Jun Xiaoyao had been longing for the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay.
With a single sword strike, a terrifying vision of fallen immortals was reflected.
The Ancestral Dragon Nest's Quasi Supreme was instantly killed with three sword strikes.
While this was partly due to the Eighteenth Ancestor's exceptionally high cultivation, a significant reason was also the immense power of the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay.
The Eighteenth Ancestor said, "In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, there are countless sword arts, but those truly at the Peak are the Five Great Divine Arts. My Jun family's Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay is one of the Five Great Divine Arts."
"Five Great Divine Arts…" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
Although he had long known that the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay was definitely not ordinary, he hadn't expected it to be one of the Five Great Divine Arts.
"No wonder I couldn't find the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay in the Jun Family's Martial Pavilion," Jun Xiaoyao realized.
"Hehe, that's natural. This kind of sword art is mainly difficult to learn. Even if it were made available to ordinary clansmen, it might take over a decade to even get started, which would be a waste of time," the Eighteenth Ancestor explained.
Jun Xiaoyao agreed.
For those without extraordinary talent and Comprehension Ability, Cultivating the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay would indeed be futile and a waste of time.
But unfortunately, Jun Xiaoyao happened to be a Prodigy with astonishing talent and Comprehension Ability.
"Then, Old Ancestor, this Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay…" Jun Xiaoyao stopped speaking.
"I didn't give it to you before because I was afraid it would hinder your cultivation. However, now that you are about to venture out into the world, you indeed need a trump card. Although the Ancient Sacred Body and Supreme Bone are strong, martial arts and Divine Abilities are also indispensable," the Eighteenth Ancestor advised.
Next, the Eighteenth Ancestor imparted the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay to Jun Xiaoyao.
The Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay is divided into three Moves.
The first Move, Immortal Fall, is a sword of magical power, targeting the Physical Body.
The second Move, Immortal Annihilation, is a sword of the Soul, targeting the Divine Palace Primordial Spirit.
And the final Move, Immortal Slaughter, is a sword that combines spirit and flesh, which was the Move the Eighteenth Ancestor used to kill the Quasi Supreme in three strikes.
"If you can master the first Move within three years, you might be able to fully Cultivate it," the Eighteenth Ancestor said with a faint smile.
"Yes," Jun Xiaoyao nodded, secretly thinking.
"Three years? I can't wait that long…"
The Eighteenth Ancestor looked at Jun Xiaoyao, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again, "Xiaoyao, there are two more things I need to tell you."
"Old Ancestor, please speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"When you have your eighteenth birthday coming of age ceremony, I will tell you about the hidden secrets behind my Jun Family, as well as matters concerning your father."
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
The hidden secrets behind the Jun Family?
Jun Xiaoyao was also very curious: what kind of hidden stories were behind such a powerful and glorious Jun Family?
But most importantly, it was about his father, Jun Wuhui!
The four words "White-Robed Divine King" had almost made Jun Xiaoyao's ears callus from hearing them so often.
What kind of person was his father, and why did he leave and never return?
What exactly happened back then?
"It's too early for you to know these things now. At your coming of age ceremony, I will tell you everything," the Eighteenth Ancestor said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, not pressing the matter.
Currently, he indeed swept all before him among the young Prodigies.
But he still lacked the ability to delve into these secrets.
For the following period, Jun Xiaoyao remained by the Eighteenth Ancestor's side, with the Eighteenth Ancestor personally explaining the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay to him.
Back then, it took the Eighteenth Ancestor a year to master the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay, which was already incredibly prodigious.
However, three months later.
In the Jun Family Ancestral Land, Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, and vast golden magical energy surged forth.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a brilliant, dazzling sword light shot across the sky, as if immortal and divine phantoms were manifesting around it.
The sword light swept forth, as if intending to cleave stars beyond the heavens. The Void Realm trembled, and the clouds in the sky collapsed!
Rumble!
After the sword light swept past, a large expanse of clouds was cut in half, and the residual Sword Qi burst out in all directions, alarming many Jun Family elders and Big Shots.
"That's… the aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay. Could it be the Eighteenth Ancestor?"
"No, although this sword light is astonishingly powerful, it hasn't reached the Eighteenth Ancestor's level. It's the Divine Child!"
Many Jun Family elders and Disciples were dumbfounded.
Only three months had passed, right?
Not only had Jun Xiaoyao mastered it, but he could even directly unleash the first Move of the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay.
Within the Ancestral Land, the Eighteenth Ancestor looked at Jun Xiaoyao and was momentarily stunned, unsure what expression to show.
"The first Move actually took three months. This Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay is truly difficult to learn," Jun Xiaoyao sighed, shaking his head.
It wasn't that he was deliberately putting on an act; it was just that Jun Xiaoyao had never spent more than seven days Cultivating any martial art or Divine Ability before.
In comparison, taking three months to Cultivate the first Move of the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay was indeed slow.
"Cough…" The Eighteenth Ancestor's expression was unnatural.
"Old Ancestor, what's wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"No, nothing. I just want to lie back in my coffin and sleep for a bit," the Eighteenth Ancestor said.
Being with Jun Xiaoyao, even the Eighteenth Ancestor's Dao Heart was starting to become unstable, and he needed to calm his emotions.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for imparting the Move. Xiaoyao bids farewell."
Jun Xiaoyao was also tactful and didn't disturb the Eighteenth Ancestor further.
After leaving the Ancestral Land, Jun Xiaoyao headed straight for the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
He breathed a sigh of relief that Jiang Luoli had finally left.
He truly had no interest in such a young girl.
When Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Palace, he found Jun Zhantian waiting for him.
"Have you learned the Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay?" Jun Zhantian inquired.
"Barely, just the first Move," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
"What a little monster…" Jun Zhantian thought to himself, then said aloud, "Grandpa never expected that you still possessed a Supreme Bone hidden deep within."
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly thought, this was simply a bone obtained through the System's sign-in.
However, once obtained, it was essentially no different from a naturally born bone for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Is there something, Grandpa?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Jun Zhantian wouldn't come to him without reason.
Jun Zhantian said, "Xiaoyao, although you possess two top-tier Physiques, Cultivating them requires double the effort. Especially the Ancient Sacred Body, you awakened the first Holy Body Phenomenon, Ten Thousand Saints Worship, at birth, but the Ancient Sacred Body actually possesses six major Holy Body Phenomenons."
Jun Zhantian's words made Jun Xiaoyao fall into contemplation.
Indeed, Cultivating the Ancient Sacred Body was even more difficult than the Supreme Bone.
Awakening Holy Body Phenomenons was not a simple matter.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's talent was prodigious, there still had to be a process.
"Grandpa might know where you can possibly accelerate your Comprehension of the second Holy Body Phenomenon," Jun Zhantian said.
"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. Such a place existed?
"Have you heard of the Panwu Divine Dynasty?" Jun Zhantian asked.
"The Panwu Divine Dynasty? That seems to be a top-tier power of Immortal Dynasty level," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
In his leisure time, he had read ancient texts and had some understanding of the various powers in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
"That's right. The founder of the Panwu Divine Dynasty was a Great Emperor named Panwu Great Emperor, but that's not important. What's important is that it's rumored he also possessed the Ancient Sacred Body…"
"There are rumors that deep within the Panwu Divine Dynasty's imperial palace, there is a Panwu Burial Mound, which may be related to Panwu Great Emperor…"
Just as Jun Zhantian's voice fell, the System's mechanical voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's mind once more.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed!"
"Please sign in at Panwu Burial Mound!"
