Chapter 82

Jun Xiaoyao, in general, rarely goes into seclusion.

But whenever he does, he always emerges with a complete transformation.

Jun Linglong and others stood respectfully outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Not long after, Jun Xiaoyao pushed the door open.

He was dressed in snow-white robes, his demeanor transcendent, and his face as handsome as ever, capable of making any woman's heart flutter.

What was different now was that Jun Xiaoyao's aura had become even more refined.

Previously, he gave off a feeling of being a celestial being exiled from heaven.

Now, that feeling was even stronger.

"How can I feel that the Divine Son seems to have the aura of a celestial about to ride the wind and ascend..." Jun Xuehuang murmured.

They naturally did not know.

This was because Jun Xiaoyao had cultivated the Great Luo Immortal Body.

Jun Xiaoyao also did not tell Jun Linglong and others about the Body Scripture.

The fewer people who knew about such matters, the better.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao's improvement was not just in his aura. The faintly revealed might made even Jun Wanjie feel an extreme sense of danger.

As a member of the Fifth Sequence, his strength surpassed that of Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Linglong.

But even he felt a chill when facing the current Jun Xiaoyao.

"The Young Master has become even more unfathomable. I might not be able to withstand even one move from him now," Jun Wanjie thought to himself.

"Almost a year in seclusion, and only six Great Luo Immortal Bones have been refined." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head, sighing inwardly.

He had not expected that over a hundred extremely rare Immortal Sources would only refine six Great Luo Immortal Bones.

The consumption was truly terrifying.

"If an ordinary person were to cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Body, they would probably spend years just gathering the resources," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

If one were to observe his right arm at this moment, they would notice that it was faintly enveloped in divine light, with a sense of immortality surrounding it.

The six Great Luo Immortal Bones that Jun Xiaoyao had refined were all concentrated in his right arm.

This way, he could concentrate his strength and unleash the partial effects of the Great Luo Immortal Bones earlier.

"Congratulations on your emergence from seclusion, Divine Son!"

Jun Linglong and the other three bowed and clasped their hands in unison to Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand slightly.

Then, he took out four ancient dragon bones.

"Master, what are these..." Jun Zhangjian and others looked puzzled.

"These four ancient dragon bones, one for each of you." Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

"Master, these are too precious..." Jun Xuehuang said, feeling honored and surprised.

Ancient dragon bones were rare treasures in the outside world.

Even if Jun Xiaoyao kept them all to himself, they would have no complaints, as Jun Xiaoyao had contributed the most.

"Since we are family, take them without hesitation." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

"Yes, thank you, Divine Son!" Jun Zhangjian and others hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

Their expressions were filled with gratitude.

These dragon bones would be of great use to them.

Jun Xiaoyao's gesture further solidified their resolve to follow him.

"By the way, 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 concerning the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

"Is that so, I understand." Jun Xiaoyao nodded calmly.

At that moment, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind again.

"Congratulations, host, a new check-in location has been refreshed. Please check in at the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom's imperial palace!"

"Is the system going to give me something for free again?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze narrowed, but his expression remained calm.

He had originally planned to visit the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom himself.

The system was indeed considerate.

"Then, Master, what should we do?" Jun Linglong asked.

She was concerned not because of Bai Yuer, but because the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was a private force of Jun Xiaoyao.

Anything that harmed the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom would also harm Jun Xiaoyao's interests.

"Transmit my order, mobilize ten thousand each of the Jun Family's Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards."

Jun Xiaoyao spoke calmly, handing a golden token to Jun Linglong.

It was the Divine Son's token, a symbol of his status as the Divine Son.

"Even the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards are being mobilized!" Jun Zhangjian and others were visibly shocked.

The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards were a formidable force of the Jun Family.

They were the Wind Shadow Guard, the Imperial Forest Guard, the Fire Cavalry Guard, and the Mountain God Guard.

These four guards were not the only military forces of the Jun Family, but they were among the most renowned.

They helped the Jun Family suppress rebellious forces and protect the various Dao Prefectures, sweeping through all resistance like an unstoppable steel flood.

The weakest among the soldiers of these four guards had the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm, and there were many with the cultivation of the Heaven-Transcending Realm and the Divine Fire Realm.

Moreover, these four guards could not be mobilized by ordinary Jun Family prodigies.

Even the Ten Sequences would need to go through some procedures and could not mobilize too many of them.

Only Jun Xiaoyao had the authority to mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards without any restrictions.

As long as he presented the Divine Son's token, he could mobilize them.

"Divine Son, we should go too, as a form of training." Jun Zhangjian suggested.

Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alright, then you should also prepare."

"Yes." Jun Zhangjian and others bowed and went to make preparations.

Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "The Four Symbols Ancient Kingdoms are forces I plan to gather. Who dares to snatch my fruit?"

Jun Xiaoyao did not believe that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom alone could conquer the other ancient kingdoms.

Jun Linglong had also mentioned that a mysterious force seemed to be aiding the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

This was worth pondering.

Jun Xiaoyao was also curious about who stood behind the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

Was their goal simply to unify the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdoms?

"It seems these four ancient kingdoms are not so simple. There might be some unknown history behind them. I'll ask Bai Yuer when the time comes," Jun Xiaoyao mused.

Then, he went directly to Jun Zhantian.

The matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was not a big deal to him.

Even if it were accidentally destroyed, Jun Xiaoyao would only feel a slight regret.

As for Bai Yuer, Jun Xiaoyao had never taken her seriously; she was just a pawn in his hands.

What Jun Xiaoyao wanted to understand now was the matter of the bronze fragment in the wooden box.

That was why he went to Jun Zhantian.

However, when Jun Zhantian saw the bronze fragment, his expression became extremely serious.

"Xiaoyao, where did this fragment come from?" Jun Zhantian asked.

"From the Secret Treasury of Yuan Tian, it should have been brought by the Supreme Yuan Tian from another realm." Jun Xiaoyao replied.

He had nothing to hide from Jun Zhantian.

"Is that so, this bronze fragment is deeply involved." Jun Zhantian said solemnly.

This was the first time Jun Xiaoyao had seen Jun Zhantian look so serious.

"Grandfather, what is the origin of this bronze fragment?" Jun Xiaoyao could not help but become even more curious.

"Xiaoyao, have you heard of the Seven Great Mysteries of the Immortal Realm?" Jun Zhantian asked gravely.

"Seven Great Mysteries?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.
