of all clues.

It was that Gate of Immortality!

And the Bodhi Seed and other creatures of Medicine Spirit Mountain said they fell into the Nine Heavens from a gate.

It must have been that they fell out of the Gate of Immortality.

"What kind of existence is the Gate of Immortality, and what is its connection to the turmoil?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

At this time, Kun Xuzi stepped forward and said, "If Brother Jun doesn't mind, you can go see our clan leader; he might be able to answer Brother Jun's doubts."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

He had to figure out the truth.

That mysterious and unpredictable Gate of Immortality might very well connect all the clues and secrets.

From the ancient battle between the Desolate Emperor and the mastermind behind the scenes,

to the Longevity Island, the Underworld, and the curse on the Sacred Body,

to the Dark Turmoil and the mysterious Chief Priest and the sacrificial ceremony,

and even to the rebirth of Di Haotian now.

Behind these seemingly unrelated events, there was actually a hidden web.

And that Gate of Immortality was the core of the web.

All secrets, all karma, and the source of all turmoil came from the Gate of Immortality! ===== CHAPTER 1442 =====
