Chapter 316: The Ten Domains of the Ancient Burial Land, the Yin-Death Body, and the Struggle for the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit

Jun Xiaoyao had cultivated an invincible Dao heart; no matter where he was, he would never suppress or hide himself.

Gu Chi was completely stunned, lying on the ground, utterly dazed.

His entire body felt as if it had been shattered, as if crushed beneath an ancient colossal elephant.

His cheeks were half-caved in, his cheekbones shattered, making him even uglier.

"Ah… my face, my handsome face!" Gu Chi screamed, clutching his face, seething with rage.

Jun Xiaoyao heard this and wore a peculiar expression.

He had never encountered such a shameless person.

The sister duo Cang Yue and Cang Xue stared at Jun Xiaoyao with slight surprise.

Gu Chi was no ordinary individual; his true form was a ghost owl, with formidable strength.

Among the younger generation of Yinming Domain, he ranked among the top ten.

Of course, in the Burial Land, what is called "younger generation" often meant ages of hundreds or even thousands of years.

But compared to other far older denizens of the Burial Land, they were considered young.

And Jun Xiaoyao had merely flicked his hand—yet Gu Chi was left so humiliated.

This exceeded Cang Yue's expectations.

Earlier, Jun Xiaoyao had claimed he was peerless among his generation in the external Immortal Realms.

Though Cang Yue had not mocked him, she had suspected he might be exaggerating.

Jun Xiaoyao's ability to enter the Burial Land proved he had some skill, but to claim peerlessness was excessive.

Yet now, seeing the utterly humiliated Gu Chi,

Cang Yue felt that even if Jun Xiaoyao had boasted, his origins were likely extraordinary—perhaps an heir of an immortal force from the external realms.

"Despicable outsider, how dare you ambush me?"

Gu Chi's eyes flashed with cold light, his body surging with death energy, as if ready to strike.

He did not believe Jun Xiaoyao was truly powerful; he thought Jun Xiaoyao had merely taken advantage by ambush.

"You really want to die?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly.

At that moment, Cang Yue stepped forward, blocking between the two.

"Enough."

Seeing Cang Yue intervene, Gu Chi snorted coldly.

Cang Yue turned to Jun Xiaoyao and said: "We were blind. Young Master, to enter the Burial Land alone proves you are extraordinary. Are you interested in the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit?"

"Naturally," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

He needed the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit to transform his primordial ancient holy body's blood qi.

Otherwise, Jun Xiaoyao would stand out too much.

Although he never sought to be low-key, he did not want to be treated like a monkey wherever he went.

That would hinder his search for the Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Grass.

"Then join us for the Yin-Yang Soul Pool. If there are extra Yin-Yang Divine Fruits, you may take one," Cang Yue said.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

He knew Cang Yue intended to use him to seize the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit.

But Jun Xiaoyao was using Cang Yue too—she was his entry point to understand the entire Ten Domains of the Ancient Burial Land.

Afterwards, Jun Xiaoyao traveled alongside Cang Yue.

He sought more information.

Gu Chi's expression turned dark, but with Cang Yue present, he could not act against Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hmph. An outsider human of Tongtian Realm—what ability does he have to compete for the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit?" Gu Chi sneered.

He did not believe Jun Xiaoyao could rival other Burial Land prodigies.

Cang Yue herself did not know Jun Xiaoyao's true strength.

But more people meant more power.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao seemed utterly transcendent, giving off an air of profound mystery.

Perhaps he could surprise Cang Yue?

After all, Cang Xue's condition could not be delayed—she must obtain the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit.

Afterwards, Jun Xiaoyao also boarded the skeletal giant bird.

He questioned Cang Yue about the Ten Domains of the Ancient Burial Land.

After some inquiry, Jun Xiaoyao gained a general understanding of the Ten Domains.

The entire Ten Domains of the Ancient Burial Land stretched boundlessly.

At least, Cang Yue had never traveled far beyond her own region.

The entire Ten Domains of the Ancient Burial Land were divided into ten domains.

Each domain was ruled by a Burial Emperor.

A Burial Emperor was the term used within the Ancient Burial Land for supreme sovereign-level cultivators.

In the Immortal Realms, they were equivalent to the Supreme Ancestor level.

The domain where Cang Yue and Cang Xue resided was called Yinming Domain, one of the more remote among the ten.

Since gaining consciousness and being unearthed from the soil, Cang Yue and Cang Xue had never left Yinming Domain.

They both came from the Cang Clan.

The Cang Clan was a renowned family in Yinming Domain, with a Saint-King-level cultivator as its pillar.

The Yin-Yang Soul Pool they were heading to was a place of opportunity within Yinming Domain.

It housed a rare Yin-Yang Divine Tree, bearing fruit once every ten thousand years.

Each fruiting drew competition from several Yinming Domain factions.

To prevent excessive losses from factional conflicts, all sides agreed to make the Yin-Yang Soul Pool contest a rite of passage for the younger generation.

Cang Yue and Cang Xue were preparing to go to the Yin-Yang Soul Pool.

To be safe, they had also recruited Gu Chi, one of Yinming Domain's top ten prodigies.

As for the reason,

it was all because of their younger sister, Cang Xue.

She possessed the rare Yin-Death Body.

If controlled, this body type granted immense power and a high future potential.

But if uncontrolled, and the death energy erupted, Cang Xue's delicate body would instantly collapse and disperse into the heavens and earth.

The Yin-Yang Divine Fruit could harmonize the Yin-Death energy within Cang Xue's body.

Thus, Cang Yue must obtain the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit—otherwise, Cang Xue would not survive.

"Yin-Death Body?" Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Cang Xue.

Cang Xue's face was as exquisite as her sister's, her beautiful eyes a deep blue, her skin as pale as snow.

If one ignored her death energy, she was indistinguishable from an ordinary human girl from the external realms.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao observing her, Cang Xue blushed slightly.

If she could blush, she would have turned red long ago.

Cang Yue looked at Jun Xiaoyao, hesitating as if to speak.

Jun Xiaoyao knew what Cang Yue wanted to say.

His primordial ancient holy body's blood qi could indeed soothe Cang Xue's Yin-Death energy.

But Jun Xiaoyao did not do it.

He was no saint, and he had just met these sisters—he would not offer even a single drop of his primordial ancient holy blood to warm Cang Xue.

Not one drop.

One could say Jun Xiaoyao was cold-blooded.

One could say he was selfish.

But his nature had always been this way.

He would not favor Cang Xue simply because she was a beautiful girl.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao had already promised to help them seize the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit—that was enough to save Cang Xue's life.

As for Gu Chi, seeing Cang Xue's shy expression, his eyes grew colder.

He intended to claim both sisters for himself.

Otherwise, why would he go through all this trouble to help them?

"When the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit contest begins, you'll see how foolish it is to place your hopes on this outsider human!" Gu Chi muttered coldly in his heart.
