Beneath the starry sky, starlight sprinkled down.
The young girl danced on the mountain peak, her skirt fluttering, her posture graceful.
Her slender, crystalline beautiful legs carved out enchanting arcs.
Tiannv Yuan, like a beautiful Fairy, danced under the starry sky.
This dance was enough to captivate the world.
Even Jun Xiaoyao, who was accustomed to seeing goddesses and fairies, was momentarily lost in thought, but quickly regained his senses.
He was not an ascetic monk, and if Tiannv Yuan was willing to dance for him, he was willing to appreciate it.
Jun Xiaoyao also noticed that although it was the same Luo Shen Startling Swan Dance, this time Tiannv Yuan's dance was distinctly different from before, imbued with the radiance of the Great Dao.
Numerous runes manifested in the Void Realm, sparkling with myriad colors.
They set off Tiannv Yuan, truly making her resemble Mi Fei, the Luo Shen rising from the water.
"It seems it should be because she obtained Mi Fei's Legacy," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
When the dance concluded, a shower of flowers fell in the Void Realm, a manifestation of the Great Dao's resonance.
"Young Master, was it beautiful?" Tiannv Yuan tilted her head slightly, smiling charmingly.
"It was," Jun Xiaoyao replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Tiannv Yuan's heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Jun Xiaoyao gazed at Tiannv Yuan and suddenly asked, "Who exactly are you?"
The smile on Tiannv Yuan's face slowly faded.
Her beautiful eyes were clear and calm, then she suddenly smiled again and said, "I am a little fish, always striving to leap out of the water and become the Luo Shen rising from the water, to control my own destiny."
"But in the end, I found that I am always that fish that cannot leap out of the river, destined to only swim in the river of fate..."
After speaking, Tiannv Yuan seemed to give a self-deprecating smile, saying, "Look at me, what nonsense am I spouting."
Her beautiful eyes looked at Jun Xiaoyao, and she suddenly moved closer to him, placing a Jade Slip in his hand.
"If Young Master Jun misses me, just crush this Jade Slip, and I will come back to you regardless of anything."
Her eyes, brimming like water, gazed at Jun Xiaoyao, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart.
Then, Tiannv Yuan turned to leave.
"Wait..." Jun Xiaoyao spoke.
Tiannv Yuan's delicate body froze, trembling slightly. She looked back, a faint tremor in her eyes.
"Later, I will need your help, to use the power of Shennv Fang to investigate the whereabouts of the Thirteen Bandits," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Tiannv Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly, a barely perceptible hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her lips, and then she smiled, "I understand, Young Master's command, I will definitely fulfill it."
Although she knew that even now, Jun Xiaoyao's relationship with her was only one of cooperation and utilization.
Tiannv Yuan had no regrets, nor did she resent Jun Xiaoyao.
Because she had also utilized Jun Xiaoyao.
It's just...
How much Tiannv Yuan wished that her relationship with Jun Xiaoyao was not merely one of mutual utilization.
Watching Tiannv Yuan's departing back, Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.
"A fish that cannot swim out of the long river of fate, Tiannv Yuan, who is the one who controls your destiny?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
...
Outside Tianming Ancient Star, in the starry sky.
Tiannv Yuan stood alone on a starry sky flying boat.
She picked up a Jade Slip with her delicate hand. The Jade Slip shimmered slightly, and a clear, ethereal female voice, like a heavenly melody, emanated from within.
"It seems you have already obtained the Legacy."
"That's right, I have already obtained the Wa Imperial Heavenly Heart Art." Tiannv Yuan's expression became indifferent and emotionless.
"Very good, this palace's Wa Huang Sacred Body can finally undergo a complete transformation."
"By then, on the entire Ultimate Ancient Road, those who can contend with this palace will be no more than five..."
This ethereal female voice, though belonging to a woman, possessed a magnificent aura no less than that of a man.
Like a Supreme Female Emperor who controlled all the heavens and the universe.
Listening to the woman's words, Tiannv Yuan's expression remained emotionless.
"However, that Jun Xiaoyao truly far exceeded this palace's expectations."
"Not only can he kill a Half-step Great Saint, but he can even block three moves from a Saint Lord. It seems being cautious was indeed the right thing to do." The woman's words also carried a hint of solemnity.
"You can't deal with him. Not just you, but even with Ancient Emperor Child, or others, it's impossible," Tiannv Yuan said coldly.
The female voice within the Jade Slip was silent for a moment, then said, "Yuan, you know, it's impossible for you to fall in love, because... you are this palace's clam-person..."
Tiannv Yuan clenched her delicate hand and said coldly, "I have already obtained the Wa Imperial Heavenly Heart Art for you, so what about the freedom I want?"
"After you become the successor of Shennv Fang, come back. This palace still needs you."
"Besides, Ancient Emperor Child's patience is also limited..."
Hearing this, Tiannv Yuan's delicate body trembled violently, and a pale expression appeared on her beautiful, Fairy-like face.
"No... impossible..." Tiannv Yuan's lips were ashen white.
"Nothing is impossible. Oh, and also, Ancient Emperor Child has already dispatched the Four Little Heavenly Kings."
"Next, there will be another show to watch."
After these words were spoken, the female voice fell silent.
Tiannv Yuan's delicate body slumped powerlessly to the ground, her delicate hands covering her face.
"Young Master Jun..."
Her dance was peerless, yet she could only dance in a tragic destiny.
...
On Tianming Ancient Star, Jun Xiaoyao immersed himself in Cultivation.
For ordinary people, even if they obtained an Immortal Scripture, comprehending it was not a matter of a moment.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's Comprehension Ability was monstrously extreme. For him, comprehending an Immortal Scripture only required a little more time than Cultivating a great Divine Ability Supreme method.
Additionally, Yan Rumeng also began refining the ancient Bloodline.
It was conceivable that if her Heavenly Dream Enchanting Butterfly Bloodline completely Awakened, her talent and strength would also skyrocket.
The Snake-Human Race also began its steady development, with the Bloodline of the entire race beginning to transform.
The situation temporarily stabilized.
However, news about Jun Xiaoyao began to spread throughout the entire Ancient Road.
Killing a Half-step Great Saint and blocking three moves from a Saint Lord.
Even for Forbidden Talents, this was incredibly unbelievable.
Furthermore, Saint Hongyi of Gulan Holy Church, Mo Jinyu of Holy Spirit Island, and four of the Thirteen Bandits of the Ancient Road, all perished at Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
These pieces of news were equally shocking.
Contrary to expectations, Holy Spirit Island and Gulan Holy Church did not express any opinions, remaining silent.
Although Immortal Forces found it difficult to interfere in the struggles of the Ancient Road,
It was imaginable that if Jun Xiaoyao were a dark horse Prodigy without any background,
Perhaps within a few days, news would spread that Jun Xiaoyao had been assassinated somewhere.
It could only be said that the Jun Family, Jiang Family, and Jun Emperor Court, these three Immortal Forces, still possessed great deterrent power.
Of course, on the entire Ancient Road, besides news of Jun Xiaoyao,
There was also news of other super Forbidden Talents spreading.
For example, from the Ancient Royal Family's Godly Silkworm Valley, a rarely seen Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm had emerged.
This type of Divine Silkworm was said to be invincible after nine transformations.
And from Sun God Mountain, the Golden Crow Tenth Prince, who was said to possess an invincible aura, had obtained a Quasi-Emperor Weapon in a certain secret realm.
There were rumors that his next goal was to fully capture Yu Chanjuan, the Saintess of Moon God Palace, to seize her Taiyin Saint Body and Cultivate an Acquired Chaotic Body.
Furthermore, the Ancient Emperor Child of the Fuxi Immortal Lineage of the Supreme Immortal Court, who possessed the legendary Supreme Fuxi Sacred Body, had also assimilated the Legacy of an ancient Great Emperor.
And the Empress of the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage of the Supreme Immortal Court was equally unfathomable, hailed as one of the strongest existences among the younger generation on the Ancient Road.
Not to mention them, even the Four Little Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Court were top-tier existences among the Forbidden Talents. Each of them could sweep across a region of the Ancient Road and had created terrifying records of suppressing and killing Forbidden Talents.
Some people saw that the Four Little Heavenly Kings of the Immortal Court had set off together, seemingly to complete a certain mission.
This shocked many Prodigies. Who could it be that made the four Forbidden Little Heavenly Kings of the Supreme Immortal Court act together?
