Jun Xiaoyao snapped back to reality and realized that his public display was somewhat inappropriate. He released Jiang Luoli's waist.
Jiang Luoli's little face turned as red as if it would bleed, utterly embarrassed.
"Wuwu, I got spanked in public..." Jiang Luoli buried herself in Jiang Shengyi's embrace, hiding her face like a little ostrich.
She was the Jiang Family's treasured pearl, a maiden of noble standing, and felt naturally ashamed to be treated like this.
Jiang Shengyi stroked Jiang Luoli's small head and couldn't help but give Jun Xiaoyao a teasing look.
Her nephew certainly seemed as ethereal and handsome as an Exiled Immortal.
But he also had a slightly mischievous side.
The reproachful glance from Jiang Shengyi made Jun Xiaoyao notice this nominal aunt of his.
"Hmm? That kind of fluctuation, could it really be the Innate Dao Embryo?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened as he muttered to himself.
Previously, Jiang Rou had already informed Jun Xiaoyao.
Jiang Luoli was the cherished treasure of the Jiang Family, possessing the rare Primordial Spirit Dao Body, ranked among the top hundred of the Three Thousand Physiques.
As for Jiang Shengyi, she was the Jiang Family Divine Maiden, possessing an even rarer Innate Dao Embryo.
This physique was actually not much weaker than the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Innate Dao Embryo..."
"It's said that in ancient times, a certain Great Emperor who touched upon the Immortal Dao Domain possessed a supreme physique, the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, choosing not to dwell further on the thought.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian stepped forward and cleared his throat, "I thank all the venerable seniors for attending my grandson's banquet."
"Today, at this banquet, the Jun Family has another announcement to make."
As he spoke, Jun Zhantian's expression grew solemn, becoming very formal.
"What exactly is it?"
Seeing Jun Zhantian's serious demeanor, everyone appeared surprised.
"You all likely know that our Jun Family has the Top Ten Series, each a peerless pride, but above these ten, there is still one more position..."
Jun Zhantian's words caused everyone in the grand hall to tense up, and as if realizing something, their expressions suddenly changed.
Both Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang, members of the Series, seemed to have thought of something and stood up abruptly, their expressions filled with shock and incredulity.
Jun Wanjie's expression turned even more grave.
"Jun Xiaoyao, the Jun Family's Divine Son, will be the Jun Family's Zero Sequence, his status above the Top Ten Series!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Everyone was visibly astounded!
Everyone present understood what the Zero Sequence signified.
For the previous generation in the Jun Family, the Zero Sequence was none other than Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui!
Jun Zhantian's announcement was like a boulder crashing into the ocean, stirring up overwhelming waves.
It was conceivable that once this news spread today, the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm would be in an uproar!
After all, the Jun Family's Zero Sequence held extraordinary significance.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, it would grow to become the family's core figure and pillar.
Even the First Sequence, in terms of rank, was slightly inferior to the Zero Sequence.
"So the Xiaoyao Clan Brother is already slated as the Zero Sequence?" Jun Zhangjian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He had thought that after Jun Xiaoyao turned ten, he might join the competition for a sequence position.
But now it turned out that there was no need for him to compete, as he was already predetermined to become the Zero Sequence early on.
Although Jun Zhangjian was shocked, he did not feel jealousy.
After all, he had personally experienced Jun Xiaoyao's strength, which indeed qualified him for the Zero Sequence.
"I didn't expect that the Divine Son was already the Zero Sequence." Jun Xuehuang's chest heaved, equally surprised.
Meanwhile, Jun Wanjie clenched his fists tightly, as if vast thunderstorms interwove in his eyes, revealing the unrest in his heart.
"Why..." Jun Wanjie coldly thought to himself.
Why did he have to go through such painstaking efforts to obtain something that Jun Xiaoyao could easily get?
One could overlook the Divine Son title, but now even the supremely prestigious Zero Sequence status was directly bestowed on Jun Xiaoyao.
For a figure like Jun Wanjie, just vying for a sequence position required enduring numerous arduous trials before finally standing out among the many Jun Family prodigies.
Jun Wanjie felt bitter, unjust, and resentful!
Jun Zhantian scanned the room, observing the mixture of shock and reverence in their expressions, and nodded with satisfaction.
This was precisely the effect he desired.
After the tenth birthday banquet, Jun Xiaoyao would enter the world.
And before that, the Jun Family needed to create momentum for Jun Xiaoyao.
The identity of the Zero Sequence was undoubtedly the fastest way to establish Jun Xiaoyao's reputation.
"Is this to have the son inherit the father's legacy?" Many people's perspectives towards Jun Xiaoyao began to change.
Jun Xiaoyao's father, Jun Wuhui, was the previous Zero Sequence, and now he too had become the Zero Sequence.
With even just the title of Divine Son, Jun Xiaoyao was already invaluable.
Now, with the addition of the Zero Sequence status.
The dual identities combined meant few dared to provoke Jun Xiaoyao.
"Brother Xiaoyao is actually the Zero Sequence?"
Jiang Luoli peeked her little face out from Jiang Shengyi's embrace and blinked her eyes.
One of her most admired idols was Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui.
Now that Jun Xiaoyao was inheriting the legacy, it made him appear endlessly charming, like the next White-clothed Divine King.
"But Brother Xiaoyao actually spanked me and called me short, so naughty..." Jiang Luoli grumbled.
Though she felt a small grudge against Jun Xiaoyao, it was difficult to resist his charm.
In terms of strength, status, background, and appearance, he was practically unparalleled in this era.
Jiang Luoli surely couldn't escape the allure.
Jiang Rou's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscing and sighing, muttering to herself, "Wuhui, do you see this? Our child has now also become the Zero Sequence..."
Just as all the forces fell into shock.
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Elder, I have a question."
Upon hearing this voice, the faces of Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang both changed.
Jun Zhantian also directed his gaze towards it, frowning slightly.
The voice belonged to none other than the Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked over, expressionless.
The Zero Sequence status was his for the taking.
If Jun Wanjie did not recognize the situation, Jun Xiaoyao would not back down.
"What is your question?" Jun Zhantian asked calmly.
"May I ask if Jun Xiaoyao participated in the competition for sequences?" Jun Wanjie inquired sternly.
"He did not," Jun Zhantian replied.
"Has Jun Xiaoyao made any significant contributions to the family?" Jun Wanjie continued pressing.
"He has not," Jun Zhantian's face grew stern.
Jun Xiaoyao had not yet entered the world; how could he have accomplished anything for the Jun Family?
"Did Jun Xiaoyao overcome various trials and secure the sequence position himself?" Jun Wanjie asked persistently.
"He did not!" Jun Zhantian's tone was slightly cold.
If it had been anyone else from another force questioning this way, Jun Zhantian would have slapped them out by now.
But unfortunately, the questioner was the Jun Family's Fifth Sequence; taking action against him would damage the family's reputation.
"Given all this, what right does Jun Xiaoyao have to become the Zero Sequence without reason?!"
Jun Wanjie suddenly stood up, questioning loudly!
Furious lightning storms flashed incessantly in his eyes!
The atmosphere was dead silent!
Even Jun Zhantian was momentarily speechless.
And amidst this silence, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, standing with hands behind his back, resembling an Exiled Immortal descending to the mundane world.
"Since you have so many questions, then let me, Jun Mou, tell you."
"The Zero Sequence status was granted by the Eighteenth Ancestor, and he did so because he trusts me..."
"With me here, what need does the Jun Family have to fear the lack of a Great Emperor!"
