On this side, Jun Xiaoyao and the others strolled through the city at their leisure.
Hai Ruo, the Dragon girl, appeared somewhat dazed and absent-minded.
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, "Hai Ruo, you said before that you would follow me, but I never placed any mark upon you."
"Therefore, if you wish to leave, you are naturally free to do so at any time."
"You don't even need to explain anything to me."
Jun Xiaoyao was very casual about it.
Gathering by Destiny, parting by Destiny.
Apart from those he truly valued, he would not feel anything if others wished to leave.
However, Hai Ruo stubbornly shook her head.
She vaguely understood that if she left Jun Xiaoyao now,
she could truly forget about having even the slightest connection with Jun Xiaoyao ever again.
Moreover, during the time they had spent together,
Hai Ruo could increasingly feel Jun Xiaoyao's transcendence.
Whatever lord from the Ancestral Dragon Clan was, they simply could not compare to him.
Even comparing them would be a blasphemy against Jun Xiaoyao.
"Hai Ruo will not leave Young Master Jun's side; I will follow you always, only hoping that Young Master Jun will not despise me."
Hai Ruo said sincerely.
It was hard to imagine that this originally cold and proud Dragon girl would say such things at this moment.
"Fine. Since you are so determined to follow, then if there is any trouble, I shall help you settle it."
"What of the Ancestral Dragon Clan?"
Jun Xiaoyao did not care much about that so-called lord from the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
Do not forget, he had slaughtered quite a few Dragons.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Hai Ruo's face showed joy.
Beside her, Su Jinli also nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with Hai Ruo's choice.
What other man could be as desirable as Jun Xiaoyao?
In the following days, Jun Xiaoyao and the others temporarily stayed in Duankong City.
Several days later.
The entire Duankong City suddenly trembled.
Then, it seemed to be shrouded in a majestic mist.
Hazy and ethereal.
In the city, various powerful Cultivators gathered in the center of Duankong City.
There were some dilapidated altars here, which were now emitting a faint rosy light, as if they were about to be activated.
At the same time, within that misty haze, a vast world vaguely appeared.
"The Small World inside Duankong City is about to open!"
"The Four-Star Treasure Land is about to manifest!"
A Cultivator shouted with excitement.
This scene indicated that the entrance to the Small World within Duankong City was about to open.
When that time came, everyone would rush to fight for the Four-Star Treasure Land and occupy a position.
Some Cultivators even began to send messages to the factions behind them, asking for big figures to come, as a fierce competition was about to begin.
Jun Xiaoyao and the others also arrived at the center of the city.
Additionally, Cultivators from the Star Dragon Clan and the Demon Dragon Clan also arrived.
However, that Dragon Prince Ling Shang did not come to Hai Ruo's side again, merely glancing at her from afar.
A cold sneer was on his face.
He had already notified the clan elders, who would surely arrive soon.
Then, he would be able to watch a good show.
Besides the Star Dragon Clan and the Demon Dragon Clan,
there were other races here as well.
They even included Cultivators from the Light Wing Clan, Sand Clan, and Rock Clan that had appeared during the conflict in the Biyun Realm.
These races were a notch weaker than the Demon Dragon Clan and the Star Dragon Clan, but they could not be underestimated.
At a certain moment, a heaven-shaking loud noise erupted.
The hazy and chaotic mist suddenly parted, as if it were a surging giant wave.
At the same time, those dilapidated altars began to bloom with rosy light, causing the Void Realm to ripple, revealing a clear scene.
"The entrance has opened! Enter!"
At this moment, all the Cultivators moved in unison, rushing into the entrance and entering the Small World of Duankong City.
It was as if being one step slower would mean failing to occupy a position in the Four-Star Treasure Land, the Immortal Source Ancestral Grotto.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, was unhurried and extremely leisurely.
Su Jinli cast a glance his way.
"Young Master Jun, are you not going to compete for that Four-Star Treasure Land?"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"Compared to competing for the Four-Star Treasure Land, I have a simpler method."
At this moment, not far away, Dragon Prince Ling Shang also sent a voice transmission to Hai Ruo.
"Hai Ruo, are you not coming with us? Relying only on the few of you, you might not be able to occupy a very good position."
To this, Hai Ruo only replied coldly, "That will not require your concern."
Hearing this, Dragon Prince Ling Shang chuckled.
This Hai Ruo was, after all, too proud and self-righteous.
He turned to Young Master Yaolong and said, "Brother Yaolong, let us go. We must not miss the Immortal Source Ancestral Grotto this time."
This Four-Star Treasure Land was very important to Dragon Prince Ling Shang; he could not miss it.
Subsequently, everyone entered the Small World.
Inside the Small World, the area was extremely vast, with mountain ranges stretching endlessly and appearing immensely towering.
Spiritual Qi permeated the air, ancient trees towered into the sky, and old herbs exuded a fragrant and rich scent.
Everyone could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi within this Small World was extremely dense.
Clearly, it all originated from that Four-Star Treasure Land, the Immortal Source Ancestral Grotto.
And the vast majority of people were gathering towards the Immortal Source Ancestral Grotto.
"Do as you please. I am going to take a look at that Wall of Gods and Demons," Jun Xiaoyao said.
After saying this, Jun Xiaoyao dashed off in one direction.
Although the Small World was vast, with Jun Xiaoyao's Void Tribulation Level Primordial Spirit, he scanned it in an instant.
Then, he discovered the location of the trial ground, the Wall of Gods and Demons.
In just a moment, Jun Xiaoyao arrived at the Wall of Gods and Demons.
There was no one here.
Because very few people came here to challenge it; it was simply impossible to succeed.
Jun Xiaoyao took a look.
Before his eyes was an incredibly majestic ancient wall.
There seemed to be many stone gates on it.
Each stone gate was incredibly grand, as if they were portals for ancient gods and demons.
As Jun Xiaoyao walked closer to take a look,
he could see that each stone gate was carved with a different Vicious Beast totem.
There was a True Hou howling at the moon, its roar bringing down primordial stars, with majestic Qi, as if it were truly about to break free from the stone carving.
There was a Golden-Winged Roc covering the sky, its Qi fierce, its wings shattering the stars across the sky.
There was also a Feiyi, its body winding for ten thousand miles, its entire body crimson red, controlling boundless Dao of Fire.
In short, there were one hundred and eight stone gates in this Wall of Gods and Demons.
Each stone gate was engraved with a primordial Vicious Beast totem.
According to Hai Ruo, inside each stone gate was a corresponding Vicious Beast imprint.
Moreover, it adjusted the difficulty level according to the challenger's Realm.
In other words, this Wall of Gods and Demons did not test the strength of one's Rank or Realm.
But rather the degree of one's talent as a Prodigy.
If one's talent was not monstrous enough, even a Great Emperor could not pass through.
"A bit interesting."
For Jun Xiaoyao, who had already passed through the Gate of Immortals and Mortals,
the trial of this Wall of Gods and Demons was merely a piece of cake.
The value of the Gate of Immortals and Mortals was much higher than this Wall of Gods and Demons.
Those who could completely pass through it were all Immortal Seedlings.
Although the difficulty of this Wall of Gods and Demons was not small, in Jun Xiaoyao's view, it was not as great as the Gate of Immortals and Mortals.
Jun Xiaoyao did not hesitate and directly pushed open the first stone gate.
Immediately, a wild and ancient aura surged out, as if returning to the primordial era.
Before Jun Xiaoyao's eyes was a desolate black land.
A True Hou appeared.
Of course, this was not a real primordial great beast, but a Vicious Beast imprint.
But it was also extremely terrifying, exuding the fierce might of the Emperor Realm.
Clearly, it was adjusted according to Jun Xiaoyao's Realm.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was indifferent as he pushed out a palm horizontally...
