"Alright, even the system doesn't want me to be low-key..." Jun Xiaoyao silently grumbled in his heart.
"Ding, sign-in location refreshed. Please sign in at the Taiyue Ancient Stele!"
"Taiyue Ancient Stele, where is that?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered.
However, this matter wasn't urgent. After all, he was just an infant now, and he had already signed in a Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body, which could be considered a perfect start.
It wouldn't be too late to find the next sign-in location later.
"This time, I got the Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body. I wonder what good things I'll get next time I sign in?" Jun Xiaoyao felt a little expectant.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian slapped his forehead and said, "Oh right, I haven't given my precious grandson a name yet. How about calling him Jun Changsheng? It implies that he will attain eternal life in the future."
Jun Xiaoyao, being held in his arms, was a little speechless.
Although the name Jun Changsheng sounded acceptable, he still hoped to use his own name.
"Hey, that's not appropriate. Too many people are named Changsheng!" Some clan elders shook their heads.
In this world, everyone sought longevity, so an exceptionally large number of people chose this name.
Just then, a somewhat weak voice suddenly sounded: "Why not call him Xiaoyao? My husband once said that attaining immortality is easy, but being carefree (Xiaoyao) is difficult. I only hope my child will live a carefree life."
The beautiful woman with a pale face lying on the bed spoke.
She was Jun Xiaoyao's birth mother, Jiang Rou.
Faced with Jiang Rou's suggestion, Jun Zhantian and the others could not ignore it.
Because Jiang Rou's identity was not simple either; she was a divine maiden from the ancient aristocratic Jiang family.
Although the Jiang family was not as famous as the Jun family, it was also an ancient aristocratic family. How weak could it be?
"Alright, then let's call him Xiaoyao." Jun Zhantian nodded, but then he seemed to recall some worry and sighed softly.
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyelids twitched.
Only then did he realize that his father didn't seem to be here.
Could it be another one of those tropes where the father sacrifices himself for boundless power?
"Zhantian, don't worry. Jun Wuhui is the White-Robed Divine King. How could he fall so easily? Besides, when this child grows up, he might not be unable to find and help his father," an old woman at the side comforted.
"That's right, haha, I still have my precious grandson!" Jun Zhantian's smile returned.
Jun Xiaoyao blinked, secretly committing his father's title to memory.
White-Robed Divine King, Jun Wuhui.
Judging by this name, his father seemed to have a rather impressive standing...
"If the news that Xiaoyao is a Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body spreads, I'm afraid it will cause a stir in the Immortal Realm. You know, there are quite a few forces secretly wishing ill upon our Jun family," a clan elder said meaningfully.
"You mean, we should use some means to conceal the Saintly Body fluctuations on Xiaoyao?" Jun Zhantian said.
The other clan elders also nodded slightly.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Jun Xiaoyao was now the treasure of the Jun family, and not a single mistake could be allowed.
"Since when did the descendants of my Jun family learn to be so secretive? Can't we even protect a single Saintly Body?"
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly exploded from the sky.
The entire Jun family was alarmed, and countless gazes turned towards the area above the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
"That fluctuation..."
"What a powerful aura! It's an old ancestor who was slumbering in the ancestral shrine, crawled out of his coffin!"
"Hiss... Even an old ancestor was alarmed?" Sounds of countless Jun family members gasping in astonishment came from all directions.
That was an ancestor-level figure of the Jun family. Many Jun family members would never have the chance to see an old ancestor in their entire lives.
Yet, Jun Xiaoyao had alarmed an old ancestorผู้ตัดสิน as soon as he was born, shocking many and eliciting envious expressions.
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Zhantian and the other clan elders also wore expressions of shock upon hearing this voice and hurriedly walked out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Above the Heavenly Emperor Palace, a huge spatial rift tore open in the void.
A somewhat gaunt figure in grey robes appeared.
It was an old man in a grey robe, with dust still clinging to his head and body, as if he had just crawled out of the ground.
But his shriveled body seemed to contain world-shaking power!
As if all the myriad worlds were being trodden under his feet!
"It's the Eighteenth Ancestor! Greetings, Eighteenth Ancestor!"
Jun Zhantian and the others hurriedly bowed.
This grey-robed old man was a true ancestor-level figure of the Jun family, buried in the Jun family's ancestral shrine for countless years.
He would only awaken if a major upheaval occurred in the Jun family, or when it reached a life-or-death juncture.
Jun Zhantian and the others never imagined that Jun Xiaoyao's birth would actually attract the attention of an old ancestor.
The Eighteenth Ancestor's figure flashed, appearing before Jun Zhantian as if teleporting, and took Jun Xiaoyao into his arms.
His gaze was as deep as the sun and moon as he looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, blinked his eyes, not crying or making a fuss, but instead showing a trace of curiosity.
"Is this an old ancestor of my Jun family? What a powerful aura, even stronger than grandfather's," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Eighteenth Ancestor couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Good... Good! My Jun family has produced another true dragon! You foolish things, you actually wanted to conceal this child's radiance."
"Eighteenth Ancestor, I was afraid that someone might harm my grandson in the future..." Jun Zhantian said, steeling himself.
Although their group of clan elders held high positions, in front of the Eighteenth Ancestor, they could only be considered juniors.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who dares! If those old undying bastards dare to lower themselves to attack Xiaoyao, I don't mind starting an Immortal War and slaughtering them until the heavens are overturned and blood flows for millions of li!"
The Eighteenth Ancestor's attitude was incomparably domineering.
Jun Zhantian and the others secretly gulped.
An Immortal War was a great war initiated by immortal orthodoxies of the level of ancient aristocratic families, supreme imperial dynasties, and ancient imperial clans.
One such war could turn the Immortal Realm upside down and cause billions of lives to bleed.
The Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm had not seen an Immortal War for a very long time.
"I declare that from now on, this child will be the Divine Son of our Jun family! All cultivation resources will be directed towards him. Even if we have to pile them up, we must create a Great Accomplishment Saintly Body!" the Eighteenth Ancestor instructed.
Jun Zhantian and the other clan elders naturally nodded in agreement.
Only a fool wouldn't cultivate a Desolate Ancient Saintly Body that was born having broken its shackles.
"Moreover, grant this child the qualification of Sequence Zero..." the Eighteenth Ancestor continued.
"What?" The clan elders were shocked.
If it was just granting the status of Divine Son, that would be one thing; after all, it was just a symbol of status and position.
But the Sequence was different.
The Jun family's Sequence members were qualified to compete for the position of family head.
The younger generation of the Jun family numbered in the tens of thousands.
But only ten had obtained Sequence status.
In other words, only these ten were qualified to compete for the position of family head.
Each of these ten, if taken out, could stun an era; they were the ten most outstanding prodigies of the Jun family.
And above the ten Sequences, there was a Sequence Zero.
Zero represented nothingness, and also represented infinite possibilities!
Its status was even above that of the First Sequence!
The previous generation's Sequence Zero was precisely Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Robed Divine King, Jun Wuhui!
"Eighteenth Ancestor, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It will cause dissatisfaction among the other Sequences..." an old woman tentatively suggested.
Every Sequence member had gone through countless trials to obtain their status.
Granting Jun Xiaoyao Sequence Zero status right after he was born, what would the other Sequences think?
"If they are dissatisfied, let them compete for it themselves in the future. We'll talk after they can win against this child," the Eighteenth Ancestor said with a flick of his sleeve.
Hearing his tone, it was clear he was extremely confident in Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed silently upon hearing this.
His grandfather had high hopes for him, the old ancestor viewed him in a special light, there were secrets about his father, and the hidden dangers facing the Jun family.
It seemed he really couldn't just be a salted fish (a slacker).
"Invincible talent, invincible background, system assistance. With such a perfect start, if I still can't suppress an era, then I can only say I'm too weak..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
