Chapter 15: The Person Blessed with Fortune

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

Within the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, waves of magical energy and booming sounds could be heard from time to time.

All members of the Jun family knew that Jun Xiaoyao had broken through once again.

At first, many of the Jun family's younger generation were amazed by Jun Xiaoyao's speed of breakthroughs.

But now, they had grown accustomed to it.

If he didn't have such a breakthrough speed, the Jun family members would actually find it strange.

During this half-year period, Bai Yuer had been kneeling outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace the entire time.

Her complexion had turned pale, her body emaciated, and she had lost a lot of weight compared to more than half a year ago.

As a cultivator, she wouldn't starve to death from not eating for over half a year, but she would become weak.

Now, she no longer had the demeanor of a proud princess from a nation.

She seemed like a humble and lowly slave, begging for Jun Xiaoyao's forgiveness.

Throughout this time, Jun Xiaoyao had completely ignored her. Even when he walked out of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace and encountered her, he wouldn't spare her a glance, as if she didn't exist.

In response, Bai Yuer could only manage a self-deprecating smile.

This was her own doing; she deserved it.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, cultivating.

With a resounding boom, his aura surged to its peak, breaking through once more.

"I've broken through to the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Palace," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Starting from the Five Realms of the Physical Body, he had gone through the Five Realms of Divine Concealment, the Nine Heavens of the Spiritual Sea, and now reached the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Palace.

At just eight years old, Jun Xiaoyao had broken through a total of twenty-eight cultivation realms in these eight years.

This was truly terrifying.

Generally speaking, even some prodigies would need around twenty years to break through so many realms.

Jun Xiaoyao accomplished it in just eight years.

"Not enough. By the time of my tenth birthday banquet, I must at least break through to the True Spirit Realm," Jun Xiaoyao said to himself.

He had a premonition that his tenth birthday banquet would not be so peaceful.

"Right, I also need to deal with the matter of the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom."

Then, Jun Xiaoyao directly sent a voice transmission to Jun Linglong.

Moments later, Jun Linglong pushed the door open and entered.

Jun Xiaoyao flipped his wrist and took out a precious herb that was purple and resembled a qilin from his spatial ring.

It was the Qilin Immortal Herb.

If this herb were to be placed in the outside world, it would cause a bloodbath, with countless people scrambling to seize it.

"Lord Son, what are you planning to do..." Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes flashed.

Could it be that Jun Xiaoyao was finally going to deal with the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom?

"Linglong, go to the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom for me and tell the Zhuque monarch that if he is willing to submit to me, I will give him this Qilin Immortal Herb to save his life."

As he spoke, Jun Xiaoyao handed the Qilin Immortal Herb to Jun Linglong.

"I will definitely get it done. I will go tell Bai Yuer right away," Jun Linglong said.

Bai Yuer had been kneeling outside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace for over half a year, which could be seen as sincere repentance, and Jun Linglong had noticed it.

"Wait, don't tell Bai Yuer yet. Let her continue kneeling. This matter regarding the herb cannot be disclosed to Bai Yuer either," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.

He planned to let Bai Yuer kneel for a full year before saying anything.

Finally, just when she was about to lose all hope, she would hear the news that her father had been cured.

At that time, one could only imagine how Bai Yuer would feel.

She would definitely be wholeheartedly loyal to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a villain?" Jun Xiaoyao rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Jun Linglong, being very clever, also thought of this point.

She couldn't help but admire Jun Xiaoyao's methods even more.

A prodigy with only brute strength would find it hard to reach the end.

Only a prodigy who combines both strength and wisdom has the qualification to reach the peak.

After that, Jun Linglong left the Heavenly Emperor's Palace and found an elder protector from her lineage, preparing to head to the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom.

The protector was an old woman. Seeing how Jun Linglong had been busy for Jun Xiaoyao over the years, she couldn't help but feel a bit pained and spoke up.

"Miss, is it really worth it to do this? The Son might only see you as a maid."

"Granny Hua, please don't say such things anymore. The achievements of Lord Son in the future are beyond your imagination."

"Even if I am just a maid, Linglong would be content," Jun Linglong replied.

Granny Hua sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

She naturally couldn't know that Jun Linglong had glimpsed a glimpse of the future.

Being a maid to the future Heavenly Emperor didn't seem so bad...

Jun Linglong and Granny Hua hurriedly made their way to the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in the wasteland of the Celestial Domain, in one of the three thousand states, Cangzhou.

Cangzhou was adjacent to Huozhou, with a similar area.

The one that dominated Cangzhou was the top-tier Dao lineage, the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom.

Unlike the increasingly weakened Zhuque Ancient Kingdom, the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom's national strength was on the rise, showing signs of becoming the foremost among the four ancient kingdoms.

At this moment, in the palace of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom, within a grand hall.

A young man dressed in a four-clawed Qinglong robe was kneeling on the ground.

He had a handsome and refined appearance, quite pleasing to the eye, and appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old.

His cultivation had already reached the Divine Palace Realm.

In the ancient families, reaching the Divine Palace Realm at this age was considered a genius.

Not to mention, looking at the outside world, he was undoubtedly a prodigy.

He was none other than Bai Yuer's fiancé, the crown prince of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom, Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes were blood-red, his face bearing a suppressed expression of anger as he spoke to the figure shrouded in endless magical light on the throne.

"Father, please grant me an Immortal Herb to send to the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom!"

On the throne, the monarch of the Qinglong Kingdom sat, his magical power resonating, seemingly coalescing into a dragon form, exuding an overwhelming aura.

He spoke indifferently, "My son, our Qinglong Ancient Kingdom only has one Qilin Immortal Herb, which has been passed down from our ancestors. How could we possibly give it to the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom?"

"But Yuer is kneeling and being humiliated in the Jun family. As her fiancé, how can I bear this?"

Xiao Chen's anger flared, his fingers clenched tightly into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, causing sharp pain.

The news of Bai Yuer kneeling before the Jun family's Son had already spread.

Many people were curious about the mysterious Son of the Jun family while also laughing at the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom.

What kind of humiliation was it for his fiancée to kneel before another man’s palace?

Not to mention that Bai Yuer was his childhood sweetheart; how could Xiao Chen swallow this humiliation?

"My son, you must be patient. The matter of the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom is something your father will consider," the monarch of the Qinglong Kingdom said calmly.

"What’s so great about the Jun family’s Son? He relies on his background to bully others!"

"Is he even human for humiliating a woman?" Xiao Chen retorted angrily.

He wouldn't even think about what Bai Yuer had done wrong.

How could his fiancée possibly be at fault? It must all be Jun Xiaoyao's fault.

"Enough! Do not speak recklessly about this matter. Leave now; the Jun family is not someone you have the right to criticize," the monarch of the Qinglong Kingdom frowned.

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and turned to leave the hall.

"Just wait. What’s so great about the Jun family’s Son? Once I cultivate that move, I will go to the Jun family to bring back Yuer and teach that Son a lesson."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the coiling dragon ring on his finger.

This coiling dragon ring was something passed down to him by his deceased mother.

Years ago, this ring began to transmit powerful techniques and pure magical energy to him.

Because of this, Xiao Chen had the talent and strength he possessed today.

"With the coiling dragon ring left by my mother, even that Jun family Son, I can step on him in the future!"

Xiao Chen's expression was cold and fierce, filled with mysterious confidence.
