Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace with Jun Linglong and Jun Zhantian.
As for the other Jun Family disciples at the Martial Arena, they watched them leave with faces full of envy and awe.
Had Jun Xiaoyao performed poorly, everyone would naturally have had their criticisms.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao's performance had completely conquered everyone.
Hadn't even Jun Linglong willingly become Jun Xiaoyao's maid?
"Do you think Jun Zhangjian will try to win back his face?" a young Jun Family member asked with great interest.
"Probably not. As long as Jun Zhangjian isn't stupid, he shouldn't provoke the Divine Child," the others said, shaking their heads.
Everyone knew that Jun Xiaoyao was highly valued by the Eighteenth Ancestor. His future was boundless, and he was destined to become a pillar of the Jun Family.
If Jun Zhangjian offended Jun Xiaoyao over a Lan Qingya, then he would truly have something wrong with his head.
As for Jun Xiaoyao himself, he did not take Jun Zhangjian's matter to heart at all.
If he came to pick a fight over Lan Qingya, Jun Xiaoyao would be more than happy to fight him.
"So this is the Heavenly Emperor Palace?"
Jun Linglong looked at the grand and majestic palace before her, a trace of excitement appearing on her face.
Though her status was high, she had never been qualified to enter the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
"Relax. No need to be so restrained," Jun Xiaoyao said, waving his hand.
"Thank you, Divine Child." Jun Linglong bowed to Jun Xiaoyao and gave him a sweet smile.
"For anyone else, even getting Jun Linglong to spare them a glance would be difficult, yet I can casually take her in as a maid. Is this the power of authority and status?" Jun Xiaoyao secretly clicked his tongue.
Being reborn into the right family truly was a skill.
"Oh, right, Grandfather. With Linglong taking care of my daily needs from now on, you won't need to come every day," Jun Xiaoyao said, turning his head.
"Heh, you little brat..." Jun Zhantian blew out his beard and glared.
Now that he had a pretty maid, he was tossing his grandfather aside, was he?
Still, unable to persuade Jun Xiaoyao otherwise, Jun Zhantian compromised. However, whenever there was something that needed explaining, he would still come by.
Over the next several days, Jun Xiaoyao immersed himself in comprehending the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force, this body-tempering cultivation method.
The Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force was not merely a method for cultivating immense strength. It also contained the evolution of all kinds of martial techniques.
For instance, it could evolve into the ultimate offensive technique, the Underworld God's Spear.
Because the Primordial Divine Elephant could suppress the boundless hells and draw upon hell's spiritual energy, turning it into a spear that pierced through all things.
It could also evolve into the strongest defensive technique, Underworld God's Guard—unbreakable and indestructible.
It could even condense Demon Wings. With one beat of those wings, one could race through the void at extreme speed.
As Jun Xiaoyao's comprehension deepened, the abilities he unlocked would only grow more numerous.
In the end, he could even evolve a true Primordial Divine Elephant, summon the Gate of Hell, and have endless hordes of demons fight for him!
"This Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force is simply too practical," Jun Xiaoyao praised endlessly.
Although the Jun Family also possessed many supreme body-tempering methods, none were as comprehensive as the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force in terms of versatility.
"I really hope I get another chance to sign in." Jun Xiaoyao was already impatient to sign in again.
Ding!
Just then, the system's voice sounded in Jun Xiaoyao's mind once more.
"Congratulations, Host. A new sign-in location has been refreshed!"
"Please sign in at the Tenth Birthday Banquet!"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned upon hearing this. "The Tenth Birthday Banquet... my tenth birthday banquet?"
Jun Zhantian had mentioned that when he turned ten, the Jun Family would hold a grand Tenth Birthday Banquet for him.
At that time, they would invite numerous forces from the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, ancient aristocratic families, supreme clans, and more to attend the feast.
Even Jun Xiaoyao's status as the Zero Sequence would be announced at the Tenth Birthday Banquet.
This banquet would be Jun Xiaoyao's first appearance before the world.
"Looks like the sign-in locations and times are random. There is no pattern to them," Jun Xiaoyao mused.
Still, it was nothing much. The Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force and the Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method were already enough for Jun Xiaoyao's current cultivation.
"I'm actually looking forward to the Tenth Birthday Banquet a little..." A faint smile curved Jun Xiaoyao's lips.
"Oh, right. Why is there still no movement from Jun Zhangjian? Could he really have chickened out?"
Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself, feeling somewhat disappointed.
At the same time.
Within the Jun Family, atop a Spirit Island floating in the void.
The Jun Family's ten sequences received treatment unlike ordinary prodigies, each possessing an independent residence.
Some had heavenly palaces, some divine islands, while others had blessed grotto-heavens.
This Spirit Island was the residence of the Jun Family's Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian.
On the Spirit Island stood a mountain peak like a longsword thrust into the heavens, radiating Sword Qi as vast and imposing as heavenly might!
At the foot of the mountain, Lan Qingya, dressed in a blue gown, had already waited there for several days.
"Young Master Zhangjian still hasn't emerged from seclusion?" Lan Qingya's expression revealed anxiety, grievance, and unwillingness.
The more she recalled what had happened at the martial arena, the more stifled and enraged Lan Qingya felt.
Yet she did not dare cause trouble for Jun Xiaoyao or Jun Linglong, so she could only rely on Jun Zhangjian.
In the past, whenever someone offended Lan Qingya, as long as she sought out Jun Zhangjian, the other party would invariably end up apologizing and offering compensation.
It was precisely because of this that Lan Qingya had developed such an arrogant and spoiled temperament.
Boom!
At that moment, an enormous disturbance suddenly erupted from the mountaintop.
A terrifying storm of magical power stretched across heaven and earth, seemingly forming a tornado.
"It's Young Master Zhangjian! He has broken through again!"
Some of Jun Zhangjian's followers on the Spirit Island were startled awake. Their gazes all turned toward the mountain peak.
The grievance on Lan Qingya's face was swept away, replaced by immense excitement.
Jun Zhangjian had broken through, and his strength had increased once again. Surely he could help her vent her anger.
Even if he did not teach Jun Xiaoyao a lesson, he should at least teach Jun Linglong one.
From atop the mountain, a black-robed youth carrying a sword on his back stepped down through the void.
Generally speaking, after reaching the Divine Palace Realm from the Spirit Sea Realm, one could walk through the air.
Clearly, this black-robed youth was already an expert of the Divine Palace Realm.
He looked around thirteen or fourteen years old. His dark hair fluttered, his black eyes were deep, and his entire bearing resembled a divine sword that could cleave through the sky, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.
This black-robed youth was none other than the Jun Family's Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian!
It was said that on the day he was born, the longswords of every sword-bearing member of the Jun Family had unsheathed themselves and pointed toward Jun Zhangjian's birthplace.
He had been born with Sword Heart Clarity and also possessed the Immortal Sword Body. He could contain endless Sword Qi within his body and had monstrous talent in sword-path cultivation methods and martial arts.
It was precisely because of these many talents that Jun Zhangjian had risen forcefully and become one of the ten sequences.
Though he ranked last as the Tenth Sequence, he was still not to be underestimated.
One had to know that among the Jun Family's countless young prodigies, obtaining a sequence identity was extraordinarily difficult.
Not everyone was like Jun Xiaoyao, born high above all others with extraordinary status.
"Qingya, have you been waiting for me all this time?"
Jun Zhangjian landed. A crowd of followers around him bowed and clasped their hands, but Jun Zhangjian simply ignored them and looked at Lan Qingya.
"Young Master Zhangjian!"
Lan Qingya squeezed out a few tears, her face filled with grievance as she threw herself into Jun Zhangjian's arms.
This bitch... The other followers cursed inwardly, contempt flashing in their eyes.
As fellow followers of Jun Zhangjian, they too could not stand Lan Qingya's behavior.
She called Jun Linglong a green tea bitch, yet wasn't she the real green tea bitch herself?
"What happened? Who upset you again?" Jun Zhangjian asked with a faint smile.
He truly favored Lan Qingya rather greatly, treating her differently from his other followers.
"It happened like this..." Lan Qingya recounted everything.
Then, wiping away tears as though deeply wronged, she said, "Young Master Zhangjian, Qingya was only thinking of your reputation. Who could have expected Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Linglong to..."
"You said... you offended Jun Xiaoyao?"
Jun Zhangjian's black hair obscured his eyes, making his expression impossible to read.
"Yes, Young Master Zhangjian. You must seek justice for Qingya..." Lan Qingya said pitifully.
Slap!
What greeted her, however, was a resounding slap!
"Are you trying to get me killed!?"
