SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 961 - 961 The Secret of War God Mountain

"Prince Mojie,a battle at War God Mountain?"

Jun Xiaoyao fell into thought.

He knew of Prince Mojie — one of the Seven Young Emperors of the foreign realm,a figure of considerable power.

He had been in slumber until recently.

As for why Prince Mojie wanted to fight him,Jun Xiaoyao had already figured that out too.

First,it was because of his own ability to be immune to magical power.

And the innate divine ability of the Mojie Imperial Clan happened to be exactly that — magical power immunity.

For that reason alone,the Mojie Imperial Clan could never afford to ignore Jun Xiaoyao.

Then there was the second reason.

Naturally,it was because Prince Mojie,having just emerged into the world,needed a stunning victory to cement his reputation and standing.

Jun Xiaoyao was currently the most talked-about young prodigy across the ten regions of the foreign realm.

Naturally,he made the perfect whetstone.

One could say that Prince Mojie's move served two purposes — to establish his own fearsome name,and to investigate the reason behind Jun Xiaoyao's magical immunity.

"Young friend Xiaoyao,you must not be careless. That Prince Mojie is no ordinary opponent."

"And the fact that he chose War God Mountain of all places carries deep meaning." Elder Mu said.

Jun Xiaoyao was currently the War God Academy's designated candidate for the title of War God.

And Prince Mojie had specifically chosen War God Mountain as the site of their battle.

It was clear that if Jun Xiaoyao were to lose,

that title of War God candidate would become something of a joke.

"Where is War God Mountain?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"War God Mountain lies deep within our academy. It is the place where the First War God sealed away his weapons in ancient times." Elder Mu replied.

"The First War God,the place where he sealed his weapons?" Jun Xiaoyao was curious.

"That's right. The War God title passed down among the younger generation of our realm traces its origins back to that First War God."

"Legend has it that the First War God possessed the power to destroy the world,and was once a nightmare to the immortal realm."

"But in the end,the First War God sealed his weapons — he drove his weapon,the Divine Weeping War Halberd,into the peak of a mountain. That mountain is War God Mountain."

"And from that day to this,no one has ever been able to pull that Divine Weeping War Halberd free — not even a quasi-immortal."

Elder Mu's words gave Jun Xiaoyao pause,a contemplative look crossing his face.

That First War God was quite an interesting figure.

The origin of the War God title today traced all the way back to him.

"The power to destroy the world... could it be..." A certain suspicion began to form in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

He instinctively glanced down at his own wrist.

If that dark hexagram seal were to manifest,

it would surely be even more earth-shattering than the Chaos Constitution.

"Xiaoyao,don't worry. Even the Mojie Imperial Clan cannot act recklessly within the War God Academy." Luo Xiangling said with concern.

She was worried that the Mojie Imperial Clan might put tremendous psychological pressure on Jun Xiaoyao.

"Xiangling,thank you." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Beside them,Elder Mu's eyelid twitched,his gaze flickering back and forth between the two with a look of surprise and suspicion.

When had these two gotten so close?

They were even addressing each other so intimately?

Could it really be as the rumors outside suggested —

that King Luo was robbing the cradle?

Of course,Elder Mu was tactful enough not to say anything unnecessary,keeping his eyes forward and his thoughts to himself.

"Thank you as well for the reminder,Elder Mu. I will take this matter to heart." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

"By the way,there is one more thing I should tell you — conflict has broken out at the Borderlands,and the Borderlands trial that belongs to your generation is coming soon."

"The immortal realm should not be underestimated either. Many extraordinary talents have emerged — such as the Heavenly Son of the Jun Clan,the Imperial Daughter of the Immortal Court,and the various ancient clans and primordial noble families." Elder Mu reminded.

"Understood." Jun Xiaoyao said.

He would be seeing those familiar faces again — he was actually looking forward to it.

After Elder Mu departed,

Jun Xiaoyao continued to stay with Luo Xiangling.

As for Prince Mojie,Jun Xiaoyao didn't give it much thought.

Even if Prince Mojie was a supreme being,Jun Xiaoyao didn't care in the slightest.

What he cared more about was the system check-in prompt that had appeared in his mind just now.

What kind of good things could he check in for at War God Mountain?

That was what truly mattered to Jun Xiaoyao.

Days passed one by one.

On the other side,

Tushan Wanwan had also been frequently trying to find Jun Xiaoyao to spar with.

But every time,he was nowhere to be found.

"Has Young Master Xiaoyao still not returned?" Tushan Wanwan said,clearly disappointed.

"Sister Wanwan,I think you should go back to Tushan and wait properly for the marriage selection event to begin." Tushan Chunchu said with a straight face.

"Fifth sister,are you being territorial right now?"

Tushan Wanwan reached out her slender hand and pinched Tushan Chunchu's two round,chubby little cheeks,

pulling them into all sorts of strange shapes.

"Sister Wanwan,I'm being serious. Chunchu may have truly found her destined one." Tushan Chunchu said earnestly.

Tushan Wanwan was briefly taken aback,then smiled and said,"Well,what can I do — it seems like fourth sister here has developed feelings for him too."

"No no no,I won't allow it!"

Tushan Chunchu bristled,her head of silky,glossy white hair puffing up and standing on end.

"Haha,who knows — once we bring him back to Tushan,maybe our three eldest sisters will take a liking to him too." Tushan Wanwan teased.

"That won't do,Master will be wrung dry!" Tushan Chunchu panicked.

She could barely keep him all to herself as it was.

Having to split him five ways — how could that possibly work?

And with five sisters sharing,who could even handle that?

By the time it was finally her turn,there might not be a single drop left.

After teasing Tushan Chunchu for a bit,Tushan Wanwan prepared to head back.

At the entrance,Yun Xiaohei was holding the reins of the Tianyu Horse,waiting.

"What does that Chaos Constitution have that makes him worthy..." Yun Xiaohei's gaze was dark and brooding.

Lately,Tushan Wanwan had been coming by frequently,hoping to see Jun Xiaoyao,only to find him absent every time.

This had twisted Yun Xiaohei's heart with jealousy until it was nearly warped.

The Tushan Wanwan he could only admire from afar,

Jun Xiaoyao couldn't even be bothered to spare a glance at,leaving her behind without a second thought.

The gap between them was just too vast.

"Xiaohei,let's go back."

Tushan Wanwan walked over,a faint trace of disappointment visible on her face.

"Your Highness,is it really worth it?" Yun Xiaohei couldn't help but say.

Normally,he wouldn't have had the nerve to speak up to Tushan Wanwan like this.

But he simply couldn't stand by and watch any longer.

Tushan Wanwan was slightly taken aback,clearly not expecting Yun Xiaohei to say something like that.

A faint smile crossed her lips as she said,"Xiaohei,you have no idea what kind of gains come from sparring with him."

"Even just a single word of guidance from him leads to tremendous growth in my strength."

"Is it truly only about improving your strength?" Yun Xiaohei asked,biting down on his jaw.

He didn't even know where he had found the courage to say that.

Tushan Wanwan's cheeks flushed a light pink,her gaze drifting slightly as she said,"Well... well,what else would it be — as for liking him,that's also..."

Tushan Wanwan didn't finish the sentence.

But her expression was unmistakably that of a girl lost in the throes of a budding infatuation.

"Your Highness,I have always felt that something is off about that Chaos Constitution. He may have ulterior motives toward you." Yun Xiaohei said.

He wanted to snap Tushan Wanwan out of it,to stop her from sinking any deeper.

But to his surprise,the smile on Tushan Wanwan's face vanished instantly,her brows knitting together,a hint of anger rising in her expression.

"Xiaohei,given the many years you have served as my groom,I will warn you once — and only once."

"I will not allow anyone to speak ill of him behind his back. If there is a next time,you need not be my groom any longer."

With that,Tushan Wanwan's expression turned cold,and she mounted the Tianyu Horse alone and rode away.

"Your Highness...!"

Yun Xiaohei's face went deathly pale,his lips trembling.

He had only meant it as a well-intentioned warning.

And yet Tushan Wanwan had reacted with such anger.

One had to know that Tushan Wanwan was a straightforward person by nature,rarely given to anger.

Even in how she treated him,she had never scolded or struck him the way one might treat a servant — she had always been warm and easygoing.

That was one of the reasons Yun Xiaohei had come to admire her.

But now?

He had done nothing more than question Jun Xiaoyao slightly,

and Tushan Wanwan had turned so cold toward him.

Yun Xiaohei's heart ached — ached as though it were splitting apart.

His eyes,as if steeped in darkness,burned with a deep,bone-deep hatred and resentment.

Before,he had not yet fully made up his mind.

But now,Yun Xiaohei had decided.

He would leave Tushan Wanwan and go to the Demon Sealing Tomb.

He would uncover the secret of his own origins and become the strongest of all.

"Wanwan,you will become my woman."

"And that Chaos Constitution — I will make you pay."

A look of absolute resolve flashed in Yun Xiaohei's eyes as he turned and walked away.
