"Good, good, good! How many years has it been since our Holy Body lineage finally produced someone who defies Heaven and breaks the shackles of the world!"

The Martial Guardian uttered the word "good" three times, which shows just how excited he was inside.

It's no wonder, as the last Holy Body, he was alone, solitary and forlorn.

To protect the final flicker of the Holy Body lineage, he willingly endured restraint and humiliation.

But, even the most resilient heart would grow weary after countless eras of erosion.

Not to mention, the Sacred Body Essence Blood of the Martial Guardian was excessively depleted.

Coupled with the erosion from the stone stele and chains, his life was near its end.

However, to see Jun Xiaoyao at the last moment of life, the Martial Guardian felt incredibly fortunate.

If Ning Chen and his sister Ning Xuan were the spark he needed to protect,

then Jun Xiaoyao was the eternal shining sun spreading infinite light!

Only a Holy Body like the Martial Guardian could understand how terrifying it was for a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to break ten shackles.

Not even the past Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, who alone faced three Immortal Kings of the Exotic Realm, broke more than seven shackles.

As one who had broken ten shackles, Jun Xiaoyao's cultivation faced no limitations, and his Holy Body power was not suppressed.

Adding to that, he hailed from the Desolate Ancient Royal Family, giving him an impeccable background.

A person with such unrivaled talent and background.

It's clear he would certainly become an unparalleled Holy Body remembered throughout history.

"It's fantastic that after the Desolate Ancient Era, our Holy Body lineage produced another complete Holy Body."

"With you here, I could die now with no regrets..." the Martial Guardian lamented.

His greatest life regret and guilt lay in his inability to revive the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

But now, he saw hope in Jun Xiaoyao.

"Why say that, elder? With me around, I won't let anything happen to you," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Truth be told, before coming here, Jun Xiaoyao did plan to recruit a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

It was something beneficial to him.

But now, upon seeing the Martial Guardian, Jun Xiaoyao simply wanted to lend a helping hand.

Even if the Martial Guardian chose not to join the Monarch Court, he would still act.

In each era, Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies are that rare.

Though they bear different names and come from different clans,

the shared Holy Body Bloodline cannot be severed.

"By the way, our ancestors of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall left something, said to be for the Celestial Mandate person of the Holy Body lineage. Come with me," the Martial Guardian said, as if he had remembered something.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

Following the Martial Guardian, he entered the inner sanctuary.

Though bound with shackles, the Martial Guardian could still move around.

He carried a stone stele on his back, suppressed upon him by special means.

"This thing is..." Jun Xiaoyao frowned.

"It was set by the Overlord Body of my era, containing special suppressive runes," the Martial Guardian said indifferently.

Though he suffered such humiliation, he was in high spirits now.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed quietly.

In the inner sanctuary, there was a statue covered with cracks.

You could still vaguely see the figure of a dignified and mighty man.

"This is the ancestral Hall Master who fought against the three Immortal Kings," the Martial Guardian murmured.

Jun Xiaoyao also showed a trace of respect.

Though he dared not agree with such selfless love, he held it in high regard.

When Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the inner sanctuary,

the mechanical voice of the system echoed in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for arriving at the check-in site, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall. Would you like to check-in?"

"Check-in," Jun Xiaoyao silently said in his heart.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, for obtaining the Seven-Star Reward, Quasi-Emperor Weapon, Great Wilderness Halberd!"

As the system's words fell, Jun Xiaoyao immediately sensed it.

A seven-foot-long halberd appeared in his spatial spiritual artifact.

The entire halberd was impressively fierce, its blade gleaming bright, as if tearing through from primordial chaos itself!

A primal aura surged, emanating a terrifying, desolate, and destructive presence!

It seemed as though a single strike could cleave through endless primordial chaos!

Quasi-Emperor Weapon, Great Wilderness Halberd!

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, not expecting to sign in for another Divine Weapon.

Though this Great Wilderness Halberd may not transform into an Immortal Artifact like the All Things Mother Qi Tripod in the future,

at the very least, it can transform into an Emperor's Weapon.

Right now, Jun Xiaoyao didn't have a suitable weapon.

Strictly speaking, the All Things Mother Qi Tripod should be a device for proving the Dao, not a weapon for slaughter.

The appearance of the Great Wilderness Halberd happens to fill this gap.

Although with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, dealing with ordinary people indeed does not require a weapon.

But whether to use it is one thing, having it is another.

Like the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow, who went through great efforts to obtain a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, still refining it now.

In contrast, Jun Xiaoyao casually signed and acquired a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, with the potential to transform into an Emperor's Weapon.

It's definitely of higher quality than the Quasi-Emperor Weapon obtained by the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao dazed, Martial Guardian asked.

"Nothing," Jun Xiaoyao returned to his senses.

He counted this as yet another major means.

Next, Martial Guardian came to the statue and pushed it aside.

Rumble!

Below the statue, a sealed mechanism appeared with a groove in the center.

Martial Guardian said, "Drop a drop of blood in it. If you are truly the person of destiny, the Holy Hall Secret Land will open."

Jun Xiaoyao did not hesitate, stepped forward, and dropped a drop of blood in it.

In an instant, golden light burst forth!

The entire ground directly cracked open, revealing a passageway.

"Indeed, it's correct." Martial Guardian took a deep breath.

Although he had already guessed at eight or nine points, truly confirming it made him completely relax.

Because the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall always had an inheritance decree saying that when the person of destiny arrives, it will be the time for the Holy Body Lineage to re-emerge gloriously.

Jun Xiaoyao and Martial Guardian entered it.

Below was an extremely large space, pervaded with a powerful Holy Body fluctuation.

Both Jun Xiaoyao and Martial Guardian sensed that kind of fluctuation.

Finally, they entered an underground space.

Jun Xiaoyao gazed around, his eyes flashing.

A blood pool, located in the center, not large, with a diameter of only six feet.

But contained within it was precisely Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Essence Blood!

A pool of Sacred Body Essence Blood, as red as agate, emanating an incredibly potent and vast bloodline fluctuation.

As the blood energy rose, it condensed into fantastical scenes like Blood Qilin, Blood Dragon, Blood Phoenix, and others.

"This is..." Even Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat astonished.

"This is the Sacred Body Essence Blood left by successive Hall Masters and Holy Bodies," Martial Guardian's voice had a slight tremor.

Did those Hall Masters anticipate the decline of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall?

Thus, they left Sacred Body Essence Blood to preserve the fire for the Holy Body Lineage.

Jun Xiaoyao also saw, beside the blood pool, a plant with leaves like a blood-colored dragon, absorbing the essence of blood and qi, with phenomena of dragon manifestations around.

"It is the True Dragon Immortality Herb," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Even among Immortality Herbs, the True Dragon Immortality Herb is top-tier, with heaven-defying effects.

Additionally, there was a dark golden armor like the body of a god-demon, exuding Emperor Dao Suppression, displayed within.

"It is the Emperor's Weapon of my Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, the Desolate Divine Armor!" Martial Guardian's eyes shone brightly.

The Emperor's Weapon of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall, the Desolate Divine Armor, was lost in a certain era.

At that time, Martial Guardian had wondered why even the Emperor's Weapon of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall could be lost.

Now it seems, the previous Hall Master anticipated the possible defeat of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

Thus, he hid the Emperor's Weapon Desolate Divine Armor in this Holy Hall Secret Land, waiting for the arrival of the person of destiny, to bring it back to light.

Otherwise, the declining Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall would surely not be able to guard this Emperor's Weapon, as other forces would seize it.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao saw some ancient-looking bookshelves, with books displayed on them.

He immediately browsed through some, surprisingly found that they recorded some cultivation methods of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

Even experiences on how to awaken Sacred Body Phenomena!

"These should be cultivation notes left by successive Hall Masters and other Holy Bodies." Martial Guardian, after flipping through some, was also astounded.

He definitely never imagined that so many things were hidden in this Holy Hall Secret Land.

Jun Xiaoyao also sighed, "For the re-emergence of the Holy Body Lineage, successive Hall Masters and Holy Bodies really took great pains."

Successive Sacred Body Essence Blood, True Dragon Immortality Herb, Emperor's Weapon Desolate Divine Armor, Sacred Body cultivation notes.

These things are unquestionably preparations for the rise of the Holy Body Lineage.

And everything is given to the person of destiny, which is Jun Xiaoyao.

"Jun Xiaoyao, these are all yours, you are the only one in the Near Ancient Times to break through ten shackles of the Holy Body."

"You are the hope of our Holy Body Lineage!" Martial Guardian spoke solemnly, cupping his hands toward Jun Xiaoyao.

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, flames also ignited.

He could not imagine to what degree he would grow if he assimilated these opportunities.

This is definitely one of the greatest opportunities Jun Xiaoyao has received since walking the Ancient Road!
