100: Jun Wenhan's test, set out to the secret realm

Jun Lingxiao's father left home to find that woman, and ultimately disappeared in the Great Emperor Secret Realm. There must be some trickery involved.

However, in the end, the Old Man did not force Jun Lingxiao to stay, allowing him to go to the Secret Realm.

After all, the Old Ancestor had specifically spoken to him before leaving, stating that no one, not even his grandfather, could impede Jun Lingxiao's progress.

Going out for some experience would definitely be good for Jun Lingxiao, so he could only give up on stopping him.

"Our Jun Family has explored these types of Secret Realms countless times, and this contains some of the intelligence recorded within."

"But you don't need to memorize it. After all, given your status, you won't be the only one going into the Secret Realm. Just glance through it; those accompanying you will naturally remind you where the most dangerous places are."

"The Secret Realm is another Small World, and there are even indigenous inhabitants. This True Dragon Secret Realm has been dormant for so long, so it's possible that earth-shattering changes have occurred inside. You must be careful."

"Lingxiao, you are the hope of our Jun Family, and my hope as well."

"Also, Lingxiao, I know you keep your edge sheathed, which is excellent, but also not so good. You are the direction, the beacon, the example. So, when you are out, you can be more overbearing. The more domineering you are, the more safety the Jun Family Disciples behind you will have."

After saying this, Jun Wenhao left.

As a Great Emperor, this Secret Realm was nothing.

As a Jun Family Elder, he understood that every blade of grass and every tree in this Secret Realm, traversed by countless Jun Family members, had been thoroughly explored, and there wouldn't be much danger.

But as a grandfather, he still harbored worries.

Jun Chengtian's disappearance was a great blow to him, even making him doubt at one point whether his educational approach had problems. By Jun Lingxiao's generation, he could no longer tolerate any mishaps.

"Chirp?"

Watching his grandfather leave, Jun Lingxiao sat in the courtyard, lost in thought, until the little fellow on his shoulder rubbed his face and chirped, pulling him back.

"You're quite clingy."

Jun Lingxiao stroked the white feathers on the little one's head. This small creature was born with a spirit, and its two eyes were full of liveliness. In just four years, it had grown a coat of feathers as white as snow, though its body was still very small, small enough to be held in one hand.

However, its neck was quite long. Normally, it would perch on his left shoulder with its rear, and its head would wrap around his back neck to rest on his right shoulder, like a white scarf.

It grew to look more and more like a small Vermilion Bird, but more slender than a Vermilion Bird.

Oh, it should be she. The little one was a female.

"Hope, hope, everyone says that."

Jun Lingxiao sighed, then picked up the book Jun Wenhao had brought earlier and flipped through it, but quickly threw it back onto the desk, feeling bored.

"The Jun Family's Qilin Blood, the Divine Gate in the body, the Chu Family's Holy Infant."

"The former indeed exists, but the latter two..."

He sighed deeply again, his heart returning to peace, and he picked up the book to read again.

Everyone placed him on a divine altar, yet no one asked if he was willing, or rather, asked for his thoughts.

A single word, "hope," seemed to extinguish all his efforts in Cultivation.

His talent was indeed excellent, astounding everyone, but that didn't mean he didn't need to exert effort.

He saw Lin Qingxi's efforts, but what about his own efforts?

For some reason, Jun Lingxiao thought of Qiu Jinyao. That person seemed similar to him, yet also different.

"To wear the crown, one must bear its weight."

With that thought, Jun Lingxiao noted down several dangerous places marked in the Secret Realm and called An Luoxin, telling her to pack her things.

An Luoxin had to return to the Imperial Dynasty for this Secret Realm, so only Jun Hongxuan and a group of Jun Family Disciples would accompany him... Early the next morning, Jun Lingxiao had just left the Divine Son Hall, intending to meet up with Jun Hongxuan, but he encountered an unexpected person right outside.

Jun Wenhan.

The Jun Family's Second Dao Child, known as the "Martial Fanatic." He heard that his previous appearance at his tenth birthday was due to some connection with his grandfather.

But his appearance this time was a bit inexplicable.

"Jun Lingxiao, I have a premonition that you will find the True Dragon on this trip to the Secret Realm."

Jun Wenhan was as straightforward as ever. He stood there, clutching his sword, his gaze fixed on Jun Lingxiao with a scrutinizing look.

There was admiration, and also a hint of Battle Intent.

"Borrowing your auspicious words?"

Jun Lingxiao tilted his head, somewhat puzzled. Did the other party come just to wish him well?

However, he quickly resolved his confusion.

"If you truly bring back the True Dragon, that would be good."

"But do you think that the current Jun Family still has a place for those so-called True Dragons?"

Jun Wenhan said faintly, speaking somewhat cryptically, but Jun Lingxiao nodded knowingly, fully understanding.

His Jun Lingxiao was currently at the peak of his prestige. It was good to maintain this. In the future, the Jun Family would undoubtedly be his. But if he brought back the so-called True Dragon, it would instead cause disputes and ultimately bring him trouble.

Although somewhat surprised, Jun Wenhan's words were indeed out of concern for him.

Despite his reputation as a Martial Fanatic, his mind was also very sharp. Jun Lingxiao quite liked this person, and what he said was something Jun Lingxiao had actually considered.

He had his own answer.

"The Old Ancestor said that our Jun Family is fearless and dauntless."

"Why fearless, and why dauntless?"

"Because our Jun Family is like a vast ocean, embracing everything, accommodating everything. When the wind is calm, it is a magnificent sight, inspiring awe. When the wind rises, its waves surge, engulfing everything, inspiring fear."

"No ocean would ponder how to accommodate suddenly falling raindrops, because it is meaningless."

"Our Jun Family children bear Qilin Blood but do not utilize it; instead, they are afraid, afraid that there will be no place for a True Dragon or some Earth Dragon or Heavenly Dragon."

"Whether I can find that so-called True Dragon, I cannot say. But if I truly can find it, I will not be seeking it for the Jun Family, but for myself."

"What I find will naturally be for my own use. If the Jun Family has no place for a True Dragon, then the space behind me is still empty."

After Jun Lingxiao finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Jun Wenhan to ponder alone.

After a long moment, he suddenly smiled.

"If the Jun Family has no place, then the space behind you is still empty... meaning that in your eyes, you and the Jun Family are equals? How arrogant."

"Originally, I thought he was just a kid with talent, but his actions these past years..."

"Jun Lingxiao... he really does give me surprises."

"It seems, indeed, it's time for a change."

Jun Wenhan finished speaking, giving Jun Lingxiao's departing back a meaningful look.

He had contended with that monster for the position of Divine Son for so long, only for it to suddenly fall to a mere youngster. It was certainly false to say he harbored no resentment.

He had originally hoped to see him make some mistakes over the years, but unexpectedly, he had watched Jun Lingxiao grow up little by little, rise little by little, and now he was even lecturing him.

Even more so, he actually found it quite reasonable.

"The ocean embraces all rivers, for my use... Everyone has Qilin Blood, but there is only one Qilin Child."

"It seems our Jun Family has produced another Qilin Child."

Jun Wenhan continued to speak in riddles that others couldn't understand, then also turned and left.

Seeing Jun Lingxiao in this state, he no longer had any worries.

Actually, by seniority, he was also Jun Lingxiao's cousin.

Meanwhile, Jun Lingxiao, after meeting up with Jun Hongxuan, arrived at the Jun Family's teleportation platform, where hundreds of Disciples participating in the Secret Realm were already prepared.

There are no weaklings in the villainous Family; every person standing there was a top-tier Prodigy.

They stood straight, clad in black armor symbolizing the Jun Family, their combined Qi soaring to the clouds. Their expressions were extremely serious, showing no slack, which made Jun Lingxiao nod in approval.

"Depart!"

With Jun Lingxiao's command, the great formation lit up, and he could finally step out of the Jun Family to see the outside world.
