Watching Xiao Chen, who fainted out of sheer anger.
All the Jun Family disciples in the Combat Arena shivered uncontrollably.
Jun Xiaoyao was strong, but his words were also sharp.
In just a few words, he nearly angered Xiao Chen to death on the spot.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed slightly, somewhat speechless.
What he said was indeed the truth.
Generally speaking, people like Xiao Chen, who are born with great destiny, usually experience a small cosmic explosion after being crippled and having their talents taken away.
They encounter various fortuitous adventures and grow up rapidly, sweeping through all opposition.
Thinking about it this way, Jun Xiaoyao indeed did Xiao Chen a favor.
"Someone, throw him out beyond the mountain gate," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.
Soon, guards from the Jun Family came to drag away the unconscious Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian’s figure suddenly manifested from the void.
"Grandfather," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He had long sensed that Jun Zhantian and other clan elders were watching him from the shadows.
"Xiaoyao, do you know, wildfires burn endlessly when the spring wind blows again, cutting grass requires removing roots," Jun Zhantian’s expression grew serious.
He feared that Jun Xiaoyao would develop an overbearing and arrogant nature, underestimating enemies.
Letting an enemy go like this was not a wise decision.
"Heh, don’t worry, grandfather, your grandson has his own plans," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
Doesn’t Jun Xiaoyao know the principle of cutting grass to remove roots?
However, for him, Xiao Chen was like leeks, ready for harvest when needed.
Jun Xiaoyao had only harvested a bit of Dragon Qi so far; he had yet to extract all the value from Xiao Chen’s destiny.
Harvesting wave after wave, isn’t it satisfying?
When there’s no longer any value to harvest, Jun Xiaoyao would naturally swat this fly to death.
"As long as you have a plan, this little character won’t stir up any waves. You have one year to prepare," Jun Zhantian said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded lightly.
What Jun Zhantian referred to was, of course, his tenth birthday banquet.
By then, the Jun Family would widely invite the powers from all over the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, making it a grand feast attracting global attention.
Even Jun Xiaoyao’s maternal family, the Ancient Desolate Family Jiang Family, would send representatives.
Moreover, his mother Jiang Rou had always wanted to matchmake the Jiang family’s prized Ming Pearl with Jun Xiaoyao.
Additionally, the Jun Family would announce his Zero Sequence identity at his tenth birthday banquet.
When that time comes, the Jun Family would surely experience intense upheaval, and all the sequences would definitely respond.
Thus, Jun Zhantian wanted Jun Xiaoyao to be well-prepared.
"Rest assured, grandfather. I won’t let you, mother, and the Eighteenth Ancestor down," Jun Xiaoyao said resolutely.
He hadn’t forgotten the opportunity to sign in at his tenth birthday banquet.
The rewards he might gain could significantly boost his strength.
"I naturally believe in you," Jun Zhantian smiled with satisfaction.
After this incident was resolved, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Celestial Emperor Palace, preparing to fully refine the Dragon Qi.
Bai Yu’Er also stayed temporarily in the Celestial Emperor Palace.
She too had gained a small portion of Dragon Qi, and combined with her inherent Vermilion Bird Divine Flame,
Bai Yu’Er’s talent and strength would surge greatly.
Most importantly, she was now wholeheartedly devoted to following Jun Xiaoyao, marked inside and out by him.
Even if Jun Xiaoyao asked her to die, Bai Yu’Er wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest.
However, compared to the immensely rewarded Jun Xiaoyao,
Xiao Chen appeared rather miserable at this moment.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself outside the Jun Family Mountain Gate.
"Cough, cough..."
Xiao Chen struggled to rise, his body covered in wounds with numerous internal injuries, meridians destroyed, and bones shattered.
One could say he was in an extremely pitiful state.
Outside the Jun Family Mountain Gate, many cultivators had gathered to watch the spectacle.
After all, Xiao Chen had previously entered the Jun Family arrogantly.
Yet now, not long after, he was thrown out in such a sorry state.
"Wasn’t the Prince of Cyan Dragon Ancient Country crippled?"
"Probably, he looks just like a beaten dog."
"Serves him right for being blind and daring to provoke the Jun Family’s Divine Son, and I bet his fiancée also ran away, serves him right!"
The surrounding onlookers sneered and mocked, their expressions full of disdain.
Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly and stepped away.
Once out of sight from the crowd, Xiao Chen tilted his head back and howled, his fists pounding continuously against the ancient wood before him.
"Damn it, Jun Xiaoyao, if there is any chance, I will return today’s pain a hundredfold to you!"
As Xiao Chen howled, unknowingly, his blood soaked into the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger.
"Are all descendants of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country as spineless as you?"
Suddenly, an aged voice resounded.
"Who’s there?" Xiao Chen’s gaze swept in all directions.
But in the next moment, his eyes settled on the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger.
The ring glowed with a sudden flash of cyan light.
Then, a phantom of an old man in cyan dragon robes appeared suddenly before Xiao Chen.
"You, you are..." Xiao Chen’s eyes widened as he looked at the elder before him.
An elder with two dragon horns on his head.
In a daze, Xiao Chen felt as if he had seen this elder somewhere before.
"Hehe, have my descendants forgotten this old man?" the old man in cyan robes with dragon horns chuckled.
"You are... the founding ancestor of our Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, the Cyan Dragon Ascendant!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xiao Chen’s mind, and he gasped for breath.
He finally remembered.
This elder’s appearance was identical to the statue of the founding ancestor standing within the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country’s Imperial Palace!
And this founding ancestor, the Cyan Dragon Ascendant, according to historical records, was a Quasi-Supreme Venerable!
Half a step away from truly entering the Realm of the Ultimate Venerable!
What a powerful realm, just a step from the Realm of the Supreme Venerable.
"Xiao Chen, the Eldest Prince of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, greets the ancestor!" Xiao Chen’s face was full of excitement, his body trembling.
He never expected that the Coiling Dragon Ring, a relic from his mother, would harbor the soul of the founding ancestor.
Surely, Heaven never seals off all paths!
The Cyan Dragon Ascendant gazed at Xiao Chen, speaking, "I awakened years ago and sensed you are the child of the dynasty’s destiny in the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country. I’ve been channeling you mana and resources, yet you still lost to that Jun Family’s Divine Son."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s face displayed a chilling hatred, and he said, "Ancestor, why didn’t you directly intervene to take down that Jun Xiaoyao then?"
"Hmph, ignorant! If I had intervened back then, neither you nor I would have left the Jun Family alive!" the Cyan Dragon Ascendant scolded coldly.
He had been quite satisfied with Xiao Chen’s performance, but now, Xiao Chen’s heart was unsettled.
"Ancestor, you are a Quasi-Supreme Venerable! How could the Jun Family not be deterred by you?" Xiao Chen asked unwillingly.
The Cyan Dragon Ascendant shook his head, "Even with my full power, let alone now, I couldn’t even budge the Jun Family slightly. The Ancient Noble Family isn’t as simple as you think."
"Does this mean I won’t be able to ever avenge my grudge..." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.
He was ruined, and the Cyan Dragon Ascendant couldn’t assist him.
"Don’t lose heart; you are the child of destiny, the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country will need you in the future. I won’t let you end this way," the Cyan Dragon Ascendant said.
"Please, Ancestor, help me. No matter the cost, I am willing to pay!" Xiao Chen said with unwavering determination.
The Cyan Dragon Ascendant, his eyes revealing an appreciative glint, took out a cyan scroll.
"Though your meridians and cultivation have been crippled, there’s a blessing hidden within this disaster. This Quasi-Supreme Technique, Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, was once my cultivation technique. I shall pass it on to you."
"Cyan Heaven Transforms the Dragon, to break then remake!"
Upon hearing this, the once-desperate light in Xiao Chen’s eyes reignited with hope.
His entire being seemed to awaken, brimming with fighting spirit!
"Jun Xiaoyao, your biggest mistake was being too arrogant, letting me live!"
"This grudge, I, Xiao Chen, will repay a hundredfold!"
