throughout the entire Nantian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao’s act of casually subduing the Fifth Sequence and forcing it to submit was widely recounted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was essentially an internal struggle within the Jun Clan, Jun Xiaoyao’s strength could still be glimpsed from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a delicate and opulent pavilion in the western district of Nantian City, a group of young prodigies were gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These young prodigies came from various Daoist lineages and sects, each radiating formidable energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet among them, one young man sat at the center, surrounded by others like stars circling the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man wore a golden long robe, tall and martial, with a handsome face and skin as white as jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most striking about him was his right arm, which seemed to shimmer with divine radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, one could see numerous sacred runes etched and flowing along his arm bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man was Ji Xuan, a renowned heavenly prodigy of the ancient Ji Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the banquet, one young prodigy bowed and praised Ji Xuan: “This time, the Yuan Tian Supreme’s secret treasury will surely be claimed by Brother Ji Xuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, Brother Ji Xuan bears the title ‘Little Saint,’ and is the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy—his status and position are beyond comparison with other prodigies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many young prodigies were flattering and fawning over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s status was more than enough for them to curry favor and cling to his coattails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ji Xuan was not merely a heavenly prodigy of the ancient Ji Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Spirit Academy was an institution of profound depth within the Huang Tian Immortal Realm, with an unbroken lineage spanning countless ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its prodigies were scattered across every major force in the Huang Tian Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many ancient clans and immortal dynasties sent their young disciples to the Holy Spirit Academy for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the most outstanding disciples within the Holy Spirit Academy could earn the title of Holy Son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s attainment of this title alone proved his talent and strength far surpassed those of his peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some prodigies’ gazes subtly drifted toward Ji Xuan’s faintly glowing right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that Ji Xuan’s right arm had fused with a fragment of a Saint King’s bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Saint Realm, Saint Kings were far stronger than ordinary Saints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Saint King could tower over all directions, his prestige echoing across the four seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ji Xuan, now only at the Guiyi Realm, had already fused a fragment of a Saint King’s bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only imagine how powerful his strength had become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his current realm, he could not yet unleash even one or two percent of the Saint King’s bone’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was more than enough to let him tower over his peer prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this fragment of the Saint King’s bone that he earned the title “Little Saint.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of status and position, it reminds me of that Jun Clan Divine Son,” one prodigy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the lively banquet fell unusually silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle atmosphere of suppression emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, they had all heard of Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Wanjie’s affairs in Nantian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these prodigies, let alone Jun Wanjie, even Jun Zhangjian was a figure they could only look up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao, who could casually subdue Jun Wanjie, was for them like the sun and moon in the sky—visible but utterly unattainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some cast glances toward Ji Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, they had praised Ji Xuan’s high status, yet compared to Jun Xiaoyao, it seemed meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s expression showed little change; he picked up a cup of wine and sipped slowly, his eyes deep and unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jun Clan Divine Son…” Ji Xuan murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, when he learned Jun Xiaoyao had appeared in Nantian City, Ji Xuan truly wanted to test himself against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for any other reason—only for the sake of his family’s honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the ancient clans of the Huang Tian Immortal Realm, there had long been a saying: the “Three Imperial Clans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Three Imperial Clans” referred to the three ancient clans with the greatest renown, deepest roots, and most outstanding young prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these, the caliber of the young prodigies was one of the key indicators of a clan’s standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only with a flourishing younger generation could an ancient clan endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji Clan had once been one of the Three Imperial Clans, but now it had been replaced by the Jun Clan, Jiang Clan, and Ye Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jun Clan needed no elaboration—it had consistently produced talent; even a single Jun Wuhuai in the previous generation was enough to secure its place among the Three Imperial Clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current generation boasted the Ten Sequences, and even Jun Xiaoyao, an anomaly and monster among prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiang Clan’s current generation included Jiang Sheng with her innate Dao Body, Jiang Luoli with her Yuan Ling Dao Body, and several other top-tier Royal Body geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Ye Clan, there was no need to mention Ye Xingyun and other Royal Bodies—just Ye Guchen, the reincarnation of the Sword Demon, was enough to sustain the Ye Clan’s fortune for ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Ji Xuan felt a deep sense of injustice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Ji Clan have no geniuses left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ji Xuan was no fool—he knew Jun Xiaoyao was no easy opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he possessed a Saint King’s bone and was himself a top-tier prodigy; he could not simply cower before Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sensed Ji Xuan’s mood had turned sour and forced a laugh: “Hehe, why bring up the Jun Clan Divine Son? Can’t Brother Ji Xuan outshine him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Brother Ji Xuan has already bested a Jun Clan Sequence,” another young prodigy flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t lying outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan had indeed once fought Jun Zhangjian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had relied on his slightly higher realm to gain a slight advantage and won by a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ji Xuan’s strength had grown since then, others wouldn’t have remained stagnant either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jun Xiaoyao—if he doesn’t provoke me, I have no reason to provoke him first. Besides, I once found a fragment of an ancient text in the Holy Spirit Academy’s library, revealing some secrets about the Yuan Tian Supreme and that object…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan murmured inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not come unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had accidentally discovered an ancient scroll in the Holy Spirit Academy’s scripture tower, which contained not only a Yuan Tian Supreme Token but also an ancient talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll faintly recorded some of the Yuan Tian Supreme’s deeds and secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Yuan Tian Supreme’s secret treasury, it seemed, lay a rare and priceless treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If obtained, it could forge an invincible young supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acquiring this opportunity, Ji Xuan had been ecstatic, patiently waiting for the Yuan Tian Supreme’s secret treasury to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the moment had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I seize this chance, I, Ji Xuan, will soar to the pinnacle of the young generation in the Huang Tian Immortal Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, I alone will sweep aside all young suprema of the Three Imperial Clans—who can stand against me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining the scene that might unfold, Ji Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes shimmering with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, at the entrance of Nantian City, a figure cloaked in a hooded cloak entered through the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head, revealing a refined and handsome face—it was Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","30d8035128ca429336e175c8d1819efe405b3401bfc28ad97354726aa7e74fd8","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-53","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-51",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
