Chapter 79: The Body Book of the Nine Heavenly Books, Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Art Reaches Minor Accomplishment, Azure Heaven A

The great opportunity Ji Xuan had long coveted was ultimately snatched away by Jun Xiaoyao.

If the box contained nothing valuable, it would be a betrayal of Ji Xuan’s painstaking efforts.

Jun Xiaoyao opened the box.

At first glance, the first thing to catch his eye was an ancient, dark golden scroll, as if forged from gold foil.

“What is this?” Jun Xiaoyao murmured in slight confusion.

He unrolled the dark golden scroll.

Instantly, countless ancient characters appeared before Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes.

Each ancient character radiated boundless divine light, like stars revolving in the heavens.

For an ordinary person, merely glancing at them would blind their eyes.

But Jun Xiaoyao was no ordinary man—he was the Primordial Saint Body, and golden light flared in his eyes as he swept his gaze across them.

As he read, Jun Xiaoyao’s expression turned to shock.

For someone as calm and composed as Jun Xiaoyao to show such a reaction, one could only imagine the depth of his astonishment.

“Could this be… the Nine Heavenly Books?”

Jun Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned, hardly daring to believe it.

In the Immortal Realm, no cultivator would be unaware of the Nine Heavenly Books.

The Nine Heavenly Books were not written by human hands, nor were they the legacy of any single sect.

They had existed since the very inception of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Some said they were written by the “Immortals.”

Others claimed they were manifestations of the Dao’s cosmic laws.

In short, every theory had its proponents.

But one thing was certain: the Nine Heavenly Books could never have been created by any mortal.

Not even an Emperor could forge them.

The greatest value of the Nine Heavenly Books lay in each book representing an ultimate principle.

For instance, the Book of Void was the ultimate of the Way of Space.

The Book of Time was the ultimate of the Way of Time.

The other books each represented a different ultimate path.

Rumors even claimed that if one could gather all Nine Heavenly Books, they could merge them into one and forge a path to Immortality.

It was precisely because of these legends that countless beings had frantically searched for their whereabouts.

Yet throughout countless eons, not even one or two of them had ever appeared—let alone gathering all nine.

Jun Xiaoyao never imagined that within this wooden box lay a Heavenly Book.

“Judging by its content, this must be the Body Book—one of the Nine Heavenly Books, the ultimate of physical cultivation,” Jun Xiaoyao murmured, his voice betraying unmistakable emotion.

No one could lay eyes on a Heavenly Book without being stirred.

And even more coincidentally, this book was the Body Book—the very one that perfectly matched Jun Xiaoyao’s Primordial Saint Body.

“First the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Art, now the Body Book—does this mean I’m destined to become a Physical Emperor?” Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly—the Body Book seemed incomplete.

It appeared to contain only the upper volume.

“Ah, right—the residual soul of Yuan Tian the Supreme had said that the missing part lay on the Lower Realm continent.”

“So does that mean the lower volume of the Body Book is hidden among the Ten Lands?” Jun Xiaoyao whispered.

This possibility was very high.

“I’ll have to descend to the Lower Realm someday—the Body Book is too vital to me,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

His Primordial Saint Body, combined with the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Art, and now the Body Book—one of the Nine Heavenly Books.

Once fully cultivated, how formidable would his physical body become?

Even the Physical Emperors of the Ancient Era would pale in comparison.

Inside the wooden box, besides the Body Book, lay a fragment of broken bronze.

Compared to the Body Book, the bronze fragment seemed utterly unremarkable.

It didn’t resemble any divine metal—just ancient and plain.

When Jun Xiaoyao held it in his hand, he was surprised to find he could not crush it.

Jun Xiaoyao’s current physical strength was immense—he could shatter ordinary royal or marquis weapons with ease, let alone divine metals.

Yet this seemingly insignificant bronze fragment was incredibly resilient.

“Strange… I’ll show it to Grandpa later,” Jun Xiaoyao said, stowing the bronze fragment away.

Next, he pulled out the Saint-King’s hand bone and five dragon bones.

Jun Xiaoyao had already separated the Saint-King’s hand bone.

The entire bone was as white as jade, inscribed with intricate Dao patterns.

Even just lying there, it radiated the pressure of a Saint realm.

Ji Xuan’s rise among prodigies owed much to this Saint-King’s hand bone.

A single hand bone could forge a powerful prodigy.

But Jun Xiaoyao had no intention of fusing it into his own arm.

Merging someone else’s bones into one’s body was simply unsettling.

Moreover, his Primordial Saint Body was already among the strongest physiques—once fully matured, it would dwarf the Saint-King’s hand bone by countless times.

There was no need to abandon the root for the branches.

“Though I won’t fuse it into my arm, I can use it to forge a magic treasure,” Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

He planned to craft the Saint-King’s hand bone into a weapon.

As for the five dragon bones:

The four ancient dragon bones, Jun Xiaoyao intended to bestow upon Jun Zhangjian and others.

After all, they had contributed greatly within the Yuan Tian Secret Treasury.

Proper rewards must be given.

As for the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, Jun Xiaoyao naturally claimed it for himself.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao immediately summoned the Hell Crucible, drawing the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone inside.

Instantly, torrents of essence surged wildly.

The power contained within the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone was immense—if Xiao Chen had obtained it, he could have undergone a great transformation.

But now, all of it benefited Jun Xiaoyao.

Inside his body, a series of popping sounds erupted like beans bursting—one after another, the Giant Elephant Micro-particles awakened.

Eighty thousand…

Ninety thousand…

Finally, all one hundred thousand Giant Elephant Micro-particles within Jun Xiaoyao’s body awakened completely!

Golden divine radiance erupted from Jun Xiaoyao’s entire body!

Behind him, a solid, tangible golden divine elephant appeared, its trunk curling as it roared to the heavens, exuding an aura capable of suppressing the Eight Directions and roaring down the stars!

At this moment, the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Art reached its first-stage minor accomplishment.

With every movement, Jun Xiaoyao unleashed ten billion divine catties of power—he could shatter stars with a single punch and collapse ancient mountains!

“No wonder it’s the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone—this energy is immense,” Jun Xiaoyao marveled.

After the Divine Elephant Subduing Hell Art’s transformation, the next step was to convert the Giant Elephant Micro-particles into Dragon-Elephant Micro-particles.

Dragon-Elephant Micro-particles were ten times stronger than Giant Elephant Micro-particles.

That meant if Jun Xiaoyao converted all Giant Elephant Micro-particles into Dragon-Elephant Micro-particles, his physical divine power would surge tenfold.

One hundred billion divine catties of power!

The thought alone was terrifying.

Moreover, the benefits from the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone extended beyond this.

For within the Ancestral Dragon Bone lay Ancestral Dragon Blood Marrow.

This energy merged with Jun Xiaoyao’s internal dragon qi, triggering another transformation in his Dragon Scale Inner Armor.

With a slight exertion, a sleek, emerald-gold dragon armor formed, perfectly fitting his body.

This armor was more than ten times more defensive than his previous Dragon Scale Inner Armor.

Dressed in the dragon armor, Jun Xiaoyao lost some of his celestial, otherworldly aura and gained instead a cold, authoritative, war-god-like dominance.

At this moment, he looked more like the true dragon prince of the Ancestral Dragon Nest than Long Hao Tian and the others.

“This armor—I’ll call it the Azure Heaven Ancestral Dragon Armor,” Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

Originally, the Azure Heaven Ancestral Dragon Armor should have been a technique Xiao Chen could manifest.

But since Jun Xiaoyao had seized both the dragon qi and the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, it was he who ultimately reaped the benefit.
