SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 971 971 The Grand Sacrificial Blood Ground

The matter of War God Mountain shook all ten regions of the foreign realm.

In particular, Jun Xiaoyao's identity as the World-Destroying Six Kings was exposed.

This also led everyone to connect it to the dark hexagram phenomenon that had manifested in the sky some time ago.

Only then did people realize, after the fact, that the phenomenon had actually been caused by Jun Xiaoyao.

Numerous top-tier royal clans, quasi-imperial clans, and even immortal imperial clans all sent envoys to the War God Academy, hoping to meet Jun Xiaoyao in person.

Jun Xiaoyao had now truly become a prized commodity.

Because barring any accidents, Jun Xiaoyao would certainly grow into a World-Destroying Sovereign in the future, achieving at the very least the rank of Immortal King.

On top of that, he possessed the innate talent of a Chaos Physique — this was practically a foregone conclusion.

Being able to win over Jun Xiaoyao would be of tremendous benefit to any clan.

Even immortal imperial clans would covet him, unable to maintain their usual lofty indifference.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao refused to see any of these envoys.

Inside Jun Xiaoyao's residence.

Jun Xiaoyao was sitting across from Luo Xiangling.

A game of Go was laid out between them, with tea set to the side.

The two were playing and drinking tea.

As for Tushan Chunchun and the others, out of deference to Luo Xiangling, they dared not disturb them.

After all, in front of Jun Xiaoyao, Luo Xiangling was just an ordinary woman.

But in front of everyone else, she was the supremely exalted Luo King.

"Xiaoyao, over these past few days, several lineages of immortal imperial clans have sought to visit you, yet you've turned them all away."

"If you simply agreed, they could all help shield you from the pressure of the Mojie Imperial Clan."

Luo Xiangling took a light sip of tea and said.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly and said, "What's the point of bothering with such trivial matters? Being able to play Go and drink tea with you, Xiangling, is where the true joy of life lies."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiangling lowered her eyes slightly, her slender lashes like butterfly wings.

A faint blush rose on her delicate cheeks.

For some reason, the more time she spent with Jun Xiaoyao, the more frequently she found herself feeling shy.

"Xiaoyao, you're destined to grow into someone great — by then, I might be far beneath you."

As if to conceal her own feelings, Luo Xiangling said it in a teasing tone.

Though what she said was, in truth, a fact.

Luo Xiangling was currently stuck at a bottleneck, and breaking through to become an Immortal King was extremely difficult for her.

But Jun Xiaoyao, with his monstrous talent, was destined to achieve immortality.

"It's all thanks to you, Xiangling, that I've been able to develop so smoothly. If I ever find a way, I will definitely help you break through and become an Immortal King."

As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, one of his hands quietly covered Luo Xiangling's delicate hand.

Luo Xiangling's body softened, and she did not pull her hand away.

"Xiaoyao, just having that intention is enough." The tips of Luo Xiangling's crystal-clear ears flushed faintly red.

Jun Xiaoyao's acting could be described as flawless.

His flirting skills were maxed out.

Though Jun Xiaoyao's words were not entirely deceptive.

He genuinely did want to help Luo Xiangling break through and become an Immortal King.

That way, he would have won over a true Immortal King as an ally.

This was important to Jun Xiaoyao.

It would also make things much more convenient for him when acting in the foreign realm going forward.

Just then, Fei Qingxue's voice came from outside the door.

"Young master, Elder Mu has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiangling instinctively withdrew her delicate hand, and a girlish flush of embarrassment crossed her face.

Yet Luo Xiangling's beauty was peerless — even if her actual age might be that of an older woman.

The shy and tender expression she wore at this moment was, in fact, extraordinarily captivating.

Even more alluring than a girl experiencing her first stirrings of love.

Elder Mu walked in and immediately caught sight of Luo Xiangling's bashful expression.

His heart gave a little jolt, and he privately thought he had come at a bad time.

"Elder Mu, what brings you here?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"It's like this — barring any unexpected circumstances, young friend is set to receive the true title of War God." Elder Mu said.

Jun Xiaoyao was not surprised by this.

He had already drawn out the God-Weeping War Halberd, so receiving the War God title was only natural.

"However, the Borderland Trial is about to begin, so the ceremony for young friend's War God title and the banquet to be held may have to wait until after returning from the Borderland." Elder Mu said.

"That's fine."

Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind.

He wasn't particularly interested in this so-called War God title to begin with.

It was simply a useful name to have when operating in the foreign realm.

"The esteemed figures of the Academy have high expectations for young friend's performance in the Borderland — after all, a titled War God cannot perform too poorly, or it will invite criticism." Elder Mu said tactfully.

"Elder Mu can rest assured. I know what I'm doing." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Even so, young friend should still be careful on this trip to the Borderland."

"The Nine Heavens Immortal Academy has also sent out some of their top figures, and I've received word that the Immortal Domain appears to have a seed-level Chaos Physique as well." Elder Mu's tone grew somewhat grave.

Who could have imagined that in this era, two Chaos Physiques would appear.

Jun Xiaoyao inwardly smiled.

He was no Chaos Physique — merely a Chaotic Azure Lotus Constitution that was nearly on par with one.

As for the Chaos Physique from the Immortal Domain, he was also quite curious: between the two of them, who would be stronger?

"By the way, there is one more extremely important matter — in the Borderland, a relic left behind by an Immortal of our realm has shown signs of unusual activity."

"That relic is called the Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground, and it is connected to a certain forbidden Immortal. Young friend should take note of this as well." Elder Mu said.

"Understood." Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod.

The Grand Sacrifice Blood Ground — just from the name alone, it was clear there were secrets within.

And since it was connected to a forbidden Immortal, Jun Xiaoyao had a feeling he would make significant discoveries there.

After finishing what he had to say, Elder Mu took his leave.

A trace of worry surfaced in Luo Xiangling's clear, water-like eyes.

"Xiaoyao, the Borderland is no safe place. Even if I were to accompany you, I may not be able to protect you." Luo Xiangling said with concern.

The Borderland battlefield was a vast expanse of chaotic terrain, situated in the gap between two realms.

And when conflict truly broke out, it would be soldier against soldier, general against general.

The quasi-immortals of the foreign realm would face off against the quasi-emperors of the Immortal Domain.

So Jun Xiaoyao and the others could only rely on themselves.

"Xiangling, don't worry. I can't keep relying on your protection forever." Jun Xiaoyao said.

This trip to the Borderland — he had things of his own to accomplish.

Having Luo Xiangling tag along would actually be inconvenient.

Several days later, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in his residence.

Within his inner universe, countless points of light converged ceaselessly upon the Seed of Faith.

That was the power of faith from countless slave-race beings.

Tuoba Yu, that useful tool, was proving to be quite dutiful.

But Jun Xiaoyao had not yet heard any news of a slave-race uprising.

Most likely, a rebellion of that scale had not yet been enough to draw the attention of the high-ranking powerhouses of the foreign realm.

But that was all the better — it gave Tuoba Yu time to expand wildly.

The only shortcoming was that while the faith power provided by those slave-race beings was pure, the quantity was a bit lacking.

In contrast, the faith power from the Ice Spirit Royal Clan had, with the passage of time, also grown purer.

The faith power provided by a single powerhouse was enough to match that of tens of thousands of slave-race beings.

Jun Xiaoyao planned to wait until his influence had reached its peak before having the Ice Spirit Royal Clan spread the faith to other royal clans.

By then, the faith power Jun Xiaoyao received would surge in a tremendous explosive burst.

Jun Xiaoyao set aside his attention on the Seed of Faith and continued to wait for it to sprout.

In addition, the Celestial Immortal Tree had also borne fruit.

One by one, humanoid Celestial Immortal Fruits hung there — crystalline and translucent, like ginseng fruits, brimming with the power of laws.

"The next step is breaking through to Supreme. Beyond my own comprehension, I'll also need more law fragments to assist." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Relying solely on the Celestial Immortal Fruits to provide law fragments was clearly not enough.

"Right, the Borderland has many mysterious regions — perhaps I can find things like law fragments there. Then I can condense the laws of the physical body and break through directly to Supreme."

Jun Xiaoyao had formed a plan in his mind.

This trip to the Borderland must yield results!
