Chapter 1122 - 1122 Reunited with Loved Ones
Jun Xiaoyao's calm and unhurried voice spread throughout the entire Primordial Emperor City.
From the moment he set foot on the Ultimate Ancient Path, and Heaven sent down the Seven Sovereigns of the Rebellious Lord.
It had all been a game between Jun Xiaoyao and the Heavens of the Immortal Domain.
In the end, Jun Xiaoyao laid down a grand deception and completely fooled the Heavens.
Only now did everyone realize it, after the fact.
They recognized that Jun Bieli's earlier move against Jun Xiaoyao must also have been part of the plan.
Heaven had appointed Jun Bieli as one of the Seven Sovereigns precisely to watch the Jun family tear itself apart.
But Jun Xiaoyao turned the scheme against its maker, dealing a blow directly to the will of the Immortal Domain.
"To outmaneuver Heaven itself — only Jun Xiaoyao could do it."
Countless sighs of admiration rose up across Primordial Emperor City.
"Young Master, you have truly exceeded all our expectations."
Scar Fourth Master and the others arrived, overjoyed.
At the same time, he glanced back into the void behind them and asked tentatively, "Young Master, may I ask about our benefactor…"
"My father? He still has matters of his own to attend to and has not returned." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
At those words, Scar Fourth Master, all those of the Gate-Keeper lineage, and the countless cultivators of Primordial Emperor City fell silent.
Then their eyes filled with a reverence unlike anything they had felt before.
Once the deed is done, he departs without a word, leaving his merit and fame behind.
Jun Wuhui was worthy of every person's admiration.
"Haha, Xiaoyao, that scheme of yours gave even us quite a fright."
The senior patriarchs of the Jun family appeared, along with many elders and clan members.
These patriarchs, who in ordinary times dwelt within the ancestral shrine and held the highest positions.
At this moment, seeing Jun Xiaoyao, they could not have been more warm and amiable, their eyes crinkling with smiles.
"Xiaoyao pays respects to all the patriarchs. I have caused you all to worry."
Jun Xiaoyao descended from the Great Roc of the Azure Sky and clasped his hands toward the patriarchs.
"Xiaoyao, the scene of your birth still flashes in my mind, yet here you are now — no longer any weaker than any of us old ones."
"You even took down the Ultimate Calamity."
The Eighteenth Patriarch was also present and felt immeasurable emotion seeing Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao was so young, yet had already caught up with them — and with achievements like these.
Truly unrivaled throughout all of history.
"Eighteenth Grandfather jests. Without the protection of all of you and the clan, how could Xiaoyao have grown up safe and sound?"
Jun Xiaoyao showed a warm smile.
In the earliest days of his cultivation path, it was the Eighteenth Patriarch who personally guided and taught him — something Jun Xiaoyao held close to his heart.
"Haha, once you return, I'm afraid that fellow Zhantian is going to be beside himself with joy." The Sixteenth Patriarch laughed from nearby.
In this great war between the two realms, the Jun family had sent out several powerful figures to lead.
As for Jun Zhantian and the others, they had not come.
But upon hearing the news of Jun Xiaoyao's return, they would surely be overjoyed.
"Xiaoyao, you have truly lived up to our trust."
A voice came from the void once more.
It was Jun Taixuan, Jun Tai'e, and other ancient patriarchs.
"Xiaoyao pays respects to the ancient patriarchs." Jun Xiaoyao bowed slightly.
He understood that these ancient patriarchs, though rarely seen in ordinary times.
Were, in critical moments, the steadying pillars of the Jun family.
In the earlier Immortal War, Jun Taixuan had been beyond the heavens, destroying the Ancestral Dragon Nest with a single sword.
When trading blows with the Tyrant Body, and a powerful figure from the Tyrant Body's ancestral hall had attempted to intervene, it was ancient patriarch Jun Tai'e who had secretly lent his aid.
So toward these ancient patriarchs, he held deep respect.
"So this is the Divine Son of the main lineage, quite remarkable indeed."
An elderly woman with white-streaked hair looked Jun Xiaoyao over.
She was Jun Cuihua, a quasi-emperor ancient patriarch of the hidden lineage.
At this moment, the hidden lineage's geniuses, including Jun Bieli, were also present.
By now, everyone understood that this had in fact been a performance jointly directed by Jun Bieli and Jun Xiaoyao.
What was laughable was that during this whole time, Jun Bieli had endured no small amount of blame and curses, bearing tremendous pressure.
"It is Xiaoyao who has brought the hidden lineage fully back into the fold of the main lineage. There will be no distinction from now on." Jun Taixuan smiled faintly.
He did not want any rift to remain among the younger generation of the Jun family.
"That goes without saying." Jun Cuihua nodded as well.
"Alright, let's leave some time for these young ones." Jun Tai'e laughed and shook his head.
Then, the ancient patriarchs and senior patriarchs of the Jun family departed.
Though the battle was over, they still had important matters to tend to.
Such as the Calamity Curse — while it could not possibly exterminate the Jun family.
If left unaddressed, it would still cause some trouble and weigh down the clan's progress.
And as those powerful figures of the Jun family departed.
The Jun family's geniuses and young clan members all let go completely, then burst into cheers.
"The Divine Son is incredible, a model for us all!"
"If one could possess even a thousandth of the Divine Son's glory in a single lifetime, there would be nothing left to regret."
"Haha, whatever monsters and demons there were, they only dared to strut around when the Divine Son temporarily lay low — now let's see how many in the Immortal Domain still dare to act so recklessly!"
The young people of the Jun family were all thrilled, sharing in the glory.
"You really did fool all of us."
Jun Lingcang and Jun Moxiao walked over.
Once, the three young titans of the Jun family had shaken the entire Ancient Path.
Now, they gathered once more!
"I'm sorry. I made you worry as well."
Seeing the sincere smiles on their faces, Jun Xiaoyao smiled gently in return.
"We promised to grow and improve together, yet you went and took down the Ultimate Calamity all on your own."
Even Jun Lingcang, who was usually not one for jokes, offered a teasing remark.
"It was nothing but relying on external means. In terms of true strength, you two are in no way lacking."
After such a long time apart, neither Jun Lingcang nor Jun Moxiao had fallen behind in cultivation — both were at the Supreme Realm.
But one was a Double-Pupil bearer and the other possessed the Human Emperor Body, so such strength was only natural.
Besides them, Jun Mulan, Jun Zhanjian, Jun Xuehuang, and other ranked members of the Jun family were also present.
Yet compared to Jun Lingcang and Jun Moxiao, they seemed somewhat reserved.
After all, the gap between Jun Xiaoyao and themselves had grown too vast — it no longer felt like facing someone of the same generation.
It was more like standing before a supremely powerful elder.
"Come now, Mulan — you were never like this around me before." Jun Xiaoyao looked toward Jun Mulan.
Her red hair was tied back in a ponytail, her face striking and spirited, her figure full and shapely.
She was the Jun family's famously bold and brash woman — in the past, she had even referred to herself as elder sister in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
But now she no longer dared to, and gave a wry smile, saying, "The Divine Son is joking."
"There's no need for that. I am still who I have always been." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head gently.
Still, he understood that in many cases, strength did widen the distance between people.
Just then, a group of people approached.
When they saw them coming, Jun Lingcang and the others, along with the main lineage members, all let some of the smiles fade from their faces.
The newcomers were none other than Jun Bieli and the other geniuses of the hidden lineage.
Beside Jun Bieli stood a young woman in blue robes, her features pure and delicate.
In addition, Jun Yinhuang, Jun Qingyan, Jun Lanxi, and other hidden lineage geniuses followed close behind.
Upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Bieli immediately bowed ninety degrees in a deep, formal salute.
The young woman in blue, Li Qing'er, did the same.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm.
To put it plainly, this had simply been part of a transaction and a plan.
So in truth, he bore no real hostility toward Jun Bieli.
But when his gaze fell on Li Qing'er, a faint flicker of surprise showed in his eyes.
"Oh… could it be…"
He sensed it — the surge of Heaven's Great Dao energy flowing through Li Qing'er.
Jun Xiaoyao immediately understood the cause and effect.
"Elder brother Xiaoyao's kindness is something Qing'er will never forget for the rest of her life. I am willing to be your ox and your horse in repayment." Li Qing'er said with heartfelt sincerity.
