Chapter 836

"Of course, I will talk about that task when everyone has arrived."

"For now, little friend Xiaoyao, temporarily settle down in the Imperial City, adjust your breath for a period of time, and welcome the upcoming challenges," Scar Ba Ba Siye smiled and said.

He still had a lot of confidence in Within Jun Xiaoyao.

Great Saint Perfection cultivation base, and his strength is far beyond his own realm.

He can even contend against a Quasi-Supreme with a Great Saint cultivation base.

Scar Ba Ba Siye had never seen such a heaven-defying monster in his entire life; this was the first time.

Although the God Ruins world is dangerous, for Within Jun Xiaoyao, there should not be too much of a problem.

Presumably, Within Jun Xiaoyao will also give those foreign brats a big surprise.

After the matter ended, Scar Ba Ba Siye left temporarily.

After all, he was a border-guarding veteran and needed to keep a close eye on the foreign border at all times, so he didn't have much time to waste on trivial matters.

However, he did call over a few border-guarding relics to let them handle Within Jun Xiaoyao's affairs well.

Regarding Jun Wuhei's matter, Within Jun Xiaoyao asked about it.

Scar Ba Ba Siye also sighed, not knowing the situation very well.

Because Jun Wuhei was not guarding the Original Imperial City, but had been guarding the Border Desolation battlefield for years.

Compared to the border, it was deeper and more dangerous.

Within Jun Xiaoyao nodded; he believed Jun Wuhei would not fall so easily.

Even if it was just one of the Three Pure Ones clones.

Subsequently, a few border-guarding relics took Within Jun Xiaoyao, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and Yu Chanjuan to find a mansion filled with spiritual energy to settle down.

"Wow, is this an immortal cave?" The Taiyin Jade Rabbit's eyes shone brightly.

Immortal herbs were everywhere, strange flowers and rocks, and spiritual energy was dense like mist.

The heaven and earth spiritual energy of the Original Imperial City was dense, and in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it could already be considered a top-notch treasure land.

And this mansion's spiritual energy was even denser, practically turning into rain and mist.

"Indeed not bad." Within Jun Xiaoyao was very satisfied.

They temporarily settled down in this mansion.

Outside the mansion, many prodigies were watching, but they didn't dare to get close, fearing to disturb Within Jun Xiaoyao and make him unhappy.

The Yama Demon Son, the Reincarnated Buddha Son, and others left with deep thought and seriousness on their faces.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's strength refreshed their cognition and also made them feel pressure.

After all, this Ultimate Trial Ground was not just a fight with foreign prodigies.

It was also a competition between Immortal Realm prodigies.

After everything was settled, Within Jun Xiaoyao also relaxed.

He did not choose to go into seclusion because the opening of the Ultimate Trial Ground was already very soon.

The Taiyin Jade Rabbit, on the other hand, clung to Within Jun Xiaoyao every day, sometimes turning into a little girl and nestling in his arms.

Sometimes turning into her rabbit form, letting Within Jun Xiaoyao stroke and smooth her fur.

Yu Chanjuan, on the other hand, watched with endless envy in her heart.

Although she lived next door to Within Jun Xiaoyao, Within Jun Xiaoyao didn't really look for her much.

Let alone anything happening.

This instead made Yu Chanjuan feel a bit disappointed.

Ordinary men would covet her body too late.

Within Jun Xiaoyao, however, had no interest.

But this instead made Yu Chanjuan even more infatuated with Within Jun Xiaoyao.

A few days later, a beautiful figure came to the front of Within Jun Xiaoyao's mansion, which surprised him.

The woman was in a blue dress, with a tall figure, long legs, and skin as white and crystal-clear as jade.

Her long hair was also blue, rippling like water, and shiny enough to reflect a person.

"Jun Lanxi?" Within Jun Xiaoyao was very surprised.

This woman was none other than Jun Lanxi of the Jun Clan's Hidden Lineage.

When they were at the Burial Emperor Star, Within Jun Xiaoyao had once saved the lives of Jun Lanxi and others.

Of course, he had also killed Jun Xuanming.

"Clan Brother Xiaoyao, you really came to the Original Imperial City, but you caused quite a stir as soon as you arrived," Jun Lanxi laughed.

"You know so clearly, it seems the Hidden Lineage also has people in the Original Imperial City," Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

Jun Lanxi nodded slightly.

"Are Jun Yinhuang and Jun Qingyan of the Hidden Lineage also in the Imperial City?" Within Jun Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

Jun Lanxi was startled and nodded her chin.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.

To tell the truth, the Eighteenth Ancestor and others had pinned the hope of the Hidden Lineage's return on Within Jun Xiaoyao.

But Within Jun Xiaoyao had not yet thought of a way to let the Hidden Lineage return.

"They are both in the Imperial City, yet they don't come to pay their respects. It seems they have opinions about this Divine Son," Within Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

It was probably because he had killed Jun Xuanming.

"No, it's not like that. Our Hidden Lineage does not hold hostility toward Clan Brother Xiaoyao," Jun Lanxi said hurriedly.

"Heh, no need for that, I don't care," Within Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.

After a little small talk, Jun Lanxi left.

Yu Within Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, a strange look flashed.

He was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that could completely allow the Hidden Lineage to return.

Actually, from Jun Lanxi, one could see that the Hidden Lineage and the Jun Clan's Main Lineage didn't really have any extreme conflicts or deep hatred.

It was purely because their philosophies were different.

In that case, as long as there was an opportunity, Within Jun Xiaoyao could let the Hidden Lineage return.

At that time, the Main Lineage and Hidden Lineage would be united.

Even someone as strong as the Supreme Immortal Court would likely be very wary.

"By the way, it's time to go to the Merit Hall to take a look."

Within Jun Xiaoyao had not forgotten that he still had one chance for a freebie.

Within Jun Xiaoyao took the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and Yu Chanjuan out.

The Merit Hall was very easy to find, in the central region of the Original Imperial City.

Although it was far away, there was a teleportation array, so they could arrive quickly.

Before long, Within Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the Merit Hall.

Looking over, the stone hall built of basalt was vast and solemn, diffusing an ancient and magnificent aura.

From time to time, some border-guarding relics and cultivators entered and exited here.

At the entrance of the stone hall, a guard saw Within Jun Xiaoyao arrive, stepped forward, and cupped his hands, saying, "You must be the Jun Clan's Divine Son. Scar Ba Ba Siye has already sent word before; the Divine Son can choose one treasure for free in the Merit Hall."

"Many thanks." Within Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.

Subsequently, the few of them entered.

Looking over, the entire Merit Hall was larger than it looked from the outside, with spatial fluctuations rippling.

Inside here, it was actually a vast space.

All kinds of rare treasures, ancient books, and scriptures released brilliant rays of light.

On top were also flashing numbers, representing the merit points needed to exchange for this treasure.

Within Jun Xiaoyao did not have merit points, but he could choose one item for free.

"Wow wow, so many treasures, purple gold ginseng, heaven bodhi fruit, white jade big carrot..." The Taiyin Jade Rabbit drooled looking at those saint herbs.

The saint herbs here were all rare varieties in the Immortal Realm.

Of course, there were also various immortal herbs; although not many, there were quite a few.

It was just that exchanging for immortal herbs required a massive amount of merit points; those who weren't old people who had been killing enemies at the border for a long time couldn't gather them at all.

In addition, Within Jun Xiaoyao also saw Quasi-Emperor weapons, each with a shockingly high merit point cost.

Within Jun Xiaoyao even felt a faint Emperor's prestige.

That was the pressure coming from the core of the Merit Hall.

"Emperor weapon?" Within Jun Xiaoyao was a bit surprised.

Didn't expect that even rare Emperor weapons could be exchanged.

If Within Jun Xiaoyao wanted to, he could exchange for an Emperor weapon right now.

But to tell the truth, an Emperor weapon was not what Within Jun Xiaoyao needed most right now.

He was the Lord of the Jun Imperial Court.

The Jun Imperial Court alone had more than one Emperor weapon.

In the Desolate Ancient Saint Hall, he had also obtained the Emperor weapon Desolate God Armor, but later temporarily handed it over to the Saint Body Wu Hu for safekeeping.

And inside Within Jun Xiaoyao's brow, there was also a protective Emperor weapon, the Luangu Emperor Talisman.

So Within Jun Xiaoyao really didn't have much need for an Emperor weapon.

And with his current cultivation base, he couldn't fully unleash the power of an Emperor weapon either.

As for the Quasi-Emperor weapons below that, Within Jun Xiaoyao still had the Great Desolate Halberd.

And a Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron that was qualified to advance into an immortal artifact.

So rather than exchanging for an Emperor weapon that had no great use for him right now.

It was better to exchange for other useful things.

"There are too many treasures here, don't know how long it would take to look at them one by one, might as well..."

Within Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and directly began to urge his Primordial Spirit power.

Boom!

The terrifying Primordial Spirit power spread out like a tide.

That vigorous Primordial Spirit power made the cultivators in the Merit Hall extremely astonished, and they turned their heads one after another.

"Such powerful Primordial Spirit power, Boundless level!"

Many cultivators looked at Within Jun Xiaoyao, somewhat dumbfounded.
