SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1125 - 1125 A New Monstrous Genius

What kind of figure is a Great Emperor? One who reigns supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, commanding awe across all of eternity.

Wielding the Great Dao, controlling cause and effect — with a single thought, heaven and earth collapse; with another, the universe shatters.

Looking down upon countless living beings, watching the seas turn to mulberry fields.

Such a figure is far beyond the ordinary.

For a Great Emperor, even right and wrong no longer hold any meaning.

Because their words are truth itself — they define what is right and what is wrong!

Yet now, the Big Dipper Great Emperor was bowing in apology to a junior.

This was absolutely unimaginable.

"Big Dipper Great Emperor, why go this far?"

No one could make sense of it.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly and cupped his hands toward the Big Dipper Great Emperor, saying, "Senior Big Dipper, you jest."

"At that time, I was an Alien Chaos Body. It was perfectly reasonable for you to want to strike me down and eliminate a future threat. What wrong was there in that?"

Toward this Big Dipper Great Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao held a fair measure of respect.

In the past, he had guarded the frontier and rendered outstanding service, leaving his body riddled with injuries and illness.

Even now, afflicted with grave illness, aged and hunched, he still radiated his final light and warmth for the Immortal Domain.

Compared to those Ancient Imperial Clans whose Ancient Emperors appeared as mere phantom silhouettes and didn't even make a move —

The Big Dipper Great Emperor was the very picture of loyalty and wholehearted devotion.

Jun Xiaoyao's easy-going manner only deepened the Big Dipper Great Emperor's sense of guilt. He let out a sigh and said,

"Fortunately, the Divine Turtle King stopped this old one back then. Otherwise, this old one would have become the eternal sinner of the Immortal Domain."

Had the Big Dipper Great Emperor truly killed Jun Xiaoyao at that time,

no one would have been able to stop the ultimate calamity that now loomed.

And even if it could have been stopped, the Immortal Domain would have paid an incalculable price.

"Your wholehearted devotion to the Immortal Domain fills this junior with admiration and deep respect." Jun Xiaoyao said.

The Big Dipper Great Emperor sighed with great feeling — with a hero like this in the Immortal Domain, why fear the great tribulations to come?

Then, he turned his gaze toward the Ancient Imperial Clan members who had been crushed to the ground, his eyes utterly cold.

The overwhelming imperial pressure continued to pour down.

The bodies of those Ancient Imperial Clan beings exploded one by one.

The elder of the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave had his eyes splitting with rage, his heart filled with boundless regret. His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Jun Xiaoyao and snarled,

"Our clan's Little Ancestor will never let you off!"

"Neither will the Little Stone Emperor of our Sacred Spirit Island!" the beings from Sacred Spirit Island also howled.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

A series of explosive sounds rang out — the Ancient Imperial Clan beings who had come to provoke and condemn were completely annihilated!

"If any of you are unconvinced, you Ancient Imperial Clans are more than welcome to come find this old one and demand answers!"

The Big Dipper Great Emperor's expression was utterly indifferent.

This was what a true Emperor looked like!

Even afflicted with grave illness, even in the twilight of life, still fearless before all!

Ancient Imperial Clan members could be cut down at will, with no fear of any consequences!

Looking at the ground strewn with blood and shattered bones, many cultivators present shuddered.

The Ancient Imperial Clans had truly suffered a silent loss this time.

After all, who would dare to make trouble for a Great Emperor?

Even if the Ancient Imperial Clans had Supreme Ancient Emperors among them,

such powerhouses could not easily go to war, let alone fight to the death — that would benefit no one.

So these Ancient Imperial Clan beings had essentially come to throw their lives away.

From beginning to end, Jun Xiaoyao's expression hadn't changed in the slightest.

Even without the Big Dipper Great Emperor's intervention, this group of Ancient Imperial Clan members wouldn't have caused him any real trouble.

"The Little Ancestor of the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave?"

The dying elder of the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave's venomous roar brought a cold smile to the corner of Jun Xiaoyao's lips.

"Xiaoyao gege may not know, but after you disappeared, many more freak seeds emerged in the Immortal Domain, all hoping to take your place."

"The Little Ancestor of the Demon Phoenix Ancient Cave is named Huang Nie Dao, a direct descendant of the Undying Ancient Emperor."

Jiang Luoli, who stood nearby, explained.

"A direct descendant of the Undying Ancient Emperor?" Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged.

Such direct descendants were indeed not to be underestimated.

Little Xiao Yi, the little Divine Demon Ant, for instance, was a direct descendant of the Divine Demon Great Emperor.

Prodigies like these carried the bloodline of a direct Ancient Emperor or even an Emperor's bloodline within them — their future potential was truly limitless.

But to Jun Xiaoyao, they still couldn't stir so much as a ripple in his heart.

That so-called Little Stone Emperor of Sacred Spirit Island was likely a similar sort of character.

"They only dared to step onto the stage after I had fallen, competing for the heavenly mandate of this great era."

"Now that I'm back, there will be no place for any of you in this age."

A cold mockery gleamed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes as he spoke those words inwardly.

Then, he looked up toward the Big Dipper Great Emperor in the sky and cupped his hands slightly.

"Many thanks to Senior Big Dipper for lending a hand. If Senior doesn't mind, this junior would like to do what little he can to help with Senior's injuries."

The Big Dipper Great Emperor had no clan or faction behind him.

He was a lone wanderer, having spent his entire life seeking only the Dao.

In that regard, he bore some resemblance to the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor.

If Jun Xiaoyao wished to help, with the resources of both himself and the Jun family, he could genuinely make a difference for the Big Dipper Great Emperor.

"Heh, does this young friend have something else in mind?"

The Big Dipper Great Emperor's eyes gleamed with wisdom, as though he had already seen through Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts.

Jun Xiaoyao remained composed and unhurried, speaking openly, "I wonder if Senior would be interested in joining the Jun Emperor Court?"

The Jun Emperor Court was flourishing and growing rapidly.

But it still lacked a pillar-like presence to anchor it.

Jun Xiaoyao had hoped to bring the Other Shore Clan into the fold as well,

but at most, the Other Shore Clan would only maintain a cooperative relationship with the Jun Emperor Court.

A full merger was out of the question in the short term.

So Jun Xiaoyao hoped to recruit more powerful figures for the Jun Emperor Court.

The Big Dipper Great Emperor smiled, showing no sign of displeasure.

"Apologies, this old one has long been accustomed to drifting free as clouds and wild cranes — always alone throughout this life."

The Big Dipper Great Emperor's refusal was well within Jun Xiaoyao's expectations.

He said, "Even so, this junior still welcomes Senior to visit the Jun family as a guest. Senior has given everything for our Immortal Domain — you shouldn't simply fade away in obscurity like this."

Jun Xiaoyao's words were utterly sincere, moving many of those present.

This was what it meant for one hero to cherish another.

The Big Dipper Great Emperor looked at Jun Xiaoyao long and deep, and finally smiled faintly.

"Although this old one isn't suited to joining any faction, if it's merely a matter of holding the title of guest elder, I wouldn't mind that at all."

At those words, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

Those around them were even more astonished.

He said it was merely holding the title of guest elder.

But in truth, it wasn't all that different from actually joining.

Anyone who wished to move against the Jun Emperor Court would have to think twice about the Big Dipper Great Emperor.

"Many thanks, Senior!" Jun Xiaoyao said with delight.

Shortly after, the Big Dipper Great Emperor took his leave.

As for his injuries, Jun Xiaoyao would naturally arrange for the Jun family to find a way to address them.

A small disturbance thus came to an end.

But Jun Xiaoyao knew that the Ancient Imperial Clans, along with Sacred Spirit Island and the lineage of the Underworld King, must already despise him to the core.

Not to mention that those he had killed in the Borderlands were not limited to the Ancient Imperial Clans.

There were also the heirs of the Immortal Court's great Immortal Lineages — Cang Li, Yao Qing, and Xing Lu — all of whom had died at his hands.

Yet the Immortal Court had not come knocking at the first opportunity.

This revealed the Immortal Court's wisdom.

They were indeed more restrained than these Ancient Imperial Clans.

For now, Jun Xiaoyao's edge was too sharp, his name too great — not someone to provoke lightly.

But the Immortal Court would not forget this debt.

Just as the matter was drawing to a close,

a graceful silhouette suddenly emerged from within the crowd.

She gazed at Jun Xiaoyao with a swirl of emotions — her face lit with joy, yet tinged with something complex.

Jun Xiaoyao noticed the elegant young woman.

Yu Yunshang!

Behind her stood a strikingly handsome man with a full head of silver hair.

It was none other than the Feathered King!
