Outside the gate of the Jun Residence, two groups of people stood in the sky.
The Nine-headed Lion radiated a dazzling golden light.
The Qilin Beast stood on violet clouds, looking very mystical and powerful.
"Cousin Xiaoyao, shall we compete again at the Heavenly Dao Tower this time?" Jun Lingcang asked.
He swept his gaze across the void in the distance, as if he wanted to see the beautiful figure in gray.
Jun Xiaoyao also smiled. "Since you're so interested, I guess I'll just have to play along."
The two of them seemed to be speaking in a calm manner, yet they seemed to be arguing with each other.
The elders of the Jun family were relieved to see that.
They naturally understood that Jun Lingcang's heart was obviously aching because of Ah-Jiu's choice.
What they feared the most was to see Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Lingcang fall out and become enemies.
If Sequence Zero and Sequence One were to become enemies, it would not be good for the Jun family.
It might even affect the future of the clan.
Fortunately, both of them had a certain bearing and didn't disappoint the elders of the Jun family.
Such a contest was within reason.
"This time, I hope that the geniuses of the Jun family will be able to dominate the Heaven Dao Tower!" an elder said with a bold smile.
It would be wonderful if the geniuses of their clan could dominate the Heaven Dao Tower.
As one of the three families of the Jun family, they had the confidence to do so.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others set off for the Shengling Academy…
The other forces also took action.
Some people saw a terrifying golden bird soaring into the sky within a golden mountain range.
With a flap of his wings, he created a huge storm like a cloud hanging in the sky!
"Gasp, could it be that the Golden-Winged Little Peng King of the Holy Mountain of Garuda is out of seclusion?"
Many cultivators were shocked.
The Golden-Winged Roc was also known as Garuda.
The Holy Mountain of Garuda was also a top-notch Far ancient royal family.
Just like the Nine-headed Lion Clan, this lineage had very few members. As such, they were unable to meet the standards of the far ancient royal family.
However, that didn't mean that the Sacred Mountain of Garuda was weak.
Every genius that walked out of it had the courage to sweep across the world.
The most famous one among them was none other than the Golden-Winged Little Peng King.
His name was Jin Lie, and he was the best-known genius of the current generation of the Sacred Mountain of Garuda.
His power was on par with the top geniuses of the Far ancient royal family, if not better.
At the very least, geniuses like Huang Xuanyi and Feng Qingling would be intimidated by Jin Lie.
"I'm finally out of seclusion. This time, I, Jin Lie, will reign supreme in the Heavenly Dao Tower!"
With a flap of its wings, the golden-winged roc tore through the sky like a bolt of golden lightning.
…
In the western state of the Huangtian Mystic Realm…
At the entrance of an ancient temple that looked simple and natural.
"Fahai, you can't calm down. It's too chaotic. Why don't you take a walk in the mortal world?"
"Your Zhangliu Golden Body is one step away from perfection. The cause and effect… are in the Heavenly Dao Tower."
An old monk with long eyebrows and a kasaya draped over his shoulders said to a handsome young monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The young monk by the name of Fahai said, "Don't worry, master. I will never go let down the name of the western paradise. I will go to the mortal world and spread the Buddhist chants of the western paradise."
The old monk sighed and said, "It's not a good idea to fight for supremacy. You're on your own now."
Anyone who saw this scene would definitely be shocked.
The Little Western Sky was a powerful orthodoxy that had a long history in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.
Countless believers throughout the mystic realm were gathering the power of faith.
No one knew how deep the foundation of the western paradise was.
Rumor had it that the western paradise was related to the ancient Buddha Emperor.
In the current era, the western paradise was extremely low-profile and rarely made public appearances.
The outside world only knew that the most outstanding genius in the western paradise was the Buddhist Child and the Buddhist Daughter.
The man standing before him was Fahai from the western paradise.
"Farewell, Master." Fahai put his hands together and bowed slightly.
However, when he turned around, a smirk was seen on his face.
"I can finally join the world. Who should I convert?"
"Let me think about it. If I still lack a mount, I'll just convert a Nine-headed Lion or a Golden-Winged Roc."
"As for the female benefactors, they have been trapped in the abyss for a long time. I need to save them."
Fahai laughed.
He was extremely talented and could easily master all kinds of Abhijnas.
He had even cultivated the supreme technique of the western paradise, the Mighty Heavenly Dragon Scripture, to an extremely profound level.
On the other hand, Fahai didn't seem like a monk at all. On the contrary, he seemed more like a mortal with six unclean roots.
Now that he was finally able to enter the world, it was only natural that Fahai wouldn't just walk around like a pure monk.
It was time for him, the Buddhist child of the western paradise, to make a name for himself.
…
The Shengling Academy was located in the Heavenly Spirit State.
As an academy with a long history, its disciples were scattered throughout the Mystic Realm. It could be said that they had plenty of disciples throughout the world.
With such a terrifying network of connections, ordinary forces would never dare to provoke the Shengling Academy.
Even the Immortals treated the Shengling Academy with respect.
Of course, that didn't include the Jun family.
The Shengling Academy also didn't want to provoke a top-notch immortal force like the Jun family.
That was why the Shengling Academy had changed their way of welcoming Jun Xiaoyao.
However, just because the Shengling Academy had given in didn't mean that their disciples would do the same.
As the Holy Child of the Shengling Academy, Ji Xuan was like a figurehead.
On the other hand, Jun Xiaoyao had beaten him so hard that his Dao heart had collapsed, turning him into a cripple.
Wasn't this telling the world that the students taught by the Shengling Academy were all capable of such things?
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao had indirectly destroyed the reputation of the Shengling Academy.
Most male disciples of the Shengling Academy hated Jun Xiaoyao.
Many of the female disciples were watching.
That was because they heard that the divine child of the Jun family had the appearance of a celestial being. He was exceptionally handsome and could be said to be the most handsome deity in the Mystic Realm.
If it truly met their expectations, they could at least forgive him a little.
At that moment, two men and a woman were gathered in a pavilion by the lake.
One of the men was dressed in a black and white robe. His eyes seemed to be one black and one white. They were flowing with a mysterious charm.
He was one of the Saints of the Shengling Academy. His background was also very powerful.
"Jun Xiaoyao crippled Brother Ji Xuan, yet he still shamelessly came to the Heavenly Dao Tower to get his hands on the opportunity. How utterly shameless."
The other young man, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and exuded an imperial aura, shook his head and said, "Who asked him to be the divine child of the Jun family? If he's not domineering, then who is?"
"I wonder how extraordinary the divine child of the Jun family is. Even Daoist Ji Xuan, who is so powerful, was defeated by him."
The other woman was dressed in a high-waisted dress with silky black hair that fell to her hips.
Her skin was fair and smooth, making her look elegant and ravishing.
She sounded rather curious.
Ji Xuan was considered to be very powerful among the saint children and saintesses.
She found it unbelievable that someone could break his Dao heart.
The well-dressed young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Hua Xiqing, you're the Holy Maiden of the Shengling Academy. You shouldn't side with outsiders when the time comes."
The young man in the black and white robe sneered and said, "It's not that simple to get into the Shengling Academy."
"As long as one is a genius, they will choose to take part in the test. They will step onto the 99th step of the Heavenly Stairway and ring the ancient bell 18 times. Only then will they be able to enter the Dragon Gate."
"If the divine child of the Jun family were to die in these three stages, they would be utterly humiliated."
The elegant man shook his head and said, "These three trials are indeed difficult. Even when I first entered the Shengling Academy, it took me quite a bit of effort to barely pass them."
"Then let's just wait for the divine child to arrive," Hua Xiqing said softly.
