The battle has temporarily come to a close.

Jun Lingcang did not use his heavy pupil. Even if Princess Longji suppressed him, she would be criticized for taking advantage of him.

Thus, Princess Longji was also reluctant to exert herself fully.

Jun Lingcang did not expect Princess Longji's strength to be so formidable.

His heavy pupil was indeed at a critical stage of transformation and was not suitable for use.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was at a disadvantage was undeniable.

Jun Lingcang's expression was gloomy; this was not the outcome he had imagined.

He said nothing and left directly.

"Lord Lingcang..." Jun Xiyu furrowed her brows.

She did not expect that the invincible Jun Lingcang in her eyes would also have moments of defeat.

"Wait, Lord Lingcang hasn't summoned his heavy pupil yet; otherwise, the outcome would be uncertain. Moreover, even if the Son of God came, he might not be able to handle Princess Longji," Jun Xiyu pondered.

She did not think Jun Lingcang was weak.

Rather, Princess Longji was too strong.

Seeing the battle conclude, everyone from various factions sighed in disappointment.

No one expected such an inconclusive result.

However, from this battle, it was evident that even without exerting her full strength, Princess Longji could easily deal with the top young prodigies of this generation.

Of course, this was partly because Jun Lingcang had not used his heavy pupil; otherwise, the result would have been hard to predict.

But regardless, Princess Longji's dominance was beyond doubt.

Looking across the vast Celestial Realm, there were probably very few young prodigies qualified to challenge her.

This battle was also beneficial for the Jun family.

No one dared to call the Jun family a turtle hiding its head anymore.

Jun Lingcang's performance was also quite impressive; he managed to hold his ground against Princess Longji for so long without using his trump card.

The strength he displayed was admirable.

Although no one criticized the Jun family anymore.

Some with ulterior motives began to target Jun Xiaoyao again.

After all, the opponent designated by Princess Longji was Jun Xiaoyao.

He did not appear, yet Jun Lingcang did.

This inevitably raised suspicions; could it be that Jun Xiaoyao was truly afraid?

Some also speculated that Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion or simply looked down on the situation.

After all, there was the precedent of the Champion Marquis.

Previously, when the Champion Marquis issued a challenge, Jun Xiaoyao ignored it, and at that time, some people criticized him, saying he was scared.

What was the result?

Those slanderers were thoroughly slapped in the face.

So this time, there were not many who criticized Jun Xiaoyao.

After this highly anticipated battle concluded, everyone was even more eager to see Jun Xiaoyao face off against Princess Longji.

...

In the Jun family, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Jun Xiaoyao had been in seclusion, oblivious to the outside world.

Jun Zhantian had also instructed that no one was to disturb Jun Xiaoyao.

During this time, Jun Xiaoyao's realm effortlessly broke through to the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, as simple as drinking water.

In fact, he could easily break through to the Harmonization Realm or even the Nirvana Realm without much difficulty.

But Jun Xiaoyao did not do so.

Because reaching the Harmonization Realm required finding a spiritual seed or immortal seed that resonated with him.

This was crucial for his future path, so Jun Xiaoyao did not rush to break through.

He was also using the celestial source to cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Bone.

After the Jun family learned that Jun Xiaoyao needed celestial sources, they allocated several hundred celestial sources to him.

Having been in seclusion for this long, Jun Xiaoyao consumed all the celestial sources, and the number of Great Luo Immortal Bones he obtained reached forty pieces.

Now, both of his arms were infused with Great Luo Immortal Bones, and with a casual wave, he could unleash boundless power.

Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Elephant Suppression Technique had not fallen behind.

With the help of celestial sources and various cultivation materials, among the hundred thousand giant elephant particles in his body, ten thousand had already transformed into dragon elephant particles.

Each dragon elephant particle represented a hundred thousand pounds of strength, ten times that of giant elephant particles.

This meant that these ten thousand dragon elephant particles had increased Jun Xiaoyao's strength by nine hundred million pounds!

Now, Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Elephant Suppression Technique could unleash nineteen billion pounds of divine power.

This was simply terrifying; having only transformed ten thousand dragon elephant particles, Jun Xiaoyao's strength had nearly doubled!

"Nineteen billion pounds of strength; if that Ji Xuan had clashed with me using the Saint King's hand bone, he would have been blown apart," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

He certainly had not forgotten about the Saint King's hand bone.

He had asked an elder skilled in forging within the clan to craft the Saint King's hand bone into a pair of artifact gloves.

As for how the final product turned out, Jun Xiaoyao did not need to worry.

Those elders took his request very seriously and he believed they would not disappoint him.

Jun Xiaoyao's seclusion also had another purpose: to awaken the manifestation of the Sacred Body.

After such a long period of seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao successfully comprehended a second manifestation of the Sacred Body.

He believed this manifestation would surely surprise his opponents.

Lastly, there was the Fallen Sacred Body.

Before entering seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao had specifically asked Jun Zhantian and others to check the Fallen Sacred Body, and after confirming there were no other strange issues, he finally felt at ease.

Jun Xiaoyao also attempted to divide a portion of his true spirit's power to inhabit the divine palace of the Fallen Sacred Body.

At first, it was quite challenging, and he often failed.

Later on, Jun Xiaoyao was able to make the Fallen Sacred Body perform simple movements for short periods.

However, perhaps due to the ominous nature of the Fallen Sacred Body itself, Jun Xiaoyao could not control it for extended periods using his true spirit.

Moreover, he could not fully unleash the true power of the Fallen Sacred Body.

But that was fine; the Fallen Sacred Body still held immeasurable value for Jun Xiaoyao and might play a significant role in the future.

"It's about time to exit seclusion," Jun Xiaoyao said as he stood up.

If it weren't necessary, he truly did not want to be in seclusion.

As Jun Xiaoyao stepped out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, he was slightly taken aback.

He discovered that a large crowd had gathered outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, all young juniors of the Jun family.

Jun Linglong, Jun Zhangjian, and others were also at the front.

"Son of God!"

"The Son of God has finally exited seclusion!"

Upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao appear, Jun Zhangjian and the others were unable to contain their excitement.

The surrounding Jun family members also clenched their fists, revealing expressions of joy and excitement.

"What's going on?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

He had only been in seclusion for a short time; why did these people seem as if they hadn't seen him in ages, all so excited?

"Son of God, that ancient freak from the Ancestral Dragon Nest is too arrogant!"

"Exactly, even Lord Lingcang was at a disadvantage when he made his move."

The many Jun family members spoke in a flurry.

In the end, it was still Jun Zhangjian who detailed the events that had transpired recently to Jun Xiaoyao.

"I see, so much has happened while I was in seclusion," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

The return of the First Sequence, the emergence of the ancient freak from the Ancestral Dragon Nest, and the two had even fought a battle.

However, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained as calm as ever.

He said lightly, "It's just a female loach; why are you all so worked up?"

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, everyone was left speechless.

Jun Xiaoyao referred to Princess Longji from the Ancestral Dragon Nest as a female loach?
