In the end, Jun Xiaoyao stole the opportunity that Ji Xuan desperately wanted.
If there was nothing good in the box, Ji Xuan's efforts would have been in vain.
Jun Xiaoyao opened the box.
The first thing that caught his eye was a plain, dark golden scroll that looked like it was made of gold foil.
"What is this?" Jun Xiaoyao was slightly confused.
He opened the dark golden book.
Countless ancient characters instantly appeared before Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Every single word emanated boundless divine light, as if the stars in the sky were revolving.
An ordinary person would've been blinded by a single glance.
However, Jun Xiaoyao was different. As someone who possessed the Sacred Body of the Ancients, the golden light in his eyes swept across.
Jun Xiaoyao was shocked by what he saw.
One could easily imagine how good the opportunity was, to surprise someone as calm and collected as Jun Xiaoyao.
"Could this be… the Nine Heavenly Scriptures?"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned and in disbelief.
There was probably no cultivator in the Mystic Realm who didn't know about the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures.
The Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures were not written by humans, nor were they legacies of any lineage.
Nine Sky Books had existed since the beginning of the Nine Heavens Mystical Realm.
Some said that the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures were written by the "Immortal".
Some also said that the Nine Great Sky Books were manifestations of the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
In short, there were all kinds of rumors.
However, one thing was certain: the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures were not something that anyone could create.
Not even a Great Emperor could create something like that.
The most precious thing about the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures was that each book represented a pinnacle.
For instance, the Sky Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures, was the pinnacle of the Dao of Space.
The book of time was the pinnacle of the way of time.
The other books represented different Ultimate Paths.
There were also rumors that if someone could collect all nine Heavenly Scriptures, they could merge them into one and walk the path to immortality.
It was precisely because of the rumors about the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures that countless people were frantically searching for their whereabouts.
Throughout the eons, however, it was considered a luxury to even have one or two of the Nine Great Heavenly Sutras.
Jun Xiaoyao never expected that a scroll of the Heavenly Book would be hidden within the wooden box.
"Judging from its content, it should be the Physical Book of one of the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures, the ultimate physical form," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself, unable to hide the shock in his voice.
No one would be able to remain calm after seeing the Heavenly Book.
Coincidentally, the book was one of the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures, which happened to be compatible with Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Body of the Ancients.
'First, it's the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force. Then, it's the Physique Scripture. Are they trying to let me become a Physique Emperor?' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
However, what made Jun Xiaoyao frown slightly was that the book seemed incomplete.
There seemed to be only the first volume.
"By the way, the remnant soul of Supreme Yuantian told me that the thing is in the wooden box. The rest might be in the lower realm."
"Does this mean that the lower volume of the Body Book is in the Ten Lands?" Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
That was highly possible.
"Looks like I have to make a trip to the lower realm in the future. The physical book is too important to me," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He had the Sacred Body of the Ancients, the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force, and the Body Scripture, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures.
Once he mastered all of them, how powerful would his physical body become?
Even the Supreme Emperors of the far ancient era who had proven their bodies were far inferior to him.
Aside from the physical book, there was also a broken piece of bronze inside the wooden box.
Compared to the book of the same body, this piece of bronze was nothing special.
It didn't look like some kind of Divine Gold. Instead, it looked very simple and unadorned.
When Jun Xiaoyao held it in his hand, he was surprised to find that he couldn't crush the piece of bronze.
Jun Xiaoyao's current physical strength was extremely powerful. He might not be able to crush the Divine Gold, but he could at least break it with ordinary Noble Weapons.
On the other hand, the seemingly ordinary piece of bronze was extremely solid.
"This is a little strange. I should show it to grandpa and the others later." Jun Xiaoyao put the bronze piece away.
He then took out the Hand Bone of the King of Saints and five sets of dragon skeletons.
Jun Xiaoyao had already stripped the bone of the King of Saints.
The entire bone of his hand was as white as jade and branded with complicated patterns.
Even if it was placed there, it would still exude the aura of the Saint Stage.
The bone of the King of Saints was one of the main reasons why Ji Xuan was able to stand out among the geniuses.
A single bone of the hand could produce a powerful genius.
However, Jun Xiaoyao had no intention of merging the bone into his arm.
The thought of someone else's bones merging into his own body made him panic.
Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Body of the Ancients was already one of the strongest body types. Once he fully matured, he would be many times stronger than the King of the Saints.
There was absolutely no need for him to go all out.
"Although it won't merge with my arm, I can use it to forge an artifact," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
He planned to forge the Hand Bone of the King of Saints into a weapon.
As for the five dragon skeletons…
Jun Xiaoyao planned to bestow four sets of ancient dragon skeletons to Jun Zhangjian and the others.
After all, they had contributed greatly to the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian.
He still had to give them what they deserved.
As for the Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon, Jun Xiaoyao naturally refined it himself.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao took out the Furnace of Hell and absorbed the Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon.
All of a sudden, surging spirit qi surged.
The power contained within the Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon was so great that Xiao Chen could easily transform him if he obtained it.
Now, however, Jun Xiaoyao benefited from it all.
Explosions were heard from within his body as the granules of the giant elephant were awakening one after another.
Eight thousand…
Ninety thousand…
Eventually, all 100 thousand granules of the giant elephant in Jun Xiaoyao's body were completely awakened!
A golden divine light burst out of Jun Xiaoyao's body!
Behind him, an incomparably solid golden divine elephant appeared. With a sweep of its trunk, it faced the sky and roared. It seemed to have the power to suppress the eight desolates and crush the stars!
At that moment, the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force entered the first stage of the Initial Success Stage.
Jun Xiaoyao unleashed a force of one billion catties of divine power with every move he made. It was as if he could shatter the stars and shatter the ancient mountains with a single punch!
"The Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon truly lives up to its reputation. This energy is simply too immense," Jun Xiaoyao exclaimed.
After the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force transformed, the next step would be to transform the granules of the giant elephant into granules of the dragon elephant.
The granules of the dragon-elephant were ten times stronger than the granules of the giant elephant.
In other words, if Jun Xiaoyao were to convert all the granules of the giant elephant into granules of the dragon-elephant, his physical strength would increase by ten times.
That was 10 billion catties of divine power!
It was terrifying just thinking about it.
Aside from that, the Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon brought about many other benefits.
That was because the marrow of the Ancestral Dragon was hidden within the dragon skeletons.
That energy merged with the Dragon Qi in Jun Xiaoyao's body, causing his Dragonscale Inner Armor to transform once again.
Jun Xiaoyao activated it slightly, and a long, greenish-golden dragon armor that fit his body condensed.
This dragon armor was more than ten times stronger than the inner armor of the Dragonscale.
Jun Xiaoyao, who was clad in dragon armor, looked less like a deity and more like a cold and arrogant god of war.
At that moment, he looked more like the Heavenly Child of the Lair of Zulong than Long Haotian and the others.
"This Dragon Armor shall be known as the Blue Sky Zulong Armor," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
The Blue Sky Zulong Armor was supposed to be something that Xiao Chen could conjure.
However, both the Dragon Qi and the Supreme Skeleton of the Patriarchal Dragon had been snatched away by Jun Xiaoyao. As such, Jun Xiaoyao was granted his wish.
