111: Help me? No, you'll just get in the way.
This Secret Realm is an ancient battlefield where many ancient Great Emperors fell. Even the Great Emperors sitting outside cannot see its full scope. They can only infer what happened inside from the aura emanating from it and the names on the list at the entrance.
It's a process of tempering, and it's inevitable for Disciples to fall, but the Disciples of the Ten Chiefs Family should have entered as a group, and they are all Dao inheritors. How could they fall so easily?
Some people have vaguely guessed that something major has happened inside.
“Hiss~ Many people's Qi has disappeared out of thin air. They should have entered the ruins. Could it be that ancient foreign beasts have emerged from within?”
“Ancient beasts? That is indeed possible.”
Although the Secret Realm has been scoured countless times, the ruins and tall towers contain Small Worlds and Secret Realms, making it impossible to clear them completely. From time to time, an ancient beast will emerge.
However, although everyone was discussing this, no one showed any signs of worry on their faces.
After all, they have too many Disciples, and a few falling each year is considered normal. More and better ones will emerge the next year.
Survival of the fittest. As long as they don't encounter their inheritors, you can do whatever you want.
“Oh? The Qin Family also lost a few. But Old Jun, is your Family's Divine Son capable? Why is it still 0?”
Someone looked at the list and then at Jun Wenhao, asking.
This was not mockery, but concern. He had placed his bets on Jun Lingxiao! Don't let him lose!
“Not necessarily. Look, just now, the Jun Family's people inexplicably gained twenty tokens. This clearly means they killed a fifth-realm foreign beast. In such a short time, it must have been a first kill, right? Ordinary Disciples couldn't be that fast. It's possible Jun Lingxiao made the move, but gave the tokens to the Jun Family's people.”
After a third-realm creature dies, it drops one token, a fourth-realm drops twenty, and a fifth-realm drops fifty.
The Jun Family currently ranks first with 26 tokens. Second is Qin Chengan, who seems to have gathered all the Qin Family's people, with 11 tokens.
“Let's talk about that later, Old Jun, why do you look completely unconcerned? Aren't you afraid that if something unexpected happens inside, your Family's Divine Son will perish prematurely?”
Someone asked Jun Wenhao, who was calmly sipping tea.
“Perish prematurely?”
Jun Wenhao scoffed, then confidently declared, “I dare say that even if everyone inside dies, my precious grandson will not suffer any mishap!”
“Oh, oh, oh, look, he's even calling him precious now.”
“Tell us, what Supreme treasure did you put on him?”
“Supreme treasure?” Jun Wenhao shook his head again:
“When his father was young, I was indeed quite concerned. I originally wanted to put this set on Jun Lingxiao, but guess what?”
Jun Wenhao took a sip of tea before looking at everyone and seriously saying, “Useless.”
“Completely useless.”
“When his father was young, I had to coax him, educate him, and give him all sorts of Supreme treasures and Divine Pills. But with Jun Lingxiao, I'm much more relaxed.”
“Just set up a chair, sit there, and watch him.”
“Jun Lingxiao has never made me worry, and he won't this time either.”
“Next time during the Supreme War, let my grandson show you what a true Dao inheritor is, what true invincibility is!”
Jun Wenhao said arrogantly, almost praising Jun Lingxiao to the heavens.
Putting everything else aside, as long as Jun Lingxiao used the Heavenly Sword technique he learned from the Old Ancestor, there would be no accidents.
Moreover, that kid also has a Supreme Dao Heart. If one sword isn't enough, he has two. Not to mention his Domain and Human Sacred Law, there's simply no need to worry.
However, he didn't explicitly say these things. The Supreme War of the Ten Directions Immortal Court was about to begin, and he wanted to leave some suspense so that Jun Lingxiao could astonish everyone at that time, allowing him to properly show off in front of these old geezers!
“You're just bragging. According to you, isn't my junior just as invincible?”
“Heh, invincible?”
“Alright, then we'll see at the Supreme War.”
The Great Emperors present didn't take Jun Wenhao's words seriously. In an era of prosperity, who dares to claim invincibility?
The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is indeed very strong, the number one Physique, but if that's all there is, it's not enough.
There are not a few Heaven-Defying Prodigies with powerful Physiques who perished prematurely, and there are also many who started with weak Physiques but climbed their way up. In any case, Physique is just an aid to becoming stronger; how far one can go still depends on the individual.
“Sky Devouring Flame Demon Beast... I heard that a ninth-realm can devour the sky...”
Qin Chengan looked at the tall foreign beast with eyes full of amusement, even telling the Qin Family's people to stay away from that area and watch from a distance.
“Sixth-realm...”
Qiu Jinyao also entered. She subtly sensed the oppressive aura, bit her lip lightly, and silently led her people to stand behind the Jun Family's group. This was a position from which she could rush to his aid at any moment.
As the leader of the Qiu Family, she couldn't put the Qiu Family Disciples in danger, but Jun Lingxiao was special to her, a ray of light that appeared in her darkest hour. For him, the former was not necessarily discardable.
“Your Highness wants to eliminate this demon for them? That's quite a grand gesture. If you don't mind, I can lead the charge for Your Highness.”
At this moment, Chu Gaodan also led his people in. He had the highest cultivation here. As one of the Four Heavenly Men of the Chu Family, his age had actually long surpassed thirty. This time, he used a Supreme treasure to conceal his age and enter the Secret Realm purely for Jun Lingxiao.
The Chu Family's Old Ancestor had passed down a secret decree, revealing Jun Lingxiao's identity.
The Holy Infant the Chu Family had searched for for tens of thousands of years, the only pure blood. In fact, Chu Gaodan didn't clearly know what the concept of pure blood actually entailed. Even he was unaware of the secrets involved. His Bloodline purity was 84%, making him the chief of the Four Heavenly Men, but this still didn't allow him to know the Chu Family's most core secret.
However, he had heard that it seemed to be related to the ancient Heavenly Dao covenant.
Although it was just a guess and unconfirmed, his goal this time was to gain as much favor from Jun Lingxiao as possible and persuade him to return to the Chu Family.
“Chu Gaodan of the Chu Family is here, now we can rest assured.”
“Not just him, I also saw Qin Chengan of the Qin Family just now. These two are top-tier powerhouses. A sixth-realm foreign beast might be a bit tricky for them, but it's no real threat.”
The survivors from the other Ten Chiefs Families breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at Chu Gaodan who had stepped forward.
He and Qin Chengan often made appearances, so everyone was somewhat familiar with them.
At this moment, the lazily reclining Sky Devouring Flame Demon Beast also looked over. Just as everyone thought they would witness a scene of the Chu Family, Jun Family, and Qin Family jointly eliminating the demon, Jun Lingxiao calmly walked forward, and two words softly fell.
“No need.”
“You'll only get in my way.”
Jun Lingxiao said, walking directly towards the enormous foreign beast, his steps firm, as always.
“Did you hear that? You bunch of useless people! What 'Chu Family and Qin Family are here, so we can relax'? Where's my big brother? Can they be as formidable as my big brother?” Ling Tian immediately started acting superior. He didn't want to be idle for a moment. Ever since he discovered how great it was to be a younger brother, he had become addicted.
“Yes, yes, Your Highness, please...”
Even Chu Gaodan echoed, saying. The Chu Family inherently revered Bloodline. If Jun Lingxiao was truly the pure blood Holy Infant, he would be too late even if he knelt to welcome him.
It can only be said that if Jun Lingxiao went east, then Ling Tian and Chu Gaodan would break through the south wall and go around to also head east. However, although Chu Gaodan verbally agreed, his body remained still.
Nothing else, he simply didn't believe Jun Lingxiao could defeat this sixth-realm foreign beast alone.
The Sky Devouring Flame Demon Beast watched Jun Lingxiao approach, its nose twitching as it blew out a puff of hot air, its gaze mocking.
“Heh, kid, you also want to be a guardian and avenge them?”
As it spoke, it threw out a half-eaten corpse in its hand, its expression disdainful, as if it had already killed countless such people.
Jun Lingxiao heard this, raised his head, and met its gaze, his expression indifferent.
“No, their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me.”
“I'm here to ask you a question. I ask, you answer. Otherwise.”
“Die.”
