SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1179: The Mysterious Light Cocoon

The person Jun Xiaoyao thought of was naturally the last Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient Temple, Wu Hu.

Jun Xiaoyao felt that if chaos truly came in the future,

the Sacred Body would absolutely be a crucial figure.

And right now, across the entire Immortal Domain on the surface,

aside from himself, only Wu Hu was a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

This World-Protecting Heart suited him perfectly.

And Wu Hu himself also harbored a compassionate great vow to protect the world.

"I always feel that Wu Hu will play an extremely important role in the future."

The Sacred Body lineage, including the former Desolate Ancient Temple, had once borne the mission of preventing great calamity.

Wu Hu, as the last Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient Temple, was naturally also someone born to face the tribulation.

Jun Xiaoyao himself should also be someone destined to face the tribulation.

But having one more ally — why not?

Moreover, Wu Hu was now at the Divine Lord cultivation level, and was also a major figure in Jun Emperor Court.

Supporting him would be beneficial to Jun Xiaoyao and to Jun Emperor Court alike.

In the future, having a Great Perfection Sacred Body presiding over Jun Emperor Court would bring even greater stability.

Having made up his mind, Jun Xiaoyao put away the World-Protecting Heart.

He continued to wander through this chaotic region.

It could be said that very few people could reach this deep into the Void Heaven Realm.

"Hmm, there's a presence..."

Jun Xiaoyao sensed a certain aura and looked toward it.

Ahead, there was a pitch-black void rift.

Within it, a faint radiance was surging.

Jun Xiaoyao fixed his gaze and was startled to discover it was a cocoon of light.

Inside, there was a hazy, indistinct silhouette that couldn't be seen clearly.

"What's going on?"

Jun Xiaoyao felt deeply puzzled.

Deep within the Void Heaven Realm, inside a spatial rift, there was actually such a cocoon of light.

This was far too strange.

And that cocoon of light was also emanating a faint ripple of reincarnation, containing an extremely terrifying energy.

"Could this actually be the true Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Root?" Jun Xiaoyao speculated.

And just as he was about to step forward to investigate,

a faint voice came from behind him.

"We finally meet, Jun Xiaoyao."

The voice was steady, calm, carrying a sense of confidence, as though its owner were the sovereign of all heavens.

Jun Xiaoyao turned around and saw Di Haotian and the others.

Golden long hair, silver twin pupils, a tall and graceful figure like jade, a face as handsome as a deity.

It had to be said that the moment Jun Xiaoyao laid eyes on Di Haotian, a faint trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.

He rarely encountered someone with such an exceptional aura.

Not to say comparable to himself, but not far off either.

"The Ancient Young Emperor of the Immortal Court." Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

Other than that mysterious Ancient Young Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao couldn't think of anyone else.

Not to mention that Bai Luoxue and the Crimson-Haired Demon were standing nearby.

While Jun Xiaoyao was sizing up Di Haotian,

Di Haotian was also sizing up Jun Xiaoyao.

It had to be said that this man's appearance and bearing were also something he had rarely seen in his life.

Di Haotian's pair of Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes flickered with a faint silver light.

"The aura of chaos — indeed a talent comparable to the Chaos Body. He truly has inherited the legacy of the Azure Emperor." Di Haotian murmured to himself.

Just as he was about to activate his Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes for a deeper examination,

a strange glint appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, and his figure trembled slightly.

Chaotic energy surged up, enveloping his body, cloaking Jun Xiaoyao in a veil of blurred and elusive mystery.

The Heaven-Stealing Sun-Substituting Art was activated!

"Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes."

Jun Xiaoyao had long heard of this — the Ancient Young Emperor of the Immortal Court possessed three great innate physiques.

The Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes were one of them.

Capable of seeing through the many illusions of the world, rivaling even the Double Pupils.

Jun Xiaoyao carried many secrets, and within his inner universe were numerous rare and extraordinary objects.

He naturally would not allow Di Haotian to see through him.

Not to mention, a physique like the Quasi-Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus also needed to be concealed, as it would serve a great purpose in the future.

A strange look appeared in Di Haotian's eyes.

He found that his Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes were actually unable to see through Jun Xiaoyao.

"A secret technique to conceal one's aura? A pity — my Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes are capable of more than that." Di Haotian murmured inwardly.

The Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes, when cultivated to a profound level,

could even perceive the threads of karma.

"Then let me see just what kind of karma this person — who was never supposed to exist — actually carries."

Silver runes swirled within Di Haotian's pupils.

In his memories from his rebirth,

Jun Xiaoyao was a figure who did not exist.

Yet now, every deviation pointed to Jun Xiaoyao.

It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao was someone who had altered the world's timeline.

So Di Haotian wanted to see through what secret lay behind Jun Xiaoyao.

However, what surprised Di Haotian once again was

that he could not see Jun Xiaoyao's karma at all.

There were only two possible reasons.

First, Jun Xiaoyao's karma was being shielded.

Second, Jun Xiaoyao simply had no karma to speak of.

Di Haotian assumed it was the first.

"Interesting — this makes this Young Emperor more and more curious." Di Haotian smiled faintly.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained equally calm.

He had also sensed that Di Haotian was using the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes to probe his karma.

Too bad — he was a Fate Void Liker.

To try to grasp his karma and fate,

Di Haotian was still far too green.

"Young Emperor, sir..."

The Crimson-Haired Demon and Bai Luoxue were puzzled.

Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao stood facing each other in silence.

Neither of them knew

that in that brief moment just now,

these two had already gone through a full round of psychological sparring and contest.

This was what a true clash between masters looked like — every move lethal!

"Since this Young Emperor came into the world, the name I have heard most is Jun Xiaoyao. Seeing the man himself today, he truly lives up to his reputation."

Di Haotian carried himself with a grand and dignified bearing, like the Jade Emperor of myth.

"The Ancient Young Emperor of the Immortal Court — equally worthy of his name." Jun Xiaoyao smiled just as lightly.

Facing this most monstrous genius of the Immortal Court, he felt not the slightest apprehension.

"That Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Root was obtained by you." Di Haotian said.

"And so what?"

"And that drop of blood — you obtained that as well?"

"Hmm? You know there was a drop of blood in the Blood Fiend Illusion Realm?" A flicker of surprise crossed Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

"Deduced from the residual blood aura left there." Di Haotian said evenly, without any change in expression.

Rebirth was his greatest secret — it could not be known by anyone.

Otherwise it would absolutely bring trouble.

A trace of contemplation flickered in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

This Ancient Young Emperor of the Immortal Court seemed to have something going on beneath the surface.

Different from all the other leeks he had encountered before.

"So, what do you intend?"

"You killed my followers — by rights, this Young Emperor should settle that score."

"But, after all, they were the ones who provoked first."

"And you are indeed one of the most outstanding talents of this era. This Young Emperor admires you greatly." Di Haotian said.

The implication was already very clear.

Di Haotian was actually trying to take Jun Xiaoyao as a follower.

It could be said that looking across the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain right now,

even a true Emperor would not have the standing to speak of taking Jun Xiaoyao as a follower.

Because Jun Xiaoyao's future achievements would be, at the very least, that of a great Emperor.

One could only imagine how arrogant Di Haotian was.

Truly no one thought more highly of themselves than he did.

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao was not angered at all — instead he said composedly,

"Di Haotian, don't make this young master underestimate your intelligence."

Jun Xiaoyao's tongue was nothing short of venomous.

Not a single crude word, yet the insult landed invisibly.

Anyone else would probably have been so furious they'd be on the verge of collapse.

But Di Haotian was no ordinary person — his expression remained just as calm.

"This Young Emperor knows you may not be convinced in your heart, but that's fine."

"Among the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders under my command, the top few all once challenged me, yet in the end they all failed and became this Young Emperor's followers."

"And you, Jun Xiaoyao, are no exception."

Di Haotian's tone was utterly composed.

"Then you're welcome to try." Jun Xiaoyao's sleeve trembled.

Even facing this Ancient Young Emperor, he felt not the slightest fear.

And just at that moment, the cocoon of light within the spatial rift suddenly began to tremble.

Cracks spread across its surface, and then it split open.

A petite figure emerged before the eyes of both Jun Xiaoyao and Di Haotian.
