Chapter 1048 1048 Heading to the Distant Continent
Jun Xiaoyao felt as though he had been struck by a curse.
Every time someone forcibly kissed him, he was always the one on the receiving end.
It was rare for him to ever take the initiative.
Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli had been the same way back then.
Perhaps, this was just fate.
The brief, fleeting kiss came to an end.
Luo Xiangling's pretty cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes glistening like pearls, dewy and bright.
She didn't quite know what had come over her to have such an impulse.
Because it was her first time, she had only lightly brushed against him, a little clumsy.
Jun Xiaoyao was grateful that Luo Xiangling had only kissed him rather than pushed him down.
Otherwise he truly wouldn't have been able to resist.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind it too much.
For a man, taking a small loss like this was perfectly acceptable.
At the very least, Luo Xiangling could be considered won over.
This powerful ally, he had secured firmly.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Luo Xiangling's gaze dropped low, and she didn't quite dare to meet Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, had calmed down, and said, "Xiangling, I will find a way to help your cultivation advance further."
"But, the Unspeakable Land is far too dangerous..." Luo Xiangling raised her eyes, filled with deep concern.
It could be said to be the most mysterious place in the Alien Domain.
Even she had never set foot there.
The most powerful, most mysterious, and most ancient ultimate imperial clan in the Alien Domain also resided within it.
Even the so-called most mysterious ultimate calamity of the Alien Domain was located in the Unspeakable Land.
She did not want Jun Xiaoyao to go and take that risk.
"This is something I must do." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
If Luo Xiangling could truly break through to Immortal King, it would be an enormous asset to Jun Xiaoyao.
After that, he and Luo Xiangling spent another month or so together.
Nothing discordant happened between them.
Then, Jun Xiaoyao departed.
Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao found himself thinking about the Chaos Body that had awakened Luo Xiangling's spiritual intelligence.
He had a vague feeling that this Chaos Body had not perished.
By all reasoning, any Chaos Body should have been quite famous in the Immortal Domain.
Yet no one fitting that description came to mind.
That left only one possibility.
That Chaos Body belonged to some reclusive faction in the Immortal Domain, their identity and whereabouts completely concealed.
He couldn't help but think of that Chaos Body seed in the Immortal Domain who had yet to break their seal to this day.
Could there be some connection between them?
Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts branched out in many directions.
Afterward, he found Xuanyue.
The two of them quietly slipped away from the War God Academy together.
This time, Jun Xiaoyao brought only Xuanyue, without alerting anyone.
Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao also asked Xuanyue about some matters concerning the Bianhua clan.
Xuanyue told him everything she knew, holding nothing back.
However, she had never truly been to the Bianhua imperial clan herself, and did not know what the situation was like inside.
Before all this, she had only been an undercover assassin for the Bianhua organization.
And the Bianhua organization was merely one branch of power under the Bianhua imperial clan.
Strictly speaking, it should be called a vassal, much like the Blue Bianhua lineage.
"The Bianhua clan is truly mysterious." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
Now, even in the Alien Domain, there was nothing he needed to be wary of.
Unless he provoked an ultimate imperial clan, even an immortal imperial clan was something he could face with composure.
The Bianhua clan was located in Bianhua Continent.
The entire continent was named after this clan, which spoke to how dominant they were.
However, this clan was also extremely few in number, and it was rare to encounter them in the outside world.
The beings of the Blue Bianhua lineage were actually more numerous by comparison.
A month later, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at Bianhua Continent.
He then headed directly for the ancestral grounds of the Bianhua clan.
Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly halted, his gaze turning cold as he looked ahead.
A woman wearing a ghost-face mask, her figure graceful and alluring, silently materialized before them.
"Hua Lian..." Xuanyue's gaze sharpened.
Back then, in the underground fighting arena, when Xuanyue had been on the verge of despair, it was Hua Lian who had appeared and given her a hollow hope.
Looking back on it now, Hua Lian had deceived her.
Yet, if not for Hua Lian, she might not have held on until now and would have lost her mind.
And she never would have met Jun Xiaoyao, or experienced everything that followed.
So toward Hua Lian, Xuanyue's feelings were complicated.
"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"The renowned War God truly lives up to his name. This one must thank you, my lord." Hua Lian said with a smile.
"Oh?"
"That Bianhua Prince was indeed rather irritating. And besides, thank you for saving Xuanyue."
"She is the sharpest blade of our Bianhua organization, and this one has no wish to see anything happen to her." Hua Lian said earnestly.
"So you deceived me?" Xuanyue suddenly spoke.
"It was not deception. There was a genuine possibility you could have drawn back your brother's soul, however slim that chance may have been."
One in a billion was still a possibility, so Hua Lian did not consider it deception.
Xuanyue said nothing more.
She had already made her peace with it.
Her brother had been an ordinary minor cultivator. Even leaving behind the faintest trace in this world was difficult for someone like him.
Let alone drawing back his soul.
"Are you heading to the Bianhua imperial clan?" Hua Lian changed the subject.
"That's right." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Our Bianhua organization would naturally not dare to block my lord's path. However, I fear the Blue Bianhua lineage may make things difficult for you." Hua Lian said.
"It doesn't matter. If they dare to obstruct me, they will pay the price."
Jun Xiaoyao was completely unconcerned.
"Worthy of the War God indeed. Then this one takes her leave." Hua Lian smiled faintly, and her figure vanished.
Jun Xiaoyao led Xuanyue onward.
Just a few days passed.
Ahead, a vast expanse of blue bianhua flowers suddenly appeared.
Azure as the sea, breathtakingly beautiful, with an almost bewitching quality that could draw anyone in at a single glance.
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, sensing a faint ripple of formation energy.
"The ancestral vein of the Bianhua clan lies deep in the core of Bianhua Continent, while the Blue Bianhua lineage's stronghold is on the outer edges. It seems they want to block my path and give me a show of force."
Jun Xiaoyao's divine sense stirred.
With a perfected Three-Life Divine Soul, his perception was extraordinarily keen.
He immediately detected several presences lurking in the shadows.
The people of the Blue Bianhua lineage were no fools. They knew Jun Xiaoyao was not someone to be trifled with.
So they had directly deployed their clan's grand formation.
It was a maze formation, capable of trapping even a Supreme-level figure.
Clearly, they intended to trip Jun Xiaoyao up.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained cold as he led Xuanyue and stepped straight inside.
In the shadows, a group of people watched.
At their head was a middle-aged man.
He was a minor Heavenly Sovereign, and a blood relative of the Bianhua Prince's lineage.
The Bianhua Prince had fallen at Jun Xiaoyao's hands, so those of his lineage were naturally displeased.
And so this man had taken it upon himself to give Jun Xiaoyao a show of force.
Of course, actually killing Jun Xiaoyao was out of the question.
He wanted to, but the consequences were not something he could bear.
Not even the entire Blue Bianhua lineage could bear them.
Around him stood several of the Bianhua Prince's lineage's most talented prodigies, each one waiting to enjoy the spectacle.
"We must avenge the Bianhua Prince." A woman in a blue dress stared fixedly at Jun Xiaoyao within the maze formation.
She was the Bianhua Prince's childhood sweetheart.
Yet what left this entire group dumbfounded was that Jun Xiaoyao entered the formation as though walking through open air.
Any maze formation was rendered utterly useless before a perfected Three-Life Divine Soul.
Jun Xiaoyao's divine soul power flowed freely, and every illusion was nothing but decoration.
In the next instant, Jun Xiaoyao took a step and simply vanished.
"What's going on." The middle-aged man hadn't even had time to react.
Boom!
The void above them suddenly split open.
A white-robed figure, divine as a god, stepped out and brought a palm crashing down toward the middle-aged man.
"You insolent wretch, how dare you!" The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then roared in fury.
He was a minor Heavenly Sovereign.
And Jun Xiaoyao actually dared to strike at him!
