Chapter 52 - 52: The Three Great Families, Little Saint Ji Xuan's Plan
After the matter with Jun Wanjie concluded, the news spread throughout Nantian City.
The feat of Jun Xiaoyao casually suppressing the Fifth Sequence and forcing his submission was also widely circulated.
Although this was considered an internal conflict of the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao's strength could also be glimpsed from it.
In the western area of Nantian City, within an exquisite and magnificent pavilion, a group of young prodigies was gathering.
This group of young prodigies came from various orthodoxies and powers, their auras all quite strong.
However, among them, one youth sat in the center, an existence like the moon surrounded by stars.
This youth was dressed in a golden robe, handsome and martial, his appearance striking, his skin as fair as jade.
The most eye-catching thing about him was his right arm, which seemed to flicker with divine light.
If one observed closely, one could see what seemed to be numerous sacred runes imprinted and flowing on his arm bone.
This youth was precisely a rather famous prodigy of the Ancient Aristocratic Ji Family, Ji Xuan.
At this moment, at the banquet, a young prodigy complimented Ji Xuan with a smile, "This time, in Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove, Big Brother Ji Xuan will surely take the top spot."
"Yes, Big Brother Ji Xuan holds the title of Little Saint and is also a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy. His status and position are not comparable to other prodigies."
Many young prodigies were complimenting and currying favor.
Ji Xuan's identity was enough for them to ingratiate themselves and cling to his thigh.
Because Ji Xuan didn't just have the identity of a Ji family prodigy.
He was also a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Academy.
The Holy Spirit Academy was an academy in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm with an extremely profound foundation, its heritage stretching back countless years.
Prodigies who graduated from this academy were spread across all major powers of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm.
Even many ancient aristocratic families and immortal divine dynasties would send some of their younger disciples to the Holy Spirit Academy for cultivation.
And in the Holy Spirit Academy, only the most outstanding disciples could obtain the status of a Holy Son.
For Ji Xuan to obtain this status was enough to show that his talent and strength far surpassed those of his peers.
The gazes of some prodigies also secretly fell on Ji Xuan's faintly glowing right arm.
It was rumored that Ji Xuan's right arm had fused with a segment of a Saint King's hand bone.
Within the Saint Realm, a Saint King was an existence even more powerful than a Saint.
A single Saint King was enough to look down upon all directions and awe the four seas.
And Ji Xuan, currently only in the Unity Realm, had already fused with a segment of a Saint King's hand bone.
One could imagine to what extent his strength would be.
Even with his current realm, he couldn't utilize even ten or twenty percent of the Saint King's hand bone's power.
But it was still enough for him to proudly look down on his peers.
It was also precisely because of this segment of a Saint King's hand bone that he obtained the title of Little Saint.
"However, speaking of status and position, it reminds me of that Jun family Divine Son," a prodigy said.
As soon as these words came out, the lively banquet fell into a rare silence.
A faintly oppressive atmosphere emerged.
These days, in Nantian City, they had naturally also learned about the matter between Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Wanjie.
For these prodigies, let alone Jun Wanjie, even Jun Zhangjian was an existence they needed to look up to.
And Jun Xiaoyao, who could even casually suppress Jun Wanjie, was to them like the sun and moon in the sky, visible but unattainable.
Some people's gazes discreetly shifted towards Ji Xuan.
They had just said Ji Xuan's status was very high, but compared to Jun Xiaoyao, it seemed to be nothing.
Ji Xuan's expression, however, didn't change much. He picked up a cup of wine, sipped it slowly, his eyes exceptionally deep.
"Jun family Divine Son, huh..." Ji Xuan murmured to himself.
To be honest, upon learning that Jun Xiaoyao had appeared in Nantian City, Ji Xuan really wanted to compete with him.
Not for anything else, but for the sake of the family behind him.
For the ancient aristocratic families of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, there had always been a saying of the "御三家" (Yu San Jia - The Three Great Families/Controlling Three Families).
The so-called Three Great Families referred to the three ancient aristocratic families with the greatest reputation, the strongest foundation, and the most outstanding younger generation prodigies.
And among these, the younger generation prodigies were one of the important indicators for measuring the Three Great Families.
After all, only with a flourishing younger generation could an entire ancient aristocratic family be passed down.
The Ji family had also once been one of the Three Great Families, but now, it had become the Jun family, the Jiang family, and the Ye family.
Needless to say, the Jun family had always produced talents in droves. In the previous generation, Jun Wuhui alone was enough to establish the Jun family's position as one of the Three Great Families.
In the current generation, there were the Ten Sequences, and also an anomaly and monster like Jun Xiaoyao.
And the current generation of the Jiang family also had Jiang Shengyi with the Innate Dao Womb, Jiang Luoli with the Yuan Ling Dao Physique, and several other top-tier King Physique geniuses.
As for the Ye family, there was no need to say much about Ye Xingyun and other King Physiques; a single Sword Demon Reincarnation, Ye Guchen, was enough to extend the Ye family's fortune for ten thousand years.
Precisely because of this, Ji Xuan felt somewhat indignant.
Did their Ji family no longer have geniuses?
However, Ji Xuan wasn't a fool either. He knew Jun Xiaoyao was not an easy character to deal with.
But he possessed the Saint King's hand bone and was also a top prodigy; it was impossible for him to be directly afraid of Jun Xiaoyao.
Some people noticed that Ji Xuan's mood wasn't quite right and also forced a smile, "Hehe, why mention the Jun family Divine Son? Could it be that Big Brother Ji Xuan can't compare to the Jun family Divine Son?"
"Exactly, Big Brother Ji Xuan has also defeated a Jun family Sequence," a young prodigy flattered.
They weren't just speaking nonsense.
Ji Xuan had indeed fought with Jun Zhangjian before.
At that time, relying on his slightly higher realm, he had gained a small advantage and only defeated Jun Zhangjian by a few moves.
Now, although Ji Xuan's strength had increased, others wouldn't have remained stagnant either.
"Jun Xiaoyao, if he doesn't provoke me主动 (actively), I have no need to provoke him first. Moreover, I previously found some secrets about Yuan Tian Supreme in a damaged ancient scroll at the Holy Spirit Academy, as well as that item..."
Ji Xuan murmured to himself.
He hadn't come unprepared.
Because he had once accidentally stumbled upon an ancient scroll in the scripture repository of the Holy Spirit Academy. Inside, there was not only a Yuan Tian Supreme Token but also an ancient talisman.
The ancient scroll vaguely recorded some deeds and secrets of Yuan Tian Supreme.
Within Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove, there seemed to be a rare, world-altering item hidden.
If obtained, it could shape an invincible young supreme.
After Ji Xuan obtained this fortuitous opportunity, his heart was greatly uplifted, and he had been patiently waiting for Yuan Tian Supreme's Secret Trove to appear.
And now, the time had finally arrived.
"As long as I can seize this opportunity, I, Ji Xuan, will soar to the heavens and stand at the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm."
"At that time, I alone will sweep through all the young supremes of the Three Great Families. Who can stop me?"
Thinking of the scene that might appear in the future, Ji Xuan took a deep breath, light surging in his eyes.
And at the same time, at the gate of Nantian City, a figure wearing a cloak and a hood entered through the city gate.
He raised his head, revealing a handsome and refined face. It was precisely Xiao Chen!
