Jun Family Combat Arena, situated atop a colossal island floating in the void.
Many Jun Family juniors train within the Combat Arena.
Among them are not only arenas but also various places to test cultivation levels, available for Jun Family descendants to assess themselves.
The Taiyue Ancient Stele was forcibly occupied and moved into the Combat Arena by the Great Power of the Jun Family, allowing clan disciples to test their flesh body cultivation.
At this moment, beside the Taiyue Ancient Stele, a young girl dressed in palace attire is regulating her breath, preparing to challenge the Taiyue Ancient Stele.
The girl appears to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, with long, slightly wavy golden hair cascading like waves, her locks shimmering and radiant.
Her skin is like cream, lips like cherry blossoms, her demeanor noble and elegant.
Though not very old, the young girl’s slender figure, wrapped in tight palace attire, is exquisite and shapely, just beginning to show its form.
"I wonder what achievement Jun Linglong will create this time?"
"She possesses the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, her speed at comprehending various cultivation techniques is incredibly fast, surely she’s mastered various Body Refining Techniques by now."
"I’ve heard several sequences wanted to recruit Jun Linglong as a follower, but she refused all of them."
Many Jun Family juniors murmured as they watched the girl named Jun Linglong.
Jun Linglong, although not part of the Top Ten Series, is quite a famous noble lady within the Jun Family.
Because she possesses the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.
This heart is also known as the Saint’s Heart, meaning if Jun Linglong doesn’t falter in the future, she’s destined to become a Saint.
Though for the Jun Family, an Ancient Desolate Family, a Saint isn’t particularly uncommon.
But in the grand scheme of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, Saints are absolutely prominent figures at the pinnacle.
Because Jun Linglong has the potential to become a Saint, some sequences are willing to extend an olive branch to recruit her, but she refused all of them.
"Heaven-Suppressing Golden Palm!"
Jun Linglong raised her fair as jade hand and smashed it towards the Taiyue Ancient Stele.
Clearly, the petite and exquisite figure exploded with infinite power at this moment.
Bang!
After a loud bang, the Taiyue Ancient Stele lit up with a radiant glow.
150,000 jin!
"Jun Linglong is so strong, she’s increased by 30,000 jin in power since last time."
"Indeed, an ordinary Celestial Pride refining their flesh body to the utmost is just about 100,000 jin in power, Jun Linglong has already broken through that barrier."
Praises came from all directions, mixed with the fervent gazes of a group of lapdogs.
Jun Linglong’s fair jade-like face remained calm, unruffled.
At this moment, a piercing female voice sounded.
"Jun Linglong, why have you only increased by 30,000 jin in power after such a long time?"
A woman in a blue dress strutted over, swaying her slim waist.
Her face was charming and playful, though her words were sharp.
"It’s Lan Qingya, the Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian’s follower."
"She has a higher status than just a follower, it’s rumored that Jun Zhangjian quite favors her."
Lan Qingya is not a Jun Family member, but rather a follower recruited by the Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian, from the outside.
Jun Linglong paid no heed, but Lan Qingya continued, sharply: "Jun Zhangjian left a record of 500,000 jin in power on the Taiyue Ancient Stele, which is dozens of times yours, yet you refused his recruitment. Now you realize how ignorant you were?"
Lan Qingya very much resented Jun Linglong’s fake aloofness.
Obviously, Jun Zhangjian had graciously extended an invitation, yet Jun Linglong still rejected him.
To Lan Qingya, Jun Linglong was just a pretentious green tea b*tch.
"Jun Zhangjian is indeed quite remarkable, but still not the best. The one I, Jun Linglong, choose to follow, will be someone capable of suppressing an era." Jun Linglong replied indifferently.
No one knows that the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart holds a hidden ability, the faint chance to glimpse a corner of the future.
Of course, this ability is extraordinarily powerful, yet cannot be deliberately activated.
Jun Linglong has triggered it only once in her life.
In that future vision, Jun Linglong saw a blurred transcendent figure, clad in white, standing aloof and facing the masses.
Billions of beings, the Ancient Ten Thousand Races, all prostrate behind him, chanting the name of Emperor Jun Tian.
It was then Jun Linglong affirmed that this era would witness the emergence of a True Dragon within the Jun Family, suppressing eternity and time.
But...
Which Celestial Pride sequence within the Jun Family does the future Emperor Jun Tian refer to?
Because of this doubt, Jun Linglong never followed anyone.
She patiently waited for the person most like Emperor Jun Tian to emerge.
Though Jun Zhangjian is the Tenth Sequence, quite formidable, he hasn’t yet evoked that feeling for Jun Linglong.
However, upon hearing Jun Linglong’s words, Lan Qingya felt it was utterly ridiculous.
"Haha, suppressing an era, Jun Linglong, such an excuse is somewhat laughable."
Even the current strongest first sequence of the Jun Family wouldn’t confidently declare such a thing.
For this is an era of great strife, where the Ten Thousand Races rise, Celestial Prides emerge; not a single Celestial Pride dares to boast of suppressing this era.
And just then, in the distant sky, a white crane captured everyone’s attention.
Upon the crane, sat a figure like a divine spirit in its infancy.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.
He had only recently broken through the Five Divine Storage Realms and had yet to acquire the ability to travel through the air, hence arrived riding a white crane.
"Who is that figure?"
"Looks so young, coming to the Combat Arena at such an age?"
A group of Jun Family juniors began to discuss.
Jun Xiaoyao, since birth, had always remained in the Celestial Emperor Palace, never having ventured through the Jun Family.
Thus, apart from the Eighteenth Ancestor, a group of clan elders, and his birth mother Jiang Rou, none had ever seen Jun Xiaoyao.
"Hmm? He..."
Jun Linglong’s beautiful eyes fell upon the young figure, and suddenly, her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart trembled.
A stirring arose in her heart.
"No way..." Jun Linglong’s beautiful eyes gradually widened, an intuition surged within her.
The white crane descended, Jun Xiaoyao landed gracefully with a tap of his toes.
"What a handsome little boy, I just want to pinch his cheeks..." a Jun Family young girl said with sparkling eyes.
"So adorable, I want to ride him..." another full-bodied and assertive Jun Family woman fixed her enchanting gaze on Jun Xiaoyao, wearing a love-struck smile.
Being stared at by such a pack of wolfish Jun Family women, Jun Xiaoyao felt a bit unnerved.
Though his vitality was strong, he was still just a three-year-old child.
He had no intention of engaging in something beyond his capacity.
"This child’s energy and blood are incredibly strong, seems more powerful than any of us?"
A young Jun Family member couldn’t help but ask, "Kid, which branch of the Jun Family are you from, why have we never seen you before?"
Jun Xiaoyao replied casually, "Of course you’ve never seen me, this is my first time leaving the Celestial Emperor Palace."
"First time leaving the Celestial Emperor Palace..."
The young Jun Family member spoke and suddenly trembled.
The Celestial Emperor Palace, a place reserved for the highest-ranked talents of the Jun Family.
The young man’s eyes shook as he looked at Jun Xiaoyao and asked, "You... are you perhaps the one from three years ago..."
"That’s right, I am Jun Xiaoyao." Jun Xiaoyao said lazily.
Wow!
Upon his words falling, the entire Combat Arena was abuzz.
Jun Xiaoyao was now considered the most enigmatic and highest-status junior of the Jun Family.
Born three years ago, he alarmed the Eighteenth Ancestor, who personally awarded him the status of Divine Son.
In essence, Jun Xiaoyao’s current status is entirely comparable to the Top Ten Series!
"Greetings, Lord Divine Son!"
Within the Combat Arena, all Jun Family juniors bowed in unison.
Jun Linglong, eyes alight with curiosity, also paid her respects to Jun Xiaoyao.
Lan Qingya’s expression shifted, knowing she could not afford to offend Jun Xiaoyao, quickly bowed in respect.
Watching the multitude respectfully bow to him, Jun Xiaoyao inwardly clicked his tongue, thinking.
"That’s not right, according to the routine, shouldn’t someone doubt me and then I get to slap them down intensely, how am I supposed to show off when they’re behaving so obediently?"
Jun Xiaoyao felt as though trying to exert force on cotton, unable to find the opportunity to dish out bragging rights.
He wanted to show off, no, spar with someone.
But Jun Xiaoyao underestimated the status of a Divine Son.
No one present dared to show him the slightest disrespect.
"Forget it, since no one’s provoking me, I better sign in quickly."
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, and directly approached the Taiyue Ancient Stele.
At this time, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding, you have reached the sign-in location Taiyue Ancient Stele, would you like to sign in?"
"Sign in!" Jun Xiaoyao silently voiced in his heart.
