Chapter 943 - 943 Identity Exposed?
Mu Lao led Jun Xiaoyao toward the inner courtyard of the War God Academy.
As for Tushan Wanwan and Tushan Chunchun,with their imperial clan background,they could naturally join the War God Academy with ease.
Fei Qingxue had originally been a bit of a borderline case.
But now,one person rises to the top,and those around them rise with them.
She was considered one of Jun Xiaoyao's attendants,so she could join the War God Academy directly as well.
As for Li Jiuming and the others,they could naturally join too,but they had no face left to hold their heads high here,and they slunk into the academy with rather sorry-looking figures.
After Mu Lao and the others departed,the entire scene erupted into an uproar.
If the Celestial Banquet before had only been Jun Xiaoyao's first glimpse of brilliance,
then now,Jun Xiaoyao's name had truly and completely risen to prominence.
Five of the Ten Heavenly Kings had made their move,and he had swept through them all single-handedly.
Li Jiuming,ranked in the top three in combat power,couldn't even manage to wound Jun Xiaoyao.
Mighty supreme-level powerhouses had been cut down by Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao had made a name for himself in a single battle,and no one would ever again question the true strength of the Chaos Physique.
"I think aside from the slumbering imperial sons and celestial maidens,there's probably no one who can match the Chaos Physique."
"Exactly,even the top-ranked among the Ten Heavenly Kings,the Prince of the Other Shore,probably isn't a match for Jun Xiaoyao,right?"
"Shh,don't talk nonsense,if the Prince of the Other Shore hears you,your life won't be worth much." someone warned.
The leader of the Ten Heavenly Kings,the Prince of the Other Shore.
Though he was a heaven's pride of the blue other shore flower lineage,
because he had the backing of the mysterious and powerful Other Shore Clan,the Prince of the Other Shore had a somewhat eccentric temperament,arrogant and self-important.
If he were to hear words that belittled him,the consequences would likely not be pleasant.
Meanwhile,on the other side,Jun Xiaoyao followed Mu Lao deep into the War God Academy.
The War God Academy covered an enormous expanse of land.
As far as the eye could see,there were sheer cliffs and strange peaks,green pines and emerald cypresses.
Medicinal herbs tens of thousands of years old grew freely and untended.
All manner of rare and exotic beasts leaped and bounded through the mountain ravines.
Rosy clouds draped everything in a warm glow,and waves of immortal mist drifted through the air.
One celestial palace after another floated suspended in the void,like the dwelling places of immortals.
Between the winding,undulating mountain ranges,dragon qi seemed to be converging,the scenery magnificent and boundless,with purple aura rising like steam.
"So this is the War God Academy."
Even Jun Xiaoyao,whose horizons were extraordinarily high,felt a faint sense of admiration stir within him upon entering the War God Academy.
Worthy of being the top academy of the foreign realm.
This couldn't help but make Jun Xiaoyao think of the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy in the immortal realm.
Though he had never been there himself,
he imagined the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy would be no less impressive than the War God Academy.
"Beneath this War God Academy,there should be a dragon vein,shouldn't there?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
Mu Lao smiled and replied,"But of course,our War God Academy nurtures the finest talents of an entire realm,with fortune and destiny converging here,so naturally there is a dragon vein to anchor it all."
Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod,a flash of some indescribable light passing through the depths of his eyes.
A dragon vein formed from the convergence of an entire realm's fortune and destiny — if he could absorb it into his inner universe,wouldn't that be an enormous boon?
Jun Xiaoyao had already set his sights on the dragon vein.
Of course,this would also require careful planning over time.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Mu Lao led Jun Xiaoyao to the deepest reaches of the War God Academy.
This place was shrouded in immortal mist,with purple qi billowing all around.
With Jun Xiaoyao's keen perception,he could sense it clearly.
Numerous ancient and powerful auras lay dormant here.
From time to time,one divine sense after another swept across his body.
This place could also be considered a forbidden ground of the War God Academy,and ordinary people had no right to set foot here.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm and composed.
His body was a Chaos Physique reforged anew.
He himself was also a Fated Void,whose karmic traces could not be detected by others.
On top of that,he still had the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Substituting Art.
Jun Xiaoyao was confident that unless a true immortal paid a great price to investigate,no one could ever uncover his true background.
But what immortal would have nothing better to do than pay such a price to deduce his karmic origins?
Not to mention that Jun Xiaoyao had previously used the method of Reflecting the Myriad Heavens to manifest divine malice and confound the world.
No immortal would ever offend other immortals just to investigate his whereabouts.
That was precisely the reason Jun Xiaoyao felt so confident.
Of course,if things truly came to the most desperate of circumstances,Jun Xiaoyao had his ways.
"That senior resides here,this old one will not go in." Mu Lao said.
"Thank you for showing me the way,senior." Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight bow.
"You're too polite,young friend." Mu Lao said with a kindly smile.
Not only was he the Chaos Physique,but his character was also humble and courteous,and on top of that he had been taken notice of by the Ancient Supreme.
"This young man will surely soar to great heights one day,it wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship with him now." Mu Lao bowed and took his leave,thinking to himself.
Jun Xiaoyao moved forward.
Ahead lay a grove of purple bamboo,with a small bridge,flowing water,and a dwelling nestled within.
It looked like a stretch of wild mountain scenery,yet purple qi billowed and dragon energy pervaded the air.
"This place is one of the source points of the dragon vein,where the dragon qi is at its most concentrated." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
If one could cultivate here over a long period of time,the benefits would be extraordinary.
He entered the purple bamboo grove,and before long,the path opened up into a wide,bright expanse.
Ahead was a dwelling brimming with immortal energy.
Pavilions and terraces,with a small stream winding all around.
Jun Xiaoyao was inwardly speculating about just who this Ancient Supreme was,the one who had taken notice of him.
Jun Xiaoyao arrived before the dwelling and was just about to speak,when he noticed the door was left half ajar.
Jun Xiaoyao pushed the door open and walked straight in.
However,he froze,his footsteps coming to a halt.
Inside the door,a woman dressed in a plain white gauze gown was seated on a wooden chair,embroidering.
This woman was strikingly,almost startlingly beautiful.
Eyes like autumn water,bones like jade,a face like a lotus blossom,brows like willow leaves.
Her deep blue hair was smooth and lustrous,cascading all the way down to her shapely hips.
Her features were exquisitely flawless — brows and eyes like a painting,skin like snow,lips vivid and bright,teeth gleaming white within,without the slightest imperfection to be found.
Her skin was fair and translucent,so delicate it seemed as though it might break at the lightest touch,tender enough that one felt water might be squeezed from it.
She was a woman of such serene and perfect beauty that she seemed to have reached the very pinnacle of stillness,graceful and elegant,and the sight of her sitting there embroidering was like a painting come to life.
The entire world became a backdrop,and she alone sat there in full bloom,making heaven and earth themselves seem to pale in comparison.
Even with Jun Xiaoyao's breadth of experience and composure,he was momentarily stunned.
But he quickly came back to his senses.
He had seen no small number of beauties.
But this woman could absolutely rank in the top five.
Jun Xiaoyao's standards were already exacting enough.
Yet he was still just slightly taken aback.
"Miss,is the master of this place not in?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with a slight bow.
Only then did the woman set down her embroidery,raise her delicate head,and look at Jun Xiaoyao for the first time.
She too was momentarily stunned.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao had been a moment ago.
Perhaps she had never encountered a man of such exceptionally outstanding bearing either.
"You are the Chaos Physique?" The woman's bright,glistening eyes,which seemed as though they might overflow with water at any moment,looked Jun Xiaoyao up and down.
"Could it be that..." A subtle shift passed through Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
He probed the woman's aura,only to find that he could not gauge its depth whatsoever.
Either this woman was far too profound,or far too shallow.
And it was quite obvious that this was a forbidden ground of the academy,the source of the dragon vein.
Even a maidservant here could not possibly be so shallow as to have no cultivation at all.
Which meant...
"I was right after all."
The woman rose to her feet,and an aura warm and gentle as a great river,yet vast and unfathomable as the cosmos itself,spread outward and enveloped Jun Xiaoyao.
"This woman is the Ancient Supreme who took notice of me?"
Even Jun Xiaoyao felt a flicker of surprise.
He had assumed that the Ancient Supreme would be a white-haired elder,or some existence of mysterious bearing and lofty aloofness.
Yet before him stood a woman of unparalleled grace and beauty,with looks that could eclipse all under heaven.
It did feel somewhat incongruous.
Jun Xiaoyao felt every fraction,every sliver,every inch of himself being scrutinized by the woman's divine sense.
"Definitely not the cultivation of the seventh level of the Supreme realm,this is... a quasi-immortal..." A trace of gravity lay hidden in the depths of Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
He would not let his guard down against this Ancient Supreme simply because she was a woman.
A quasi-immortal of the foreign realm was not one to be trifled with,not a single one of them.
This woman was on the same level of existence as the Peacock King of the Black Peacock Royal Clan.
"I cannot detect your karmic origins or your past,it is like a shroud of mist,with no background or source to be found."
"Tell me the truth,you are someone from the immortal realm,aren't you,infiltrating the War God Academy — what is your purpose?!"
The woman's bright,crystalline eyes stared directly at Jun Xiaoyao!
