Looking at Xiao Chen, who had directly fainted from anger.
All the Jun family disciples in the martial arts arena shivered.
Jun Xiaoyao's strength was formidable, and his tongue was no less sharp.
With just a few words, he had angered Xiao Chen to the point of nearly dying on the spot.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed faintly, somewhat speechless.
What he said was indeed the truth.
Generally speaking, people like Xiao Chen, who were blessed by fortune, would usually experience an explosion of their microcosm after their cultivation was crippled and their talents were seized.
All sorts of fortuitous encounters would follow, and then they would grow all the way, sweeping through all directions.
Thinking this way, Jun Xiaoyao was indeed doing Xiao Chen a favor.
"Someone come and throw him out of the mountain gate," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.
Soon, Jun family guards came and dragged away the unconscious Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Jun Zhantian's figure suddenly manifested from the void.
"Grandpa." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He had long sensed that Jun Zhantian and other clan elders were watching him from behind the scenes.
"Xiaoyao, you should know, wildflowers cannot be burned out by a prairie fire; they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. To cut grass, one must remove the roots," Jun Zhantian's face was slightly stern.
He was afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would develop a habit of arrogance and underestimating his enemies.
Letting an enemy go like this was not a wise decision.
"Heh, Grandpa, rest assured. Grandson has his own plans," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
Didn't Jun Xiaoyao know the principle of cutting the grass and removing the roots?
However, the current Xiao Chen was like a leek to him, to be harvested when needed.
Jun Xiaoyao had only harvested the dragon qi; he was far from exhausting Xiao Chen's fortune value.
Harvesting him batch by batch, wasn't that more enjoyable?
When he finally had no more value to harvest, Jun Xiaoyao would naturally swat this fly dead.
"It's good that you have a plan in mind. Such a minor character can't stir up any big waves. There's still a year left; you need to prepare well," Jun Zhantian said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.
What Jun Zhantian was referring to was naturally his tenth birthday banquet.
At that time, the Jun family would widely invite powers from all four directions of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm. It would undoubtedly be a world-renowned grand feast.
Even Jun Xiaoyao's maternal clan, the Ancient Aristocratic Jiang Family, would send people.
And his mother, Jiang Rou, had always wanted to push the Jiang family's cherished pearl onto Jun Xiaoyao.
Furthermore, the Jun family would also announce his Sequence Zero status at his tenth birthday banquet.
At that time, the Jun family would surely experience another intense upheaval, and all the major Sequences would definitely react.
Therefore, Jun Zhantian wanted Jun Xiaoyao to be well-prepared.
"Grandpa, rest assured. I will definitely not disappoint you, Mother, the Eighteenth Ancestor, and the others," Jun Xiaoyao said with a determined tone.
He hadn't forgotten that he also had a chance to sign in at the tenth birthday banquet.
The reward obtained then might be of great help to his strength improvement.
"Grandpa naturally believes in you." Jun Zhantian smiled with satisfaction.
After this incident, Jun Xiaoyao also returned to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, preparing to thoroughly refine this dragon qi.
Bai Yu'er also temporarily stayed in the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
She had also obtained a small portion of the dragon qi, plus the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire she possessed.
Bai Yu'er's talent and strength would surge.
Most importantly, she was now completely devoted to following Jun Xiaoyao.
Compared to Jun Xiaoyao, who was laden with gains.
Xiao Chen was quite miserable at this moment.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself already outside the Jun family's mountain gate.
"Cough, cough..."
Xiao Chen struggled to get up. His body was covered in wounds, and he had many internal injuries. His meridians were completely crippled, and his bones were broken.
It could be said he was miserable to the extreme.
Outside the Jun family's mountain gate, many cultivators were also watching the excitement.
After all, Xiao Chen had entered the Jun family very arrogantly before.
But it hadn't been long before he was thrown out in such a wretched state.
"That Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom prince has been crippled?"
"Probably. He looks just like a dog."
"Serves him right for being blind and daring to provoke the Jun family's Divine Son. His fiancée probably ran off too. He deserves it!"
The surrounding cultivators who were watching the excitement all sneered and looked at him with disdain.
Xiao Chen's fists clenched tightly as he walked out step by step.
Only after he was out of the crowd's sight did Xiao Chen tilt his head back and roar, repeatedly smashing his fists against an ancient tree in front of him.
"Damn it! Jun Xiaoyao, if there's even a sliver of a chance, I will repay today's pain to you a thousandfold, a hundredfold!"
Just as Xiao Chen was roaring, the blood on his body unknowingly soaked the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger.
"Do all descendants of my Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom lack ambition like you?"
Suddenly, an aged voice sounded.
"Who is it?" Xiao Chen's gaze swept around.
But in the next moment, his gaze fell on the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger.
The ring suddenly flashed with an azure light.
Immediately, an illusory figure of an old man with white eyebrows, dressed in an azure dragon robe, suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
"You, you are..." Xiao Chen's eyes widened as he looked at the old man before him.
The old man even had two dragon horns on his head.
In a daze, Xiao Chen felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere before.
"Hehe, have my descendants already forgotten this old man?" The azure-robed, dragon-horned old man chuckled.
"You are... the founding ancestor of my Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, the Azure Dragon Reverend!" A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Xiao Chen's mind, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
He finally remembered.
This old man's appearance was identical to the statue of the founding ancestor erected in the imperial palace of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom!
And this founding ancestor, the Azure Dragon Reverend, according to historical records, was a Quasi-Supreme!
Just half a step away from truly stepping into the Supreme Realm!
What a powerful realm that was, just one step away from the true, unsurpassed Supreme Realm.
"Xiao Chen, Eldest Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, greets the Ancestor!" Xiao Chen's face showed excitement, his whole body trembling.
He hadn't expected that the Coiling Dragon Ring, his mother's relic, actually housed the soul of the founding ancestor.
Indeed, heaven never seals off all paths!
The Azure Dragon Reverend looked at Xiao Chen and said, "This venerable one awakened several years ago. Sensing that you are the current Son of Fortune of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, I provided you with magical power and various resources. Unexpectedly, you still lost to that Jun family Divine Son."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face showed a cold and resentful expression as he said, "Ancestor, why didn't you directly intervene back then and suppress that Jun Xiaoyao?"
"Hmph, ignorant! If this venerable one had intervened then, the result would be that neither you nor I would have been able to walk out of the Jun family!" the Azure Dragon Reverend coldly rebuked.
He had actually always been relatively satisfied with Xiao Chen's performance, but now, Xiao Chen's mind was in disarray.
"Ancestor, you are a Quasi-Supreme! Can't you even make the Jun family apprehensive?" Xiao Chen asked, unwilling to accept it.
The Azure Dragon Reverend shook his head and said, "Let alone that this venerable one's current strength is not even one-tenth of what it was, even at my peak, I couldn't do anything to the Jun family. Ancient aristocratic families are not as simple as you imagine."
"In that case, doesn't it mean I'll never be able to take revenge for the rest of my life..." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.
He himself was crippled, and the Azure Dragon Reverend couldn't help him either.
"Don't be discouraged. You are the Son of Fortune. The Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom will still need you in the future. This venerable one will not let you end up so dismally," the Azure Dragon Reverend said.
"I implore the Ancestor to help! No matter what the cost, this junior is willing!" Xiao Chen said with firm conviction.
A look of gratification appeared in the Azure Dragon Reverend's eyes as he took out an azure scroll.
"Although your meridians and cultivation have been crippled, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. This Quasi-Supreme cultivation technique, the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art, was cultivated by this venerable one in the past. It is just right to impart it to you."
"Azure Sky Dragon Transformation, no destruction, no establishment!"
Hearing this, the flames of hope re-ignited in Xiao Chen's originally despairing eyes.
His entire being seemed to have revived, his fighting spirit soaring!
"Jun Xiaoyao, your biggest mistake was being too arrogant and complacent, leaving me a path to survive!"
"This enmity, I, Xiao Chen, will definitely repay a hundredfold!"
