Chapter 43

Although Jun Xiaoyao looked composed, he actually felt quite surprised.

He didn’t expect the system to update for a new check-in location.

Nevertheless, Panwu Hill was apparently different from the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian.

Panwu Hill was a secret area privately owned by the Panwu Celestial Dynasty. How would they let outsiders enter?

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “Grandpa, the Panwu Celestial Dynasty will let other people get in their secret area, right?”

Jun Zhantian said with authority, “Huh, you have a point. However, nothing is absolute. I’m only letting you know that this path exists. Even if they won’t grant you access, it shouldn’t be that big of a problem if you can force your way in. It’s for your own future after all.”

“Let’s talk about this later.” Jun Xiaoyao didn’t know how to respond at the moment.

It seemed to him that the Jun family was aggressive and assertive by nature.

Nevertheless, Jun Xiaoyao still preferred to solve such matters on his own if possible.

Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself, “The Supreme Emperor Panwu also has the Sacred Body of the Ancients. Maybe I can avoid detours or even find a shortcut if I can get some information there.”

The Sacred Body of the Ancients was extremely rare; only a few people in each era had it.

People who proved their worth and became emperors were even more remarkable.

Not everyone had innate talent and incredible luck like Jun Xiaoyao, who broke the ten sets of shackles upon birth.

It might’ve been easier to cultivate the Sacred Body of the Ancients at the time of the Supreme Emperor Panwu, but it was definitely much harder to achieve the Accomplished Sacred Body of the Ancients.

Jun Xiaoyao pondered to himself, “Panwu Hill, huh? I should certainly stop by if I ever get the chance in the future.”

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao stayed in the Heavenly Emperor Palace to cultivate.

He had a premonition that the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian was very likely to open in the next couple of years.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao needed to keep increasing his strength before the time occurs.

…

A year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Jun Xiaoyao was only eleven years old, but he looked more like a 15-year-old teenager.

He had a tall and slender built with an elegant appearance. People might’ve felt inferior about themselves just by looking at him. It would’ve been as if their stares would desecrate him.

During the year, Jun Xiaoyao reached the perfection of the Celestial Bridge Stage. It didn’t seem like much of an improvement.

However, the main reason for that was that he spent most of his energy on both cultivating methods and Abhijna.

He had finished mastering the second movement of the Sword Chant of the Immortal Slayer. Even the Eighteenth Ancestor would be impressed by his remarkable speed.

After absorbing an abundance of divine essence, the Bones of Supremacy transformed again into the full Ultimate Abhijna: Heavenly Hand.

It was the completed version of the Light of Tribulation.

On top of that, Jun Xiaoyao had fully digested the Dragon Essence. The potent Qi and blood of the Dragon Clan helped Jun Xiaoyao activate another twenty thousand granules of the giant elephant.

As of now, he had awoken seventy thousand granules of the giant elephant; that equaled 700 million pounds of force.

That’s not yet even accounting for the capability of the Sacred Body of the Ancients.

Jun Xiaoyao had been exerting the strength of the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force. The original power of the Sacred Body of the Ancients was mostly used to keep his body unscathed.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao would become even more intimidating if he utilized the power of the Sacred Body of the Ancients.

Along with that, Jun Xiaoyao also learned from the Dragon Essence the Severing Dragon Claw, Dragon Fist, Sky Prison of the Veritable Dragon, and many other useful skills from the Lair of Zulong.

The only downside for him was that the Dragon Essence didn’t contain the Ultimate Abhijna of the Veritable Dragon.

“Ugh, cultivating by myself is starting to get boring. Now I’m starting to miss Xiao Chen…” Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

He wondered if Xiao Chen had improved at all by now.

Jun Xiaoyao could almost see a vast field of crops waiting to be harvested.

…

Kun State was one of the three thousand mystical states in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.

The Kun State was a remote area with infertile soil. The bandits tyrannized the area while the demonic beasts ran amuck. It was impossible to live there.

Since it seemed to be abandoned, the state wasn’t occupied by any major group.

However, the Kun State also became a notable place to practice precisely because it was fraught with danger.

Many young disciples of mystic orthodoxies liked to come to the Kun State to cultivate.

At that moment, inside of a perilous mountain in the Kun State…

“Sky-Tearing Hand of the Blue Dragon!”

With a furious bellow, a silhouette that looked half dragon and half human spread its dragon wings. His two hands transformed into claws as they stretched out.

Hundreds of rays of light instantly shone brilliantly before turning into a pair of hands that could tear through the sky. The hands then ripped apart a demonic beast in the Unifying Stage.

The demonic beast’s flesh and blood sprayed all over and rained down.

The half-dragon, half-human creature tucked his wings into his back and smoothed the blue scales covering his body. It turned out to be a young man with a handsome face: Xiao Chen.

It had been three years since Xiao Chen was humiliated and kicked out of the Jun family by Jun Xiaoyao.

He had grown from a teenager to a young man.

Although Jun Xiaoyao destroyed Xiao Chen’s meridians and muscles, it was a blessing in disguise for Xiao Chen.

He had been cultivating the Guide to Dragon Transformation in Blue Sky, having currently reached the middle-level of the Celestial Bridge Stage. He could even slaughter a demonic beast in the Unifying Stage after acquiring the Blue Dragon Transformation.

“Not bad. You can reach the fourth level of the Guide to Dragon Transformation in Blue Sky in a few years. You’re truly worthy of being the crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon.”

The shadow of an old man appeared next to Xiao Chen. He wore a blue dragon robe and had dragon horns growing on his head. It was the partial spirit of Master Blue Dragon, the grand patriarch of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon.

He looked at Xiao Chen with great appreciation.

The Guide to Dragon Transformation in Blue Sky was extremely difficult to understand. Even the old man had spent so much time cultivating back then.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen had been making progress at a much faster rate than the old man did.

If everything went well, it was safe to assume that Xiao Chen would become a prominent figure within the three thousand mystical states in the future.

Nonetheless, Xiao Chen was not pleased to hear Master Blue Dragon’s praise. Instead, his expression seemed hateful and bitter.

“Life is full of ups and downs. I once told Jun Xiaoyao that we should have another fight in three years, but he thought I was joking! Three years have gone by now. I’ll show Jun Xiaoyao which of us is truly joking now!”

Xiao Chen was confident and feverish. It was as if he already saw himself bringing Jun Xiaoyao to his knees.

He also wanted to make that b*tch Bai Yu’er pay for what she did.

Some noises came from the distance while Xiao Chen was fantasizing about his triumph.

“Xiao Chen, someone is here. Be careful,” the Master Blue Dragon said to Xiao Chen before returning to the Panlong Ring.

Xiao Chen focused his attention in the direction of the noise and moved carefully.

Upon closer inspection, he was surprised.

It was a woman wearing a silk dress and a white veil covering her face. It seemed she was being chased by a group of bandits.

They were the infamous Evil Wolf Bandits active in the Kun State.

The leader of the bandits sneered, “Hehe, why don’t you keep running, beautiful? No one has escaped from the Evil Wolf Bandits in the Kun State so far.”

He was also in the Unifying Stage.

The woman with the veil was cursing quietly to herself in frustration. “D*mn it. I can’t use my power without being noticed. If they knew where I am, they would take me back again.”

She snuck out without anyone knowing. If she used any of the techniques she learned there, her mystic guardian would find out that she had escaped.

“Keep screaming, beautiful. No one will help you even if you scream your heart out,” the head of the bandits laughed maliciously.

Just then, a person rushed out and shouted, “Release that woman!”
