Jun Xiaoyao generally rarely went into seclusion.
But whenever he did, after coming out, his entire being would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.
Jun Linglong and others stood respectfully outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Not long after, Jun Xiaoyao pushed the door open and emerged.
His clothes were whiter than snow, his aura was ethereal, and his appearance remained peerlessly handsome, enough to make all women's hearts flutter.
What was different from before was that Jun Xiaoyao's aura had elevated even further.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao already gave off the feeling of an exiled Immortal.
Now, this feeling was even stronger.
"How do I feel as if the Young Master is about to ride the wind and ascend to become an Immortal…" Jun Xuehuang murmured.
They naturally did not know.
This was because Jun Xiaoyao had Cultivated the Great Luo Immortal Body.
Jun Xiaoyao also did not tell Jun Linglong and the others about the Body Book.
It was better for as few people as possible to know about such matters.
Moreover, what Jun Xiaoyao had improved was not just his aura; the faintly emanating power gave even Jun Wanjie an extreme sense of danger.
As the fifth in the sequence, his strength was greater than Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Linglong.
But even he felt a chill in his heart when facing Jun Xiaoyao at this moment.
"The Young Master is even more unfathomable than before; I might not even be able to withstand a single move from him now," Jun Wanjie thought to himself.
"I've been in seclusion for almost a year, yet I've only refined six great luo immortal bones," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head, sighing inwardly.
He hadn't expected that hundreds of extremely rare Immortal sources would only refine six great luo immortal bones.
This consumption was simply too terrifying.
"If an ordinary person were to Cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Body, just finding the resources would take who knows how many years," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
If one were to observe his right arm at this moment, they would notice that it was faintly enveloped by divine radiance and Immortal Qi.
The six great luo immortal bones that Jun Xiaoyao had refined were all concentrated in his right arm.
This way, he could concentrate his power and prematurely unleash some of the effects of the great luo immortal bone.
"Congratulations, Young Master, on emerging from seclusion!"
Jun Linglong and the other three bowed and cupped their hands towards Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand slightly.
Then, he took out four ancient Dragon bones.
"Young Master, this…" Jun Zhangjian and the others looked puzzled.
"These four ancient Dragon bones, one for each of you," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Young Master, this is too precious…" Jun Xuehuang said, feeling flattered.
Ancient Dragon bones were rare treasures even in the outside world.
If Jun Xiaoyao were to keep them all, they would have no complaints, as Jun Xiaoyao contributed the most.
"We are all family; if I tell you to take them, then take them. There's no need to decline," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
"Yes, thank you, Young Master!" Jun Zhangjian and the others hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Their expressions all carried a hint of gratitude.
These Dragon bones were also very useful to them.
Jun Xiaoyao's gesture further solidified their belief in following him.
"Oh, by the way, Young Master, Linglong has something to report," Jun Linglong said, stepping forward as if she had just remembered something.
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Subsequently, Jun Linglong briefly recounted the situation of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom to Jun Xiaoyao.
"So that's how it is, I understand," Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.
And just then, the System's mechanical voice once again echoed in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed. Please sign in at the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's Imperial Palace!"
"Is the System going to give me freebies again?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, his expression very calm.
He had originally intended to personally visit the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
The System was truly thoughtful.
"Then, Young Master, what should we do?" Jun Linglong asked.
The reason she cared was not because of Bai Yu'er, but because the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom was Jun Xiaoyao's private force.
To be detrimental to the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, wouldn't that harm Jun Xiaoyao's interests?
"Transmit my order: mobilize one hundred thousand each of the Jun Family's Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was calm, and he handed a golden token to Jun Linglong.
That was the Young Master Token, the symbol of Jun Xiaoyao's status as the Young Master.
"To actually mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain Four Guards!" Jun Zhangjian and the others' pupils held traces of shock.
The Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain Four Guards were an extremely powerful force of the Jun Family.
They were respectively the Wind Shadow Guard, the Imperial Forest Guard, the Fire Cavalry Guard, and the Mountain God Guard.
These Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain Four Guards were not the Jun Family's only military force, but they were a highly renowned team among them.
They helped the Jun Family suppress resisting forces from all directions and guarded the Jun Family's various Dao Province territories. Wherever they passed, they were like an iron torrent, unstoppable!
Among the soldiers of these four teams, the weakest had a Cultivation in the Nirvana Realm, and there were many powerful experts in the Tongtian Realm and Godly Fire Realm.
Moreover, ordinary Prodigies of the Jun Family could absolutely not mobilize these four guards.
Even the Ten Sequences, if they wanted to mobilize them, would have to go through some procedures, and the number they could mobilize could not be too many.
Only Jun Xiaoyao had the qualification to freely mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain Four Guards, without limits on quantity or conditions.
As long as he presented the Young Master Token, he could mobilize them.
"Young Master, let us go too; it can be considered a form of tempering," Jun Zhangjian said.
Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then you all prepare as well."
"Yes." Jun Zhangjian and the others cupped their hands and went to make preparations.
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "The Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom is a force I intend to gather. Who exactly is the person who dares to snatch my peach?"
Jun Xiaoyao did not believe that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom alone could conquer the other Ancient Kingdoms.
When Jun Linglong informed him, she also mentioned that a mysterious force seemed to be helping the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.
This was worth pondering.
Jun Xiaoyao was also very curious, who was the person standing behind the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom?
And was that person's goal merely to unify the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom?
"It seems these Four Great Ancient Kingdoms are not that simple. There might be some unknown history behind them. I'll know once I ask Bai Yu'er then," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
Then, he directly went to find Jun Zhantian.
The matter of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom was not a big deal to him.
Even if it was accidentally destroyed, Jun Xiaoyao would only feel a slight pity.
As for Bai Yu'er, Jun Xiaoyao had never really cared about her; she was merely a chess piece in his hand.
What Jun Xiaoyao wanted to understand now was the matter of the bronze fragment in the wooden box.
Therefore, he went to find Jun Zhantian.
However, after Jun Zhantian saw the bronze fragment, his expression became incredibly solemn.
"Xiaoyao, where did this fragment come from?" Jun Zhantian asked.
"From the Yuantian Secret Treasure. It should have been brought by Yuan Tian Supreme from a foreign land," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He had nothing to hide from Jun Zhantian.
"So that's how it is. This bronze fragment is deeply involved," Jun Zhantian said solemnly.
This was the first time Jun Xiaoyao had seen Jun Zhantian's expression so grave.
"Grandpa, what is the origin of this bronze fragment?" Jun Xiaoyao became even more curious.
"Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of the seven wonders of the Immortal realm?" Jun Zhantian asked in a deep voice.
"The seven wonders?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.
