Outside the gate of the Jun family, two groups of people stood against the sky.

The nine-headed lion radiated a brilliant golden light, releasing its splendor.

The qilin, a mythical beast, stepped on purple mist, exuding an extraordinary and powerful aura.

"Xiaoyao, shall we compete again at the Tiandao Tower this time?" Jun Lingcang said.

Though his eyes were covered, his gaze still swept toward the distant void, as if he wished to catch a glimpse of that unparalleled figure in gray.

"Since my cousin is so interested, I can only accompany you to the end," Jun Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Their words seemed peaceful, yet there was a palpable sense of rivalry.

Watching this scene, the elders of the Jun family felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

They understood that due to the issue with Ajiu, Jun Lingcang would undoubtedly have some reservations.

What they feared most was seeing Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Lingcang at odds, even turning against each other.

If the Zero Sequence and the First Sequence became adversaries, it would not bode well for the Jun family.

It could even affect the family's future fortunes.

Fortunately, both of them possessed a certain demeanor and did not disappoint the elders of the Jun family.

The current rivalry was still within a reasonable range.

"This time, I hope our Jun family's outstanding talents can dominate the Tiandao Tower!" one of the elders said boldly.

If their clan's talents could dominate the Tiandao Tower, it would be an immensely gratifying achievement.

As one of the three great families, the Jun family had the confidence to do so.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others set off for the Sacred Spirit Academy, other forces were also making moves.

Some people saw a terrifying golden divine bird soaring within a golden mountain range.

With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a massive storm like clouds descending from the sky!

"Hiss, could it be that the Golden-Winged Peng King of Jialou Sacred Mountain has emerged from seclusion!"

Many cultivators were shocked.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng, also known as Garuda.

And Jialou Sacred Mountain was a top-tier ancient royal clan.

Moreover, this lineage, like the nine-headed lion clan, had a very small population, thus failing to meet the standards of an ancient royal family.

But this did not mean that Jialou Sacred Mountain was weak.

Every outstanding talent that emerged from it possessed the ambition to strike out in all directions.

Among them, the most famous was none other than the Golden-Winged Peng King.

His name was Jin Lie, the most renowned prodigy of the current Jialou Sacred Mountain.

His strength was not at all inferior to the top prodigies of ancient royal families, and he might even surpass them.

At least, prodigies of the caliber of Huang Xuan Yi and Feng Qingling would be quite wary when facing Jin Lie, lacking confidence to contend.

"I have finally emerged from seclusion. This time, I, Jin Lie, will dominate the Tiandao Tower and reign supreme!"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng flapped its wings and shot through the air like a bolt of golden lightning.

……

In the Western Dao State of the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain.

At the entrance of an ancient, natural temple.

"Fa Hai, you are too restless; go take a stroll in the mortal world."

"Your golden body is still a step away from perfection; the cause and effect... lie within the Tiandao Tower."

An old monk with long eyebrows, draped in a cassock, spoke to a young monk with thick brows and large eyes, who had a handsome appearance.

The young monk named Fa Hai replied, "Master, please rest assured. I will not tarnish the name of Little Western Heaven. I will go to the mortal world and widely proclaim the Buddha's teachings of the West."

"Alas, striving for victory is not a virtuous path; take care of yourself," the old monk sighed slightly.

If someone were to witness this scene, they would surely be astonished.

Little Western Heaven is a powerful and ancient tradition in the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain, enduring through the ages.

In the entire immortal domain, there are countless followers gathering faith.

No one knows how deep the foundation of Little Western Heaven truly is.

But it is rumored that Little Western Heaven is connected to the ancient Buddha Emperor.

In contemporary times, Little Western Heaven is extremely low-key, rarely appearing in the world.

The outside world only knows that the most outstanding prodigies of Little Western Heaven are the Buddha Sons and Buddha Daughters.

And the young monk Fa Hai before them is precisely a Buddha Son of Little Western Heaven.

"Master, I take my leave." Fa Hai clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

However, after turning around, a hint of rebelliousness appeared on Fa Hai's face.

"I can finally enter the world. Who shall I enlighten?"

"Let me think; I still lack a mount. Perhaps I should enlighten a nine-headed lion or a Golden-Winged Great Peng."

"And those female benefactors, who have been trapped in the sea of suffering for so long, need me to rescue them."

Fa Hai smiled.

He was exceptionally gifted, effortlessly mastering various Buddhist powers.

Even the supreme laws of Little Western Heaven, the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Sutra, he had cultivated to an extremely profound level.

But Fa Hai's personality did not resemble that of a monk; instead, he seemed more like an ordinary person with impure roots.

Now that he could finally enter the world, Fa Hai naturally would not just take a casual stroll.

As the Buddha Son of Little Western Heaven, it was time for him to showcase his reputation.

……

The Sacred Spirit Academy is located in the Tianling Dao State.

As a long-established academy, its disciples are spread throughout the immortal domain, making it a place of great renown.

With such a formidable network of connections, ordinary forces would not dare to provoke the Sacred Spirit Academy.

Even the immortal forces treat the Sacred Spirit Academy with great respect.

Of course, this does not include the Jun family.

The Sacred Spirit Academy also does not wish to provoke top immortal forces like the Jun family.

That is why the Sacred Spirit Academy previously changed its stance, welcoming Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.

However, the Sacred Spirit Academy's concession does not mean that its disciples would also yield.

Ji Xuan, as the Holy Son of the Sacred Spirit Academy, is a figurehead of sorts.

Yet he was defeated by Jun Xiaoyao, causing his Dao heart to collapse, rendering him utterly useless.

Doesn't this tell the world that the students taught by the Sacred Spirit Academy are of such caliber?

Thus, Jun Xiaoyao indirectly tarnished the reputation of the Sacred Spirit Academy.

Most of the male disciples of the Sacred Spirit Academy harbored hostility toward Jun Xiaoyao.

However, many of the female disciples were watching with interest.

They had heard that the Jun family's divine son possessed a celestial appearance, unmatched in beauty, and was considered the most handsome figure in the immortal domain.

If he truly met their expectations, forgiving him a little would not be out of the question.

At this moment, in a lakeside pavilion, two men and one woman were gathered.

One of the men, dressed in a black and white Dao robe, had eyes that seemed to be one black and one white, exuding a strange Dao rhythm.

He was one of the Holy Sons of the Sacred Spirit Academy, with a powerful background.

"This Jun Xiaoyao, having crippled Brother Ji Xuan, still shamelessly seeks opportunities at the Tiandao Tower. Truly shameless to the extreme."

The other young man, dressed in luxurious attire and exuding an imperial aura, shook his head and said, "Who told him he is the Jun family's divine son? If he is not domineering, who will be?"

"I really don't know what kind of extraordinary person the Jun family's divine son is, to have even the strong Ji Xuan Dao brother defeated and his Dao heart shattered."

The remaining woman, dressed in a floral high-waisted skirt, with hair cascading like a waterfall, looked stunningly beautiful.

Her skin was snow-white and radiant, and her appearance was elegant and exquisite.

She spoke with a hint of curiosity.

Ji Xuan was considered quite strong among their group of Holy Sons and Daughters.

That he would be defeated and have his Dao heart shattered was something she found hard to believe.

"Hua Xiqing, you are a Holy Daughter of our Sacred Spirit Academy; you must not turn your elbows outward," the young man in luxurious attire raised an eyebrow and said.

The young man in the black and white Dao robe smiled coldly and said, "It is not so easy to step through the doors of our Sacred Spirit Academy."

"As long as one is a heavenly prodigy, they will choose to participate in the trials, ascend the ninety-nine steps of the heavenly ladder, ring the ancient bell eighteen times, and finally leap through the Dragon Gate to enter."

"If the illustrious Jun family's divine son were to falter at these three trials, it would be a tremendous embarrassment."

"These three trials are indeed difficult; even when I first entered the Sacred Spirit Academy, I had to expend a great deal of effort just to barely pass," the luxurious young man shook his head.

"Then let us wait for that divine son to arrive," Hua Xiqing said softly.
