Chapter 4586

Boom!

As Jun Xiaoyao's words fell.

That vast illusion, like a mirror surface, shattered inch by inch.

Jun Xiaoyao's illusion before his eyes vanished, and everything returned to calm once more.

Before him, the fishing old man's fishing rod in his hand trembled slightly.

Obviously, Jun Xiaoyao's words were somewhat beyond his expectation.

However, after a moment, the fishing old man suddenly smiled.

"What a fine one who does not seek to defy heaven or follow heaven, but only seeks to roam the world freely."

"Young friend, your path is, however, ten thousand times harder than becoming an immortal."

The fishing old man sighed softly.

Although becoming an immortal is the dream of all beings.

But what Jun Xiaoyao desires is unfettered freedom and ease.

This is far too extravagant compared to becoming an immortal.

For even if one becomes an immortal, even possessing the power to transcend the mundane six paths.

Yet in the end, it is still difficult to completely break free from shackles.

How difficult it is to desire complete freedom and ease!

However, Jun Xiaoyao also smiled faintly.

"Since I am named Jun Xiaoyao, I naturally ought to follow my heart and seek that one lifetime of freedom."

"Becoming an immortal is also not my end."

These words, if spoken by others, might perhaps seem somewhat arrogant.

But coming from Jun Xiaoyao's mouth, they are utterly natural.

For his name is the footnote of his entire life.

The fishing old man said: "Not unworthy of being the descendant of my fishing friend."

"But I never expected you to bear the surname Jun, and yet still come from the Jun clan."

"It seems your background, young friend Xiaoyao, is somewhat complicated..."

Although this fishing old man's realm is unfathomably deep.

Yet he appears, and yet does not bear the aloof, indifferent demeanor of the supreme powerhouse.

Instead, he seems quite carefree.

"Senior is joking; I also just have this little bit of background."

"I am simply not comparable to you, senior."

Jun Xiaoyao's words carry a hidden meaning.

The fishing old man also smiled: "Young friend Xiaoyao, you had better not probe my origins."

"I have said, I am merely a fishing old man forgotten by the ages."

"The forces behind me have long turned to historical dust."

"However, even if it were during the most glorious ages of the past."

"Still, I cannot compare to your Jun clan..."

The fishing old man said this, and his words also carried a hint of sentiment.

Flourishing powers are not uncommon in history.

But like the Jun clan, able to permeate ancient history, enduring and prosperous, extending through myriad ages.

Are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

After sighing softly, the fishing old man also said.

"Well, no more sentimentality."

"As for my origins, you will naturally know in the future."

"And for now, the answer you gave, although somewhat beyond my expectation."

"But it also counts as passing the trial, so..."

The fishing old man's words paused, then he flicked his sleeve.

A stream of light suddenly plunged into Jun Xiaoyao's glabella.

Jun Xiaoyao did not avoid it.

He felt the fishing old man should be a genuine person, and would not harm him.

Of course, the premise is not to disturb him when he cannot catch fish.

As this stream of light plunged into his glabella.

Jun Xiaoyao discovered, in his sea of consciousness, there suddenly appeared a token flowing with light and color, immortal radiance entwined.

On the token, there were cloud-sea patterns, immortal birds and divine beasts, sun, moon, and rivers of stars, immortal light flowing, divine radiance radiating outward.

More importantly, at the center of the token, there could be seen two ancient characters.

Detain Immortal!

Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts stirred slightly.

Anything related to immortals is never simple.

But this token, actually engraved with the two characters Detain Immortal.

This aura is certainly not small.

"Senior, this object..." Jun Xiaoyao showed an inquiring look.

The old fisherman said: "This also counts as, a token, I suppose."

"Young friend Xiaoyao, you're quite to my taste."

"Moreover, I observe you, you also hide quite a few secrets on your person, some of which even I cannot see through."

"And since you are of the Jun family, who knows, perhaps you will truly take that step in the future."

"It can also be considered as having formed a good affinity in advance."

"Although for me, a lonely old man forgotten by the ages, it also holds no particular meaning..."

The old fisherman spoke with a hint of teasing.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, detected a faint trace of melancholy and loneliness in his tone.

But soon, it was concealed, and he continued.

"Furthermore, I must tell you, there are many good things in the Immortal Soil."

"Although many have previously explored it, even burying themselves within it."

"But in fact, they did not obtain the core opportunity."

"You may have this opportunity."

"Thank you, senior, for bestowing the opportunity." Jun Xiaoyao solemnly clasped his hands.

He felt that the token given to him by this senior old fisherman.

Should pertain to a tremendous opportunity and karmic connection.

Perhaps related to the power behind the old fisherman.

This is a great fortune, which the old fisherman simply gave him.

It is indeed considered a favor.

The old fisherman slightly waved his hand and said: "No need, actually this fortune is also something you earned yourself."

"If your answer to the previous question had not satisfied me."

"I naturally would not have bestowed this opportunity upon you."

Mainly, Jun Xiaoyao's answer was indeed quite to his liking.

Moreover, he is a descendant of that fishing companion of yours.

And he is also a member of the Jun family.

With these conditions fulfilled, he felt he could not withhold it.

Afterwards, the old fisherman flicked his fishing rod.

The void ahead transformed into a vortex.

Within it, a vast and boundless starry ancient path faintly appeared.

Countless stars dotted it, as if leading to some mysterious place.

And vaguely, one could see, at the end of this misty starry ancient path.

As if there lay a mysterious land, floating amidst endless immortal mist.

Immortal radiance shimmered faintly, carrying a transcendent order of law.

Precisely, when gazing upon the vast expanse, it is an extremely rare nine-star level blessed land, the Immortal Soil.

"The end of this starry ancient path is the Immortal Soil."

"Nowadays, many fish have already gathered there, you should go as well."

Jun Xiaoyao again slightly clasped his hands toward the old fisherman.

Without saying much more, he directly stepped into that spatial vortex.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao's departing figure, the old fisherman's eyes beneath his bamboo hat and veil carried a hint of profundity.

"I have long been seeking a suitable successor for my sect, but have never found a fitting candidate."

"So I left an imprint in the Nine Heavens Tianhe during this celestial convergence, to see if a suitable candidate would appear."

"I never expected to encounter such an interesting little fellow."

"Jiang Shang, you do have a worthy descendant."

"Moreover, this little fellow also bears the bloodlines of the Jun family, the Jiang family, and even the Yun clan, his constitution is also quite extraordinary."

"When the great calamity arrives, and all worlds shift, though it is a catastrophe of heavenly destruction."

"Yet within destruction, one can also glimpse a thread of life."

"Perhaps the opportunity to become immortal in the vast expanse will appear in this lifetime."

"Once we fell short of success; I do not know if this time, I may be fortunate enough to witness it with my own eyes..."

Upon saying this, the old fisherman also let out a faint sigh.

Next, he only needs to wait quietly.

To observe Jun Xiaoyao's performance in the Immortal Soil.

And whether he truly possesses the ability to completely obtain this fortune and become the successor.
