Chapter 31: Identity of Sequence Zero Revealed, Jun Wanjie's Dissatisfaction

Coming to his senses, Jun Xiaoyao felt that his public behavior was somewhat inappropriate and released his hold on Jiang Luoli's waist.

Jiang Luoli's small face turned so red it looked as if it might drip blood; she was utterly mortified.

"Wuu..." Jiang Luoli dove directly into Jiang Shengyi's embrace, burying her head like a little ostrich.

As the precious pearl of the Jiang family and an unwed maiden, being treated this way naturally filled her with shame.

Stroking Jiang Luoli's small head, Jiang Shengyi couldn't help but cast a flirtatious, sidelong glance at Jun Xiaoyao.

Her nephew might look as elegant and transcendent as an immortal, but he seemed to have a bit of a wicked streak.

Being glanced at by Jiang Shengyi caused Jun Xiaoyao to take notice of this woman, who was his aunt in name.

"Hmm? That fluctuation... is it truly a先天道胎 (Innate Dao Fetus)?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened as he mused to himself.

Jiang Rou had already told him earlier.

Jiang Luoli was the jewel of the Jiang family, possessing the rare 元灵道体 (Primordial Spirit Physique), which ranked within the top hundred of the three thousand physiques.

As for Jiang Shengyi, she was the Divine Maiden of the Jiang family, possessing the even rarer Innate Dao Fetus.

This kind of physique was actually not much weaker than the Desolate Ancient Holy Body.

"Desolate Ancient Holy Body, Innate Dao Fetus..."

"Rumor has it that in the distant past, there was a Great Emperor who touched the realm of immortality and possessed a supreme physique: the Innate Saint Body Dao Fetus..."

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with shifting thoughts, but he did not dwell on it further.

At that moment, Jun Zhantian stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said, "I thank all the seniors for attending my grandson's banquet."

"Today, at this banquet, our Jun family has one more matter to announce."

As he spoke these words, Jun Zhantian's expression became solemn and formal.

"What is it?"

Seeing Jun Zhantian's serious expression, everyone revealed looks of surprise.

"I presume you all know that our Jun family has ten sequences, each consisting of peerless geniuses. But above the ten sequences, there is one more position..."

Jun Zhantian's words caused the expressions of everyone in the hall to freeze. Then, as if realizing something, their faces suddenly changed.

The two sequences, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang, also stood up abruptly, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.

Jun Wanjie's face grew even more heavy and somber.

"Our Jun family's Divine Son, Jun Xiaoyao, shall be the Zero Sequence of the Jun family, with a status above the ten sequences!"

As the words fell, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock!

Everyone knew exactly what the Zero Sequence meant.

Because the previous generation's Zero Sequence of the Jun family was none other than Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Robed Divine King, Jun Wuhui!

The news announced by Jun Zhantian was like a massive boulder falling into the ocean, stirring up colossal waves.

One could imagine that once this news spread today, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm would be shaken!

After all, the Jun family's Zero Sequence held extraordinary significance.

Barring any accidents, once he grew up, he would become the most core figure and the pillar of the Jun family.

Even the First Sequence would be slightly inferior to the Zero Sequence in terms of status.

"Is my junior brother Xiaoyao already the pre-designated Zero Sequence?" Jun Zhangjian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He had previously thought that after Jun Xiaoyao turned ten, he would likely join the struggle for a sequence.

As it turned out, the boy didn't even need to compete; he had been pre-designated as the Zero Sequence long ago.

Despite his shock, Jun Zhangjian felt no jealousy.

After all, he had personally experienced Jun Xiaoyao's strength; he truly was qualified to be the Zero Sequence.

"I didn't expect the Divine Son to already be the Zero Sequence," Jun Xuehuang's chest heaved, her own surprise not being any less.

Meanwhile, Jun Wanjie's fists were clenched tight, and his eyes seemed to flicker with vast lightning, revealing his inner turmoil.

"On what grounds..." Jun Wanjie thought coldly.

On what grounds could Jun Xiaoyao obtain so easily what he had to go through countless hardships to achieve?

Being a Divine Son was one thing, but now even the supreme status of the Zero Sequence was directly bestowed upon him.

A genius like Jun Wanjie had undergone numerous grueling trials just to compete for a single sequence position, finally standing out among the many geniuses of the Jun family.

Jun Wanjie felt unwilling, indignant, and resentful!

Jun Zhantian's gaze swept across the room. Seeing the expressions of shock mixed with awe, he nodded in satisfaction.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

After the tenth-year banquet, it was time for Jun Xiaoyao to enter the world.

And before he did, the Jun family had to build his momentum.

The status of the Zero Sequence was undoubtedly the fastest way to make Jun Xiaoyao's name known.

"Is he following in his father's footsteps?" Many people's gazes toward Jun Xiaoyao began to shift.

Jun Xiaoyao's father, Jun Wuhui, was the previous Zero Sequence, and now he was becoming the Zero Sequence as well.

The status of Divine Son alone made Jun Xiaoyao incomparably noble.

Now, with the addition of the Zero Sequence status...

With these dual identities stacked together, few would dare to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.

"Brother Xiaoyao is actually the Zero Sequence?"

Jiang Luoli poked her small face out from Jiang Shengyi's embrace and blinked her eyes.

One of the people she admired most was Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Robed Divine King, Jun Wuhui.

Now that Jun Xiaoyao was following in his father's footsteps, it only made him seem more charismatic, as if he were the next White-Robed Divine King.

"But Brother Xiaoyao actually spanked me and called me short, he's so mean..." Jiang Luoli muttered.

Although she was a little sulky with him, she couldn't help but find him truly handsome.

Whether it was strength, status, background, or looks, he was almost peerless in this world.

Jiang Luoli was absolutely unable to escape the "true fragrance" law.

Jiang Rou's eyes held a trace of reminiscence and emotion as she whispered to herself, "Wuhui, do you see? Our child has now become the Zero Sequence..."

Just as all the factions were plunged into shock, a cold voice rang out.

"Elder, I have a question."

Hearing this voice, the expressions of the two sequences, Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang, both changed.

Jun Zhantian also turned his gaze toward the speaker, frowning inwardly.

The speaker was none other than the Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie.

Jun Xiaoyao also looked over, his expression impassive.

The status of the Zero Sequence was something he intended to keep.

If Jun Wanjie was unreasonable, Jun Xiaoyao would not back down.

"What is your question?" Jun Zhantian asked calmly.

"May I ask, has Jun Xiaoyao participated in the sequence competition?" Jun Wanjie asked in a heavy voice.

"He has not," Jun Zhantian replied.

"May I ask, has Jun Xiaoyao made any significant contributions to the family?" Jun Wanjie continued.

"He has not." Jun Zhantian's face darkened.

Jun Xiaoyao had not yet entered the world; how could he have created achievements for the Jun family?

"May I ask, has Jun Xiaoyao passed five gates and slain six generals to claim the sequence position himself?" Jun Wanjie issued three consecutive questions.

"He has not!" Jun Zhantian's voice turned cold.

If someone from another faction had questioned him like this, Jun Zhantian would have slapped them out of the hall long ago.

But unfortunately, the speaker was the Jun family's Fifth Sequence; if he acted against him, the Jun family's reputation would suffer.

"If that is the case, what virtue or ability does Jun Xiaoyao possess to become the Zero Sequence without reason?!"

Jun Wanjie suddenly stood up and questioned sternly!

Violent lightning from a tribulation flickered incessantly in his eyes!

The atmosphere around them fell into a deathly silence!

Even Jun Zhantian was momentarily speechless.

Amidst this dead silence, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, standing with his hands behind his back like a white-robed immortal descending to earth.

"Since you have so many doubts, then I, Jun, shall tell you."

"The Zero Sequence status was bestowed by the Eighteenth Ancestor. The reason he did this is because he trusts me..."

"With me here, why should the Jun family worry about a Great Emperor not emerging!"
