Chapter 24

In the capital of the imperial city, outside the gate of the Jun family’s mountain temple.

Countless birds and beasts came in a vast flood, pulling various splendid carriages.

There was a massive tower ship crossing the void.

And at this moment, the gate of the Jun family’s mountain temple was wide open, welcoming guests from all directions.

As for the possibility of someone causing trouble?

The faint array formation shimmering in the void emitted a presence that even sages would fear, enough to intimidate those with impure intentions.

No one or any force dared to cause trouble at the Jun family’s banquet.

"The Daoji Tianzong has arrived, presenting the divine son’s gift, nine volumes of Dao books!"

"It’s the Daoji Tianzong, the old Daoist of the Daoji Tianzong is quite famous." Some people from various forces commented.

"The Dayan Holy Land has arrived, presenting the divine son’s gift, a bottle of Spirit Gathering Jade Marrow, and one hundred supreme divine sources."

"Heaven, the Dayan Holy Land actually brought out the Spirit Gathering Jade Marrow, a rare item that can nourish the true spirit within the divine palace!" Many people were envious upon hearing this.

Each of these gifts, if taken out individually, would be enough to make people flock, and now they were all freely offered as gifts to the Jun family’s divine son.

This couldn’t help but make people envious and jealous.

"The Great Shang Dynasty has arrived, presenting a supreme treasure, a scroll of the Mountain and River Map!"

As the announcement was made, a bright and charming woman arrived with a landscape painting, her smile captivating and her eyes sparkling.

"It’s the princess of the Great Shang Dynasty, what a beauty."

"Alas, such a beauty, we can only admire from afar, but she wants to attach herself to the Jun family’s divine son, truly, comparing people can be heart-wrenching." Many male geniuses from various forces sighed inwardly.

None of them had the qualifications to pursue the princess of the Great Shang Dynasty, yet this princess only wanted to be favored by that divine son.

Next, numerous forces came one after another, presenting their gifts.

There was the Snow Wind Empire from the far north, and the Horizon Dao Academy from the far south.

It could be said that any force that received the imperial sword message did not dare to miss the event.

These forces were all first-class and above, with the qualifications to enter the Jun family’s mountain temple.

As for those second-class forces that did not even reach the first-class level, they could only send gifts and stay at the banquet outside the mountain gate.

These forces did not complain, as they indeed did not have the qualifications.

"The ancient family Jiang has arrived, presenting an ancient holy weapon, three immortality herbs, one hundred top-grade holy pills, and one thousand supreme divine sources..."

The Jun family’s gatekeeper kept announcing.

Such a grand gesture stunned many forces present.

"Isn’t this gift too generous?"

"Did you forget? The Jiang family and the Jun family have been intermarried for generations, and the mother of the Jun family’s divine son is from the Jiang family. The maternal clan has come, so the gift can’t be small, right?"

The Jiang family is considered one of the most friendly immortal forces with the Jun family.

The two families have been intermarried for generations, almost like wearing the same pair of pants.

Two stunning figures directly entered the Jun family’s mountain temple.

The guests present looked at them, their faces frozen in awe, almost entranced.

These two beauties, one older and one younger.

The older one wore a spotless white robe, with a graceful and ethereal demeanor, her features exquisitely beautiful, like a celestial being descending to earth.

The younger one was delicate and charming, with lively eyes, her presence as refined and elegant as a beautiful fairy.

These two women, though different in style, were both stunning, making the world around them seem dull in comparison.

"What beautiful women, the older beauty must be the Jiang family’s divine maiden, Jiang Shengyi, who possesses a先天道胎 (innate Dao embryo)."

"The younger one should be the Jiang family’s beloved daughter, Jiang Luoli, who possesses a Primordial Spirit Dao Body."

Looking at the two beauties, the men present couldn’t take their eyes off them.

And almost at the same time, another voice was heard.

"The ancient Ye family has arrived, presenting ten top-grade holy herbs, one hundred divine sources, and three royal weapons."

Hearing this, many people muttered to themselves.

The ancient Ye family is also quite famous, but the gifts they brought were rather ordinary. Compared to the Jiang family, they were far from impressive, even when compared to a first-class force, they seemed somewhat meager.

However, the relationship between the Ye family and the Jun family was just so-so, so it was natural for them to bring such a small gift.

"Haha, Miss Luoli, please wait a moment."

Two figures walked into the Jun family’s mountain temple, one was an old servant with a goatee, and the other was a blue-robed youth, who was none other than Ye Xingyun.

"It’s the top genius of the Ye family, Ye Xingyun, who possesses the Star King Body!"

"Who are you?" Jiang Luoli turned around, looking at Ye Xingyun, her heart filled with doubt.

Ye Xingyun’s smile froze slightly, feeling a bit awkward, then said, "Miss Luoli, don’t you remember, in the Luoyue Secret Realm..."

Jiang Luoli barely remembered, her face expressionless as she said, "Oh, you’re that... that who?"

"I am from the ancient Ye family, Ye Xingyun." Ye Xingyun felt even more awkward.

Could it be that Jiang Luoli had no impression of him at all?

"Oh, it’s you. Sorry, for those with average looks, Luoli usually doesn’t remember them." Jiang Luoli pouted.

Upon hearing this, the entire venue fell silent.

Ye Xingyun was extremely embarrassed.

To be honest, Ye Xingyun’s looks were not bad, with a sword-like brow and star-like eyes, very handsome and pleasant to look at.

But in Jiang Luoli’s words, he became someone with average looks.

However, Ye Xingyun had a thick skin and still managed to smile, "Miss Luoli, it’s been a while, I wonder if we can sit at the same table later?"

Hearing this, some people present understood.

It seemed that Ye Xingyun’s true intention was not to attend the banquet, but to flirt.

Jiang Shengyi, standing nearby, frowned slightly.

Jiang Rou had always wanted to match Jiang Luoli with Jun Xiaoyao.

Was Ye Xingyun trying to poach?

"Luoli, let’s go find Cousin Jiang Rou." Jiang Shengyi held Jiang Luoli’s hand.

"Okay." Jiang Luoli nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to Ye Xingyun.

Ye Xingyun took a deep breath, still maintaining a calm smile.

"It’s fine, I still have a chance." Ye Xingyun consoled himself.

On the other side, a magnificent hall of the Jun family opened.

Only the most honored guests and top-tier Dao traditions had the qualifications to enter.

The rest of the first-class forces were seated on other divine islands.

The Jiang family, the Ye family, and other ancient families, supreme great clans, and top dynasties also entered.

Various fine wines and delicacies were served, the dishes were luxurious and abundant, all rare treasures.

"Where are the important figures of the Jun family? Where is the divine son?" An elder from a top-tier Dao tradition looked around.

At this moment, a man and a woman, two powerful figures, appeared.

One was a young man in a black robe, with a sharp and sword-like aura.

He was the tenth in the Jun family’s sequence, Jun Zhangjian.

He had specially come out of seclusion to attend Jun Xiaoyao’s tenth birthday banquet.

The woman beside him wore a light blue tassel dress, with a cold aura emanating from her.

Her eyes were ice-blue, her long black hair tied with an ice-blue phoenix hairpin, her skin as cold and white as ice, looking like a beauty carved from ice.

"That is the seventh in the Jun family’s sequence, Jun Xuehuang, who possesses the Ice Spirit Body. It is said that with a single thought, she can freeze a vast region and make the sky snow." Many figures from various forces observed Jun Xuehuang.

The top ten in the Jun family’s sequence were all extraordinary.

Among them were naturally many female heroes, and Jun Xuehuang was one such existence.

"I didn’t expect you to also come out of seclusion to attend Cousin Xiaoyao’s tenth birthday banquet." Jun Zhangjian smiled faintly.

The top ten in the Jun family’s sequence were either in seclusion or wandering the world, exploring various secret realms.

Very few had specially come to attend Jun Xiaoyao’s tenth birthday banquet.

Jun Xuehuang pursed her lips and said coolly, "I just want to see how powerful the divine son who defeated you at the age of three has become."

Hearing this, Jun Zhangjian’s face immediately turned awkward.

This was like bringing up the one sore spot.

And at this moment, another figure walked into the hall.

"Is it him?"

When they saw this figure, both Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang felt a chill, their expressions serious.
