Chapter 26: A man as elegant as jade, a divine son unparalleled in the world!

One can imagine that the only entities capable of making the expressions of two Jun Family Sequence members turn solemn would be even stronger Sequences.

Walking into the great hall was a young man clad in silver battle armor.

He possessed a square countenance and an arrogant, peerless temperament. Intersecting scars on his cheeks added a touch of coldness to his appearance.

The young man's eyes were like two lakes of lightning; with every blink, lightning bolts erupted, and the profound principles of thunder manifested around him.

"It's actually him!"

"I didn't expect him to come as well!"

Seeing this young man, the geniuses from many great powers all wore solemn expressions.

Even Ye Xingyun's eyes turned grave as he said, "He actually came too—the Jun Family's Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie."

Jun Wanjie was undoubtedly a legendary genius.

Born from a collateral branch of the Jun Family, his status was not high, and he had endured countless hardships and cold stares.

Generally, members of the Jun Family's collateral branches were dispatched to various Dao Provinces upon reaching adulthood to manage the family's industries.

Jun Wanjie had originally been one of them.

That was until he unexpectedly obtained a Supreme Law: the inheritance of the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Art.

Because of this, Jun Wanjie also awakened a top-tier physique he hadn't even realized he possessed—the Thunder Tribulation War Body!

Among the three thousand physiques, the Thunder Tribulation War Body could rank within the top three hundred, even among the top-tier physiques, possessing extremely powerful combat strength.

Consequently, Jun Wanjie had forcefully ascended to become the Jun Family's Fifth Sequence.

Although the ten major Sequences of the Jun Family were all exceptional talents, there were still certain gaps in strength between them.

Being able to rank in the top five among the ten Sequences was sufficient proof of Jun Wanjie's formidable strength.

However, his arrival caused both Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang to frown deeply.

The reason was simple: perhaps because Jun Wanjie was born of a collateral branch and had suffered cold treatment since childhood.

His personality was extremely arrogant and domineering, and his relationship with the other Sequences was not particularly good.

"With his personality, it's quite rare for him to actually attend the tenth birthday banquet of a descendant of the Xiaoyao Clan," Jun Zhangjian murmured, clearly not fond of Jun Wanjie either.

"Perhaps he wants to witness the Divine Son's strength. After all, in the future, the Divine Son is very likely to join the top ten Sequences," Jun Xuehuang speculated.

Even now, they did not know that Jun Xiaoyao had actually been internally designated as the Zero Sequence long ago.

Upon his arrival, Jun Wanjie directly selected a seat and sat alone; no one around him dared to approach.

As the three Jun Family Sequences arrived, the atmosphere in the entire hall grew increasingly heated.

At that moment, several powerful auras descended. The people from various great powers and orthodoxies all felt their hearts tremble and turned their gazes toward the entrance.

A group of Jun Family elders arrived, each possessing a peak momentum that inspired awe and fear.

Jiang Rou, Jun Xiaoyao's mother, also arrived.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to attend my grandson's tenth birthday banquet. This old man thanks you all," said the golden-robed elder in the center, Jun Zhantian, as he cupped his hands.

"You are too polite!"

"It is our honor to be able to catch a glimpse of the Divine Son's true visage!" Everyone present smiled and returned the gesture.

An elder from an orthodox lineage said hesitantly, "May I ask where the Divine Son is currently located?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people pricked up their ears.

The banquet had already begun, yet the protagonist had not yet appeared, which was somewhat improper.

Furthermore, a large part of why these people had come was to see the true face of the Jun Family's Divine Son.

"My apologies, everyone. My grandson has been in seclusion and has not emerged yet, but it should be soon..."

Just as Jun Zhantian's voice fell.

A sudden roar and tremor erupted from deep within the Jun Family's Emperor Palace.

Above the nine heavens, thunder surged, and ten thousand rays of auspicious light and colorful clouds cascaded down.

"What kind of vision is that!"

"It seems someone is breaking through a realm. Is it the Divine Son?"

"But isn't this aura of breakthrough a bit too terrifying?"

The many experts from various powers within the hall were all dumbfounded by the fluctuations of that aura, taking deep breaths of shock.

The Jun Family's Divine Son was, at most, only ten years old.

Boom!

In the distance, the Emperor Palace erupted with brilliant light, casting ten thousand rays of golden radiance.

Vaguely, it seemed as if the phantom of an Ancient Divine Elephant appeared, suppressing the nine heavens and ten lands!

"What kind of cultivation technique is that? It actually makes me feel a sense of trepidation..."

Feeling the pressure of that Ancient Divine Elephant, Ye Xingyun's expression changed slightly.

He was quite arrogant, possessing the Star King Physique and extraordinary talent sufficient to suppress all directions.

Yet, that Ancient Divine Elephant actually gave even Ye Xingyun a sense of dread.

This caused Ye Xingyun to frown; he did not like this feeling.

While the guests were in shock.

A giant hand appeared in the distant sky, pressing down from the firmament and isolating all the visions, preventing outsiders from peering in.

"That hand... could it be... a Supreme..."

Seeing the giant hand casually wiping away the visions, the experts from the various powers present swallowed hard in fear.

The person who made that move was, without a doubt, a Supreme powerhouse.

"Could it be the Jun Family's Eighteenth Ancestor?" some speculated in their hearts.

Just as the various powers were making all sorts of guesses due to those visions.

The gates of the Emperor Palace were finally opened.

Amidst a burst of dazzling light, a peerless figure in white slowly emerged.

At this moment, countless gazes between heaven and earth converged like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, falling upon the figure stepping out of the Emperor Palace.

It was a slender youth, shrouded in a hazy celestial glow, dressed in white as pure as snow, looking like a banished immortal who had not fallen into the mortal dust.

Every strand of his hair shimmered with crystalline light, and his body seemed like the finest celestial jade, containing divine radiance.

His features were shrouded in a vague celestial mist, yet they could still be faintly seen.

His features were naturally divine and elegant, so handsome that it gave people an unrealistic feeling.

It made one wonder at first glance.

Is this a human?

Or an immortal who accidentally fell into the mortal realm?

In this moment, heaven and earth fell silent.

Many women even seemed to stop breathing.

Even some Jun Family maidens who had seen Jun Xiaoyao before felt a sense of suffocation.

After a year of seclusion, Jun Xiaoyao's temperament had sublimated, becoming even more profound.

"Like a gentleman of jade, the Divine Son is peerless in this world..."

A Jun Family girl murmured these words as if she were entranced, almost dazed.

Meanwhile, looking at the sky full of gazes, Jun Xiaoyao felt a slight sense of surprise.

"Is it already time for my tenth birthday banquet?"

Jun Xiaoyao hadn't expected that a year of seclusion would pass in the blink of an eye.

Now, his strength had sublimated once again, reaching the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the True Spirit Realm.

This far exceeded his original goal for breaking through to the True Spirit Realm, representing an over-achievement of his task.

It could be said that looking across the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, one could hardly find anyone who reached the Ninth Heaven of the True Spirit Realm at the age of ten throughout history.

"Divine Son, the banquet has already begun."

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao emerge from seclusion, Jun Linglong, who had been waiting outside the palace, stepped forward to speak.

As for Bai Yu'er, she had already returned to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

"Mhm, let's go to the great hall first." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and walked through the air, as if an immortal gliding through the sky.

It wasn't until Jun Xiaoyao's figure had receded that the attentive gazes finally snapped back to reality.

"I do not know how strong the Jun Family's Divine Son is, but in terms of appearance and temperament, he is undoubtedly the number one in the Immortal Domain," a saintess from a great power attending the banquet murmured to herself infatuatedly.

At this moment, inside the main hall, many people also learned that the Jun Family's Divine Son had emerged from seclusion.

A moment later, a calm and gentle voice drifted from the entrance of the hall.

"Thank you all for coming to attend my banquet."

As the voice fell, an otherworldly figure dressed in snow-white robes leisurely walked into the hall.

All clamor ceased at that moment...
