Seeing Xiao Chen regain his fighting spirit and confidence, Azure Dragon High Person nodded in satisfaction.
Only a spirit that refused to bend despite a hundred setbacks could be called the child of national destiny.
"By the way, you must cultivate the Azure Heaven Transformation Art properly. At the same time, I have deduced that Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury should emerge within the next few years," Azure Dragon High Person said.
"Yuantian Supreme... could he have been a Supreme expert?" Xiao Chen's eyes widened.
"That's right. Yuantian Supreme was extraordinarily powerful, and his temperament was forceful and tyrannical. Rumor has it that he once seized several Ancient Dragon Bones from the Primordial Imperial Clan, the Ancestral Dragon Nest," Azure Dragon High Person said.
At the mention of Ancient Dragon Bones, a faint fire lit up in Azure Dragon High Person's eyes.
"The Primordial Imperial Clan..." Xiao Chen drew a deep breath.
That Yuantian Supreme truly had been an overbearing maniac, daring even to provoke the Primordial Imperial Clan.
But Xiao Chen immediately grasped the crux of it and said, "Could it be that Ancestor intends to..."
Azure Dragon High Person nodded. "That's right. You need to find a Yuan Heaven Supreme Token, then seek an opportunity to enter the treasury and seize those Ancient Dragon Bones."
"If your Azure Heaven Transformation Art obtains Ancient Dragon Bones, you will surely be able to cultivate it to its peak."
"I, too, can use an Ancient Dragon Bone to reshape my physical body."
Xiao Chen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Rest assured, Ancestor. I will definitely go to Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury and seize the Ancient Dragon Bones!"
"And Jun Xiaoyao, along with that bitch Bai Yuer, just you wait!"
Xiao Chen threw back his head and laughed wildly, finally seeing the first glimmer of dawn for his revenge.
At the same time, within the Jun Family's Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Achoo!
Jun Xiaoyao rubbed his nose.
"Someone's cursing me. Is it Xiao Chen?" Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
Following the usual script, Xiao Chen should have obtained some fortuitous opportunity by now.
He should be thinking about how to take revenge on him in the future.
"Xiao Chen, this time you gave me dragon qi and your fiancée. I wonder what you'll bring me next time." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
He actually hoped that more prodigies like Xiao Chen would come.
There were only ruined leeks, never farmers worked to death.
"Let's set Xiao Chen's matter aside for now. Without a few years, he probably won't amount to much."
"I should prepare for the ten-year-old banquet first. It's time to enter seclusion and make a breakthrough." Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
After all, it would count as his first appearance on stage, displayed before the many forces of the Immortal Domain.
If his performance fell short, it would be far too humiliating.
When news spread that Jun Xiaoyao was about to enter seclusion,
the entire Jun Family was thrown into an uproar.
"My heavens, Lord Divine Child is actually going into seclusion?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems Lord Divine Child has never entered seclusion since he began cultivating, has he?"
"His cultivation speed is already this fast without seclusion. If he enters seclusion, wouldn't that be terrifying?"
"Lord Divine Child should break through to the True Spirit Realm, right?"
Discussions rang out from every corner of the Jun Family.
They were also extremely curious. Jun Xiaoyao had never entered seclusion before.
If he emerged after a year of seclusion, just how powerful would he become?
Amid such curiosity and anticipation, a year slowly passed.
During that year, news that the Jun Family would hold a ten-year-old banquet for Jun Xiaoyao also began spreading throughout the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Many forces paid close attention to this.
After all, the phenomenon of ten thousand saints paying homage ten years ago had been far too terrifying.
Many great figures and ancient old monsters were speculating about what heaven-defying physique the Jun Family's mysterious Divine Child possessed.
"That Divine Child's father is the White-Clothed Divine King, a taboo existence. The Divine Child's physique probably won't be lacking either."
"That's right. The White-Clothed Divine King, Jun Wuhui, was known as one of those in the modern era most likely to prove the Dao and become Emperor, even touch the realm of the immortal path. It's a pity that ten years ago..."
Great figures from many ancient forces communicated through divine sense in the void.
They were also curious. What astonishing performance would the Jun Family Divine Child, born beneath the halo of his father, display in his first appearance before the world?
Hong Province was one of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, located within the sphere of influence of the Primordial Imperial Clan, the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
Throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, the vast majority of provinces were occupied by major forces.
For example, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom occupied all of Fire Province.
Hong Province was merely one of the more than fifty Dao Provinces controlled by the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
That was right. The Ancestral Dragon Nest alone, as a branch of the Primordial Imperial Clan, possessed territories spanning more than fifty Dao Provinces.
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom occupied only one Dao Province.
The gap between a first-rate force and the Primordial Imperial Clan was plain to see.
Yet the Jun Family was even more terrifying, occupying more than a hundred Dao Provinces—twice as many as the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
Imperial Province was merely the location of the Jun Family's headquarters.
At this moment, within a great city of Hong Province,
many humanoid beings of wildly different appearances streamed back and forth.
Some had black horns growing from their heads, some had wings upon their backs, some bore scales on their foreheads, and some had beast-like pupils.
These beings were all members of the Primordial Myriad Clans of the Immortal Domain, countless in variety.
Creatures of the Primordial Imperial Clan were among them as well.
Within the territories of certain ancient human aristocratic families and immortal imperial dynasties, humans were more numerous.
Within the territories of the Primordial Imperial Clan, or those of certain Immortal Domain races and strange beings, the myriad clans were more numerous instead.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the myriad clan beings, humans included, could still more or less coexist in peace.
On the city streets, the gazes of quite a few beings turned toward a woman in a blue dress wearing a hood.
Though most of her face was hidden, it could still be seen that she was human, and she possessed a slender, graceful figure.
Within the Primordial Imperial Clan's sphere of influence, humans were not absent, merely exceedingly rare.
The woman in blue slightly lifted her head, revealing a seductive yet delicate face. She was none other than Lan Qingya, who had been expelled from the Jun Family.
At this moment, her gaze fell upon a resplendent, gold-and-jade tavern at the end of the road.
"It should be there. That High Person will be gathering there. I'll reveal the news that Jun Xiaoyao possesses the Human Sacred Body."
"Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong, I, Lan Qingya, truly have no power to take revenge on you, but someone can!" Bone-deep venom flashed across Lan Qingya's face.
After being expelled from the Jun Family, her circumstances had become exceptionally miserable.
Having long been accustomed to a life of luxury, she now slept in the open and ate in the wind, suffering bitter hardship.
Lan Qingya would not reflect on her own actions. She would only blame all of it on Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Linglong.
On the top floor of that resplendent tavern,
a group of beings was holding a gathering.
Some had a pair of wings on their backs, some were covered in scales, and some were as brawny as bears and tigers.
Yet this group of beings surrounded one person as though stars encircling the moon.
He was a youth dressed in magnificent golden robes. His features carried an arrogant, unruly air, and two dragon horns grew from his head.
His eyes were like two great stars, radiating gleaming, icy light.
Beneath his skin, golden dragon scales faintly flickered in and out of sight.
The aura around his entire body was profoundly intimidating.
This youth was one of the Ancestral Dragon Nest's present-day prodigies, one of its Dragon Sons, Long Haotian.
His elder brother was none other than Long Aotian, the taboo first-generation descendant of the Ancestral Dragon Nest who possessed Emperor Dragon Blood!
