Jun Xiaoyao had never forgotten the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art.

With a single sword strike sweeping out, it reflected the terrifying sight of countless immortals falling.

The Quasi-Supreme of the Ancestral Dragon Nest had been instantly slain in three strikes.

Though this was partly because the Eighteenth Ancestor's cultivation was profoundly high, another reason was that the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art was simply too powerful.

The Eighteenth Ancestor said, "In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, there are countless sword arts, but the only ones that can truly stand at the pinnacle are the Five Divine Arts. Our Jun Family's Immortal-Slaying Sword Art is one of them."

"The Five Divine Arts..." Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Though he had long known that the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art was no ordinary art, he had never expected it to be one of the Five Divine Arts.

"No wonder I couldn't find the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art in the Jun Family's Martial Pavilion." Jun Xiaoyao came to a realization.

"Hehe, naturally. Such a sword art is mainly difficult to learn. Even if it were opened to ordinary clansmen, they might spend more than a decade without even entering the door. It would only be a waste of time," the Eighteenth Ancestor explained.

Jun Xiaoyao deeply agreed.

For anyone without extraordinary talent and comprehension, cultivating the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art would indeed be futile and a waste of time.

But unfortunately, Jun Xiaoyao happened to be someone whose talent and comprehension could be called monstrous.

"Then, Ancestor, this Immortal-Slaying Sword Art..." Jun Xiaoyao trailed off.

"I did not give it to you before because I feared it would delay your cultivation. But now, you are about to venture out into the world, and you truly need some trump cards. Though the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and Supreme Bone are powerful, martial arts and divine abilities themselves are also indispensable," the Eighteenth Ancestor cautioned.

Next, the Eighteenth Ancestor imparted the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art to Jun Xiaoyao.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Art was divided into three forms.

The first form, Immortal Fall, was a sword of mana that targeted the physical body.

The second form, Immortal Annihilation, was a sword of the soul that targeted the Divine Palace Realm Primordial Spirit.

The final form was Immortal Slaughter, a sword that fused flesh and spirit into one. It was the move the Eighteenth Ancestor had used to slay the Quasi-Supreme in three strikes.

"If you can enter the door of the first form within three years, you may have a chance to cultivate it to completion," the Eighteenth Ancestor said with a faint smile.

"Yes." Jun Xiaoyao nodded, though he secretly thought to himself.

Three years? I can't wait that long...

The Eighteenth Ancestor looked at Jun Xiaoyao. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again. "Xiaoyao, there are two more things I must tell you."

"Please speak, Ancestor," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"When you reach your eighteenth-year coming-of-age ceremony, I will tell you the hidden secrets behind our Jun Family, as well as matters concerning your father."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes trembled at those words.

The secrets behind the Jun Family?

Jun Xiaoyao was also very curious. What kind of hidden story lay behind the Jun Family, a clan so powerful and glorious beyond measure?

But more importantly, there were matters concerning his father, Jun Wuhui!

Jun Xiaoyao had heard the four words White-Clothed Divine King so often that his ears were nearly callused.

What kind of person was his father? Why had he left and never returned?

What exactly had happened back then?

"It is still too early for you to know these things. At your coming-of-age ceremony, this old man will tell you everything," the Eighteenth Ancestor said.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and did not press further.

Among the younger generation of prodigies, he indeed swept through all directions without equal.

But he still lacked the ability to come into contact with such secrets.

During the following days, Jun Xiaoyao remained by the Eighteenth Ancestor's side as the Eighteenth Ancestor personally explained the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art to him.

When the Eighteenth Ancestor had cultivated the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art in the past, it had taken him a year to enter the door, and that was already exceptionally monstrous.

Yet three months later.

Within the Jun Family's ancestral land, Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, and vast golden mana divine power surged forth.

He held two fingers together as a sword. A dazzling sword radiance burst through the sky, while phantom images of immortals and gods seemed to manifest around him.

The sword radiance swept out as though it wished to sever stars beyond the heavens. Even the void trembled, and the clouds at the horizon collapsed!

Rumble!

After the sword radiance swept past, a vast stretch of clouds was sliced in two. The remaining Sword Qi shot wildly in all directions, startling many Jun Family elders and important figures.

"That is... the aura of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art. Could it be the Eighteenth Ancestor?"

"No, though this sword radiance is astonishingly powerful, it has not reached the Eighteenth Ancestor's level. It is the Divine Child!"

Many Jun Family elders and disciples stared in utter shock.

It had only been three months, hadn't it?

Not only had Jun Xiaoyao entered the door, he could already directly unleash the first form of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art.

Within the ancestral land, the Eighteenth Ancestor looked at Jun Xiaoyao and was briefly stunned, not knowing what expression he should wear.

"The first form actually took three months. This Immortal-Slaying Sword Art truly is difficult to learn." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed.

He was not deliberately putting on airs. Jun Xiaoyao had never spent more than seven days cultivating any martial art or divine ability before.

By comparison, taking three months to cultivate the first form of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art truly was slow.

"Cough..." The Eighteenth Ancestor's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Ancestor, what is wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Nothing, nothing. This old ancestor wants to lie back in his coffin and sleep for a while," the Eighteenth Ancestor said.

Being around Jun Xiaoyao had made even the Eighteenth Ancestor's Dao heart begin to waver. He needed to calm his emotions.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for teaching me. Xiaoyao shall take his leave."

Jun Xiaoyao was tactful as well and did not continue disturbing the Eighteenth Ancestor.

After leaving the ancestral land, Jun Xiaoyao headed straight for the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

To his relief, Jiang Luoli had finally left.

He truly had no interest in that little girl.

When Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Palace, he discovered that Jun Zhantian was waiting for him.

"Have you learned the Immortal-Slaying Sword Art?" Jun Zhantian asked.

"More or less. Just the first form," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"What a little monster..." Jun Zhantian thought to himself before speaking. "Grandfather did not expect that you had another Supreme Bone hidden away."

Jun Xiaoyao's expression did not change, though he secretly thought that this bone had clearly come from signing in.

However, after obtaining it, it was no different from a bone Jun Xiaoyao had been born with.

"Does Grandfather need something?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Jun Zhantian would not have come looking for him without reason.

Jun Zhantian said, "Xiaoyao, though you possess two top-tier physiques, cultivating them will require twice the effort. Especially the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. When you were born, you awakened its first phenomenon, Myriad Saints Paying Homage. But the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body possesses a full six great phenomena."

Jun Zhantian's words caused Jun Xiaoyao to sink into thought.

Indeed, cultivating the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was even more difficult than cultivating the Supreme Bone.

Awakening phenomena was not a simple matter either.

Though Jun Xiaoyao's talent was monstrous, there still had to be a process.

"Grandfather may know of a place that could possibly help you accelerate your comprehension of the Sacred Body's second phenomenon," Jun Zhantian said.

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised a brow. There was such a place?

"Have you heard of the Panwu Divine Dynasty?" Jun Zhantian asked.

"The Panwu Divine Dynasty? It seems to be a top force on the level of an Immortal Divine Dynasty," Jun Xiaoyao said.

In his spare time, he had browsed through ancient records and gained some understanding of the major forces within the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

"That is correct. The founder of the Panwu Divine Dynasty was a Great Emperor named Panwu Great Emperor. But that is not important. What is important is that rumor has it he also possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body..."

"There are rumors that deep within the Panwu Divine Dynasty's imperial palace lies a Panwu Mausoleum, which may be connected to Panwu Great Emperor..."

Just as Jun Zhantian's words fell, the system's mechanical voice rang out in Jun Xiaoyao's mind once more.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. A new sign-in location has been refreshed!"

"Please sign in at the Panwu Mausoleum!"
