Chapter 199: The Tianxuan Continent Is Now Fully Stabilized; Next Goal: The Rise of Fang Han

Jun Xiaoyao asked himself if he was a good man.

But for something that required no effort and could be done with a wave of his hand to help others, Jun Xiaoyao had no hesitation.

Moreover, with the entire Tianxuan Continent under the control of human cultivators, it was as if it were under Jun Xiaoyao's control.

Afterward, the Jun Clan could treat the Tianxuan Continent as a base in the lower realms.

It was essentially claiming a territory.

"First, after I leave the Tianxuan Continent, these six Liexing Divine Puppets will remain, to be placed under the control of trusted human cultivators."

Jun Xiaoyao's first words left the entire hall stunned into silence.

Six Saint-level puppets, given away as if they were nothing—this gesture was beyond imagination for these lower-realm cultivators.

A single Liexing Divine Puppet appearing would likely plunge the entire continent into chaos.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao casually promised to give away six divine puppets.

"Divine Son, this is far too precious."

"Indeed, these six Liexing Divine Puppets are your personal possessions—how could we possibly accept them?"

Many clan lords and sect masters spoke up.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand. "Do you think I lack puppets?"

Jun Xiaoyao's single remark silenced them.

Indeed, if Jun Xiaoyao wanted puppets, it wasn't just Saint-level ones he could get.

Even Saint-King or Great Saint-level supreme puppets, the Jun Clan would give him without hesitation.

But the truth was, there was no need.

After returning to the Immortal Realm, Jun Xiaoyao would naturally be protected in secret by his guardians, such as A-Jiu.

There was no need to rely on puppets for protection.

Thus, once Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Immortal Realm, the Liexing Divine Puppets lost their purpose.

Better to give them to the human cultivators of the Tianxuan Continent than let them gather dust in a space treasure.

After this explanation, many cultivators wore expressions of joy.

With six Liexing Divine Puppets, the Ancient Divine Mountain would think twice before plotting anything.

Jun Xiaoyao continued: "Besides this, I will also contact the Profound Heaven Sect from the Star Continent."

"There is a cross-realm teleportation array between the Star Continent and the Tianxuan Continent—it's convenient. The Profound Heaven Sect obeys my orders. If the Ancient Divine Mountain stirs again, they can send reinforcements."

As for why Jun Xiaoyao didn't simply go to the Central Forbidden Zone and exterminate all the Ancient Divine Mountain beings:

The reason was simple.

Too troublesome.

Jun Xiaoyao disliked trouble, so he left it to the Tianxuan Continent's cultivators to handle themselves.

He trusted they could manage it.

If, even with this help, the Tianxuan Continent's cultivators couldn't defeat the Ancient Divine Mountain, then they deserved to be wiped out.

After hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, the cultivators of the Tianxuan Continent finally relaxed.

Six Liexing Divine Puppets, plus support from the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Ancient Divine Mountain could no longer stir up trouble—only cower and struggle to survive.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao's aura of intimidation and influence would last for a very, very long time.

It might become a lifelong shadow and nightmare for the beings of the Ancient Divine Mountain.

Thus, matters concerning the Tianxuan Continent and the Star Continent were fully settled.

But Jun Xiaoyao's affairs were not yet finished.

First, he still had to go to the Qianlong Continent's Dayin Imperial Court to quell the remaining criminal clans.

Second, see if he could find the remaining Rebellious Ten Sons.

To be honest, Jun Xiaoyao had originally come with the mindset of recruiting followers.

Yet these fate-blessed sons, each lacking the destiny of a protagonist, had all caught the protagonist's disease.

Each was arrogant, self-important—Jun Xiaoyao, helpless, could only teach them humility.

But if possible, Jun Xiaoyao still wished to recruit a few of the Rebellious Sons.

Third, seek out as much world origin as possible.

Fourth, Jun Xiaoyao had not forgotten about the lower volume of the Body Scripture.

Fifth, locate the Ten Realms' Rifts, enter the Spirit Altar, and forge his own path.

Sixth, find Jun Wanjie's sister.

As Jun Xiaoyao carefully reviewed his list, he realized he still had so many tasks left undone.

This gave him a headache.

He had rested for several days at the Nalan Clan.

During these days, Nalan Ruoxi had personally attended to Jun Xiaoyao's daily needs.

Even when Jun Xiaoyao bathed, Nalan Ruoxi would voluntarily serve him—massaging his shoulders, rubbing his back.

What did she use to rub his back?

Naturally, something soft and plush.

Nalan Ruoxi had gone all out in serving him, attending to every detail, leaving him deeply content.

Jun Xiaoyao gladly enjoyed it.

He was no ascetic monk who shunned desire.

As for why Jun Xiaoyao never actively pursued any woman, it was because no woman was worthy of his initiative.

In all the world, women worthy of him were far too few.

But these days had been hard on Su Ziqiong—she had nearly become a neglected wife, her duties of serving Jun Xiaoyao all taken by Nalan Ruoxi.

These days were among the few rare moments of comfort and ease Jun Xiaoyao had experienced since descending to the lower realms.

But this period of relaxation was limited to just these few days.

The tasks still had to be done.

That day, Jun Xiaoyao summoned Dongxuan Ancestor and others.

Since they knew the lower realms best, he had questions to ask them.

"Next, I will go to the Qianlong Continent—can we reach it directly via a cross-realm teleportation array?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Dongxuan Ancestor shook his head slightly. "Divine Son, the Tianxuan Continent cannot directly reach the Qianlong Continent. We would likely need to transit through another continent first, then proceed to the Qianlong Continent."

"I see. Then let us prepare, and depart tomorrow." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Dongxuan Ancestor and the others nodded.

The next day, Jun Xiaoyao set out again, accompanied by the Nine-Headed Lion, Yi Yu, Su Ziqiong, and the three Dongxuan Ancestors.

Numerous Tianxuan Continent cultivators bowed in solemn farewell.

"Young Master, Ruoxi waits for your return—take me to the Immortal Realm…" Nalan Ruoxi murmured, reluctant.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao and his party set out again:

The chaos on the Qianlong Continent had already erupted.

Regional powers rebelled; criminal clans rose.

Dozens of battles, large and small, had already been fought.

Across the entire Qianlong Continent—East, South, West, and North—the fires of war blazed fiercely.

The Dayin Imperial Court sent armies to suppress the rebellions, engaging in bloody warfare with the criminal clans.

Yet in this conflict, one prince's performance surprised everyone in the Dayin Imperial Court.

Even the Dayin Emperor himself was taken aback.

That prince was the Sixteenth Prince, Fang Han.

Almost everyone in the Dayin Imperial Court knew this dull-witted Sixteenth Prince.

But his performance in battle grew increasingly astonishing; his strength surged, surpassing all his brothers and sisters.

Even Jun Ying'er was deeply surprised.

She, too, was glad inside at Fang Han's transformation.

But Fang Han's ambitions went further.

He intended to defeat the criminal clans, become the hero the world admired, and win Jun Ying'er's favor.

Didn't Jun Ying'er say she wished her beloved to be a noble, white-robed, peerless hero?

Then Fang Han would become that hero.
