Among the Seven Inexplicables is the legend of the Bronze Immortal Palace; this fragment may have come from it,” Jun Zhantian said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Bronze Immortal Palace?” Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bronze Immortal Palace was one of the Seven Inexplicables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely strange and inauspicious immortal palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though called an immortal palace, to many it was indistinguishable from a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight or nine out of ten powerful figures who entered perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the reason this Bronze Immortal Palace drew so many was the rumor that it contained relics tied to the Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything connected to the Immortals was enough to make every cultivator flock to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout history, countless young Supremes, regional lords, and Saint-level experts entered the Bronze Immortal Palace, seeking the secrets of the Immortals and their blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the vast majority perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the few who escaped remained silent, refusing to speak of what lay within, as if fearing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that the Bronze Immortal Palace was listed among the Seven Inexplicables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhantian spoke solemnly to Jun Xiaoyao: “Xiaoyao, your talent is unparalleled; even without risking yourself, you will one day become a Saint, even a Sovereign. Do not let curiosity lead you into danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao was the jewel of the Jun Clan, its most core existence—he must not suffer any mishap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jun Xiaoyao were to seek the Bronze Immortal Palace because of this bronze fragment, Jun Zhantian would never permit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, Grandfather, no need to be so tense. I was just asking out of curiosity—I didn’t realize this fragment had such origins,” Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a mechanical voice echoed again in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding! Congratulations, Host! A new check-in location has refreshed: Check in at the Bronze Immortal Palace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the system trying to set a trap for him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could anyone just walk into the Bronze Immortal Palace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But honestly, his curiosity had been stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly reviewed his current check-in locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panwu Tomb, the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, and the Bronze Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Palace was the easiest—he could check in soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panwu Tomb required some effort, but was still manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bronze Immortal Palace? There was not even a trace of it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew where it would appear next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jun Xiaoyao was in no rush—he had ample time to strengthen himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the explanation, Grandfather. I have matters to attend to—I’ll take my leave,” Jun Xiaoyao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoyao, remember: never investigate the Seven Inexplicables alone. At the very least, tell me first,” Jun Zhantian warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Jun Xiaoyao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jun Xiaoyao stepped out of Mount Junjia’s gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, four tightly packed formations hovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain—each guard ten thousand strong, totaling forty thousand, fully armed and ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Shadow Guard wore blue battle armor and wielded curved sabers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Guard wore golden battle armor and carried long halberds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Cavalry wore crimson battle armor, rode blazing divine steeds, and held long spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain God Guard wore black heavy armor, wielding massive shields and battle axes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Divine Guards all radiated majestic aura and burning battle spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao glanced at them and was thoroughly satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain—forty thousand strong—are fully prepared!” Jun Linglong presented the Divine Son Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao took the token, nodded coolly, and said: “Good. I entrust this mission to you all as we head to the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Four Divine Guards all bowed to Jun Xiaoyao, kneeling in unison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Shadow Guard, we vow to die for the Jun Clan, for the Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imperial Guard, we vow to die for the Jun Clan, for the Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Cavalry, we vow to die for the Jun Clan, for the Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mountain God Guard, we vow to die for the Jun Clan, for the Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Divine Guards roared in unison, their voices swallowing ten thousand miles like tigers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cries shook the nine heavens, shattering the clouds above!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! With you all, what cannot be accomplished?” Jun Xiaoyao felt his blood begin to boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What man has not dreamed of commanding legions and contending for dominion over heaven and earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto a golden war chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine-headed lions pulled the chariot into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Wanjie, and Jun Linglong each led one of the Four Guards, following closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire procession surged across the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All major sects and cultivators along the way looked up in shock and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that… the Jun Clan’s Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain? Where are they headed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one knows. The Jun Clan hasn’t mobilized its army in ages—is this to crush a rebellion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, isn’t that the lead beast pulling the chariot… a top-tier Ancient Royal Clan, the Nine-Headed Lion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gah! The figure standing on the golden chariot—is that the Jun Clan’s Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators, upon seeing the transcendent figure standing with hands behind his back, gasped in fear, their scalps prickling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could possibly compel the Jun Clan’s Divine Son to lead an army into battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators exchanged glances, each understanding the other’s unspoken thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemies of the Jun Clan’s Divine Son… were in for ruin…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jun Xiaoyao led the Four Guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain toward Huozhou,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the three-nation alliance, led by the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, had already penetrated deep into the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s heartland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every city along the way offered no resistance and was instantly crushed by the allied armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer understood that with the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s current strength, holding the entire realm was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only option was to concentrate forces and make a final stand beyond the imperial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly ten days, the three ancient kingdoms’ alliance finally reached the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s imperial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, outside the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s imperial capital,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>banners fluttered violently in the wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred thousand soldiers of the Vermilion Ancient Kingdom stood guard like an iron wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer had shed her usual demeanor, clad in crimson soft armor that accentuated her curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fiery red hair was tied back, revealing both allure and martial grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around her stood Vermilion Ancient Kingdom’s generals, their gazes solemn, tinged with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid this suffocating atmosphere,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the earth suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!
