It was a desolate and dilapidated temple.
A middle-aged man with an unkempt beard sat there alone.
His hands and feet were shackled, and the chains went through his shoulder blades.
He was also carrying a heavy ancient tablet on his back, which was engraved with the words of the Overlord Body.
This scene made people feel a little desolate, a little lonely, and a little sour in their hearts.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Jun Xiaoyao would never have believed that the person in front of him was a Sacred Body of the Ancients.
However, the resonance caused by the bloodline made Jun Xiaoyao very sure.
The person was a Sacred Body of the Ancients.
It was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He was wearing old gray clothes, with an unkempt beard, cloudy eyes, and messy black hair.
He looked like a middle-aged man who was drinking at a wine market.
No one would have thought that he was a Sacred Body of the Ancients.
Even if the Sacred Body of the Ancients was in decline, it still gave people the feeling that it was powerful enough to suppress the stars.
The Sacred Body of the Ancients in front of him looked like a frustrated middle-aged man in the mortal world.
"Uncle, we brought you delicious food. We'll roast the chicken later!" Little Xuanxuan came forward with a cleaned Spiritual Feather Chicken in her hand.
The man smiled, and a touch of affection appeared in his eyes.
He stroked Little Xuanxuan's little head with his big, rough hand.
"Uncle, this little brother also has a Sacred Body of the Ancients. He is very powerful and can help us!" Ning Chen also looked excited.
"Sir, the new Sacred Body is finally here." Ning Defa saluted the middle-aged man with a respectful look in his eyes.
Even if the middle-aged man looked so down and out, their words were still full of respect.
The middle-aged man looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked at the middle-aged man.
Jun Xiaoyao could feel that the middle-aged man's level was not low.
He was at least a Saint Lord.
The Saint Lord level was nothing compared to the Supreme level.
However, the Sacred Body of the Ancients was imprisoned by the world and was extremely difficult to cultivate.
In recent times, even a Saint Lord level Sacred Body of the Ancients was rare.
A Saint Lord level Sacred Body of the Ancients was already extremely powerful.
The Fallen Sacred Body that Jun Xiaoyao had previously obtained was only at the Saint Lord level.
As for Jun Xiaoyao himself.
He was an anomaly. He had signed in a Saint Physique that was born with the ability to break the shackles, so he couldn't be counted.
The middle-aged man in front of him had the Sacred Body of the Ancients at the Sacred Lord level.
However, Jun Xiaoyao could sense that the Qi and blood in his body were deteriorating and his life force was drying up. He was extremely weak, as if he was about to reach the end of his life.
The chains and the ancient stele were wearing down the man's Qi and blood.
"I have something to say to this little brother," the middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice.
Ning Defa understood tacitly. He pulled Little Xuan Xuan and Ning Chen's hands and said, "Let's go and roast this chicken."
"Oh, roast chicken!" Little Xuan Xuan giggled.
Ning Chen also wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
The middle-aged man's murky eyes were filled with love as he watched the siblings leave.
Jun Xiaoyao then said, "It seems that you take good care of this pair of brother and sister. You even gave them your remaining Essence Blood of the Saintly Body."
The man was not surprised to hear what Jun Xiaoyao said, instead continuing to speak casually.
He said casually, "I was thinking that even if I were to die one day, I would still leave a spark for the Saintly Body lineage."
"This pair of children were born with amazing bones. They have more Saintly Blood in their bodies than the other descendants of the temple guardians. They are sparks that can start a prairie fire in the future."
The man's tone was calm. He did not have any resentment because of his situation.
"These few drops of Essence Blood of the Saintly Body also belong to you, right?" Jun Xiaoyao took out the Essence Blood of the Sacred Body of the Ancients that he had obtained from the auction.
The man's expression was still calm as he nodded lightly.
"Why didn't you resist?" Jun Xiaoyao asked this question.
In his opinion, this Saintly Body was not the kind of person who would drag out an ignoble existence and was afraid of death.
However, he was willing to endure the humiliation of being bound.
"I am the last temple master of the Sacred Palace of the Ancients and also the last Saintly Body. My talent is limited and I have only broken five shackles. At most, I can cultivate to the Sacred Lord level and will not be able to advance any further."
"I have already let my ancestors down. I don't want to implicate the temple guardians who have sworn to follow the Saintly Body to death."
"I originally wanted to die in battle, but at a certain moment, I saw that pair of siblings. It was as if I saw the sparks of hope."
"I want to live. Even if I have to suffer humiliation, I want to protect that village and continue the sparks …"
The man looked up. His eyes were still bright.
He was in the darkness, but his heart was in the light.
He could die.
However, before he died, he wanted to see that pair of siblings grow up and continue the glory of the Saintly Body.
At this moment, even someone as indifferent as Jun Xiaoyao could not help but be slightly shaken.
He finally understood why Xiao Xuanxuan said that her uncle was a great hero who protected them.
"May I know your name, senior?" Jun Xiaoyao's tone carried a touch of respect.
"My name is Wu Hu," the man named Wu Hu said in a hoarse voice.
He was just like his name.
The word 'protect' represented protection.
It was because of his protection that the Saintly Body lineage still had a trace of sparks.
"Senior Wu Hu, since I am here, I will not allow this tragedy to happen."
"The Desolation Temple and the temple guardians will not decline!" Jun Xiaoyao said in a firm tone.
"May I know your name, little brother?" Wu Hu smiled slightly, breaking away from that desolate mood.
"I am Jun Xiaoyao," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Jun Xiaoyao … surnamed Jun … Could it be …"
As if he had thought of something, a touch of surprise flashed through Wu Hu's turbid eyes.
"Could it be that Jun …" Wu Hu said in surprise.
"Yes, I am from the Desolation Temple," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Wu Hu's body suddenly shook, and an unprecedented golden light burst out from his eyes.
His silent blood seemed to have begun to boil. He looked at Jun Xiaoyao as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Wu Hu naturally knew about the Desolation Temple's Jun Family.
It was a terrifying family that had been passed down for countless eras in the Immortal Realm.
Even the Desolation Temple at its peak did not dare to underestimate the Jun family.
The Desolation Temple did not care about ordinary immortal forces at all.
However, when facing the Jun family, even the Desolation Temple had to treat them with respect and not be casual.
Wu Hu never expected that the current generation of the Sacred Body of the Desolation would come from the Jun family.
With such a powerful background, it was possible that the Desolation Temple and the temple guardians could rise again.
However, before Wu Hu could show any joy.
Jun Xiaoyao released his aura again.
That aura caused Wu Hu's expression to instantly freeze. His pupils abruptly shrank as he sensed something that he could not believe!
"How … how is this possible? I don't feel any suppression in your bloodline aura. Could it be …"
Even with Wu Hu's temperament, he could not help but tremble.
Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, "I am a complete Sacred Body of the Desolation with ten shackles broken."
Boom!
Those words struck Wu Hu's mind like thunder, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Then, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. His clothes were wet with tears.
He was so excited that he could not suppress his emotions.
What he saw in Jun Xiaoyao was the hope for the rise of the Sacred Body lineage.
