Starting by signing in with the Desolate Ancient Holy Body
Chapter 13: Chaos Divine Mill Visualization, Being Morally Kidnapped?
The Jun Family, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in a secret cultivation chamber.
Surrounding him were piles of top-grade Divine Origin Stones, releasing endless, dense spiritual energy.
In the Immortal Domain, ordinary martial artists use common Origin Stones for cultivation.
Cultivators from top-tier traditions and first-rate forces use the more precious Heavenly Origin Stones.
Only powers like the Ancient Families, Supreme Traditions, and Immortal Dynasties can afford the most precious Divine Origin Stones.
Above Divine Origin Stones, there are Immortal Origin Stones, but such things are rare and hard to come by; even the Ancient Families cannot produce many of them.
Origin Stones of different rarities are categorized into four grades: low, medium, high, and top-grade.
What Jun Xiaoyao used for his cultivation was the top-grade Divine Origin Stone, the highest tier aside from Immortal Origin Stones.
It can be said that if Jun Xiaoyao were to take out a single top-grade Divine Origin Stone, it would cause people in the outside world to fight tooth and nail for it.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao sat with his eyes closed.
In his mind, there was a magnificent and resplendent palace.
This was the Divine Palace condensed from his soul power.
The five realms of the physical body and the five realms of the Divine Treasury are both about tempering the flesh to its limit.
The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Sea involve cultivating the Dantian Spirit Sea, which concerns the depth of one's mana.
The Nine Heavens of the Divine Palace, however, involve cultivating the Divine Palace to strengthen the soul.
Once Jun Xiaoyao breaks through to the True Spirit Realm, a True Spirit will be conceived within the Divine Palace. At that time, his soul power will surge once again.
In the future, he may even be able to transform his True Spirit into a Primordial Spirit, allowing it to leave his physical body and roam the four seas and eight wildernesses.
"This Chaos Divine Grinder Visualization Method is truly extraordinary..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
In his mind, a chaotic world seemed to have been derived.
Within the chaos, a vast, boundless divine grinder slowly rotated, crushing heaven and earth.
The divine grinder was stained with spots of blood, as if it were the blood of gods and demons.
This Chaos Divine Grinder Visualization Method relies on visualizing the divine grinder to crush one's consciousness and soul, only to reshape them again.
Through this cycle of destruction and rebirth, Jun Xiaoyao's soul became increasingly solid and robust.
"If an ordinary person were to practice this technique, they would surely be tortured to the point where death would be a relief, but for me, it doesn't seem too difficult," Jun Xiaoyao mused.
Perhaps because he was a soul that had transmigrated, his soul power far exceeded that of ordinary people.
This Chaos Divine Grinder was of great help to him, yet it brought him no pain.
"Moreover, as my cultivation deepens, I can directly manifest the Chaos Divine Grinder with my soul power to use as a means of combat."
"I can endure that kind of pain, but others surely could not," Jun Xiaoyao remarked with a click of his tongue.
It seemed he had gained another powerful trump card.
Meanwhile, above Huang Prefecture.
A Fire Spirit Sparrow pulled a gorgeous carriage, flapping its wings across the void and leaving behind a brilliant trail of flames.
This attracted the attention of many.
"Eh, that carriage has a Vermillion Bird totem. Is that the carriage of the Ancient Vermillion Bird Kingdom?"
"That's right. Rumor has it that the royals of the Ancient Vermillion Bird Kingdom use Fire Spirit Sparrows to pull their carriages. Could it be that famous Princess, Bai Yu'er?"
"Look at the direction she's heading—it's the Jun Family!"
The arrival of this carriage sparked much discussion among the crowd.
Before long, the carriage stopped outside the Jun Family's territory.
Above the entire Jun Family, aside from their own people, anyone from other forces who dared to cross the sky recklessly would be treated as an invader and wiped out immediately.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman with a tall figure, long legs, and wearing red feathered robes stepped out. It was indeed Bai Yu'er.
She had come alone this time, without any attendants.
Bai Yu'er looked out to see countless divine islands floating in the void within the Jun Family's territory, with various blessed lands spitting out rosy light.
This left Bai Yu'er feeling shocked.
Although the Ancient Vermillion Bird Kingdom was also a first-rate power with a great reputation, compared to the Ancient Family of the Jun clan, it was still like a small witch meeting a great one; there was no real comparison.
But immediately, a confident and faintly disdainful smirk curled the corners of Bai Yu'er's lips.
So what if the Jun Family is transcendent?
That arrogant figure of the Jun Family was still lusting after her body, wanting to gift her an Undying Medicine.
However, Bai Yu'er had already made up her mind not to give herself easily to that Jun Family prodigy.
After all, she was already betrothed.
If something were to happen, wouldn't that leave the First Prince of the Ancient Azure Dragon Kingdom wearing a green hat?
Having made up her mind, Bai Yu'er walked forward.
The Jun Family gates were guarded by Jun Family guards, who stood as towering as iron pagodas, their blood energy surging to the heavens.
"Stop right there. State your name."
The Jun Family guard spoke with an indifferent tone.
"I am the Princess of the Ancient Vermillion Bird Kingdom, Bai Yu'er. I have come to see Jun Linglong," Bai Yu'er said coolly.
"See the Noble Lady? Do you have a token? If not, get lost," the guard said indifferently.
Bai Yu'er's beautiful face stiffened.
She was, after all, a princess of a kingdom; even a gatekeeper of the Jun Family dared to scold her like this.
However, she had a request this time, so she had to suppress her temper and take out the jade slip used to communicate with Jun Linglong.
"Go in," the guard waved his hand dismissively.
Bai Yu'er bit her lip. Her status as a princess seemed so insignificant before the Jun Family.
On the other side, Jun Linglong had already found Jun Xiaoyao.
"Young Master, she has arrived," Jun Linglong said.
"Let's go. Let's see this Princess."
Jun Xiaoyao stood up. Dressed in white robes, he was elegant and handsome. Although he was only eight years old, his figure was as slender as a young man's.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu'er walked into a courtyard that looked like a fairyland.
Jun Linglong had arranged to meet her here.
Before long, Bai Yu'er heard footsteps and looked over.
She saw a slender youth whose skin was like immortal jade walking slowly toward her.
He looked like the son of a god, with a divine posture and jade-like bones, a peerless handsome face, and a faint radiance enveloping his body.
Bai Yu'er was stunned.
She had seen many heaven-gifted prodigies and young heroes, all of them handsome and dashing.
But compared to the youth before her, they were like fireflies to the bright moon, or loaches to a true dragon; there was simply no comparison.
Even her fiancé, the First Prince of the Ancient Azure Dragon Kingdom, who was also handsome and possessed extraordinary talent, seemed dim and lusterless compared to this youth.
Beside Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong, dressed in palace attire, followed half a step behind him.
Seeing this detail, Bai Yu'er took a deep breath in her heart.
Jun Linglong was a noble lady of the Jun Family, someone even she had to curry favor with, yet now, she felt like a mere attendant or maid?
"What is the background of this Jun Family prodigy? Could he be a Sequence?" A storm surged in Bai Yu'er's heart.
"You are Bai Yu'er?" Jun Xiaoyao asked indifferently.
"That is I," Bai Yu'er bowed slightly, though she remained very reserved.
She had regained her composure.
So what if the youth before her was transcendent? He still had designs on her.
Since that was the case, there was no need for her to be overly humble and lower her own value.
"You want to request an Undying Medicine to save your father?" Jun Xiaoyao continued.
"That is correct. I hope the Young Master will show kindness and lend a helping hand," Bai Yu'er said calmly, her tone devoid of any humility.
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.
Why did this attitude feel...
Not quite right.
It was as if she hadn't come to beg for medicine, but rather to demand it as a matter of course.
"Oh? But can you give me a reason? After all, Undying Medicines don't just fall from the sky," Jun Xiaoyao said in a flat tone.
Bai Yu'er's beautiful face stiffened slightly, and then a faint sneer curled her lips.
As expected, he had an agenda, didn't he?
However, Bai Yu'er certainly wouldn't use herself as a condition to trade for the Undying Medicine.
She spoke: "The Young Master is an extraordinary person. You must have a high status in the Jun Family and should not be lacking in Undying Medicines. By offering one, you could save a life."
"Not only that, but saving my Imperial Father is saving the lives of the billions of citizens of the entire Ancient Vermillion Bird Kingdom."
"To the Young Master, this is but a small effort, yet it would earn you merit and a good reputation. Is the Young Master unwilling to do even this?"
Bai Yu'er spoke, standing on the moral high ground.
Jun Xiaoyao had the ability to help, so why wouldn't he?
With great power comes great responsibility, does it not?
Hearing this somewhat familiar rhetoric, Jun Xiaoyao actually felt like laughing.
"So, I've finally been subjected to moral kidnapping?" Jun Xiaoyao thought, feeling speechless.
