Chapter 309: New Check-in Location Refreshed: Time to Walk Through the Ancient Burial Land!

Anyone with eyes could sense that Jiang Shengyi's attitude toward Jun Xiaoyao was unusual.

Had they not known Jiang Shengyi was Jun Xiaoyao's aunt, some might have mistaken them for cultivation partners.

Because these two were simply made for each other.

Of course, no one cared whether the situation was truly like that.

After all, Jiang Shengyi was merely Jun Xiaoyao's nominal aunt.

Moreover, although Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Rou addressed each other as sisters, they were not blood sisters.

Jiang Rou glanced at Jiang Shengyi with a hint of confusion, as if something occurred to her, her beautiful eyes hiding a teasing smile.

"That little minx Shengyi—has she set her sights on my son?"

Jiang Luoli's large eyes showed even greater suspicion.

The more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

Yet remembering Jiang Shengyi's status, Jiang Luoli felt it was unlikely.

Seeing the sly smiles in the eyes of some Jiang clan members, Jiang Shengyi's cheeks flushed red.

Even her translucent ears turned crimson, the color deepening to the very roots.

Jiang Shengyi possessed a primordial Dao womb; normally, she was as still as a maiden, as ethereally beautiful as a fairy from the Cold Palace.

She had never before shown such a shy expression.

Some young Jiang clan men stared at her, transfixed.

Jiang Daoxu looked at the two and sighed faintly: "Xiaoyao, do you really think your grandfather is such a selfish man?"

"Of course not," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

"Rest assured, Xiaoyao—I support you in whatever you do. The Wang family dares not threaten you with my life—not even in their dreams!"

Jiang Daoxu's tone was resolute.

He would rather die himself than let Jun Xiaoyao suffer humiliation from the Wang family.

"That's right, Young Master—you did nothing wrong! We all support you!"

"The Wang family of the North? What are they? We of the Jiang clan fear them not!"

The surrounding Jiang clan members shouted loudly, voicing their support for Jun Xiaoyao.

Watching this, even Jun Xiaoyao, whose nature was cold and detached, felt a surge of emotion.

He had only just arrived at the Jiang clan, yet they already supported and trusted him so fully.

How could Jun Xiaoyao betray his mother's clan?

He took a deep breath and asked: "Is the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass truly impossible to find?"

Jiang Daoxu's life—Jun Xiaoyao was determined to save it.

If, in the end, there was truly no other way,

He would mobilize the power of the Jun clan to force the Wang family to surrender the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass.

Of course, this was an extreme measure.

Jun Xiaoyao would not resort to it unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Daoxu would likely not agree either—Jun clan should not clash with the Wang family of the North over him.

After all, the Jun clan already had too many enemies.

Adding the Wang family of the North would only increase the pressure tenfold.

At this moment, Hua Yuanshou's gaze flickered, and he suddenly spoke: "I once heard that the last known trace of the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass came from the Ancient Burial Land."

"The Wang family's own Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass was also obtained by sheer chance from the Ancient Burial Land."

Hua Yuanshou's words caused some Jiang clan members to grow pale.

The Ancient Burial Land—what kind of place was that? An absolute forbidden zone.

Most dared not even mention it, fearing some unseen calamity might befall them.

"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Hua Yuanshou.

He had once been slapped into a dog by Jun Xiaoyao—he should have hated him intensely.

Yet now, he was offering information.

This made Jun Xiaoyao suspect something was off about Hua Yuanshou.

Still, Jun Xiaoyao sought confirmation from the Jiang clan elders.

"Indeed, rumors once surfaced that the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass existed in the Ancient Burial Land—but whether it was true remains uncertain," confirmed a Jiang clan elder.

On this point, Hua Yuanshou had not lied.

"Then why not go to the Ancient Burial Land to search for it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

If the Jiang clan had heard rumors of the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass, they should have sent someone to investigate and try to obtain it.

Yet the Jiang clan had sent no one to the Ancient Burial Land.

"Young Master, you don't understand—the Ancient Burial Land is a forbidden zone, outside the Three Thousand Dao States of the Heaven Immortal Realm. It holds all manner of strangeness and great terrors, and the waters run deep," sighed a Jiang clan elder.

Jun Xiaoyao finally understood.

The Ancient Burial Land was likely similar to the Seven Unspeakables of the Immortal Realm he had heard of before.

All represented great karmic entanglements, great mysteries, great terrors.

It was certainly not a place for ordinary beings to tread.

Another Jiang clan elder continued explaining to Jun Xiaoyao.

He learned that if a powerful cultivator entered the Ancient Burial Land, he would attract the attention of its terrifying inhabitants—like a bright lamp in darkness, too conspicuous to advance even an inch.

Meanwhile, the weak, even if they could approach the Ancient Burial Land, could not penetrate deep, for they lacked the strength to survive.

Thus, over time, few beings in the Immortal Realm dared enter the Ancient Burial Land.

Added to this were countless strange legends and mysterious burial land creatures.

The region had become a forbidden land, shunned by all common folk.

After hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why the Jiang clan could not penetrate the Ancient Burial Land.

"Since the powerful cannot penetrate deep, and the weak cannot enter at all, then let me go," Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

As soon as he spoke, a system voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host—the new check-in location has refreshed. Please check in at the Ancient Burial Land!"

Hearing the system prompt, Jun Xiaoyao's resolve to go to the Ancient Burial Land grew even firmer.

Yet upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale.

Especially Jiang Daoxu, Jiang Rou, Jiang Shengyi, and Jiang Luoli—all of them changed expression.

"Xiaoyao, you cannot go to such a dangerous place," Jiang Rou said directly.

"Xiaoyao, the Ancient Burial Land is far too dangerous," Jiang Shengyi said.

"Big Brother Xiaoyao, you mustn't go there—it's terrifying," Jiang Luoli also pleaded.

Jiang Daoxu spoke as well: "Xiaoyao, your concern touches my heart, but that place is far too perilous—and there's no guarantee the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass even exists there. There's no need to go."

Jun Xiaoyao's relatives all firmly opposed it.

At the bottom of Hua Yuanshou's eyes, a cold glint flashed.

Jun Xiaoyao's decision suited him perfectly.

If Jun Xiaoyao died in the Ancient Burial Land, it would be ideal for him.

"Grandfather, don't you trust me? What could possibly challenge me?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

To Jun Xiaoyao, the Ancient Burial Land—where others turned pale at the mere mention—sounded like nothing special.

"Xiaoyao, once you've grown stronger, going to the Ancient Burial Land won't matter—but now is too soon," Jiang Daoxu shook his head.

Jun Xiaoyao was the cherished heart of both the Jun and Jiang clans.

If he were lost in the Ancient Burial Land,

The consequences would be unimaginable for these two ancient clans.

Jiang Daoxu would rather sacrifice his own life than let Jun Xiaoyao risk himself.

"Grandfather, my mind is made up—and Mother, don't try to dissuade me. The Ancient Burial Land—I, Jun Xiaoyao, will go, no matter what!"

Jun Xiaoyao's tone was resolute, leaving no room for opposition.

What of the Ancient Burial Land? He, Jun Xiaoyao, would walk through it anyway!
