45: A plan within a plan. In the eyes of the Jun family, foreign races are nothing more than tools.

The Great Emperors from other Families in the Jun Family's inner hall were stunned, watching the Fang Family's Great Emperor explode into a bloody mist before their eyes.

This wasn't some insignificant plant or flower, but a Great Emperor with power reaching the Three Heavens... A Great Emperor who commanded a world and had billions of living beings behind him died so easily before their eyes... This was the power of a Heavenly Emperor... But the problem was, a Great Emperor shouldn't be killed... They were crazy.

The Great Emperors present all thought this to themselves, looking at the Jun Family.

“What a good show.”

“But you really dared to kill a Great Emperor. Aren't you afraid your Family's Disciples' path to becoming Great Emperors will be cut off?” The Ye Family's Great Emperor put down the book in his hand and said with a frown.

The Qin Family hadn't come, so among those present, only this Great Emperor representing the Ye Family was qualified to speak a few words.

As for the 'show' he mentioned, everyone present was an expert and understood.

The Fang Family, having become the last of the Ten Chiefs due to a Great Emperor war years ago, colluding with foreign races could be considered reasonable.

But if you thought about it from another angle, it wasn't right. Why would a foreign race help the Fang Family? Just for a Saint Physique and a Great Emperor? Was it worth it? Even an idiot would know this was impossible.

Thinking from yet another angle, the Fang Family and the Jun Family were already old enemies. After learning that such a Physique had appeared in the Jun Family, they certainly wouldn't sit idly by. But due to their insufficient ability, they urgently needed assistance. It was impossible for the Jun Family not to notice such a glaring weakness.

If it were minor friction among the Ten Chiefs themselves, the Ye Family and the Qin Family wouldn't stand by and watch, nor would they allow the Jun Family to dominate. But if it involved foreign races, the nature of the matter changed. The Jun Family was eradicating a calamity for the Ten Directions Immortal Court. No one could say a word, and they even had to thank them.

On the surface, the Fang Family used foreign races to try and move Jun Lingxiao, but in reality, the Jun Family used foreign races to eradicate the Fang Family in one fell swoop!

What a show.

But this clearly didn't fit the Jun Family's reckless style. The only variable... The Ye Family's Great Emperor thought this, then suddenly realized: “So that's it, is it that Jun Lingxiao?”

“Path to Great Emperor cut off?”

The Old Ancestor scoffed upon hearing this.

The surrounding Great Emperors also looked hesitant upon hearing these four words.

To a certain extent, a Great Emperor was no longer an ordinary Cultivator, but an Incarnation and manifestation of Law. The path to becoming a Great Emperor was taken step by step. Except for the first few Great Emperors in ancient times, they all followed in the footsteps of their ancestors to become Great Emperors.

As long as the predecessors had walked the path, they would more or less leave footprints for later generations, providing some help to a certain extent.

But if a Great Emperor perished, it was different. The demise of a Great Emperor would feed back into heaven and earth. His footprints would be unfindable, and those who Cultivated this Dao would find it difficult to advance, only able to re-Cultivate.

The existence of a Great Emperor was special: unseeable, unutterable, without Origin, and with a lifespan equal to heaven.

If the path to becoming a Great Emperor was cut off, the number of Great Emperors produced by that Family would naturally decrease, but that was for smaller Families.

“Why would our Jun Family children need to walk the path of others?”

“I killed a Great Emperor, and so be it. Not just a Great Emperor. My Jun Family kindly hosted a banquet, but I never expected the Fang Family to collude with foreign races and attempt to attack our Divine Son. This matter cannot be tolerated!”

“Issue the order: declare a Great Emperor War against the Fang Family!”

As soon as the Old Ancestor said this, everyone present looked askance. A Great Emperor War was the highest-level Family war in the Ten Directions Immortal Court! It could be said that once this order was issued, the Fang Family and the Jun Family would truly be locked in an endless struggle; this was a war of annihilation... Saying this, the Old Ancestor looked at the Ye Family's Great Emperor sitting there, and his tone suddenly shifted: “Of course, if the Ye Family has any opinions, let your Heavenly Emperor come and tell me in person.”

Although the Ten Directions Immortal Court was balanced by the Three Heavens, even if a Heavenly Emperor came to the Jun Family's territory, he would still be beaten without question!

Upon hearing this, the Ye Family's Great Emperor paused his hand holding the book, then closed the book with a forced smile and cupped his hands towards the Old Ancestor.

“Not at all. In the future, our two Families will need to help each other more, in-Laws.”

After speaking, he stood up and left directly.

Seeing that even the strongest Ye Family had left, the other Families didn't dare to utter a single sound.

He cut down a foreign race Great Emperor with one sword, and crushed the Fang Family's Great Emperor with his bare hands, killing Great Emperors like chickens and dogs! After witnessing this scene, who would dare to say anything?

At the same time, some people marveled at the Jun Family's cleverness. This was not a banquet at all, but entirely a show of force to intimidate others... With this display, who would dare to interfere in the Great Emperor War between the Jun Family and the Fang Family?

Whoever interferes dies... It could be said that after today, the Fang Family would surely be annihilated!

...The banquet ended as scheduled, but everyone's faces were solemn as they left.

Two Great Emperors perished at one banquet, and as everyone left, they saw countless streaks of light flying into the sky, heading towards the Fang Family's direction... This was the Jun Family's strength.

Of course, what shocked everyone even more was this young Divine Son of the Jun Family; at only ten years old, he already had Spirit Domain Realm Cultivation! Simply outrageous!

Many people made up their minds to warn the younger generations in their Families to stay far away from the name Jun Lingxiao after returning, as he was the true monster!

“Ten years old...”

“His Bloodline purity shouldn't be below eighty, right?”

“Perhaps my nephew is the one we've been waiting for all this time...”

The man next to Chu Yi stared blankly at Jun Lingxiao, a bold guess emerging in his mind.

But unfortunately, he still didn't get the answer he wanted. He only took a deep look at Jun Lingxiao when he left, his eyes filled with countless thoughts.

After the banquet ended, some forces suddenly started sending gifts to Jun Lingxiao.

A moment's thought revealed why.

With the annihilation of the Fang Family, a position among the Ten Chiefs became vacant, and now, simply clinging to the Jun Family's leg meant half success.

The biggest gift, however, came from the Divine Phoenix race.

A red-haired woman, knowing what Cultivation Technique he Cultivated, sent him a wisp of Divine Beast Origin to aid his Cultivation.

She also said that their Divine Phoenix race could stand with Jun Lingxiao, on the condition that he visit Divine Phoenix Mountain someday.

Why not go to a free check-in point? Jun Lingxiao readily agreed.

He left the rest to his mother to handle and sought out Jun Hongxuan alone.

“Spirit Domain Realm, huh... Holy crap, Divine Son, when did you Breakthrough? Why didn't you tell me?”

“I'm still stuck at Spirit Sea Ninth Realm!”

Jun Hongxuan hid a deeper meaning in his eyes, feigning a casual conversation with Jun Lingxiao.

He naturally also saw the scene of the Jun Family members flying towards the Fang Family. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't show it on his face at all.

After all, he was such a person, preferring to hide and bear it alone, to the point of turning his hair white overnight.

“I Breakthrough when I fought Fang Sheng.” Jun Lingxiao didn't hide this, but he looked at Jun Hongxuan, unsure how to relay Rong Junxian's message.

Thinking, Jun Lingxiao stared fixedly at Jun Hongxuan, then suddenly chuckled after a moment.

Forget it, he'd bear it alone.

Thinking of this, Jun Lingxiao said, “Don't push yourself too hard. Read fewer books at night, and remember to blow out the lamp before bed, or you'll set your room on fire sooner or later.”

Jun Hongxuan was stunned by these words, as if memories flickered in his eyes, but the next moment he laughed: “Why are you suddenly telling me this? Someone must have asked you to relay a message, right?”

“No, we're buddies, can't I care about you?”

Jun Lingxiao turned and left after speaking, while Jun Hongxuan followed, pressing him.

“Come on, tell me who asked you to relay the message. Could it be a girl who fancies me? Otherwise, how would she know I don't blow out the lamp before bed?”

“It's actually quite hard to get used to. Before, when I got tired of reading at night, I'd just fall asleep at my desk, and someone would help me extinguish the lamp. But the day before yesterday, I did as usual, and then in the middle of the night, the tablecloth caught fire and woke me up. You wouldn't believe how close it was to my eyebrows!”

“Oh, please. Someone fancies you, looking like that?”

Jun Lingxiao glanced sideways and teased jokingly. In fact, Jun Hongxuan was quite handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, it was just his white hair that was a bit jarring.

Jun Hongxuan heard this and puffed out his chest indignantly: “What do I look like?! Don't look at me like this, I actually have quite a few girls who like me!”

“Who exactly could make you, the Divine Son, relay a message?”

“It's me.”

“Come on, I don't believe it.”

“Well, you said it, who would dare to ask me to relay a message?”

“Perhaps it's a Saintess or Divine Maiden from another Family?”

Jun Lingxiao: “...”
