Chapter 54 - 54: Jiang Shengyi Arrives, Ancient Saint Armament, Heaven Observing Mirror
At the same time, on the other side of the Taihuang Forest.
Azure Scale Flying Dragons flapped their wings in the air.
On the leading flying dragon, Long Bichi stood proudly.
She wore azure armor that enveloped her slender and supple, delicate body, her face beautiful yet heroic.
Two azure dragon horns protruded from her hair, like carved azure jade, faintly glowing.
"The secret trove is finally about to open. This Dragon Lady wants to see if that Jun family Divine Son has three heads and six arms," Long Bichi's heroic eyebrows rose.
She did not underestimate Jun Xiaoyao.
But she also didn't believe Jun Xiaoyao was invincible.
After all, in this great era of contention, prodigies rise together, and various kings vie for supremacy. Who was qualified to call themselves invincible?
Since there was no one, then Jun Xiaoyao couldn't possibly be invincible either.
Long Bichi asked herself, even if she couldn't suppress Jun Xiaoyao, she could at least retreat unscathed.
And over here, besides the Ancestral Dragon Nest's Long Bichi.
There was also the young king of the top-tier Primordial Royal Clan, the Nine-Headed Lion Clan.
There were powerful existences from the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow Clan.
Nantian City.
Jun Xiaoyao and the others were preparing to set off.
They stepped out into the void, immediately attracting gazes from all around.
There was no helping it. With Jun Xiaoyao's current popularity, as long as his identity was exposed and he was recognized, wherever he went, he would attract all eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind.
And just at this moment, a soft female voice, like an oriole emerging from a valley, came.
"Xiaoyao, it's been a long time."
Hearing this voice, Jun Xiaoyao paused his steps and turned to look.
A group of people arrived, riding a flying boat through the void. The leading young woman in snow-white clothes had her black hair dancing, her robes fluttering, like an immortal fairy descended to the mortal world.
Her immortal face was translucent, seemingly radiating light. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains tinged with黛 (dark-green/black pigment used for eyebrows), her eyes held the essence of poetry, exceptionally beautiful, with an otherworldly, refined quality.
Perhaps because she possessed the Innate Dao Womb, she was naturally attuned to the Dao, giving people an even more incomparably harmonious and natural feeling.
If this woman wasn't Jiang Shengyi, who else could it be?
"It's that divine maiden of the Jiang family..." Many people's gazes also shifted.
Many male cultivators' eyes surged with amazement, slightly dazed.
"Young..." Jun Xiaoyao had just started to speak.
Jiang Shengyi let out a light hum, as if reminding him of something.
"Sister Shengyi," Jun Xiaoyao said helplessly, changing his address.
"That's more like it." Jiang Shengyi smiled, her pearly teeth translucent.
Although she was much more mature than Jiang Luoli, she was ultimately still a woman in the prime of her youth. Her personality wasn't too mature or old-fashioned.
Jun Xiaoyao hadn't expected that the one coming from the Jiang family would actually be Jiang Shengyi, not Jiang Luoli.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's expression, Jiang Shengyi teased, "What, disappointed that you didn't see Luoli?"
"No," Jun Xiaoyao said truthfully.
He didn't care about that short-legged little girl.
"She's currently being forced to cultivate in the family. She couldn't come to see you this time, which made her quite upset," Jiang Shengyi said with a smile.
"Then let her cultivate well. By the way, Sister Shengyi, are you accompanying us on this trip?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Jiang Shengyi was, after all, his mother's distant cousin. If possible, he wouldn't mind taking care of her a little.
"Truly a little devil in a small body. Who exactly should be taking care of whom?" Jiang Shengyi gave Jun Xiaoyao a charming eye-roll.
Clearly, it should be her protecting Jun Xiaoyao, right?
"Alright then, I'll have to trouble Sister Shengyi then." Jun Xiaoyao didn't care; anyway, he didn't need anyone's protection.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao casually chatting and laughing with Jiang Shengyi, all the male compatriots present showed looks of envy.
And those female cultivators envied Jiang Shengyi for being able to converse with Jun Xiaoyao.
For a moment, everyone present didn't know who to envy.
And just at this moment, the voice of the Dao Extremity Heavenly Sect's old Daoist resounded above the entire Nantian City.
"Everyone, this time Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove opens. The immortal orthodoxies will seal the heavens and lock the earth. Older generation cultivators are not allowed to enter!"
"This secret trove is extremely perilous. Those with weak strength, if you know what's good for you, retreat, and you may still preserve your lives!"
After the voice fell.
A brilliant light projection soared into the sky, suspended above the Taihuang Forest.
It was a massive mirror, its surface like a pool of clear blue water.
"That's our Jun family's ancient Saint armament, the Heaven Observing Mirror!" Jun Zhangjian said.
The Heaven Observing Mirror could reflect the景象 (scenery/phenomena) of heaven and earth.
Jun Xiaoyao knew this was to prevent prodigies like them from these immortal orthodoxies from directly perishing within the secret trove.
If there was danger then, with the Heaven Observing Mirror, they could also intervene and provide assistance in time.
"Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said with a flick of his sleeve.
"Yes!"
Behind him, Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Wanjie, and Jun Linglong, the four of them, nodded and responded, like respectful attendants and maidservants.
Jiang Shengyi, at the side, also followed with some Jiang family prodigies.
Surprise also flickered in her eyes.
"It seems this nephew of mine is beginning to establish his authority."
...
While Jun Xiaoyao and the others were heading towards the Taihuang Forest.
The entire Nantian City stirred.
Although the old Daoist had previously warned that the Yuan Tian Secret Trove was very dangerous.
It still couldn't stop the fervent hearts of these cultivators.
That was the secret trove of a Supreme expert.
Casually obtaining any single fortuitous encounter could help them rise.
After all, these cultivators weren't born into major powers; all resources and opportunities had to be found by themselves.
Ji Xuan and others from the Ji family also set off with a group of prodigies.
At the gate of Nantian City, Xiao Chen, wearing a cloak and hood, looked up at the departing backs of Jun Xiaoyao and the others, a hint of hatred and determination in his eyes.
"Jun Xiaoyao, just you wait..."
Xiao Chen also rushed towards the Taihuang Forest.
And behind him, Wu Mingyue, hidden in the shadows, also followed.
She also didn't feel at ease letting Xiao Chen train alone in such a dangerous Yuan Tian Secret Trove.
At the same time, on the side of the Primordial Imperial Clans, Long Bichi, Nine-Headed Lion, and Sky-Swallowing Sparrow also set out in unison.
The entire surrounding area of the Taihuang Forest was completely boiling!
Nantian City was only a thousand li away from Taihuang Forest.
In just a quarter of an hour, Jun Xiaoyao and the others arrived outside the Taihuang Forest.
Jun Xiaoyao looked out. An endless forest, with strange grey mist spreading, was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere.
And in the deepest part of the forest, a Supreme aura permeated, and phenomena were visible.
Undoubtedly, that was the location of Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove.
Only those who possessed a Yuan Tian Supreme Token could truly enter the deepest part of the secret trove.
However, other people could also pick up some scraps on the periphery.
Therefore, all the cultivators, at this moment, rushed towards the Taihuang Forest in unison.
And at the same moment, within the Taihuang Forest, ancient remnant species also roared, and pure-blooded creatures bellowed in anger.
They were all contaminated by the grey mist, berserk existences, their combat power even stronger than usual.
Soon, various battles erupted.
And at this time, Ji Xuan of the Ji family also arrived. He glanced at Jun Xiaoyao from afar.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed to sense it, turned his head, and also saw Ji Xuan.
"He should be that Little Saint of the Ji family," Jun Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.
However, Jun Zhangjian, beside him, gritted his teeth slightly, his expression somewhat gloomy.
"Hmph, he once relied on his higher realm to defeat me by a few moves, and then he went around proclaiming that he had defeated a Jun family Sequence."
Jun Zhangjian said coldly, feeling very displeased in his heart.
"Oh, so there was such a thing," Jun Xiaoyao said.
His attention, however, was focused on Ji Xuan's right arm.
The hand bone of a Saint King, hmm...
Should he snatch it over or not?
