SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1138 1138 The Little Stone Emperor

Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, both women of breathtaking, world-defying beauty.

And yet with completely different personalities and temperaments.

One possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

One was delicately lovely beyond compare.

One was gentle and refined.

One was lively and spirited.

One was as ethereally pure as a celestial exile beneath the moonlight.

One was as enchantingly innocent as a supremely beautiful fairy.

One was the cool and distant white moonlight.

One was the warm and vivacious cinnabar mole.

It could be said that either of these two women was a bond that countless men could not obtain even across three lifetimes.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao held them both.

This was indeed a kind of fortune.

"Xiaoyao, I'm so happy, I even feel like this is just a dream."

"If it's real, then I hope this dream never ends."

Jiang Shengyi smiled through tears, her pear-blossom-in-rain appearance all the more touchingly beautiful, stirring tenderness in anyone who saw her.

Jun Xiaoyao did not hesitate, lowering his head to kiss Jiang Shengyi's soft red lips directly.

"Mmm…"

Jiang Shengyi's lips were suddenly sealed.

Joy, shyness, happiness, all manner of emotions brewed within her heart.

After a long while, their lips parted.

"Xiaoyao, Luoli is still here…"

Jiang Shengyi gave a coy murmur, yet there was also a water-like allure about her.

At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao immediately sensed an incredibly aggrieved little gaze.

Jiang Luoli leaned in Jun Xiaoyao's arms, her pair of bright, dewy eyes looking utterly pitiful.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I want one too～"

Jiang Luoli closed her eyes on her own initiative, her pouty pink lips as tempting and mouth-watering as peach blossom petals.

Such an alluring loli with a childlike face yet a grown figure, actively seeking a kiss — there was probably no man who could resist this temptation.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled and kissed Jiang Luoli as well.

Only then did Jiang Luoli break into a sweet, silly grin.

"Xiaoyao, what are your plans from here?" Jiang Shengyi asked softly.

Although the tender embrace of beauty was exceedingly comfortable.

Jun Xiaoyao could not possibly indulge in it forever.

"I'll be heading to the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy afterward, but before that, I still need to make a trip back to the Jun family." Jun Xiaoyao said.

His return to the Jun family, aside from seeing his relatives and arranging certain matters.

Also involved investigating affairs related to the Cang Clan.

"I want to go back and see Mother too!" Jiang Luoli said.

They hadn't even begun the engagement yet, and Jiang Luoli was already calling Jiang Rouniang "Mother."

"Alright, I'll take you back with me. Shengyi, will you come along too?" Jun Xiaoyao looked toward Jiang Shengyi.

Jiang Shengyi felt a slight awkwardness.

Although bringing one's wife home to meet the parents was perfectly normal.

The problem was.

Jiang Rou was something of a distant cousin to Jiang Shengyi.

Though the blood relation wasn't particularly close, the title was still there after all.

Given that relationship, when they met, if she really had to call her "Mother," it would indeed be a bit awkward.

Seeming to have noticed Jiang Shengyi's awkwardness, Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said.

"Shengyi, why bother with such trivial matters."

Jiang Shengyi was his aunt in name, but it was only a title.

The two of them had no real blood relation whatsoever.

Besides, in this world, some clans would even deliberately arrange marriages between cousins in order to keep their bloodline pure.

So this really wasn't a big deal — at most it would invite a couple of teasing remarks.

"Even an ugly bride must eventually meet her in-laws." Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Jiang Shengyi gave Jun Xiaoyao a charming sideways glance.

"Am I ugly?"

"It was just a joke. If Shengyi were ugly, how would all the other women in the world survive?" Jun Xiaoyao said, very much in self-preservation mode.

A few days later, Jun Xiaoyao brought Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli and departed from the Yaochi Sacred Land.

However, after visiting the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Jiang Shengyi still had to return to the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Because she had not yet fully refined the Nine Apertures Holy Spirit Stone Womb.

By now, she had long since cultivated the Nine Apertures玲珑 Dao Heart.

The truly perfect Twelve Apertures Immortal Heart was no longer far off.

Jiang Shengyi had a faint premonition that she absolutely had to cultivate the Twelve Apertures Immortal Heart.

Yu Qingning and the Yaochi Sacred Master watched the departing figures of Jun Xiaoyao and the others, and both sighed softly.

"Heroes emerge from youth. Who would have thought the Jun family's divine son would be so monstrously gifted, saving the immortal domain single-handedly. My disciple has found herself a fine match."

Yu Qingning sighed, and felt joy for her own disciple as well.

Over these past few days they had also learned of some news.

Neither had expected that Jun Xiaoyao had accomplished something so momentous.

"However, for some reason, I always feel a sense of unease in my heart." The Yaochi Sacred Master said, her willow-leaf brows furrowing slightly.

"Oh? Why is that?" Yu Qingning asked.

"On Jiang Shengyi, I see traces of the Queen Mother of the West." The Yaochi Sacred Master said.

Yu Qingning's expression froze, then she said, "That shouldn't be possible, should it? The calamity of the foreign realm has only just been quelled — could there really be another disaster and tribulation?"

"I can only hope I'm overthinking it." The Yaochi Sacred Master shook her head slightly.

……

Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Shengyi, and Jiang Luoli rode the Azure Sky Great Roc and returned to the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

And the matter of Yaochi had completely spread far and wide.

Jun Xiaoyao's return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, where he directly annihilated an entire group of beings from the Holy Spirit Island.

Even the Stone Emperor's companion holy spirit beast, the Purple Gold Sacred Qilin, had been personally refined by Jun Xiaoyao.

This display of dominance shook the entire immortal domain.

Jun Xiaoyao's purpose could be considered achieved.

And on another side.

Within a small void world carved out by a supremely powerful being.

An incomparably vast island, like a continent unto itself, floated within it.

Within it, various immortal metals gleamed brilliantly, Dao principles wound in countless threads, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled in dense mist.

This was unmistakably the headquarters of the immortal force, Holy Spirit Island.

At this moment, deep within Holy Spirit Island, inside an ancient stone grotto.

A towering figure clad in stone armor sat cross-legged.

That stone armor was incomparably ancient, even somewhat battered and worn, carrying a sense of age-old vicissitudes.

And that figure was a very young man, muscles bulging like cast gold and iron.

His skin was most peculiar, presenting a rock-like grayish-white color, yet carrying a force of undying imperishability.

He was none other than the Young Stone Emperor of Holy Spirit Island, a young holy spirit whose name shook the immortal domain.

And his father was a great perfection holy spirit who had once swept through the immortal domain, an invincible Stone Emperor who had transformed from an immortal stone womb.

As the direct descendant of the Stone Emperor, the Young Stone Emperor naturally inherited some of his father's talents and abilities.

From him too radiated a sense of undying imperishability.

That was the power belonging to the immortal stone womb.

It was precisely because of this that the Young Stone Emperor desired Jiang Shengyi's Nine Apertures Holy Spirit Stone Womb.

If he were to fuse with it, it would push his already monstrous natural gifts to yet another peak.

Even reaching a state of perfection in a certain sense.

At that moment, a figure appeared — a seed-level figure of Holy Spirit Island, and one of the Young Stone Emperor's followers.

"My lord, regarding the Bone Woman…"

This seed-level genius hesitated, his expression looking rather unpleasant.

"Speak." The Young Stone Emperor said flatly.

"The Nine Apertures Holy Spirit Stone Womb was not retrieved. The Bone Woman and the others all perished. Even…"

"The Purple Gold Sacred Qilin, has also fallen."

"What?!"

Within the Young Stone Emperor's pupils, terrifying gray beams of light burst forth.

That was the powerful stone-petrifying demonic light.

"Not only that, they were all refined as well." The seed-level genius said in a heavy voice.

Boom!

The Young Stone Emperor's aura erupted, and the entire stone grotto rumbled and trembled, dust cascading down in streams.

"Explain clearly. How could a mere Yaochi Sacred Land possibly achieve something to this degree!" The Young Stone Emperor said coldly and sharply.

What followed was this follower relaying everything that had occurred at the Yaochi Sacred Land to the Young Stone Emperor.

After hearing it all, the Young Stone Emperor fell silent, his expression ice-cold, like an abyss frozen since time immemorial.
