The incident of Yu Chanjuan being captured did not stir much commotion in the Original Imperial City.

After all, the entirety of the Original Imperial City is vast, almost like a continent.

The true powerhouses, those ancient figures, are seated in its depths, constantly observing the border regions for any disturbances from the Exotic Realm.

They don't have the leisure to pay attention to the squabbles of the younger generation.

Yet, the young prodigies who had just arrived at the Original Imperial City were quite attentive.

Because they knew that Yu Chanjuan had ties with Jun Xiaoyao.

And Jun Xiaoyao's protectiveness was well-known.

Those who provoke Jun Xiaoyao meet unfortunate ends.

Those who provoke his companions fare even worse.

These prodigies were curious.

How would Jun Xiaoyao handle the situation if he arrived at the Original Imperial City?

After all, the Guardians are special contributors to the Immortal Realm with unique status and prestige, not someone you can easily offend.

"I'm rather curious, wherever the Divine Son of the Jun Family goes, chaos ensues. Will he stir great waves upon arriving at the Original Imperial City?"

"Not necessarily, this is after all the Original Imperial City. The Guardians set the rules here."

The guesses among the prodigies varied.

In the subsequent days,

prodigies continued to arrive at the Original Imperial City.

Someone saw a young monk, sitting in meditation on a White Jade Dragon Elephant, enveloped in endless Buddha Light.

In the void, it seemed as if ancient Buddhist chants echoed.

"It's the Supreme Forbidden Celestial Pride from the Western Heaven Sect, the Reincarnation Tathagata. Rumor has it he's received the Holy Buddha's legacy, awakening innate wisdom, now possessing terrifying power!"

A prodigy couldn't help but exclaim.

"By the way, I heard a rumor that the Reincarnation Tathagata might be one of the Seven Rebellious Emperors."

"What, really?"

"I'm not sure, just some hearsay."

Some prodigies whispered among themselves.

Jun Xiaoyao contending with the heavens, and the descent of the Seven Rebellious Emperors, was already no news.

Many have been speculating who the Seven Rebellious Emperors are.

Various rumors naturally circulated.

Later, someone saw boundless Nether Qi rolling, as if Hell had returned to the world.

A demonic figure emerged within.

That was the Supreme Forbidden Celestial Pride from the Netherworld King Lineage, the Yama Celestial Emperor.

It's rumored he received a legacy from a mysterious power in the Underworld.

Moreover, someone saw endless sword light sweeping the sky.

Thousands upon thousands of sword qi coalesced into a Sword Dragon.

A cold and aloof young man in black, standing atop, wielding his sword in flight, with imposing momentum!

"That is... the Sword Demon reincarnated from the Desolate Ancient Ye Family, Ye Guchen!"

"He once engaged in a kingly duel with the Divine Son of the Jun Family on the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm Emperor's Road. Although he was defeated, he earned the respect of the Divine Son of the Jun Family!"

Ye Guchen was likewise a dazzling star on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

He, the reincarnated Sword Demon, severed his past to reshape his true self.

Losing to Jun Xiaoyao was nothing, as Jun Xiaoyao was not a being to be assessed with common sense.

Now, Ye Guchen clearly also reached the level of Supreme Forbidden Celestial Pride.

Just relying on his self-created Supreme Sword Technique of Ten Thousand Gods' Tribulation, he was enough to crush various foes.

"Jun Xiaoyao, Ye Mou looks forward to meeting you again." Ye Guchen stood with hands behind his back, wielding his sword in flight, war intent burning in his eyes.

A lifetime, seldom a worthy opponent.

Then, the Feather Transformation King and his sister Yu Yun Shang also arrived at the Original Imperial City.

"Has Young Master Jun not arrived yet? I really want to see him again soon," Yu Yun Shang thought expectantly.

With the arrival of the Reincarnation Tathagata, Yama Celestial Emperor, Ye Guchen, and Feather Transformation King among other young prodigies,

the entire Original Imperial City became bustling.

But everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

Correct!

They were waiting for that man to arrive!

On the Emperor Burial Star.

In an ancient cave.

A figure in snow-white attire, with an elegant demeanor, sat in meditation as if entering a trance.

An indescribable power of life essence permeated around Jun Xiaoyao.

What was more astonishing was.

At that moment, around Jun Xiaoyao and within the ancient cave,

countless rare and exotic plants thrived exuberantly, dense with life force spreading.

Just the aura alone could create such a scene.

Jun Xiaoyao's life force was unprecedentedly vigorous.

The blood and qi of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body were already sufficiently robust.

Now, coupled with the Spring of Life,

Jun Xiaoyao's life force was so abundant, it was nearly overflowing.

If one observed Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Cosmos,

they'd find his Inner Cosmic Space had doubled compared to before!

Reaching a diameter of two light-years.

And in the central region of his Inner Cosmos, atop a star condensed of earth elements,

a Spring of Life resided within, absorbing vast quantities of life essence qi.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Cosmos was only in the initial stages of development, still unable to give birth to life.

So even with a Spring of Life, it couldn't directly produce living beings.

Not even plants could be born.

But this was laying the groundwork.

In the future, when Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Cosmos evolved with life rules, the Spring of Life would naturally play a major role.

As Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Cosmos expanded, his strength also steadily rose, with an exuberant aura.

"Only Great Saint Realm Great Perfection?"

Jun Xiaoyao opened his eyes, slightly furrowing his brows, somewhat dissatisfied with his pace of breakthrough.

If other proud cultivators saw this, they'd absolutely be exasperated.

One should know, in the Great Saint Realm, breaking through a single small realm was incredibly challenging.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao had surpassed five stages.

From Early Great Saint Realm, he directly broke through to Great Saint Realm Great Perfection, just a step away from the Saint Master Realm.

Not satisfied with this speed?

What more could one want!

However, Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat satisfied that the number of Sumeru worlds within him, due to the life energy from the Spring of Life, had increased to two hundred sixty.

"The gains are quite decent." Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.

Cultivation had surpassed five stages, reaching Great Saint Realm Great Perfection.

His Inner Cosmic Space had doubled.

The number of Sumeru worlds within him reached two hundred sixty.

He also successfully cultivated the Immortal Divine Skill from the Life Book.

It can be said the harvest from Jun Xiaoyao's secluded cultivation this time was quite substantial.

"Once I obtain the World Tree in the Ultimate Trial Land, refining it into my Inner Cosmos, then my strength will truly surge."

"Not to mention advancing to the Saint Master Realm, even advancing directly to Quasi-Supreme Venerable wouldn't be impossible." Jun Xiaoyao contemplated.

The Spring of Life, although rare, still paled in comparison to the World Tree.

Moreover, the World Tree, brimming with power from the world, provided far greater support to the Inner Cosmos than the Spring of Life.

At that time, Jun Xiaoyao might truly use this to step into the Seven Venerable Realms.

In that case, Jun Xiaoyao would undoubtedly be the youngest Supreme Venerable in history!

Besides, Jun Xiaoyao had not forgotten that at the end of the Ancient Road, he still had a signing opportunity.

"The signing should be in the Ultimate Trial Land, at the core of the Divine Ruins World. I have a feeling this time's reward should be quite special." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

After all, this signing spans the entire Ultimate Ancient Road.

If no good rewards are given, then this system would be quite stingy.

"What might I get from signing this time? I am really looking forward to it." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

He left the ancient cave of his secluded cultivation.

Briefly probed Princess Long Ji, she was still receiving the Nine-fingered Saint Dragon Emperor's legacy.

"A mysterious prodigy who defeated the youthful Nine-fingered Saint Dragon Emperor yet remains hidden from the world. Could they be one of those 'seed' figures buried within ancient history?"

Jun Xiaoyao speculated in his heart.

He shook his head slightly, casually casting the Third Seal of the Forbidden Immortal.

This way no one could disturb Princess Long Ji from receiving the legacy.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also left the Emperor Burial Star.

"The end of the Ancient Road, the Divine Ruins World, should be somewhat interesting."

"The Seven Rebellious Emperors, and those Exotic Realm prodigies, better stir up some trouble..."

"After all, being invincible is so lonely..."
