Jun family, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in a secluded cultivation chamber.
Surrounding him were piles of numerous peerless Divine Origins, releasing an endless and rich spiritual energy.
In the Immortal Realm, ordinary martial cultivators used common Origin Stones for cultivation.
Cultivators from some top-tier orthodoxies and first-rate powers would use the more precious Heaven Origins for cultivation.
Only powers like ancient aristocratic families, supreme orthodoxies, and immortal imperial dynasties could afford to use the most precious Divine Origins.
Above Divine Origins, there were also Immortal Origins, but those were things one might encounter but not seek, and even ancient aristocratic families couldn't produce many.
Origin Stones of different rarities all had four grades: low, medium, high, and peerless.
What Jun Xiaoyao used for cultivation was the most top-tier peerless Divine Origin, second only to Immortal Origins.
It could be said that if Jun Xiaoyao casually took out a peerless Divine Origin, it would cause a group of people in the outside world to fight to the death for it.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao sat with his eyes closed.
Within his mind, there was a radiant and magnificent palace.
This was precisely the Divine Palace condensed from soul power.
The five realms of the physical body and the five realms of Shenzang were all about cultivating the physical body to its extreme.
The nine heavens of the Spirit Sea Realm were for cultivating the Dantian's Spirit Sea, which concerned the immensity of magical power.
And the nine heavens of the Divine Palace Realm were for cultivating the Divine Palace, strengthening the soul.
Once Jun Xiaoyao broke through to the True Spirit Realm.
Within the Divine Palace, a True Spirit would be nurtured. At that time, his soul power would once again surge dramatically.
In the future, he could even transform the True Spirit into a Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit), detach from his physical body, and roam the four seas and eight desolaces.
"This Chaotic Divine Millstone Visualization Method is indeed extraordinary..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Within his mind, it was as if a chaotic world had been derived.
Within the chaos, a giant, boundless divine millstone slowly turned, grinding the heavens and earth.
The divine millstone was stained with patches of blood, like the blood of gods and demons.
This Chaotic Divine Millstone Visualization Method relied on visualizing the divine millstone, crushing one's consciousness and soul, and then reshaping them.
Jun Xiaoyao's soul, in this process of destruction and rebirth, became increasingly condensed and robust.
"If an ordinary person were to cultivate this technique, they would definitely be tortured to a state worse than death. But for me, it doesn't seem too difficult," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
Perhaps it was because his soul had transmigrated, so his soul power was far superior to that of ordinary people.
This Chaotic Divine Millstone was of great help to him but did not bring him pain.
"Moreover, as my cultivation deepens later, I can even directly derive the Chaotic Divine Millstone with my soul power as a means of fighting enemies."
"I can endure that kind of pain, but others probably can't," Jun Xiaoyao tutted.
It seemed he had gained another powerful trump card.
At the same time, above Huangzhou.
A Fire Spirit Sparrow pulled a magnificent carriage, flying through the void with flapping wings, leaving a brilliant tail flame.
This attracted the attention of many people.
"Huh, that carriage has a Vermilion Bird totem. It seems to be a carriage from the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?"
"That's right. It's rumored that members of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom's imperial family use Fire Spirit Sparrows to pull their carriages. Could it be that widely renowned imperial daughter, Bai Yu'er?"
"Looking at the direction it's heading, it's the Jun family!"
The arrival of this carriage sparked much discussion among the people.
Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the Jun family's residence.
Above the entire Jun family's territory, apart from Jun family members themselves, if people from other powers dared to rashly cross the sky, they would be considered invaders and directly obliterated.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a tall, slender beautiful woman with long legs, dressed in a red feathered robe, stepped out. It was precisely Bai Yu'er.
She had come alone this time, without any attendants.
Bai Yu'er looked around. Within the Jun family's residence, countless divine islands floated in the void, and various grotto-heavens and blessed lands emitted radiant glows.
This shocked Bai Yu'er to her core.
Although the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was also a first-rate power with a far-reaching reputation, compared to the ancient aristocratic Jun family, it was still like a small sorcerer meeting a great one, not much of a comparison.
But then, a hint of confidence and faint disdain appeared at the corners of Bai Yu'er's lips.
So what if the Jun family was transcendent?
That prodigy of the Jun family, wasn't he still lusting after her body, wanting to give her an Immortal Divine Herb?
However, Bai Yu'er had already made up her mind not to easily give her body to that Jun family prodigy.
After all, she was engaged.
If something happened then, wouldn't it make the Eldest Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom a cuckold?
After thinking it through, Bai Yu'er walked forward.
The Jun family entrance was guarded by Jun family guards, as imposing as iron towers, their vital energy and blood surging.
"Halt! State your name."
A Jun family guard said indifferently.
"I am the imperial daughter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, Bai Yu'er, here to see Jun Linglong," Bai Yu'er said in a light tone.
"Visiting our noble lady? Do you have a token? If not, then scram," the Jun family guard said apathetically.
Bai Yu'er's delicate face froze.
She was an imperial daughter of a kingdom, yet even a gate guard of the Jun family dared to scold her like this.
However, she had come with a request this time, so she could only patiently take out the jade slip she used to communicate with Jun Linglong.
"Go in." The Jun family guard waved his hand indifferently.
Bai Yu'er bit her lip. Her status as an imperial daughter seemed so insignificant before the Jun family.
On the other side, Jun Linglong had also found Jun Xiaoyao.
"Lord Divine Son, she has arrived," Jun Linglong said.
"Let's go take a look at this imperial daughter."
Jun Xiaoyao stood up, dressed in a white robe, divinely handsome and elegant. Though only eight years old, his figure was tall and slender like a youth.
Over here, Bai Yu'er walked into a courtyard as beautiful as a fairyland.
Jun Linglong had arranged to meet her here.
Not long after, Bai Yu'er heard footsteps and looked over.
She saw a tall and slender youth, his skin like immortal jade, slowly strolling over.
He seemed like the son of a deity, with a divine posture and jade-like bones, an unparalleled handsome face, and a thin layer of brilliance enveloping his entire body.
Bai Yu'er was stunned.
She had seen no small number of heaven-gifted proud sons and young talents, all handsome and dashing.
But compared to the youth before her, they were like fireflies to the bright moon, loaches to a true dragon, simply incomparable.
Even her fiancé, the Eldest Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, who was also handsome and exceptionally talented, still appeared dim and lackluster compared to the youth before her.
Beside Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong, in her palace dress, followed half a step behind him.
Seeing this detail, Bai Yu'er took a deep breath.
Jun Linglong was a noble lady of the Jun family, an existence even she had to curry favor with. But now, how did it seem like she had become an attendant or maidservant?
"What is the origin of this Jun family prodigy? Could he be a Sequence?" Bai Yu'er's heart surged with astonishment.
"You are Bai Yu'er?" Jun Xiaoyao asked faintly.
"Precisely." Bai Yu'er curtsied slightly, but she was very reserved.
She had also come back to her senses.
So what if the youth before her was transcendent? Wasn't he still scheming for her?
Since that was the case, she didn't need to be too humble and lower her own status.
"You wish to request an Immortal Divine Herb to save your father?" Jun Xiaoyao continued.
"That's right. I hope Young Master will show kindness and lend a helping hand," Bai Yu'er said calmly, her tone devoid of any humility.
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.
Why did this attitude feel...
Not quite right.
It was as if she wasn't here to beg for medicine at all, but to demand it as her due.
"Oh? But can you give me a reason? After all, Immortal Divine Herbs don't just fall from the sky," Jun Xiaoyao said in a light tone.
Bai Yu'er's jade-like face froze slightly, then a faint sneer touched the corners of her lips.
Indeed, he has a motive?
However, Bai Yu'er would naturally not use herself as a condition to exchange for the Immortal Divine Herb.
She said, "Young Master is an extraordinary person and must hold a high position in the Jun family. You should not be lacking Immortal Divine Herbs. And if Young Master offers one Immortal Divine Herb, you can save a life."
"Not only that, saving my Imperial Father means saving the lives of billions of citizens of the entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom."
"For Young Master, this is merely a slight effort, yet you can gain merit and a good reputation. Is Young Master unwilling to do even this?"
Bai Yu'er spoke, standing on the moral high ground.
Jun Xiaoyao had the ability to help, so why not help?
With great power comes great responsibility, isn't that so?
Hearing these somewhat familiar words, Jun Xiaoyao actually felt like laughing.
"So there's a day I too would be morally kidnapped?" Jun Xiaoyao was instantly speechless.
