Chapter 15: Xiao Chen, the First Prince of the Ancient Azure Dragon Kingdom, is Blessed with Destiny Once Again

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Within the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, the sounds of magical fluctuations and thunderous roars echoed from time to time.

Everyone in the Jun family knew that it meant Jun Xiaoyao had achieved another breakthrough.

At first, many Jun family disciples were astonished by the speed of his breakthroughs.

By now, however, it had become commonplace.

If he didn't possess such a breakthrough speed, the Jun family would actually find it strange.

During these six months, Bai Yu'er had remained kneeling outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

Her complexion had turned pale, and she had become emaciated, looking much thinner than she had half a year ago.

As a cultivator, Bai Yu'er would not starve to death despite not eating for half a year, but she had become extremely weak.

As she was now, how could she still possess the lofty demeanor of a princess of a nation?

During this period, Jun Xiaoyao had ignored her entirely. Even if they crossed paths when he stepped out of the palace, Jun Xiaoyao would not spare her a single glance, acting as if she did not exist.

In response, a self-mocking smile merely played upon the corners of Bai Yu'er's lips.

This was her own doing; she deserved it.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, cultivating.

Accompanied by a sudden, resounding boom, Jun Xiaoyao's aura surged to its peak, achieving another breakthrough.

"I've reached the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Palace Realm," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Counting from the five realms of the Physical Body, through the five realms of the Divine Treasury and the nine heavens of the Spirit Sea, he had now reached the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Palace.

At only eight years old, Jun Xiaoyao had broken through a total of twenty-eight cultivation realms within these eight years.

This was nothing short of terrifying.

Generally speaking, even the most gifted geniuses would require about twenty years to break through this many realms.

Jun Xiaoyao had accomplished it in only eight years.

"It's not enough. By my tenth birthday banquet, I must at least break through to the True Spirit Realm," Jun Xiaoyao said to himself.

He had a premonition that his tenth birthday banquet would not be so peaceful.

"Right, there is also the matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom that needs to be handled."

Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao sent a direct voice transmission to Jun Linglong.

A moment later, Jun Linglong pushed the door open and entered.

With a flick of his wrist, Jun Xiaoyao took a precious medicinal herb from his Void Ring. It was shimmering with purple qi and shaped like a Qilin.

It was precisely the Qilin Undying Medicine.

If this Undying Medicine were placed in the outside world, it would trigger a bloody storm as countless people fought to seize it.

"Divine Son, are you planning to..." Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes flashed.

Was Jun Xiaoyao finally going to deal with the matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?

"Linglong, go to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom on my behalf. Tell the Vermilion Bird Sovereign that if he is willing to submit to me, I will give him this Qilin Undying Medicine to save his life."

As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he handed the Qilin Undying Medicine to Jun Linglong.

"Linglong will certainly accomplish it. I will go tell Bai Yu'er immediately," Jun Linglong said.

Jun Linglong had seen that Bai Yu'er had been kneeling outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace for half a year, which could be considered a sincere act of repentance.

"Wait, don't tell Bai Yu'er yet. Let her continue kneeling. Also, do not let the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom tell Bai Yu'er about this medicine," Jun Xiaoyao said, waving his hand.

He intended to let Bai Yu'er kneel for a full year first.

Only when she was on the verge of total despair would she hear the news that her father had been healed.

At that moment, one could only imagine how Bai Yu'er would feel.

She would undoubtedly become utterly and blindly loyal to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a villain?" Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

Jun Linglong was very intelligent and had thought of this as well.

She could not help but feel even more admiration for Jun Xiaoyao's methods.

A genius who possessed only martial strength would find it difficult to reach the end.

Only a genius who possessed both martial strength and strategic wisdom was qualified to ascend to the peak.

Afterward, Jun Linglong left the Heavenly Emperor's Palace and sought out a protector from her lineage, preparing to head to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

The protector was an elderly woman. Seeing how much Jun Linglong had been running around for Jun Xiaoyao over the years, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache and spoke up.

"Miss, is it truly worth it? The Divine Son might truly only treat you as a maidservant."

"Granny Hua, please do not say such things in the future. The achievements the Divine Son will attain in the future are beyond your imagination."

"Even if I am only a maidservant, Linglong will be content," Jun Linglong said.

Hearing this, Granny Hua sighed inwardly.

She naturally could not know that Jun Linglong had once glimpsed a corner of the future.

Being the maidservant of the future Heavenly Emperor... didn't seem so bad after all...

Jun Linglong and Granny Hua rushed toward the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom without pause.

Meanwhile, in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, in Cang Province, one of the three thousand Dao Provinces.

The entirety of Cang Province bordered Huo Province and was roughly the same size.

The power that possessed the whole of Cang Province was the top-tier Daoist lineage, the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

Unlike the declining Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, the national strength of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom was rising steadily, showing a trend toward becoming the leader of the four great ancient kingdoms.

At this moment, inside a grand hall within the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's imperial palace.

A youth dressed in a four-clawed azure dragon robe was kneeling on the ground.

He had a refined and handsome appearance that was very pleasing to the eye, appearing to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

His cultivation had already reached the Divine Palace Realm.

Among the ancient families, reaching the Divine Palace Realm at this age was considered a genius.

Not to mention, in the outside world, he would definitely be seen as a heaven-blessed prodigy.

He was Bai Yu'er's fiancé, the First Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot, his face wearing an expression of suppressed rage as he cupped his hands and spoke to the figure seated upon the throne, shrouded in endless magical radiance.

"Father, please grant your son an Undying Medicine to send to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom!"

Upon the throne sat the Azure Dragon Sovereign. As his magical power fluctuated, it seemed to faintly coalesce into the shape of a dragon, his aura being incredibly majestic.

He spoke indifferently, "My son, our Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom only possesses one Qilin Undying Medicine, which was passed down from our ancestors. How could I possibly give it away to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?"

"But Yu'er is kneeling in humiliation at the Jun family! As her fiancé, how can I bear this?"

Xiao Chen's fury burned intensely. His fingers clenched tightly into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms and bringing a piercing pain.

The news of Bai Yu'er kneeling for a long time before the Divine Son's residence of the Jun family had already spread.

While many were curious about the mysterious Divine Son of the Jun family, they were also watching the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom become a laughingstock.

To have one's own fiancée kneeling before the residence of another man—what kind of humiliation was that?

Not to mention that Bai Yu'er was his childhood sweetheart; how could Xiao Chen swallow such an insult?

"My son, you must be patient. I have my own considerations regarding the matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said calmly.

"What is so great about that Jun family Divine Son? He uses his status and background to bully others!"

"To even humiliate a woman, is he even human?" Xiao Chen shouted in anger.

He did not think at all about whether Bai Yu'er had done something wrong.

How could his fiancée possibly be in the wrong? It must all be that Jun Xiaoyao's fault.

"Silence! Do not speak nonsense about this matter. Withdraw. You are not qualified to criticize the people of the Jun family," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said with a frown.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Chen turned and walked out of the hall.

"Just wait. What is so great about the Jun family Divine Son? Once I have mastered that technique, I will go to the Jun family to bring Yu'er back, and while I'm at it, teach that Divine Son a lesson."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger.

This Coiling Dragon Ring was an item passed down to him by his late mother.

A few years ago, this ring began to transmit powerful cultivation techniques and pure magical power to him.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Chen possessed his current talent and strength.

"With the Coiling Dragon Ring left by my mother, even that Jun family Divine Son will be beneath my feet in the future!"

Xiao Chen's expression was cold and fierce, filled with a mysterious confidence.
