The Forbidden First Generation of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, Long Aotian, is quite famous in the Wilderness Celestial Domain.

However, he has always been in seclusion, so no one knows just how strong Long Aotian truly is.

The matter of Mount Asking Dao had long since reached the ears of the prominent figures in the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

Boom!

The entire Ancestral Dragon Nest trembled; it was the anger of the great figures.

The disgraceful defeat of Princess Long Ji was a tremendous blow to the reputation of the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

"That brat from the Jun family is going too far!" a supreme being from the Ancestral Dragon Nest said coldly.

"Our Ancestral Dragon Nest has suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of a junior from the Jun family, and even the Ancient Divine Mountain in the lower realm was flattened by that brat," another prominent figure said with an icy tone.

"Is there really no one who can deal with him? How is Long Aotian doing?"

"He's doing well; he has already fused six supreme dragon essences. As long as he fuses the seventh, he should be able to emerge from seclusion."

"Very good. It seems he should be able to catch up with the opening of the Ancient Celestial World."

"Perhaps within the Ancient Celestial World, we can have Long Aotian devise a plan to eliminate that brat from the Jun family."

"Exactly. Additionally, we need to keep a backup plan, such as collaborating with the Wan Phoenix Spirit Mountain."

"Are you suggesting... the legendary Dragon Phoenix Body that is said to be impossible to be born?"

Within the Ancestral Dragon Nest, many divine thoughts were exchanging.

The Dragon Phoenix Body is a physique that exists only in legends, a terrifying constitution that combines the bloodlines of the Ancestral Dragon and the True Phoenix.

If such a physique were to be born, it would overshadow an entire era.

Clearly, in order to deal with Jun Xiaoyao, the Ancestral Dragon Nest had made up its mind to cultivate a Dragon Phoenix Body.

"By the way, shouldn't we also prepare to initiate that plan?"

"You mean the Slay Jun Plan?"

"That's right."

"There's no rush on that; we need to make thorough preparations," a supreme being from the Ancestral Dragon Nest said gravely.

The Slay Jun Plan, as the name suggests, is a plan to eliminate the Jun family.

If this plan were to be fully implemented, it would mark the beginning of an immortal war, drawing countless forces into the fray.

Even the Ancestral Dragon Nest would not dare to easily initiate the Slay Jun Plan without complete preparations.

"Hmph, the Jun family won't be able to enjoy their success for long!" a prominent figure from the Ancestral Dragon Nest snorted coldly.

...

On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao and a group of people had also returned to the Jun family.

As soon as they arrived at the Jun family's mountain gate, Jun Xiaoyao noticed a sea of heads, all dark and crowded.

These were all Jun family members who had come to welcome Jun Xiaoyao.

Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao's reputation in the Jun family had reached its peak.

In the future, even if Jun Xiaoyao wanted to become the head of the Jun family directly, it was likely that no one would oppose him.

"Welcome, Divine Son!"

Thousands of Jun family members present all bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.

The respect and fervor in their attitude left Jun Wushuang, Jun Mulan, and others speechless.

Their status was also quite high, being among the top three lineages, they were respected wherever they went within the Jun family.

But compared to Jun Xiaoyao, their reputation was nothing.

"Sigh, there's no need to compare anymore," Jun Wushuang said with a bitter smile.

His original goal was to surpass Jun Lingcang, but now, Jun Xiaoyao's performance made him feel unworthy to even challenge him.

"Even I have to admit defeat; this little guy is just too monstrous," Jun Mulan said, pouting slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Jun Xiaoyao's arrival had truly set the Jun family ablaze with excitement.

His achievements in subduing ancient freaks, stepping on Princess Long Ji, and seizing the Emperor's weapon made him an object of fervent admiration among the younger generation of the Jun family.

Jun Xiaoyao himself preferred peace and quiet; after a brief social engagement, he returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Some elders of the Jun family decided to hold a grand feast for three days to celebrate Jun Xiaoyao's victorious return.

It could be said that the Jun family was in a state of family-wide celebration.

After returning to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao finally found some peace.

His mother, Jiang Rou, appeared and asked about his well-being.

"Xiaoyao, you've been in the lower realm for so long; I was so worried about you," Jiang Rou said.

"Mother, you know my abilities; there's nothing to worry about," Jun Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

"That's right, Mother. Luo Li has been protecting Brother Xiaoyao all along; how could anything happen to him?" Jiang Luoli, the little girl, chimed in, proudly patting her chest.

Jiang Rou chuckled, her eyes filled with affection.

This adorable girl, Jiang Luoli, truly knew how to win her heart.

"What are you calling me?" Jun Xiaoyao said, speechless.

Has she gotten so used to calling her 'Mother'?

"Hehe..." Jiang Luoli scratched her head shyly, looking innocent.

Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

Is she trying to charm her way through?

Meanwhile, the stunning Xue Yi, like a snow lotus, looked at Jiang Luoli playing around with Jun Xiaoyao, hearing her call him 'Mother.'

She felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

Clearly, she had already decided to let go, but why did it feel like something was missing?

Out of the corner of his eye, Jun Xiaoyao noticed Jiang Shengyi's slightly melancholic expression and smiled, "Sister Shengyi, it's been a while, hasn't it?"

"It has been," Jiang Shengyi replied softly, then turned to speak with Jiang Rou.

"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Why does it feel like Jiang Shengyi's attitude towards him has become somewhat distant?

Previously, Jiang Shengyi had never shown him such a sense of distance.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head lightly, not saying anything.

He didn't mind much; everyone has their own thoughts. If Jiang Shengyi didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn't force it.

At this moment, Jun Wanjie approached Jun Xiaoyao and solemnly bowed.

"Thank you, Young Master, for allowing me to reunite with my sister."

Beside him stood Jun Ying'er, who also bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.

If it weren't for Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Wanjie would not know how long it would take to reunite with Jun Ying'er.

"No need to be polite; this is what I promised you," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

Jun Wanjie and Jun Ying'er were both deeply grateful to Jun Xiaoyao, their resolve to follow him growing stronger.

Soon after, Jun Zhantian also arrived.

The family gathered joyfully for a simple family feast.

Afterward, Jun Zhantian informed Jun Xiaoyao that the family hoped he could give a martial arts lecture to the younger generation in a few days.

Of course, this was Jun Zhantian's suggestion, aimed at firmly establishing Jun Xiaoyao's reputation within the Jun family.

Now, even the reputation of the first lineage, Jun Lingcang, was not as great as Jun Xiaoyao's.

Jun Xiaoyao naturally agreed without hesitation.

After a hearty meal, Jun Zhantian called Jun Xiaoyao aside.

He asked him if he had found his own path.

Jun Xiaoyao had no secrets from his grandfather and nodded directly.

"Good... good. If Wuhui sees this, he will surely be proud of you," Jun Zhantian said.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

When he previously opened the Origin of the Divine, he had vaguely sensed a powerful aura emanating from his bloodline.

That aura was enough to make even supreme beings retreat.

"Could it be my father?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

Jun Zhantian then solemnly said to Jun Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, have you ever heard the saying, 'When the Ancient Celestial appears, the path to the Emperor opens'?"

"When the Ancient Celestial appears, the path to the Emperor opens?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured, a glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"That's right. The Ancient Celestial refers to the Ancient Celestial World, a place filled with countless opportunities, even containing the chance to become a Saint!"

Just as Jun Zhantian's words fell, a voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. A new sign-in location has been refreshed. Please sign in at the Ancient Celestial World!"
