Chapter 7: As the Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress and slay all enemies in this world!

“You want to follow me?” Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

He truly hadn’t guessed that Jun Linglong would have such an idea.

Becoming a follower was a very common practice.

Among the ten sequences of the Jun family, every sequence had a group of extraordinary followers behind them.

They were either talented disciples from within the Jun family or talents recruited and tamed from the outside world.

In short, every peerless figure would cultivate followers, who would eventually become a significant force.

Even his father, Jun Wuhui, once had a group of followers known to the world as the Eight Divisions of the God King. Each one of them could stand on their own and were considered peerless heroes.

It wasn’t that Jun Xiaoyao hadn’t considered it, but he was only three years old; he was in no rush to recruit followers, so he hadn’t paid it any mind.

“Why?” Jun Xiaoyao asked curiously.

Was it just because he had broken through the Eternal Extreme Realm?

“A hunch,” Jun Linglong said, her beautiful eyes deep and profound.

She couldn’t easily speak of that glimpse into the future, as revealing it might very well invite some immense karma.

Jun Linglong was not yet capable of bearing such consequences.

“A hunch?” Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.

He also sensed that Jun Linglong likely knew something but chose not to say it explicitly.

However, he had occasionally heard things about Jun Linglong.

Born with a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, she was sharp-witted and intelligent, grasping any cultivation technique or martial art faster than others.

If she didn’t fall, she was destined to become a Saint in the future.

Such a heaven-gifted girl would be the center of attention wherever she went; she was certainly qualified to follow Jun Xiaoyao.

“Right now, Grandfather takes care of my daily life. Aside from lecturing me on the Dao, he just nags me about growing up and expanding the family line for the Jun family…” Jun Xiaoyao thought helplessly.

Although he only looked three years old, his mind had long since matured. Dealing with an old codger all day, even if it was his own grandfather, was quite tedious.

“Having Jun Linglong as a maid to look after my daily needs wouldn’t be bad,” Jun Xiaoyao mused.

He hadn’t thought about cultivating Jun Linglong or anything of the sort, but if she were to serve as a maid, he could accept that.

If outsiders knew Jun Xiaoyao’s thoughts, they would surely have the urge to beat him to death.

To actually want a heaven-gifted girl, who was the center of everyone’s attention, to be a maid?

One must know that even a sequence talent like Jun Zhangjian only wanted to win over Jun Linglong to be a cultivation partner.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak, a woman’s voice rang out.

“Jun Linglong, you actually took the initiative to follow someone else?”

The person questioning her was none other than Lan Qingya.

She dared not offend Jun Xiaoyao, so she could only aim her words at Jun Linglong.

“What of it?” Jun Linglong said indifferently.

She might feel nervous and apprehensive in front of Jun Xiaoyao, but she had no such reservations toward Lan Qingya.

“Young Master Zhangjian personally spoke of wanting to recruit you, yet you refused him. Now, you take the initiative to follow someone else. Where does that leave Young Master Zhangjian’s face?” Lan Qingya said with an ugly expression.

Wasn’t this act by Jun Linglong a blatant slap in the face to Jun Zhangjian?

“Jun Zhangjian is very outstanding, but the person I, Jun Linglong, follow will be one who suppresses an entire era!” Jun Linglong’s tone carried a hint of fanaticism.

“Heh… Suppresses an entire era? Are you implying it’s him?” Lan Qingya said subconsciously, speaking without restraint.

“Hmph, where did this ill-mannered thing come from!”

Before Jun Xiaoyao could say anything, Jun Zhantian’s eyebrows shot up, and he flicked his sleeve!

*Pfft!*

Lan Qingya’s delicate body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

This was only because Jun Zhantian, mindful of his status, couldn’t be bothered to kill Lan Qingya.

“If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’d like to spar with Cousin Zhangjian. As for you, get lost…” Jun Xiaoyao said flatly.

He couldn’t even be bothered to make a move against such a minor character.

Lan Qingya’s face turned deathly pale. She looked at Jun Linglong, a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, then turned and left.

Jun Linglong didn’t care; instead, her gaze remained fixed on Jun Xiaoyao, a hint of pitiable vulnerability appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Had it been any other man, he would have likely agreed impatiently.

After pondering for a moment, Jun Xiaoyao asked, “Do you know how to serve people?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

A dignified female talent of the Jun family—when had she ever served anyone?

Jun Linglong was also taken aback, but she nodded subconsciously.

She had to seize this opportunity.

“Good, then I agree,” Jun Xiaoyao said quite straightforwardly.

At this, Jun Linglong and those around them finally reacted.

So, Jun Xiaoyao wasn’t picking a follower; he was picking a maid.

For a moment, all the male talents present looked on with envy and jealousy.

Having Jun Linglong as a maid was not something just anyone could achieve.

Jun Linglong herself was dazed for a moment. Had she, a dignified heaven-gifted girl, really become a maid?

But once she thought of that glimpse into the future, a look of determination appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She parted her jade lips and asked, “Since the Divine Child has asked so much, may Linglong also ask a question?”

“What question?” Jun Xiaoyao said.

“If the Divine Child becomes the Heavenly Emperor in the future, what then?” After asking, Jun Linglong stared intently at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a faint smile. “It’s simple…”

“When I am the Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress all enemies in the world!”

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking, thunder exploded beyond the heavens, and the winds and clouds of the firmament shook!

His words carried the power of law, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

Everyone wore expressions of horror; they had never seen such a scene before.

Jun Zhantian also took a deep breath, his gaze incredibly complex.

“Wuhui, your child is truly just like you were back then, filled with boundless ambition…”

Jun Zhantian knew that this single sentence represented a great karma that had now fallen upon Jun Xiaoyao.

At the very moment Jun Xiaoyao spoke those words

In a forbidden zone of life in the Immortal Domain, an incredibly ancient and hoarse voice emerged.

“The Jun family’s current generation has quite the ambition, heh…”

Elsewhere, in an ancient spirit mountain where divine phoenixes danced and true phoenixes circled, a cold, mocking laugh echoed.

“Suppress all enemies in the world? Heh… has the descendant of Jun Wuhui become this arrogant?”

In an ancient nest where dragon veins converged, a cold voice also spoke.

“The Imperial Path will appear in this lifetime. My clan’s Long Aotian and others will make the Jun family and other ancient clans understand what it means to have talents bleed and face utter desolation!”

Jun Xiaoyao likely never expected that a casual remark would cause such a stir.

When he came back to his senses, he found Jun Linglong’s gaze incredibly bright, staring fixedly at him.

“What is it?” Jun Xiaoyao touched his face.

“Linglong is willing to follow by the Divine Child’s side!” Jun Linglong had made up her mind completely, with no more wavering.

From that one sentence, Jun Linglong understood a great deal.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded; the harvest this time was complete.

He had signed in to obtain the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force, broken the Eternal Extreme Realm, received the Heavenly Dao reward, and gained the Chaos God Grinding Meditation.

He had even received three immortal divine medicines gifted by the Eighteenth Ancestor.

Finally, he had even recruited a blonde girl as a maid; it could be said that his merits were fulfilled.
