1 An Accomplished Sacred Body, and Reverence of the Ten Thousand Saints

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Emperor State, one of the 3000 mystical states of the Huangtian Mystic Realm was the Emperor State. That was where the Jun family, a Clan of the Ancients, was based in.

The Jun family was one of the most glorious cultivation forces in the Mystic Realm. Countless eons ago, there had even been a Supreme Emperor in their midst.

The Emperor State and even the entire Mystic Realm itself had been trembling for quite a while.

There were rumors that the phenomenon happened because there was a legendary figure, who had been nurtured in the womb for ten years, about to be born into the Jun family.

In the Heavenly Emperor Palace, located in the Godly Island of Xukong in the Jun family...

All the elders of the family were breathing anxiously at that moment as they looked at the newborn.

The baby never cried after birth; he simply looked around at his surroundings with confused eyes.

However, what caught the elders' attention was how that baby was glittering with a golden light. He looked as if he was an infant born from a true dragon.

With a gasp, one elder asked, "Is this… the Sacred Body of the Ancients?"

Another elder lamented, "There's no mistaking it. This is definitely the Sacred Body of the Ancients. Why... why are the heavens doing this to us of the Jun family!?"

Nobody in the Jun family was delighted by a baby born with the Sacred Body of the Ancients. Instead, they were all lamenting at the fact in disappointment.

The reason why that happened was simple. Such a body was deemed nearly invincible in ancient times, making it one of the top five among the 3000 physiques listed. As such, it was something that could contend with other strong physiques like the Mystical Body of Eternity, the Godly Body of Chaos, and the Warlord Body of the Heavens among some others.

An accomplished sacred body could even be deemed an equal to a supreme emperor of ancient times.

However, the rules of the world have changed drastically in recent times. As a result, the world itself became ill-suited for nurturing a Sacred Body of the Ancients.

There were even 10 shackles put into place by the heavens to impede the progress of a sacred body.

The baby, who was known in his past life as Jun Xiaoyao, remained confused.

'Huh. So I've transcended and got myself a white elephant of a body.'

Jun Xiaoyao had been an orphan in his past life who had been adopted by a blind fortuneteller.

The blind fortuneteller told him that, while he would remain poor and destitute in his current life, he would definitely be favored by the heavens in his next one. This enabled him to become unbelievably successful in his next life.

Back then, Jun Xiaoyao didn't believe any of it before an accident quickly claimed his life. When he opened his eyes again, he became a baby.

'Seems like I'm born at the finishing line of this life then', Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He was able to tell from how the elders talked that the Jun family he was born in was a very glorious Clan of the Ancients.

'Still… why am I born in a family like this with a practically useless body? Am I gonna start my life as a good-for-nothing again?' Jun Xiaoyao lamented deep down.

At that moment, he heard a mechanical voice in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to host for acquiring the system check-in."

"Ding, check-in location refreshed. Birthplace, the Heavenly Emperor Palace."

"Ding, you have acquired Extreme Beginner's Luck in this check-in. A five-star rare reward would be given. Confirm check-in?"

Huh? Was this a system of some sort?

Jun Xiaoyao was hardly surprised.

'Confirm check-in,' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for checking in successfully. Eight-star rare reward acquired: An Accomplished Sacred Body."

Boom!

After the system made its announcement, Jun Xiaoyao felt a rumbling burst of energy erupting within his body as if it were a volcano.

Ten spectral golden shackles appeared on his body; they were the 10 shackles from the heavens mentioned before.

"What is going on?"

The elders were all alerted and they all turned their attention to Jun Xiaoyao.

What happened next was a massive shock to all of the elders present.

Crack!

The first golden chain crumbled.

Boom!

Unbelievably terrifying qi welled within his body.

The second golden chain then shattered with a crack as well.

The entire Heavenly Emperor Palace shook and shimmered with dazzling lights.

The third, fourth, and fifth chains followed suit.

Eventually, all ten shackles were broken.

Boom!

The heavens above shook as a storm seemed to be coming, with terrifying thunder crackling everywhere.

The specters of at least ten-thousand saints appeared in the sky in tight formations and paid their respects to that island of the Jun family.

The unreal phenomenon shocked the entire Huangtian Mystic Realm.

"My goodness, what is happening? Why are there specters of saints appearing in midair?"

"Look at where they are bowing to. It's the Jun family of the Emperor State!"

"It must be due to the birth of that talent of Qilin after being in the womb for 10 years! Just what type of body does that kid have to trigger the Reverence of the Ten Thousand Saints?"

Great figures of many undying dynasties and ancient cultivation forces throughout the 3000 mystical states throughout the Huangtian Mystic Realm gasped.

Such a phenomenon had never occurred in eons, even during the birth of some of the ancient great emperors.

Many were curious about just what kind of an unreal body that newborn baby had to be given for something like that to happen.

The elders that had gathered in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, who were all used to witnessing such mystical occurrences, were now left with their jaws dropped in confusion where they stood.

An elder appeared wearing a golden robe, while his hair and beard had all turned silver. He tearfully exclaimed, "Haha! This boy is my grandson! My grandson is destined to be a great emperor!"

The elder was Jun Zhantian, who was of a very prestigious position within the Jun family. Despite that, he danced about as if he was some childish old man, cradling Jun Xiaoyao in his arms in utter delight.

The words that Jun Xiaoyao had just heard felt rather familiar to him. He felt rather exasperated, as a result.

He felt as if he was some old general character in ancient opera plays, with flags sticking out of his back.

'Yeah, that's my grandpa, alright.'

Another elder praised in astonishment, "This is marvelous! A Sacred Body of the Ancients with all shackles inherently broken! This has never happened before! You can look into the records for the past million years and you won't be able to find even one instance of something similar happening!"

"With someone like this in our midst, we of the Jun family would stand a chance of having a great emperor among us for a generation!"

Yet another elder jeered, "Haha, that Lair of Zulong fools of the far ancient royal family looked down upon us just because they had Long Aotian who had imperial dragon blood in their midst, saying that we of the Jun family had nobody capable among our younger generations! How preposterous indeed!"

While the Jun family was an extremely prestigious and glorious clan within all of Huangtian Mystic Realm, that did not mean that they had no enemies.

Far ancient royal families like the Lair of Zulong and the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain were a few of the clans that stood against the Jun family.

Places like Bane of Life and Withered Lands were considered phantom menaces to the family, as well.

However, all the elders present believed none of those clans would pose problems for long now that Jun Xiaoyao was born into the family.

That was because the Jun family now had someone with an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Ancients that had broken all shackles on it.

Booooom…

Golden blood flowed within Jun Xiaoyao's veins.

His aura grew once all of the shackles were broken from his sacred body.

Muscle Forging!

Bone Tempering!

Blood Changing!

Wits Opening!

Spirit Gathering!

It all happened right before the astonished eyes of Jun Zhantian and the rest of the elders present.

Jun Xiaoyao broke through all five physical stages on the spot.

It was worth noting that even some geniuses needed at least five years before being able to finish breaking through all five physical body stages. Furthermore, that rate of progress was made possible only with the immense use of sacred pills.

However, Jun Xiaoyao managed to broke through all five in mere moments after birth. If the news were to be spread, it would have caused many geniuses to doubt their talents.

"A Sacred Body of the Ancients that had broken through all the shackles... My goodness, just what kind of a f*cking genius is he going to be!" All of the elders, who had seen several weird and extraordinary happenings throughout their lives, no longer cared for watching their mouths when talking about what was happening before them.

Then again, that was not the most astonishing thing to happen just yet.

There seemed to be specters of over 10000 saints hovering in midair around Jun Xiaoyao, worshipping and chanting at him.

"Are you telling me that the Reverence of Ten Thousand Saints is happening right before my eyes?"

Jun Zhantian and all the other elders were so shocked that they felt that they were no longer able to feel anything.

Generally-speaking, both sacred and godly bodies would generate their own extraordinary phenomena.

"It is said that an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Ancients would trigger six types of phenomena. When all six are triggered, the phenomena would resonate with the Reincarnations of the Six Paths. That will enable the one to reign supreme over everyone," an elder elaborated with an intense gaze.

Jun Zhantian simply couldn't stop grinning. He felt as if he was able to see his grandson ascending to the throne of the great emperor, where everyone would kneel before his descendant.

The elders were not only the ones astonished; even Jun Xiaoyao himself seemed rather impressed.

He was born with invincible talents and an unbelievable background. Furthermore, he also came with a check-in system. All of those combined made Jun Xiaoyao wonder just how the geniuses of his generation would be able to live with themselves now that he was there.

Just when he was wondering whether or not he should just keep a low profile in the future, something else happened.

Another prompt from the system was heard in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host. New check-in location refreshed."
