Generally speaking, Jun Xiaoyao rarely went into seclusion.
But whenever he did, he would emerge with earth-shattering changes.
Jun Linglong and the others stood respectfully outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.
Before long, Jun Xiaoyao pushed open the door and walked out.
His clothes were as white as snow, his demeanor otherworldly. His face remained extraordinarily handsome, capable of making all women's hearts flutter.
Different from before, Jun Xiaoyao's aura had become even more sublime.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao gave people the feeling of an immortal banished to the mortal world.
Now, this feeling was even stronger.
"Why do I feel like the Divine Son seems like an immortal about to ride the wind and depart..." Jun Xuefeng murmured.
They naturally didn't know.
This was because Jun Xiaoyao had cultivated the Great Luo Immortal Body.
Jun Xiaoyao also didn't tell Jun Linglong and the others about the matter of the Body Book.
It was better if fewer people knew about such things.
Moreover, it wasn't just Jun Xiaoyao's aura that had improved. The vague sense of authority he exuded made even Jun Wanjie feel extremely dangerous.
As the Fifth Sequence, his strength surpassed Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuefeng, and Jun Linglong.
But even he felt a sense of dread when facing the current Jun Xiaoyao.
"The young master has become even more unfathomable than before. Now, I might not even be able to withstand a single move from him," Jun Wanjie thought to himself.
"I've been in seclusion for almost a year, yet I've only refined six Great Luo Immortal Bones." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head, sighing inwardly.
He hadn't expected that over a hundred extremely rare immortal sources would only refine six Great Luo Immortal Bones.
This consumption was too terrifying.
"If an ordinary person were to cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Body, they probably wouldn't know how many years it would take just to gather the resources," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
If one were to observe his right arm at this moment, they would discover that it was faintly surrounded by divine light, enveloped in an immortal aura.
The six Great Luo Immortal Bones that Jun Xiaoyao had refined were all concentrated in his right arm.
This way, he could concentrate his power and bring out part of the effects of the Great Luo Immortal Bones earlier.
"Congratulations to the Divine Son on emerging from seclusion!"
Jun Linglong and the other three bowed deeply to Jun Xiaoyao in unison.
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand slightly.
Then, he took out four ancient dragon bones.
"Young Master, this is..." Jun Zhangjian and the others looked puzzled.
"These four ancient dragon bones, one for each of you," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Young Master, this is too precious..." Jun Xuefeng said, feeling a sense of unexpected favor.
Ancient dragon bones were rare treasures even in the outside world.
If Jun Xiaoyao kept them all for himself, they wouldn't have any complaints, after all, Jun Xiaoyao had contributed the most.
"We're all family here. When I tell you to take them, just take them. No need to be polite," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
"Yes, thank you, Divine Son!" Jun Zhangjian and the others hesitated briefly before nodding.
Their expressions all carried a trace of gratitude.
These dragon bones would be of great use to them as well.
This gesture from Jun Xiaoyao further solidified their resolve to follow him.
"By the way, Young Master, Linglong has something to report," Jun Linglong stepped forward as if remembering something.
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Then, Jun Linglong briefly told Jun Xiaoyao about the matters of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
"So that's how it is. I understand," Jun Xiaoyao nodded calmly.
At this moment, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, a new check-in location has been refreshed. Please check in at the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom's Palace!"
"Is the system going to give me something for free again?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze narrowed, his expression very calm.
He had originally planned to visit the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom personally.
The system was truly thoughtful.
"Then, Young Master, what should we do?" Jun Linglong asked.
The reason she cared wasn't because of Bai Yuer, but because the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was Jun Xiaoyao's private force.
Wouldn't harming the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom endanger Jun Xiaoyao's interests?
"Relay my order, mobilize ten thousand men each from the Jun family's Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, handing a golden token to Jun Linglong.
That was the Divine Son's Token, also the symbol of Jun Xiaoyao's identity as the Divine Son.
"To actually mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards!" Jun Zhangjian and the others had traces of shock hidden in their pupils.
The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards were an extremely powerful force of the Jun family.
They were the Wind Shadow Guard, Imperial Forest Guard, Fire Cavalry Guard, and Mountain God Guard respectively.
These four guards were not the only military force of the Jun family, but they were quite renowned among them.
They helped the Jun family suppress rebellious forces in all directions and guard the various Dao provinces and territories of the Jun family. Wherever they passed, they were like a steel torrent that no one could resist!
Among the soldiers of these four teams, the weakest had Nirvana realm cultivation, and there were many experts of the Skyreach realm and Divine Fire realm.
Moreover, ordinary geniuses of the Jun family absolutely couldn't mobilize these four guards.
Even the Ten Sequences, if they wanted to mobilize them, would have to go through some procedures, and the number they could mobilize couldn't be too large.
Only Jun Xiaoyao had the qualification to freely mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards, without limit in number or conditions.
As long as he produced the Divine Son's Token, he could mobilize them.
"Divine Son, let us go too. We can treat it as a form of training," Jun Zhangjian spoke up.
Jun Xiaoyao pondered briefly, then nodded and said, "Very well. Then you should also make preparations."
"Yes," Jun Zhangjian and the others bowed and left to prepare.
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "The Four Symbols Ancient Kingdoms are forces I plan to gather. Who would dare to pluck my peach?"
Jun Xiaoyao didn't believe that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom alone could conquer the other ancient kingdoms.
When Jun Linglong told him the news, she also mentioned that there seemed to be a mysterious force helping the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.
This was worth pondering.
Jun Xiaoyao was also curious about who was standing behind the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.
And was that person's goal simply to unify the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdoms?
"It seems these four great ancient kingdoms might not be so simple. There might be some unknown history behind them. I'll ask Bai Yuer when the time comes," Jun Xiaoyao said to himself.
Then, he went directly to find Jun Zhantian.
The matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom wasn't a big deal to him.
Even if it was accidentally destroyed, Jun Xiaoyao would only feel slightly regretful.
As for Bai Yuer, Jun Xiaoyao had never really cared about her, she was just a pawn in his hand.
What Jun Xiaoyao wanted to understand now was the matter of the bronze fragment in the wooden box.
Therefore, he went to find Jun Zhantian.
However, after Jun Zhantian saw the bronze fragment, his expression became extremely solemn.
"Xiaoyao, where did this fragment come from?" Jun Zhantian asked.
"From within the Yuantian Secret Treasure. It should have been brought from the foreign realm by the Yuantian Supreme," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He had nothing to hide from Jun Zhantian.
"So that's how it is. This bronze fragment is involved in something very deep," Jun Zhantian said gravely.
This was the first time Jun Xiaoyao had seen Jun Zhantian's expression so solemn.
"Grandfather, what exactly is the origin of this bronze fragment?" Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but become even more curious.
"Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of the Seven Wonders of the Immortal Realm?" Jun Zhantian asked in a deep voice.
"The Seven Wonders?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.
