Chapter 8 - Chapter 7- A Talk (Mostly Info Dump)

"Huh? Did I hear wrong? Did Elder Kun just say that His Royal Highness is at Late Golden Core?" One of the Jun Clan spectator asked as his voice was trembling.

"You-you didn't hear wrong, I heard it too, could it be Elder Kun got it wrong?! I mean no matter how much talent anyone has, there is no way that a 1 year old could become a Golden Core, and a Late one at that, right? RIGHT?!!" Another spectator shouted in disbelief.

"All of you stop acting like that, he is indeed at Late Golden Core, there's nothing wrong with it, just goes on to show he's probably more talented than his father or anyone in the clan." One of the spectators stated coolly but someone standing next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Aren't you all getting shocked over something totally unimportant?? I mean no matter how fast he cultivates, it all can be attributed to his talent and resources but did all of your brains get replaced by a donkey's to be so blind as to not notice that he wrecked Jun Lei who is at Peak Manifestation Realm. Even thought there's no shortage of geniuses in the clan who can punch above their weight with Jun Lei himself being strong enough to defeat any normal cultivator below Emperor Realm but he still couldn't move a finger under that fire and suppression attack of His Royal Highness."

While everyone in the stadium was talking about Jun Yuxuan, he himself landed back in his grandfather's courtyard as he opened the door without any hesitation before barging in.

--5 minutes before Jun Yuxuan walked in--

Inside Jun Chen's room sat 2 people face to face, on the left was Jun Chen while on the right was a grey robed elder with a hood on his head and a long white beard growing from his chin.

"Great cultivators in the Heavenless Epoch like our 7th and 8th Ancestors were born with a cultivation of 10th Rank Body Tempering. It wasn't just a simple increase in cultivation, it went on to show that they were born with a constitution that didn't need any physical tempering before starting cultivation. Even before that, during Archaic Life Epoch, our 4th and 5th Ancestors, we're also born with Qi Refining cultivation, showing that they didn't need physical tempering or go through refining of Qi for their meridians, they could start building their foundation. But Yuxuan was born with a cultivation of Foundation Establishment, something that I've only ever heard of from our 1st Ancestor who said that 3 experts during Plane Creation Epoch – 1st Epoch were born with the same conditions as Jun Yuxuan and later they went on to become Outers, whether it is true or not, we don't know, what we do know is that Yuxuan has talent that can put him on the same pedestal as an Outer." Said the grey robed elder as he pondered.

"Yes 24th Ancestor, not to mention that Xuan'er also has the determination and correct attitude for becoming a Slayer. Recently he has also started reading books on various secondary professions too and is already at Late Golden Core. With some hard work and resources, he might become an Emperor Realm expert before 5." Answered Jun Chen resepctfully to that grey robed old man who was the 24th Ancestor of Jun Clan.

"Hmm, that's good, but too much radiance will attract some unnecessary attention. Those Huangs have been very restless recently and those Chens are also showing signs of becoming as strong as Xiaos, so try to make sure that they don't try anything funny behind our backs. In this time's Slayer Assessment, let Yuxuan fight that Huang Long kid to a draw and then don't let him participate in any of the future assessments. The next time Yuxuan makes an appearance after this is when he attends Slayer Academy, I will personally do his Bloodline Awakening separately. Also for him to hide his cultivation I'll teach him 15th Ancestor's 'Aura Transformation Art' so he doesn't attract unwanted attention." Said 24th Ancestor as he passed a green scroll to Jun Cheng.

"Thank Y---" Jun Chen couldn't finish speaking as the doors to him room were flung open as Jun Yuxuan walked in.

.

Jun Yuxuan who walked in was surprised to find a grey robed elder talking to his grandfather so he asked curiously, "Grandfather, who is this elder?"

"Hoh… Xuan'er this is your 24th Ancestor, quickly come and greet him." Jun Chen upon seeing that 24th Ancestor didn't mind Yuxuan suddenly barging in explained.

"Ah, I've seen 24th Ancestor." Jun Yuxuan was slightly surprised as he bowed and greeted the old man who didn't give off any aura as if he wasn't there.

"Hahaha, Yuxuan does look very pleasing to the eyes Chen, I'll give you that. As for his talent I don't think there's a need for me to comment." 24th Ancestor chuckled before he looked towards Jun Yuxuan as he continued, "Well Yuxuan, you seemed like you were in a hurry, so why don't we talk about why you came here."

"Oh ancestor, I just wanted to ask about grandfather sending me to participate in the assessment when Main Family members are exempted from it. Also some boy who with thunder powers mouthed off about my mother so I punished him a bit so I just wanted to tell grandfather about it." Jun Yuxuan said calmly.

"Haha so it's about that, it was I who asked Chen to arrange all this because I wanted to let others in the Organization know about your existence and your talent, you can say it was a debut of sorts I arranged for you. You probably don't know but at this moment the other 4 clans should have gotten the news about you already. Our Jun Clan is the strongest in the Organization but that doesn't mean the other 4 clans are pushovers. I just wanted to create an impression that you as the son of First Seat of 25th Generation having this sort of talent is completely normal so the other clans don't try anything funny, not to mention it will shut some people up about your mother." Answered 24th Ancestor before he cast an inquisitive gaze towards Jun Chen as he continued, "As for the boy you beat up…?"

"I'll look into the matter Ancestor, it should be Kun Lei's son I think who was messing around." Jun Chen answered respectfully.

Jun Yuxuan was taken aback a bit by 24th Ancestor's words as he didn't expect his elders were already planning his debut for him. The thought of this made him feel a bit amused.

"Alright, it's good that you're here Yuxuan, I can tell you about some things in person." Said 24th Ancestor bringing Yuxuan's attention to him who obviously had a curious expression on his face.

"It's just some information that will clear your confusion and also what you will do in the future. Firstly in the coming week in Slayer Yearly Assessment you will be fighting Huang Long who is the strongest 10 year this time and also talented enough to be put in Top 3 of this generation's Huang Clan. Fight him to a draw, don't win but also don't lose, by doing this no one will be able to say anything even if you don't participate in future assessments and properly showcase your scary talent to the whole Organization.

After this assessment you won't participate in any future assessments. The only assessment you will participate in is when you turn 11 and have enroll in Slayer Academy. Also there will be a Bloodline Awakening Ceremony for you after you turn 10, this ceremony is also the reason anyone who is 11 or older isn't allowed in any assessments since they have already awakened their bloodlines.

After you awaken your bloodline you will also awaken attribute(s) that you specialize in. Our Jun Clan's Bloodline is called 'Omni Suppression', as the name implies, it can suppress anything, even Laws of 18 Universes itself, as long as your bloodline is strong enough, even cultivators stronger than you will be suppressed to the point they become weaker than you. Huang Clan's Bloodline is 'Interference', it is a very hateful bloodline as it can directly disrupt anything, so you could be going through your Heavenly Tribulation or maybe refining an artifact or a pill but they can interfere with you making things difficult.

Xiao Clan's Bloodline is called 'Life', a pretty strong bloodline which allows them to have a near endless supply of vitality making it very hard for others to injure them let alone kill.

Chen Clan's Bloodline is the polar opposite of Xiao's as it is called 'Death', which allows them not only to have eerie means to preserve their souls after death and come back to life, but also to trace a reincarnated person or find someone's vital status who missing or put curses or hexes on others.

And finally Mu Clan's Bloodline is 'Slaughter', as the name suggests, it is a bloodline most suitable for killing and combat. Those Mu Clan members have an innate talent for weapons and fighting and everything that is violence related. Not to mention the boost they get after using their bloodline is strong enough to even temporarily ignore other bloodlines.

Of course there is your mother's bloodline too, her bloodline is called 'Heaven Devouring', a bloodline that let's you devour anything and everything for cultivation, in the initial stages, kids of that bloodline are almost as fast as kids from our Jun Clan. Of course apart from that if what you devour is related to your practices or attributes you can get a boost in comprehending it too.

Of course your attributes are very important too as using same attribute Martial Arts with them would not only provide a boost to your combat power but also help you comprehend Intent and later Dao itself.

So, how do you feel after knowing all this?" asked 24th Ancestor with a smile on his face as he looked towards Yuxuan.

"I'm certainly intrigued for sure ancestor, but all of these are things of distant future, I don't know if this is the main thing ancestor wanted to talk about…" Answered Yuxuan with uncertainty.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't believe you're this smart at just at the age of 1 Yuxuan hahaha, it's a very good thing though." 24th Ancestor clicked his tongue in marvel as he said, "Exactly as you said my boy, this is just something I wanted to let you know, not the actual matter I wanted to talk about, what I wanted to talk about was that you should start cultivating some Martial Arts, a movement and a utility type if you would because I can already see that you are practicing a very strong Body Cultivation Technique and also have primary control of elements so what you should focus on is your movement and probably a Martial Art that let's you camouflage your breath."

24th Ancestor's words took effect as Jun Yuxuan started pondering over it.

"Alright you can think it over, I will take my leave now, also don't forget about Huang Long's matter, after a week you will not appear in public eye for the next 10 years." Said 24th Ancestor before his body disappeared.
