Although the turmoil in the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms did not spread throughout the entire Immortal Domain, it caused a sensation in dozens of nearby states.
Initially, no one was optimistic about the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, believing the outcome was already decided.
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom would either submit or be annihilated.
But in the end, the news that spread shocked the world.
The Jun Family Divine Child, leading the Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain Four Guards, came to their aid with overwhelming power.
And the person behind the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom also surfaced, revealed to be the Champion Marquis Yang Pan of the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
The subsequent news sent shivers down everyone's spines.
The Jun Family Divine Child forcefully annihilated the Champion Marquis's Clone.
Even the Azure Dragon Kingdom Lord was casually slain by his Guardian.
This game between the Jun Family Divine Child and the Divine Dynasty's Champion Marquis ended with Jun Xiaoyao's complete victory.
However, many also knew that the Champion Marquis, with his perverse and arrogant nature, would definitely not tolerate such a significant loss.
As expected, within a few days, news came from within the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
Champion Marquis Yang Pan challenged Jun Xiaoyao to a battle atop the Forbidden City.
Moreover, the chosen date was precisely the day the Divine Dynasty Long Princess, Wu Mingyue, was to select her consort.
This news was like a massive stone dropped into the ocean, stirring up monstrous waves.
Many understood that Yang Pan had ulterior motives.
Because on the day Wu Mingyue selected her consort, countless forces would surely come to the Panwu Divine Dynasty to observe the ceremony.
Under such circumstances, the popularity and influence of their duel would reach its peak.
If Yang Pan could truly defeat Jun Xiaoyao, that news would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain in the shortest possible time.
At that time, the Jun Family Divine Child's invincible myth would be instantly shattered.
The Champion Marquis could then rise to power by stepping on Jun Xiaoyao's reputation.
It must be said that Yang Pan's choice had a bit of cunning behind it.
"Is that Champion Marquis really so confident in himself?" many people discussed.
"You can't underestimate the Champion Marquis; he was recognized by the Pan Huang Living Sword, and there are even rumors that he is the Reincarnation of Panwu Great Emperor."
"That should be a rumor, but the Champion Marquis is indeed not weak; he is considered a top figure among the younger generation."
"I wonder if that Jun Family Divine Child will accept the challenge?"
"Let's wait and see…"
While others in the Immortal Domain were awaiting Jun Xiaoyao's response, Jun Xiaoyao sent no news.
This surprised many.
Had the usually high-profile and flamboyant Jun Family Divine Child chickened out?
Little did they know.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was in the Imperial Palace of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, studying the bronze compass.
He had already assembled the four compass components into a complete compass.
The complete compass appeared quite ancient and profound, bearing the vicissitudes of time.
However, Jun Xiaoyao temporarily did not know how to use it.
"Could it be that the time for its use has not yet arrived?" Jun Xiaoyao speculated.
Currently, there has been no news of the Bronze Immortal Palace appearing in the entire Immortal Domain for a long time.
Perhaps the time has not yet come.
When news of the Bronze Immortal Palace emerges again, this compass should play a significant role.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao put the bronze compass into his Magical Artifact.
"This trip has indeed been quite fruitful," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
The most important gain, naturally, was the bronze compass.
Secondly, he also signed in at the Imperial Palace and obtained the ancient holy weapon, Phoenix Cry Qishan.
In addition, he had integrated the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
The current strength of the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom is far beyond what the previously fragmented Four Great Ancient Kingdoms could compare to.
Although it still cannot compare to an Immortal Dao Lineage, it is already considered a very top-tier force.
"A duel with me atop the Forbidden City?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
Recently, the news of the Champion Marquis's challenge had been creating a stir, and Jun Xiaoyao had naturally known about it for a long time.
He hadn't responded because he had been researching the bronze compass.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did not plan to respond now either.
He had already planned to personally attend on the day Wu Mingyue selected her consort anyway.
As for the Champion Marquis, he would just suppress him incidentally then.
"Yang Pan, ahead is Hell…" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
He knew that Yang Pan, possessing the Pan Huang Living Sword, was also a person of Luck.
In his eyes, he was just a lush green leek.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was contemplating how to harvest Yang Pan later, far away in the Black Desert State, one of the Three Thousand Provinces.
This place was a sparsely populated state, with vast stretches of desolate mountains, wild lands, and Gobi deserts.
Among the Three Thousand Provinces, it was considered a state with relatively few Cultivators and was quite desolate.
And at this moment, outside a mountain range in the Black Desert State that exuded a wild and untamed aura, a young man in a cyan robe, with a delicate and handsome appearance, was kneeling on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, roaring up at the sky.
It was Xiao Chen.
After the Yuantian Secret Treasure, Xiao Chen, guided by Qinglong Shangren, came to the Black Desert State, preparing to search for the ancient nest where the Ancestral Dragon Nest's Ancient Freak was buried.
But just now, he had unexpectedly learned news of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom from a passing Cultivator.
His father, the Azure Dragon Kingdom Lord, had been killed by Jun Xiaoyao's Guardian.
The entire Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom had been annihilated and merged into the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
Now, Xiao Chen no longer even held the identity of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's First Prince.
He had completely become a commoner with no background.
"The hatred of a murdered father, the vengeance of a destroyed nation, Jun Xiaoyao, I, Xiao Chen, will definitely skin you, pull out your tendons, grind your bones to dust, and scatter your ashes! If I fail this vow, I swear I am not human!"
Xiao Chen roared furiously at the sky, extreme hatred and rage surging in his heart.
Beside him, Qinglong Shangren's soul body appeared, his old face also extremely grim.
He had even said that Xiao Chen was the Son of National Luck, but now, there was no nation left.
More importantly, that thing was gone.
"Alas, that bronze compass must have fallen into the Jun Family Divine Child's hands. This child's schemes are truly too deep," Qinglong Shangren sighed deeply.
How could they know that Jun Xiaoyao had already begun preparing to subdue the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms from the moment he encountered Bai Yu'er?
As for the bronze compass, it was an unexpected bonus.
"Old Ancestor, I want to become stronger! I must kill that Jun Xiaoyao, I must kill him!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot, his blood vessels nearly bursting, and he seemed to have gone mad.
"Xiao Chen, calm down! Your Dao Heart is about to fall into madness!" Qinglong Shangren frowned, letting out a cold shout.
"Madness, haha, what if I go mad? I want to kill Jun Xiaoyao, no matter the cost!"
Xiao Chen's handsome face twisted, becoming as hideous as a vengeful ghost!
"You forgot, you still have two trump cards: the Supreme blood in the ancient nest, and Wu Mingyue and the Panwu Divine Dynasty," Qinglong Shangren said.
These words were like a basin of cold water poured over Xiao Chen's head, instantly calming him down.
"That's right, I haven't lost yet. I still have Mingyue; I will marry her, and she will definitely help me." Xiao Chen took a deep breath.
Remembering that peerlessly beautiful woman, Xiao Chen's mood gradually calmed down.
Even if he lost his father and his country.
At least, there was a confidante who would accompany him and help him.
However, Xiao Chen did not know.
Wu Mingyue had hidden from him the news that she was Jun Xiaoyao's female slave.
If Xiao Chen were to find out in the end, it would be unimaginable how crazed he would become.
