How naive of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew the mysterious young master was extraordinary, he simply couldn’t swallow this humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he himself was a prince of the Immortal Divine Dynasty, his status far from low—he had no reason to fear the heirs of immortal factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, no matter the outcome, Youmingtian ’s assassins would never reveal their employer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if they failed, the third prince needn’t worry his identity would be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the third prince had no idea Jun Xiaoyao possessed the Chaos Divine Mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Failure is impossible. The assassins sent by  Youmingtian  are all one realm higher than that man, some even two realms higher—Nirvana experts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third prince smiled faintly, utterly confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a hoarse voice whispered into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The assassination failed. For now,  Youmingtian  will not strike again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice, the third prince’s face darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What changed? Did a guardian intervene?\" the third prince asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only scenario he could imagine was a guardian stepping in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, they would have verified everything before acting,\" the voice replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you mean a mere Cultivation Base: Unity expert killed your Dao-Union and Nirvana assassins?\" the third prince refused to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the truth. The cat’s out of the bag. We won’t act again for now—and the payment won’t be returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice vanished after speaking those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left behind was the third prince, his face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this happen? Who is that man? Could he really be that powerful?\" The third prince refused to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had paid a heavy price, only to receive this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected  Youmingtian  was mocking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But organizations like  Youmingtian , though cold-blooded and cruel, valued their word above all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without reputation, no one would ever hire them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third prince’s expression shifted restlessly; a sense of dread settled in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had unleashed a catastrophe beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could that man be...? No, impossible. How could it be such a coincidence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name flickered faintly in the third prince’s mind—but he banished it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That name was too terrifying. If it truly were him, the third prince couldn’t fathom the consequences he’d face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I’m overthinking this. Even if the  Youmingtian  assassins died, they couldn’t reveal my identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third prince spoke as if trying to reassure himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the imperial capital, within an ancient, quiet courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, refining the immortal source he had acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred immortal sources were enough for Jun Xiaoyao to refine another batch of Great Luo Immortal Bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That third prince is truly pitiful—lost his immortal sources, lost his woman, and was tricked by me,\" Jun Xiaoyao muttered, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a tragic guy that third prince is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, thinking of Xiao Chen, Ji Xuan, the Champion Marquis—all his rivals—they seemed pretty tragic too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Xiao Chen should be arriving in the divine capital soon. I’d love to see him clash with the Champion Marquis during the bride-snatching drama.\" Jun Xiaoyao mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a hunch: Xiao Chen’s fate was not yet sealed; his appearance might bring massive change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jun Xiaoyao didn’t care. No matter how Xiao Chen changed, he could never catch up to Jun Xiaoyao’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, Jun Xiaoyao hoped Xiao Chen grew stronger—if he didn’t, things would be dull indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that both pieces are in place, the Panwu Divine Dynasty has no choice but to open the Panwu Tomb to me. Next, I’ll refine these immortal sources and wait for the banquet to begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao murmured, sinking once more into cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As days passed, the date for Wu Mingyue’s selection of an imperial son-in-law drew ever closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forces from all corners converged upon the divine capital like rivers flowing into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the sky, a procession of ancient flying beasts pulled a chariot, thundering across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the chariot flew the banner of the Jun Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spectacle drew the attention of countless onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ancient Jun Clan has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jun Clan really came—was the Divine Son among them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jun Clan’s Divine Son rides a Nine-Headed Lion, but where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could he really not have come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who saw the Jun Clan’s procession looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew the Jun Clan’s Divine Son traveled with a Nine-Headed Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, there was no sign of the Nine-Headed Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the chariot, Jun Zhangjian and several other sequels sat together, discussing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the Divine Son already arrived in the capital?\" Jun Zhangjian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He must have. But the Young Master has his own plans—we shouldn’t disturb him,\" Jun Linglong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was perceptive; she knew Jun Xiaoyao had departed ahead of them for a reason, and didn’t want them tagging along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. How could we possibly understand the Divine Son’s intentions?\" Jun Xuehuang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, the Champion Marquis’s words were truly irritating—who gave him the nerve to challenge the Young Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Wanjie’s eyes crackled with lightning, his tone brimming with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted the Champion Marquis was no weakling—but to think he could crush Jun Xiaoyao? Pure fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a clown. The Divine Son will crush him with a flick of his wrist,\" Jun Xuehuang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all had absolute confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gates of the imperial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Why are you wrapped up so tightly? Lower your hood—we need to inspect you,\" the city gate guard said to a black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dared not stop or inspect the transcendent prodigies like Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But common cultivators? They couldn’t escape inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure slowly lowered his hood, revealing a refined, handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Chen’s face bore an expression of iron resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the city gate guards were awed by his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Okay, go ahead,\" the guard swallowed hard, not daring to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint aura Xiao Chen revealed was nearly equal to that of an immortal faction’s prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All or nothing—this is it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils had turned a deep, sky-like blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath his skin, faint azure dragon patterns flowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being purified by the Supreme Blood, Xiao Chen’s cultivation surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had broken directly into the peak of Cultivation Base: Unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his Azure Sky Transforming Dragon Art had, through the Supreme Blood, reached perfect completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the perfected Azure Sky Transforming Dragon Art was a Supreme Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, he had extracted and comprehended numerous martial arts and divine arts from the Azure Dragon bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Xiao Chen was now more than a hundred times stronger than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surge in power had granted him immense confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I will wed Mingyue and become the Panwu Divine Dynasty’s imperial son-in-law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it’s the Champion Marquis or Jun Xiaoyao—I will crush them beneath my feet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ultimate victor can only be me, Xiao Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c981e78781b7299622310d88c9355eb66d15fb91d86b172f754352f80ee16dad","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-105","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-103",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
