Chapter 26

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As people might have expected, only a higher-level Sequence could unnerve two Sequences of the Jun family.

The person who walked into the main hall was a young man clad in silver armor.

He had a square face and a dominating demeanor. The jagged scar on his cheek made him appear even more intimidating.

The young man’s eyes were like two bolts of lightning that generated electricity around him. The elements of lightning in his eyes made it difficult to read his expression.

“I can’t believe it’s him!”

“What a surprise that he’s here as well!”

Many geniuses from other forces wore stern expressions on their faces upon recognizing the young man.

Even Ye Xingyun narrowed his eyes and solemnly said, “I didn’t think that he would come. It’s Jun Wanjie, the Sequence Five of the Jun family.”

Jun Wanjie was a legendary genius.

As a child born in the collateral line of the Jun family, he was bullied and ignored by others due to his low status.

Once those who were born into the collateral line of the Jun family reached adulthood, they would usually be sent to other mystical states to manage the Jun family’s business.

Jun Wanjie was supposed to be one of them.

However, that was before he accidentally inherited a supreme method known as the Heavenly Method for Surviving Calamities.

Because of that, Jun Wanjie became aware of his top-tier body type; he possessed the Combat Body of Thunder Calamity!

The Combat Body of Thunder Calamity was extremely powerful, easily making it among the top 300 of the three thousand different body types.

As a result, Jun Wanjie immediately rose to the position of Sequence Five of the Jun family.

Although the ten Sequences of the Jun family were all extraordinary fighters, they weren’t all equally strong.

The fact that Jun Wanjie was able to become the Sequence Five was enough evidence of how strong he was.

However, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang furrowed their eyebrows upon Jun Wanjie’s arrival.

This was simply because Jun Wanjie was bullied as a child for being a collateral relative.

Because of his cold and arrogant demeanor, Jun Wanjie was not on good terms with the other Sequences.

“I’m surprised that a man like him came to attend brother Xiaoyao’s Ten Years Old Banquet,” Jun Zhangjian muttered. He didn’t seem to be fond of Jun Wanjie either.

“Perhaps he came to witness the divine child’s power for himself. After all, the divine child probably will join the ten Sequences in the future,” Jun Xuehuang guessed.

None of the Sequences knew that Jun Xiaoyao had been assigned as Sequence Zero for a long time now.

Jun Wanjie immediately sat by himself. No one around dared to approach him.

The appearance of three Sequences of the Jun family made the atmosphere in the main hall livelier.

At that point, several people with formidable force arrived at the palace one after another. Several cultivators from different mystic orthodoxies were startled as they shifted their attention towards the entrance.

Every elder of the Jun family looked intimidating with awe-inspiring power.

Jun Xiaoyao’s mother, Jiang Rou, also entered the main hall.

“Thank you all for attending the Ten Years Old Banquet for my grandson. Words cannot express my appreciation for your presence.” Jun Zhantian was the old man in the middle wearing a golden robe. He cupped one hand in the other in front of his chest as a sign of respect.

“It’s our pleasure!”

“We’re honored to finally meet the divine child!” Everyone in the room smiled and returned the salute.

An elder from the mystic orthodoxy asked with hesitation, “May I ask where the Sir Divine Child is right now?”

Upon hearing the elder’s question, many people paid close attention; they were also curious about the divine child.

The banquet already started, but the star of the event still hadn’t shown up. It was more or less inappropriate at this point. At this point, the divine child’s tardiness was considered to be more or less improper.

Besides, the majority of the guests came here mostly to see the true face of the divine child of the Jun family.

“My apologies, everyone. My grandson has been cultivating in seclusion, but I’m sure he will be here soon…”

Before Jun Zhantian’s voice faded away, a deafening sound came from the Heavenly Emperor Palace deep inside the Jun Manor.

Thunder rumbled in the distance as magnificent and colorful beams of sunlight illuminated the sky.

“What’s going on there? That’s quite a scene!”

“It seems that someone just made a breakthrough. Is that the divine child?”

“Even so, this is a terrifying surge of energy from achieving a breakthrough!”

The cultivators sitting in the main hall could all feel the shock wave coming from the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Although they were left dumbfounded and bewildered, they took in a deep breath to maintain their composure.

The divine child of the Jun family was only ten years old.

Bang!

From a distance, the brilliant golden light in the sky above the Heavenly Emperor Palace appeared to be dazzling and glorious.

The vague silhouette of a Divine Elephant of the Ancients took shape and dominated the world.

“What kind of method is that? I admit that I’m a bit worried about what it is…”

Upon sensing the strength of the Divine Elephant of the Ancients, Ye Xingyun’s expression slightly changed.

With his Kingly Body of Stars and exceptional talents, Ye Xingyun had always been arrogant enough to believe that he could conquer the world.

The Divine Elephant of the Ancients had now thrown him off.

Ye Xingyun tightly knitted his eyebrows together. He didn’t like this feeling.

Just as the guests were knocked sideways, a giant hand appeared in the sky and blocked the mysterious phenomenon from view. Because of that, the crowd could no longer see what was happening.

“That hand… Could it be… a supreme cultivator?”

The huge hand over the extraordinary phenomenon took everyone’s breath away, leaving their mouths agape in disbelief.

There was no doubt that the one who intervened was a supreme cultivator.

“Could that be the Eighteenth Ancestor of the Jun family?” Some people guessed to themselves but didn’t say out loud for others to hear.

Just when the cultivators from various groups were speculating about the marvelous sight, the gate of the Heavenly Emperor Palace finally opened to reveal a man gracefully emerging from the dazzling light.

Meanwhile, everyone’s attention was on the person who walked out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

The young man had a slender figure covered by a snow-white robe. Being enveloped in a faint mist and a soft divine light made him look like a demigod that was not of this world.

His hair and body radiantly shined like the finest jade.

His face was mostly obscured by the mist, but people could still vaguely make it out.

It was almost surreal how handsome and exquisite he was.

Everyone who laid their eyes on him became confused.

Was he truly human, or was he an angel who accidentally fell into the mortal world?

The land fell into a dead silence.

Plenty of women even seemed to forget how to breathe for a while.

Even the girls of the Jun family who had met Jun Xiaoyao in the past could feel their hearts skip a beat at the sight of him.

Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have elevated to an even higher level after cultivating in seclusion for a year. Thus, he looked more mature and inscrutable.

“Nobody in the world could ever be as beautiful as the divine child…”

A young girl from the Jun family muttered in a daze. She was overwhelmed and stupefied at the sight of Jun Xiaoyao.

Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao was a little baffled by the sight of the people staring at him.

“It’s my Ten Years Old Banquet already?”

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t realize that he had been in seclusion for a year. To him, it only felt as if he had been cultivating for just a second.

He advanced even further in his cultivation, reaching the ultimate nine levels of true spirit.

It far outstripped his original goal of breaking into the True Spirit Stage.

It was safe to say that few people in the entire history of the Huangtian Mystic Realm had reached the nine levels of true spirit at the age of ten.

Throughout all of the Huangtian Mystic Realm’s history,

Jun Linglong, who had been waiting for him outside of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, stepped forward and said to Jun Xiaoyao, “Sir Divine Child, the banquet has begun.”

Bai Yu’er had already returned to the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

“OK, let’s go to the main hall now.” Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and strode across the sky. It looked as if he was a demigod.

The crowd was pulled from their trance only after Jun Xiaoyao’s figure disappeared out of their line of sight.

The divine lady of a top force who attended the banquet mumbled to herself, “I don’t know how powerful and capable the divine child of the Jun family is, but he’s certainly the best looking and most well-behaved person in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.”

People in the main hall also learned that the divine child of the Jun family had come out of his seclusion.

Shortly after, they heard a calm and clear voice coming from the door.

“Thank you very much for attending my banquet.”

An elegant man dressed in white sauntered into the main hall.

At that moment, the entire venue had fallen into silence.
