Chapter 481: The Saint Returns

The moment Jun Jun Xiaoyao opened his eyes, a terrifying Saint-level pressure swept outward.

It is hard to imagine that Jun Jun Xiaoyao is only eighteen years old.

An eighteen-year-old Saint—if you told anyone, they would think it was a joke.

You must know that even the Supreme Elders of some first-rate factions only possess the cultivation base of a Saint.

In other words, Jun Jun Xiaoyao's current strength is already catching up to the powerhouses of the older generation.

One could even say that Jun Jun Xiaoyao is the youngest Saint in history, bar none!

Even Jun Jun Xiaoyao himself was dazed for a moment, his mind somewhat chaotic.

After all, having slumbered in the void for two years, it was impossible for Jun Jun Xiaoyao to regain his senses immediately.

A moment later, Jun Jun Xiaoyao's mind gradually recalled the events that had transpired.

Entering the Immortal Palace, killing Wang Teng and Long Long Aotian, stepping into the killing array, and being submerged by the Mother Qi of All Things.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao slowly raised his hand and examined himself.

His flesh was snow-white and flawless, like the finest jade, shimmering with immortal light—any woman who saw it would be jealous.

More importantly, Jun Jun Xiaoyao's flesh was actually emitting a refreshing fragrance.

At the same time, countless Dao patterns reflected around his body, as if resonating with him.

This was the flesh tempered by the Mother Qi of All Things, having reached the absolute perfection of the physical body.

"Have I turned into Tang Seng meat?" Jun Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless.

This flesh smelled so fragrant that even he wanted to take a bite of himself.

Now, a single drop of his blood or a piece of his flesh would likely be a priceless treasure; if a mortal were to refine it, they would immediately become a monstrous body-refining genius.

"Perhaps in the future, I really can become an Emperor through my physical body," Jun Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

So-called "becoming an Emperor through the physical body" means that while one's cultivation realm has not reached the Great Emperor level, the body itself is already comparable to that of a Great Emperor.

An existence who has achieved this is difficult to destroy, even for a true Great Emperor.

Below the Great Emperor level, such a body is almost invincible; no one can destroy it.

Of course, achieving this is extremely difficult; throughout history, there have been only a handful of such individuals.

Even with Jun Jun Xiaoyao's previous aptitude, wanting to achieve this would have been fraught with difficulties.

But now, after the reshaping by the Mother Qi of All Things, Jun Jun Xiaoyao already has the hope of becoming an Emperor through his physical body.

The benefits the Mother Qi of All Things brought to Jun Jun Xiaoyao do not end there.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao subconsciously activated his physical body, and a strand of immortal energy coiled around his skin like a dragon.

But immediately after, a second strand of immortal energy appeared.

This strand of immortal energy was mysterious yellow in color, as heavy as the earth, and carried the profound aura of the origin of all things.

The immortal energy dripped down in threads, carrying the profound mysteries of all things, as if manifesting mountains, rivers, seas, plants, insects, and fish.

At the same time, its weight distorted the void, as if it could crush ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

After two years of tempering by the Mother Qi of All Things, Jun Jun Xiaoyao had unknowingly condensed a second strand of immortal energy.

Immortal energy condensed from the Mother Qi of All Things.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao had already condensed two strands of immortal energy before even entering the Emperor Road.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

Even for geniuses who have trained on the Emperor Road for a long time, condensing a single strand of immortal energy is extremely difficult and requires various great opportunities.

Two strands of immortal energy is a level that the vast majority of Emperor Road geniuses can never reach in their entire lives.

"Not a bad harvest," Jun Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Condensing the second strand of immortal energy was an unexpected joy, and Jun Jun Xiaoyao continued to examine his body.

He also discovered that the one hundred thousand elephant particles within his body had unknowingly transformed into one hundred thousand divine elephant particles.

The Divine Elephant Overpowering Prison Art was now completely perfected.

Now, with every move Jun Jun Xiaoyao made, the strength of one hundred thousand divine elephants was added, far exceeding his previous divine strength of ten billion jin.

At the same time, Jun Jun Xiaoyao could manifest the true form of the divine elephant—the true Primordial Divine Elephant that suppresses the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; with one strike, ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers would collapse!

It can be said that Jun Jun Xiaoyao's physical body, after being tempered by the Mother Qi of All Things, had reached the absolute limit.

Next, Jun Jun Xiaoyao noticed his Three-Life Primordial Spirit; the past primordial spirit had already condensed into shape.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao was also surprised to find that his primordial spirit was far, far stronger than before.

Now, Jun Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit power could crush the past Jun Jun Xiaoyao without any pressure.

"How can this be? Even if the past primordial spirit condensed into shape, my primordial spirit power shouldn't have surged this much, right?" Jun Jun Xiaoyao himself felt it was inconceivable.

His consciousness had been slumbering, so naturally, he could not have noticed that he had absorbed the Immortal Ancient Spirit.

Subsequently, Jun Jun Xiaoyao noticed his own realm.

Saint Realm!

Jun Jun Xiaoyao did not feel surprised by this.

Having been soaked in the Mother Qi of All Things for so long, with his body reshaped and tempered, it was impossible for his realm not to have risen at all.

It was just that surging directly from the Dao God Realm to the Saint Realm was indeed a bit exaggerated.

But for Jun Jun Xiaoyao, whose talent was already monstrous, this was actually the most normal thing.

There was just one point that Jun Jun Xiaoyao found strange.

He had not undergone the Saint Tribulation.

Logically speaking, when breaking through to the Saint Realm, there should be a Saint Tribulation; if one survives, they perfectly enter the Saint Realm, and if they fail, they perish.

This is considered a life-and-death tribulation.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao could not figure this out, so he simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Finally, his gaze fell on the incomplete ancient talisman and the bronze tripod.

"If this ancient talisman hadn't protected my primordial spirit, I would have been in danger too," Jun Jun Xiaoyao put away the ancient talisman.

He had already decided that if possible in the future, he must find the other half of the ancient talisman; this was a protective Emperor Weapon.

"Supreme Weapon, Mother Qi of All Things Tripod..." Jun Jun Xiaoyao examined his sign-in reward.

This Mother Qi of All Things Tripod was incomparably heavy and dense, with three legs and two ears, its surface carved with the floating images of all living things, mountains, rivers, seas, the sun, moon, stars, plants, insects, and fish.

Strands of the Mother Qi of All Things rolled endlessly within the tripod.

Logically speaking, the Mother Qi of All Things is extremely heavy; a single strand can crush ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and ordinary Supreme Weapons cannot withstand this power.

But the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod is a top-tier Supreme Weapon.

Most importantly, it has the potential to continue growing.

"If it were just a simple Supreme Weapon, it obviously wouldn't reach an eight-star rarity level. With the potential of the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod, if I collect the source root of the Mother Qi of All Things and other immortal metals, let alone reaching a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, reaching an Emperor Weapon or even an Immortal Artifact is not impossible..." Jun Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

The reason the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod is an eight-star reward is not because of its current grade, but because of its future potential.

Quasi-Emperor Weapon, Emperor Weapon, and then Immortal Artifact.

The Mother Qi of All Things Tripod is an existence that has the possibility of becoming a supreme Immortal Artifact!

After two years of absorption, a portion of the Mother Qi of All Things within the Bronze Immortal Palace had been absorbed by Jun Jun Xiaoyao's physical body.

The other portion had been absorbed into the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod.

Jun Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and summoned the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod.

That heavy pressure even made Jun Jun Xiaoyao's hand sink slightly.

"No need for any fancy tricks; if this tripod presses down, a Saint's physical body would be shattered directly," Jun Jun Xiaoyao sighed in admiration.

Smashing people with a tripod is much more satisfying than hitting them with gloves.

Just then, the system's voice sounded in Jun Jun Xiaoyao's mind again.

"Ding, a new sign-in location has been refreshed. Please sign in on the Emperor Road."

"Oh? How much time has passed? Even the Emperor Road has opened?" Jun Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

He was not quite sure how long he had been slumbering.

At this moment, all the Mother Qi of All Things in the Bronze Immortal Palace had been absorbed by Jun Jun Xiaoyao's body and the Mother Qi of All Things Tripod.

That killing array, having lost the Mother Qi of All Things, was no longer operating and had been silent for a long time.

A trace of an inexplicable emotion flashed in Jun Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, and then he suddenly cupped his hands slightly toward the void.

"During this time, thank you all for your care, seniors."
