Chapter 51

After the matter concerning Jun Wan Jie came to an end, the news spread throughout the entire Southern Heaven City.

Jun Xiao Yao's feat of subduing the Fifth Sequence with a casual move and making him submit was widely praised.

Although this could be considered an internal struggle within the Jun family, it also provided a glimpse into Jun Xiao Yao's strength.

In the western part of Southern Heaven City, inside an exquisite and magnificent pavilion, a group of young geniuses were gathering.

These young geniuses came from various orthodox forces, and none of them were weak.

However, among them, there was one young man sitting in the center, like a star surrounded by the moon.

This young man was dressed in a golden robe, with a heroic and martial appearance, a handsome face, and skin as white as jade.

The most striking feature about him was his right arm, which seemed to shimmer with divine light.

If one observed closely, one could see numerous sacred runes flowing and imprinting on his arm bone.

This young man was none other than Ji Xuan, a well-known genius of the ancient Ji family.

At the banquet, a young genius flattered Ji Xuan with a smile, "This time, the secret treasure of the Primordial Heaven Supreme will surely be claimed by Brother Ji Xuan."

"Yes, Brother Ji Xuan is known as a Little Sage and is a Sage Son of the Holy Spirit Academy. His status and position are not something other geniuses can compare to."

Many young geniuses were flattering and currying favor.

Ji Xuan's status was enough for them to fawn over and seek his patronage.

Because Ji Xuan was not just a genius of the ancient Ji family.

He was also a Sage Son of the Holy Spirit Academy.

The Holy Spirit Academy was a profound and ancient institution in the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain, with a legacy spanning countless years.

The geniuses who emerged from the academy were spread across various major forces in the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain.

Even many ancient families and immortal dynasties would send some of their younger disciples to the Holy Spirit Academy for cultivation.

In the Holy Spirit Academy, only the most outstanding disciples could obtain the status of a Sage Son.

Ji Xuan's ability to achieve this status clearly demonstrated that his talent and strength far exceeded those of his peers.

Some geniuses' gazes secretly fell on Ji Xuan's right arm, which faintly glowed.

It was rumored that Ji Xuan's right arm had fused with a segment of a Sage King's hand bone.

In the Sage Realm, a Sage King was an even more powerful existence than a Sage.

A Sage King could dominate all directions and spread his might across the four seas.

Ji Xuan, who was currently at the Unity Realm, had already fused a segment of a Sage King's hand bone.

One could imagine how powerful his strength would be.

Even at his current realm, he could not unleash even a fraction of the power of the Sage King's hand bone.

But it was enough to make him stand out among his peers.

It was also because of this segment of the Sage King's hand bone that he earned the title of Little Sage.

"Speaking of status and position, it reminds me of the divine son of the Jun family." A genius said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the lively banquet fell into a rare silence.

A faintly oppressive atmosphere emerged.

In recent days, they had naturally learned about the matters concerning Jun Xiao Yao and Jun Wan Jie in Southern Heaven City.

For these geniuses, let alone Jun Wan Jie, even Jun Zhang Jian was someone they had to look up to.

And Jun Xiao Yao, who could subdue Jun Wan Jie with a casual move, was like the sun and moon in the sky, something they could only aspire to but never reach.

Some people's gazes subtly turned to Ji Xuan.

They had just been praising Ji Xuan's high status, but compared to Jun Xiao Yao, it seemed insignificant.

Ji Xuan's expression did not change much. He picked up a cup of wine and sipped it slowly, his eyes deep and profound.

"Divine son of the Jun family..." Ji Xuan murmured to himself.

To be honest, when he learned that Jun Xiao Yao had appeared in Southern Heaven City, Ji Xuan really wanted to compete with him.

Not for any other reason, but for the sake of his family.

In the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain, there had always been a concept of the Three Ruling Families.

The Three Ruling Families referred to the three most renowned, profound, and outstanding ancient families.

Among them, the excellence of the younger generation was one of the key indicators for measuring the Three Ruling Families.

After all, only a thriving younger generation could ensure the continuation of the entire ancient family.

The Ji family had once been one of the Three Ruling Families, but now it had become the Jun family, the Jiang family, and the Ye family.

There was no need to elaborate on the Jun family, which had always produced talented individuals. The previous generation alone, with just Jun Wu Hui, was enough to secure the Jun family's position as one of the Three Ruling Families.

In the current generation, there were the Ten Sequences and the exceptional Jun Xiao Yao.

The Jiang family also had Jiang Sheng Yi, who was a Dao Fetus, and Jiang Luo Li, who was a Primordial Spirit Body, along with several other top-tier imperial body geniuses.

As for the Ye family, there was no need to mention the imperial body Ye Xing Yun. Just the reincarnation of a sword demon, Ye Gu Chen, was enough to sustain the Ye family's fortune for ten thousand years.

This was why Ji Xuan felt a bit aggrieved.

Did their Ji family have no geniuses anymore?

However, Ji Xuan was not a fool. He knew that Jun Xiao Yao was not an easy opponent.

But he possessed the Sage King's hand bone and was also a top-tier genius, so he could not simply be intimidated by Jun Xiao Yao.

Some people noticed that Ji Xuan's mood was off and forced a smile, "Hehe, why bring up the divine son of the Jun family? Could Brother Ji Xuan not surpass the divine son of the Jun family?"

"Exactly, Brother Ji Xuan has also surpassed the Jun family's sequences." A young genius flattered.

They were not just saying this for the sake of it.

Ji Xuan had indeed once fought with Jun Zhang Jian.

At that time, he relied on his slightly higher realm to gain a slight advantage and won a few moves against Jun Zhang Jian.

Now, although Ji Xuan's strength had increased, others had not remained stagnant either.

"Jun Xiao Yao, if he does not provoke me first, there is no need for me to provoke him. Moreover, I found some secrets about the Primordial Heaven Supreme and that thing in a damaged ancient text at the Holy Spirit Academy..."

Ji Xuan murmured to himself.

He was not unprepared.

He had once accidentally found an ancient text in the Holy Spirit Academy's scripture hall, which contained not only a Primordial Heaven Supreme Order but also an ancient rune.

The ancient text vaguely recorded some of the deeds and secrets of the Primordial Heaven Supreme.

It seemed that there was a rare treasure hidden within the Primordial Heaven Supreme's secret treasure.

If obtained, it could shape an invincible young supreme.

After obtaining this opportunity, Ji Xuan was extremely excited and had been patiently waiting for the Primordial Heaven Supreme's secret treasure to appear.

And now, the time had finally come.

"As long as I can seize this opportunity, I, Ji Xuan, will soar to the peak of the young generation in the Vast Heaven Immortal Domain."

"At that time, I will sweep away all the young supremes of the Three Ruling Families. Who could stand against me?"

Thinking about the possible future, Ji Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes glowing with determination.

At the same time, at the entrance of Southern Heaven City, a figure in a cloak and hood entered the city.

He lifted his head, revealing a handsome and refined face. It was Xiao Chen!
