Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Outside Hangu Pass, deep within the starry sky.

Glancing back at Hangu Pass, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze and let out a soft sigh.

On the Ultimate Ancient Road, his troubles would not be few.

Traveling with Jiang Shengyi and others might inadvertently affect them.

Moreover, entering the Ultimate Ancient Road requires crossing the Dragon Gate.

At that time, it is uncertain whether they will end up in the same place.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao had long planned to travel alone.

"I'm sorry, Shengyi, Luo Li, and everyone, I'll be on the road ahead, waiting for you..."

Jun Xiaoyao knew, whether it be the Jun Family's rankings or Jiang Shengyi and others.

They are all stubborn, with their own persistence.

Walking the Ancient Road with Jun Xiaoyao, although they could gain protection without any life-threatening danger, might not be a good thing for them.

Everyone needs to undergo trials.

Jun Xiaoyao slightly shook his head, calming his emotions.

He was never one prone to lamenting the passing of spring or autumn.

"Keep moving forward, my path is still long." Jun Xiaoyao was relieved, slightly smiling.

His contest with the Heavenly Dao has only just begun!

...

The desolate cosmos seemed endless.

It had been several months since Jun Xiaoyao left Hangu Pass.

He had been traversing the starry sky.

Having obtained the complete Void Book, Jun Xiaoyao was extremely proficient in the Space Dao.

Combining the Space Dao with the Kunpeng Extreme Speed allowed Jun Xiaoyao's speed to be dozens of times faster than some Starry Sky Flying Ships.

"I've already traveled far from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm Emperor's Road, and yet, I still haven't reached the Dragon Gate?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Along the way, he recalled the story of Laozi leaving through Hangu Pass.

The final pass on the Emperor's Road is also called Hangu Pass.

Could it be that Laozi of Earth once traveled this starry Emperor's Road, leaving behind an elusive legend?

Gently shaking his head, Jun Xiaoyao set aside his thoughts.

At this moment, faint voices came from ahead.

Jun Xiaoyao looked over and saw densely packed proud cultivators traversing the starry sky ahead.

There were all kinds of races, wearing strange clothing with different auras.

Clearly, these cultivators were not all beings from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Many had also come from the Emperor's Roads of other Immortal Realms.

Further away, there was an immense Bronze Gate.

This Bronze Gate, tens of thousands of zhang tall, stood deep within the cosmic sky, exuding an ancient, primordial aura.

Carved on the surface of the Bronze Gate were vivid True Dragons, which, under the refraction of starlight, seemed almost alive.

"This is the Dragon Gate." Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.

The Dragon Gate references the legend of a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

Those celestial prides who could walk the Emperor's Road to reach the Dragon Gate were outstanding individuals among men.

They, like carps, have a chance to transform into dragons if they cross this Dragon Gate.

Of course, whether they become dragons or end up as corpses buried on the Ancient Road depends on their strength and luck.

At this moment, celestial prides who reached the Dragon Gate continued entering one by one.

For each cultivator who entered, the Dragon Gate would light up with a burst of Dao brilliance.

Some could invoke several dozen zhang of Dao brilliance, while others could invoke several hundred zhang.

The Dragon Gate is not just a portal to the Ultimate Ancient Road.

It is also an ancient artifact with the ability to initially assess the celestial prides' talents and strengths.

The varying degrees of Dao brilliance depend on the different levels of talent.

Generally, celestial prides at the Little Giant level can invoke a thousand zhang of Dao brilliance.

Many celestial prides were at the Dragon Gate, not in a hurry to enter but evaluating those who entered.

"Tsk, tsk, I heard recently that a Saint Heir from the Gulan Holy Sect entered the Dragon Gate, invoking five thousand zhang of Dao brilliance."

"What, five thousand zhang? Isn't that equivalent to five Little Giants?" a cultivator expressed with amazement.

"What's that? Have you heard of Brahma, the reincarnation of the Ancient Buddha, from the Western Heaven Sect in the Profound Celestial Immortal Realm?"

"Yes, I've heard, that Brahma was terrifying to the extreme, managing to invoke twenty thousand zhang of Dao brilliance, accompanied by anomaly Buddha Light, truly the taboo among taboos..."

Discussing the Forbidden Celestial Pride, many cultivators showed a sense of awe in their eyes.

Invoking ten thousand zhang of brilliance was enough to be considered a Forbidden Celestial Pride.

Twenty thousand zhang meant being the taboo among taboos.

Hearing the discussions of these celestial prides, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained as calm as water.

"Indeed, in this era of major strife, all kinds of demons have emerged, but... that's all there is to it." Jun Xiaoyao slightly shook his head, unconcerned.

His Invincible Dao Heart remained unmoved.

Even the Heavens are beneath his notice, let alone these young celestial prides.

"Eh, who is that person, cloaked in Immortal Radiance with a profound aura..." some cultivators also noticed Jun Xiaoyao.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao's demeanor was too transcendent, surrounded by Immortal Radiance and anomalies, making him stand out prominently.

Anyone could guess that he was no simple character.

"Could he be another Little Giant?"

"The direction he's coming from seems to be the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm?"

"Coming from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, of late the news from there has spread across the entire Ancient Road."

"That rare anomaly from the ages, rumored to be the Divine Son of the Ancient Desolate Family, the Jun Family."

At the mention of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, many cultivators from other Immortal Realms began speaking fervently.

There weren't many celestial prides present from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Most of them gathered at Hangu Pass and had yet to set off on their journey.

Jun Xiaoyao was among the first celestial prides from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm to step onto the Ultimate Ancient Road.

"Who is that noble young man, what remarkable bearing." Even some female cultivators' eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Many eyes fell on Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, was accustomed to it. His expression remained indifferent as he walked towards the Dragon Gate.

"I wonder how many zhang of Dao brilliance the celestial pride from the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm will evoke."

"At the very least, a Little Giant of a thousand zhang level, that aura is too profound."

Jun Xiaoyao's actions undoubtedly attracted attention from all sides.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped with half a foot into the Dragon Gate.

In an instant, the previously silent Dragon Gate began to rumble and tremble.

Dao brilliance erupted, rapidly surging to ten thousand zhang!

"What, a ten thousand zhang Forbidden Celestial Pride!"

All around, celestial prides from all Immortal Realms of the Emperor's Road were simultaneously shocked to the core seeing this spectacle.

Even for a Forbidden Celestial Pride, invoking ten thousand zhang of Dao brilliance with a single step was impossible.

Unless...

This person was the taboo among taboos!

Jun Xiaoyao continued to step forward, placing one foot into the Dragon Gate.

The Dao brilliance emanating from the Dragon Gate explosively surged like a geyser.

Twenty thousand zhang!

Fifty thousand zhang!

One hundred thousand zhang!

Two hundred thousand zhang!

Finally, it directly surged to a million zhang!

An incomparably radiant pillar of light soared from the Dragon Gate, illuminating the entire desolate black cosmos!

The entire Ultimate Ancient Road could see this radiant brilliance!

All celestial prides outside the Dragon Gate were stunned.

Ten thousand zhang was a Forbidden Celestial Pride.

Twenty thousand zhang was a taboo among taboos.

So what did one million zhang represent?

However, before these celestial prides could recover from the shock.

Jun Xiaoyao's other foot stepped into the Dragon Gate again.

At this time, the Dao brilliance emanating from the Dragon Gate could no longer be precisely measured.

It seemed to be illuminating three thousand cosmos!

Simultaneously, the vividly carved True Dragons on the Dragon Gate began to awaken.

Eventually, an entire hundred dragon-shaped shadows emerged from the Dragon Gate, roaring and shaking the entire Ultimate Ancient Road!

It was as if they were saluting the birth of a king!
