SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1023 - 1023 The Bride-Seeking Gathering

"After the five royal bloodlines merge, I think we should change the name."

"The Fate Alliance no longer fits. Let's call it the Fate Divine Sect."

"The God of Fate and Creation will bestow blessings upon you all. He is watching over you."

Jun Xiaoyao really had a way with words when it came to bluffing people.

"The Fate Divine Sect…" Tuoba Yu murmured to himself, his gaze resolute.

"We will never disappoint the Divine Envoy!"

Tuoba Yu and countless members of the slave race responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded with great satisfaction.

After the Jun Emperor Court, Jun Xiaoyao had today established his second faction of his own.

The Fate Divine Sect.

As it happened, Jun Xiaoyao himself was also a Fate Void cultivator.

It was quite a fitting match for the Fate Divine Sect.

Though for now, the Fate Divine Sect was pitifully weak, without even a single top-tier expert.

Nothing like the Jun Emperor Court, which had Xuan Venerables and Divine Venerables joining from the very moment of its founding.

But Jun Xiaoyao was confident that the Fate Divine Sect would one day grow into a colossal power.

Because religion, more often than not, draws people in far more effectively than an ordinary faction.

Perhaps even Jun Xiaoyao himself could never have imagined it.

This Fate Divine Sect, built for the convenient purpose of harvesting faith.

Would one day become a supreme great sect that swept across all the heavens and myriad realms, worshipped by countless billions of living beings!

But of course, that was a story for another time.

After everything was settled, Jun Xiaoyao made a few brief arrangements and then left directly.

From here on, he would let Tuoba Yu and the others develop their congregation on their own.

Among certain royal clans, they could also begin spreading the faith.

Jun Xiaoyao could already feel the power of faith within his inner universe surging at every moment.

It was hard to imagine what kind of existence the seed of faith would eventually give birth to.

In any case, Jun Xiaoyao felt it would not disappoint him.

"A willow grows where none was planted. I hope this Fate Divine Sect will bring me even more surprises in the future." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao was in no hurry to travel, and instead strolled across the foreign lands together with Luo Xiangling.

Having used Luo Xiangling as a tool this time around, it was only natural to make it up to her.

Jun Xiaoyao was also contemplating the Devour Laws he had stripped from the body of the God-Devouring Emperor's Son.

His intention was not to make the God-Devouring Emperor's Son's laws his own.

Rather, he sought to deconstruct, analyze, and comprehend them, so as to condense a law that truly belonged to himself.

As for the little divine demon ant, after refining the body of the God-Devouring Worm, it returned to Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe and began its transformation.

Within the span of just one month, Jun Xiaoyao and Luo Xiangling traveled across mountains and rivers.

During this time, the power of laws once again permeated through Jun Xiaoyao's body.

Within him, the power of laws fused together with the devouring immortal energy.

A brand new and complete law emerged.

Dark and deep, as if embodying the supreme mystery of an unparalleled devouring force.

The Devour Law had condensed into form!

This was the second law Jun Xiaoyao had condensed, following the Fleshly Body Law.

Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly, and he felt his own strength rise once again.

Though he had not broken through to a new realm, he was far stronger than before.

Not only that, the Devour Law made Jun Xiaoyao's God-Devouring Demon Art even more powerful, and also integrated the God-Devouring Worm's great devouring divine ability.

All in all, this trip had been a tremendous windfall for Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hm, Xiaoyao, you…" Luo Xiangling sensed the subtle shift in Jun Xiaoyao's aura.

"Just a small gain." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Luo Xiangling gave Jun Xiaoyao a long, deep look.

"It seems you still have many secrets."

"Who doesn't? Xiangling, if you want to know, I can tell you." Jun Xiaoyao looked at Luo Xiangling.

If she were to learn his true identity, what would her reaction be?

Yet Luo Xiangling, like a willful young girl, shook her head with a touch of caprice.

"No. I want you to tell me of your own accord, not because I forced you to."

Jun Xiaoyao had never pressed her about her past, so how could she force him?

"Xiangling, you really are so understanding." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

This beautiful older woman was genuinely quite endearing at times.

"W-what are you talking about?" Luo Xiangling turned her face away.

Her cheeks, however, were faintly flushed with warmth.

She was clearly no longer a young girl in age.

Yet she always found herself blushing and her heart racing whenever she was teased.

After another month or so, Jun Xiaoyao and Luo Xiangling leisurely made their way back to the Minghe Continent.

Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao also heard that the courtship grand event at Tushan in the Yaoman Continent was about to begin.

It was time for Jun Xiaoyao to go to Tushan for his check-in.

"Xiangling, aren't you coming?"

Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"I'll pass. It's a courtship event — what would I, a woman, go there for?" Luo Xiangling shook her head gently.

Going would only mean watching and feeling jealous.

Better to keep it out of sight and out of mind.

Besides, she had spent a long time with Jun Xiaoyao by now and understood his character well.

Beauty held no particular allure for him.

"Alright then."

Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod, exchanged a few parting words, and then departed.

He was quite curious what good things he might check in for at the courtship event.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao's departing figure, Luo Xiangling stood still for a brief moment.

Then she bit her cherry lips with her pearly teeth.

"Idiot, I don't want you to go."

Words like these were something Luo Xiangling could never bring herself to say no matter what.

And certainly not to Jun Xiaoyao's face.

So carrying a faint trace of quiet grievance, she turned and made her way back to the War God Academy.

……

The Yaoman Continent, one of the ten great continents of the foreign lands.

A paradise for the demon race, a haven for fierce beasts.

Among the ten great continents, it was considered one of the more savage and untamed places.

But recently, it had become the focal point of the foreign lands.

The Tushan Five Beauties, whose fame had spread far and wide across the foreign lands, were about to hold a courtship grand event.

It drew countless geniuses and outstanding figures from all directions to gather.

This was, after all, a courtship event hosted by an immortal emperor clan.

If one could form a union with one of the Tushan Five Beauties, that would mean having an imperial clan as a backer.

It was essentially marrying into a powerful family.

Even those of comparable standing — quasi-emperor clans and emperor clans alike — would effectively be gaining an imperial clan ally.

So the courtship event held tremendous appeal for all male geniuses.

Within the Yaoman Continent, there was a region known as Tushan.

This was the stronghold of the Tushan lineage, an immortal emperor clan of the foreign lands.

At this moment, within the bounds of Tushan, lanterns and banners adorned every corner, and the atmosphere was jubilant.

Geniuses from all manner of clans had gathered at Tushan, eagerly awaiting what was to come.

Even those with no chance of being chosen.

Just catching a glimpse of the Tushan Five Beauties' grace would make the trip worthwhile.

Suddenly, a surge of radiance rippled through the void.

A lion white as jade pulled a magnificent imperial carriage forward.

"That's — the Moonlit Jade Lion!" A foreign realm being spotted it and couldn't help but cry out in astonishment.

This was a rare exotic bloodline, possessing tremendous power in its own right, on par with a genius of a quasi-emperor clan.

And yet here it was, pulling a carriage.

"That's the imperial carriage of the Emperor's Son from the Anlan Emperor Clan!"

On another side, seeds of the Pumo drifted through the void like snowflakes.

A woman in a long green dress appeared — it was none other than the Pukui Celestial Maiden.

"Another one of the Seven Little Emperors has appeared!"

The arrival of several major figures among the foreign realm's geniuses stirred wave after wave of commotion.

These were all figures rarely seen on ordinary days.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out, sharp enough to split gold and crack stone.

Nine-headed golden-crowned eagles came pulling a carriage forward.

Within it sat a man clad in crimson gold armor, with scarlet wings spread at his back, his bearing heroic and imposing.

His expression was cool and detached, radiating an air of absolute confidence.

"It's Chi Hongyu — he really came!"

Countless gazes converged on him.

The news of Chi Hongyu's failed courtship attempt at Tushan had previously spread far and wide.

Now, with the entire Chi Xiao clan having ascended, and Chi Hongyu having become a disciple of the Chi Xiao King, his status and standing were entirely different.

Could this transformed Chi Hongyu pull off an underdog reversal and win the beauty's heart?

Many were curious to find out.
