Deep within the Ancient Road, on a battlefield brimming with Spiritual Qi and Opportunity.
Hundreds of Prodigy Cultivators were engaged in a massive battle, vying for a Dao Spiritual Root.
This Spiritual Root emerged from a fissure in the earth, radiating thousands of rays of light and ten thousand brilliant glows.
The sound of the Dao rumbled, and divine order interwoved.
It was clear that this was an extraordinary treasure, and if refined, it would grant immense affinity with the Dao.
It could even give one the sensation of instantly comprehending the Dao.
"This Dao Spiritual Root is mine!"
"Dream on! No one is taking this from me!"
Commotion and shouts of battle filled the air.
Amidst this chaos,
a figure in snow-white robes, like a Fairy descending from beyond the heavens, drifted into the world.
Her immortal grace was ethereal, and the sound of the Dao resonated around her.
As her delicate steps moved, heavenly flowers scattered, and lotuses bloomed with each step.
"It's the Jiang Family Goddess!"
Someone shouted, though it was unclear who.
The entire chaotic battle seemed to quiet down.
Many male Prodigies involuntarily looked over, their eyes revealing a hint of awe and infatuation.
The Jiang Family Goddess, Jiang Shengyi, who possessed the Innate Dao Embryo, was undoubtedly one of the most stunning Divine Rank figures on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
At this moment, although Jiang Shengyi was surrounded by a boundless immortal glow, her true, ethereal appearance could still be faintly discerned.
Her immortal face was like a painting, her eyebrows delicately curved, and her eyes resembled autumn water.
Her snow-white hair fluttered, each strand sparkling, and her robes billowed, as if a Fairy had descended to the mortal realm.
Her pristine jade-like body was tall and slender, its curves perfect beneath the outline of her snow-white robes.
She exuded an otherworldly, transcendent beauty, like a snow lotus born atop a celestial mountain, untouched by dust.
"Everyone, this Dao Spiritual Root is of great use to Shengyi. My apologies to you all."
Jiang Shengyi parted her lips, her voice like a nightingale emerging from a valley, moving the hearts of those who heard it.
"Not at all, not at all! It's merely a Dao Spiritual Root. It's yours, Fairy Shengyi."
"That's right! Who dares to contend with the Jiang Family Goddess? I'll smash their dog head!"
With just a single sentence, a group of sycophants fawned over her.
There was no helping it; men naturally liked to show off in front of women, especially goddesses.
Although many knew that Jiang Shengyi had long been infatuated with Jun Xiaoyao, they still had to make a show when the Opportunity arose.
"Thank you, everyone." Jiang Shengyi smiled serenely.
It was, of course, best if she didn't have to resort to force.
With her current strength, she had nothing to fear.
However, just as Jiang Shengyi was about to collect the Dao Spiritual Root,
suddenly, two figures rushed out from the dense crowd, unleashing terrifying Moves, both of which were ultimate killing blows.
"You've been following me all this way; have you finally decided to make your Move?"
Jiang Shengyi was not surprised. As her jade hand swept out, hundreds of thousands of Dao divine chains emerged, interweaving with each other, covering the area like a dense spiderweb.
Boom!
A massive explosion occurred here, and various runic magical powers poured forth.
"How can this be? Who is attacking the Jiang Family Goddess?!" A Prodigy couldn't help but exclaim.
"Surrender to me!"
One of the two figures spoke, conjuring a Moonfall Bell, intending to suppress Jiang Shengyi within it.
"Star-Slaying Blade!"
The other figure conjured a blade gleaming with starlight, carrying an Aura that seemed capable of severing all stars in the heavens.
"You are… the Thirteen Bandits of the Ancient Road!"
A chill emanated from Jiang Shengyi's eyes.
She knew that the Thirteen Bandits of the Ancient Road loved to plunder Prodigies and seize their Bloodlines.
But she hadn't expected the Thirteen Bandits to dare set their sights on her.
However, upon second thought, the Innate Dao Embryo was indeed a very appealing Physique.
"As long as our boss can refine your Innate Dao Embryo, and then suppress Jun Xiaoyao and devour his Ancient Sacred Body,"
"at that time, who will be able to oppose our boss?!"
These two were none other than the Moon-Slaying Thief and the Star-Destroying Thief, two of the Thirteen Bandits.
Although the Thirteen Bandits had previously made preliminary plans to deal with Jiang Shengyi,
the Greedy Wolf Thief and others were still in the midst of their schemes.
But these two could no longer wait.
Jun Xiaoyao had already killed seven of the Thirteen Bandits.
This filled the Moon-Slaying Thief and the Star-Destroying Thief with immense rage.
They had also learned of the relationship between Jiang Shengyi and Jun Xiaoyao.
Therefore, they couldn't hold back and decided to act directly.
Jiang Shengyi had been calm before, but upon hearing that they also intended to seize Jun Xiaoyao's Ancient Sacred Body,
an incredibly chilling coldness and killing intent emanated from Jiang Shengyi's eyes.
Her Aura instantly changed, as if she had transformed from a transcendent female Immortal into a life-reaping Killer Immortal!
"Daring to scheme against Xiaoyao, your sins are unforgivable!"
Jiang Shengyi activated her Innate Dao Embryo, and endless Dao divine chains emerged from beside her, piercing through the Void Realm.
At the same time, between her eyebrows, one could faintly perceive the ethereal image of a female Immortal, radiating a hazy glow.
Everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
It was the first time they had seen this pure and otherworldly Fairy display such cold killing intent.
"Is it because of the Jun Family Divine Child…?"
For some reason, upon thinking this, many male Prodigies felt a pang of bitterness.
The Goddess they admired and were infatuated with was deeply concerned for the safety of another man.
"How is this possible? You were holding back!"
Seeing Jiang Shengyi's current cultivation Aura, the Moon-Slaying Thief and the Star-Destroying Thief both looked disbelieving.
This completely contradicted the information they had received.
At this moment, Jiang Shengyi stood upon the clouds, her hair fluttering, and her robes rustling.
Though she was a peerless beauty, her Aura was now like that of a Killer Immortal, striking fear into all around her.
"Dao Cage, Dao-Severing Blade!"
Jiang Shengyi's Dao techniques were unparalleled. Numerous Dao divine chains interwove, forming a cage that trapped the Moon-Slaying Thief and the Star-Destroying Thief within it.
Then, Dao patterns emerged, coalescing into a Dao-Severing Blade that swept towards the two of them.
Pfft!
The Dao of both individuals was completely shattered, signifying the extinction of their life force.
"Our boss… won't… let you… off…" The Moon-Slaying Thief's eyes bulged as he struggled to utter a sentence.
The two Bandits had perished.
Witnessing this scene, everyone around felt a chill in their hearts.
This was by no means because the Moon-Slaying Thief and the Star-Destroying Thief were too weak, but rather because Jiang Shengyi was too strong.
"The Jiang Family Goddess's mastery of the Innate Dao Embryo has reached a state of perfection."
"Before, some people said that Jiang Shengyi was merely a pretty face beside the Jun Family Divine Child. Now it seems they were gravely mistaken."
"I think the Jiang Family Goddess is even comparable to the Immortal Court's Empress and others."
Jiang Shengyi's performance astonished all who witnessed it.
After acquiring the Dao Spiritual Root, Jiang Shengyi departed alone, leaving behind a trail of infatuated and awestruck gazes.
"After refining this Dao Spiritual Root, the power of my Innate Dao Embryo will be further enhanced," Jiang Shengyi murmured.
On her jade finger, there was a ring, which now emitted light.
A hazy immortal figure, a mature woman in an immortal dress, appeared beside Jiang Shengyi.
"Master, why have you come out?" Jiang Shengyi asked.
She had once discovered this ring in a place of Opportunity, and within it resided the remnant soul of this woman.
This woman was the former female sect Master of an ancient Holy Land, possessing immense power.
Even more coincidentally, this sect Master was also an Innate Dao Embryo.
Therefore, during this period, the reason Jiang Shengyi had grown increasingly powerful, aside from her own Opportunities, was also due to the guidance of the female sect Master.
They had already formed a Master-disciple relationship.
"Who is Jun Xiaoyao? Why did you react so strongly when you heard his name?" The beautiful sect Master asked with a light smile, her tone full of gossip.
"He's… he's my…" Jiang Shengyi struggled for words, her cheeks even flushing slightly.
Seeing Jiang Shengyi, who rarely showed such a girlish demeanor, the beautiful sect Master also wore an amused and teasing expression.
"Could he be your man?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi's beautiful face turned even redder, like fire.
"Master, what are you saying…"
Looking at the beautiful and touching Jiang Shengyi, who was both annoyed and shy, the beautiful sect Master sighed inwardly.
She had always observed Jiang Shengyi's conduct, noting her calm and steady Heart-Nature, her lack of arrogance, and her mature wisdom.
And now, she was unexpectedly showing the rare demeanor of a young woman in love, which greatly surprised her.
Jiang Shengyi, with her thick, long eyelashes, gazed into the distance, letting out a soft sigh, and spoke each word distinctly.
"He is the most important person in this disciple's heart, so this disciple must become stronger to walk alongside him, and not let him be alone…"
Looking at Jiang Shengyi, whose expression had suddenly become incredibly serious, the beautiful sect Master sighed silently.
What kind of peerless man could make her excellent disciple so deeply concerned and willing to dedicate herself?
