SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1140 - 1140 Reunion with an Old Friend

After returning to the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao also saw many familiar faces from the past.

For example, his first handmaiden, Jun Linglong.

Upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, she was moved to tears.

There was also Bai Yu'er and Su Ziqiong.

And Nalan Ruoxi and Jun Ying'er, whom he had brought back from the ten lands of the lower realm.

The former first princess of the Martial God Dynasty, Wu Mingyue, also appeared at the first opportunity upon learning of Jun Xiaoyao's return, overjoyed beyond words.

These people from the past, regardless of what stories they had shared with Jun Xiaoyao, whether happy or unhappy.

After so much time had passed, everything had been let go.

These women had never asked for anything from Jun Xiaoyao.

As long as they could stay in the Jun family and occasionally catch a glimpse of him, they were content.

For the rest of their lives, they would never fall for any other man.

Because one glimpse of Xiaoyao ruins you for life.

For these women, all Jun Xiaoyao could offer in return was a smile and an embrace.

But that was enough to make them weep with joy, moved to tears by their own happiness.

……

The news of Jun Xiaoyao's return to the Wasteland Immortal Domain spread throughout the entire realm in a short time, just as expected.

For a moment, the whole Wasteland Immortal Domain was in an uproar.

Countless beings made their way to the Imperial Prefecture, hoping to catch a glimpse of the young hero who had put an end to the calamity of the foreign realm.

The Jun family also held a grand banquet in celebration of Jun Xiaoyao's return, to welcome him home.

Every faction in the Wasteland Immortal Domain, regardless of their relationship with the Jun family, sent representatives to attend and brought generous gifts.

The Jiang family also came, including Jun Xiaoyao's maternal grandfather Jiang Daoxu, who was overjoyed.

Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli were also reunited with their family, and were deeply moved.

Members of the Jun Emperor Court also arrived.

After all, their lord, Jun Xiaoyao, had returned.

Powerhouses from the ancient immortal races came as well, such as Lixian of the Beauty Clan and others.

The four great Profound Venerables of the Bronze Immortal Palace — the Old Blind Man, the Lame Man, Fang Xiuniang, and the Mangy Parrot — also appeared.

The Jun Xiaoyao who had once seemed so incredibly weak in their eyes had now grown to a level they could no longer ignore.

All they could do was let out a sigh of admiration.

There was also the Medusa Queen of the Snake People Clan, Bi Ling, and others.

Xia Bingyun, Xia Chuqing, and others from the Xia family of the Ten Thousand Clans Business Alliance.

Wu Hu, the last Holy Body of the Ancient Holy Temple, Ning Chen, Little Xuan Xuan, and others.

Apart from Jun Xiaoyao, Wu Hu could be considered another Ancient Holy Body.

After being rescued by Jun Xiaoyao, Wu Hu had also become a core figure in the Jun Emperor Court.

As the former last Holy Body, Wu Hu's current strength had reached the level of a Creation Divine Sovereign.

Not that he had cultivated so quickly on his own — rather, he had previously been suppressed and tormented by the Tyrant Body lineage for so long that his cultivation had been unable to advance.

Later, Jun Xiaoyao had also bestowed upon him fifty drops of Holy Body essence blood — the essence blood of a perfect Holy Body that had broken through ten shackles.

Wu Hu had not yet reached the point of breaking through ten shackles himself.

But his current strength was such that he would likely find no match among the seven realms of the Supreme.

Jun Xiaoyao held Wu Hu in high regard.

After all, he was the only other last Holy Body of the Ancient Holy Temple besides himself.

Jun Xiaoyao believed that Wu Hu had the potential to become a Great Perfection Holy Body.

When that day came, he would also play a very important role in suppressing chaos and calamity.

After all, the Holy Body lineage was born to face tribulations.

After that, Yan Rumeng also arrived.

She was originally the divine maiden of the Demon God Palace and had returned to the Wasteland Immortal Domain earlier.

The Nine-Headed Lion also came, leaping about excitedly at the sight of Jun Xiaoyao.

Nothing like the majestic Nine-Headed Lion it was supposed to be — more like a husky.

"Master, wuwu, I can be your mount again."

At that moment, a small cyan bird broke out in a cold sweat — it was none other than the Wind Riding King.

Were even mounts engaging in cutthroat competition these days?

The Wind Riding King's eye twitched. The competition for the mount position had gotten this fierce.

"What makes you qualified to be Master's mount?" the cyan bird, that is, the Wind Riding King, said in human tongue.

"What the hell, a scruffy little bird dares to look down on this lion lord?" All nine heads of the Nine-Headed Lion showed expressions of contempt.

This drove the Wind Riding King a little crazy.

He was a quasi-emperor, for goodness' sake!

This was truly the most tragic quasi-emperor in history.

"Alright." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.

What a pair of characters.

Soon after, the grand banquet began, and everyone was in high spirits.

The vast majority of factions could only eat at the outdoor flowing banquet tables.

Those who could enter the inner banquet of the Jun family were either top-tier major powers or factions absorbed into the Jun Emperor Court.

Among the crowd, an extraordinarily beautiful woman also arrived, gazing at Jun Xiaoyao with an expression full of infatuation and admiration.

She was none other than that nameless background character, the princess of the Great Shang Dynasty.

She had admired Jun Xiaoyao ever since the banquet at age ten, and that feeling had never changed.

But the Great Shang Princess remained alone to this day.

After all, one glimpse of Xiaoyao ruins you for life — that was no empty saying.

Of course, there were many other women like her.

Jun Xiaoyao glanced over at the Great Shang Princess.

Though she had little presence, and he didn't even know her name.

But she was someone he had seen since the banquet at age ten.

Jun Xiaoyao walked over to the Great Shang Princess.

"Di, Divine Son……" The Great Shang Princess was overwhelmed by the unexpected attention, her cheeks flushed crimson, stumbling over her words.

"If I recall correctly, the Great Shang Dynasty has already joined the Jun Emperor Court, hasn't it?" Jun Xiaoyao said gently.

"Yes, it is the honor of our Great Shang Dynasty to serve the Divine Son's Jun Emperor Court. And, Divine Son, I am no longer a princess." the Great Shang Princess said.

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

"I am the new empress of the Great Shang Dynasty."

The Great Shang Princess — no, it should be the Great Shang Empress — said.

"Is that so, congratulations." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

The Great Shang Empress's jade face turned crimson, and she nearly fainted from happiness.

At this point, anyone who could exchange even a word or two with Jun Xiaoyao was absolutely supremely honored — something that would make countless people envious if spoken of.

"By the way, I still don't know your name." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Even a background character deserved a name.

The Great Shang Empress showed a shy expression and said, "Divine Son, my name is……"

However, before she could finish, Jiang Luoli pulled Jun Xiaoyao away, saying that Jiang Rou needed to speak with him about something important.

The Great Shang Empress stood there in a daze, her red lips parted, momentarily speechless.

We still do not know the Great Shang Empress's true name.

On the other side, Jiang Luoli pulled Jun Xiaoyao to a side hall.

He found Jiang Shengyi was also there.

But Jiang Rou wore a stern expression.

Jun Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, thinking Jiang Rou was blaming him for taking her little aunt away.

But then Jiang Rou said in all seriousness, "Xiaoyao, let me ask you — when are you going to settle your personal affairs?"

"You're like Wuhui, going out to make your mark in the world, and I don't object to that."

"But you have to carry on the Jun family line and give me grandchildren!"

Jiang Rou's words made Jun Xiaoyao feel a little embarrassed.

When it came to urging marriage, parents everywhere were the same.

But he glanced at Jiang Luoli, then at Jiang Shengyi, who wore a shy expression.

This time, he would not run away like before.

"Mother, I've already made up my mind — let's find a time to get engaged first."

Jiang Rou was stunned at first, then stared at Jun Xiaoyao in astonishment.

Was this really the same Jun Xiaoyao who had always been so indifferent toward matters of the heart?

"Xiaoyao, you've finally come around!"

Jiang Rou was completely surprised, but also absolutely delighted.

"I've thought it through. Shengyi sister and Luoli are the ones I want by my side." Jun Xiaoyao said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou was overjoyed, and her eyes grew red.

Jiang Luoli was the daughter-in-law she had personally chosen.

Jiang Shengyi was also a wonderful woman.

"Wonderful, Luoli has always been the daughter-in-law I had in mind."

"And Shengyi too — truth be told, I've long wanted to bring the two of you together, so you could give me a little Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus grandchild." Jiang Rou said happily.

"Sis, what are you saying?" Jiang Shengyi was overcome with shyness, her snow-white, radiant face flushed completely red, as brilliant as an evening glow.

"Still calling me sis — don't worry, it won't be long before you'll have to change how you address me." Jiang Rou teased warmly.

"Haha, Xiaoyao, this is truly a joyous occasion!"

At some point, Jun Zhantian and several clan elders had also appeared, looking at Jiang Luoli and Jiang Shengyi with cheerful smiles, clearly very pleased.

Jiang Shengyi was so embarrassed that she buried her face directly in Jun Xiaoyao's chest.

Jiang Luoli, carefree as ever, broke into a blissful smile, two sweet little dimples appearing on her cheeks.

In that moment, Jun Xiaoyao felt a deep sense of gratitude.

By his side, there were loved ones, family, friends, and his clan.

Perhaps this was what true happiness was.

The more ordinary it was, the more precious it became.

"These are the ones I want to protect. No chaos or great calamity shall ever threaten them."

Jun Xiaoyao swore in his heart.

To achieve this, he would continue to cultivate, until he truly became the supreme being who stood above all of ancient and modern times, capable of erasing all chaos.

The Sovereign Heavenly Emperor!
