The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
White Tiger King felt his cheeks burning.
However, Xuanwu Crown Prince and the others didn't say much.
They saw through it but didn't expose it.
At least they couldn't boost someone else's morale and diminish their own.
"Jun Xiaoyao, you…"
Gu Xiaoyu was somewhat stunned.
She had clearly lost that duel, yet Young Master Jun still gave her the ancient bronze key.
Even Gu Xiaoyu, who was a bit headstrong, now had a slight blush on her face and felt very embarrassed.
To be honest, her attitude towards Young Master Jun had never been particularly friendly.
But Young Master Jun had never held it against her.
Even in the duel, his focus was on defense.
Her injuries were caused by the shockwave of the rebound force.
"Hmph… just… just this once, thank you."
Gu Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks, delivering the words with a touch of arrogance.
"Young Master Jun…"
Tantai Qingxuan also showed her gratitude.
Young Master Jun hadn't forgotten her.
"Then, Young Lord, I…" Eastern Qingwu's beautiful eyes were brimming with tears.
"You too," Young Master Jun said.
The lone boat was very small, with limited capacity, only able to carry a few people.
On Young Master Jun's side, there were Yiyi, Yun Xuanxu, and other Yun Clan Emperor Clan Prodigies, so there wasn't enough space.
Therefore, he gave out another key, allowing Gu Xiaoyu, Gu Qingtian, Tantai Qingxuan, Eastern Qingwu, and others to board.
After Eastern Qingwu landed on the lone boat, her charming eyes glanced at Oriental Aoyue, who stood alone.
Although she said nothing, a hint of self-satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
After getting involved with the Young Lord, she finally felt a sense of superiority over Oriental Aoyue.
However, in the next moment, Eastern Qingwu's smile slowly froze.
Then, Oriental Aoyue also took out an ancient bronze key and landed on a lone boat.
"How is this possible? How do you have it?"
Eastern Qingwu was surprised again.
She knew that the Eastern Imperial Clan didn't have any ancient bronze keys at all.
How did she get it?
Oriental Aoyue glanced indifferently at Eastern Qingwu, saying nothing more.
At this moment, Xiahou Divine Treasure also took out an ancient bronze key, leading several Xiahou Emperor Clan Prodigies onto a lone boat.
Additionally, a Prodigy from the Soul Emperor Clan also took out an ancient bronze key.
This way, all nine ancient bronze keys were revealed.
Young Master Jun had one.
He gave one to Gu Xiaoyu.
Oriental Aoyue had one.
The Four Direction God Hall had three.
Xiahou Divine Treasure had one.
The Soul Emperor Clan Prodigy had one.
Chu Xiao had one.
Currently, among the nine lone boats, only Oriental Aoyue's boat was the most spacious, with only her on it.
A Prodigy from an Emperor Clan's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward, saying, "Young Miss Dongfang, may I borrow a seat?"
"Scram."
A simple word, carrying a cold disdain.
"Young Miss Dongfang, you're being a bit unreasonable…" The Emperor Clan Prodigy's expression changed slightly.
Oriental Aoyue said nothing, simply pointing a finger.
Pfft!
The divine light that burst forth pierced through the Emperor Clan Prodigy's glabella, annihilating his Primordial Spirit as well!
At this, no Prodigy dared to step forward again.
"As expected of the Blood Princess…"
Many Prodigies looked at Oriental Aoyue, their eyes filled with apprehension, even a hint of fear.
Young Master Jun watched all of this calmly.
Although Oriental Aoyue appeared cold and unapproachable.
He felt that this was like a cocoon, a disguise.
It was like a scab that formed after an injury, harder than skin.
Perhaps Oriental Aoyue had also experienced a unique story that most people hadn't.
That's why she became like this, using coldness and slaughter to disguise herself, preventing others from getting close.
Young Master Jun shook his head slightly, keeping this matter to himself.
The nine lone boats shuttled through the vast misty sea.
Here, it seemed as if time had stopped, with only the sound of rushing water.
After an unknown period, a faint glow suddenly appeared ahead.
The Prodigies looked over.
They discovered that on the other side of the sea, an incredibly magnificent and grand structure stood.
Ancient, Vicissitudes, majestic, and atmospheric!
"This is the true Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum!"
All the Prodigies present were deeply moved.
This magnificent and grand structure was the true core of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum!
Looking out, it was boundless, seemingly endless.
The brilliant golden light was dazzling, as if various auspicious beasts were manifesting and leaping through the Void Realm.
The solemnity subtly revealed made many Prodigies present feel a majestic pressure like the Great Dao itself.
As if facing this Qi, they were as tiny as ants.
"This is where the Human Emperor Legacy is located."
All the Prodigies' eyes trembled faintly.
The two words "Human Emperor" carried too much weight in the Boundary Sea.
He was a savior-like existence.
If one could obtain his Legacy, their future prospects would undoubtedly be boundless.
The crowd noticed that this magnificent structure was enveloped by an invisible barrier.
Only the towering gate in the very center allowed entry.
They stepped forward and found nine holes on the gate.
"So that's how it is."
Everyone understood.
Young Master Jun and the others who possessed the ancient bronze keys didn't hesitate.
They directly inserted the nine ancient bronze keys into the holes on the gate.
Immediately, the entire gate rumbled open.
An ancient, sealed Qi surged forth.
But what everyone felt, instead, was that subtle, invisible pressure.
It gave them an urge to kneel and worship.
Young Master Jun's eyes flashed, and he stepped directly inside.
The others also followed, unwilling to be left behind.
The entire core of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum was incredibly vast, with numerous palaces.
Everyone entered through the central gate.
Ahead, there were rows upon rows of stone statues.
There were soldiers holding long halberds and divine spears.
There were generals sitting on ancient exotic beasts.
They looked incredibly lifelike.
"Are they terracotta warriors guarding the Emperor Mausoleum?" Young Master Jun thought to himself.
He knew that Human Emperor Xuanyuan the Great was not just a lone individual, fighting single-handedly.
He also gathered a large number of powerful individuals under his command.
It could be said that if one could become the Human Emperor Heir.
What they would gain would not just be the Human Emperor Legacy.
They would also gain the support of a massive force.
And just as these Prodigies stepped inside.
Those originally silent stone statues suddenly began to tremble.
No, they shouldn't be called stone statues; they should be called stone Puppets.
These stone Puppets were Puppets refined through special means, guarding the Emperor Mausoleum.
"Is this also a test?"
Some Prodigies' expressions turned serious.
These stone Puppets all carried immense pressure, clearly indicating their strength was not weak.
Perhaps, this was also one of the methods to assess the qualifications of the Human Emperor Heir.
"Everyone, the core area of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum is very vast, and there must be many Opportunities within."
"At that time, we can split up, and perhaps everyone can gain something," Young Master Jun said.
Beside him, Yun Xuanxu, Yun Yusheng, and others nodded slightly.
They naturally wouldn't think that Young Master Jun wanted to abandon them.
Rather, they also wanted to rely on their own strength to obtain Opportunities, and not always follow behind Young Master Jun.
Under his protection, they couldn't fully grow.
And as these stone Puppets revived, the Prodigies present also began to disperse, rushing to different places.
Young Master Jun also soared towards one spot.
Behind him, a stone Puppet charged up, and Young Master Jun struck it with a palm, sending it flying.
After that, Young Master Jun began to delve deeper into the core.
After passing through several palaces, Young Master Jun did discover some treasures.
However, these treasures didn't hold much appeal for him.
They were all resources like sacred medicines and Divine Pills.
Although they held no appeal for Young Master Jun, he still collected all of them.
After all, Young Master Jun had plans to rebuild the Jun Emperor Court in the Xuanhuang Universe.
So, resources were essential.
He couldn't possibly mobilize all resources from the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
And as Young Master Jun continued to delve deeper.
At a certain moment, he suddenly looked towards a somewhat simple-looking palace.
Young Master Jun showed a hint of interest and walked inside.
