In the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Jun family…
Jun Xiaoyao was sitting cross-legged in a secret cultivation room.
The surroundings were filled with many top-tier divine sources that exuded boundless spirit qi.
In the Mystic Realm, ordinary cultivators used common source stones to cultivate.
Cultivators from top orthodoxies and top forces would use even more precious sources of heaven to cultivate.
Only forces like the Clan of the Ancients, the Supreme Orthodoxy, and the Everlasting Dynasty could afford to use the most precious divine sources.
Above the Source of God was the Source of Immortality. However, that kind of thing could only be chanced upon by luck. Generally, the Clans of the Ancients wouldn't be able to produce much of it.
Origin Stones of different rarity were divided into four grades: low, middle, high, and absolute.
Jun Xiaoyao used the best Divine Source other than the Immortal Source.
It could be said that if Jun Xiaoyao were to casually take out a piece of top-tier divine source, he would be killed by a group of people outside.
At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
In his mind was a magnificent palace.
It was a divine palace formed from soul power.
The five stages of the Physique Stage and the five stages of the Divine Treasure Stage were all about cultivating the body to the extreme.
The Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Stage was about cultivating the spirit sea in one's dantian, which was related to the extent of one's power.
The Nine Levels of Divinity Stage, on the other hand, focused on cultivating the Divinity Stage to strengthen one's soul.
Once Jun Xiaoyao reached the True Spirit Stage…
A true spirit would be born within the divine palace. At that time, his soul power would surge once again.
In the future, he could even turn his truesoul into a primordial spirit and leave his body to roam the world.
'The Meditative Methods of Chaotic Divinity truly are extraordinary…' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
A chaotic world seemed to be born in his mind.
Within the chaos, a massive divine mill was slowly spinning and crushing the world.
The divine mill was stained with blood, looking like the blood of gods and demons.
The Meditative Methods of Chaotic Divinity relied on visualizing the divine mill to crush one's consciousness and soul before reforming them.
As Jun Xiaoyao's soul was destroyed and reborn, it grew increasingly solid and robust.
'An ordinary person who practices this method would definitely be tortured to death, but it doesn't seem too difficult for me,' Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Perhaps it was because he was a transcended soul that his soul power far exceeded that of ordinary people.
The Divine Mill of Chaos was very helpful to him, but it didn't bring him pain.
"As I progress further in my cultivation, I can even conjure the Divine Mill of Chaotic Essence with my soul power as a weapon against enemies."
Jun Xiaoyao clicked his tongue and sighed. "I can endure that kind of pain, but I doubt anyone else could."
He seemed to have gained yet another powerful trump card.
Meanwhile, above the Emperor State…
A Fire Spirit Sparrow flew across the void with a gorgeous carriage, leaving a trail of dazzling flames behind it.
This attracted the attention of many people.
"Huh? That carriage has the totem of the Vermilion Bird. Is that the carriage of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix?"
"That's right. Rumor has it that a member of the royal family of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix used a Fire Spirit Sparrow to pull a carriage. Could it be that famous princess, Bai Yu'er?"
"Judging from the direction she's heading in, it's the Jun family!"
The arrival of the carriage caused many people to discuss among themselves.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the Jun Residence.
Aside from the members of the Jun family, anyone who dared to fly across the sky above the Jun family would be deemed to have invaded the Jun family and killed.
The curtains of the carriage were pushed open. A beautiful woman with long legs and a tall figure walked out. She was Bai Yu'er.
She came alone this time without any attendants.
Bai Yu'er looked around. Countless divine islands were floating in the air within the Jun Residence. All kinds of blessed places were spewing rays of light.
Bai Yu'er was shocked by what she saw.
While the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was also a first-rate power with a great reputation, it paled in comparison to the Jun family of the Clan of the Ancients.
However, the corner of Bai Yu'er's mouth immediately curled into a smirk of confidence and faint disdain.
So what if the Jun family was extraordinary?
That genius of the Jun family was still lusting after her body and wanted to give her the Immortality Herb.
However, Bai Yu'er had already made up her mind not to hand herself over to that genius of the Jun family so easily.
After all, she was engaged.
If something were to happen, wouldn't the crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon become a laughingstock?
Bai Yu'er walked forward after making up her mind.
The gate of the Jun Residence was guarded by the forbidden guards of the Jun family. The guards were as imposing as iron towers and exuded an intimidating aura.
"Halt, visitor. State your name."
The forbidden guard said coldly.
"I am Bai Yu'er, princess of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix. I am here to pay my respects to Jun Linglong," Bai Yu'er said casually.
"Greetings, noble lady? Do you have a token? If not, get lost," the forbidden guard of the Jun family said coldly.
Bai Yu'er's expression stiffened.
She was the princess of a kingdom after all. Even a guard of the Jun family dared to berate her like that.
However, she had come to ask for something, so she could only endure it and take out the jade scroll to communicate with Jun Linglong.
"You may enter." The forbidden guard waved his hand dismissively.
Bai Yu'er bit her lip. Her status as the princess of the Kingdom of Phoenix was so insignificant before the Jun family.
On the other side, Jun Linglong also found Jun Xiaoyao.
"Sir Divine Child, she is here," Jun Linglong said.
"Let's go and see this princess."
Jun Xiaoyao stood up. Dressed in a white robe, he looked dashing. Although he was only eight years old, he was as tall as a teenager.
Bai Yu'er walked into a courtyard that looked like a paradise.
Jun Linglong asked to meet her there.
Bai Yu'er heard footsteps not long after and looked over.
A young man with a slender build and fair skin slowly walked over.
He looked like the son of a deity. He had a godlike appearance and an exceptionally handsome face. A thin layer of light enveloped his body.
Bai Yu'er was left dumbfounded.
She had seen many geniuses and young men, all of whom were handsome and charming.
Compared to the young man before him, however, they were like a firefly compared to the bright moon, like a loach compared to a true dragon. There was simply no comparison.
Even her fiancé, the crown prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon, was handsome and talented. However, he still paled in comparison to the young man before her.
Beside Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong, who was dressed in palace attire, slowly followed behind him.
Bai Yu'er took a deep breath at the sight.
Jun Linglong was a noble daughter of the Jun family, someone whom she had to curry favor with. How did she end up becoming a maid serving someone?
'Who exactly is this genius of the Jun family? Could he be a sequence?' Bai Yu'er's heart was in turmoil.
"Are you Bai Yu'er?" Jun Xiaoyao asked faintly.
"Indeed." Bai Yu'er bowed slightly, but she remained very reserved.
She came to her senses.
No matter how extraordinary the young man before her was, he was still after her.
Since that was the case, there was no need for her to stoop so low as to lower herself.
"Do you want an Immortality Herb to save your father?" Jun Xiaoyao continued.
"That's right. I hope you'll be kind enough to lend a hand, sir," Bai Yu'er said calmly without any signs of humility in her tone.
Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly at the sight.
Why did it seem like…
That didn't seem right.
It was as if she wasn't here to ask for medicine at all, but rather to demand it.
"Oh? Can you give me a reason? After all, the Immortality Herb doesn't just fall from the sky," Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.
Bai Yu'er was slightly stunned before a faint smirk appeared on her face.
'So, he has a purpose after all.'
However, Bai Yu'er would never offer herself in exchange for the Immortality Herb.
She said, "You're an extraordinary person, sir. I'm sure you're of extraordinary status in the Jun family. You shouldn't lack Immortality Herbs. On the other hand, you could save a life by offering one."
"That's not all. Saving my father would mean saving the lives of billions of people in the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix."
"This is as easy as lifting a finger for you as it is for you, sir, but it will bring you merit and prestige. Are you not willing to do it?"
Bai Yu'er then stood on the moral high ground.
If Jun Xiaoyao was capable of providing assistance, why not?
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Jun Xiaoyao felt like laughing when he heard such familiar remarks.
This reminded him of the keyboard warriors who forced celebrities and tycoons to donate money in his previous life.
'I never knew that I would be so moralistic one day.' Jun Xiaoyao felt rather exasperated.
