Sacred Body

With a gentle wave of his folding fan, the gods of the Three Realms couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"He's merely a mortal, yet he exudes an aura of transcendence. Truly a suave and elegant young master of this world."

Su Yang's gaze swept over everyone present, and he slowly said, "Since everyone is interested, I shall elaborate in detail."

"Who exactly was the Void Great Emperor, born at the end of the Desolate Ancient Era? And why did his actions surpass those of the Great Emperors in the Primordial World, making him a superior existence?"

Su Yang gently fanned himself, his voice low yet clear, reaching everyone's ears.

Whether it was the powerful beings watching the inn from afar, beyond the Three Realms, or the guests within the inn, all were deeply captivated by his narration.

They felt as if they were transported to another world, personally experiencing the magnificent and vast expanse of time and space, feeling its reality and immensity.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they couldn't help but wonder, "Does that Shrouding the Heavens World truly exist?"

Su Yang continued, "In the Desolate Ancient Era, that turbulent time, myriad races stood tall, and all the Sages contended. As for the Human Race, only the last Great Accomplishment Sacred Body remained to defend it."

"That Sacred Body had already grown old, and after him, no one else could cultivate the Sacred Body."

"The undercurrent of the Dark Turmoil was quietly brewing, only needing a catalyst to sweep across the land. It would take at most a few hundred years. Those Supremes who had once severed themselves, who had previously feared the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, but now, he was old..."

"The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body sighed. Seeing his descendants wither and the lineage of talents cut off, he couldn't imagine what catastrophe would befall them if he were to completely age and perish before the Human Race could birth a Great Emperor."

"It was in such a turbulent and unstable era that a young man named Ji Xukong entered the sight of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body."

The listeners seemed to witness the aged Great Accomplishment Sacred Body with their own eyes, feeling the surging Bloodline Power emanating from him.

They felt his unyielding will, as well as his sorrow and worry born from the Human Race having no Emperor.

"Who is this Great Accomplishment Sacred Body? Is he... the guardian of the Human Race?"

Due to the shared bloodline, everyone felt as if they were experiencing it firsthand, finding it hard to accept that the Human Race's last hope had grown so old.

If he were to perish, where would the Human Race go?

When they heard of Ji Xukong's appearance, a glimmer of light appeared in everyone's eyes.

Ji Xukong! Could he be the future Void Great Emperor?

But why was he so young then?

"Facing the aged Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, Ji Xukong requested him to buy him a hundred years of time."

"Upon hearing this, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body merely sighed gently and told him frankly."

"What use is a hundred years? Do you know that no one in this world has ever proven the Dao and become an Emperor within five hundred years? Not even Emperor Venerable in the past, nor the Undying Heavenly Emperor."

"A Great Accomplishment Sacred Body gazed at Ji Xukong, sighing softly. This young man had exceptional talent and the potential to become a Great Emperor, but unfortunately, the time left for him was dwindling."

As these words fell, the eyes of the surrounding listeners flashed with a hint of terror and unease.

However, Su Yang did not pause and continued, "After hearing the words of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, Ji Xukong immediately swore that if no one could prove the Dao within five hundred years, then he, Ji Xukong, would ascend to the peak in the five hundred and first year!"

"A hundred years felt incredibly long, yet it passed in the blink of an eye."

"For a hundred years, Ji Xukong endured countless hardships, exhausting all means to temper himself. He knew deeply that the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's time was running out, and the hope of the Human Race could only be carried by him alone!"

"He contended with the kings of all races! He severed their true bodies, suppressed Sacred Spirits, and faced enemies from all directions! Each battle nearly pushed him to the brink of death!"

As Su Yang spoke, an unprecedented passion ignited in the eyes of the crowd.

Could it be that Ji Xukong would truly ascend to Emperor in the five hundred and first year?!

"Finally, in the five hundred and first year, the celestial phenomenon symbolizing the Great Emperor Tribulation arrived as scheduled!"

"The heavens trembled, chaotic lightning roared, dragon and phoenix cries echoed through the land, and laws intertwined, forming divine chains of order that pierced through the void!"

"And as the Great Emperor Tribulation descended, those Supremes slumbering in the Forbidden Zones of Life could no longer hold back."

"They had finally waited for the fall of nine Great Accomplishment Sacred Bodies. How could they allow another contemporary Great Emperor to stand above them? This was absolutely unbearable, absolutely intolerable!"

The crowd felt as if they were there, witnessing Ji Xukong standing tall in the sky under the thunderous might, facing the Heavenly Punishment without flinching!

At the same time, they saw that from within those Forbidden Zones of Life, dormant Supremes slowly revived and opened their eyes!

Pairs of massive eyes appeared in the heavens and earth, coldly and ruthlessly gazing at Ji Xukong!

The listeners couldn't help but tremble. The oppressive feeling was not just directed at Ji Xukong, but seemed to pierce through their very souls!

"And the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body looked at Ji Xukong, who had drawn the Great Emperor Tribulation, a look of relief appearing on his lips. At that moment, he was no longer aged, but his aura was like a rainbow, swallowing mountains and rivers!"

"He actually used his vital blood to forcibly ignite his combat power, temporarily restoring himself to his peak state!"

"For the continuation of the Human Race, to witness the birth of a Great Emperor, even in his twilight years, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body still stepped forward, buying time for the Human Race!"

"Facing those Forbidden Zones of Life head-on, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body roared, 'Anyone who dares to show themselves today will have a Supreme Being slain!'"

This roar shook the hearts of all who heard it!

Despite his old age and failing strength, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, with fearless resolve, fought to secure that sliver of opportunity for Ji Xukong to become an Emperor, even if it meant trading his life for it!

All so the Human Race could overcome this calamity and usher in a new dawn!

Tears welled up in the eyes of countless listeners, slowly tracing paths down their cheeks as their gazes remained fixed on the figure of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

"This senior is a powerhouse of our Human Race! He has sacrificed so much for us!"

"In an era without a Great Emperor, he protected the Human Race; when a Great Emperor was born, he guarded the land, aided his ascension, and stabilized the situation!"

"This senior deserves to be forever remembered by our Human Race!"

Listening to these heartfelt words, Su Yang felt a surge of joy within him.

This emotion was being continuously absorbed and transformed by the Storyteller System. As he watched his points rapidly increase, his heart was filled with excitement.

"Mister Su, what happened next? Please continue!"

"Yeah, Mister Su, don't keep us in suspense! What happened to that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body? Did Ji Xukong overcome the tribulation?"

"Mister Su, why do you always stop at crucial moments? Can't you just finish the story in one go?"

"If I didn't know I couldn't become Mister Su, I'd rush up and slap him a couple of times right now!"

"I feel the same way! He's definitely doing this on purpose, just trying to create suspense!"

Hearing these words, Su Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. He paused only to allow everyone to immerse themselves more deeply in the story.

However, he didn't tease them any further and continued, "As the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's words fell, a cold snort echoed from one of the Forbidden Zones of Life. The voice was icy and devoid of emotion."
