Chapter 373: Jun Xiaoyao Secludes Himself in the Pool of All Life

After resolving the matter of the Female Burial Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Pool of All Life's Reincarnation.

Because the Burial Realm had been sealed by Jun Xiaoyao using the Six Forbidden Seals of Immortal Suppression.

Therefore, as long as Jun Xiaoyao wished, he could allow anyone to enter or leave the Burial Realm freely.

Li Xin must remain permanently stationed at the Ten Thousand Spirits Graveyard as its gravekeeper.

And Ajiu, naturally, would follow Jun Xiaoyao.

Wherever Jun Xiaoyao went, she would go.

After resolving all issues, Jun Xiaoyao could now calmly cultivate and break through at the Pool of All Life's Reincarnation.

Jun Xiaoyao had a premonition that this cultivation session would bring him great advancement.

While ordinary prodigies struggled to break through like constipation, Jun Xiaoyao surged forward like a flood.

The reason Jun Xiaoyao had confidence was because the energy of this Pool of All Life's Reincarnation was extraordinarily pure and strange.

He had also asked Li Xin about it.

This Pool of All Life's Reincarnation seemed to have been built long ago by the great terrors deep within the Burial Realm.

Jun Xiaoyao directly entered the Pool of All Life's Reincarnation and activated the Devouring Spirit Demon Art and the Celestial Furnace, beginning to absorb and refine the entire pool.

Ordinary prodigies might absorb only a tiny fraction before being unable to take in any more.

But Jun Xiaoyao's body allowed him to nearly digest the entire Pool of All Life's Reincarnation.

After all, while the Ancient Wasteland Sacred Body was powerful, the resources required to break through its realms were also far greater.

This Pool of All Life's Reincarnation was just what was needed to solve that problem.

As Jun Xiaoyao sank into cultivation.

The entire Burial Realm finally fell into stillness.

Yet the Ten Domains of the Eternal Burial Land could not remain calm.

Because the events within the Burial Realm had been too immense.

Jun Xiaoyao slew the Heavenly Tyrant Body.

The Burial Realm's seal was broken, and all the Burial Emperors emerged.

The gravekeeper, Li Xin—one of the Eight Divine Generals of the Divine King—appeared.

Nine Burial Emperors perished.

In the end, Jun Xiaoyao resealed the Burial Realm.

Each of these events, standing alone, could shake the four corners of the world.

How much more so when they occurred together? This explosive news turned the entire Burial Land upside down.

During this time, in the Ten Domains of the Burial Land, the most frequently uttered term among all living beings was "Jun Clan's Divine Son."

Jun Xiaoyao was now not only renowned throughout the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm, but had also become utterly famous within the Eternal Burial Land.

His deeds would surely be recorded in the epic annals of the Burial Land.

The attitude of the Burial Land's inhabitants toward Jun Xiaoyao was no longer hatred.

But helplessness.

Yes, genuine, heartfelt helplessness.

Among the younger generation, no one was a match for Jun Xiaoyao.

And when the elder experts moved to act, they were guarded by Li Xin, the Ghost Masked Female Burial Emperor, and others.

The entire Ten Domains of the Burial Land were powerless against Jun Xiaoyao.

It was unimaginable that Jun Xiaoyao, merely at the Divine Flame Realm, had rendered the entire Eternal Burial Land helpless.

After accepting this reality, no one dared provoke Jun Xiaoyao's wrath.

Even other Burial Emperors from the Mingwangdian and the Corpse Dragon Clan had abandoned thoughts of revenge.

The only possible chance for revenge would be to wait until the Burial Realm's seal was shattered completely.

…

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

The turmoil across the Ten Domains of the Burial Land gradually subsided.

Jun Xiaoyao had become the most discussed topic among the Burial Land's inhabitants.

Yet in the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm, the atmosphere had grown subtle.

Because the Eternal Burial Land and the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm were severed from each other.

Major events within the Burial Land could not instantly reach the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm.

With several months having passed, many began to speculate whether Jun Xiaoyao had met with some misfortune within the Eternal Burial Land.

This speculation was reasonable, even normal.

After all, the Eternal Burial Land was a forbidden land to those of the Immortal Realm.

Yet recently, rumors had suddenly spread that Jun Xiaoyao had perished in the Burial Land.

It seemed a hidden hand was behind promoting this rumor.

"Could the Jun Clan's Divine Son truly have perished in the Eternal Burial Land?"

"It's possible—he's been gone for months now, and the Ancient Immortal World is about to open."

"Indeed, given the Jun Clan's Divine Son's nature, he would never miss the Ancient Immortal World. His absence suggests something terrible has happened."

"What a pity—a prodigy who could have dominated this era has squandered his future through his own recklessness."

Across the Three Thousand Dao States of the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm, more and more places were discussing this matter.

Though some still doubted it, Jun Xiaoyao had simply not appeared for months.

As the most renowned and watched prodigy of the Vast Heaven Immortal Realm, his months-long silence spoke volumes.

It was like a celebrity constantly trending on hot searches suddenly vanishing for months with no word.

Anyone would suspect something had gone wrong.

Qingzhou, the Jiang Clan's encampment.

Many Jiang Clan members were privately discussing this matter.

Yet the Jiang Clan's high elders had issued no statement whatsoever.

"The Young Master will surely be unharmed."

"That's right—given the Young Master's strength, even within the Eternal Burial Land, he could thrive."

All Jiang Clan members rejected the rumors.

In their eyes, Jun Xiaoyao was invincible.

Moreover, if Jun Xiaoyao had truly encountered trouble, the first to grow restless would naturally be Jiang Daoxu and others.

Yet now, the entire Jiang Clan remained calm.

Upon a cliff, a snow-clad, peerlessly beautiful woman stood facing the wind, like a fresh moon's glow, jade tree piled with snow.

A gentle breeze stirred the strands at her temples, disheveling her painterly immortal face.

Her clear, autumn-water gaze gazed fixedly toward the far west.

That direction was the Mangzhou direction—the direction of the Eternal Burial Land.

This woman was Jiang Shengyi.

When her heart held no attachment, Jiang Shengyi devoted herself entirely to cultivation and had never known what it meant to count each day as a year.

Now, she understood it.

Though Jiang Shengyi knew deep down that Jun Xiaoyao was likely unharmed,

she still could not help but worry.

Suddenly, a murmuring voice rose behind her: "Shengyi-jie, daydreaming again?"

"Luo Li." Jiang Shengyi turned her gaze back; the petite figure behind her was Jiang Luoli.

She plopped down on the cliff's edge, propping her chin on her jade hand, also gazing toward the far west.

"The Ancient Immortal World is about to open, but Brother Xiaoyao hasn't returned yet."

"Don't worry—Xiaoyao won't be harmed," Jiang Shengyi declared firmly.

Jiang Luoli suddenly said: "Shengyi-jie, Brother Xiaoyao seems to treat you very well. When that Wang Clan's Young Emperor wanted to marry you, Brother Xiaoyao was the first to oppose it."

Jiang Luoli's words made Jiang Shengyi's heart skip.

"If it were anyone else, Xiaoyao would do the same," Jiang Shengyi forced a smile.

Jiang Luoli's big eyes flickered slightly, then she nodded her small head: "Yes, Brother Xiaoyao is just the type—cold outside, warm inside. So I will never let go of him, absolutely never!"

Jiang Luoli rose, brushed the dust from her skirt, and turned to Jiang Shengyi with a wide smile, two deep dimples appearing on her cheeks.

Then Jiang Luoli departed.

"Did that girl figure it out?" Jiang Shengyi watched Jiang Luoli's bouncing figure vanish, her expression dimming.
