SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1117 - 1117 Daji's Request

"Prince Fufeng, it's been a while."

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm as he looked at Prince Fufeng.

Times change.

Who could have imagined things would come to this.

But Jun Xiaoyao now understood.

So Jun Wuhui had been hiding in the War God Academy all along.

Watching him from the shadows.

And everything Prince Fufeng had done was clearly seen by Jun Wuhui as well.

Which is why he had suppressed him.

"By the way, Father, the Divine Turtle King at the War God Academy is..." Jun Xiaoyao asked curiously.

He finally understood now why the Divine Turtle King had taken such good care of him.

It turned out Jun Wuhui had been pulling the strings all along.

"The Divine Turtle King was once trapped in a forbidden land and was rescued by our ancestor, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor. He then went into hiding in the foreign realm." Jun Wuhui said.

"So he's someone from the same era as our ancestor." Jun Xiaoyao realized.

But the Divine Turtle King's seniority spoke for itself.

Even in the foreign realm, he was an ancient relic, an existence like a living fossil.

"I have already placed a restriction inside his body. You can activate it with the Jun family bloodline to control his life and death."

"Although he is only a quasi-immortal, he would make a fine mount." Jun Wuhui said.

Hearing this, Prince Fufeng's heart convulsed.

A dignified quasi-immortal, forced to serve as a mount against his will.

And on top of that, to become the mount of Jun Xiaoyao, someone he had once regarded as an ant.

Who could accept that?

But would resistance do any good?

In the end, it would only lead to death.

For Jun Wuhui and Jun Xiaoyao, there would be no loss whatsoever, at most one fewer mount.

But he would lose his life.

Prince Fufeng was pragmatic, and he knew when to back down.

He valued his life dearly and had no wish to die here.

"Do you still harbor improper thoughts about Xiangling now?"

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Prince Fufeng with an amused tone.

"I dare not."

Prince Fufeng lowered his head.

Though he was a quasi-immortal, in the presence of Jun Xiaoyao, who could slay the Ultimate Calamity, he had not a shred of courage to resist.

"Your life and death rest on a single thought of mine. Behave yourself, and you may yet live." Jun Xiaoyao's tone was indifferent.

"Yes." Prince Fufeng submitted completely.

Jun Wuhui then produced a jade slip and handed it to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Father, this is..." Jun Xiaoyao looked at the jade slip.

"This is the technique of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities. Consider it a gift from me." Jun Wuhui said.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression shifted.

One Qi Transforming into Three Purities could split into three bodies.

Most importantly, each body would possess strength no weaker than the main body.

How utterly heaven-defying was that?

It meant this technique was absolutely a supreme secret art.

Even within the Jun family, very few could master it.

Yet Jun Wuhui handed it over without a moment's hesitation.

"Thank you, Father."

Jun Xiaoyao accepted it.

"We are father and son, no need for thanks." Jun Wuhui said with a smile.

"By the way, Father, part of the reason you came to the foreign realm must have been for the Immortal Slaying Sword as well."

Jun Xiaoyao summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword and handed it to Jun Wuhui.

The Immortal Slaying Sword was a divine artifact of the Jun family.

Even in Jun Xiaoyao's hands, with his current level of strength, he could not unleash its full power.

It was better to give it to Jun Wuhui.

Jun Wuhui accepted it without ceremony.

"Indeed, I have need of the Immortal Slaying Sword for the time being."

"But rest assured, once you have grown strong enough to wield a divine artifact's power, I will gather all four Immortal Slaying Swords and give them to you." Jun Wuhui said.

A gleam flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

Just as he had suspected.

The Four Immortal Slaying Swords.

The Immortal Slaying Sword was only one of them.

The depth of the Jun family's foundation was truly unfathomable.

Though from the way Jun Wuhui spoke, it seemed the other three swords were not currently in the Jun family's possession either.

"Alright, now that the Ultimate Calamity has been destroyed, your identity has been exposed. You should return to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible." Jun Wuhui said.

Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod, then looked toward the Other Shore Flower Matriarch nearby.

"Thank you."

Jun Xiaoyao said sincerely.

"You should be thanking that person." The Other Shore Flower Matriarch's peerlessly beautiful face was calm, her tone as cool as ever.

There was a faint hint of queenly aloofness in it.

"Senior fought alongside us against the Calamity. If you continue to remain in the foreign realm, you will surely be targeted." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Hearing this, the Other Shore Flower Matriarch fell silent.

Indeed.

She had long anticipated this.

It was the price she had to pay for saving Jun Xiaoyao.

"I wonder if Senior would be willing to move your entire clan into the Immortal Realm. With my Jun family there, no one would dare target the Other Shore clan." Jun Xiaoyao extended a sincere invitation.

The Other Shore Flower Matriarch's strength was unfathomable. If she could be brought in, she would absolutely be a supreme combat force.

Besides, the Other Shore clan had always been small in number, so relocating the entire clan would not be too difficult.

"I hold your kindness in deep regard, friend. Should you come to the Immortal Realm, the Jun family will protect the Other Shore clan." Jun Wuhui also spoke up.

"Very well."

The Other Shore Flower Matriarch sighed.

Although the Other Shore clan was an immortal emperor clan of the foreign realm, in truth, they had never been deeply tied to it.

After the Other Shore Flower Matriarch agreed, Jun Xiaoyao felt a weight lift from his shoulders.

If the Other Shore clan allied with the Jun Emperor Court, the court's strength would surely skyrocket.

Not to say it could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jun family.

But it would at least far surpass an ordinary immortal power.

Just then, an immortal aura swept in from the distant sky.

It was none other than the Divine Turtle King and the Nine-Tailed King.

The few immortal kings they had been fighting, upon seeing the Ultimate Calamity fall, had long since fled.

"My lord and the young master are truly admirable."

The Divine Turtle King sighed with deep feeling.

Before, in his heart, only his benefactor Jun Qitian had been the greatest hero of all ages.

Now, the performances of Jun Wuhui and Jun Xiaoyao had equally left him in awe and admiration.

On the other side, Nine-Tailed King Daji's graceful figure was bathed in radiant light, nine soft snow-white fox tails swaying behind her.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, exuding unparalleled allure, her bearing utterly captivating.

"Jun Xiaoyao, your identity and strength have truly exceeded my expectations."

Daji did not address Jun Xiaoyao as "little friend" or "little one."

Someone who could suppress and slay the Ultimate Calamity, even through means such as a divine avatar, was more than worthy of being regarded as an equal by an immortal king.

"I did conceal my identity earlier, and I hope Senior Daji will not take offense. I also thank you for keeping your promise this time."

Jun Xiaoyao gave Daji a slight bow.

That Daji had honored her promise and taken action had already exceeded his expectations.

"I did not do it for you, but for a promise. We of the Tushan Emperor Clan never go back on our word." Daji laughed lightly.

"Then does Senior also have any plans to visit the Immortal Realm?"

Jun Xiaoyao extended another invitation.

However, Daji gently shook her head and said, "My clan will pass. Though I helped you once, it was only to repay a debt."

"Now that the Calamity is gone, no emperor clan would bother making a move against my Tushan Emperor Clan. It simply isn't worth the trouble."

Daji declined.

But thinking about it, that made sense.

Daji and the Other Shore Flower Matriarch were fundamentally different.

The Other Shore Flower Matriarch had stood entirely on Jun Xiaoyao's side.

She would naturally face retaliation from the foreign realm's emperor clans afterward.

Daji, on the other hand, had only acted to fulfill a promise, and at least had a proper justification for doing so.

"That is a shame." Jun Xiaoyao sighed softly.

"Indeed, and those five little ones of my clan, I wonder what will become of them, seeing as you've already shared a bridal chamber with all of them." Daji said with a half-smile.

"Ahem..."

Jun Xiaoyao gave a dry cough, feeling a little awkward.

To the five beauties of Tushan, all he could say was sorry.

Daji suddenly turned serious. "Jun Xiaoyao, there is one thing I wonder if you can promise me."

"Please speak, Senior." Jun Xiaoyao said.

An immortal king making a request of him was something Jun Xiaoyao had not expected.

"If, and I mean if, you one day truly sweep through our realm, I hope you will spare the Tushan Emperor Clan." Daji's tone was very earnest.

Jun Xiaoyao was simply the most monstrous existence she had ever encountered.

An anomaly beyond words.

If anyone else claimed they could destroy the foreign realm, Daji would have scoffed.

But when it came to Jun Xiaoyao, she thought it might actually be possible.

Jun Xiaoyao heard this and shook his head with a smile. "Senior jests. Between me and the Tushan Emperor Clan, there is a bond of goodwill, and I consider the five beauties of Tushan all friends."

"No matter what happens in the future, the Tushan Emperor Clan will always be safe."

"Well then, thank you."

Nine-Tailed King Daji's peerlessly alluring face broke into a city-toppling smile, flickering in and out of the radiant light.

She turned and stepped in front of Jun Xiaoyao, then reached out her slender hand and touched his face.

Then she turned away, tore open space, and departed.

Leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells, and these words.

"What a pity, I was born before you, and by the time you were born, I was already old. If it had been ten thousand years earlier, I would never have let you go."

Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.

He suddenly felt a faint chill, coming from the peerlessly beautiful Other Shore Flower Matriarch beside him.

"That flirtatious fox, her nature really hasn't changed at all."

The Other Shore Flower Matriarch's face was ice cold.
