Jun Linglong, the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, and Who would be the Heavenly Emperor Jun?

The combat arena of the Jun family was located on a huge island hovering in midair.

Many members of the Jun family's younger generation would be found training in the combat arena.

Not only was there a ring in the arena, but all sorts of facilities for testing out one's cultivation level were also found all over the place, easily accessible to all members of the Jun family.

The Old Tablet of Taiyue was something that some big shots from the Jun family took by force and placed in that combat arena so that the disciples of the family had a means of testing the capabilities of their physical bodies.

There was a young girl in palace attire seen next to the Old Tablet of Taiyue, who was preparing to test herself with the artifact.

The young girl looked to be in her early teens. Her long, curly blonde hair was draped onto her shoulder in wavy patterns. Every strand of her hair had a dazzling sheen to it.

Her skin shone was like frozen grease, and her lips glittered, making her look elegant and regal.

Despite her young age, her figure—though wrapped tightly in palace attire—looked attractive.

"I wonder how well Jun Linglong will do this time."

"She has the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong after all, which enables her to easily and quickly pick up all manner of methods. I think she's mastered several physical methods by now."

"I heard that there had been several sequenced ones wanting to recruit her as their follower, but she turned every single one of them down."

The disciples of the Jun family gathered around as they murmured among themselves and looked at the young girl named Jun Linglong.

While she was not among the 10 sequences, she was nonetheless quite a renowned lady in the Jun family because she had the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong.

Her heart was also known as the Heart of Saints, which meant that she was destined to become a saint if she were to able to survive until then.

To a Clan of the Ancients like the Jun family, a saint in their midst was hardly considered something rare.

However, if one were to judge in the scope of the entire Huangtian Mystic Realm, saints were absolutely people who were considered some of the greatest figures out there.

It was due precisely to her potential to become a saint that some sequenced ones were willing to extend their offers and recruit her to become their follower, but she turned all of them down without exceptions.

"Golden Palm of Zhentian!"

Jun Linglong lifted her fair hands and lashed out at the Old Tablet of Taiyue.

Despite her petite and delicate frame, she still seemed to have brought about so much force with that attack.

Boom!

The Old Tablet of Taiyue glittered after a rumble was heard.

150 thousand catties of force!

"Jun Linglong is truly something. I mean, it increased by 30,000 catties compared to her last attempt."

"I second that. A common genius would only be able to bring about a hundred thousand catties of force, even training their physical bodies to the limit. Jun Linglong had already broken through that stage."

People showered her with praises from all directions. At the same time, she also received very heated, mesmerized gazes from several fans.

However, there was hardly any emotion seen on her fair face; she looked completely unfazed.

A shrill female voice was heard at that moment.

"Jun Linglong, you've trained for so long to grow by 30,000 catties of force, huh?"

A girl dressed in a blue dress waltzed in Jun Linglong's direction.

The girl looked very alluring, yet her words were very sharp.

"That's Lan Qingya, a follower of Jun Zhangjian, the Sequence Ten."

"She is of higher status than the other followers. I heard that Jun Zhangjian favored her a lot."

Lan Qingya was not a member of the Jun family. She was a follower recruited by Jun Zhangjian, the Sequence Ten, from outside the family.

Jun Linglong did not bother with her, but Lan Qingya kept jabbing her nonetheless. "Sir Zhangjian left a record of five million catties of force on the Old Tablet of Taiyue, you know. That's tens of times more than what you achieved here, but you turned him down all the same. It makes me wonder if you ever learned just how foolish you've been this whole time."

Lan Qingya was very irritated by Jun Linglong's aloofness.

Jun Zhangjian went out of his way to extend his offer and ask Jun Linglong to become his follower, yet she refused him all the same.

The way Lan Qingya saw it, Jun Linglong was just one of those pretentious b*tches out there.

"Jun Zhangjian is decent, but he's far from being the best. The one that I shall follow needs to be someone who could reign supreme over an era," Jun Linglong said casually.

No one knew that her Heart of Qiqiao Linglong came with another hidden ability—a premonition that let her catch a vague glimpse of the future.

Despite the surreal potency of that ability, however, it was not something that she could activate at will.

It was an ability that had only been triggered once her entire life.

She saw a vague, supreme-looking figure in the future, and it was a man dressed in white with his back facing everyone else.

Living beings of all kinds and races that had been around for eons all worshipped him behind his back, referring to him as the Heavenly Emperor Jun.

Jun Linglong immediately knew without a doubt that a true dragon was guaranteed to emerge from the Jun family in her generation. Whoever that was could reign supreme overall in her time.

Then again…

She had no idea from which sequence of the Jun family that Heavenly Emperor Jun, who was worshipped by all under providence in that future she saw, would emerge.

She ended up not becoming anyone's follower because of her doubt.

She had been waiting ever since for the man who most resembled that Heavenly Emperor Jun to emerge.

While Jun Zhangjian was very powerful due to his position of Sequence Ten, Jun Linglong didn't feel that he would eventually become such a figure.

Lan Qingya heard what Jun Linglong said and found her words to sound very absurd.

"Heh, reign supreme over all, huh? Do you have any idea how much nonsense is coming out of your mouth right now, Jun Linglong?"

Even the current person holding the position of Sequence One would never have dared to say something like that.

That was because they were then living in a world where capable people emerged from all corners of the world, where tens of thousands of races rose to prominence and geniuses mushroomed all over the realm. None of those geniuses dared to claim to be able to reign supreme over an era.

At that moment, a white crane was seen in the sky far away, attracting the attention of all who were present.

A figure who looked like a young god was seen sitting cross-legged on the back of that white crane.

The boy was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.

He had only made a breakthrough in all five stages of the Divine Treasure Stage, which meant that he had yet to gain the ability of flight. As such, he could only get to his destination riding on a crane.

"Who is that kid?"

"He looks very young. Is someone that young coming to the combat arena?"

The members of the younger generation of the Jun family chatted away.

Jun Xiaoyao had been spending all of his time in the Heavenly Emperor Palace ever since he was born, having never stepped outside to other areas with the Jun family.

Aside from the Eighteenth Ancestor, the group of elders of the family, and his birth mother Jiang Rou, nobody had ever seen Jun Xiaoyao before.

"Hmm? Is he…"

As Jun Linglong cast her eyes at that young boy on the bird, her Heart of Qiqiao Linglong shuddered.

This was the first time that her heart shuddered in so long.

"It can't be…" Jun Linglong's eyes widened as her intuition hit her.

The white crane landed easily and gracefully, and Jun Xiaoyao got off of the bird's back.

"What a handsome body indeed. Gosh, I wanna pinch his face so bad…" a girl from the Jun family said with glittering eyes.

Another very voluptuous girl from the Jun family stared at Jun Xiaoyao and said with a lecherous look, "He's so cute. I wanna ride him…"

Jun Xiaoyao felt rather creeped out with such intense gazes from desperate, thirsty girls from the Jun family being on him.

While his kidneys were no doubt very powerful, he was nonetheless still a boy at the age of three.

He had no intention of doing anything with his body that a boy his age should not be doing just yet.

"The kid's aura is extremely powerful. Is it just me, or does the kid seem to be more powerful than us?"

A young man from the Jun family couldn't help but ask right away, "Hey, kid. Which line of the Jun family are you from? Why haven't any of us seen you before?"

Jun Xiaoyao answered nonchalantly, "Of course none of you had seen me. This is the first time I came out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, after all."

"The first time out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace…"

As the young man mumbled to himself, he suddenly shuddered.

The Heavenly Emperor Palace was a place of residence reserved only for those who were of extremely high status in the Jun family.

The young man then looked are Jun Xiaoyao with unsteady eyes and said, "You…aren't you the one from three years ago…"

"Yeah, I'm Jun Xiaoyao," Jun Xiaoyao answered lazily.

Oh gosh!

The entire combat arena was thrown into a huge commotion as soon as they heard those words.

Jun Xiaoyao was considered the greatest mystery among those of the younger generation of the Jun family, as well as the youngest member among those of the highest status.

His birth three years ago woke the Eighteenth Ancestor, who proceeded to bestow him with the status of the divine child after all.

One could say that Jun Xiaoyao's current status was every bit on par with that of the ten sequences.

"Greetings, Sir Divine Child!"

Every single member of the Jun family present at the combat arena bowed to him right away.

Jun Linglong's eyes looked shifty, yet she bowed to Jun Xiaoyao all the same.

Lan Qingya's expression changed, as well. As a follower who was not of the Jun surname, she was even more reluctant to get on Jun Xiaoyao's bad side. As such, she bowed right away as well.

Jun Xiaoyao clicked his tongue and felt rather disappointed deep down, seeing how every member of the Jun family that was present bowed to him.

"This can't be right. According to how things would usually go, shouldn't there be someone who doubts my status? Someone I'd teach a lesson right away? How am I gonna brag when everyone just submits to me like that?"

Jun Xiaoyao felt like punching into a bale of cotton, where his attack felt like it had done nothing.

He wanted to desperately find someone he could show his mettle and brag to. To put it more politely, he just wanted someone he could spar with.

Then again, he still underestimated the impact of his status as the divine child all.

None of the people present in the arena would probably dare to disrespect him at all.

"All right, whatever. Since no one's here to pick fights with me, I guess I'll just check in instead."

With a slight shake of his head, Jun Xiaoyao went up to the Old Tablet of Taiyue.

Just then, he quickly heard a mechanical voice inside his mind.

"Ding, you have reached the check-in location of Old Tablet of Taiyue. Confirm check-in?"

"Check-in," Jun Xiaoyao mumbled to himself.
