Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Body Book of the Nine Great Celestial Books, Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength Attained, Cyan Heaven Ancestral Dragon Armor
Ji Xuan’s long-coveted great opportunity was ultimately snatched by Jun Xiaoyao.
If there was nothing valuable inside the box, it would have been a waste of Ji Xuan’s painstaking efforts.
Jun Xiaoyao opened the box.
At first glance, what met his eyes was a scroll with an ancient, dark golden appearance, seemingly made of gold foil.
"What is this?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured with slight confusion.
He opened the dark golden scroll.
Instantly, countless ancient characters floated before Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes.
Each ancient character emitted endless divine radiance, like stars in the sky in motion.
If an ordinary person were to glance at them, they would be blinded instantly.
But Jun Xiaoyao was different; possessing the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, his eyes shone with golden light, swiftly scanning over them.
With just one glance, Jun Xiaoyao’s face registered surprise.
For someone as composed as Jun Xiaoyao to exhibit such an expression, the level of his astonishment was unimaginable.
"Could this be... one of the Nine Great Celestial Books?"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly bewildered, finding it hard to believe.
In the Immortal Realm, there would hardly be any cultivator unaware of the Nine Great Celestial Books.
The Nine Great Celestial Books were not written by humans nor were they a heritage of any particular lineage.
From the very beginning of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm’s existence, the Nine Great Celestial Books were already there.
Some say the Nine Great Celestial Books were written by Immortals.
Others claim they are the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao Rules.
In any case, there are various theories.
But one thing is certain: no single person could have created the Nine Great Celestial Books.
Not even a Great Emperor could craft them.
The most precious aspect of the Nine Great Celestial Books is that each book represents an extreme principle.
For instance, the Void Book, one of the Nine Great Celestial Books, epitomizes the Ultimate Dao of Space.
The Time Book epitomizes the Ultimate Dao of Time.
The other books all represent different ultimate daos.
There is also a rumor that if one could collect all nine of the Celestial Books, one could combine them to forge a Path to Immortality.
It is because of these various rumors about the Nine Great Celestial Books that countless people have been fervently searching for them.
But throughout countless epochs of history, not only has no one gathered all nine Celestial Books, even finding one or two is deemed extravagant.
Jun Xiaoyao never expected that inside this wooden box, there would be a Celestial Book.
"From its contents, it appears to be the Body Book, one of the Nine Great Celestial Books, representing the Ultimate Dao of the Flesh," Jun Xiaoyao murmured, unable to hide the tremor in his voice.
No one could see a Celestial Book and not be excited.
More coincidentally, this book happened to be the Body Book, one of the Nine Great Celestial Books, perfectly complementing Jun Xiaoyao’s Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
"First was the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength, and now the Body Book. Is this guiding me to prove the Dao with my physical body?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered internally.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did furrow his brow slightly as this volume of the Body Book seemed incomplete.
It looked like it was only the first volume.
"Indeed, before, the remnant soul of the Primordial Heaven Venerable mentioned that the rest might be in the Lower Realm Continent,"
"Does this mean the second volume of the Body Book is among the Ten Lands?" Jun Xiaoyao mused.
It’s a very likely possibility.
"It seems I must make a trip to the lower realms in the future; the Body Book is too crucial for me," Jun Xiaoyao stated.
His Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, coupled with the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength and the Body Book, one of the Nine Great Celestial Books.
Once mastered, how formidable would his physical body become?
Even the Great Emperors who proved the Dao through their physical bodies during the Taigu era would pale in comparison to him, wouldn’t they?
Inside the wooden box, aside from the Body Book, was also a fragmented bronze piece.
Compared to the Body Book, this bronze fragment seemed quite unremarkable.
It didn’t even seem like some form of Immortal Gold, appearing very ancient.
Yet when Jun Xiaoyao held it in his hand, he discovered, to his surprise, that he couldn’t crush this bronze fragment.
With the current strength of Jun Xiaoyao’s physical body, it’s incredibly formidable; although he may not be able to crush Immortal Gold, he can at least easily shatter ordinary Prince’s Weapons.
Yet this seemingly unremarkable bronze fragment was exceptionally sturdy.
"That’s a bit peculiar; I should let grandfather and the others take a look later," Jun Xiaoyao remarked, storing the bronze fragment away.
Next, he pulled out the Saint King’s Hand Bone and the five Dragon Bones.
Jun Xiaoyao had already separated the Saint King’s Hand Bone.
The entire hand bone was white as jade, etched with complex Dao Patterns.
Even just lying there, it exuded a Saint Realm’s oppressive aura.
The reason Ji Xuan could stand out among the Celestial Pride was largely due to this Saint King’s Hand Bone.
One hand bone could create a powerful Celestial Pride.
But Jun Xiaoyao had no intention of integrating the bone into his own arm.
The thought of having someone else’s bone fused into his own body was spine-chilling.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao’s Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was already one of the strongest physiques, immeasurably more powerful when fully developed than the Saint King’s Hand Bone.
He saw no need to act counterproductively.
"Though I won’t integrate it into my arm, I could use it to forge a Magical Artifact," Jun Xiaoyao mused aloud.
The Saint King’s Hand Bone, he planned to craft into a weapon.
As for those five Dragon Bones,
Four of the Ancient Dragon Bones, Jun Xiaoyao intended to reward to Jun Zhangjian and others.
After all, they had also played a significant role in the success of the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure adventure.
The benefits owed must be given.
As for the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, Jun Xiaoyao naturally planned to refine it for himself.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao summoned the Hell Furnace, absorbing the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone into it.
Instantly, torrents of essence qi surged tumultuously.
The power contained within the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone was incredibly potent, if obtained by Xiao Chen, it would directly cause a major transformation.
But now, all of it benefited Jun Xiaoyao.
Inside him, crackling sounds akin to exploding beans resounded, as one after another, Giant Elephant Particles awakened.
Eighty thousand...
Ninety thousand...
Ultimately, within Jun Xiaoyao’s body, all hundred thousand Giant Elephant Particles fully awakened!
Jun Xiaoyao’s entire body radiated a golden divine radiance!
Behind him, a tremendously solid, almost tangible golden Divine Elephant emerged, its trunk coiled high as it bellowed skyward, exuding a posture poised to suppress all directions and roar down stars!
In that moment, the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength entered the minor achievement of its first phase.
With every gesture, Jun Xiaoyao unleashed divine power weighing ten billion jin, capable of shattering stars with a single punch, collapsing ancient peaks!
"The Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone is truly extraordinary; this energy is so immense," Jun Xiaoyao marveled.
After the transformation of the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength, the next step is to convert the Giant Elephant Particles into Dragon Elephant Particles.
Dragon Elephant Particles are ten times more potent than Giant Elephant Particles.
In other words, if Jun Xiaoyao converts all the Giant Elephant Particles into Dragon Elephant Particles, his physical divine power will increase tenfold.
That would be a divine power of one hundred billion jin!
The thought alone is terrifying.
Furthermore, the benefits from the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone don’t stop there.
Because within the Ancestral Dragon Bone, the Ancestral Dragon Blood Marrow is concealed.
This energy, fused with the Dragon Qi within Jun Xiaoyao, caused his Dragon Scale Armor to undergo yet another transformation.
Jun Xiaoyao gently activated it, and a cyan-gold Dragon Armor that fitted his body emerged.
This Dragon Armor was more than ten times stronger in defense compared to the previous Dragon Scale Armor.
With the Dragon Armor donned, Jun Xiaoyao exuded less of an Exiled Immortal’s ethereal aura, adopting more of a War God’s coldly arrogant and imposing demeanor.
At this moment, he appeared more like the True Dragon Emperor of the Ancestral Dragon Nest than even Long Haotian and his ilk.
"Let’s call this armor the Cyan Heaven Ancestral Dragon Armor," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
Originally, this Cyan Heaven Ancestral Dragon Armor was a method Xiao Chen could have conjured.
But since both the Dragon Qi and Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone were seized by Jun Xiaoyao, it inadvertently benefited Jun Xiaoyao instead.
