It can be said that this Immortal Fire was an unexpected delight for Jun Xiaoyao.
The only pity was that he couldn't truly refine and control it.
Otherwise, if Jun Xiaoyao could constantly be tempered by the Immortal Fire, his Physical Body's progress would be even faster.
However, Jun Xiaoyao wasn't too greedy.
It was already good enough to have the Immortal Fire available for use.
Even with just this one wisp of Immortal Fire, Jun Xiaoyao felt that it should bring him surprises and allow him to Cultivate more Sumeru Worlds.
Just then, Jun Xiaoyao sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.
In a moment, a woman in a palace dress, elegant and beautiful, appeared in the Void Realm.
It was naturally Su Yan.
When she saw the dazzling name at the top of the Fengshen Stele, her entire being froze.
"The top?"
Su Yan's mind hadn't even processed it; her mind was blank.
To her, this was too unbelievable, unimaginable.
It was like a dream?
In this remote Hundred Nations Star Region, she actually encountered an unparalleled Prodigy who ascended to the top of the Fengshen Stele?
Wasn't this dreamy enough?
It could be said that even the top Forbidden-Breaking Paragon of the Realm Sea would find it difficult to reach the top, right?
The next moment, Su Yan's gaze fell on Jun Xiaoyao.
What surprised her even more was that this White-robed Young Master actually gave her a sense of danger and oppression.
One must know that she was a Quasi-Emperor.
Even if she was just an initial Quasi-Emperor who had passed one tribulation, she was still a Quasi-Emperor.
Even a Great Perfection Chaos Dao Venerable was completely different from a Quasi-Emperor, a world apart.
She could feel that this White-robed Young Master was very young, extremely young.
That kind of youth wasn't something that could be faked by appearance; his Qi and blood were vigorous and full of vitality.
And such a young man could actually ascend to the top of the Fengshen Stele and even bring some sense of oppression to her, a Quasi-Emperor.
This was a bit outrageous.
But her perception was indeed correct.
A one-tribulation Quasi-Emperor was no longer a threat to the current Jun Xiaoyao.
Su Yan's gaze then became incredibly fervent.
That fervent look made Jun Xiaoyao feel as if he was about to be burned.
"This... um, Young Master, may I ask which power in the Realm Within a Realm you are from?"
Su Yan's tone paused; she didn't know how to address him at first.
Logically, as an Elder of Inheritance Academy, she should adopt the attitude of a Senior towards a junior.
But facing this unparalleled Prodigy, she truly found it difficult to consider herself a Senior, so she addressed him as Young Master.
"That's an Elder of Inheritance Academy, yet she's treating that White-robed Young Master as an equal?"
Hearing Su Yan's address, the Imperial Dynasty Prodigies present were all somewhat doubting life.
"I am not from any power in the Realm Within a Realm."
Jun Xiaoyao said truthfully.
He wasn't lying.
He truly wasn't from any power in the Realm Within a Realm.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's eyes immediately lit up, saying, "Young Master Jun, please join my Inheritance Academy!"
Others who wanted to join Inheritance Academy had to be selected.
Yet now, Elder Su Yan directly requested him personally.
It could be said to have refreshed the worldview of these Imperial Dynasty Prodigies.
And Zhou Mu's expression also became extremely unsightly.
Although with his Aptitude, having his name on the Fengshen Stele, he would certainly be noticed by Inheritance Academy.
But he would definitely not be given such importance by Su Yan, much less a personal request.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations of a joyful acceptance, Jun Xiaoyao actually frowned slightly, then said, "Sorry, I have no intention of joining Inheritance Academy."
Jun Xiaoyao came to the Hundred Nations Great War not for Inheritance Academy.
Besides, although Inheritance Academy was a behemoth in the Northern Sky Domain, and even a top-tier power in the entire Realm Within a Realm, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, it was just so-so.
"This..."
Hearing this, the Imperial Dynasty Prodigies present were speechless.
It truly was a case of some dying of thirst while others drowned.
"Young Master Jun, please consider it."
"No matter what, my Inheritance Academy is a hegemon in the Northern Sky Domain."
"Even looking at the entire Realm Within a Realm, it is top-tier."
"If Young Master Jun joins my Inheritance Academy, he will certainly become a core true disciple."
Su Yan continued to persuade, unwilling to give up.
Prohibition-breaking Prodigies were rare even in the entire Realm Sea.
They were equally rare in a Cultivation Holy Land like the Realm Within a Realm.
Not to mention, she also felt that this White-robed Young Master might not even be fully described by the term Prohibition-breaking.
If such a Prodigy was recruited by Inheritance Academy, how great would her reward be?
Of course, the reward was secondary.
Su Yan's main goal was to discover treasure for Inheritance Academy and recruit truly top-tier talent.
"This..."
Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.
To be honest, even being a core true disciple of Inheritance Academy held no appeal for him.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's expression, Su Yan also sighed slightly.
"If Young Master cannot join, then what meaning does my trip have?"
"If Young Master can join, even if it's just you alone, it's fine; everyone else can be disregarded."
Su Yan's words made the expressions of the Imperial Dynasty Prodigies present somewhat unnatural.
What did this signify?
The combined Prodigies of the entire Hundred Nations Star Region were not worth one Jun Xiaoyao in Su Yan's eyes.
Perhaps, they couldn't even be compared at all.
Although this was somewhat disheartening, everyone thought about it and felt it was very reasonable.
A Prodigy who could ascend to the top of the Fengshen Stele was indeed not someone they could compare to.
And when Zhou Mu heard this, he felt as if he had eaten a fly, his face turning green.
Originally, he thought this Hundred Nations Great War was his best chance to show his talent and his stage to rise.
But all the glory was stolen by Jun Xiaoyao.
Especially, if Jun Xiaoyao hadn't been there, Su Yan, this beautiful Elder, would have invited him.
Perhaps she might even have directly wanted to take him as a disciple.
But now, with Jun Xiaoyao here, Zhou Mu's achievements instantly paled in comparison.
As for why Su Yan didn't express a desire to take Jun Xiaoyao as a disciple, it wasn't that she didn't want to, but she knew that she was not qualified to take such a person as a disciple!
In fact, no Elder in Inheritance Academy was qualified to take such a Prodigy as a disciple.
Perhaps only the Dean and Vice Dean were barely qualified.
But putting that aside, Jun Xiaoyao didn't even have the intention to join, which left Su Yan somewhat helpless.
She couldn't help but sigh slightly, muttering to herself, "If this is the case, then facing the Three Emperors Academy will truly put us at a disadvantage."
Jun Xiaoyao caught the phrase "Three Emperors Academy."
He asked, "May I ask if this Three Emperors Academy is related to the Three Emperors?"
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao speak, Su Yan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly said, "Indeed, Three Emperors Academy is considered a preparatory force for the Three Emperors, a place for cultivating talent."
"And during this 'Tea Party,' people from Three Emperors Academy will likely appear as well," Su Yan said.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened.
One of his purposes in coming to the Realm Within a Realm was to investigate the true background of the Three Emperors.
This Three Emperors Academy was indeed a worthy target and a Breakthrough point to consider.
