"The end of the Ancient Road…"
Jun Xiaoyao murmured, his expression unruffled.
That was a place he was destined to reach.
"After signing in for so long, there haven't been any nine-star or ten-star rewards. Next time, shouldn't I get a lucky break?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled.
Up until now, the highest star rating he had received from signing in was an eight-star reward.
If seven-star and eight-star rewards were already so rare and powerful, then how rare would nine-star and ten-star rewards be? They might be world-rare Divine Ability or wondrous items.
Of course, this was a matter of probability, and Jun Xiaoyao had no control over it.
"I just hope this System isn't like a certain company in my previous life, where the probability of drawing a high-star item was only a few tenths of a percent." Jun Xiaoyao also joked.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao also thought about what he would do next.
"My goals moving forward are, first, to continue refining Immortal Qi, and second, to accumulate my foundation and powerfully Breakthrough to Saint King." Jun Xiaoyao mused.
He wasn't accustomed to breaking through one Realm at a time.
If he was going to Breakthrough, he wanted to Breakthrough thoroughly; a half-Breakthrough was the most uncomfortable.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had the foundation left by the fairy embryo, it wasn't enough for him to continuously Breakthrough several minor Realms.
After reaching the Saint Realm, it was difficult to Breakthrough even a minor Realm, let alone directly Breakthrough to Great Perfection.
Even a Prodigy like Jun Xiaoyao needed to accumulate some foundation and various Heaven And Earth Treasure to achieve this.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao continued his journey alone on the Ancient Road.
Compared to the Emperor Road in Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, the Ultimate Ancient Road was clearly much more desolate.
However, because this was the ultimate path where the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain converged, one could occasionally see star-spanning flying boats traversing or Cultivators riding exotic beasts flying by.
They did not approach Jun Xiaoyao, each going their own way, highly vigilant.
Even within the same Immortal Domain, Prodigies walking the Emperor Road would be wary of each other, even fighting to the death.
Not to mention Prodigies from other Immortal Domains; their hostility and vigilance would only be heavier.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Jun Xiaoyao continued his journey.
He hadn't even reached the first Ancient Star on the Ancient Road.
"This Ultimate Ancient Road is much, much longer than the Emperor Road in Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped, his tone flat: "You've been following me for days. What do you want?"
From the depths of the starry sky behind him, a chubby, yellow-clad Fat Man with a potbelly, a look of awkward smiles, stepped forward.
"Greetings, Young Master." The Fat Man cupped his hands.
"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"I am Lu Renjia from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in Xuantian Immortal Domain. Young Master can just call me Little Lu."
"I love making friends the most. Observing Young Master's Immortal Qi and Immortal demeanor, you must be an extraordinary individual. May I be honored to get to know you?"
The Fat Man named Lu Renjia showered him with flattery, his beady eyes gleaming.
The Heavenly Secret Pavilion, though not an Immortal Force, had a minor reputation in Xuantian Immortal Domain.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in random passersby." Jun Xiaoyao was about to leave.
Lu Renjia said, "May I ask if Young Master is going to the Tenth Pass to participate in the Prodigy gathering?"
Jun Xiaoyao paused slightly and said, "What is that?"
Lu Renjia then smiled and said, "Young Master might not know, but when Prodigies from the nine Emperor Roads gather, it's inevitable that some Prodigies with treasures they don't need will exchange them with others."
"And the Tenth Pass of the Ancient Road, Shangqiu Ancient Star, is considered the most prosperous Ancient Star in the early stage of the Ancient Road. The Myriad Clans Commerce Alliance is holding a Prodigy gathering there, where various rare treasures can be traded."
Lu Renjia's words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flash.
Doesn't he have over a hundred Dao Certification Mark that he doesn't need?
Instead of wasting them, it would be better to exchange them for treasures that could help him Breakthrough his Realm and cultivation.
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao seemed interested, Lu Renjia continued, "At that Prodigy gathering, many treasures might appear: Immortal Gold, peerless Undying Medicine, and even Immortal Pill fragments."
Jun Xiaoyao was surprised to hear that.
He hadn't expected there to be even Immortal Pill fragments.
Anything related to Immortals was extremely precious, such as remnant immortal blood, fairy embryo, and so on.
"Of course, even the rarest Dao Certification Mark can be traded." Lu Renjia sighed with admiration.
Jun Xiaoyao just smiled at that.
What he lacked the least was Dao Certification Mark.
"You know quite a lot." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Of course, my Heavenly Secret Pavilion is an intelligence organization in Xuantian Immortal Domain." Lu Renjia said, patting his potbelly.
Seeing that Lu Renjia still had some use, Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind bringing him along.
Lu Renjia rubbed his hands, asking if he was a Giant-level Prodigy.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
Upon seeing this, although a hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Renjia's eyes, he didn't show it.
"Haha, bro, follow Brother Lu, and you're guaranteed to have good things to eat." Lu Renjia relaxed, patted Jun Xiaoyao's shoulder, and said casually.
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
Just now, he told Jun Xiaoyao to call him Little Lu.
Now he immediately became Brother Lu.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did not deceive Lu Renjia.
He was indeed not a Giant Prodigy, not even a Forbidden Talents.
He was an immeasurable eternal anomaly!
Next, the two set off together.
It must be said that with this Fat Man to relieve boredom, Jun Xiaoyao would not be bored.
Once Lu Renjia started talking, he was unstoppable, talking from south to north.
"Speaking of which, the most prosperous Ancient Royal Family force in my Xuantian Immortal Domain is undoubtedly the Sun God Mountain. With the Ten Crown Prince appearing, who can contend against them?" Lu Renjia spoke eloquently.
"Sun God Mountain…" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed.
It seemed that his follower, Yi Yu's Yi Clan, was destroyed because of the Sun God Mountain, right?
"The Sun God Mountain can be said to be the top Royal Family overlord of my Xuantian Immortal Domain. They instigated the Immortal Battle, first destroying the ancient Imperial Clan Yi Clan, then attacking the Moon God Palace, acting arrogantly and domineeringly…" Lu Renjia said.
Jun Xiaoyao was deep in thought.
He had previously promised to help Yi Yu get revenge.
Now it seemed, the opportunity had arrived.
"Sun God Mountain, Golden Crow Tenth Prince…" A faint smile curved on Jun Xiaoyao's lips.
Next, after about half a year, Jun Xiaoyao and Lu Renjia had traversed seven or eight life-bearing Ancient Star, finally nearing the Tenth Pass, Shangqiu Ancient Star.
During this period, there were naturally many dangers.
Various Void Realm forbidden zones, ruthless demonic robbers, and even foreign races from the Universe were all extremely dangerous.
But these dangers were all swept away by Jun Xiaoyao alone.
At this point, even if Lu Renjia was foolish, he knew that Jun Xiaoyao was definitely an extraordinary individual.
"No wonder he said he wasn't a Giant; it turns out he's a Forbidden Talents…"
Lu Renjia's attitude towards Jun Xiaoyao once again became respectful, changing from Brother Lu back to Little Lu.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind these minor details.
As they approached Shangqiu Ancient Star, the surrounding flow of people also increased.
There were powerful Prodigies pulling carriages with ancient beasts.
Some Prodigies rode Phoenix birds.
Various types of flying ships and star-spanning flying boats converged towards Shangqiu Ancient Star.
"At this Prodigy gathering, I must exchange for treasures to refine Immortal Qi."
"Hehe, I'm here to see the Fairy of Shennv Fang, Tiannv Yuan."
"Yes, I heard Tiannv Yuan's long-sleeved dance, her Luo River Goddess Astonishing Dance, captivates all beings."
Around them, some Prodigies were conversing.
"It's quite lively here." Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.
After walking in the desolate Universe for a long time, it was nice to occasionally come to a place with human activity.
Just then, a surge of magical power suddenly erupted ahead, and Divine Ability light diffused.
A petite figure, extremely agile, leaped through the Void Realm like a rabbit kicking its legs.
Behind her, four extremely powerful figures were in pursuit.
One of them, a burly figure like a demonic mountain, let out a roar: "We Eight Little Saints are here to encircle and hunt our prey! Unrelated individuals, step aside!"
As he spoke, he casually slapped, turning a Prodigy who had approached their path into a bloody mist with a single palm.
"Hiss… Could it be four of the Ancient Royal Family's Eight Little Saints?" Lu Renjia gasped, a look of apprehension in his eyes.
"Ancient Royal Family's Eight Little Saints?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed confusion.
"Young Master, you might not know, but they are eight powerful Prodigies from the Ancient Royal Family. They are all on the Giant list, and their strength is very formidable." Lu Renjia said.
At this moment, the petite figure just happened to flee towards their direction.
"Let's go." Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.
On the Ultimate Ancient Road, such pursuits were common.
Jun Xiaoyao was not the kind of good person who would draw his sword to help when he saw injustice.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others were about to leave, the four Ancient Royal Family powerhouses behind them had already approached.
"You won't get out of the way when told, blocking the path!"
The burly man casually struck with his palm, like a black sky collapsing.
Lu Renjia's face turned pale with fright, his fat jiggling.
"Hm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a cold gaze.
