Jun Xiaoyao was walking the outside world for the first time.
Yet his name had already spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Almost no one was unaware of him.
However, while many knew Jun Xiaoyao's name, very few had truly seen him.
With such curiosity surrounding him, Jun Xiaoyao seemed all the more mysterious, leaving everyone in anticipation.
"I never expected the Jun Family elders to come in person this time. It truly brings glory to our humble Heavenly Dao Sect," the old Daoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect said with a smile, clasping his hands.
"Haha, Elder Daoist, you are too courteous." Jun Zhantian stepped forth, treading through the void as he laughed heartily.
"By the way, that Divine Child..." The old Daoist swept his gaze around.
To be honest, there were very few among the younger generation who could leave a deep impression on him.
Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the one who had impressed him most deeply.
"Hehe, I never thought I would remain in Senior's memory. I am truly flattered."
From the chariot drawn by the Nine-Headed White Jade Dragon Horse, Jun Linglong lifted the beaded curtain with her delicate hand, and Jun Xiaoyao stepped out calmly.
Dressed in snow-white robes, he stood tall and slender, like fresh wind passing through jade-green bamboo, with an extraordinary bearing.
His skin gleamed like crystal jade, every strand of hair radiating light. A hazy mist of immortal radiance shrouded his entire body.
His peerlessly handsome face was likewise veiled in a mist of seemingly present yet seemingly absent immortal light.
This was not Jun Xiaoyao deliberately concealing himself. Rather, his innate constitution, coupled with the Supreme Bone, caused Dao charm to envelop his body, with immortal light naturally accompanying him.
"My heavens, is that the Jun Family Divine Child?"
"What kind of godlike face is that? I'm in love, I'm in love!"
"Ah, I'm dead!"
The instant Jun Xiaoyao appeared, the entirety of South Heaven City erupted into commotion!
Forget female human cultivators—even every female living being present had their gazes cling tightly to Jun Xiaoyao like magnets drawn to iron.
Even some male cultivators were slightly dumbstruck.
"Heavens, why did you let me see the Jun Family Divine Child's face? After this, what other man could possibly catch my eye for the rest of my life?"
A favored daughter of heaven from a first-rate Dao lineage looked up in a daze, her beautiful eyes unfocused, deeply troubled.
Meanwhile, a holy maiden from another sacred land gathered up her long hair and murmured to herself.
"In this life, I shall keep my long hair for you. If I cannot marry you, I shall never cut it; beneath the blue lamp and before the ancient Buddha, I shall comb my own hair within my chamber..."
Such scenes played out in every corner of South Heaven City.
It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao's appearance had nearly sent these female cultivators into a...
Climax.
Even the men could not summon the slightest jealousy, because the gap was simply too vast.
In terms of identity, status, appearance, and strength, Jun Xiaoyao—
Every single aspect left them eating dust behind him.
Jun Xiaoyao casually swept his gaze over the people below.
Those female cultivators reminded him of the brainless celebrity-chasing fans from his previous life.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's features were already shrouded in immortal brilliance, even a blurred, fleeting glimpse of him was breathtakingly handsome, enough to leave those female cultivators dizzy and dazed.
"Hehe, Divine Child, you are too courteous. This old Daoist has already prepared lodgings. Everyone, please..."
The old Daoist said with a slight clasp of his hands.
Afterward, led by the old Daoist, Jun Xiaoyao and the others departed.
The whole of South Heaven City burst into an endless uproar.
One could imagine that the Jun Family Divine Child's appearance had created a far greater impact than the arrival of any prodigy from any faction.
Meanwhile, within a residence in South Heaven City.
A young man clad in silver battle armor sat cross-legged.
His features were square and resolute, while crisscrossing scars covered his cheeks, lending him an even colder, more piercing aura.
Lightning coiled around his body, and countless lightning runes manifested in the void, emitting formidable waves of destruction.
This man was naturally the Jun Family's Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie.
Before him, a follower shrouded in black mist was reporting the situation.
"They have arrived already?" Tribulation lightning interwove within Jun Wanjie's eyes.
At the same time, his expression carried a chilling coldness.
He had arrived in South Heaven City early, yet only some disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect had received him.
But now that Jun Xiaoyao and the others had arrived, the entire Heavenly Dao Sect had mobilized. Disciples and elders alike had all appeared.
Even the old Daoist, whose status surpassed that of the sect master, had come forth to welcome them.
This difference in treatment was far too obvious.
Though part of it was naturally meant to receive elders such as Jun Zhantian.
Jun Wanjie knew that the main reason was actually Jun Xiaoyao.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Sect's group, his importance, Jun Wanjie's importance, was far inferior to Jun Xiaoyao's.
The follower shrouded in black mist also said indignantly, "Those people from the Heavenly Dao Sect must be blind. How can some fledgling brat possibly compare to Lord Wanjie?"
This follower was a prodigy Jun Wanjie had subdued from outside. His name was Black Earth, and he came from the Black Cloud Clan.
It was said that the ancestor of this clan had been a black cloud that attained the Dao, ultimately reaching the unrivaled Supreme Realm.
"No one is born standing high above all others, not even that Jun Xiaoyao!"
"I will prove to the Jun Family that he is unworthy of the Zero Sequence position!" Jun Wanjie said coldly.
He had endured untold hardships, suffered countless injuries, and swallowed endless bitterness just to earn the position of Fifth Sequence.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao had obtained the Zero Sequence position with a mere wave of his hand.
Anyone would have exploded with resentment in such circumstances.
Jun Wanjie considered himself extremely restrained already.
Sigh, my lord has been treated far too unfairly...
Black Earth thought to himself, feeling indignant on Jun Wanjie's behalf.
Several days passed in succession, and Jun Xiaoyao had settled down in South Heaven City.
Although the Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury had displayed strange phenomena, several days still remained before it truly emerged.
Over these days, Jun Zhantian also departed and began contacting the representatives of other immortal Dao lineages.
They wished to join forces and turn the entire Yuantian Supreme's Secret Treasury into a training ground for the younger generation.
No experts of the older generation would be permitted to enter.
With nothing to do, Jun Xiaoyao rested leisurely within his residence.
Jun Linglong smiled faintly and said, "Young Master, I heard that Southern Origin Dao Province has a local specialty called Pure Heart Spirit Tea. Linglong will go buy some for you right away."
Jun Linglong was intelligent, meticulous, and considerate.
She knew Jun Xiaoyao enjoyed tea, so she had specifically sought out information on this local specialty.
"Mhm, Linglong is still the most attentive. Whoever marries you in the future will certainly be blessed," Jun Xiaoyao said with a casual smile.
Jun Linglong's lovely face reddened slightly as she cast Jun Xiaoyao a charmingly reproachful glance.
She had long resolved to follow Jun Xiaoyao for the rest of her life and serve as his maid.
How could she possibly marry someone else?
As for having Jun Xiaoyao marry her?
Jun Linglong knew her own place. Being able to remain at Jun Xiaoyao's side as a maid was already quite good.
Nor would she take the initiative to make such an excessive and unreasonable request.
Of course, if Jun Xiaoyao were willing, Jun Linglong would naturally accept with delight.
As for their age difference of more than ten years, it was practically negligible to cultivators.
Not long after, Jun Linglong left the residence and arrived at a market in South Heaven City.
Very quickly, she discovered Pure Heart Spirit Tea that was at least ten thousand years old.
Just as Jun Linglong was about to purchase it.
A young figure shrouded in black mist appeared, speaking coldly with a teasing undertone.
"Sorry, I'll be taking this Pure Heart Spirit Tea!"
