The commotion finally subsided.
The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed.
Jun Xiaoyao's dominance had undoubtedly resonated deeply within everyone's hearts once more.
He had casually annihilated even the Ancient Young Emperor's followers, not even batting an eye.
Even the Grand Elder had turned a blind eye.
Everyone understood that the Immortal Academy was like Jun Xiaoyao's private garden; he could still act without any scruples.
"Alright, now that I have the Immortal Calamity Sword Art, I should return to my Immortal Cave to Cultivate."
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Ling Yuan, noticing that she seemed somewhat distracted.
"What's wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"That Ancient Young Emperor should be from the Fuxi Immortal Lineage," Ling Yuan said, feeling a headache coming on.
If he were from another Immortal Lineage, it would be fine.
But he just had to be from the Fuxi Immortal Lineage.
And within the entire Immortal Court,
The Fuxi Immortal Lineage could be said to be the most radical faction.
It was also the faction with the deepest animosity towards the Jun Family.
After all, when Jun Xiaoyao had fallen in the God Ruins World back then,
The Jun Family had gone to their doorstep to slap them in the face.
The Fuxi Immortal Lineage's animosity towards the Jun family was definitely much deeper than that of the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage.
"So that's why. It seems because of me, you've had a conflict with that Ancient Young Emperor."
"In that case, I won't come looking for you anymore, and I won't cause you any more trouble," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"No… it's not like that." Ling Yuan quickly retorted, her jade hand instinctively grasping the corner of Jun Xiaoyao's clothes.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at her.
Ling Yuan's cheeks flushed, and she withdrew her hand as if she had received an electric shock.
How could a dignified Young Emperor of the Immortal Court grab someone's clothes like a little girl?
"No, you misunderstood," Ling Yuan said.
"Don't worry, if you have trouble in the future, you can find me. It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent that interests me."
Jun Xiaoyao seemed very calm about that Ancient Young Emperor.
Ling Yuan was also silent.
If she really asked Jun Xiaoyao for help, she would probably be targeted by people from other Immortal Lineages.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to give you something."
Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then took something out of his spatial Magical Artifact.
It looked like it was woven from snow-white silkworm threads, with a layer of hazy, seven-colored light shimmering over it.
"This is…" Ling Yuan was momentarily stunned.
"These are stockings woven from seven-colored heavenly silkworm threads. Don't let their appearance fool you; they are a top-tier supreme artifact," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He had naturally met the Godly Silkworm Princess at the Jade Pool before.
The Godly Silkworm Princess had raised a seven-colored heavenly silkworm.
So Jun Xiaoyao had asked her for some seven-colored heavenly silkworm threads, and then had the Artifact Refiners in his clan refine this pair of stockings.
The reason he did this was naturally to test Ling Yuan.
After all, Tiannv Yuan had liked to wear white silk stockings before.
Ling Yuan's face subtly turned red.
Giving this kind of item always felt a bit off.
But she still took them.
The snow-white stockings were incredibly soft, reflecting a seven-colored halo under the light, truly beautiful.
"Don't you want to try them on?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Ling Yuan bit her red lip slightly, then put them on in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
Ling Yuan's figure was naturally tall and slender.
After putting them on, her jade legs appeared even more remarkably long and straight, with perfect curves.
One word:
Wonderful!
"You're still looking?"
Ling Yuan glanced to the side.
She appeared aloof, yet also had a strangely tsundere cuteness.
"They suit you very well. Farewell."
Jun Xiaoyao turned and was about to leave.
"You're doing this for her…" Ling Yuan suddenly spoke.
The "her" she referred to was naturally Tiannv Yuan.
Jun Xiaoyao paused, without turning back, then said, "Does it make a difference?"
With that, Jun Xiaoyao departed.
Ling Yuan's jade hand clenched slightly.
Does it make a difference?
Of course, it does!
Tiannv Yuan is Tiannv Yuan, and Ling Yuan is Ling Yuan.
Before, only Tiannv Yuan deeply loved Jun Xiaoyao.
But now, even she…
With a long sigh, Ling Yuan turned and returned to her Immortal Cave.
What she had to worry about next was the matter of that Ancient Young Emperor.
…
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao had also returned to his Immortal Cave.
Those few members of the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders were almost used by Jun Xiaoyao to establish his authority.
Now, presumably, no one foolish enough would dare to disturb him casually.
"With the Immortal Calamity Sword Art in hand, the next step is to try and fuse the essence of the five sword arts to comprehend the Law of Swords."
Jun Xiaoyao also began to get down to business.
Strength is the foundation.
Immortal Slaughtering Swordplay, Yuan Emperor Dao Sword, Grass Character Swordplay, Slaying Heaven Skill, Immortal Calamity Sword Art.
All five Great Divine Arts of the sword were under Jun Xiaoyao's control.
Jun Xiaoyao's talent also needed no further elaboration.
At such a young age, he had already created his own forbidden Dao, Genesis.
And the Fusion of these five Great Divine Arts of the sword was not too difficult for him.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao spent about seven days thoroughly mastering the Immortal Calamity Sword Art, reaching a state of perfection.
Other Prodigies might take several years, but Jun Xiaoyao only took seven days.
"Alright, the next step is to find a way to fuse the five Great Divine Arts of the sword and then thoroughly comprehend the essence of the sword."
Jun Xiaoyao immersed himself in comprehension.
On the other side, the Immortal Academy held another meeting.
"I heard that there have been some new disturbances in the Virtual Heaven Realm," said the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy.
"That's right, but that place is inherently close to the World Sea, and it's a chaotic spatial region where only Primordial Spirits can enter, so disturbances are normal."
"Moreover, it's indeed very easy for passages connecting to other realms to appear there," an Elder replied.
"The longer we wait, the more complications will arise. We should arrange for the Immortal Academy Disciples to undergo trials as soon as possible," said the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy.
All the Elders nodded slightly.
"By the way, what do you think about the previous dispute between the Jun Family Divine Child and the Immortal Court?" the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy asked again.
All the Elders present remained silent.
The Jun Family and the Immortal Court were both colossal forces; it could be said that neither could afford to offend the other.
Seeing this, the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy said calmly, "Our Immortal Academy should maintain a neutral stance and not favor either side."
Among the Elders, the Grand Elder's expression was slightly awkward.
He could be said to be currying favor with Jun Xiaoyao.
But then the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy added, "However, I do think that, looking at the younger generation, the Jun Family might have a more promising future."
The words of the Great Elder of the Immortal Academy caused all the Elders present to tremble slightly.
