Starting by signing in with the Desolate Ancient Holy Body
Chapter 25: Want to Steal Someone's Foundation? The Seventh Sequence, Jun Xuehuang
Huangzhou, outside the Jun Family mountain gate.
Countless birds and beasts arrived in overwhelming numbers, pulling various types of magnificent carriages.
Massive river ships crossed the void.
At this moment, the Jun Family mountain gate stood wide open, warmly welcoming guests from all directions.
As for the possibility of someone causing trouble?
The formations flickering faintly within the void emitted an aura that even Saints would dread, more than enough to deter those with impure intentions.
No individual or power dared to cause trouble at the Jun Family banquet.
"The Dao Extreme Heaven Sect has arrived, presenting the Divine Son's congratulatory gift: nine volumes of Daoist scriptures!"
"It is the Dao Extreme Heaven Sect. That old Daoist from the Dao Extreme Heaven Sect is quite famous," some people from various factions discussed.
"The Great Yan Sacred Land has arrived, presenting the Divine Son's congratulatory gift: one bottle of Spirit-Gathering Jade Marrow and one hundred top-grade Divine Sources."
"Heavens, the Great Yan Sacred Land actually brought out Spirit-Gathering Jade Marrow! That is a miraculous substance capable of nourishing the True Spirit within the Divine Palace!" Many people listened with envious eyes.
Every single one of these gifts was enough to make people scramble for them, yet now, they were all being offered freely to the Jun Family Divine Son as congratulatory gifts.
This could not help but incite jealousy and envy.
"The Great Shang Dynasty has arrived, presenting a supreme treasure: a scroll of the Mountains and Rivers Map!"
As the announcement fell, a stunningly beautiful woman arrived carrying a landscape scroll, her smile charming and her eyes bright and captivating.
"It is the Princess of the Great Shang Dynasty. What a beauty."
"Sigh, such a lovely lady, yet we can only watch from afar, while she seeks to throw herself at the Jun Family Divine Son. It truly makes one feel inferior when comparing oneself to others," many male geniuses from various factions sighed inwardly.
None of them were qualified to pursue the Princess of Great Shang, yet this princess only wished to be chosen by that Divine Son.
Following this, numerous factions arrived one after another to present their gifts.
There was the Snow Wind Empire from the Far North, and the Horizon Dao Academy from the southernmost tip.
It could be said that any faction that received the Sword-Flying Message dared not fail to attend.
These were all first-rate factions or higher, qualified to enter the Jun Family mountain gate.
As for the second-rate factions that did not even reach the first-rate level, they could only present their gifts and wait at the banquet outside the mountain gate.
These factions were not dissatisfied, as they truly lacked the qualification.
"The Ancient Desolate Jiang Family has arrived, presenting one Ancient Saint Weapon, three stalks of Undying Medicine, one hundred top-tier Saint Pills, and one thousand top-grade Divine Sources..."
The Jun Family gatekeeper continued to recite.
Such a display of wealth shocked all the factions present.
"Isn't this gift a bit too extravagant?"
"Forget it. The Jiang Family and the Jun Family have been intermarrying for generations. The mother of that Jun Family Divine Son is from the Jiang Family. How could the maternal clan's gifts not be abundant?"
The Jiang Family was considered the most closely allied immortal power to the Jun Family.
The two families had been intermarrying for generations, to the point where they were practically inseparable.
Two exquisite silhouettes stepped directly into the Jun Family mountain gate.
As the assembled guests looked upon them, their expressions froze, some even becoming entranced.
These two beauties, one large and one small.
The elder wore flawless white robes, possessing a graceful, immortal posture and exquisite, stunning features, as if a fairy had descended to earth.
The younger was petite and exquisite, with lively, sparkling eyes and a temperament of refined elegance, like a beautiful elf.
Though their styles differed, both were peerless beauties that made the very heavens and earth seem dim by comparison.
"What beautiful women. That great beauty must be the Divine Maiden of the Jiang Family, Jiang Shengyi, who possesses the Innate Dao Fetus."
"The smaller one should be the pearl of the Jiang Family, Jiang Luoli, who possesses the Primordial Spirit Dao Body."
Looking at the two beauties, the males present found it difficult to look away.
Almost at the same time, another voice rang out.
"The Ancient Desolate Ye Family has arrived, presenting ten stalks of top-tier Saint Medicine, one hundred Divine Sources, and three King-level weapons."
Hearing this, many people muttered secretly.
The Ancient Desolate Ye Family was also quite renowned, but the gifts they presented were quite ordinary. Forget comparing them to the Jiang Family just now; even compared to a first-rate faction, they seemed somewhat meager.
However, the relationship between the Ye Family and the Jun Family was merely mediocre; it was only natural for them to send such modest gifts.
"Haha, Miss Luoli, please stay a moment."
Two figures walked into the Jun Family mountain gate; one was an old servant with a goatee, and the leading youth in blue robes was none other than Ye Xingyun.
"It is the top-tier genius of the Ye Family, Ye Xingyun, who possesses the Star King Body!"
"Who are you?" Jiang Luoli turned around and glanced at Ye Xingyun, her eyes filled with doubt.
The smile on Ye Xingyun's face stiffened slightly in embarrassment, and he then said, "Miss Luoli has forgotten. In the Falling Moon Secret Realm..."
Only then did Jiang Luoli manage to remember, her small face remaining indifferent as she said, "Oh, you are that... that whoever?"
"I am Ye Xingyun of the Ancient Desolate Ye Family." Ye Xingyun felt increasingly embarrassed.
Could it be that Jiang Luoli had no impression of him at all?
"Oh, it's you. My apologies. Luoli usually cannot remember people with average looks," Jiang Luoli said, pouting her small lips.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.
Ye Xingyun was humiliated to the extreme.
To be honest, Ye Xingyun's appearance was not bad; he had sharp brows and bright eyes, looking very refined. Most women would find him very pleasant and easy on the eyes.
Yet, in Jiang Luoli's mouth, he became "average-looking."
However, Ye Xingyun was thick-skinned enough to maintain a forced smile and said, "Miss Luoli, it has been a long time. I wonder if we might sit at the same table later?"
Hearing this, some people present understood.
It turned out that Ye Xingyun's intentions were not about the banquet.
He hadn't come to attend the feast, but to flirt.
Beside them, Jiang Shengyi frowned slightly.
Jiang Rou had been constantly trying to matchmake Jiang Luoli and Jun Xiaoyao.
Was this Ye Xingyun trying to steal someone's partner?
"Luoli, let's go find Cousin Jiang Rou," Jiang Shengyi said, pulling Jiang Luoli's small hand.
"Oh," Jiang Luoli nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to Ye Xingyun.
Ye Xingyun took a deep breath, his face still wearing a composed smile.
"It's fine, I still have a chance," Ye Xingyun comforted himself inwardly.
On the other side, a magnificent, golden hall of the Jun Family opened.
Only the most distinguished guests and those from top-tier orthodox lineages were qualified to enter.
The rest of the first-rate factions were seated on other divine islands.
The Jiang Family, the Ye Family, and other ancient desolate families, supreme clans, and top-tier dynasties also entered.
Various fine wines, delicacies, and jade platters were brought to the tables; the dishes were magnificent and abundant, all consisting of rare treasures.
"Have some of the Jun Family's great figures not arrived yet? Where is the Divine Son?" An elder from a top-tier orthodox lineage looked around.
At that moment, a man and a woman, two figures with powerful auras, appeared.
One was a young man in black robes, his temperament as sharp as a sword.
He was the Jun Family's Tenth Sequence, Jun Zhangjian.
He had specifically emerged from seclusion to attend Jun Xiaoyao's tenth birthday banquet.
The woman beside him wore a light blue tasseled long dress, and a chill seemed to emanate from her entire body.
Her pupils were ice-blue, and her dark hair was held up by an ice-blue phoenix hairpin. Her skin was like ice and snow, making her look like a beauty carved from ice.
"That is the Jun Family's Seventh Sequence, Jun Xuehuang. She possesses the Ice Spirit Body. It is rumored that with a single thought, she can freeze ten thousand miles of land and make snow fall from the heavens."
Many figures from various factions observed Jun Xuehuang.
The ten sequences of the Jun Family were all extraordinary.
Among them, there were naturally no lack of heroic women, and Jun Xuehuang was one such existence.
"I didn't expect you to specifically emerge from seclusion to attend the tenth birthday banquet of our junior brother Xiaoyao," Jun Zhangjian said with a faint smile.
The ten sequences of the Jun Family were either in seclusion or traveling the world, braving various secret realms.
Very few actually came specifically to attend Jun Xiaoyao's tenth birthday banquet.
Jun Xuehuang pursed her lips and said indifferently, "I simply wanted to see to what extent that Divine Son, who could defeat you at the age of three, is truly formidable."
Hearing this, Jun Zhangjian's expression immediately became awkward.
This was truly bringing up a sore spot.
Just then, another figure walked into the great hall.
"Is it him?"
Upon seeing this figure, both Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions turning solemn.
