Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 156: The Remains of the Samsara Holy Spirit, Comprehending the True Meaning of Samsara, the Shock of the Prodigies from All Directions

Chapter 156 - 156: The Remains of the Samsara Holy Spirit, Comprehending the True Meaning of Samsara, the Shock of the Prodigies from All Directions

In her estimations, the forty-ninth floor was already the limit.

As for the fiftieth floor, Ji Qingyi hadn't even dared to think about it.

Jun Xiaoyao reaching the forty-ninth floor didn't surprise Ji Qingyi too much.

Just the sight of the figure Jun Xiaoyao had manifested earlier, with its back to all living beings, was enough to prove his talent and strength.

"Qingyi cannot fall behind either," Ji Qingyi said with a determined tone.

Although she was a woman, with a transcendent and detached personality, like a female immortal, she still possessed a competitive spirit.

After all, in this era of great contention, only by surpassing others could one have the possibility of attaining the Dao.

Ji Qingyi also had the heart to attain the Dao.

Her jade-like hand swept out, manifesting the divine techniques of the Human Immortal Sect, the Immortal Spirit Seal, pressing down towards the illusory figure.

Just as all the prodigies within the Heavenly Dao Tower were striving to reach the forty-ninth floor, Jun Xiaoyao had already cleared it.

He looked out and saw an ancient figure suddenly appear in the distant desert.

That figure was draped in a linen robe, covering a gaunt body.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and he strode forward.

However, the closer he got to that desolate figure, the more pressure Jun Xiaoyao felt.

At the same time, a peculiar power of samsara was pervading the air.

With every step Jun Xiaoyao took, the power of samsara intensified.

Jun Xiaoyao also noticed that his own life essence was rapidly draining away.

Now, Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why this space manifested as a desert.

Because under samsara, all things would wither and decay.

If it were anyone else here, they would probably weaken after just a few steps, their vital energy and blood declining, and their hair turning white.

But Jun Xiaoyao was different; he possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and lacked vital energy and blood the least.

It could be said that even the vital energy and blood of a young True Dragon might not compare to Jun Xiaoyao's.

One step...

Two steps...

Three steps...

The closer he got, the denser the power of samsara became, eventually multiplying manifold.

"Is this the power of a Holy Spirit? Even as mere remains, it's unapproachable," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

He knew that the true form of this Holy Spirit was Samsara Dao Gold.

He hadn't expected such terrifying power of samsara to still permeate even after its death.

In the end, Jun Xiaoyao was only a few dozen zhang away from the remains.

The power of samsara here was extremely dense.

Any other prodigy, be it Ji Qingyi or Jun Lingcang, would likely be unable to withstand it and would age rapidly.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. The trial of the fiftieth floor isn't over yet!" Jun Xiaoyao suddenly realized.

The fiftieth floor had one final test: to resist this power of samsara.

But how could the power of samsara be so easy to deal with?

Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

Suddenly, he noticed a withered sapling on the ground.

He had seen it before when he first entered this floor.

"Samsara, rebirth, annihilation, an endless cycle..." Jun Xiaoyao murmured as if in a trance.

He abruptly sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to comprehend.

Jun Xiaoyao's talent was unquestionable; even without the aid of a system, it was enough to be considered unparalleled in the current age.

Jun Xiaoyao could comprehend various divine abilities and ultimate techniques of the Jun family at a glance.

And now, inspired, he also began to comprehend.

"Samsara is not just mere silent death; to be born from death, an endless cycle—that is the true meaning of samsara."

Jun Xiaoyao fell into a state of Dao enlightenment.

The Supreme Bone in his chest began to release a brilliant radiance.

The dense power of samsara around him, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, converged towards the Supreme Bone.

Vaguely, it seemed as if a terrifying great divine ability was brewing within it.

At this moment, atop the gaunt remains draped in the linen robe, a faint, firefly-like glimmer suddenly emerged, carrying a faint soul fluctuation.

"Is he a descendant of that lineage? Truly a monstrous talent, terrifying to the extreme..."

A ripple of thought came from this firefly-like soul light.

Time passed.

Within the Heavenly Dao Tower, prodigies were successively teleported out due to failing their trials.

After all, not everyone could be like Jun Xiaoyao, clearing all levels unimpeded, like splitting bamboo.

The Yin-Yang Holy Son, Xia Lan, Hua Xiqing, and others stopped at the thirty-eighth or thirty-ninth floor.

Logically speaking, this result was already quite good.

After all, in previous openings of the Heavenly Dao Tower, prodigies who reached the fortieth floor were few and far between.

But this time, the Great Elder couldn't bring himself to be happy.

Not to mention that anomaly, Jun Xiaoyao.

Other Jun family Scions, as well as the Golden-Winged Roc King, Ye Xingyun, the Little Western Heaven Buddhist Child, and others, all performed exceptionally well.

Even the weakest of the Jun family, Jun Linglong, was on the same level as the Yin-Yang Holy Son and the others.

The other Scions had all uniformly reached the fortieth floor.

In comparison, the performance of these Holy Sons and Holy Maidens from the academy was indeed somewhat embarrassing.

When the Yin-Yang Holy Son and the others walked out in high spirits and saw Jun Xiaoyao at the very peak, their expressions simultaneously turned to stunned disbelief.

Subsequently, the Dao hearts of the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan suffered another fatal blow, and they became utterly dejected.

Hua Xiqing's spiritual eyes, however, revealed an unprecedented sense of adoration.

"The Jun Family's Divine Child is truly like a celestial being, actually creating an impossible miracle!"

The thought of Jun Xiaoyao having previously agreed to discuss the Dao with her made Hua Xiqing so thrilled she could barely keep still.

And when the Golden-Winged Roc King, Ye Xingyun, Fahai, and others came out, before they even had a chance to be complacent about their own achievements, they saw the cruel reality.

"How is this possible?" The Golden-Winged Roc King's heart could not calm down; he completely began to doubt life itself.

He had thought he could compete with Jun Xiaoyao, but now, the other party had already broken an age-old record.

This result was unacceptable to him.

The Golden-Winged Roc King had passed the forty-fifth floor, which was already considered monstrously talented, but compared to Jun Xiaoyao, he was nothing!

Sharing his feelings were Ye Xingyun and Fahai.

Their faces also froze, ashen as the bottom of a pot.

A sense of powerlessness spread through their hearts.

Within the Heavenly Dao Tower, the ones who naturally attracted the most attention were Jun Lingcang and Ji Qingyi.

One of them was the wielder of Double Pupils, the Jun family's First Scion.

The other was the Divine Maiden of the Ji family, the Holy Maiden of the Human Immortal Sect.

If not for Jun Xiaoyao's shining example preceding them, they would have been the most dazzling figures today.

What made everyone gasp was that both Jun Lingcang and Ji Qingyi had broken through the forty-eighth floor and reached the forty-ninth.

"The Jun family's First Scion is truly extraordinary and peerless."

"Indeed, I truly envy the Jun family for producing so many outstanding talents."

"The Ji family's Divine Maiden's talent is also astonishing. I wonder if they can break through to the fiftieth floor?"

"I think it's doubtful. After all, not everyone can compare to the Jun family's Divine Child. The Divine Child is simply a monstrous anomaly."

While everyone was discussing, the results came out.

The two of them indeed stopped at the forty-ninth floor.

However, this achievement was already extremely astonishing, indicating that they both possessed the aptitude to be champions of their generation.

"A pity..."

Jun Lingcang stepped out of the Heavenly Dao Tower with his hands behind his back, his eyes still covered by a cloth.

However, everyone could vaguely sense that Jun Lingcang's aura had grown stronger.

Inside the Heavenly Dao Tower, Jun Lingcang had also obtained a fortuitous encounter; his Double Pupils had undergone a great transformation.

On the other side, Ji Qingyi also emerged with light, lotus-like steps.

She gently shook her beautiful head and murmured, "That ghost-masked girl was indeed powerful and bizarre. It was too difficult to defeat her."

Then, Ji Qingyi thought of the strange phenomenon in the Heavenly Dao Tower from before.

"Could it be that Jun Xiaoyao really passed the forty-ninth floor?" Ji Qingyi subconsciously looked up.

Upon this look, her jade-like face showed a rare expression of astonishment, as if her soul had left her body.

"The fiftieth floor?!" Ji Qingyi couldn't help but cover her red lips with her jade-like hand.
