The matter of the duel at Mount Wenda has finally come to a conclusion.
Princess Longji and her companions directly rode the Dragon Palace away, not pausing for even a moment.
The forces of the Ancient Royal Clan, such as the Ancestral Dragon Nest, wore expressions of deep displeasure, their faces dark to the extreme.
If it weren't for witnessing it with their own eyes, who could have imagined that Princess Longji would suffer such a crushing defeat?
The beings of the Ancestral Dragon Nest and other Heavenly Valley royal clans also left in a dejected manner.
Simultaneously, the Fallen God Palace also wore a grim expression.
The Fallen Son died because of Jun Xiaoyao, and they had come here intending to see him humiliated.
Instead, they witnessed Jun Xiaoyao displaying his overwhelming power.
Such terrifying strength explains why the Fallen Son fell; his death was not unjust.
Additionally, some elders and disciples from the Ancient Ji and Ancient Ye families also bore serious expressions.
Although they had no significant enmity with the Jun family, they were still in a competitive relationship.
With Jun Xiaoyao, this extraordinary being, existing, their own talents would struggle to gain any advantages in future opportunities, including the opening of the Emperor's Path.
Jun Xiaoyao alone was enough to overshadow the other talents of this grand era.
The Wang family from the Northern Lands also felt a hint of pressure.
"He is surprisingly strong, but it's fine; my brother will definitely not be weaker than him," Wang Gang muttered, his face tense.
His brother, Wang Teng, possessed the demeanor of an emperor and was known as the Young Emperor.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's performance shocked Wang Gang, he still believed in his brother.
The surrounding forces, aside from the Ancient Royal Clan, had not yet dispersed.
They were still immersed in the overwhelming aura that Jun Xiaoyao had displayed earlier.
On the side of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, a general's expression changed as he approached Wu Mingyue and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, about the Panhuang Sword..."
The general clearly intended for Wu Mingyue to speak up and see if they could retrieve the Panhuang Sword.
After all, it was the imperial weapon of the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
Previously, when Wu Mingyue was in the Holy Spirit Academy's Holy Spirit City, she had been relatively close to Jun Xiaoyao.
They believed that Wu Mingyue and Jun Xiaoyao might have already turned hostility into friendship.
In truth, no one knew that the real relationship between Wu Mingyue and Jun Xiaoyao was that of master and servant.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had lifted Wu Mingyue's slave seal, she still maintained the demeanor of a maid.
"No need to say more; this princess will not speak. If it were you, would you easily give your imperial weapon to someone else?"
Wu Mingyue's words left the general speechless.
Indeed.
Although the Panhuang Sword was nominally the property of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, it was now in Jun Xiaoyao's possession.
To think that a single sentence could compel Jun Xiaoyao to hand over the Panhuang Sword was overly naive.
Jun Xiaoyao also noticed this from the corner of his eye.
His gaze flickered slightly as he turned to Jun Zhantian and the other clan elders, saying, "Grandfather, esteemed elders, I will first hand over this Panhuang Sword to the family."
After speaking, Jun Xiaoyao directly summoned the Panhuang Sword and handed it to Jun Zhantian.
"This..."
The many elders of the Jun family were momentarily taken aback.
If Jun Xiaoyao hadn't spoken, no one would have forced him to hand over the imperial weapon to the family.
But Jun Xiaoyao took the initiative to offer it.
Jun Zhantian's old eyes also flashed with understanding; he grasped Jun Xiaoyao's intention.
Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao was publicly handing over the imperial weapon.
First, it was to clear away trouble.
After all, no one would carry an imperial weapon around every day.
It felt akin to someone running around with a mountain of gold on their back.
Although no one dared to casually attempt to seize it due to Jun Xiaoyao's status, the fear of thieves is not just about being robbed but also about being targeted.
No one could guarantee that some crazed powerful being wouldn't take a desperate gamble to snatch the imperial weapon.
Even with A Jiu guarding him, safety could not be guaranteed one hundred percent.
Secondly, it was to silence the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
By handing the imperial weapon to the Jun family, the Panwu Divine Dynasty could only confront the Jun family.
Given the Jun family's foundation, they clearly would not fear the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
With this move, Jun Xiaoyao completely shook off the trouble.
Moreover, there was another point: if he continuously relied on the imperial weapon, it would not be beneficial for Jun Xiaoyao's own strength enhancement.
No matter how powerful the imperial weapon, it was still an external object.
What Jun Xiaoyao primarily needed was to rely on his own strength.
"Alright, Xiaoyao, this imperial weapon will be temporarily kept by the family for you," Jun Zhantian said as he accepted the Panhuang Sword.
The elders all wore smiles as bright as chrysanthemums.
Jun Xiaoyao not only brought glory to the Jun family but also presented them with such a rare and precious imperial weapon.
Of course, the Panhuang Sword still belonged to Jun Xiaoyao; the Jun family was merely holding it temporarily.
"I wonder who would still dare to say that Xiaoyao hasn't contributed to the family," Jun Zhantian snorted, feeling extremely proud of his grandson.
Jun Daolin, Jun Xiyu, and others felt somewhat awkward and lowered their heads.
Previously, when Jun Xiaoyao received various resources from the Jun family for cultivation, they had been somewhat dissatisfied, believing he had not contributed much to the family.
But now?
Not only had he helped the Jun family gain prestige, but he had also brought them an imperial weapon that was rare in the world.
This was something that no other member of the Jun family could achieve.
In an instant, the few members of the Jun family who had harbored discontent towards Jun Xiaoyao felt ashamed and lowered their heads.
On the side of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, the general saw Jun Xiaoyao handing the imperial weapon to the Jun family, and their expressions turned extremely grim, feeling utterly helpless.
If Jun Xiaoyao had controlled the imperial weapon, perhaps they could have negotiated.
But now, who would dare to approach the Jun family to demand the sword?
"Haha, the strength of the Holy Son is indeed formidable; today has truly opened our eyes," the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Academy said with a smile.
He now truly felt that the decisions made by the president and others were incredibly wise.
Now that Jun Xiaoyao was still the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy, he was connected to the academy.
With a future powerhouse like Jun Xiaoyao present, the Holy Spirit Academy could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
Hua Xiqing's beautiful eyes also sparkled with intense admiration; today's battle made her even more infatuated with Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled; he understood well the importance he held for the Holy Spirit Academy now.
"Alright, everyone, we've seen enough of the excitement; let's disperse," Jun Xiaoyao said as he looked around.
He knew that many forces were deliberately here to watch the Jun family's joke.
However, Jun Xiaoyao didn't care; as long as his strength was sufficient, it was enough to deter all petty threats.
"Hehe, the might of the Holy Son is truly astonishing!"
"Indeed, it seems that in the future, the younger generation of the Immortal Domain will regard the Holy Son with respect."
The elders and cultivators from various surrounding forces clasped their hands, their tones filled with flattery.
Today's battle would undoubtedly stir up great waves in the Archaic Heaven Immortal Domain.
Soon after, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the Jun family.
Jiang Shengyi and other members of the Jiang family also accompanied them.
After all, with Jun Xiaoyao showcasing his might, the Jiang family shared in the glory.
The other various forces also dispersed.
But within a few days, the duel at Mount Wenda stirred up tremendous waves throughout the entire Archaic Heaven Immortal Domain.
Jun Xiaoyao had truly reshaped everyone's understanding.
A contemporary genius had defeated an ancient anomaly.
In the past, this would have been nearly impossible.
But now, it had vividly unfolded before their eyes.
"Indeed, the era of great contention has begun, and all kinds of prodigies and anomalies have emerged."
"The Jun family's Holy Son is likely the greatest anomaly; after all, his aura feels as if it has transcended the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements."
"The Ancestral Dragon Nest and other Ancient Royal Clans have lost face; I wonder how they will respond?"
"Don't forget, the Ancestral Dragon Nest still has a forbidden initial generation in seclusion."
"Are you saying... Long Aotian?"
