Chapter 84: Chapter 84: The Seven Great Wonders of the Immortal Realm, Army Mobilized for War, Allied Forces at the Gates
Regarding the Seven Great Wonders, Jun Xiaoyao still has some understanding.
In the Immortal Realm, perhaps there are few who haven’t heard of them.
The so-called Seven Great Wonders refer to seven mysterious legends circulating in the Immortal Realm.
For example, the legend of the Ghost Ship at the end of the starlit sky, where anyone who sees that ship, regardless of who they are—even a Saint—becomes enchanted and boards the ship, heading to the end of the Other Shore of the Yellow Springs.
Another is the rumor of the Beheaded Swordsman, a headless figure carrying a rusty, blood-dripping sword, wandering in a dazed manner through every corner of the Immortal Realm. Anyone encountering the Beheaded Swordsman, from common cultivators to Supreme Venerables, meets with doom without exception.
These various legends eventually formed the Seven Great Wonders.
It can be said that each wonder represents a secret of the Immortal Realm, deemed as taboo.
Generally speaking, cultivators prefer not to get involved with these because the wonders are too ominous, too strange, and can easily lead to death and demise.
"Grandfather’s meaning is that this bronze fragment is related to one of the Seven Great Wonders?" Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes sparkled.
"Yes, there’s a legend among the Seven Great Wonders about the Bronze Immortal Hall, and this bronze fragment might come from there," Jun Zhantian said solemnly.
"Bronze Immortal Hall?" Jun Xiaoyao showed a slight surprise.
The Bronze Immortal Hall is also one of the Seven Great Wonders.
It’s an extremely eerie and ominous hall.
Though called the Immortal Hall, in the eyes of many, it’s perfectly akin to a grave.
Most of the powerhouses who enter end up perishing.
It is because there’s rumored to be something related to immortality within that hall.
Anything related to immortality is enough to make all cultivators flock to it.
Throughout history, countless young venerables, regional overlords, and saint powerhouses have entered the Bronze Immortal Hall, hoping to uncover the secrets and obtain the fortunes related to immortality.
But the vast majority perished.
Even the rare few who escaped kept silent about the situation within the hall, as if fearing something.
That’s why the Bronze Immortal Hall is listed as one of the Seven Great Wonders.
Jun Zhantian spoke seriously to Jun Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, your talent is unparalleled; even if you don’t take risks, you can still become a saint and ancestor in the future, and achieving the Imperial City is not impossible, so don’t let curiosity lead you to danger."
Jun Xiaoyao is currently the treasure of the Jun Family, the core existence, and mustn’t encounter any accidents.
Should Jun Xiaoyao go looking for the traces of the Bronze Immortal Hall because of a bronze fragment, Jun Zhantian would oppose it.
"Heh, no need to be so nervous, Grandpa. I was just asking casually; didn’t expect this fragment to have such a background," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
And just as his voice fell.
A mechanical voice from the system suddenly resounded in his mind again.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, a new sign-in location has refreshed. Please sign in at the Bronze Immortal Hall!"
Hearing this voice, Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless.
Is the system digging a pit for him?
Is the Bronze Immortal Hall a place just anyone can go?
But to be honest, Jun Xiaoyao’s curiosity was indeed piqued.
He quickly organized his thoughts; currently, there are three sign-in locations.
Panwu Mausoleum, Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial Palace, and Bronze Immortal Hall.
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial Palace is the simplest; he can sign in quickly.
Panwu Mausoleum requires a bit more effort, but it’s not difficult.
As for the Bronze Immortal Hall, currently not even its shadow is visible.
No one knows where the Bronze Immortal Hall will appear next.
So Jun Xiaoyao is not in a hurry now; he has plenty of time to enhance himself.
"Thank you for clarifying, Grandpa. I have other matters; I’ll take my leave," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Xiaoyao, remember, never investigate the Seven Great Wonders alone. At the very least, you must inform Grandpa," Jun Zhantian advised.
"Understood." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, Jun Xiaoyao walked out of the Jun Family Mountain Gate.
In the sky, there are four dense phalanxes.
Those are the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards, each with ten thousand soldiers, totaling forty thousand, all ready and assembled.
The Wind Shadow Guard wears cyan armor, wielding curved sabers.
The Imperial Forest Guard wears golden armor, wielding long halberds.
The Fire Cavalry Guard wears crimson armor, seated on Fiery Flame Divine Steeds, wielding long spears.
The Mountain God Guard wears jet black armor, wielding giant shields and war axes.
The Four Directions Divine Guard were all filled with impressive bearing and war intention!
Jun Xiaoyao looked at them and was quite satisfied.
"Young Master, the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards, totaling forty thousand, are all ready and assembled!" Jun Linglong presented the Divine Son Order.
Jun Xiaoyao received the Divine Son Order and nodded lightly: "Very well, this time we head to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, please rely on you all."
Hearing this, the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards all clasped their fists toward Jun Xiaoyao in unison and knelt down!
"Wind Shadow Guard, willing to brave fire and water for the Jun Family, for the Divine Son!"
"Imperial Forest Guard, willing to brave fire and water for the Jun Family, for the Divine Son!"
"Fire Cavalry Guard, willing to brave fire and water for the Jun Family, for the Divine Son!"
"Mountain God Guard, willing to brave fire and water for the Jun Family, for the Divine Son!"
The Four Directions Divine Guard shouted in unison, with courage and morale soaring!
The shout resonated in the Nine Heavens, shattering the clouds in the sky!
"Very well, with you all, what can’t be achieved?" Jun Xiaoyao also felt his blood start to boil.
Which man doesn’t have aspirations of commanding thousands, vying for the world?
Then Jun Xiaoyao ascended a Golden War Chariot.
The Nine-headed Lion dragged the chariot into the sky.
Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Wanjie, and Jun Linglong each led one of the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards, closely following.
The group proceeded magnificently through the sky!
Along the way, various major forces and cultivators all showed expressions of shock and suspicion, looking up towards Cangming.
"That’s the Jun Family’s Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards. Where are they going?"
"I don’t know. The Jun Family hasn’t mobilized its army in a long time. Are they going to suppress some rebellion?"
"No, the one pulling the chariot, could it be the top-tier Ancient Royal Family, the Nine-headed Lion?"
"Hiss, standing on the Golden War Chariot is the Jun Family’s Divine Son!"
Many cultivators, upon seeing that transcendent immortal silhouette standing with hands folded, gasped in astonishment, feeling chills!
What matter could make the Jun Family’s Divine Son lead an army?
Many cultivators exchanged glances, understanding the meaning in each other’s eyes.
The enemies of the Jun Family’s Divine Son are likely to face grave misfortune...
...
As Jun Xiaoyao, leading the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards, headed to the Fire Realm.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance Army, led by the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, had already penetrated deep into the heart of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
All cities along the way offered no resistance whatsoever, directly destroyed by the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army.
Bai Yu’Er understood well that with the current strength of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, defending the entire country was impossible.
The only option was to concentrate forces and make a final stand outside the Imperial City.
After about ten days, the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army finally reached the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial City.
Outside the Imperial City at that moment.
Banners fluttered, waving against the wind!
Over a hundred thousand Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom soldiers guarded the outside of the Imperial City, forming an iron fortress!
Bai Yu’Er had changed her usual demeanor, donning crimson soft armor that outlined her tight curves.
Her fiery red hair was tied, adding a touch of bravery to her charm.
Surrounding her were several generals of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, each with tense and faintly anxious expressions.
In such an almost suffocating atmosphere.
Suddenly, the ground shook.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the distance, a terrifying crowd appeared, black and oppressive.
Looking far ahead, a black tide swept over the land!
Upon seeing the overwhelming, endless army.
All the generals of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom looked extremely somber.
The ministers of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom felt their hearts sinking to the bottom.
"The Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom is doomed..." An elder minister with eyes full of sorrow spoke.
Bai Yu’Er with her jade hand tightly gripping her sword had her exquisite and alluring face reveal strands of despair.
"Is there really no way?"
Bai Yu’Er gazed into the distance as if wishing for a figure to appear.
But there, there’s nothing...
