129: There are ten families, too many and too annoying. Wouldn’t it be nice to just keep one Jun?

As soon as Jun Lingxiao opened the first page, before he could even see anything, a golden beam of light shot straight up into the sky.

The scene instantly drew everyone's attention, including Ling Tian, who had run off with Jun Lingxiao's sword, and he too looked back, exclaiming, "As expected of my Big Brother! It looks like an Opportunity is secured!"

"This is...?"

He seemed to have seen many light beams today, but fortunately, this one was relatively small, a mere drop in the bucket compared to the one that rose in the Dao field.

After the light beam, Jun Lingxiao looked at the book in his hand, which was gradually turning into dust, feeling a bit puzzled.

At the same time, he noticed an additional mark on the back of his left hand, the one he had used to hold the book.

It was a mark that looked similar to the character 'huang' ( brilliant), not the 'huang' for emperor ( Emperor), but the 'huang' for brilliant.

"The mark of the Human Emperor's Palace. I originally thought you wouldn't get it," Jun Yongzheng explained in his mind.

He said this was how the Human Emperor's Palace found people. They had no jurisdiction over the Sacred Tablet, but they were followers who had served the Human Emperor for generations, so they would use this method to find him.

In the future, when this mark lit up, it would indicate that people from the Human Emperor's Palace were nearby.

As he spoke, he sounded somewhat earnest, saying that Jun Lingxiao's current identity was not merely that of a Human Emperor's successor; primarily, he was a Divine Authority Holder.

Among the twelve Divinities of the world, since Jun Lingxiao had awakened the Seventh Divine Authority, the Divine Land that served the Seventh Divine Authority would also find him and serve him.

These were all sources of assistance. Jun Lingxiao might not lack them, but he shouldn't let them go, as every bit of strength offered a bit of hope.

At the same time, there was no need to worry about loyalty. The people in the Human Emperor's Palace and the Divine Land would change. For example, those who served the previous Human Emperor in the Human Emperor's Palace either died with him or remained in the palace as teachers and would not emerge. Those who did emerge were new recruits who had been instilled with loyalty from a young age.

The same applied to the Divine Land. However, when Jun Lingxiao awakened, it was within their Dao field space. After he came out, they intentionally helped him erase the traces. This was for his own good, as a prominent tree catches the wind, so the Divine Land shouldn't be able to find him for a while.

Jun Yongzheng said a lot, and Jun Lingxiao listened calmly.

When he heard the phrase "a prominent tree catches the wind," he couldn't help but smile.

"If Old Ancestor heard that, he'd surely slap me."

"He'd definitely say, 'To hell with a prominent tree catches the wind! The Jun Family's tree is already that big, what if it gets bigger? Am I not capable of protecting it or something?'"

"Then he'd add, 'Don't make me smack you.'"

"Senior, the Jun Family is different now. You should be aware that what we need now is to be a prominent tree that catches the wind. Only by occupying more resources can we endure the impact of darkness."

At this, Jun Yongzheng fell silent.

He realized that Jun Lingxiao was not a junior who would stick to convention, but a Jun Family leader with his own thoughts and considerations.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jun Yongzheng asked in return.

"Announce my identity to the world, attract the Divine Land you mentioned, Senior, and then combine our strengths."

"The Ten Directions Immortal Court, ten Families—too many and too much of an eyesore. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to leave only one 'Jun'?"

It was only now that Jun Lingxiao finally revealed his objective.

Not only did he want to become an Emperor, but he also wanted to eradicate and assimilate all these so-called Ten Heads Families.

As he said, wouldn't it be more satisfying to leave only one 'Jun'?

"Only one 'Jun'? Kid, isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

"Exactly! Although my Zhang Family is not as powerful as your Jun Family, it's not that easy to eradicate!"

"My Wen Family is the same!"

Before Jun Yongzheng could speak, numerous chaotic voices erupted in the Sea of Consciousness. Although they were all Human Emperors, they came from different Families.

To put it bluntly, the Ten Chiefs were originally all of similar strength. It was only because three individuals fortunately achieved a Breakthrough to Heavenly Emperor that your Jun Family was able to soar. If their Families could also produce a Heavenly Emperor, then the Ten Chiefs would immediately have to be re-ranked!

In other words, there was actually no distinction of high or low status among the Ten Chiefs.

They just lacked one Heavenly Emperor, just one!

Facing the many doubts, Jun Lingxiao merely smiled faintly. At this moment, Jun Siyu also woke up. While rubbing her eyes, she reached out to pull Jun Lingxiao.

After handing his hand to her, the little one closed her eyes again and leaned against him, while Jun Lingxiao continued:

"Seniors, it seems there's a misunderstanding. I have no intention of eradicating any Family; that would be putting the cart before the horse."

"I said, only one 'Jun' will remain, but that doesn't mean I want to kill anyone. What I want is assimilation, absorption, to combine the strength of all people and use it for my own."

As Jun Lingxiao spoke, he looked into the distance. From Jun Yongzheng's lifelong insights, Jun Lingxiao finally understood the Dao he should follow.

It was a boundless Dao that embraced all rivers!

"One day, I will walk at the very front of everyone, and behind me will be countless Families who support me."

"Embracing all rivers, for my use. Where I am, that is the Jun Family. Where I point, that is the land of myriad race conquest!"

"Abolish the Ten Chiefs, unify everything, and then, invade the foreign races, unveiling that endless night."

When Jun Lingxiao said this, no one spoke. A group of old monsters was so startled by Jun Lingxiao's seemingly absurd words that they were speechless, yet no one laughed. Instead, they all looked serious.

They didn't know about Jun Lingxiao's birth alongside the Divine Gate, but they did know his identity as a Divine Authority Holder.

With Divine Authority in hand, what was impossible?

He had the ability and the qualification. At the same time, what Jun Lingxiao said was the wish of all Human Emperors: as long as they counterattacked the foreign races, the Human Race could naturally be preserved permanently.

But the Ten Chiefs... that was also their Family.

On one hand, it was the wish of all Human Emperors, both in life and after death.

On the other hand, it was the Family they belonged to.

They did not know what method Jun Lingxiao meant by "embracing all rivers," but at this moment, there was only silent stillness.

Unexpectedly, no one questioned the truth of Jun Lingxiao's words, or perhaps... this was precisely in line with him.

The first person to summon a Divine Authority from the heavens could not possibly be mediocre.

Jun Lingxiao's aspirations might also be the aspirations of all races in the world.

Jun Lingxiao spoke without reservation. Although Jun Siyu was still leaning on Jun Lingxiao's hand, her big eyes had long since opened.

Though still young, she surprisingly understood Jun Lingxiao's words.

'My brother is a person with great ambitions, somewhat serious, and a bit strict.'

She thought this, then slowly closed her eyes.

But in her heart, she added another sentence:

'I'm afraid of a brother like this.'

'I want to see Grandpa...'

After tidying up, Jun Lingxiao and his group arrived at the exit early.

Chu Gaodan was still pondering what it meant for someone to give Jun Lingxiao a token when he saw Jun Lingxiao directly take out his giant sword and sit at the entrance, then look at the crowd waiting for the gate to open and say:

"Everyone, I am Jun Lingxiao."

"As you can see, we want to leave early, but unfortunately, we don't have enough tokens."

"So, I want tokens."

Jun Lingxiao paused as he spoke, then smiled and added:

"Many, many tokens."

At this, the entire audience was astonished!

Everyone, including Chu Gaodan, stared blankly at Jun Lingxiao, with only one thought in their minds.

"Good heavens, this is outright robbery!"
