In the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

This time's sermon was also greatly beneficial to Jun Xiaoyao himself.

He seemed to have a clearer understanding of his own path.

"The origin of the divine, the origin represents the starting point, and thereafter, layers of changes will surely arise. Perhaps I can use this to create an entirely new cultivation system?"

Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

As someone who had crossed over, his thinking was divergent, and his thought process was different from others; one could say he was a natural anomaly.

Creating a cultivation system from scratch was something that other cultivators would hardly even think about.

In the minds of other cultivators, there was no concept of creating a cultivation system.

But Jun Xiaoyao did.

"This kind of thing is not urgent; the accumulation required is too deep, and my foundation is still very thin." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, not in a hurry.

Such a thing sounded crazy and was not something he could achieve at the moment.

However, it was easy to imagine that if he could accomplish it, it would be an epoch-making feat.

At that time, Jun Xiaoyao might very well open up a brand new era of cultivation!

Of course, this was still far from the current Jun Xiaoyao, and he was not anxious.

One must eat a meal bite by bite and walk a path step by step.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was deep in thought, he suddenly looked towards the door and said, "Come in; why linger outside?"

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's voice, a small figure with short legs dashed in, delicate and charming, snow-white and cute—it was Jiang Luoli.

She held two teacups in her hands, her big eyes darting around, nervously fidgeting.

"Is there something you need?" Jun Xiaoyao asked lightly.

"Xiaoyao Gege, Luoli knows you like tea. This is tea made from ancient tea leaves aged for a hundred thousand years, brewed with Tianshan snow water. Can you give it a try?"

Jiang Luoli placed the two cups of tea on the table.

Her small hands twisted together, and her face turned slightly red.

"You're very thoughtful." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Although this girl could be silly at times, she was quite considerate when it mattered.

Jun Xiaoyao understood her feelings, but he truly had no thoughts on that matter right now.

He picked up the teacup and slowly brought it to his lips.

Jiang Luoli nervously swallowed, staring intently at Jun Xiaoyao, a light sheen of sweat forming on her brow.

Jun Xiaoyao paused, glancing at the blushing Jiang Luoli and asked, "Are you feeling hot?"

"No, not at all! It's just that the weather is really nice today!" Jiang Luoli shook her head vigorously, trying to laugh it off.

"My family's territory has formations; it's always spring-like here." Jun Xiaoyao replied, somewhat speechless.

"Is... is that so? Ah... that makes sense." Jiang Luoli stammered, her heart racing like a little deer.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Jiang Luoli, his lips almost touching the teacup.

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Xiaoyao, I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Rou walked in and saw Jiang Luoli, smiling as she said, "Luoli is here too."

"Ah... Mother... um, you two can talk; I won't disturb you."

Seeing Jiang Rou arrive, Jiang Luoli became even more flustered, awkwardly rushing out.

Only Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Rou remained.

"This girl." Jiang Rou chuckled, then turned to Jun Xiaoyao and said, "Xiaoyao, haven't you developed feelings yet? I quite like her."

Jun Xiaoyao set down the teacup, feeling somewhat helpless. "Mother, I'm still young; I don't have such thoughts."

"You're fourteen, not a child anymore. Put in some effort; let me hold a grandchild." Jiang Rou smiled, pursing her lips.

Jun Xiaoyao forced a smile.

He could be indifferent to anyone, but he felt helpless when it came to family.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Mother?" Jun Xiaoyao shifted the topic.

Jiang Rou's smile faded, replaced by a subtle seriousness.

"Actually, there's been a bit of trouble at home, and it's time to tell you." Jiang Rou said.

"The Jun family seems fine, right?" Jun Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

The current Jun family was celebrating, living in peace and stability.

But then, Jun Xiaoyao immediately thought of something and tentatively asked, "Are you referring to the Jiang family?"

Jiang Rou furrowed her brows slightly and nodded. "That's right. Your grandfather, Jiang Daoxu, is not in good health; he may not last much longer."

"Grandfather..."

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly realized that since his birth, he had never visited the Jiang family and had never met any of his relatives from there.

"Although your grandfather is a supreme powerhouse, he fought for the Jiang family in his early years, battling ancient royal families, confronting life-and-death zones, and venturing into ancient burial grounds, leaving behind a legacy of illness." Jiang Rou's eyes reddened slightly.

Jiang Rou's father, Jun Xiaoyao's grandfather, Jiang Daoxu, was also a legendary powerhouse.

He was once an unparalleled talent for the Jiang family and later became a pillar of support, fighting in many battles.

In his later years, although he successfully cultivated to the supreme realm and became the foundation of the Jiang family, he also paid the price with a body full of ailments and hidden diseases.

In recent years, Jiang Daoxu's health had been deteriorating.

"Xiaoyao, your grandfather wanted to come to your tenth birthday banquet, but due to his health, he couldn't make it." Jiang Rou said in a low tone.

"Is there really no way to cure Grandfather's hidden ailments?" Jun Xiaoyao frowned.

Although he had never met this grandfather, he could not ignore the blood ties.

"Ah... it's complicated." Jiang Rou sighed.

Jun Xiaoyao contemplated; it seemed that even with the Jiang family's resources, it was difficult to find a complete cure for Jiang Daoxu's ailments, only able to prolong his life.

"Xiaoyao, in a few days, go back to the Jiang family with your mother to visit your grandfather." Jiang Rou said.

"Of course." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

Afterward, Jiang Rou left.

Jun Xiaoyao fell into deep thought.

Out of emotion and reason, he should help his grandfather Jiang Daoxu.

Jiang Daoxu was also one of the pillars of the Jiang family; if something happened to him, it would have a huge impact on the Jiang family.

This was not something Jun Xiaoyao wanted to see.

After all, he was also half a member of the Jiang family.

"Let's take it one step at a time; I'll make a judgment after seeing Grandfather." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

Jun Xiaoyao thought it was Jiang Rou returning.

He looked over, slightly surprised.

The visitor was actually Jiang Shengyi.

Jiang Shengyi was dressed in white, her beauty like a painting, resembling a celestial maiden from the moon palace, pure and untainted.

"Sister Shengyi?"

Jun Xiaoyao did not expect her to come looking for him.

After all, from Jiang Shengyi's previous attitude, she seemed to have created some distance from him.

Jiang Shengyi appeared somewhat reserved, lacking the previous ease she had when interacting with Jun Xiaoyao.

"Sister Shengyi, have some tea."

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Jun Xiaoyao said.

He also picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips.

Jiang Shengyi similarly picked up her teacup, seemingly drinking it all in one go to calm her nerves.
