What A'Jiu said was true.
Because compared to her Cultivation speed,
Jun Xiaoyao's Cultivation speed was truly terrifying.
What Realm was Jun Xiaoyao in when he was on the Ultimate Ancient Road?
And now, Jun Xiaoyao can even easily slay a Supreme Mysterious Venerable!
If A'Jiu's progress was described as divine speed,
then Jun Xiaoyao's progress was absolutely illogical, not conforming to the objective laws of development of things, and violating the principles of the operation of all things.
Simply put, he was a cheater.
Even now, with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, he no longer needed her protection.
Even if the Faith Divine Body was not considered, with Jun Xiaoyao's current strength,
just relying on Jun Xiaoyao's various trump cards, he would have the composure to face a Dao Venerable.
However, upon hearing A'Jiu's words,
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "A'Jiu, what are you saying?"
"In my heart, you are not just a simple Guardian."
"I also promised before."
"In the past years, you protected my safety; in the rest of my life, I will ensure your well-being."
Jun Xiaoyao's words were very plain, yet they seemed like an immortal vow.
He rarely made vows, because once he did, he had to keep them.
However, this kind of promise was different from the promise he made to Jiang Shengyi.
This was a friendship that did not involve romantic feelings.
The subtle bond between him and A'Jiu could not be simply described by romantic feelings.
"Young Lord..."
A'Jiu's pupils showed ripples.
Even her mind, which had long been as still as an ancient well, couldn't help but fluctuate and become slightly disarrayed at this moment.
Her obsession was protection.
She never expected to gain anything from Jun Xiaoyao.
Giving and dedicating were her only principles.
A'Jiu watched Jun Xiaoyao grow up.
From a little kid of a few years old,
to the handsome, transcendent, and era-dominating peerless Prodigy he was now.
"Alright, A'Jiu, tell me about your experiences." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere.
A'Jiu also simply talked about her experiences.
On the Ultimate Ancient Road, Jun Xiaoyao gave her freedom.
A'Jiu was a bit lost at first.
After all, her only goal before was to protect Jun Xiaoyao and be his Guardian.
Now that this goal was gone, A'Jiu was naturally lost.
But she quickly found a new goal.
That was to Cultivate and become stronger.
Because only in this way would she have the strength and Opportunity to continue protecting Jun Xiaoyao.
She would work hard to Cultivate and help Jun Xiaoyao.
Until the day Jun Xiaoyao completely surpassed her.
And when it came to Cultivation, the environment of the Nine Heavens was naturally much better than that of the Immortal Domain.
So A'Jiu also contacted General Nie Zhan.
Because as a member of the Divine King Eight Divisions, she knew General Nie Zhan was in the Nine Heavens.
Therefore, A'Jiu was later brought to the Nine Heavens.
Then she had been cultivating in seclusion in Kunlun Hill until now.
After listening to A'Jiu's brief narration,
Jun Xiaoyao sighed silently in his heart.
Another woman who worked hard behind the scenes for him, silently giving without expecting anything in return.
Why did these women treat him with such sincerity?
How was he supposed to repay them?
After a brief sigh,
Jun Xiaoyao also sighed softly.
He would remember all these friendships in his heart.
He would repay A'Jiu twofold in the future.
"By the way, why is Senior General Nie Zhan staying in Kunlun Hill?"
Jun Xiaoyao asked.
General Nie Zhan replied, "Reporting to Young Lord, this is the Master's order."
"Father?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"That's right, although our Divine King Eight Divisions are not always with the Master, we each have our own tasks."
"For example, Li Xin, he has always been stationed in the Eternal Burial Ground."
"And War God Man, he was also always stationed in the Border Gate before."
"And I was assigned to the Nine Heavens and have been staying in Kunlun Hill, monitoring the movements of the Ten Forbidden Zones in the Nine Heavens."
"Once there is any major movement in the Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens, I will immediately report it to the Jun Family."
General Nie Zhan's words made Jun Xiaoyao nod slightly.
He couldn't help but marvel at his father Jun Wu悔's painstaking efforts.
Not only did he himself achieve One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, with one body suppressing the foreign Realm, one body suppressing the Realm Sea, and one body suppressing the Burial Soil,
but he also had his subordinates, the Divine King Eight Divisions, each monitoring the Burial Soil, the Border Gate, the Nine Heavens, and other places.
It could only be said that Jun Wu悔 was truly full of passion, sincere at heart, and protected the Immortal Domain.
This was a true great hero.
Although Jun Xiaoyao did not want to become such a hero, he was still proud of his father.
"So, has Senior General Nie Zhan received any news?" Jun Xiaoyao asked casually.
"Yes, there is an anomaly in the Gui Xu Land, which is very likely a precursor to the Darkness Turmoil." General Nie Zhan said with a serious tone.
"Can you elaborate?"
Jun Xiaoyao became interested.
His biggest goal now was also the Gui Xu Land.
Besides the Opportunity to sign in,
he also wanted to know what secrets were buried in the Gui Xu Land.
General Nie Zhan said solemnly, "The Gui Xu Land hides the greatest secret of the Nine Heavens, and it is also the Source of the turmoil in the Forbidden Zones."
"However, the Gui Xu Land is also the top Opportunity land in the Nine Heavens."
"Even the Prodigies of the Ten Forbidden Zones, that is, the top few Prodigies on the Dragon Phoenix Rankings, are waiting for this Opportunity." General Nie Zhan said.
"Oh, what Opportunity does the Gui Xu Land have that attracts them so much?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Does Young Lord know about Immortal Material?" General Nie Zhan asked.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.
What he needed most now was a large amount of Immortal Material.
"Could it be that Immortal Material flows out of the Gui Xu Land?"
General Nie Zhan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it is rumored that deep within the Gui Xu Land, there is a 'gate' called the Gate to Immortality."
"And Immortal Material flows out from the Gate to Immortality."
"So, some Immortal Material will remain in the Gui Xu Land."
"In addition, the environment of the Gui Xu Land is special, sealing the heavens and isolating the earth, with rich power of rules pervading it, so it is also an excellent place for comprehending rules."
General Nie Zhan said.
These were all secrets of the Nine Heavens.
Generally, only creatures from the Ten Forbidden Zones knew about them.
But General Nie Zhan had been in the Nine Heavens for so long, plus the help of Kunlun Hill, he naturally knew some hidden secrets.
"Gate to Immortality..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.
He finally found the Source of all clues.
It was that Gate to Immortality!
And creatures like the Bodhi Seed from Medicine Spirit Mountain said they fell into the Nine Heavens from a gate.
Presumably, they fell out of the Gate to Immortality.
"What kind of existence is the Gate to Immortality, and what is its connection to the turmoil?" Jun Xiaoyao inquired.
At this moment, Kun Xuzi stepped forward and said, "If Brother Jun doesn't mind, he can go see our Clan Chief; he might be able to answer Jun Xiaoyao's questions."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He had to understand the truth behind it.
That mysterious Gate to Immortality would very likely connect all the clues and secrets.
From the ancient battle between the Desolate Emperor and the mastermind behind the scenes,
to Chang Sheng Island, the Underworld, and the curse on the Sacred Body,
then to the Darkness Turmoil, and the mysterious Chief Priest and the sacrificial ceremony.
Even now, Emperor Haotian's Rebirth.
These seemingly unrelated things actually had a hidden large net behind them.
And that Gate to Immortality was the core of the net.
All secrets, all Karma, and the Source of all turmoil, all came from the Gate to Immortality!
