I might not even withstand a single strike from him now,” Jun Wanjie thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been in seclusion for nearly a year, yet I’ve only refined six Great Luo Immortal Bones,” Jun Xiaoyao sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that over a hundred peerless, rare Immortal Sources would yield only six Great Luo Immortal Bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consumption was simply too terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If an ordinary cultivator tried to cultivate the Great Luo Immortal Body, they’d spend years just searching for resources,” Jun Xiaoyao mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, if one observed his right arm, they would see faint divine auroras swirling around it, shrouded in immortal essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six Great Luo Immortal Bones Jun Xiaoyao had refined were all concentrated in his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed him to concentrate his power and activate partial effects of the Great Luo Immortal Bones earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Divine Son, on your emergence from seclusion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong and the other three bowed deeply to Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he produced four ancient dragon bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, this…” Jun Zhangjian and the others stared in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each of you takes one of these ancient dragon bones,” Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, this is too precious…” Jun Xuehuang said, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient dragon bones were rare treasures even beyond the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jun Xiaoyao had kept them all, none would have complained—after all, he had done the most work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re family.

No need to refuse,” Jun Xiaoyao smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Jun Zhangjian and the others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions carried a thread of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dragon bones held great value for them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao’s gesture further solidified their resolve to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Young Master, Linglong has something to report,” Jun Linglong stepped forward as if remembering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak,” Jun Xiaoyao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong then briefly recounted the matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom to Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is. I understand,” Jun Xiaoyao nodded calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed again in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding. New check-in location unlocked. Please check in at the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Palace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the system going to give me another freebie?” Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze sharpened, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already planned to visit the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system was indeed thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Young Master, what should we do?” Jun Linglong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her concern was not because of Bai Yuer, but because the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was Jun Xiaoyao’s private power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any threat to it was a threat to Jun Xiaoyao’s interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Issue my order: mobilize the Four Guards—Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain—each with ten thousand troops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao spoke calmly, handing Jun Linglong a golden token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Divine Son Token, symbol of his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s mobilizing the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards!” Jun Zhangjian and the others’ pupils held traces of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards were an extremely powerful force within the Jun Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the Wind Shadow Guard, Imperial Forest Guard, Fire Cavalry Guard, and Mountain Spirit Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Four Guards were not the Jun Clan’s only military force, but they were among its most renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had crushed rebellions across the lands, defended the Jun Clan’s territories in every Daozhou, and wherever they marched, they flowed like an iron tide, unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest among them possessed Nirvana Realm cultivation; many were Heaven-Piercing and Divine Flame Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, ordinary Jun Clan prodigies could never mobilize these Four Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Top Ten Sequences required formal procedures to request them, and could not mobilize large numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Jun Xiaoyao had the authority to mobilize the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Guards without limit—quantity, condition, or restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply presenting the Divine Son Token was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Son, let us go too. Consider it a trial,” Jun Zhangjian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao paused briefly, then nodded. “Very well. Prepare yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Jun Zhangjian and the others bowed and went to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, murmuring: “The Four Elemental Ancient Kingdoms are forces I intend to bring under my control. Who dares pluck my peaches?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao did not believe the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom alone could conquer the other Ancient Kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong had also mentioned that a mysterious force appeared to be aiding the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was worth pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao was curious—who stood behind the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was that person’s goal merely to unify the Four Elemental Ancient Kingdoms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These Four Ancient Kingdoms likely hold deeper secrets—hidden histories. I’ll ask Bai Yuer later,” Jun Xiaoyao murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he went directly to find Jun Zhantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was not significant to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were accidentally destroyed, he would only feel a slight regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Bai Yuer, Jun Xiaoyao had never truly cared—she was merely a pawn in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Jun Xiaoyao now wished to understand was the bronze fragment inside the wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he sought out Jun Zhantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Jun Zhantian saw the bronze fragment, his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoyao, where did this fragment come from?” Jun Zhantian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the Yuan Tian Secret Treasury. It was likely brought from another realm by Yuan Tian the Supreme.” Jun Xiaoyao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no reason to conceal it from Jun Zhantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s it. This bronze fragment is tied to something far deeper,” Jun Zhantian said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao had never seen Jun Zhantian look so grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather, what is the origin of this bronze fragment?” Jun Xiaoyao asked, even more curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of the Seven Inconceivables of the Immortal Realm?” Jun Zhantian said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Seven Inconceivables?” Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","80c24d5a545fdb3dbd822abe8bce1619ce5e4e98e97ecc35255de5d8706fb0b9","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-84","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-82",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
