Long Aotian, the Ancestral Dragon Nest's taboo Ancient Freak, was quite famous in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
However, he had always been in seclusion and had not emerged, so no one knew how strong Long Aotian truly was.
The matter of Dao Inquiry Mountain had also reached the ears of the Big Shots of the Ancestral Dragon Nest early on.
Rumble!
The entire Ancestral Dragon Nest trembled; it was the Big Shots in a rage.
Princess Longji's humiliating defeat was a huge blow to the Ancestral Dragon Nest's prestige.
"That Jun Family brat is too much!" a Supreme of the Ancestral Dragon Nest said coldly.
"Our Ancestral Dragon Nest has repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of a Jun Family junior, and even the Archaic Divine Mountains in the Lower Realm were flattened by that junior," another Big Shot said with a cold tone.
"Is there no one who can deal with him? How is Long Aotian's condition?"
"He is very good. He has already fused with six Supreme Dragon Cores. He should be able to emerge from seclusion once he fuses with the seventh."
"Very good. It seems he should be able to make it for the opening of the Immortal Ancient World."
"Perhaps in the Immortal Ancient World, we can have Long Aotian scheme to kill that Jun Family brat."
"Indeed. Furthermore, we must keep a trump card, such as cooperating with Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain."
"You mean… the legendary Dragon Phoenix Body that is impossible to be born?"
Within the Ancestral Dragon Nest, numerous Divine Thoughts were communicating.
The Dragon Phoenix Body was a Physique that only existed in legends, a terrifying Physique that combined the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and the True Phoenix Bloodline.
If such a Physique were born, it would be an existence that overshadowed an entire era.
Clearly, to deal with Jun Xiaoyao, the Ancestral Dragon Nest had made up its mind to cultivate a Dragon Phoenix Body.
"Right, should that plan also be prepared for activation?"
"You mean, the Plan to Assassinate the Monarch?"
"Exactly."
"There's no rush for that. We need to be fully prepared," a Supreme of the Ancestral Dragon Nest said with a solemn tone.
The Plan to Assassinate the Monarch, as the name suggests, was a plan to assassinate the Jun family.
If this plan were fully implemented, it would be the beginning of an Immortal Battle, involving countless forces.
Even the Ancestral Dragon Nest would not easily initiate the Plan to Assassinate the Monarch without complete preparation.
"Hmph, the Jun family won't be smug for long!" a Big Shot of the Ancestral Dragon Nest snorted coldly.
…
On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao and his group also returned to the Jun Family.
As soon as he arrived at the Jun Family's mountain gate, Jun Xiaoyao noticed a vast sea of people.
Those were all Jun Family members who had come to welcome Jun Xiaoyao.
Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao's prestige within the Jun Family had now reached its Peak.
In the future, even if Jun Xiaoyao were to directly become the Jun Family Head, it was estimated that no one would object.
"Greetings, Young Master Divine Child!"
Thousands of Jun Family members present bowed in unison to Jun Xiaoyao.
Their respectful and fanatical attitude made Jun Wushuang, Jun Mulan, and other sequences somewhat speechless.
Their status and position were also very high. As the top three sequences, they were respected by the Jun Family wherever they went.
But compared to Jun Xiaoyao, their prestige was nothing at all.
"Sigh, there's no need to even compare anymore," Jun Wushuang said with a bitter smile.
Originally, his goal was to surpass Jun Lingcang, but now, Jun Xiaoyao's performance made it impossible for him to even harbor thoughts of challenging him.
"Sister is truly convinced. This little fellow is simply too much of a Prodigy," Jun Mulan pouted, also feeling a bit helpless.
Jun Xiaoyao's arrival caused the Jun Family to erupt in excitement.
His feats of subduing an Ancient Freak, trampling Princess Longji, and obtaining the Emperor Pan's Divine Weapon made Jun Xiaoyao an object of fanatical worship for the Jun Family's younger generation.
Jun Xiaoyao himself preferred quiet over commotion. After a brief social engagement, he returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Some Jun Family elders decided that the Jun Family would hold a grand feast for three days to celebrate Jun Xiaoyao's victorious return.
It could be said that the entire Jun Family was celebrating.
After returning to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao finally found some peace.
His mother, Jiang Rou, appeared and showed great concern for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Xiaoyao, you were in the Lower Realm for so long, you worried your mother to death," Jiang Rou said.
"Mother, don't you know your son's ability? What is there to worry about?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"That's right, Mother, Luoli has always been protecting Brother Xiaoyao, how could he possibly get into trouble?"
Jiang Luoli, that little girl, also came along. She patted her small chest with her delicate hand, her face full of proud arrogance.
Jiang Rou chuckled, her eyes filled with maternal love.
Jiang Luoli, this pure and lovely girl, was truly good at pleasing her.
"What are you calling me?" Jun Xiaoyao said, speechless.
Was calling her 'Mother' already so natural for her?
"Eh heh heh…" Jiang Luoli scratched her head sheepishly, her face full of adorable innocence.
Jun Xiaoyao was silent.
Was she trying to get away with it by being cute?
Meanwhile, beside them, Jiang Shengyi, who was dressed in snow-white and looked like a snow lotus, watched Jiang Luoli playing and laughing with Jun Xiaoyao, and heard her call her 'Mother'.
She felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
She had clearly decided to let go, but why…
Did she still feel like something was missing?
From the corner of his eye, Jun Xiaoyao noticed Jiang Shengyi's slightly dejected expression. He smiled and said, "Sister Shengyi, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"
"Indeed, it has," Jiang Shengyi nodded lightly, then went to talk to Jiang Rou.
"Hmm?" A strange look appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Why did he feel that Jiang Shengyi's attitude towards him seemed a bit cold?
Before, Jiang Shengyi didn't have this sense of distance with him.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head faintly and said nothing.
He didn't really care; everyone had their own thoughts.
At this moment, Jun Wanjie, who was beside him, bowed solemnly to Jun Xiaoyao.
"Thank you, Young Master, for allowing my sister and me to reunite."
Beside him stood Jun Ying'er, who also bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
If it weren't for Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Wanjie didn't know how much longer it would take for him and Jun Ying'er to reunite.
"No need to be so polite, this is what I promised you," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Jun Wanjie and Jun Ying'er, the siblings, were filled with gratitude towards Jun Xiaoyao and became even more resolute in their belief to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
Subsequently, Jun Zhantian also arrived.
The Family was happy and harmonious, holding a simple Family banquet.
Afterward, Jun Zhantian told Jun Xiaoyao that the Family hoped Jun Xiaoyao could give a martial arts lecture and Dao explanation to the younger generation of the Jun family in a few days.
Of course, this was Jun Zhantian's suggestion, aimed at fully establishing Jun Xiaoyao's prestige within the Jun family.
Now, even the prestige of the first sequence, Jun Lingcang, was inferior to Jun Xiaoyao's.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally agreed readily.
Next, after eating and drinking to their fill, Jun Zhantian sought out Jun Xiaoyao alone.
And he asked him if he had walked out his own Dao.
Jun Xiaoyao had nothing to hide from his grandfather and directly nodded.
"Good… good. If Wu Hui saw this, he would surely be proud of you," Jun Zhantian said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
When he previously opened the Divine Origin Point, he faintly felt a powerful Qi emanating from his Bloodline.
That Qi could make even a Supreme retreat.
"Could it be Father?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.
Jun Zhantian then solemnly said to Jun Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, have you ever heard a saying: Immortal Ancient appears, Emperor Road opens?"
"Immortal Ancient appears, Emperor Road opens?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Exactly. 'Immortal Ancient appears' refers to the Immortal Ancient World. It is an ancient spiritual land with countless Opportunities, and even a great Opportunity to become a Saint exists!"
Just as Jun Zhantian's voice fell.
The System's voice sounded in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host, a new check-in location has been refreshed. Please check in at the Immortal Ancient World!"
Thank you to Big Shot Li Bin from Jiudi Menye for the generous reward, I bow in gratitude.
