After finalizing his subsequent plans, Jun Xiaoyao directly departed the Jun Family alone, riding in a carriage pulled by the Nine-Headed Lion, heading towards the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
He did not bring Jun Zhangjian or others, not even Jun Linglong.
This was because Jun Xiaoyao intended to act alone this time, and it was inconvenient to bring them along.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao left the Jun Family,
the entire Immortal Domain gradually began to stir.
This was because the Panwu Divine Dynasty had sent out news that in half a month, a grand banquet would be held in the Forbidden City of the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dynasty.
The Panwu Divine Dynasty would widely invite various forces from the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain to attend.
At that time, the Panwu Divine Dynasty would also select Wu Mingyue's consort from among the young Prodigies of the various forces.
As soon as this news broke, the four directions stirred, and countless forces set out; various flying ships, carriages, and ancient flying beasts constantly streaked across the sky, heading towards the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
As an Immortal Dynasty with profound heritage, if one could marry its Princess and become a consort, it would almost be considered an alliance.
Those top-tier Dao Lineages wished to ally with the Panwu Divine Dynasty to reach a higher level.
And Immortal Forces, on the other hand, wanted to turn the Panwu Divine Dynasty into their ally.
After all, one cannot clap with one hand; even a powerful Immortal Force, if it had no friendly forces, risked being besieged by other Immortal Dao Lineages.
For these reasons, many forces were moved and prepared to let their Disciples try their luck.
Not to mention that the Princess, whose beauty was unparalleled, was also a stunning beauty and already very popular, with her good name spread far and wide in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
The superposition of these two reasons made the Panwu Divine Dynasty's banquet this time extremely grand.
But just as this news spread,
from the Champion Marquis's residence, Champion Marquis Yang Pan spoke again.
He said that if the Jun Family Divine Child dared not accept the challenge, then in the future, he would personally ascend the Jun Family's mountain gate to challenge him.
As soon as this significant news broke, it caused even greater waves.
Many people felt that this Champion Marquis was simply too arrogant.
He even dared to block others in front of the Jun Family's mountain gate.
The last person who went to challenge the Jun Family's mountain gate, Long Haotian, had grass five zhang high on his grave.
Many female Cultivators who admired Jun Xiaoyao were enraged.
"This ugly Champion Marquis is just jealous of my Xiaoyao's peerless beauty!"
"That's right, what if he's strong? Doesn't he know this is an era that values looks?"
"Moreover, my Xiaoyao's strength is unrivaled among his peers, so what is that Champion Marquis?"
...
Within the Ancient Jiang Family's ancestral land.
"Damn it, damn it, it's too infuriating!"
A petite and exquisite figure stomped her jade feet, so angry that her two pigtails behind her small head were sticking up.
Her delicate and spirited small face also showed a fierce yet adorable expression.
"Luoli, if you don't Cultivate properly, you'll be locked in the ancestral land forever."
Not far away, Jiang Shengyi, dressed in snow-white robes with a graceful Immortal posture, walked over, looking at the feisty Jiang Luoli with a slight headache.
"Hmph, Luoli can't swallow this anger. That Champion Marquis actually spread such news, trying to slander Brother Xiaoyao!" Jiang Luoli pouted, looking indignant.
"It's just a petty person causing trouble. That Champion Marquis's Heart-Nature is notoriously bad, so there's no need to care. Xiaoyao doesn't care either," Jiang Shengyi said.
The matter of Champion Marquis challenging Jun Xiaoyao was spreading like wildfire in the Immortal Domain.
Although Jiang Luoli was in secluded Cultivation in the ancestral land, she could still get news through her maidservants.
"No, I'm coming out of seclusion and going to the Panwu Divine Dynasty!" Jiang Luoli declared.
"What are you going to do, are you going to compete for the consort position?" Jiang Shengyi joked.
"I'm going to suppress that Champion Marquis and stomp on his face to vent my anger, to see if he still dares to provoke Brother Xiaoyao!" Jiang Luoli said righteously.
"Oh? Is that all?" Jiang Shengyi smiled slightly, seemingly seeing through Jiang Luoli.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoli's pretty face also blushed slightly, and she lowered her head a little shyly, twirling her two jade fingers together.
"Of course, although I know Brother Xiaoyao can't possibly compete for any consort position, but, just in case..." Jiang Luoli stammered.
It was clear that Jiang Luoli was afraid that Jun Xiaoyao might attend the banquet and then compete for the consort position, marrying Wu Mingyue.
After all, Wu Mingyue was also a very famous peerless beauty; almost no man could see Wu Mingyue without being moved.
"This is your main purpose, isn't it?" Jiang Shengyi chuckled.
They hadn't even allied yet, and Jiang Luoli had already turned into a little hen guarding her exclusive food.
Jiang Luoli was so embarrassed that her translucent earlobes turned completely red.
"Alright, then I'll take you there," Jiang Shengyi smiled helplessly, rubbing Jiang Luoli's small head.
"Oh yeah, Sister Shengyi is the best!" Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.
Jiang Shengyi also smiled faintly, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of imperceptible sadness.
"This girl truly likes Xiaoyao very much..."
...
On the other side, in the ancestral land of the Ancient Ye Family.
On a towering mountain peak, a blue-robed youth with a delicate face and sword-like eyebrows was sitting cross-legged.
The sky above his head was like a night sky.
A brilliant star river flowed through the night, beautiful and yet carrying an extremely dangerous aura.
This youth was none other than Ye Xingyun.
As early as Jun Xiaoyao's tenth birthday banquet, Ye Xingyun was severely humiliated by Jun Xiaoyao, losing much face.
However, Ye Xingyun, due to this misfortune, gained a blessing, Awakenings some memory.
Afterward, Ye Xingyun's personality seemed to undergo a subtle change, becoming more composed and reserved.
He was no longer as arrogant and sharp as before.
"Panwu Divine Dynasty, Champion Marquis's challenge. With Jun Xiaoyao's Heart-Nature, he will absolutely not be absent," Ye Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought.
Although his personality had changed somewhat, his hatred had not.
He wanted to get revenge on Jun Xiaoyao.
He also wanted to snatch Jiang Luoli for himself.
"Fine, I'll make a trip to the Panwu Divine Dynasty this time. It's also a good opportunity to ascertain Jun Xiaoyao's true strength."
Ye Xingyun made up his mind and asked Steward Fu to prepare the carriage.
...
In Chizhou, a vast and boundless ancient Spirit Mountain.
The entire Spirit Mountain covered an extremely wide area, shrouded in mist and filled with divine radiance.
There were vermilion cliffs and strange rocks, precipitous cliffs and peculiar peaks, and colorful Phoenixes dancing and Phoenix Birds circling.
Looking out, one could not see the end of the mountain range.
This area was the ancestral land of one of the Ancient Royal Families, Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain.
Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain, on par with the Ancestral Dragon Nest, was a top-tier Ancient Royal Family with deep heritage and strong power.
And at this moment, within a mountain range, an old voice came.
"Huang Xuanyi, Feng Qingling, you two, go to the Panwu Divine Dynasty. Remember, do not tarnish the prestige of my Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain."
"Yes, we respectfully obey the Grand Elder's command!"
Within the mountain range, two figures, one male and one female, wrapped in blazing divine light, rose into the air.
Above the sky, two golden Phoenix Birds pulled two carriages.
These two figures flashed directly into them.
"I wonder if we'll get to see the rumored Jun Family Divine Child this time?" Feng Qingling said inside the carriage.
"Heh, I also want to see what kind of person Jun Xiaoyao is, the one who caused the Ancestral Dragon Nest to lose face again and again," Huang Xuanyi said.
"However, we are not Long Haotian and Long Bichi," Feng Qingling chuckled softly.
"If Jun Xiaoyao underestimates us, he might suffer quite a bit..." Huang Xuanyi's tone was also very relaxed, carrying a sense of composure and self-satisfaction.
