Watching the ancestors verbally sparring and going back and forth, all because they wanted to take him as a disciple, Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
However, a faint smile played on his lips.
This feeling was not bad at all.
It gave him a sense of returning to the Jun Family.
It was just a pity...
Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Junior thanks all Seniors for your great kindness, but Junior wishes to walk his own path."
"Of course, if I could have the guidance of the ancestors from the sidelines, it would be Junior's good fortune."
This was Jun Xiaoyao's polite refusal.
However, it was a refusal delivered with high emotional intelligence.
Although he declined, he still gave the ancestors Face, acknowledging that receiving their guidance would be an honor.
In truth, whose guidance did Jun Xiaoyao really need?
He himself was his own best teacher.
"Heh, the younger generation these days is truly remarkable."
"We are old, truly old; we can no longer keep up."
The ancient ancestors present all shook their heads with a smile, showing no signs of anger.
As ancient ancestors, they should be even more pleased to see a member of the younger generation capable of walking their own path.
"Very well, if you have any needs in the future, just speak up," said Ancient Ancestor Yun Guanshan of The Two Elders of Mountain and Sea.
"In that case, Junior does indeed have one matter. I wonder if I might speak of it?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Speak," said Yun Wanghai.
"I would like the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace to dispatch troops and annihilate the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty."
Jun Xiaoyao's words were light and casual, yet they determined the fate of an immortal power!
Hearing this, the expressions of the ancestors present did not change much.
For the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, this was not a monumental matter.
However, several ancient ancestors frowned slightly.
One of them asked, "Yun Xiao, can you explain the reason?"
"Although the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace has the capability, if we were to annihilate a Sacred Dynasty without cause, the repercussions would not be small."
Ultimate powers, while situated at the pinnacle of the Origin Universe, did not mean they could act entirely as they pleased, deciding life and death at will.
If an ultimate power were to annihilate other factions at will, it would ultimately only lead the remaining powers to unite in resistance.
The Yun Sheng Imperial Palace did not fear this, but there was no need to engage in such counterproductive actions that harmed others without benefiting themselves.
However, they felt that given Jun Xiaoyao's character, he would not make such a claim without reason.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao said nothing, but instead took out a recording stone.
Jun Xiaoyao activated it, and an image was projected.
It was the scene from before, in the Demon Suppression Domain, where Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan had conspired with the Calamity Clan to surround and kill him!
Jun Xiaoyao had kept it precisely for this moment.
"This is..."
Upon seeing this scene, the ancestors, including The Two Elders of Mountain and Sea, narrowed their eyes.
"This person is named Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan, the crown prince of the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty. He set a trap and conspired with the Calamity Clan to surround and kill me."
"Although he eventually fell by my hand, Junior feels that we cannot simply let the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty off so easily."
"Otherwise, in the future, could it not be that other Prodigies of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace might also be plotted against in this manner by others?"
"Junior's strength is passable, so I do not mind, but what about others?" Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.
"Preposterous! When at the Origin Academy, I had warned them not to make a move against you. The Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty is audacious; they are simply courting death."
The two ancestors, Yun Guanshan and Yun Wanghai, had their auras surging, and the pressure of the Emperor Realm billowed forth.
"Even if that plan was executed by him alone, the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty cannot hope to clear their name," said Yun Wanghai.
"Indeed, the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace has not had any major movements for a long time, which has caused some people to forget our majesty."
The other ancestors also had cold eyes.
The significance of Jun Xiaoyao to the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace was self-evident.
Yet, that Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty crown prince was actually so audacious.
Fortunately, Jun Xiaoyao was a Prodigy with incredible strength, so he was safe and sound.
Otherwise, if something had gone wrong, their Yun Sheng Imperial Palace would have lost a Chaos Body.
That would be an unimaginable loss!
Seeing the attitude of the ancestors, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
He had originally thought he might need to persuade them.
Now it seemed that was somewhat unnecessary.
This attribute of being protective of one's own was truly ingrained in their Bloodline.
But Jun Xiaoyao still said, "Ancestors, for this operation, we could join forces with the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty."
"Afterwards, we can let the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty unify the other two Sacred Dynasties."
"This not only displays the supreme majesty of our Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, but can also make the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty an ally, or rather, a vassal."
"It is absolutely a sure profit without any loss."
Jun Xiaoyao's words caused the ancient ancestors to reveal expressions of appreciation in their eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao was meticulous and also considered the interests of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
They valued this point highly.
A person, no matter how much of a Prodigy or how powerful they are, is useless if their heart is not with the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
They had previously been concerned about whether Jun Xiaoyao would have any estrangement towards the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao grew up in the Jiehai Yun Imperial Clan, so it was inevitable that he would feel some unfamiliarity with the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace.
But now it seemed there was no need to worry.
"We are aware of this matter; we will arrange it afterwards."
"By the way, Grand Elder, take Yun Xiao to the Ancestral World to select an Emperor Son Residence," said an ancient ancestor from the Earth Pulse.
"Understood."
A white-browed, white-bearded elder with a refined appearance appeared.
He was the Earth Pulse Great Elder Yun Qian, himself an Emperor Realm powerhouse, with a status second only to the ancestors.
"Yun Xiao, follow me."
Great Elder Yun Qian also gave a kind smile to Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, then cupped his hands to the ancestors and said, "I have troubled the ancestors; Junior shall take his leave."
After Jun Xiaoyao left, the sounds of discussion among the ancestors rang out in the palace once again.
"What do you all think?"
"One cannot find a single flaw; it can be said to be perfect."
"If his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo from the Jiehai could also be restored, he would simply be an invincible existence."
"Such a Prodigy is truly unimaginable; even a variable would be nothing more than this."
"Then, should we nominate him for the position of Yun Sheng Young Emperor?"
"With his Aptitude, it is naturally completely fine; even that child Dao Yi might not necessarily be able to suppress this Chaos Body."
Suddenly, an ancient ancestor said with deep eyes, "However, do not forget his other name."
Once these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a moment.
"Jun Xiaoyao, could he really be related to that family?"
"According to news from the Earth Pulse side, I fear there is indeed a connection."
"Do not forget, when he was afflicted with the Curse of the Fallen Immortal, that person made a move, going alone to the Calamity Clan's ancestral land and blocking their gates."
"Although the death of Emperor Blood Witch was not personally caused by him, he certainly played a part in it."
Mentioning that person, the ancestors of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace present were all slightly silent.
That person, although a free spirit who rarely interfered in the affairs of the Jiehai and the Origin Universe, could be said that no power dared to offend him.
Even the ultimate powers of the Jiehai would not dare to offend that big shot lightly.
That was a true big shot, an existence who could Face the source of the Black Calamity without blinking.
"In that case, it makes sense. No wonder that person would make a move; after all, he is the precious treasure of the Jun Clan."
"Then how should we nurture him?"
"Let's not let the child we raise end up acknowledging others as their parents."
Just as the ancestors were discussing this, suddenly, from the depths of this palace, a will as vast as heavenly might was transmitted.
That will was transcendent and supreme, far beyond what the Emperor Realm could compare to!
"Regardless of what Yun Xiao's true identity or background is. As long as we know that he now bears the Yun surname, that is enough."
Feeling this will of heavenly might, the ancestors present were all silent, then nodded slightly.
