If he perishes inside the treasure, it would be an irreparable loss for your family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder of the Azure Dragon Lineage of the Ancestral Dragon Nest sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, rest easy.

That’s the Azure Dragon Lineage’s Divine Daughter from the Ancestral Dragon Nest—why did she emerge so quickly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, and she’s so disheveled—did she encounter some great evil, or did the Supreme One’s corpse revive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Yuan Tian Secret Treasure, tens of thousands had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to age and status, they were forbidden from entering, so they could only watch the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Long Bichi flee in such disarray, many were astonished, assuming she had encountered some monstrous threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void, the Azure Dragon Lineage Elder’s mocking smile froze, his expression twisting unnaturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had his own Divine Daughter emerged so soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why was she so disheveled? Clearly, she had been driven out in flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Green-skin eel, keep laughing—why don’t you continue?” Jun Zhantian roared with laughter, utterly delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Dragon Lineage Elder’s face turned ashen; he said nothing, flickered forward, and landed beside Long Bichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bichi, what happened? Where’s the Dragon Bone?” the Elder demanded urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else was trivial—the Dragon Bone was their sole objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gone. All four ancient Dragon Bones, and the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone—all gone…” Long Bichi bit her lip until it bled, her face pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Even the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone?” The Azure Dragon Lineage Elder nearly fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone—there were barely a few such bones stored in the entire Ancestral Dragon Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, gone before their very eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who? Who took it?” the Azure Dragon Lineage Elder hissed, teeth clenched, unable to remain calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jun… Jun Xiaoyao…” Long Bichi whispered, her body trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely uttering his name triggered instinctive fear in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xiao Chen and others had been present, Long Bichi knew they were merely playthings in Jun Xiaoyao’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Him?” The Azure Dragon Lineage Elder’s expression stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, he had hoped Jun Xiaoyao wouldn’t be too badly beaten by Long Bichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the beating was brutal—but it was Long Bichi who had been beaten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slap was too swift, offering no time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he was driven out by the Jun family’s Divine Son—no wonder…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Long Haotian died in the Jun family’s Divine Son’s hands; this Long Bichi was lucky to escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators nearby had heard Long Bichi’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though surprised, they weren’t truly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the Jun family’s Divine Son had become the symbol of invincibility among the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well? Green-skin eel—do you admit defeat now?” Jun Zhantian gloated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His precious grandson had brought him immense glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Dragon Lineage Elder’s nose nearly crooked from rage—he could not speak a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew reclaiming the Dragon Bones from the Jun family was harder than climbing to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Elder. I’ve disappointed you,” Long Bichi said, her face ashen, utterly devoid of the earlier grace and vigor she had shown upon arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dare say she hadn’t even clashed with Jun Xiaoyao—he had simply struck her down with one blow, terrifying her into fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were known, it would bring shame upon the Ancestral Dragon Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, Ji family Elder Ji Bangyin shook his head: “It seems the Azure Dragon Lineage’s Divine Daughter is nothing special.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji Bangyin, pray your Ji family’s one doesn’t clash with my grandson—otherwise, hmm…” Jun Zhantian shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jun Zhantian, do you think Long Bichi compares to Ji Xuan? He came prepared. If a clash truly occurs, you should be the one worrying about your Jun family’s Divine Son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Bangyin smiled, calm and composed, his confidence radiating from his very bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jun Zhantian cast a skeptical glance at Ji Bangyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Ji family’s young Saint truly might stir up some waves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the outside world buzzed with chatter over Long Bichi’s defeat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>deep within the Yuan Tian Secret Treasure, Ji Xuan, clad in elegant robes and holding an ancient talisman, stepped calmly into the deepest chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him stood a solemn, majestic black divine tower, ancient and vast, rising like a pillar holding up the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final great opportunity lies here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s eyes gleamed with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so much planning, he could finally claim this great opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at that moment, a cold, mocking voice echoed from behind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji Xuan, thank you for leading the way, you little treasure-hunting mouse…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","73ba976d7ab5f63c177aa8242b1a219f3057ab701a642d862b1a45da1e49b062","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-69","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-67",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
