Tianling Daozhou, Shengling City.
This vast and boundless city is the location of the Shengling Academy.
The entire city is named after the Shengling Academy.
From a distance, Shengling City appears expansive, with towering city walls.
From the side, it also reveals the long-standing heritage of the Shengling Academy.
At this moment, ancient beasts soar in the sky, exotic creatures pull carriages, and floating airships traverse the void.
On the ground, a dense flow of people gathers like rivers converging into the sea, all heading towards Shengling City.
Once a year, the Tiandao Tower opens, marking a grand event for young prodigies.
Even though many do not qualify to enter the Tiandao Tower, it does not deter them from coming to admire the top young talents of this generation.
"I wonder how many young heroes and holy sons and daughters will come this time..." a young man gazed up at the sky and said.
"I heard that the Jun family's divine son is coming. I rushed here from Cangyuan Prefecture just to catch a glimpse of him," a beautiful girl at the city gate said, looking up with anticipation.
"Sister, are you also here to see my family's divine son?" another beautiful girl struck up a conversation.
"What do you mean, your divine son? He's not yours!" another girl pouted and glared.
A group of girls joined the argument, causing a small commotion.
"Tsk tsk, the popularity of the Jun family's divine son is terrifying!" some male cultivators observed, revealing expressions of envy and jealousy.
At this moment, on a pavilion, a handsome young man in a blue robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, watched this scene with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Sitting across from him was an old servant, Fu Bo.
This young man was, of course, Ye Xingyun.
He had also come to the Tiandao Tower this time.
"Young Master Xingyun, the master said, you must not provoke the divine son this time; the Ye family cannot afford to lose face," Fu Bo said.
As the saying goes, things should not happen more than three times.
At the ten-year banquet, Ye Xingyun lost face for the first time.
At the Panwu Divine Dynasty banquet, he lost face for the second time.
If he provoked Jun Xiaoyao again at the Tiandao Tower and got slapped in the face, where would the Ye family's dignity go?
Although the Ye family had more than one prodigy, being repeatedly humiliated would still be a blow to their reputation.
"Rest assured, this time I am simply here to seek opportunities at the Tiandao Tower," Ye Xingyun's expression returned to calm, his gaze deep.
He felt that this time at the Tiandao Tower, he would gain great opportunities.
Perhaps he would awaken many memories.
Including that magnificent star palace in his memory.
If he could remember where that star palace was, he could go search for it and obtain the opportunities within.
By then, his strength would soar, easily surpassing Jun Xiaoyao.
"The master said that once Ye Guchen is born, my Ye family will be renowned throughout the Huangtian Immortal Domain, with no rivals among the younger generation," Fu Bo said.
"That sword demon reincarnated? He has been in seclusion and has never appeared," Ye Xingyun replied.
He felt a sense of unwillingness; if he could obtain opportunities, he would not be weaker than that sword demon reincarnated.
...
Time passed slowly.
At a certain moment, outside Shengling City, golden light shone from afar, accompanied by a faint lion's roar.
Purple qi spread, as if a qilin was neighing.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
At that moment, all beings in Shengling City, whether human or ancient race, looked up at the sky in unison.
The prominent figures of the Huangtian Immortal Domain were finally arriving.
Boom!
A nine-headed lion stepped through the sky, rushing towards them.
On it stood a group of people, with a transcendent figure in white leading the way, untainted by the mundane world.
His appearance was shrouded in celestial brilliance, yet a glimpse of his features could still be seen.
But even that glimpse was enough to send many female cultivators who had traveled from afar into a frenzy.
Screams filled the air.
"Hey, is that beside him the Jun family's first sequence, Jun Lingcang?" some people noticed.
Jun Lingcang stood on a qilin beast, hands behind his back, his eyes covered, handsome and elegant.
"That重瞳者 from the Jun family is also quite handsome, but unfortunately, he stands next to the divine son," some girls said, their eyes showing a hint of admiration, but still shaking their heads slightly.
Without Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Lingcang would naturally be the most eye-catching one.
But alas, even the moon pales in comparison to the sun.
"Cousin, your popularity is a bit terrifying," even Jun Lingcang found it somewhat speechless.
As the first sequence of the Jun family, wherever he went, he was the center of attention.
Yet now, all the spotlight was stolen by Jun Xiaoyao.
"This is just their basic operation; don't mind it," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
He had grown accustomed to this group of adorable fans.
However, at this moment, a group of young men and women approached, each exuding a strong aura.
"They're disciples of the Shengling Academy..." the surrounding crowd parted.
"The Jun family's divine son has just arrived in Shengling City, and these academy disciples can't hold back?" a cultivator remarked.
It was already well-known that Jun Xiaoyao had defeated Ji Xuan.
It was understandable that these academy disciples held animosity towards him.
However, among that group of academy disciples, the female disciples were hesitating.
They looked at Jun Xiaoyao's figure in the sky, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
So what if he was bad?
Being handsome was enough.
In fact, the more handsome and bad he was, the more they loved him.
"I've decided; I won't oppose the Jun family's divine son anymore," one female disciple of the academy stopped and bit her lip, declaring.
"Me too! The Jun family's divine son defeated Senior Brother Ji Xuan; there must be a reason," another girl said earnestly.
"That's right, I think so too. Senior Brother Ji Xuan must have provoked the divine son, and the divine son had no choice but to defeat him."
"Could it be that Senior Brother Ji Xuan did something wrong, and the divine son punished him?"
The female disciples of the academy increasingly felt that this was the case.
If Ji Xuan were present and heard this, he would likely be furious to the point of fainting.
"I've decided, sisters, I'm switching sides!" one female disciple of the academy clapped her hands.
This action drew unanimous agreement from all the female disciples.
"Is this even possible?"
The male disciples nearby looked on in shock.
Weren't they supposed to stand united against the enemy?
Weren't they supposed to target the evil Jun family's divine son?
This betrayal was too swift!
In the sky, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent.
He had never cared about the Shengling Academy.
If it weren't for the matter concerning the Supreme Bone's transformation, he might not have even come if the Shengling Academy invited him.
"The Shengling Academy better not provoke my patience; otherwise, each of you will follow in Ji Xuan's footsteps," Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.
Below, although the female disciples had given up their resistance, the male disciples still held animosity towards Jun Xiaoyao.
"Jun Xiaoyao, you harmed Senior Brother Ji Xuan and still have the face to come to our academy!"
"Exactly! If you have guts, don't enter the Tiandao Tower!"
Faced with the shouts of the academy's male disciples, Jun Xiaoyao said nothing.
The nine-headed lion let out a thunderous roar.
This was its lineage's divine ability, the Lion's Roar!
Roar!
As the sound fell, golden sound waves spread, and the male disciples of the academy were all knocked to the ground, each with splitting headaches and blood flowing from their seven orifices.
Some even lost control and wet themselves, emitting a foul odor from fear!
"This is the strength of the Shengling Academy disciples? They should go home and drink milk," Jun Xiaoyao said with a cold smile.
The nine-headed lion carried them to their destination.
Leaving behind a group of disheveled academy disciples.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes wide, the surroundings dead quiet.
Logically, if Jun Xiaoyao wanted to enter the Tiandao Tower peacefully, he should find a way to reconcile with the Shengling Academy.
Why did it feel like Jun Xiaoyao was even more dismissive of the Shengling Academy now?
