After temporarily completing his Cultivation, Jun Xiaoyao walked out of his Immortal Cave with his hands behind his back.
Outside the Immortal Cave, a stunning woman, dressed in a simple, veiled gown, with a long skirt trailing on the ground, and a gentle demeanor like water, stood gracefully.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao appear, a look of joy bloomed on her snow-white, jade-like face, and she instantly came before him.
"You've emerged from your seclusion."
This woman was, of course, Luo Xiangling.
"Have you been waiting outside all this time?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Luo Xiangling nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, because I was afraid of disturbing you."
Jun Xiaoyao listened, silently.
This woman, who had followed him all the way from the Foreign Realm to the Immortal Realm, was perfect in every aspect.
Her strength was astonishing, her beauty exquisite, yet her personality contained a thread of innocence and persistence not belonging to a human.
And once she recognized Jun Xiaoyao, she would not change.
This made the current Jun Xiaoyao somewhat unsure how to face her.
The saying, "If you don't intend to marry, why flirt?" perfectly described the situation.
He had just promised to get engaged to the two beauties of the Jiang Family.
It was really not a good time to deal with Luo Xiangling's matter.
He could only drag it on for now.
"Xiangling, you came here for..."
"The Virtual Heaven Realm is about to open; that is an Opportunity the Immortal Academy promised you," Luo Xiangling said.
She was afraid Jun Xiaoyao might miss this great Opportunity because of his seclusion.
"Understood," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He was also very curious about what great Opportunities this strange place, which could only be entered by Primordial Spirit, held.
Some of the Opportunities within it were even difficult for the Jun Family to provide.
If not for this Opportunity, Jun Xiaoyao would have been too lazy to come to the Immortal Academy.
"Brother Xiaoyao..."
From a distance, a clear, bell-like voice rang out.
It was Jiang Luoli; she had also emerged from seclusion, not wanting to miss the Opportunity of the Virtual Heaven Realm.
Upon seeing Luo Xiangling also present, Jiang Luoli restrained herself slightly and nodded, saying, "Greetings, Elder Luo."
Luo Xiangling herself was a Quasi-Emperor expert, and now she had even become an honorary Elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy.
Jiang Luoli naturally dared not show any disrespect towards her.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Jiang Luoli.
This girl, after a period of seclusion, seemed even more radiant, with a glow of wisdom flowing across her fair forehead.
Her entire being seemed enveloped in a halo, incredibly pure.
She was simply an ethereal little fairy.
"It seems your gains from this seclusion are not small either."
Noticing the subtle World Qi within Jiang Luoli's body, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Jiang Luoli looked a little smug, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Of course! Brother Xiaoyao helped me so much; I couldn't be useless."
If not for the help of the World Tree, Jiang Luoli would not know when she would be able to Cultivate the Yuanling World within her body.
Seeing Jiang Luoli's affectionate posture towards Jun Xiaoyao.
Luo Xiangling's eyes beside them dimmed slightly.
Before, she only knew Jun Xiaoyao from the Foreign Realm and was unaware of his past experiences.
Later, she inquired about him at the Immortal Academy.
Only then did she learn that Jun Xiaoyao had such a rich and colorful life in the Immortal Realm.
And that so many outstanding beauties were deeply devoted to him.
In comparison, Luo Xiangling felt she had nothing.
She had only given Jun Xiaoyao some meager help in the Foreign Realm.
For a moment, Luo Xiangling fell silent.
Jiang Luoli also realized the situation and secretly glanced at Jun Xiaoyao with her little eyes.
There was nothing she could do; her man was just that excellent.
He could even bring pretty aunts from the Foreign Realm to the Immortal Realm.
Sensing a subtle awkwardness in the atmosphere, Jun Xiaoyao coughed.
He would rather face a hundred Ultimate Calamity than this kind of love triangle.
Just then, the resounding dong-dong of a bell suddenly rang out.
"It's the Heaven Bell," Jiang Luoli said.
"It's almost time to depart. This Virtual Heaven Realm is only for Primordial Spirit entry, so there shouldn't be any major dangers. I'll go first."
After saying this, Luo Xiangling turned and left.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed inwardly, then said, "Let's go and see what surprises the ultimate creation land, as described by the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy, holds."
...
At the Immortal Academy, on a massive plaza floating in the Void Realm.
Countless sounds of rushing wind rang out, and numerous figures descended upon the place.
However, compared to the total number of Immortal Academy Disciples, not many people came.
Because not everyone was qualified to go to this Opportunity.
Only the most outstanding Prodigies were eligible to go.
Therefore, those who could go to the Virtual Heaven Realm were the cream of the crop, the Seed-level Heavenly Champions among Seed-level Heavenly Champions.
So, even though many Prodigies came.
Only a small fraction of them were truly able to go.
Most were just there to watch the show.
In the Void Realm, an old man in a hemp robe stood.
He was the leader of the Immortal Academy this time, the Third Elder of the Immortal Academy, Xu Mo.
At this moment, some Prodigies had already appeared.
Ling Yuan, Ancient Emperor Child, Reincarnated Dì Fózǐ, Long Yao'er, Ji Qingyi, and others.
Although they were not the top Seed-level Heavenly Champions who emerged later.
They were the most outstanding talents of their generation, having reached the end of the Ancient Road.
In a sense, they were the strongest Seeds of their time.
The Immortal Academy also cultivated them diligently, granting them astonishing Opportunities when they first joined.
This allowed them to catch up in Cultivation with those dormant Seed-level figures.
And some observant people noticed.
Ling Yuan and Ancient Emperor Child, though both the most outstanding contemporary Prodigies of the Immortal Court.
They stood on opposite sides, with a subtle sense of opposition between them.
Many people were secretly surprised.
Could this be the beginning of a power struggle within the Immortal Court?
The Third Elder, Xu Mo, witnessed this scene and merely observed from the sidelines.
But he sighed inwardly.
"What a Jun Family Divine Child; the Grand Elder's words were indeed correct. In the future, the Immortal Court might truly fall into his hands."
Of course, Xu Mo only thought this to himself and would not speak it aloud.
After all, the Immortal Court was still the dominant force on the surface.
And it had a hidden trump card that had not yet been revealed.
That was the Ancient Young Emperor!
If there was any young existence in the Immortal Court who could directly confront Jun Xiaoyao.
It would probably only be that Ancient Young Emperor.
Even the Ancient Emperor Child now could only stand aside.
As time passed, more and more Prodigies arrived.
Some Jun Family Prodigies also appeared, such as Jun Lingcang and others, who were also Cultivating at the Immortal Academy.
There were also Jun Xiaoyao's many followers and some people close to him, such as Yu Chanjuan, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Princess Longji, and others.
In fact, some people, like the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, were originally not qualified to go to the Virtual Heaven Realm.
But anyone associated with Jun Xiaoyao had risen in status, let alone a mere rabbit.
Even the Golden Winged Little Peng King, who had only followed Jun Xiaoyao for a very short time, received preferential treatment from the Immortal Academy.
This made many Prodigies envious, wishing they had shamelessly followed Jun Xiaoyao during the Emperor Road and Ancient Road.
But it was useless now.
Let alone followers, even Jun Xiaoyao's maids and mounts were not roles just anyone could fill.
Didn't they see that Jun Xiaoyao's mount was a Quasi-Emperor?
Just then, two figures leisurely approached from a distance.
It was Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Luoli.
The place instantly erupted!
