Inside the golden seven-story pagoda.
Each floor contained a piece of Immortal Source.
And within each Immortal Source, a Saint-level Prodigy from the Ancient Immortal Court was sealed.
In Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Soul perception.
The refining aura emanating from the entire Holy Mountain converged towards the golden pagoda.
Then, it surged into the bodies of the seven sealed Saints.
This meant that these seven Saint-level figures, sealed by the Ancient Immortal Court, had been undergoing refinement by the Holy Mountain's aura during their long slumber.
They treated the Holy Mountain's aura as nourishment, using it to refine their bodies.
After such a long time, it was unimaginable how strong these seven Ancient Immortal Court Saints had become.
"But why are they slumbering in the Forgotten Land?"
This was a point of confusion for Jun Xiaoyao.
The Forgotten Land was isolated, and its emergence time was uncertain.
If the Ancient Immortal Court intended to Seal Seed-level Heavenly Champions, they shouldn't have sealed them within the Forgotten Land.
Instead, these seven Ancient Immortal Court Saints seemed more like they were sealed here alongside someone else.
Much like the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders slumbering with Di Haotian.
"Could it be that there's still a Big Shot from the Ancient Immortal Court sealed here, and these seven Saints are merely followers?"
A thought suddenly occurred to Jun Xiaoyao.
"But no matter what, first, I must destroy this golden pagoda."
A cold glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
He already understood some of the cause and effect.
The most important thing now was to first destroy this golden pagoda that sealed the Holy Mountain.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to act.
From other directions, some Prodigies also ascended.
They immediately spotted Jun Xiaoyao and the others.
"It's you!"
The first to arrive were those from Xing Yunshen's lineage.
Xing Yunshen, Long Xuanyi, and the others all looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a hint of coldness in their eyes.
Earlier, during the competition for the Flying Immortal Waterfall in the Forgotten Land, they were also inadvertently tricked by Jun Xiaoyao.
They didn't obtain the Opportunity of the Flying Immortal Waterfall.
Immediately after, Yu Hui, Yu Mo, Bai Luoxue, and others from the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders also ascended.
They glanced at Jun Xiaoyao, and a strange look appeared in their eyes.
The Yan Yun Eighteen Riders had a certain sense of connection with each other.
They could vaguely feel a trace of Purple Flame Heavenly Lord's aura.
This meant that Purple Flame Heavenly Lord and the others had fallen at the hands of this Mysterious Black-Robed Man.
As for Bai Luoxue, her gaze fell upon the Mysterious Black-Robed Man, and for some reason, a growing sense of unease filled her heart.
Subsequently, Yan Xiao from the Zhurong Immortal Lineage, Yao Junzi from the Shennong Immortal Lineage, and even Qin Yuanqing and other Prodigies also ascended.
For a moment, the atmosphere became stagnant.
"Oh, is that… a Seed-level figure from the Ancient Immortal Court?"
Yan Xiao, Yao Junzi, and the others looked at the seven figures sealed within the golden pagoda, revealing looks of surprise.
"If we could win them over…"
The Immortal Lineage Successors' minds began to stir.
"We can discuss this later, but for now, there are some personal grudges to settle."
Xing Yunshen said coldly, looking at Jun Xiaoyao.
"What a coincidence, we also have personal grudges to settle."
Yu Hui and Yu Mo also stepped forward.
Yan Xiao and Yao Junzi looked at this scene, exchanged glances, and then took a step back.
They didn't want to get involved in a three-way battle.
They had seen this Mysterious Black-Robed Man before; he was from Ling Yuan's lineage.
And Yu Hui, Yu Mo, and the others were Di Haotian's people.
There was no need to say anything about Xing Yunshen and the others.
These three lineages were already the most powerful forces, forming a three-way standoff.
The Prodigies from other Immortal Lineages merely watched from the sidelines.
Qin Yuanqing also observed from the side.
He also wanted to confirm whether his thoughts were correct.
"You all step back first."
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, signaling Lu Fugui, Mo Yanyu, and the Chi You Immortal Lineage Prodigy to retreat.
Lu Fugui hesitated slightly, because the opponents they faced now were not to be trifled with.
The combined might of Yu Hui and Yu Mo was something even Di Haotian couldn't ignore.
Xing Yunshen, a War God Catalogue, possessed even more formidable combat power.
There was also Long Xuanyi, the son of Longteng Ancient Emperor.
One by one, none of them were easy to deal with.
Unless the identity of this Mysterious Black-Robed Man was truly as he had guessed.
As for Mo Yanyu, she retreated very decisively.
She was the only one present who knew Jun Xiaoyao's identity.
In her eyes, although these opponents were strong, they couldn't possibly be Jun Xiaoyao's match.
"It seems this battle is unavoidable."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone remained very calm.
Yan Xiao and the others looked at Jun Xiaoyao with some curiosity.
Facing Xing Yunshen, Long Xuanyi, Yu Hui, Yu Mo, and other peerless Prodigies, yet still so composed.
His identity certainly piqued their curiosity.
"Do you think that with Ling Yuan backing you, you can provoke us?"
Xing Yunshen's aura surged.
The few of them subtly blocked all of Jun Xiaoyao's escape routes.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, chuckled softly and said.
"I think you've misunderstood from the very beginning."
"What?"
Their expressions turned cold.
"You are not worthy of me provoking you. Would a True Dragon in the Nine Heavens provoke a loach in the mud?"
Jun Xiaoyao's words instantly caused the expressions of the few people present to change dramatically, becoming even colder.
Boom!
Xing Yunshen directly attacked.
He was inherently a decisive person.
With a single punch, the heavens and earth trembled.
The War God Catalogue was renowned as having the highest combat power.
Of course, there might have been some exaggeration, but the strength of this Holy Body was undeniable.
Jun Xiaoyao also threw a punch, and the two exchanged blows.
Bang!
With a thunderous roar, Xing Yunshen felt a surging force from his arm.
He felt as if he were hitting a rock with an egg; his chest violently vibrated, and the Qi and blood within him churned, almost causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, but he managed to swallow it down.
"You..."
Xing Yunshen's eyes were filled with shock and doubt.
"One force overcomes ten techniques. Combat skills are worthless in the face of absolute strength."
Jun Xiaoyao said.
Not to mention his power completely overwhelming Xing Yunshen.
Even purely in terms of combat skills, Jun Xiaoyao, who had Cultivated the War God Catalogue and even sparred with Luan Gu Great Emperor, was only stronger than Xing Yunshen, not weaker.
"Who exactly are you?"
Long Xuanyi also stepped forward.
Jun Xiaoyao did not answer, merely stated calmly, "Come at me together. Otherwise, I won't even have the interest to make a move."
"He's quite arrogant, isn't he?"
Yu Mo said.
"However, this reminds me of someone. He was once this arrogant, but now, he's recuperating in his ancestral land."
Yu Hui said with an indifferent expression.
The Prodigies present exchanged glances, all knowing who Yu Hui was referring to.
Mo Yanyu, however, couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
She truly wanted to see the comical expressions on these people's faces when they learned the truth.
Jun Xiaoyao remained completely unfazed by this; he took a step forward.
Instantly, the entire Holy Mountain seemed to tremble.
An incomparably terrifying aura emerged, his Qi and blood force surged straight to his Heavenly Spirit, seemingly transforming into a long dragon of Qi and blood.
At the same time, myriad Dao runes appeared, as if the Great Dao between heaven and earth were resonating with him.
The aura that burst forth was actually no weaker than the oppressive feeling given by the Holy Mountain's pressure.
All the Prodigies' expressions immediately changed dramatically at this moment, exclaiming in shock.
"Congenital Holy Body Dao Embryo!"
