At the edge of the valley, after the fall of Prince Tianlan and the others, Jun Xiaoyao calmly walked to the edge of the pool and collected the five clusters of Dao Source into his hands.
Beside him, Lei Mingyuan watched this scene, not daring to voice any objections, remaining completely silent.
If it had been a struggle among Prince Tianlan and the others, Lei Mingyuan would naturally have resisted with all his might.
However, when it came to Jun Xiaoyao wanting the Dao Source, Lei Mingyuan couldn't even muster the will to resist.
Human nature is like this; when everyone is on a similar level, no one will yield to the other, and they will fight until blood is shed.
But when one faces a figure far superior to oneself, all that fills the heart is awe and submission, with no feelings of conflict.
This was exactly how Lei Mingyuan felt at this moment.
Although he was a prodigy from Thunder Emperor Mountain, possessing extraordinary talent and a reputation in his own right, compared to someone like Jun Xiaoyao, who was renowned in the Immortal Domain and considered invincible among the younger generation, he was simply worlds apart.
Their identities, statuses, and strengths were not even in the same realm.
Thus, Lei Mingyuan felt no frustration or anger; instead, he was more than willing.
"Indeed, this Dao Source is hard to find in the outside world, but within the Immortal Ancient World, it can be found directly."
Jun Xiaoyao played with the Dao Source in his hands, expressing mild admiration.
Having just entered the Immortal Ancient World not long ago, he had already obtained five rare clusters of Dao Source.
In other parts of the Immortal Ancient World, Jun Xiaoyao might find even more Dao Source.
With enough Dao Source, Jun Xiaoyao's Great Luo Immortal Body would likely be cultivated successfully in no time.
By then, Jun Xiaoyao's already monstrous physique would surely reach new heights.
Without hesitation, Jun Xiaoyao began to refine these five clusters of Dao Source.
He raised his hand, unleashing the Devouring Demon Technique.
A pitch-black vortex of devouring energy appeared, starting to refine the five clusters of Dao Source.
Lei Mingyuan stepped back to the side.
Seeing the devouring vortex, a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
"Indeed, the inheritor of the Demon Technique, Yan Qingying, who has recently been hunted by the Holy Maiden of the Holy Church, is a follower of the Jun family's divine son."
After witnessing the Devouring Demon Technique, Lei Mingyuan was completely convinced.
His eyes flickered, and he made a firm decision.
If he wanted to thrive in this Immortal Ancient World, relying solely on his own strength was clearly impossible.
He needed to cling tightly to the thickest thigh available.
And Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the best candidate.
For an ordinary prodigy, it might take three to five days to digest five clusters of Dao Source.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao completed the refinement in less than a few hours.
The number of Great Luo Immortal Bones within him also increased by ten, reaching a total of one hundred seventy.
This result surprised Jun Xiaoyao.
Because as one cultivates the Great Luo Immortal Bones, the energy required increases significantly.
At this point, even hundreds of low-grade Immortal Sources might struggle to refine a single Great Luo Immortal Bone.
But one cluster of Dao Source could refine two.
As long as Jun Xiaoyao finds a bit more Dao Source, he could refine all two hundred and six of his bones into Great Luo Immortal Bones.
By then, once his Great Luo Immortal Body is complete, no one in the Immortal Ancient World would be able to stand against Jun Xiaoyao!
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Lei Mingyuan.
During the time he was refining the Dao Source, Lei Mingyuan had not attempted any small tricks.
Instead, he seemed to be guarding him, standing watch on the periphery.
Feeling Jun Xiaoyao's gaze upon him, Lei Mingyuan suddenly felt pressured.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao's current cultivation was at the peak of the True God Realm.
A prodigy of the Void God Realm could be extinguished with a snap of his fingers.
Lei Mingyuan felt a bit of fear in his heart.
However, he gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt on one knee before Jun Xiaoyao.
"I am Lei Mingyuan, the inheritor of Thunder Emperor Mountain, willing to follow the divine son of the Jun family!"
"Thunder Emperor Mountain..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
This Thunder Emperor Mountain was indeed an immortal force in the Immortal Domain, though it had fallen into decline.
Jun Xiaoyao did not know much about Thunder Emperor Mountain, but he was vaguely aware that it had some connection to the Thunder Emperor.
In that case, it was somewhat related to Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao had inherited the complete Thunder Emperor's great technique.
Seeing Lei Mingyuan's actions, Jun Xiaoyao was not surprised.
If he were in Lei Mingyuan's position and saw such a thick thigh, he would probably cling to it as well.
"You seek the Thunder Emperor's great technique, don't you?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
Lei Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was hard to imagine that a prodigy from a renowned immortal force would feel intimidated and fearful because of a single sentence from Jun Xiaoyao.
However, Lei Mingyuan still gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Mingyuan does not dare to, I have only heard of the divine son's great name and hold deep respect, willing to follow!"
"Ha, don't be nervous. I, Jun, am not one to seek war and bloodshed," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Lei Mingyuan couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
Jun Xiaoyao was notorious for his brutal treatment of enemies.
"However, you indeed lack the qualifications to be my follower," Jun Xiaoyao stated bluntly.
His words were also the truth.
Although Lei Mingyuan was the inheritor of Thunder Emperor Mountain and possessed the Thunder Body, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, he was not qualified to be his follower.
Whether it was Yi Yu or Yan Qingying, both were individuals with great talent and opportunities.
Even someone like Wang Chuan, an ancient anomaly, had the qualifications to follow him.
In comparison, Lei Mingyuan fell far short.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, a bitter smile appeared on Lei Mingyuan's face.
He was actually self-aware; he just wanted to give it a try.
"However, as I, the divine son, have just arrived in the Immortal Ancient World, I am in need of a scout and guide," Jun Xiaoyao said, changing the subject.
Upon hearing this, Lei Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke, "Lei Mingyuan is willing to serve the divine son!"
Lei Mingyuan's expression was filled with excitement.
Even if he couldn't become Jun Xiaoyao's follower, being a lackey was still good.
"Alright, that works. I, the divine son, will not treat you poorly. Although the Thunder Emperor's great technique is good, it is not impossible to pass it on to you," Jun Xiaoyao nodded lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lei Mingyuan was even more excited, his face turning red.
As expected of the Jun family's divine son, his generosity was remarkable.
This was a top-tier technique comparable to the True Dragon's great technique or the Divine Phoenix's great technique, and only Jun Xiaoyao had the audacity to say such things.
Jun Xiaoyao was willing to give Lei Mingyuan a chance.
In fact, he was also trying to pull in another ally for the Jun family.
Although Thunder Emperor Mountain had declined, it was still an immortal force with a solid foundation and qualified to be an ally of the Jun family.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao would not hand over the Thunder Emperor's great technique to Lei Mingyuan right away; he would have to see how he performed first.
"By the way, divine son, Yan Qingying is your follower, right?" Lei Mingyuan suddenly asked.
"Yes, I heard she seems to be in trouble," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
He was not overly anxious; as a wielder of great fortune, Yan Qingying was not so easily doomed.
This was also a test for Yan Qingying.
"I have heard that the Holy Maiden of the Holy Church, Bei Mi Hu, seems to have teamed up with the Buddhist nun Miao Wuxin from Little Western Heaven to completely encircle and kill Yan Qingying," Lei Mingyuan said.
"Is that so?" Jun Xiaoyao's brows furrowed.
