Chapter 408

The greatest opportunity in this region is naturally the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake.

Jun Xiaoyao was also very interested in the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake and wanted to know what kind of opportunity it held.

Not to mention, there was a Jun family sequence within the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake, and Jun Xiaoyao wished to seek it out to better understand the current state of the Immortal Ancient world.

Jun Xiaoyao summoned Lei Mingyuan to gather information.

"If the Divine Son has sensed it, then the Dao Lake's eruption must be near—I know the location of the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake and can guide you."

Lei Mingyuan fully played the role of servant and guide.

"Hmm, fine, let's go now." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

Then he glanced at Princess Long Ji and said coolly, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Dragon People should also be at the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake—you can go there to seek revenge."

After speaking, Jun Xiaoyao prepared to leave.

Princess Long Ji's beautiful eyes flickered; she watched his retreating back, clenched her teeth, and unexpectedly followed after him.

Jun Xiaoyao paused his steps, turned back, and looked at Princess Long Ji. "You're trying to follow your master?"

Princess Long Ji ground her silver teeth but still forced herself to say, "I don't know the way—can I?"

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly. "You're probably afraid the Dragon People will set another trap for you—that's why you're following."

Her intentions exposed, Princess Long Ji's expression turned unnatural.

Indeed, though her strength was formidable, if she were deceived again as before, she would be powerless.

Moreover, the Dragon People were the local masters—tricking Princess Long Ji was far too easy for them.

In that case, following Jun Xiaoyao might even be safer.

"Fine, as your master, I'm quite lenient toward my mount." Jun Xiaoyao dismissed it, though he sneered inwardly.

Jiang Taigong fished with a straight hook—those who wish to be caught will come.

Princess Long Ji had walked into the trap herself; Jun Xiaoyao could only accept her willingly.

Princess Long Ji remained silent, saying nothing more, like a mistreated servant, trailing behind Jun Xiaoyao.

The three of them set off toward the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake.

Meanwhile, Long Ao Tian, Ao Luan, and Bai Meier had also departed.

…

The Immortal Ancient Dao Lake, though called a "Dao Lake," was not merely a single lake but an extremely vast region.

Within this region, countless lakes of all sizes dotted the landscape.

At specific times, these lakes would erupt violently, simultaneously spewing forth numerous opportunities and treasures.

The entire Immortal Ancient Dao Lake was divided into the outer region, middle region, inner region, and core region.

The outer region held only scattered, tiny Dao Lakes—so small they were little more than puddles, and the treasures they spewed were utterly ordinary.

The middle region contained Dao Lakes spanning dozens of zhang in diameter.

The opportunities within these hundred-zhang lakes were far more valuable, enough to catch the eye of even prodigies.

The inner region featured some thousand-zhang Dao Lakes—extremely rare and few in number.

Yet the opportunities they ejected were far more precious than those of the hundred-zhang lakes.

Generally, prodigies from immortal sects might seek opportunities in this region.

Within the core region lay ten-thousand-zhang Dao Lakes.

These were the rarest and most valuable Dao Lakes, typically controlled by powerful Immortal Ancient races.

Only a select few prodigies with supreme strength or established ties with the Immortal Ancient races were granted the right to compete for their opportunities.

After several days, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake under Lei Mingyuan's guidance.

Jun Xiaoyao looked out— the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake stretched endlessly, vast and boundless, a land brimming with spiritual energy.

The dense spiritual energy of the Immortal Ancient world converged here.

Clearly, the eruption of the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake was imminent.

"Divine Son, the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake is divided into regions—let me explain." Lei Mingyuan said.

After his explanation, Jun Xiaoyao had a general understanding of the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake's layout.

"Then what are we waiting for? Head straight for the core region." Jun Xiaoyao said coolly.

Only the ten-thousand-zhang Dao Lakes in the core region were truly valuable.

If so, there was nothing left to discuss.

"This… Divine Son, are you really going straight there? The core region is occupied by powerful Immortal Ancient races—besides the Dragon People, there are also the Ancient Witch Clan and the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan."

Lei Mingyuan hesitated.

Jun Xiaoyao was indeed strong.

But even a strong dragon cannot suppress the local snakes—some Immortal Ancient races were still formidable.

Among these Immortal Ancient races, there were four strongest.

They were the Dragon People, the Ancient Witch Clan, the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan, and the Li People.

These four races could walk with impunity throughout the Immortal Ancient world.

Even heirs of immortal sects would yield three steps when encountering them, daring not to offend too deeply.

Was Jun Xiaoyao's attitude a bit too aggressive?

"What's this? Whoever dares block me from claiming opportunity must die—even the four greatest Immortal Ancient races are no exception!" Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.

Behind him, Princess Long Ji's gaze sharpened.

"Jun Xiaoyao is as arrogant as ever," Princess Long Ji thought inwardly.

Lei Mingyuan nodded silently, saying nothing more.

Following Jun Xiaoyao might actually yield some real gains.

Take the risk—bicycle becomes motorcycle.

He had decided to go all in.

Watching the resolve in Lei Mingyuan's eyes, Jun Xiaoyao nodded inwardly.

The Lei Di Great Divine Art could be entrusted to him later.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others prepared to enter the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake region,

a quarrel erupted ahead.

A group of external prodigies were arguing with Immortal Ancient race beings.

"You're going too far! We've already handed over Divine Sources—why won't you let us in?" A delicate girl's face flushed red with fury.

They were disciples from several top-tier external sects—not exceptional, but still formidable.

Yet now they were blocked by a group of Immortal Ancient race beings demanding a toll.

What enraged them most was that they had already paid their Divine Sources, yet these Immortal Ancient beings still refused them entry.

"You're too many, and your Divine Sources are too few. Hand over any other treasures to settle your debt," sneered an Immortal Ancient being wreathed in lightning.

Coincidentally, this Immortal Ancient being belonged to the Thunder Monkey Clan.

Also present were beings from the Diamond Clan, Wind Spirit Clan, and Rock Demon Clan, collecting tolls.

Previously, Jun Xiaoyao had slain only the strongest prodigies among these four clans.

Many younger clan members still remained.

"This is too much!" A young man clenched his teeth, his magic power trembling.

"If you want to fight, go ahead—I guarantee you'll never survive in the Immortal Ancient world. You'll all die!" the Thunder Monkey being threatened coldly.

"Enough," the delicate girl gritted her teeth, her body trembling as she forced herself to endure.

At that moment, the Thunder Monkey being's peripheral vision caught several figures approaching the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake from the side.

"Wait! Stop right there! If you want to enter, pay the toll first!" the Thunder Monkey being barked.

The delicate girl and the others instinctively turned their gazes.

When the girl saw the ethereal white-robed figure, her face froze in stunned disbelief.

"Are you speaking to me?"

Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly, a faint smile on his lips.

That smile was dangerous.
