In Nantian City…
After the incident with the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian came to an end, the experts from various forces gathered in the city were ready to leave.
Jun Xiaoyao was returning to the Jun family.
Jiang Shengyi was about to return to the Jiang family.
Jun Zhangjian and the others sensed the tension in the air and retreated far away.
Jiang Shengyi wore a snow-white robe and had a slender figure. She looked like a snow lotus that stood aloof from the world.
Her beautiful face was fair and translucent, as if it was glowing.
Due to her Innate Energy Vessel, she appeared to be transcendent and refined, making her seem as if she was about to be elevated.
It was as if he could gain enlightenment just by standing beside Jiang Shengyi.
Jun Xiaoyao casually smiled and said, "Sister Shengyi, I'm so envious of your body type. I feel like I'm about to achieve enlightenment and ascend while standing next to you."
If anyone else were to stand before Jiang Shengyi, they would definitely feel inferior.
Jun Xiaoyao was completely different.
Not only was his extraordinary temperament not inferior to Jiang Shengyi's, but it was even superior.
"If I were to stay by your side every day from now on, wouldn't you be able to comprehend the Dao every day?" Jiang Shengyi teased with a faint smile.
She then suddenly realized what was going on and blushed.
She then recalled how she was so intimate with Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Body back in the Supreme Treasure that she felt her cheeks burning.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't seem to notice it. He said with a faint smile, "It's all thanks to Sister Shengyi that the treasure is in there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to suppress the demonic corpse on my own."
Jiang Shengyi shook her head. "No, I'm just a support."
Then, she changed the subject and said, "Luoli, that girl. Misses you so much. She keeps asking to come out and find you."
Jun Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Jiang Lolita… Sigh, starting from three years old, that's the highest sentence of death…"
Jiang Shengyi was confused.
Jun Xiaoyao would occasionally say something that she couldn't understand.
After chatting for a while, Jun Xiaoyao said goodbye to Jiang Shengyi.
When Jiang Shengyi returned to the Jiang family, the elder of the Jiang family stepped forward and said, "Shengyi, we of the Jiang family must deepen our relationship with the divine child. Do you think you could let Luoli and the divine child…"
The elder of the Jiang family gestured, obviously trying to matchmake the two.
The Jiang family would certainly agree to it.
Jiang Shengyi's expression froze slightly.
After a while, she forced a smile and said, "Sure. I'll see if I can become a matchmaker in the future."
"Haha, that's great," the elder of the Jiang family said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao returned to the group from the Jun family.
He had absolutely no interest in marriage or cultivation partners right now.
After all, his goal was to reign supreme over this era and stand at the pinnacle of the world.
"Go home, grandpa," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He couldn't wait to see what kind of opportunity was inside the wooden box.
"Alright." Jun Zhantian nodded slightly.
The group from the Jun family also set off for the Emperor State.
…
The Xuan State, one of the three thousand mystical states.
That state was where the Ji family of the Clan of the Ancients lived.
As a Clan of the Ancients, the Ji family was not to be underestimated, even if they were not among the top three families.
How weak could any Clan of the Ancients be?
Ji Bangyin returned to the Ji family with a dispirited Ji Xuan who looked like a walking corpse.
The Ji family was thrown into chaos.
The elders of Ji Xuan's line were all filled with indignation, wishing they could just stomp through the gate of the Jun family.
Although the other lineages were also angry, they were able to maintain their composure.
Even so, the Ji family remained silent.
That was because the Ji family would never wage war against the Jun family over a crippled Ji Xuan.
If the two ancient families of the Great Wilderness were to wage war, it would be an undying war that would shake the entire Mystic Realm.
More importantly, Ji Xuan was defeated by Jun Xiaoyao fair and square, not because he was framed.
It was common for the younger generation to fight and kill each other.
The Ji family also couldn't find a sufficient reason to deal with the Jun family.
As such, he could only swallow his anger.
However, Ji Bangyin couldn't take it anymore.
He made up his mind and went to the depths of the Ji family, outside of a valley brimming with the aura of immortality.
The entire valley seemed to be enshrouded in divine light, making it seem like spring all year round.
Ji Bangyin asked, "Is Miss Qingyi here?"
It was hard to imagine a saint speaking to a junior in such a calm tone.
One could easily imagine how extraordinary the status of this junior was.
Before long, a charming voice was heard.
"Qing Yi is here. What's the matter, elder?"
She was nowhere to be seen.
However, the sound alone was enough to make people reminisce.
Ji Bangyin said in a low voice, "Miss Qingyi, please restore the Ji family's reputation and avenge Ji Xuan."
The person he asked for help from was Ji Qingyi, the most outstanding genius of the Ji family.
At the same time, she was also the saintess of the Renxian Sect, an immortal sect.
Ji Qingyi's status and identity as the genius of the Ji family and the saintess of the Renxian Sect were both extraordinary.
Ji Bangyin then told Ji Qingyi about the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian.
It was only after a long while that Ji Qingyi's voice rang out like a clear spring waterfall.
"I understand. However, I will be returning to the Renxian Sect to pay my respects to the Carved Immortal. I will take this matter to heart."
"Alright, alright. I'll prioritize Miss Qingyi's affairs." Ji Bangyin nodded before leaving.
"The divine child of the Jun family? He seems to be an interesting character."
"May I ask how much surprise I can bring to Qing Yi?"
…
Several days later, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the Jun family of the Emperor State.
There was also a small incident.
The Nine-headed Lion Clan's big shot, the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint, arrived at the Jun family's gate.
Jun Xiaoyao appeared on the Nine-headed Lion.
He wanted to see if the leader of the Nine-headed Lion Clan would be as stupid as Supreme Youlong.
Some of the spectating cultivators outside were even more stunned when they saw Jun Xiaoyao appearing on the Nine-headed Lion.
Riding its descendant before the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint was a blatant provocation!
Just when the outside world thought that the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint would wreak havoc in the Jun family…
The Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint then turned to the Nine-headed Lion and said with a serious expression, "Gou Sheng, you're lucky to be chosen by the divine child of the Jun family. You won't lose out by being by his side."
His words petrified everyone present.
"Is he still that domineering Nine-Spirit Essence Saint?" Many cultivators were dumbfounded.
Why was the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint acting like a coward when he was facing the Jun Family?
"Grandpa, you…" The Nine-headed Lion was also stunned. Its entire body was stiff, and its fur was standing on end. Even its tail was tense.
He thought that the Nine-Spirit Dimensional Saint was here to save him, but he ended up saying something like that?
He even exposed its shameful name.
"So, your real name is Gou Sheng, huh?" Jun Xiaoyao wore a playful expression.
"Haha, you must be joking, Divine Child. The Nine-headed Lion Clan is having a difficult time giving birth and surviving. It would be wise for us to give birth to infants," the Nine-Spirit Venerate said with a chuckle.
The Nine-headed Lion was on the verge of tears. At that moment, it wanted nothing more than to dig into the ground and bury itself like an ostrich.
How embarrassing. What kind of challenge was this?
This incident made many people realize just how intimidating the Jun family was.
Even the powerful Nine-Spirit Essence Saint didn't dare to behave atrociously in front of the Jun family's mountain gate. He even took the initiative to have his descendants follow the divine child of the Jun family.
Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace in peace after the incident ended.
"It's time to explore the secrets of this wooden box." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with anticipation.
