Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: The Lair of Zulong’s Hope. Long Aotian and Ye Xingyun’s Ambition.

Jun Xiaoyao’s Ten Years Old banquet came to an end, with both good and bad memories being formed.

While the Suzerains, Elders, and Young Geniuses of the various major forces left the Jun Residence, their faces were stuck with expressions of amazement and shock.

What they saw at the Jun Residence this time had fully shocked them.

It was especially because of the divine child of the Jun family. He was essentially the Supreme Emperor who possessed an invincible temperament, the only difference being that Jun Xiaoyao was still a child.

Whether it was the Ye Family’s Kingly Body of Stars or the Dragon Child of the Lair of Zulong, anyone who dared to face Jun Xiaoyao would end up like soft persimmons that he could knead however he pleased.

When some of the young geniuses compared themselves to the Jun Family’s Divine Child, they couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment.

Having the Sacred Body of the ancients and the Bones of Supremacy, Jun Xiaoyao’s gifts couldn’t be described as simply “abnormal”. He practically had the bearings of a natural-born emperor.

Jun Xiaoyao’s very existence left no room for others to even stand on their own in this world.

Even some of the elders were left sighing. With the speed at which Jun Xiaoyao’s cultivation was progressing, wouldn’t he surpass them in a few years?

Aside from Jun Xiaoyao, both Jun Zhanjian and Jun Xuefeng had certainly performed well. They easily killed the geniuses of Far ancient imperial families.

Naturally, the one who shocked them the most never showed himself at all during the event: the Jun Family’s Eighteenth Ancestor

He was a grand patriarch who had been buried in the Jun Family’s Ancestral Temple for countless years.

He slaughtered a Destined Supreme from the Lair of Zulong in three slashes, leaving several people in great astonishment.

Everyone was aware that after this coming of age banquet, turbulence would once again dawn upon the Huangtian Mystic Realm after its long period of peace.

Not long after the Jun family’s banquet ended…

Far away in the state of Hong, a rageful roar from a dragon shook the realm from inside the Lair of Zulong’s fortress, causing the stars to fall from the sky.

Everyone across the state of Hong sensed a magnificent and deterring aura that seemed like an impending apocalypse.

one person living in Hong State said with a pale face, “It is the Lair of Zulong’s Highest Supreme. Why is he so angry?”

The news of the events that took place at the Jun Residence took some time to reach Hong state. Hence, they were still oblivious about what had happened.

Within the Lair of Zulong, many former masters were conversing with one another and imparting their divine consciousness.

“Calm down. What’s the point of being so furious? Are you thinking about attacking the Jun Residence?”

“That piece of scum from the Jun Family! How dare he murder my Dragon Child! He deserves to die for what he did!”

“What about Jun Shiba? How dare he attack Youlong! Does he fear the Lair of Zulong at all?”

“Jun Shiba may be the Eighteenth Ancestor, but he is a mad man. Killing him will be very difficult…”

Another master of the Lair of Zulong imparted his divine consciousness. “Should we tell Aotian about this?”

“That won’t be necessary. Long Aotian is currently in seclusion to refine his fifth Dragon Essence. By the time he is done refining his seventh Dragon Essence, he will be able to stand above the rest of the younger generation of the Mystic Realm as long as he also has the Blood of the King of Dragons. He will be able to slaughter even the Divine Child of the Jun Family effortlessly!”

“Very well then. I shall wait for the day when Aotian kills the Jun Family’s Divine Child!”

“Don’t forget the Jun Family, as well. They deserve to have a taste of their own medicine!”

…

On the other side of the realm, a divine bird flew amid the void, pulling a carriage along with it.

Within the carriage, a young man in a blue shirt who had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes woke up in a daze.

It was Ye Xingyun.

“Urgh… it hurts…”

As soon as Ye Xingyun moved his body, he felt as if he was about to fall apart. He was in so much pain that his complexion turned pale.

Beside him, Uncle Fu said, “You’re awake, young master,”

“I…” Ye Xingyun was briefly confused before he finally recalled everything that happened at the banquet.

He felt deeply humiliated by the events.

As the genius of the Ye Family, when had Ye Xingyun ever been this humiliated?

There was also the fact that he had embarrassed himself before the girl he loved.

“Jun Xiaoyao…” Ye Xingyun gritted his teeth and clenched his fist so hard that even the color of his bones showed through his skin.

“Young Master, you shouldn’t provoke the Jun Family’s Divine Child. I have been informed that the Divine Child not only has the Sacred Body of the Ancients, but he was also born with the Bones of Supremacy. He even managed to slaughter the Dragon Child of the Lair of Zulong was slaughtered with ease!” Uncle Fu exclaimed.

“What? Did something like that truly happen!?” Ye Xingyun was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

When he was sparring against Jun Xiaoyao, he was actually concealing his powers to prevent the Bones of Supremacy from being unleashed.

Ye Xingyun felt even more humiliated at that thought. Jun Xiaoyao was insignificant to him.

“Dammit…” Ye Xingyun felt irritated and humiliated.

All of a sudden, a vague memory flashed through his mind.

He seemingly caught a glimpse of a magnificent Zodiac Palace, where a glorious figure draped in the cosmos itself stood with his back faced against him.

“What is this? Is this a dream or…?” Ye Xingyun muttered to himself.

He knew that reincarnations of Saints and even Supreme Emperor’s existed in this world.

Those reincarnated geniuses were the truly overpowered existences whose potential was way above that of ordinary geniuses.

For instance, it was said that the Ye Family’s Taboo Genius Ye Guchen was the reincarnation of the Far Ancient Sword Demon, Dugu Wubai.

In historical records, the Sword Demon had once slaughtered a Destined Emperor in a fierce battle using the rapier that was known as the Imperial Slaughterer.

Ye Xingyun couldn’t help but wonder to himself, ‘Could I be the reincarnation of a master like Ye Guchen was? Was that Zodiac Palace a Treasure of Destiny that is left for me?”

This seemed very likely to be the case.

Over time, he would remember even more memories. By then, it would become possible for him to find that Zodiac Palace and inherit the fate of the former master.

“Jun Xiaoyao, every dog has its day. When I awaken to my memories, I swear I’ll rise above you.”

“Don’t forget Jiang Luoli. I will let you understand who exactly is the best match for you!”

Ye Xingyun was once again invigorated by his own enthusiasm. He felt as if he was about to take off!

…

At the Jun family’s property…

Even after the banquet was over, Jun Xiaoyao was being frantically harassed by Jiang Luoli.

It was obviously time for her to return to the Jiang Family, but Jiang Luoli was reluctant to leave.

To Jun Xiaoyao, the girl that Ye Xingyun dreamed of winning over was nothing more than a dog skin plaster that simply refused to come off

“Xiaoyao, do you a maid that serves you tea?”

“I have Linglong.”

“Xiaoyao, how about one that does your laundry?”

“I have Linglong.”

“Xiaoyao, do you have one that warms up your bed?”

“I have Linglo… what are you talking about?” Jun Xiaoyao forced out a dry cough in annoyance.

Even Jiang Rou ended up starting to pressure him into getting married.

“Mother, I still have to meet the Eighteenth Ancestor. I will take my leave.” Unable to stand the harassment and clamoring from the group of women, he simply fell back and fled the scene.

“Hmph! I’m never gonna give up on you, Xiaoyao!” Jiang Luoli clenched her fist and said. At that moment, she looked like nothing more than a little fangirl.

Jun Xiaoyao had arrived at the deepest part of the Jun Residence, where he saw the Eighteenth Ancestor.

The Eighteenth Ancestor was currently sitting in the air with his legs crossed, wearing a gray robe to match his silvery-white hair.

Around him was a horrible image of a decaying cosmos, fading life, collapsing universe, and galaxies that were turned upside down.

His aura was so unbelievably strong that it would make people feel like they were facing God.

No wonder he could kill a Destined Supreme with three slashes.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed to himself. None of the Jun family’s grand patriarchs were simple beings.

There was also the fact that 17 other figures within the Jun Family were as powerful as Eighteenth Ancestor!

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao’s arrival, a rare smile appeared on Eighteenth Ancestor’s face that was old and worn.

“Well done!” said Eighteenth Ancestor.

It was obvious that he was praising Jun Xiaoyao’s performance during the banquet.

Along with his victory over Ye Xingyun, tearing the Lair of Zulong’s Dragon Child apart with his bare hands had brought the Jun family some honor.

Jun Xiaoyao held his fist together and calmly said, “Why have you summoned me, great one?”

In the presence of the Eighteenth Ancestor, even some of the clan elders would feel somewhat nervous and behave with extra caution.

On the other hand, Jun Xiaoyao remained so extremely calm that seemed natural for him.

This greatly satisfied the Eighteenth Ancestor upon seeing him.

With the Sacred Body of the Ancients and the Bones of Supremacy, there was nothing more to say about his talents.

The most unusual thing was about Jun Xiaoyao was his exceptionally calm disposition. He didn’t seem like a ten-year-old boy at all.

“Do you wish to learn the Sword Chant of the Immortal Slayer?” the Eighteenth Ancestor said with a faint smile.

Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes glimmered.
