Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, Jun Family of the Imperial State.

After the news of Jun Xiaoyao’s demise spread.

The entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, countless beings, could feel it.

The whole Immortal Realm seemed to be trembling!

The source of this tremor came from the Jun Family of the Imperial State!

At this moment, the Jun Family was in an uproar.

Many young members of the Jun Family were loudly exclaiming in shock and disbelief, wailing in grief.

Jun Xiaoyao could be said to be the pillar of the younger generation of the Jun Family, a figure of faith.

Some members of the Jun Family, when raising their descendants, would even teach them to be like Brother Xiaoyao in the future.

To be a man who stands tall, sweeps all obstacles, with an invincible spirit.

This shows how deeply Jun Xiaoyao’s prestige and influence had penetrated the Jun Family’s hearts.

One could say that if Jun Xiaoyao wished, he could become the head of the Jun Family at any time.

Not a single member of the Jun Family would oppose.

But now, this faith has collapsed.

Many people are still unwilling to believe, thinking it’s fake news.

As for Jiang Rou, upon hearing the news, she directly fainted.

Earlier, there was news that one of Jun Wuhui’s Three Pristine Avatars went missing in a battle with the Exotic Red Owl King.

Now, the news of Jun Xiaoyao’s demise has come again.

For Jiang Rou, as a woman, it’s indeed hard to bear.

Also, Jun Linglong, Jun Ying’Er, Nalan Ruoxi, and Su Ziqiong.

They had not embarked on the Emperor’s Road, staying in the Jun Family for cultivation.

Now upon hearing the news of Jun Xiaoyao’s demise, the women were also in tears.

Of course, it wasn’t just the upheaval in the Jun Family.

The Desolate Ancient Jiang Family also couldn’t remain calm.

Jun Xiaoyao’s grandfather, Jiang Daoxu, was also emotionally turbulent.

This virtuous grandson once ventured alone to the Ancient Burial Land for his health, searching for the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass.

But now, such news came, leaving him unable to accept it.

If the one who attacked Jun Xiaoyao were not from the Jun Family Hidden Lineage.

Were it another power, Jiang Daoxu would have led the entire Desolate Ancient Jiang Family to destroy that power!

"Daoxu, calm your anger for now, the Jun Family has yet to act."

"After all, this involves the Jun Family Hidden Lineage, it’s not good for us to meddle directly." An elder from the Jiang Family advised.

"Hmph, if it’s truly confirmed, I won’t spare any of those who laid a hand on my grandson!" Jiang Daoxu’s killing intent was terrifying.

"Of course, Xiaoyao is also our Jiang Family’s Young Master, carrying half of the Jiang Family’s bloodline."

The elders of the Jiang Family nodded in agreement.

The world often referred to Jun Xiaoyao as the Jun Family’s Divine Son.

But they overlooked that he was also the Jiang Family’s Young Master.

Though the Jiang Family remains low-key, it is also a Desolate Ancient Noble Family that cannot be ignored.

And at this moment, in the Jun Family’s Ancestral Hall of the Imperial State.

A group of Jun Family elders sat cross-legged.

The leader was the Eighth Ancestor of the Jun Family, Monarch’s Celestial Mandate.

Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao’s grandfather, Jun Zhantian, was also present.

His beard was unkempt, eyes bloodshot, not in good spirits.

"It’s confirmed, Xiaoyao’s Life Plate is shattered, it’s... likely true that he has fallen." the Sixteenth Ancestor said solemnly.

"Damn it, how dare Jun Bie Li of the Hidden Lineage do such a thing!"

The Eighteenth Ancestor lost his composure, unable to hold back his curses.

When Jun Xiaoyao was born, he was the first to be alerted, crawling out of the soil.

He watched Jun Xiaoyao grow up, naturally having deep affection for him, no different from a close grandfather.

"Eighteenth, don’t be rash. The specifics of the situation need further deliberation." the Seventeenth Ancestor said.

"Indeed, if it were another power, we’d directly eliminate it, but for the Hidden Lineage, we must consider carefully." the Fifteenth Ancestor said.

The strength and foundation of the Hidden Lineage are only slightly weaker than the main lineage, not by much.

If we were really to go to war with the Hidden Lineage, the cost would be too high.

At that time, even without intervention from the Supreme Immortal Court, the Jun Family would suffer significant damage.

Not to mention now, the Exotic Realm is eyeing us, wars are about to break out.

The Jun Family cannot afford internal strife at this time.

"So, are we just going to let Xiaoyao’s issue slide?" the Eighteenth Ancestor retorted.

"Of course not, but if we are really to go to war with the Hidden Lineage, we need the consent of the Ancient Ancestors to proceed." the Fourteenth Ancestor said.

The old ancestors gathered in the Jun Family Ancestral Hall of Huangzhou were in the Seven Venerable Realms, though they were not the most ancient.

The Jun Family’s ancient ancestors, above the Quasi-Emperor level, were not present in the Ancestral Hall.

They are either in the outer domain, in unknown dangerous grounds, or resting in ancient forbidden lands.

Those ancient ancestors are the real figures who hold the voice of authority in the Jun Family.

And a war with the Hidden Lineage is not the same as with other powers.

Eliminating other Immortal Influences is no big deal for the Jun Family.

But the Hidden Lineage also has a deep foundation, not to mention the shared bloodline ties.

That’s why the Eighteenth Ancestor previously said that if possible, it would be best for Jun Xiaoyao to reconcile with the Hidden Lineage.

But no one expected it to come to this.

"May I ask, Celestial Destiny Ancestor, have the ancient ancestors issued any edicts?"

Among the ancestors, the Sixteenth Ancestor inquired.

The Eighth Ancestor, Monarch’s Celestial Mandate, sitting at the head, had been composed and silent.

At this moment, Monarch’s Celestial Mandate raised his eyelids and said, "The ancient ancestors have not issued any edicts."

"Could it be because Xiaoyao isn’t truly dead? But that’s impossible, the Celestial Dao Crown has descended?"

Some old ancestors speculated.

No one can deceive the Heavens.

"Rest assured, the ancient ancestors naturally have their plans; really angering our Jun Family, none would dare overturn the Heavens."

Monarch’s Celestial Mandate spoke calmly, but his words were extremely shocking.

Contending with Heaven, in the end, was just another test for Jun Xiaoyao.

If the Jun Family really intended to cheat, they would have found the Seven Emperors from the start, avoiding this mess.

It was just that the Jun Family wanted Jun Xiaoyao to go through some trials and tribulations.

"The intent of the ancient ancestors, could it be..." the Eighteenth Ancestor pondered.

"Be patient, let the dust settle first..."

"But... it’s also time to knock some sense into certain forces." Monarch’s Celestial Mandate’s eyes showed a meaningful gaze.

Now, a group of Jun Family old ancestors was somewhat angry.

With anger, naturally, there must be an outlet for it.

A scapegoat must be found.

On the other side, outside the Original Emperor City.

Jun Bie Li and others were preparing to return to the Hidden Lineage.

An invisible wave seemed to come from the distant cosmos, miles away.

Even at such a distance, the pressure was terrifying!

Quasi-Emperor!

This was the might of a Quasi-Emperor!

"Jun Bie Li, greets the seniors of the main lineage."

Jun Bie Li, dressed in simple cloth, was unremarkable and very plain.

He slightly cupped his hands to the void.

"Do you have any explanation?"

A calm and old voice echoed.

Jun Bie Li’s eyes flickered, cupping his hands, "In the future, Bie Li will head to the Jun Family’s main lineage and confess my sins with a whip on my back."

"Heh... is this something that can be resolved with a confession?"

"This..." Jun Bie Li was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, another wave came from the distant cosmos.

"Jun Tai’e, you’re still with your old temper, don’t put on a stern face to trouble the younger generation."

This wave was from the voice of an old woman.

"It’s you, Jun Cuihua, you old undying, still alive?"

Jun Cuihua, her name sounded rustic, even somewhat laughable.

But she was an ancient ancestor of the Hidden Lineage with an extremely high seniority and had been honing in the Quasi-Emperor Realm for many years, her strength unfathomable!

Feeling the waves from the Jun Family’s main lineage and the Hidden Lineage, from two Quasi-Emperors.

Many prying gazes around were filled with shock.

Could it be that the Jun Family is really going to have a civil war?
