Jun Linglong, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart-Who Was Jun Heaven Emperor?

The Jun Family's Martial Arena stood atop a gigantic island floating in the void.

Many of the Jun Family's younger generation cultivated within the Martial Arena.

Not only were there battle platforms, there were also various places for testing cultivation, available for the Jun Family's descendants to use.

The Mount Tai Ancient Stele had been forcibly seized by one of the Jun Family's mighty experts and moved into the Martial Arena for the clan's disciples to test their physical cultivation.

At that moment, beside the Mount Tai Ancient Stele, a young girl dressed in palace robes was regulating her breathing, preparing to challenge it.

The girl was around fourteen or fifteen years old. Her long, slightly curly golden hair cascaded down like waves, each strand crystalline and dazzlingly radiant.

Her skin was creamy as coagulated jade, her cherry lips delicately rouged, and her bearing noble and elegant.

Though she was still young, the delicate body wrapped in her fitted palace robes was already exquisitely curved, beginning to show its full shape.

"I wonder what result Jun Linglong will achieve this time?"

"She possesses the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Her speed in comprehending all kinds of cultivation techniques is astonishingly fast. She must have already mastered all sorts of body-tempering arts."

"I heard several Sequences wanted to recruit Jun Linglong as a follower, but she turned them all down."

Many Jun Family disciples around them watched the girl named Jun Linglong and whispered among themselves.

Though Jun Linglong was not one of the Ten Sequences, she was still a rather famous noble daughter within the Jun Family.

Because she possessed the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.

This kind of heart was also known as the Sage's Heart. It meant that so long as Jun Linglong did not fall midway, she was destined to become a Saint.

Although for an ancient aristocratic family like the Jun Family, a Saint was not particularly rare.

Across the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, however, Saints were absolutely great figures standing at the very pinnacle.

Because Jun Linglong possessed the potential to become a Saint, some Sequences were willing to extend an olive branch and recruit her, but she rejected them all.

"Heaven-Suppressing Golden Palm!"

Jun Linglong raised her jade-white hand and struck toward the Mount Tai Ancient Stele.

Her body was clearly slender and delicate, yet at that moment, it seemed to erupt with boundless strength.

Boom!

After a thunderous blast, light shone from the Mount Tai Ancient Stele.

150,000 jin!

"Jun Linglong is so powerful. She has increased her strength by another 30,000 jin compared with last time."

"Exactly. An ordinary prodigy can only reach 100,000 jin of strength after cultivating their body to the limit. Jun Linglong has already broken through that barrier."

Praise came from all directions, accompanied by the burning gazes of no small number of simps.

Jun Linglong's snowy jade-like face remained calm, without the slightest ripple.

At that moment, a piercing female voice rang out.

"Jun Linglong, after all this time, you've only increased by 30,000 jin of strength?"

A woman in a blue dress swayed over with a slim waist.

Her features were charming and pretty, but her words were sharp.

"It's Lan Qingya, the follower of the Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian."

"Her status is higher than that of an ordinary follower. I heard Jun Zhangjian favors her greatly."

Lan Qingya was not a member of the Jun Family, but a follower recruited from outside by the Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian.

Jun Linglong ignored her, but Lan Qingya continued sharply, "Young Master Zhangjian left a record of five million jin of strength on the Mount Tai Ancient Stele. That's dozens of times yours, yet you rejected his offer. Do you know now just how ignorant you are?"

Lan Qingya greatly disliked Jun Linglong's pretentious aloofness.

Jun Zhangjian had clearly taken the initiative to recruit her, yet Jun Linglong had still refused him.

In Lan Qingya's eyes, Jun Linglong was nothing but a hypocritical little bitch.

"Jun Zhangjian is indeed quite good, but he is not the best. The person I, Jun Linglong, follow will be someone capable of suppressing an entire era," Jun Linglong said calmly.

No one knew that the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart possessed another hidden ability: it could vaguely glimpse a corner of the future.

Of course, this ability was heaven-defying and could not be actively used.

Since Jun Linglong had been born, it had only been triggered once.

In that glimpse of the future, Jun Linglong saw a blurry, transcendent figure in white robes, standing with his back to all living beings.

Countless living creatures and the Primordial Myriad Clans all prostrated behind him, shouting the title of Jun Heaven Emperor.

From that moment on, Jun Linglong had determined that in this life, the Jun Family would surely produce a true dragon to suppress the eternal ages of time and space.

But...

In that glimpse of the future, which of the Jun Family's prodigious Sequences was the Jun Heaven Emperor worshipped by all living beings?

Because of that doubt, Jun Linglong had never followed anyone.

She had been waiting for the person who most resembled Jun Heaven Emperor to appear.

Although Jun Zhangjian was the Tenth Sequence and very powerful, he had not given Jun Linglong that feeling.

Yet upon hearing Jun Linglong's words, Lan Qingya found them utterly ridiculous.

"Hehe, suppress an entire era? Jun Linglong, that excuse of yours is rather laughable."

Not even the current strongest First Sequence of the Jun Family would dare claim that with absolute certainty.

Because this was a great age of contention. The myriad races were rising, and prodigies emerged in endless succession. No prodigy dared boast that they could suppress this era.

Just then, a white crane in the distant sky drew everyone's attention.

Seated cross-legged atop the white crane was a figure like a young god.

It was Jun Xiaoyao.

He had only just broken through to the Fifth Divine Treasury Realm and had not yet gained the ability to fly through the air, so he could only arrive on a white crane.

"Who is that?"

"He looks so young. Is he coming to the Martial Arena at such a tender age?"

A group of Jun Family disciples began discussing him.

Since his birth, Jun Xiaoyao had remained within the Heavenly Emperor Palace and had never moved about the Jun Family.

Therefore, aside from the Eighteenth Ancestor, a group of clan elders, and his birth mother Jiang Rou, no one else had ever seen Jun Xiaoyao.

"Mm? He..."

Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes fell upon that young figure, and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart within her body suddenly trembled.

A quiver rose in her heart.

"No way..." Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes gradually widened as an intuition surged into her heart.

The white crane descended, and with a light tap of his toes, Jun Xiaoyao landed easily.

"What a handsome little boy. I really want to pinch his cheeks..." A Jun Family girl's eyes gleamed.

"So cute, want to ride..." Another voluptuous and domineering Jun Family woman stared straight at Jun Xiaoyao with her beautiful eyes, wearing the grin of an infatuated woman.

Watched by such a pack of wolfish, tiger-like Jun Family women, Jun Xiaoyao felt somewhat creeped out.

His kidneys were indeed quite strong, but he was still only a three-year-old child.

He had no desire to make a little horse pull a big cart.

"This child's vitality and blood are far too powerful. Why does he feel even stronger than us?"

A young man of the Jun Family could not help asking, "Little one, which branch of the Jun Family are you from? Why have I never seen you before?"

Jun Xiaoyao said casually, "Of course you haven't seen me. This is my first time leaving the Heavenly Emperor Palace."

"First time leaving the Heavenly Emperor Palace..."

As the young Jun Family man spoke, his body suddenly trembled.

The Heavenly Emperor Palace was a place only those among the Jun Family with the highest status were qualified to live in.

The young man stared at Jun Xiaoyao in shock. "Y-you... could you be the one from three years ago...?"

"That's right. I am Jun Xiaoyao," Jun Xiaoyao said lazily.

Whoosh!

The moment those words fell, the entire Martial Arena erupted in astonishment.

Jun Xiaoyao was now the Jun Family's most mysterious junior, and also the one with the highest status.

His birth three years ago had alarmed the Eighteenth Ancestor, who had personally bestowed upon him the status of Divine Child.

It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao's current status was not the slightest bit inferior to that of the Ten Sequences!

"Greetings, Lord Divine Child!"

Every Jun Family disciple in the Martial Arena bowed in unison.

A strange light flickered in Jun Linglong's eyes, but she too saluted Jun Xiaoyao.

Lan Qingya's expression also changed. As an outsider and servant of the family, she naturally did not dare offend Jun Xiaoyao, and hurriedly bowed.

Looking at the Jun Family disciples respectfully saluting him, Jun Xiaoyao clicked his tongue inwardly and thought.

This isn't right. According to the usual routine, shouldn't someone come out to question me, only for me to slap their face like crazy? They're acting so obediently—how am I supposed to show off?

Jun Xiaoyao felt as though he had struck cotton, unable to exert any force.

He had wanted to find someone to show off before—no, to spar with.

However, Jun Xiaoyao had still underestimated the status of a Divine Child.

There was probably no one present who dared show him even the slightest disrespect.

"Forget it. Since no one is provoking me, I should hurry up and check in."

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and walked straight toward the Mount Tai Ancient Stele.

At that moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding. You have arrived at the check-in location, the Mount Tai Ancient Stele. Would you like to check in?"

"Check in!" Jun Xiaoyao silently said in his heart.
