"Thank you, Divine Child, but… I still have one more impudent request."
Ren Jiangliu slightly cupped his hands towards Jun Xiaoyao.
"What, there's still a request?"
Everyone was surprised to hear Ren Jiangliu's words.
For others, being able to join the Jun Emperor Court was an honor.
Yet Ren Jiangliu dared to make conditions?
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"I hope to spar with the Divine Child."
"Of course, this is not a provocation; I just want to know how big the gap between myself and the Divine Child truly is."
Ren Jiangliu seemed afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would misunderstand, so he added a sentence.
He knew that he could absolutely not be Jun Xiaoyao's opponent.
He just wanted to gauge the difference between them.
After all, he was still the Blood Fiend Sacred Physique, ranked among the top hundred.
He was much stronger than the Desolate Demonic Physique, the Myriad Transformation Physique, and the like.
"Alright, I'll grant your request."
Jun Xiaoyao was not stingy.
A Sacred Physique ranked among the top hundred was still very much worth winning over.
"Then please, Divine Child, enlighten me!"
As Ren Jiangliu's words fell, his entire body erupted with Blood Fiend power, a terrifying aura of slaughter.
It even dyed the sky with a layer of crimson.
Coupled with his Little Heavenly Venerate level strength.
That pressure immediately made some Cultivators present feel uncomfortable.
"As expected of the Blood Fiend Sacred Physique; his strength is even greater than that of some top successors from Immortal Forces."
"Comparable to a seed-level figure…"
Many Cultivators present commented.
Blood Fiend Collapsing Cloud!
This indicated that Ren Jiangliu had pushed his Blood Fiend Sacred Physique to its limit.
Facing Jun Xiaoyao, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
So, with one move, he went all out.
However, Jun Xiaoyao remained motionless.
Only when Ren Jiangliu made his move.
Did he calmly raise his hand and point a finger.
However, that single finger was entwined with Chaos Qi.
It magnified in Ren Jiangliu's eyes, growing larger and larger!
It was like a Chaos Heavenly Pillar, crushing down!
He had no power to resist whatsoever!
Pfft!
Ren Jiangliu grunted, pushed back a hundred zhang, his body trembling.
The entire venue was silent.
A Blood Fiend Sacred Physique, ranked among the top hundred, was repelled by a single finger from Jun Xiaoyao!
The others watched, dumbfounded.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, was calm and composed.
His two bodies were now fused, and although their powers hadn't fully merged, he was still far stronger than with a single body alone.
With a flick of his finger, Jun Xiaoyao sent a sacred pill into Ren Jiangliu's hand.
"Keep up the good work."
"Thank you, Divine Child. I am willing to go through fire and water, and sacrifice everything for the Divine Child and for the Jun Emperor Court!"
Ren Jiangliu directly knelt on one knee before Jun Xiaoyao.
He knew that Jun Xiaoyao had held back.
He didn't want him to be too embarrassed in public.
Otherwise, if Jun Xiaoyao had been serious, it wouldn't have been too difficult to kill him with that single finger.
Ren Jiangliu was a simple person: whoever was stronger than him and could make him lose convincingly, he would follow.
"Rise. Since you are willing to sincerely join the Jun Emperor Court, you are one of us," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"As expected of the Divine Child…"
The Myriad Transformation Physique girl's beautiful eyes sparkled.
That Blood Fiend Sacred Physique was clearly much stronger than her, yet he was still repelled by a single finger from Jun Xiaoyao.
"How do I feel that the Jun Family Divine Child is stronger now than when he fought Emperor Haotian?" someone wondered.
"Have you forgotten? At that time, the Jun Family Divine Child was merely one of the Three Pure Incarnations. The current Jun Family Divine Child should be in his full state."
"So that's it. It seems that in the great battle with Emperor Haotian, the Jun Family Divine Child probably only used half of his strength."
Thinking of this, many Cultivators swallowed hard.
Jun Xiaoyao's strength was unfathomable.
The addition of Ren Jiangliu also made Jun Xiaoyao very satisfied.
He should be suitable for the Dark Department.
Perhaps the King of Assassins would be interested in Ren Jiangliu.
After all, they both walked the Dao of slaughter.
With the joining of Ren Jiangliu, Yao Daojiao, and other Prodigies.
There were also many Prodigies present who wanted to join.
Among them were not a few people with special Physiques, whose Physique rankings were all in the hundreds.
This grand sight left all the Cultivators amazed.
What does a force need most?
It needs fresh blood.
And the joining of young Prodigies like Ren Jiangliu undoubtedly injected fresh blood into the Jun Emperor Court.
These Prodigies were the future pillars of the Jun Emperor Court.
And they all joined under the influence of Jun Xiaoyao.
It is conceivable that in the future, even more Prodigies will join the Jun Emperor Court because of Jun Xiaoyao.
Then the potential of the Jun Emperor Court would be unimaginable!
"Today's grand banquet, I hope everyone eats and drinks well. Soon, I will let you all know the true structure of the Jun Emperor Court."
Jun Xiaoyao's words piqued everyone's interest.
What exactly was the structure of the Jun Emperor Court?
One must know that the more prosperous and vast a force, the more complex its structure becomes.
For example, the Immortal Court was once divided into Nine Great Immortal Lineages.
The Underworld was also divided into the Ten Halls of the Underworld.
What kind of structure would the Jun Emperor Court have?
Everyone waited in anticipation.
Next, naturally, was a scene of clinking glasses.
The masters of many great forces toasted Jun Xiaoyao, speaking with great admiration.
Jun Xiaoyao was clearly a Prodigy of the younger generation, yet he was treated with respect by a group of older generation figures.
To put it bluntly, the grandsons of these great force masters present might even be older than Jun Xiaoyao.
Yet these great force masters, in front of Jun Xiaoyao, acted more like grandsons themselves.
Of course, this was because many of these great force masters also wanted to join the Jun Emperor Court.
After all, the Darkness Turmoil was approaching.
Let alone their forces.
Even Immortal Forces had the possibility of being annihilated.
So they had to find a strong backer.
It was like needing to find the strongest tree and hold onto it tightly when a storm approaches.
And joining the Jun Emperor Court was equivalent to indirectly joining the Jun Family.
This was a highly sought-after good thing.
Jun Xiaoyao also showed no arrogance, conversing very calmly.
This made the smiles on the faces of many great force masters even wider.
And just as everyone was conversing happily.
In the Void Realm, nine white jade Dragon horses suddenly appeared, pulling a magnificent crystal carriage.
Around them were a group of Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Generals accompanying them.
"Those are… the Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Generals of the Immortal Court."
"Could it be that one…?"
The clamor of the entire banquet instantly ceased.
"Xiaoyao, you established a force and held a grand banquet, why didn't you invite me?"
From within the crystal carriage, a melodious and ethereal voice emerged, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.
The carriage curtain was lifted.
A peerless young girl's figure appeared.
Her unparalleled beauty seemed to make the entire world her backdrop.
Her dark hair flowed like a waterfall, reaching to her ankles.
Her pair of glazed crystal-like eyes seemed to reflect the light of the sun and moon.
Although her Emperor Bloodline was not intentionally emitted, it made her temperament exceptionally noble.
As if, for ordinary people, she was an unattainable existence.
This young girl, if not Yuan Che, then who else?
"Is this the last Princess of the Ancient Immortal Court?"
"I didn't expect her to appear!"
"Tsk tsk, the Jun Family Divine Child is quite blessed with female companions."
"Don't say that, the Divine Child is a devoted good man."
Yuan Che's arrival undoubtedly caused the banquet to boil over.
Although she was from the Immortal Court faction, news had long spread that she and Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have an untold story.
"Considering that Princess Yuan Che has only recently broken her seal, she might have many matters to attend to, so I did not invite her. Please forgive me," Jun Xiaoyao said politely.
He also didn't expect Yuan Che to travel all the way from the Huantian Immortal Domain.
After all, the Huantian Immortal Domain and the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain were still a bit far apart.
"Xiaoyao, as long as it concerns you, there are no small matters. Come!"
Princess Yuan Che clapped her jade hands.
Those Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Generals took out various grand gifts from their spatial Magical Artifacts.
"Ten thousand catties of Immortal Source!"
"Five hundred Puppets of the Supreme Realm!"
"One hundred Supreme Magical Artifacts!"
"Five hundred Spirit Herbs!"
"Ten Undying Medicines!"
"Fifty volumes of Divine Ability Cultivation Technique secret manuals!"
"Twenty volumes of Great Emperor-level handwritten notes and insights!"
"One complete Immortal Scripture scroll!"
