"Well, even the System doesn't want me to keep a low profile..." Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
"Ding! Sign-in location refreshed. Please sign in at the Taiyue Ancient Stele!"
"Taiyue Ancient Stele, where is that place?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered.
However, there was no rush for this, as he was currently just an infant, and had already signed in for an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient. It could be said to be a perfect start.
He could look for the next sign-in location later.
"This sign-in granted me an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient. I wonder what good things the next sign-in will yield?" Jun Xiaoyao felt a bit of anticipation.
Just then, Jun Zhantian slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, I haven't named my precious grandson yet. How about Jun Changsheng? It symbolizes his future aspiration to achieve Immortal Ascension."
Jun Xiaoyao, held in his arms, was somewhat speechless.
While the name Jun Changsheng sounded acceptable, he still preferred to use his own name.
"Ah, that's not appropriate. There are too many people named Changsheng!" Some clan elders shook their heads.
In this world, everyone sought longevity, so there were an exceptionally large number of people with that name.
At this moment, a somewhat weak voice suddenly rang out, "How about Xiaoyao? My husband once said that Immortal Ascension is easy, but being carefree is hard. I only hope my child can live a carefree life."
The beautiful woman, lying pale on the bed, spoke.
She was Jun Xiaoyao's birth mother, Jiang Rou.
Jun Zhantian and the others could not ignore Jiang Rou's suggestion.
Because Jiang Rou's identity was not simple either; she was a Divine Maiden from the Ancient Desolate Family, Jiang Family.
Although the Jiang Family's reputation was not as widespread as the Jun Family's, they were also an Ancient Desolate Family, so how could they be weak?
"Alright, then it shall be Xiaoyao." Jun Zhantian nodded, but then he seemed to suddenly recall something, sighing softly.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyelids twitched at this situation.
He only then realized that his father seemed not to be here.
Could it be another one of those tropes where the father is sacrificed for boundless power?
"Zhantian, don't worry. Jun Wuhui is the White-Robed Divine King. How could he fall so easily? Moreover, once this child grows up, he might even be able to seek out and help his father," an old woman beside him comforted.
"You're right, haha, I still have my precious grandson!" Jun Zhantian regained his smile.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes blinked, silently noting his father's title.
White-Clad Divine King Jun Wu悔.
From this name, it seemed his father had quite a high standing...
"The news of Xiaoyao being an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient, once spread, will likely cause a stir in the Immortal Domain. You must know, there are many forces secretly wishing to harm our Jun Family," a clan elder said meaningfully.
"You mean to use means to conceal the Sacred Body fluctuations on Xiaoyao?" Jun Zhantian asked.
The other clan elders also nodded slightly.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Jun Xiaoyao was currently the Jun Family's treasure; not a single mistake could be allowed to occur.
"When did the descendants of my Jun family learn to hide and conceal? Can't we even protect a Sacred Body?"
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly echoed from the sky.
The entire Jun Family was startled, and countless gazes turned towards the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
"That fluctuation..."
"Such a powerful aura! It's the Old Ancestor who was slumbering in the Jun Family Ancestral Shrine, he's crawled out of his coffin!"
"Hiss... Even the Old Ancestor has been startled?" Countless Jun Family members gasped from all directions.
That was an Old Ancestor-level figure of the Jun Family; many Jun Family members had never had the chance to meet an Old Ancestor in their entire lives.
And Jun Xiaoyao, upon his birth, had actually startled an Old Ancestor, causing many to feel shock and envy.
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Zhantian and the other clan elders, hearing this voice, also showed signs of shock and hastily walked out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Above the Heavenly Emperor Palace, a huge spatial rift opened in the Void Realm.
A somewhat gaunt, grey-clad figure appeared.
It was a grey-robed old man, with dust still clinging to his head and body, as if he had just climbed out of the ground.
But within his shriveled body, it seemed to contain world-shaking power!
As if all the myriad worlds were trampled under his feet!
"It's the Eighteenth Ancestor! Greetings, Eighteenth Ancestor!"
Jun Zhantian and the others hastily bowed.
This grey-robed old man was a truly Old Ancestor-level figure of the Jun Family, buried in the Jun Family Ancestral Shrine for countless years.
He would only awaken when the Jun Family experienced a major change or reached a critical juncture of life and death.
Jun Zhantian and the others had never imagined that Jun Xiaoyao's birth would actually attract the attention of the Old Ancestor.
The Eighteenth Ancestor's figure flickered, appearing as if teleporting, in front of Jun Zhantian, taking Jun Xiaoyao into his arms.
His eyes were as profound as the sun and moon as he looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao, meanwhile, blinked his eyes, neither crying nor fussing, but rather showing a hint of curiosity.
"Is this my Jun Family's Old Ancestor? What a powerful aura, even stronger than Grandpa's," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Eighteenth Ancestor couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Good... good! My Jun Family has produced another True Dragon! You foolish things, you actually wanted to conceal this child's brilliance."
"Eighteenth Ancestor, I was worried that someone might harm my grandson in the future..." Jun Zhantian said, steeling himself.
Although their group of clan elders held high status, in front of the Eighteenth Ancestor, they could only be considered Juniors.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who dares! If those old geezers dare to stoop so low as to attack Xiaoyao, this old man doesn't mind instigating an Immortal Battle, turning the heavens and earth upside down, and letting blood flow for hundreds of millions of miles!"
The Eighteenth Ancestor's attitude was incomparably domineering.
Jun Zhantian and the others secretly swallowed their saliva.
The Immortal Battle was a great war initiated by Immortal Dao Lineages of the Rank of Ancient Desolate Family, Supreme Imperial Dynasty, and Ancient Royal Family.
One battle could turn the Immortal Domain upside down, causing billions of common people to bleed.
The Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain had not seen an Immortal Battle for a long time.
"This old man declares that from now on, this child shall be my Jun Family's Divine Child. All Cultivation resources shall be tilted towards him. Even if we have to force it, we must Cultivate an Accomplished Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient!" the Eighteenth Ancestor commanded.
Jun Zhantian and the other clan elders naturally nodded in agreement.
An Ancient Sacred Body that naturally broke its shackles; only a fool wouldn't Cultivate it.
"Moreover, grant this child the qualification of Zero Sequence..." the Eighteenth Ancestor continued.
"What?!" The clan elders were shocked.
If it was merely granting the Divine Child identity, that would be fine, as it was just a symbol of status.
But a Sequence was different.
A Jun Family Sequence had the qualification to contend for the position of Family Head.
The Jun Family's younger generation numbered tens of thousands.
However, only ten people had obtained the Sequence identity.
In other words, only these ten people were qualified to contend for the position of Family Head.
Each of these ten people, if brought out, could astound an era; they were the ten most outstanding Prodigies of the Jun Family.
And above the ten Sequences, there was a Zero Sequence.
Zero represented nothing, but also infinite possibilities!
Its status was even above the First Sequence!
The previous generation's Zero Sequence was none other than Jun Xiaoyao's father, the White-Clad Divine King Jun Wu悔!
"Eighteenth Ancestor, wouldn't this be somewhat inappropriate? It might cause discontent among the other Sequences..." an old woman tentatively asked.
Every Sequence had undergone countless trials to obtain this identity.
Granting Jun Xiaoyao the Zero Sequence upon his birth, how would that make the other Sequences feel?
"If they're discontent, let them contend for it themselves in the future. We'll see if they can win against this child," the Eighteenth Ancestor said, flicking his sleeve.
From his tone, he was clearly extremely confident in Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed silently upon hearing this.
His grandfather had high hopes for him, the Old Ancestor regarded him with special favor, and there were also the secrets of his father, as well as the hidden dangers of the Jun family.
It seemed he really couldn't be 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.
