SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1130 - 1130 Holy Spirit Island

In some inns and teahouses within the town, many cultivators were discussing the matter of the Yaochi Sacred Land.

This was, by recent standards, the biggest event in the Luotian Immortal Domain.

"But honestly, it's truly a sad state of affairs. The Yaochi Sacred Land was once so glorious, and during the era of the Queen Mother of the West, it was the number one power in our Luotian Immortal Domain."

"And yet it has fallen so low that people are even forcing their way to its door."

"I heard that the divine maiden of the Jiang family seems to be at the Yaochi Sacred Land. Are those beings not afraid?"

"Right, the greatest backer of that Jiang family divine maiden isn't the ancient Jiang family, but rather that person from the Jun family."

"That person from the Jun family — haven't they already fallen long ago?"

The border was separated from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain by the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Emperor's Path.

So for news to travel over, it still took some time.

The beings of the Luotian Immortal Domain were temporarily unaware of the great events that had occurred at the border.

And even less aware of the matter concerning Jun Xiaoyao.

These cultivators were in the middle of their conversation, when at some unknown point, two figures — one male, one female — had silently appeared behind them.

"What happened at the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

A calm voice rang out, giving several of the cultivators present a sudden start.

They turned to look, and saw a strikingly beautiful young girl of exceptional charm.

And beside her, a refined and peerless young man dressed in white.

The cultivators were a little confused, but still spoke up.

"Young master may not be aware, but recently the immortal power known as the Sacred Spirit Island has come looking for the Yaochi Sacred Land, apparently seeking to take something from them."

"Although the Yaochi Sacred Land once had its glory, it has now fallen into decline, and is naturally at a disadvantage."

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao said plainly, "Sacred Spirit Island, is it. What do they want?"

"That's not entirely clear, but it seems to be related to the Jiang family divine maiden."

The moment that cultivator finished speaking,

the temperature in the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly plummeted at a rapid pace.

Every cultivator couldn't help but shiver.

When they turned back around, they found that the man and woman had already slipped away without a sound.

This inexplicable scene left many cultivators utterly baffled.

"Probably just more powerful figures who came to watch the excitement." Many cultivators shook their heads.

With such a major incident unfolding at the Yaochi Sacred Land, there was naturally no shortage of spectators.

There were even some factions waiting for Sacred Spirit Island and the Yaochi Sacred Land to clash before swooping in to claim a share.

"Wait, something's off…"

Suddenly, one cultivator's eyes showed a hint of puzzled contemplation.

The other cultivators shot that cultivator a sideways glance.

"Why do I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before?"

This young cultivator was a top genius from a major power, and had once walked the Emperor's Path.

"Hiss…"

Suddenly, the young cultivator seemed to recall something, drawing a sharp breath, eyes filled with unprecedented shock and stupefaction.

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"The Jun family's divine son!"

The young cultivator cried out, as if he truly had seen a ghost.

Then he rose and left immediately — he had to go to the Yaochi Sacred Land to see for himself.

The moment those words fell, every other cultivator was left dumbstruck.

"How is that possible, the Jun family's divine son isn't…" one cultivator said with an awkward laugh, just about to say something,

when he recalled that the refined and peerless white-robed young man from just moments ago did indeed look, no matter how you looked at him, exactly like the Jun family's divine son from the rumors.

In an instant, countless cultivators across the entire city shot into the sky, transforming into streaks of light, rushing toward the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Today, it seemed a truly momentous event was about to unfold.

The return of the Jun family's divine son was absolutely more explosive than anything involving the Yaochi Sacred Land and Sacred Spirit Island.

……

In the void.

Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli stood atop the Azure Sky Great Roc, cutting through the air at tremendous speed.

"Sacred Spirit Island has gone too far. Even if the Yaochi Sacred Land has declined, Shengyi sister is still a divine maiden of my Jiang family!"

Jiang Luoli ground her teeth in fury, seething with indignation.

Although the Jiang family kept a low profile, unlike the Jun family, whose might shook the immortal domain and could even stand toe to toe with the Immortal Court,

they were still an ancient family with profound heritage, and one of the three great ancient ruling families.

Sacred Spirit Island's actions were simply a blatant disregard for the Jiang family.

Not to mention — whose person was Jiang Shengyi?

She was Jun Xiaoyao's woman.

Even if news of Jun Xiaoyao's return had not yet spread through the Luotian Immortal Domain,

at the very least, Jiang Shengyi had ties to the Jun family.

"I have a pretty good idea of what Sacred Spirit Island wants from Shengyi sister." Jun Xiaoyao gave a cold smile.

He remembered that back on the Burial Emperor Star along the Ultimate Ancient Path,

Jiang Shengyi had obtained the inheritance of the Queen Mother of the West.

Among it was a supreme treasure — the Nine Aperture Stone Fetus.

It was said to be a sacred spirit embryo, one that could potentially give birth to an invincible sacred spirit in the future.

"Still, Sacred Spirit Island really does have quite a lot of nerve."

"In that case, let Sacred Spirit Island serve as an example to establish my authority." Jun Xiaoyao gave a cold laugh.

He had just returned to the immortal domain, and naturally needed to make a show of force.

And at this very moment, Sacred Spirit Island had conveniently jumped out, walking straight into Jun Xiaoyao's sights.

……

The Yaochi Sacred Land was situated within a great province of the Luotian Immortal Domain, rich with spiritual energy.

As far as the eye could see, there were countless spirit mountains, scattered palaces and pavilions, rare flowers and spirit grasses blanketing the ground, ancient medicinal herbs growing along mountain streams, and spirit birds and beasts leaping about.

Silver waterfalls cascaded down like bolts of silk.

It was truly a pure land of the mortal world, an existence like a paradise beyond the mundane.

Worthy of the name Yaochi in every sense.

But now, this pure land had been plunged into turmoil.

At this moment, outside the Yaochi Sacred Land, a dense crowd of cultivators had gathered to watch the spectacle.

Many major powers of the Luotian Immortal Domain were also present, sitting back and watching the tigers fight.

"The Yaochi Sacred Land has really gotten itself into serious trouble this time. It seems Sacred Spirit Island is absolutely determined to have that Nine Aperture Sacred Spirit Stone Fetus."

A group of cultivators dressed in golden robes stood to one side, observing the situation.

They were from the Haoyang Sacred Land, itself a powerful major force in the Luotian Immortal Domain.

"What a pity. Since the era of the Queen Mother of the West, the Yaochi Sacred Land has been in decline. If they hadn't brought in the Jiang family's divine maiden Jiang Shengyi as their saintess, the situation would probably be even worse."

On the other side, a sect-master-level figure from a major power called the Taixuan Sect shook his head slightly.

"Indeed, rather than saying the Yaochi Sacred Land handpicked Jiang Shengyi to become their saintess,"

"it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Shengyi did the Yaochi Sacred Land a favor."

"Setting aside her own background from the ancient Jiang family, don't forget — who is the man behind her."

An elder from the Qingxia Cave Heaven, a major power in the Luotian Immortal Domain, spoke at length.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from the Taixuan Sect and Haoyang Sacred Land both felt a jolt in their hearts.

Although Jun Xiaoyao had already fallen, his lingering prestige remained.

With both the ancient Jiang family and Jun Xiaoyao as her backing, Jiang Shengyi was not someone an ordinary person could afford to provoke.

"Sacred Spirit Island may be a top-tier immortal power, but offending Jiang Shengyi like this — isn't that a bit unwise?" the elder from Haoyang Sacred Land asked with a puzzled look.

The elder from Qingxia Cave Heaven, seeing this, put on an air of mystery and smiled. "I did happen to hear some inside information."

"It seems the one targeting Jiang Shengyi this time is a seed-level genius from Sacred Spirit Island with an extraordinary background, known as the Little Stone Emperor."

"He is the direct offspring of a fully matured sacred spirit from Sacred Spirit Island."

"Hiss…"

Upon hearing the Qingxia Cave Heaven elder's words, the powerful figures from Haoyang Sacred Land and Taixuan Sect couldn't help but draw sharp breaths.

A fully matured sacred spirit — what did that even mean?

That was an existence on equal footing with a Great Emperor or an Ancient Sovereign.

Not to mention that at the same level, a fully matured sacred spirit still held the advantage in terms of physical body.

For they had achieved the Dao through a sacred spirit stone fetus to begin with.
