This was not the first time the Stone Emperor had heard Jun Xiaoyao's name.
He was personally sealed by his father, Stone Emperor, and only awakened from the Immortal Source during this golden age.
And after awakening, the name he heard most was Jun Xiaoyao.
To be honest, the Stone Emperor was somewhat dismissive of him.
In his opinion, if he had been born earlier, how could Jun Xiaoyao have the reputation of being invincible among the younger generation?
"Jun Xiaoyao, what a Jun Xiaoyao!"
"He's quite bold, not only killing my follower but even Senior Qilin was killed."
If only Bone Woman had been killed, then so be it.
But the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin had also fallen.
That was his father, Stone Emperor's, companion Spirit Beast.
Even if one didn't look at the monk's Face but the Buddha's, few would dare to truly harm the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin, out of respect for the Stone Emperor.
The only explanation was that Jun Xiaoyao didn't put the Stone Emperor in his eyes at all.
However, that was indeed the case.
Jun Xiaoyao was already thinking about how to refine the Stone Emperor.
"That Jun Xiaoyao is truly hateful; he even refined all of them," the follower said, his Face also looking very grim.
For the Holy Spirit lineage,
the biggest taboo was undoubtedly being treated as a resource.
Anyone who dared to use the Holy Spirit lineage as Materials for forging weapons would incur the wrath of the Holy Spirit lineage.
"However, is the news about Jun Xiaoyao in the Borderland true?" the Stone Emperor asked.
"That is indeed true," the follower replied.
A hint of solemnity appeared in the Stone Emperor's eyes.
Although he was arrogant and overbearing, he was not a fool.
He could verbally disdain Jun Xiaoyao, but he couldn't truly treat Jun Xiaoyao as a waste.
"You may withdraw for now; I will naturally meet that Jun Xiaoyao when the time comes," the Stone Emperor waved his hand.
"Yes," there was a hint of excitement in the follower's eyes.
Is the Stone Emperor finally coming out of seclusion?
After the follower retreated, a coldness surged in the Stone Emperor's eyes.
"He only relied on special external forces to suppress the ultimate calamity, but the true calamity is more than just the calamity of the foreign realm."
"When the true great calamity and turmoil arrive, that's when my father will emerge to contend for the true Heavenly Mandate."
"At that time, it will also be when my Holy Spirit Island completely rises and dominates the Immortal Domain!"
Flames of ambition surged in the Stone Emperor's eyes.
The Holy Spirit lineage also had deep foundations, having nurtured countless Holy Spirits throughout history.
If they were truly united and combined,
they were actually not much inferior to the Ancient Royal Family, the Supreme Immortal Court, or the Jun Family.
...
Jun Xiaoyao, naturally, did not know the Stone Emperor's thoughts.
But he didn't care either.
At Fufeng King's Quasi-Emperor speed,
it wasn't long before they returned to the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
At this moment, a trace of nostalgia also appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Since embarking on the Emperor Road, it had been a long time since he had returned to the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
What was the reason Jun Xiaoyao so desperately wanted to become stronger?
Besides wanting to reach the Peak, overlook the ages, and unravel all the mysteries of the world,
another important reason was to protect his relatives, Family, loved ones, and confidantes.
Jun Wuhui also held this belief, which was why he was so persistent.
"Brother Xiaoyao, are you feeling nervous about returning home?" Jiang Luoli smiled.
"After we go to the Jun Family, we also need to return to the Jiang Family," Jiang Shengyi said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, riding the Azure Sky Roc, and descended towards the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Huang Province.
The Jun Family was as prosperous as ever.
Since the Immortal Battle, the Jun Family had destroyed numerous Immortal Forces and had become the undisputed overlord of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
It could even be said that almost the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was the Jun family's territory.
Even Ancient Desolate Families and Immortal Forces like the Ji Family, Ye Family, Human Immortal Sect, Demon Immortal Sect, and Little Western Heaven had always maintained a low profile, never clashing with the Jun Family.
The Jun Family's prestige was already widespread.
Some time ago, after the Jun Family's Old Ancestors returned and spread the news from the Borderland,
the Jun Family's reputation immediately soared again!
The father and son, Jun Wuhui and Jun Xiaoyao, had almost been mythologized.
Unlike the Luo Tian Immortal Domain, the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was the Jun family's territory, so the Jun family naturally spread this news quickly.
The entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was in an uproar.
The Jun Family was also in a state of extreme excitement and joy that had not diminished in the slightest.
And at this moment, in the Huang Province Jun Family,
a vast shadow obscured the sky.
"Who is it!?"
A Jun Family guard shouted.
However, when they saw the figure standing on the Roc, their Faces immediately turned to shock and excitement.
"The Divine Child has returned!"
A resounding bell rang, spreading throughout the Jun Family.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
From various parts of the Jun Family, and from the ancestral hall, countless figures shot into the sky.
"The Divine Child has returned!"
"He's finally back; let's see who still dares to say that the news from the Borderland is false!"
"Haha, Xiaoyao is back!"
Dense figures appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao's arrival almost startled the entire Jun Family.
"Oh, the Fairy from the Jiang Family is here too."
Some Family members saw Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli, and a knowing smile appeared in their eyes.
"Xiaoyao, it's good that you're back."
The Eighteenth Ancestor, Sixteenth Ancestor, and others appeared, showing joy.
"Haha, grandson, you're here!"
At this moment, a rough and excited voice rang out.
Hearing these words that sounded somewhat like an insult, Jun Xiaoyao broke into a sweat, immediately knowing who had arrived.
An old man with white hair and beard rushed over excitedly; it was his grandfather, Jun Zhantian.
"Your grandson made you worry," Jun Xiaoyao said, cupping his hands.
"Haha, it's good that you're back safely," Jun Zhantian said with great emotion, his old eyes even turning a little red.
And at this moment, another graceful and beautiful woman appeared; it was Jiang Rou.
"Mother," Jun Xiaoyao bowed slightly.
Jiang Rou's eyes reddened, and she hugged Jun Xiaoyao tightly.
Heaven knew how much she had worried about Jun Xiaoyao.
Her two most cherished men, Jun Wuhui and Jun Xiaoyao, were both striving and fighting outside, in the most dangerous situations.
Jiang Rou could hardly rest or have a peaceful sleep.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. He…" Jiang Rou wanted to say something.
"Father said he has his own matters and responsibilities, so he won't be back for now," Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
Jiang Rou bit her lip.
It was impossible for her to have no resentment at all.
She resented Jun Wuhui for not having returned to see her all these years.
"However, Father told me that he is sorry for you," Jun Xiaoyao continued.
Jiang Rou's eyes reddened, and tears fell.
She resented him, but she truly couldn't hate him.
What could she do when her husband was a great hero who cared for the common people and stood tall against the heavens?
"Alright, Xiaoyao is back, so we should be happy. Although Wu Hui hasn't returned, there's no need to worry too much about him," the Eighteenth Ancestor advised.
"Exactly, in our generation, Wu Hui was equivalent to Xiaoyao's status; believe in him."
A majestic middle-aged man appeared; it was Jun Xiaoyao's second uncle, Jun Wuhui's brother, and the current Family Head of the Jun Family, Jun Wuyi.
Jun Xiaoyao's arrival even startled the Family Head, Jun Wuyi.
It could be said that now, in the entire Jun Family, Jun Xiaoyao was almost the absolute center.
The status of any Elder, Family Head, or even Old Ancestor could not compare to Jun Xiaoyao's.
Because he represented the future and hope of the Jun family!
