Zero Sequence Announced, Jun Wanjie's Dissatisfaction

Jun Xiaoyao came back to his senses and also felt that what he had done in public was somewhat inappropriate. He released Jiang Luoli's waist.

Jiang Luoli's little face flushed as red as though it might drip blood, and she practically wished the ground would swallow her whole.

"Wuwu, my butt was spanked in public..." Jiang Luoli threw herself directly into Jiang Shengyi's arms, burying her head within them like a tiny ostrich.

She was the treasured pearl in the Jiang Clan's palm, an unmarried young lady. Being treated like this naturally made her feel ashamed.

Jiang Shengyi stroked Jiang Luoli's little head and could not help casting Jun Xiaoyao a charmingly reproachful glance.

Her nephew, though he looked ethereal and handsome, like an immortal banished to the mortal world—

Seemed to have a slightly wicked side as well.

Jiang Shengyi's glance made Jun Xiaoyao take notice of this aunt of his in name.

"Hm? That fluctuation... it really is an Innate Dao Embryo?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze darkened as he murmured inwardly.

Jiang Rou had told Jun Xiaoyao about it before.

Jiang Luoli was the treasured pearl of the Jiang Clan. She possessed the rare Origin Spirit Dao Body, enough to rank among the top hundred of the three thousand constitutions.

As for Jiang Shengyi, she was the Jiang Clan's goddess and possessed the even rarer Innate Dao Embryo.

This constitution was, in truth, not much weaker than the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Innate Dao Embryo..."

"Legend has it that long ago, there was a Great Emperor who had touched the realm of immortality and possessed a supreme constitution—the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo..."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shifted, but he did not dwell on it further.

At that moment, Jun Zhantian stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Thank you all, seniors, for attending my grandson's banquet."

"Today, the Jun Family has another matter to announce at this feast."

As he spoke, Jun Zhantian's expression turned solemn, making the announcement seem exceedingly formal.

"What matter could it be?"

Seeing Jun Zhantian's serious expression, everyone revealed looks of surprise.

"I believe you all know that the Jun Family has ten sequences, each one a peerless prodigy. But above the ten sequences, there is one more position..."

Jun Zhantian's words caused everyone in the hall to tense. Then, as though they had recalled something, their expressions abruptly changed.

The two sequences, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang, also seemed to think of something. They sprang to their feet, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Jun Wanjie's expression grew even more somber.

"Our Jun Family's Divine Child, Jun Xiaoyao, shall become the Jun Family's Zero Sequence, his status above the ten sequences!"

The moment those words fell, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock!

Everyone knew exactly what Zero Sequence signified.

Because the Jun Family's previous generation Zero Sequence had been Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui!

The news Jun Zhantian announced was like a massive boulder crashing into the ocean, stirring towering waves.

One could well imagine that once news of this spread today, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain would be shaken!

After all, the Jun Family's Zero Sequence carried extraordinary significance.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, once he matured in the future, he would become the Jun Family's most central figure, a pillar holding up the heavens.

Even the First Sequence was slightly inferior to the Zero Sequence in terms of status.

"Cousin Xiaoyao was actually already designated as the Zero Sequence?" Jun Zhangjian drew a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He had thought before that after Jun Xiaoyao turned ten, he would likely join the competition for the sequences.

Yet now, it turned out that he did not need to participate in any competition at all. He had long since been designated as the Zero Sequence.

Though Jun Zhangjian found this shocking, he was not jealous.

After all, he had personally experienced Jun Xiaoyao's strength. He indeed possessed the qualifications to become the Zero Sequence.

"I never expected the Divine Child to already be the Zero Sequence." Jun Xuehuang's chest rose and fell as she, too, was greatly astonished.

Meanwhile, Jun Wanjie clenched his fists tightly. Vast arcs of lightning seemed to weave through his eyes, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

"Why..." Jun Wanjie thought coldly.

Why did something he had to obtain only after enduring countless hardships come so effortlessly to Jun Xiaoyao?

The identity of Divine Child was one thing, but now even the supreme identity of Zero Sequence had been directly bestowed upon Jun Xiaoyao.

For a prodigy like Jun Wanjie, merely competing for the position of a sequence had required him to undergo countless arduous trials before he finally stood out from the many Jun Family prodigies.

Jun Wanjie was unwilling, dissatisfied, indignant!

Jun Zhantian swept his gaze around. Seeing the shocked yet reverent expressions on everyone's faces, he could not help nodding in satisfaction.

This was precisely the effect he wanted.

After the Tenth Birthday Banquet, Jun Xiaoyao should enter the world.

And before entering the world, the Jun Family had to build momentum for Jun Xiaoyao.

The identity of Zero Sequence was undoubtedly the fastest way to make Jun Xiaoyao's name ring out.

"Is he inheriting his father's legacy?" The gazes many people turned toward Jun Xiaoyao began to change.

Jun Xiaoyao's father, Jun Wuhui, had been the previous generation's Zero Sequence. Now, Jun Xiaoyao had also become the Zero Sequence.

The identity of Divine Child alone had already made Jun Xiaoyao incomparably noble.

And now, with the identity of Zero Sequence added on top of it.

With those two identities combined, there were likely not many people who would dare provoke Jun Xiaoyao.

"Big Brother Xiaoyao is actually also the Zero Sequence?"

Jiang Luoli poked her little face out from Jiang Shengyi's embrace and blinked her eyes.

One of the figures she admired most was Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui.

Now that Jun Xiaoyao was inheriting his father's legacy, his charm seemed all the more boundless, as though he were the next White-Clothed Divine King.

"But Big Brother Xiaoyao actually spanked my butt and even said I was short. So bad..." Jiang Luoli muttered.

Though she was a little upset with Jun Xiaoyao, she could not resist the fact that he truly was handsome.

Whether it was strength, status, background, or appearance, he was almost unrivaled in the current age.

Jiang Luoli was absolutely unable to escape the law of "it smells so good."

Jiang Rou's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence and emotion as she murmured, "Wuhui, do you see it? Our child has now also become the Zero Sequence..."

Just as every faction was immersed in shock—

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Elder, I have a question."

Upon hearing that voice, the expressions of the two sequences, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang, both changed.

Jun Zhantian also turned his gaze over, secretly frowning.

The one who had spoken was none other than the Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie.

Jun Xiaoyao also looked over, his expression blank.

He had to have the identity of Zero Sequence.

If Jun Wanjie did not know his place, Jun Xiaoyao would not yield either.

"What question do you have?" Jun Zhantian asked indifferently.

"May I ask whether Jun Xiaoyao has ever participated in the competition for the sequences?" Jun Wanjie asked in a deep voice.

"He has not," Jun Zhantian replied.

"May I ask whether Jun Xiaoyao has ever made any great contribution to the Lineage?" Jun Wanjie continued.

"He has not." Jun Zhantian's expression sank.

Jun Xiaoyao had not even entered the world yet. How could he possibly have created any achievements for the Jun Family?

"May I ask whether Jun Xiaoyao has ever passed five gates and slain six generals, winning the position of sequence himself?" Jun Wanjie fired off three questions in succession.

"He has not!" Jun Zhantian's voice turned slightly cold.

If someone from another faction had questioned him like this, Jun Zhantian would have long since slapped them out of the hall.

But the one speaking was the Jun Family's Fifth Sequence. If he acted against him, the Jun Family's dignity would suffer.

"Since that is the case, what virtue or ability does Jun Xiaoyao possess to become the Zero Sequence without reason?!"

Jun Wanjie abruptly rose to his feet and demanded sharply!

Violent lightning from heavenly tribulation flashed endlessly in his eyes!

The atmosphere all around turned deathly silent!

Even Jun Zhantian was unable to say anything for a moment.

Amid that dead silence, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, standing with his hands behind his back like a white-robed immortal descending into the mortal world.

"Since you have so many questions, then I shall answer you."

"The identity of Zero Sequence was bestowed by the Eighteenth Ancestor. The reason he did so was because he trusted me..."

"With me here, why should the Jun Family worry that no Great Emperor will emerge!"
