Chapter 479

Previously, some busybodies had selected the four most prominent prodigies in the Huangtian Immortal Realm.

The Jun Clan's Son of God.

The Wang Clan's Young Emperor.

The Ancestral Zu Zu Long Chao's First Generation.

The Ye Clan's Sword Demon reincarnation.

Yet in the blink of an eye, of these four most prominent prodigies, only one, Ye Guchen, remained to fight on the Emperor Road; one has to say, it is lamentable.

Just as Ye Guchen emerged from seclusion, causing shock in all directions.

In Hongzhou, where the Ancestral Zu Zu Long Chao was stationed, astonishing auras also erupted from the depths of the mountain range.

Many creatures of the Primordial races in the surrounding area sensed that terrifying might and could not help but cast their gazes over.

A figure soared into the sky like a flaming meteor.

What was shocking was that surrounding this figure, there was actually a phantom of an Ancestral Dragon and a phantom of a Divine Phoenix.

Set off by the Ancestral Dragon and True Phoenix, that figure looked like a Dragon-Phoenix Emperor, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

The pressure of the cultivation realm vaguely emitted reached the Great Perfection of the Dao God Realm, only a thin line away from Quasi-Saint.

"Heavens, such a strong cultivation realm; could that be the Dragon-Phoenix Body created by the Ancestral Zu Zu Long Chao and Wanhuang Lingshan joining forces?"

"It is rumored that this Dragon-Phoenix Body refined the complete blood of the Ancestral Dragon and the Divine Phoenix, possessing infinite potential; his talent is absolutely no weaker than the previous Jun Clan Son of God."

Just as many divine senses were communicating from all directions.

This young figure wrapped in the Dragon-Phoenix phantoms said in an indifferent tone: "Long Aotian has already become the past."

"Princess Long Ji, actually willing to become a mount, is likewise a disgrace to the Ancestral Zu Zu Long Chao."

"Huang Tiange and Feng Luofi are also useless people; that ancient freak Huang Jiuyan is barely worth looking at."

"The reason Jun Xiaoyao was able to become famous in all directions before was because I, Long Xuhuang, had not yet emerged!"

This figure was none other than the Dragon-Phoenix Body, Long Xuhuang!

Long Xuhuang stepped through the air, a dragon and a phoenix appearing beneath his feet to support his body as he crossed the firmament, leaving behind countless shocked gazes.

It could be said that with top prodigies like Ye Guchen and Long Xuhuang emerging from seclusion one after another.

Endless prodigies across the entire Huangtian Immortal Realm began to head toward the Emperor Road.

In the Jiang Clan of Qingzhou, atop a cliff, a peerless beauty in snow-white clothes stood against the wind, like a clear halo around a new moon, a jade tree piled with snow.

A gentle breeze ruffled the snow-white hair at her temples, disheveling a face as beautiful as a painting.

It was none other than Jiang Shengyi.

Only, unlike before, Jiang Shengyi's full head of black hair had turned into snow-white hair.

That was because, after learning that Jun Xiaoyao's life tablet had shattered, Jiang Shengyi's black hair had turned white overnight.

Morning like black silk, evening turned to snow!

Her full head of black hair, now pale as snow, added a touch of sorrowful beauty to Jiang Shengyi's flawless fairy-like face.

Behind her, the figure of Jiang Luoli appeared.

What remained unchanged was her height of 1.5 meters.

What had changed was that slightly haggard, delicate face.

Jiang Luoli had also suffered greatly during this year, pining away for Jun Xiaoyao.

"Sister Shengyi, the Emperor Road has opened, and the clan elders want us to set off," Jiang Luoli said.

Jiang Shengyi was silent.

After a long while, she suddenly spoke: "I like Xiaoyao."

Jiang Luoli was slightly stunned, not expecting Jiang Shengyi to choose to confess at this moment.

Jiang Luoli also revealed a bitter smile and said: "Sister Shengyi, even if Luoli is stupid, I'm not so slow as to not realize that, right?"

What should have been guessed, she had already guessed.

Those who understand, understand; many things actually don't need to be stated clearly.

"Luoli, I'm sorry," Jiang Shengyi murmured.

A wind blew, lifting her full head of white hair like snow, sorrowful and moving.

Seeing Jiang Shengyi like this, what else could Jiang Luoli say?

She smiled bitterly: "What's the use of saying these things now? Let's wait for Brother Xiaoyao to return; Luoli believes that Brother Xiaoyao will absolutely not die."

"Mm, I also believe Xiaoyao will not die, so I want to go to the Emperor Road, to become stronger, and not hold Xiaoyao back," Jiang Shengyi's eyes were firm.

As the Innate Dao Embryo, she had received a great boost during the spiritual energy recovery, and her cultivation was now in the Dao God Realm, not too far from Quasi-Saint.

Looking at Jiang Shengyi, there was also a trace of sorrow in Jiang Luoli's large eyes.

Compared to her, a naughty, unmotivated, and useless little short-leg.

Jun Xiaoyao should prefer a big sister like Jiang Shengyi, who is gentle, understanding, and would support and encourage him from behind.

"I'm really not reconciled..." Jiang Luoli clenched her small fists, a firm will emerging in her large eyes for the first time.

Jiang Luoli also wanted to strive to become stronger; she believed that little short-legs would also have their spring.

A group of prodigies from the Jiang Clan also stepped onto the Emperor Road.

And the Jun Clan, with sequence members like Jun Jun Mo Xiao and Jun Lingcang, also stepped onto the Emperor Road.

Yiyu, Yan Qingying, and others also set out.

Princess Long Ji, who had been staying at the Jun Clan, also set off.

"Jun Xiaoyao, will your name resound on the Emperor Road once again?" Princess Long Ji whispered.

She actually didn't quite believe that Jun Xiaoyao would fall.

How could a person who was so calculating put himself in a death trap?

There were quite a few others who held the same thoughts as Princess Long Ji.

Many people believed that if Jun Xiaoyao had truly fallen, the Jun Clan's reaction would have been too cold.

Many people were looking forward to the future, hoping that one day, they might hear the three words "Jun Xiaoyao" resound through the starry sky again.

Time continued to pass.

Nearly another year passed, and many prodigies had already begun to make a name for themselves on the trial Emperor Road.

As for Jun Xiaoyao's name, it was gradually no longer mentioned.

However, some observant people discovered something.

If Jun Xiaoyao were still alive, he would be eighteen years old now.

Just the right age for an adulthood ceremony.

"Alas, if Jun Xiaoyao hadn't entered the Bronze Immortal Hall, he might have achieved the Quasi-Saint Realm by now; an eighteen-year-old Quasi-Saint, just thinking about it is terrifying."

"That's right, walking the Emperor Road with a Quasi-Saint cultivation, even if not sweeping across it, at least he would be an absolute giant."

"What's the use of talking about this now?"

"However, I did hear that the Jun Clan seems to have the intention of holding an eighteen-year-old adulthood ceremony banquet for Jun Xiaoyao."

"What, really? The person is already dead, and they still want to hold an adulthood ceremony?"

As this news spread, many cultivators in the Huangtian Immortal Realm were extremely surprised.

Had the Jun Clan gone mad, holding an adulthood ceremony for a fallen prodigy?

Then, afterward, an even more shocking piece of news was revealed.

Rumors had it that the treasury of the Samsara Demon Sect seemed to have appeared in the world.

With this, many people understood that the Jun Clan was actually using a diversionary tactic.

On the surface, they were using Jun Xiaoyao's eighteen-year-old adulthood ceremony as a front to attract the attention of various factions in the Immortal Realm.

Privately, they were trying to find a way to monopolize the Samsara Demon Sect's treasury.

The Samsara Demon Sect was, after all, an Immortal Faction, and the treasury it left behind was naturally worth a fortune.

Not to mention the rumors that the Samsara Demon Sect's Emperor Weapon, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, was hidden within the treasury.

Even a wealthy and powerful clan like the Jun Clan could not turn a blind eye to the Samsara Demon Sect's treasury.

As for why they believed the Jun Clan had the ability to obtain the Samsara Demon Sect's treasury.

That was naturally because the Samsara Demon Sect's descendant, Wang Chuan, was still staying at the Jun Clan.

Only he could find the correct location of the Samsara Demon Sect's treasury, open the treasury gate, and obtain the resources within.

And this was clearly not something that hostile factions like the Primordial Royal Clans were willing to see.
