Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Inside the tall building, all the celestial prides wore expressions of surprise.

They all believed that Celestial Maiden Yuan would choose one among the four outstanding young men including Qin Zimo.

And Qin Zimo and the other three thought the same.

They were even secretly competing to distinguish themselves.

Yet the result was unexpected. Celestial Maiden Yuan chose that young man seated in the last row, who hadn't even spoken a word.

"It's the mysterious celestial pride who killed the four young saints outside the starry sky," some people remarked upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, astonished.

However, even though he slew the four young saints, it shouldn't have warranted Celestial Maiden Yuan's favor.

Qin Zimo and the other three celestial prides looked displeased.

The feeling was akin to several men wrestling for a girl, fighting overtly and covertly, exhausting all schemes and ending up bruised and battered.

In the end, the girl had already chosen someone else, someone who hadn't lifted a finger.

Who could bear this!

Seeing Celestial Maiden Yuan approaching, Lu Renjia, standing nearby, was already fueled by adrenaline.

Although Celestial Maiden Yuan wasn't there for him, the mere proximity to her was enough to excite Lu Renjia to swoon.

Among all the celestial prides present, some were surprised, some bewildered, and some envious, with their hearts sour.

Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, was the calmest person in the entire scene.

His gaze traveled from low to high, starting with Celestial Maiden Yuan's ivory jade feet, her full thighs, delicate waist, and ample bosom.

Finally, it landed on her exquisitely beautiful face.

"Why?" Jun Xiaoyao asked leisurely, his fingers tapping the armrest.

"Is a reason necessary?" Celestial Maiden Yuan smiled brightly.

"Of course it is," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

"A woman's intuition," Celestial Maiden Yuan blinked her moist eyes.

This small expression added a bit of girlish playfulness to her sacred demeanor.

Jun Xiaoyao said nothing.

He thought this maiden should already know who he was.

The Divine Maiden Workshop was not merely a place of romance but also an intelligence organization with scouts spread throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

As the courtesan of the Divine Maiden Workshop, it was understandable for Celestial Maiden Yuan to know Jun Xiaoyao's identity.

But Qin Zimo and the others didn't know.

"Who is this gentleman, attending the Fairy's dinner yet hiding his identity, isn't he disrespecting the Fairy?" Zi Tianxiao's eyes brimmed with hostility.

"Fairy, individuals of unknown origin such as him could be dangerous if sharing a room with him," the Void Saint Son also said coldly.

"Do you need me to investigate the depth of this person?" Sword Wudao from the Infinite Sword Sect suggested.

As a member of the Ancient Noble Family, Qin Zimo had a broader outlook compared to the other three.

He vaguely sensed that this young man might have some background.

Yet thinking of how the Celestial Maiden Yuan he had pursued for so long was given away to him in a single night...

Qin Zimo felt displeased.

Very displeased.

Extremely displeased.

"Who are you really, sir? Would you mind revealing your face and background? Otherwise, sharing a room with the Fairy makes me uneasy," Qin Zimo said calmly.

Jun Xiaoyao continued to sit in his chair, unmoving.

Seeing this, Qin Zimo's eyes tilted slightly as he asked, "Did you not hear what I said?"

"Are you teaching me how to act?" Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head.

"I hail from the Ancient Noble Family, Qin Family," Qin Zimo puffed his chest, speaking with an air of superiority.

"What are you, and what is your Qin Family?" Jun Xiaoyao's tone was indifferent.

The moment this was spoken, it resounded like thunder throughout the entire venue.

If previously, Celestial Maiden Yuan's choice of Jun Xiaoyao had astonished the entire audience...

Then now, Jun Xiaoyao's words were shocking the entire crowd.

Only a handful on the Ancient Road truly had the prowess to dismiss the Desolate Ancient Qin Family.

"Who is this young man? Is he boasting, or does he truly have origins?" Some cultivators looked on with bewildered eyes.

"This man is indeed arrogant, let me try him!"

Swordless of the Infinite Sword Sect trembled his body, and a streak of sword light shot directly at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao remained steady as could be.

That streak of sword light vanished into thin air.

"Indeed, this young man seems to possess a sort of magic immunity. It was evident before when he faced the four young saints," some celestial prides remarked.

"Hmph, showing off," Swordless felt a bit humiliated, as it was purely disgraceful in front of the fair maiden.

He unleashed the long sword behind him, a top-level Ancient Sacred Weapon, nearing Venerable Artifact Level.

The long sword pierced the void, carrying fierce sword qi, and aimed at Jun Xiaoyao.

Just as the long sword nearly pierced Jun Xiaoyao's forehead.

Jun Xiaoyao casually extended two fingers and caught the sword's blade.

Hiss...

All around, the sound of many gasps could be heard.

Sword Wudao from the Infinite Sword Sect was a renowned celestial pride, with his name on the Giant List.

Jun Xiaoyao flicked his wrist, sending the long sword shooting backward with unmatched force towards Swordless.

"Not good!"

Swordless's face turned aghast, attempting to dodge but failed.

His body was directly pierced by the long sword, finally pinned onto the rear wall.

Dead silence engulfed the venue!

The renowned Swordless, listed among the giants, couldn't even withstand a single move from this mysterious young man!

Further shocking was that, no matter how Swordless struggled, he couldn't extricate himself from the sword blade.

This meant the sword contained deep power of Dao Principles.

This was not something an ordinary giant celestial pride could achieve.

Qin Zimo and the other three's pupils narrowed.

But Celestial Maiden Yuan, her beautiful eyes shone brighter, like a resplendent star.

"The young master indeed is formidable."

These words sounded exceedingly irritating to Qin Zimo and the others, fueling their jealousy.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze turned cold, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.

Was Celestial Maiden Yuan using Qin Zimo and the others to probe his cultivation strength?

As expected, Qin Zimo and the other three exchanged glances and then attacked in unison.

Previously, they were competitors, but now, with Jun Xiaoyao's appearance, their rivalry had become a joke.

"What's with the riffraff trying to probe me?"

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was extremely cold; he was utterly annoyed by these nuisances.

With a gesture, mana intertwined into a gigantic palm, akin to a celestial canopy falling, Dao Principles circulating, exerting unparalleled pressure.

With Jun Xiaoyao's current cultivation, his random gestures were akin to other celestial prides wielding Great Divine Techniques.

Sensing Jun Xiaoyao's Saint Great Perfection cultivation, the blood drained from Qin Zimo and the other three's faces, turning them ghastly pale.

Jun Xiaoyao's move was genuinely aimed at crushing them!

Zi Tianxiao and the Void Saint Son fought back desperately, but they exploded into a blood mist under this giant palm, unable even to utter harsh words.

Although Qin Zimo was somewhat stronger than the other three, it wasn't a qualitative difference.

Realizing his flesh body and primordial spirit were about to crumble, Qin Zimo gritted his teeth and suddenly unleashed a damaged ancient talisman.

Upon releasing the damaged ancient talisman, Jun Xiaoyao's previously apathetic expression abruptly sharpened.

"Is that the aura of… Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman?"
