SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1011 - 1011 Chi Hongyu Exits Seclusion

All of this was nothing more than a scheme Jun Xiaoyao had come up with on the spot.

When he had visited the War God Academy before,he had already taken notice of this foreign dragon vein.

Back then,he had already made up his mind to find a way to absorb the dragon vein into his inner universe.

Not only would it benefit himself.

It would also deprive the foreign realm of one dragon vein,one less means of cultivating geniuses.

Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

But obtaining the dragon vein was obviously not going to be that simple.

First,he needed to demonstrate his own value.

Jun Xiaoyao's performance at the borderlands had already been nothing short of miraculous,more than enough to prove his worth.

Second,he needed to be in a crisis himself,to have a justifiable reason to receive the dragon vein.

It was precisely for this reason that Jun Xiaoyao chose to take the full brunt of the Northern Dipper Emperor's strike on his own.

So that he would suffer severe injuries.

In truth,there was an element of gambling in what Jun Xiaoyao did.

After all,not just anyone would dare face an Emperor's strike head-on.

One moment of carelessness and he really could have died,with no remedy for regret.

Fortunately,Jun Xiaoyao had condensed his Fleshly Dao,bringing his physical body's toughness to an entirely new level.

That was the only reason he could barely withstand the strike.

Of course,calling it taking an Emperor's strike was one thing.

In reality,it was a strike that had been weakened many times over.

After all,ninety-nine percent of the force had been blocked by the War God Academy's Divine Turtle King.

"No wonder everyone wants to prove their Dao and become an Emperor. The way an Emperor can turn the world upside down with a wave of their hand is truly something to aspire to."

Jun Xiaoyao thought quietly to himself.

But as far as he was concerned,becoming an Emperor was inevitable.

And it was not even the final destination.

"The dragon vein has been obtained. Now it's time to recover from my injuries."

"And Luo Xiangling — if she hadn't fought so hard on my behalf,I might not have obtained the dragon vein so quickly."

Luo Xiangling had indeed helped Jun Xiaoyao a great deal.

If the opportunity arose in the future,Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't mind fully winning Luo Xiangling over to his side.

……

In the time that followed,Jun Xiaoyao focused entirely on nursing his injuries.

In truth,with his naturally powerful fleshly body and blood qi,combined with techniques like the Divine Immortality Art,

Jun Xiaoyao could have made a full recovery very quickly.

But to avoid suspicion,he chose to recover at a slower pace.

In addition,Luo Xiangling stayed by his side the entire time,tending to him.

To be waited upon by such a beauty was a level of treatment most people could never dream of.

After all,who could claim the privilege of having a quasi-immortal-level powerhouse serve them?

That was simply impossible,the stuff of fantasy.

Even an Emperor-level powerhouse couldn't easily make a quasi-Emperor submit and serve them like a servant.

Perhaps in the face of love,even the strongest woman is still just a woman.

And during this period of time,

the entire foreign realm was buzzing with news about Jun Xiaoyao.

Someone who could shake the immortal realm and be revered by countless people,

was now also basking in the admiration and reverence of ten thousand eyes in the foreign realm.

Throughout all of history,Jun Xiaoyao was probably the only one who could achieve such a thing.

And just as the entire foreign realm was in a frenzy over Jun Xiaoyao's deeds,

in the Yaoman Great Province,one of the ten great provinces of the foreign realm,

a major piece of news broke.

The grand marriage selection event for the five princesses of the Tushan Imperial Clan was about to be held.

The news immediately swept across all ten great provinces.

There had been rumors before,but no date had been set.

Now it was fully confirmed — it would be held three months from now.

This was undoubtedly a major announcement,sending many young beings of the foreign realm into a frenzy of excitement and eagerness.

What's more,this time it wasn't just one beauty.

It was a full five of them.

That was five times the joy.

Of course,many people also knew their own limits. The five princesses of the Tushan Imperial Clan were of incomparably noble status,with standards that were extraordinarily high.

Never mind winning the favor of all five.

Getting even one of them to spare a second glance would already mark someone as a one-in-ten-thousand dragon among men.

As for being chosen by all five at once?

No such person probably existed in the foreign realm.

Because saying so out loud was asking to get beaten.

As the news spread,many geniuses began making preparations.

At a marriage selection event of this caliber,geniuses below the royal clan level didn't even have the qualifications to participate.

Even royal clan geniuses were really only there to watch the spectacle.

After all,how could an imperial clan princess so easily take a liking to a royal clan genius?

Only geniuses from the top royal clans and above had any standing to compete for their favor.

"Hey,do you think the War God will go to the marriage selection event?"

"I've heard that two of the Tushan Imperial Clan's princesses,Tushan Wanwan and Tushan Chunchun,have been pretty close to the War God."

"With the War God's talent and strength,marrying one princess would be more than enough."

"Do you think all five might…"

"That's absolutely impossible,not even the War God could pull that off."

"Let's not even talk about the other princesses and how picky they are — even the Tushan Imperial Clan itself wouldn't agree so easily,would they?"

Many people were also discussing Jun Xiaoyao.

After all,Tushan Wanwan and Tushan Chunchun had indeed been quite close to Jun Xiaoyao before.

"Now that would be interesting — there are quite a few geniuses with their eyes on the Tushan Five Beauties,like the Chixiao Clan."

"That Chi Hongyu is quite persistent. He didn't have the standing to pursue an imperial clan princess before,but now he's made a sudden leap to the top."

"It's all thanks to the old ancestor of their clan. Otherwise,how could that ever happen?"

"This marriage selection event is definitely going to be very entertaining."

Many geniuses were looking forward to it. Even knowing they had no chance of winning the favor of the Tushan Five Beauties,going to watch the excitement was still worthwhile.

The Yaoman Great Province.

As the name suggested,it was a place inhabited by many demon and savage clans.

Besides the Tushan Imperial Clan,many other races also lived here.

Clans such as the Wicked Dragon lineage and the Fallen Demon Phoenix Clan all made their home here.

Beyond those,there was one more clan.

The Chixiao Clan.

Previously,the Chixiao Clan was merely one of the ten top royal clans.

But because the old ancestor of their clan,the Chixiao King,had broken through to become an Immortal King,

the entire clan rose in status,becoming a quasi-imperial clan.

Their standing and reputation soared overnight.

And because the Chixiao King had once fought against Jun Wuhui,the White-Robed Divine King of the Jun family who guarded the immortal realm's border,

the clan's fame surged even further,quietly rivaling some imperial clans.

Today,the Chixiao Clan held considerable status and presence in the Yaoman Great Province.

At this moment,deep within the ancestral grounds of the Chixiao Clan,

a tall and striking young man clad in crimson-gold armor,with scarlet wings on his back and a head of red hair blazing like flames,stepped out slowly.

Flames swirled around his body,condensing into various crimson shapes resembling demonic birds like crows.

This was his true form — the Chixiao Bird,an ominous bird born from the flames of disaster.

And he was one of the leading figures among the younger generation of the Chixiao Clan — Chi Hongyu.

His younger brother was Chi Lingkong,who had been slain by Jun Xiaoyao in the Divine Ruins World.

Previously,Chi Hongyu had been in seclusion,having become the last disciple of the Chixiao King and undergoing rigorous training.

Now he had emerged from seclusion,his cultivation having reached the Supreme Realm.

Among quasi-imperial clans,a young genius at the Supreme Realm was an extremely rare sight.

This alone spoke to Chi Hongyu's talent,as well as the importance the Chixiao King placed on him.

"The marriage selection event has begun."

Chi Hongyu stood with his hands behind his back,gazing into the distance.

It was upon hearing this news that he had ended his seclusion.

"I have gained profound insight into the Soul Scripture,mastered the ancestral arts,reached the Supreme Realm in cultivation,and have an Immortal King as my master and backer."

"Now,am I qualified to seek a marriage proposal?"

Chi Hongyu murmured to himself,a cold and sharp gleam in his eyes.

Once,he had gone to the Tushan Imperial Clan to propose,only to be met with humiliation.

Back then,his strength was insufficient,and his backing was merely a top royal clan.

When he went to propose,he hadn't even gotten to see the faces of the five princesses before being turned away at the door.

That could be said to be a permanent mark of shame in Chi Hongyu's heart.

But now,he had undergone a fundamental transformation,and had the Chixiao King as both master and backer.

Even immortal imperial clans would treat an Immortal King with great courtesy,not daring to easily offend or provoke one.

Chi Hongyu's confidence was full.

"Tushan Five Beauties,you once couldn't be bothered to give me the time of day. Now,at this marriage selection event,I will sweep aside all rivals and completely conquer you!"
