"Brother Xiaoyao, be content with us by your side. This is the Seven-Step Down that I brought."
Little Devil Fairy giggled, taking out a large pot of fine wine.
Seven-Step Down meant that after drinking it, one would collapse after taking seven steps.
"Brother Xiaoyao, I'll pour you some wine!" Jiang Luoli actively took the wine cup, wanting to pour wine for Jun Xiaoyao.
Yan Qingying helped Jun Xiaoyao massage his legs.
Jun Xuehuang, on the other hand, massaged his back.
Jun Xiaoyao took the wine poured by Jiang Luoli and drank it all in one gulp.
"Is this what it feels like to hold the power to kill when awake and lie in the arms of beauties when drunk? No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor."
"But I, Jun Xiaoyao, am ten thousand times more carefree than an emperor!"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled, seemingly not satisfied, and directly tossed aside the wine cup, picking up the wine pot and starting to guzzle.
"Brother Xiaoyao, do you want to be drunk for three years?!" Little Devil Fairy exclaimed.
If one drank this entire pot of wine, not to mention dying directly, an ordinary Prodigy would be drunk for several years without a problem.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, did not care.
With his Physique and cultivation, he would not get drunk.
But Jun Xiaoyao did not deliberately suppress the drunkenness; he wanted to get drunk.
Jun Xiaoyao drank heartily while casually reciting.
"Born to be the foremost among men, only I share the same lifespan as Heaven."
"With two feet, I overturn the waves of the mortal world; with one shoulder, I bear all sorrows, past and present!"
… …
"Thirty years of fame are but dust and dirt, eight thousand li of road are but clouds and moon."
"Do not idly wait, for youth to turn gray, and then regret in vain!"
… …
"The great river flows eastward, washing away countless heroes of old, leaving only me, Xiaoyao!"
Jun Xiaoyao drank the pot of wine wildly, his black hair fluttering, unrestrained and free, like an immortal in wine.
As he sang, a surge of arrogance soared into the sky, stirring the sun, moon, and stars, shaking the nine heavens!
At this moment, the entire Hangu Pass trembled!
"What's going on? What happened?"
"It's the Jun Family Divine Child, he seems to be… reciting poetry!"
"It's already come to this, and the Jun Family Divine Child still has such an elegant interest in reciting poetry and composing odes?"
"Born to be the foremost among men, only I share the same lifespan as Heaven. Is the Jun Family Divine Child comparing himself to the Heavens, challenging the Heavenly Dao?" Some Prodigies carefully savored the lines of poetry, trembling in astonishment.
"Do not idly wait, for youth to turn gray, and then regret in vain…" Some Cultivators murmured, and for some reason, they were moved, tears flowing from their eyes.
This Emperor Road was too cruel.
So cruel that some Prodigies had their Dao Hearts collapse and simply could not persevere.
They either became decadent within the Emperor Pass or prepared to return home.
But at this moment, hearing these lines of poetry, a spark gradually ignited in the eyes of some Prodigies.
"The Jun Family Divine Child gambles with Heaven with such heroic spirit, what are our small difficulties compared to that?"
"That's right, for youth to turn gray and then regret in vain, I will continue to walk this path!"
"Even if I am destined to be ordinary in the end, I will struggle until death; this is my path!"
Many Cultivators were infected, their eyes slightly red.
Even more people bowed ninety degrees towards the mansion where Jun Xiaoyao was, giving a deep bow.
Jun Xiaoyao's words awakened those who were lost.
He made them realize what it meant to fight with Heaven, and find endless joy in it!
And at this moment, by the spiritual spring in the courtyard.
All the women present were as if in a trance.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao, clad in simple white robes, held a wine pot in one hand, reciting poetry and composing odes, his heroic spirit filling the heavens and earth!
His figure swayed, seemingly drunk but not quite, his handsome face carefree and peerless.
His drunken state was like a jade mountain about to collapse.
What a breathtaking scene this was.
It could instantly capture the heart of any woman.
But unfortunately, only the women present could appreciate it.
This was definitely a scene they would never forget in their lives.
"The great river flows eastward, washing away countless heroes of old, leaving only me, Xiaoyao…" Jiang Shengyi chewed and murmured, the more she savored it, the more she loved it.
This was her beloved, a peerless man with the sun and moon in his chest and a spirit that shook the universe!
"Brother Xiaoyao…" Jiang Luoli was even more enchanted.
Jun Xiaoyao was too outstanding, so outstanding that she simply could not extricate herself.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiaoyao to be like this when he's drunk; he seems a little… too handsome…" Little Devil Fairy's pretty face was also flushed.
Now, she actually found that she was truly a little moved.
"Talent unmatched in the world, brilliance astounding through the ages." Mu Yuehan was also dazed and foolish, murmuring to herself.
She had not expected that Jun Xiaoyao not only had peerless talent and unmatched strength, but also such literary talent.
A casual line of poetry was filled with heroic spirit, enough to be considered a classic and passed down through eternity.
Even the proud Princess Longji could only sigh in admiration at this moment, her eyes involuntarily showing continuous brilliance.
The word 'perfect' seemed to be tailor-made for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Xiaoyao, that brat, really likes to show off…" Jun Mulan grumbled.
Although she said that, her face was also a little red.
It was hard to imagine that this tomboy could also blush.
Finally, Jun Xiaoyao collapsed, drunk.
He actively allowed himself to get drunk.
Otherwise, even ten thousand pots of Seven-Step Down would not have made him feel the slightest bit of drunkenness.
Jiang Shengyi and the other women also got drunk.
They were not drunk from drinking, but intoxicated by Jun Xiaoyao.
The next day.
When they woke up, they did not see Jun Xiaoyao's figure.
"Xiaoyao…" Jiang Shengyi's heart suddenly trembled.
They still needed to refine the Dao Certification Mark within Hangu Pass, so it was impossible for them to embark on the Ultimate Ancient Road so early.
Just then, outside the courtyard, a commotion suddenly broke out.
Jiang Shengyi and the other women put on their clothes and went out, only to see Jun Moxiao and others.
"Where is Xiaoyao?" Jiang Shengyi's heart tightened as she asked.
Jiang Luoli and the others were also anxious.
Jun Moxiao sighed slightly and said, "You should go and see at the city gate."
Subsequently, the group arrived at the exit of Hangu Pass.
They found a large group of Prodigies gathered there, and even Supreme Du Tuo was present.
Their gazes were all fixed on the city wall.
Jiang Shengyi looked over and saw two lines of powerful, flowing calligraphy carved on the city wall.
"Who will ascend the Emperor Road?"
"Only I, Jun Xiaoyao!"
The brushstrokes were so bold, astonishing through the ages, and their heroic spirit soared into the clouds!
"He has already left…"
Jiang Shengyi murmured in a daze, a tear sliding down the corner of her eye.
No farewell.
No goodbye.
After a night of heavy drinking, Jun Xiaoyao, alone, embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
The strong are always solitary.
