Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 137: Princess Long Ji’s Attitude, Jun Lingcang’s Warning

Chapter 137 - 137: Princess Long Ji's Attitude, Jun Lingcang's Warning

The Divine Maiden of the Ji Family was an absolutely incomparably mysterious Heaven's Chosen Daughter.

She never showed off her capabilities, never sought the limelight, and was extremely low-profile.

Forget the outside world; even within the Ji Family, more than half the people had never seen Ji Qingyi and didn't know what she looked like.

But this did not detract from Ji Qingyi's great reputation.

Because she was not only the Ji Family's Divine Maiden but also the Saintess of the Human Immortal Cult!

The Human Immortal Cult was an immensely terrifying supreme great sect in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, with profound foundations and a long heritage.

It was rumored that the Human Immortal Cult was an immortal orthodox sect established by a Remnant Immortal, containing various heaven-defying inheritances.

Ji Qingyi, as the Saintess of the Human Immortal Cult, had once gazed upon the Remnant Immortal's carvings and had cultivated many of the Human Immortal Cult's great divine abilities.

Although she rarely made a move, no one would question her strength.

Now, right after Jun Xiaoyao announced he was going to the Heavenly Dao Tower, Ji Qingyi also declared she would go.

This couldn't help but arouse suspicion.

"Could it be that the Ji Family's Divine Maiden wants to settle the score with the Jun Family's Divine Child for Ji Xuan?"

Many people were speculating.

Ji Qingyi's trip to the Heavenly Dao Tower might be, on one hand, for the opportunities within the tower.

On the other hand, it might also be to reclaim face for their family's Ji Xuan.

Just as the entire Immortal Domain was stirred up by the news of the Heavenly Dao Tower...

Hong Province, Huntian Mountain Range.

Compared to its previous bustling popularity, the Huntian Mountain Range was now noticeably deserted, with far fewer people.

Because everyone knew that the Jun Family's Divine Child couldn't be bothered to accept the battle and wouldn't be coming at all.

If a good show couldn't be staged, naturally, there would be no audience.

"Damn it, that human brat actually dares to show such contempt for Her Highness the Princess!"

Within the Dragon Palace, the Four Great Dragon Generals were filled with indignation, their eyes spewing intense killing intent.

If not for Jun Xiaoyao's special status and powerful background, they probably would have captured him long ago.

Xiao Chen's face was also very unsightly.

He had originally thought he would soon see Jun Xiaoyao's demise.

Who would have thought Jun Xiaoyao would pull such a stunt?

In contrast, Princess Long Ji, seated on the golden throne, her peerless face veiled in radiance, was very calm.

"The more guilty one feels, the more they like to create such gimmicks. His actions precisely prove his inner fear of this Princess," Princess Long Ji's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Then what should we do next? Are we just going to let it go?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Rest assured, this Princess will not go back on what I promised you. Currently, my strength is far from its peak; I am still acclimating to the aura of heaven and earth," Princess Long Ji stated.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath.

Princess Long Ji had yet to recover her peak strength?

"Hmph, how would an ant like you know the capabilities of Her Highness the Princess? When she broke the seal, her ancient aura was incompatible with the aura of heaven and earth. She needs time to acclimate before she can recover."

The Azure Dragon General looked at Xiao Chen and sneered.

Xiao Chen was truly shocked.

If Princess Long Ji truly recovered to her peak, how terrifying would her strength be? Thinking about it now, although Jun Lingcang hadn't used his Double Pupils, Princess Long Ji had even more so not displayed her full strength.

"Once I have finished acclimating, this Princess will personally act to end the life of that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body," Princess Long Ji said faintly.

A look of joy appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes.

"Jun Xiaoyao, you will ultimately not escape the fate of defeat and death!" Xiao Chen revealed a ruthless smile.

...

Within the Jun Family's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was soaking in a spirit spring, with Jun Linglong massaging his shoulders beside him.

Jun Xiaoyao was no cultivation maniac. After emerging from seclusion, he also needed time to relax.

This Vermillion Bird Spirit Spring was something he had Bai Yu'er transfer from the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom. Soaking in it from time to time was quite comfortable.

At this moment, Jun Xuehuang's voice came from outside.

"Divine Child, Jun Lingcang is here."

"Oh, has that cousin of mine finally come to see me?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

That Jun Lingcang was not only his cousin but also possessed Double Pupils.

Jun Xiaoyao had almost thought another drama of intra-clan conflict and bone-digging was about to unfold.

But looking at it now, this nominal cousin of his seemed to be quite upright.

He had even faced Princess Long Ji in his stead earlier.

Even for this point alone, he had to meet him.

Jun Xiaoyao rose, and Jun Linglong helped him change into white robes.

In a hall within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Jun Lingcang stood indifferently.

Before long, Jun Xiaoyao arrived.

Looking at the handsome young man before him, his eyes covered with a black cloth, Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He was quite certain now that Jun Lingcang's Double Pupils were indeed in a period of transformation.

Although sealed by the black cloth, the faint wisp of aura leaking out was still quite astonishing.

"Cousin Lingcang, this is the first time we've met, isn't it?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly and had Jun Linglong serve tea.

"No need. I just came to tell you one thing," Jun Lingcang said.

"I wish to hear the details," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

"That Princess Long Ji's strength is far from her peak. Even if I had used my Double Pupils then, I'm afraid I couldn't have truly posed a life-threatening danger to her. So, I came to remind you not to underestimate Ancient Freaks," Jun Lingcang stated.

"Many thanks for Cousin's warning." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, though his expression remained unconcerned.

Jun Lingcang only knew how strong Princess Long Ji was, but he didn't know how strong he was.

Jun Lingcang paused, then said, "I will also go to the Heavenly Dao Tower."

"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly.

There seemed to be a hint of contention and comparison in those words.

"Heh, then I hope Cousin reaps some rewards," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"By the way... Ah Jiu... is she... alright?" Jun Lingcang's tone was slightly unsteady.

It had been a very, very long time since he had seen Ah Jiu.

It seemed that after Ah Jiu refused to become his master, she had never appeared before him again.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was a bit peculiar.

This tone didn't seem right.

"She's fine. Cousin, you..." Jun Xiaoyao started to say something but then hesitated.

"Cousin Xiaoyao, sometimes I truly envy you. Farewell..." Jun Lingcang let out a deep breath and, without hesitation, turned and left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his state of mind would become unstable, and he would become too jealous of Jun Xiaoyao.

After Jun Lingcang left, Jun Linglong came forward and told Jun Xiaoyao some things about Jun Lingcang and Ah Jiu.

"So that's how it is. He likes Ah Jiu?" Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless.

Ah Jiu was from his father's generation.

Although she was peerlessly beautiful and her looks were unmatched, her age was presumably not young.

"A woman three years older holds a gold brick," they say.

A woman three thousand years older... holds three thousand gold bricks?

"Young Master, for us cultivators, age is not a problem, you know," Jun Linglong's eyelashes fluttered as she said softly.

She was also more than ten years older than Jun Xiaoyao.

But if Jun Xiaoyao was willing, she would absolutely not refuse.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, muttering to himself in his heart.

"Unfortunately, Cousin, I can only apologize to you."

"Because what's mine, will always be mine. And what's not mine, will also become mine." A faint smile touched Jun Xiaoyao's lips.

His protector could only protect him!

...

Half a month later.

Factions from all over the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain began to make their moves, all heading towards the Saintly Spirit Academy.

Because in a few days, it would be the day the Heavenly Dao Tower opened.

On this day, Jun Xiaoyao mounted the Nine-Headed Lion, followed by Jun Linglong, Jun Zhangjian, and others.

On the other side, Jun Lingcang also rode his Qilin exotic beast, followed by Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu.

They were setting off for the Saintly Spirit Academy!
