Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Eighteenth Ancestor Alarmed, Divine Son Identity, Zero Sequence!

”Alright, even the system doesn’t want me to keep a low profile...” Jun Xiaoyao silently quipped to himself.

”Ding, the sign-in location has been refreshed, please sign in at the Taiyue Ancient Stele!”

”The Taiyue Ancient Stele, where is that?” Jun Xiaoyao wondered.

However, this wasn’t urgent. After all, he was just an infant now, and had already signed in to obtain a Great Success of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, which was a perfect start.

The next sign-in location could be found later.

”This time I got the Great Success of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body by signing in. I wonder what I’ll get next time?” Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat expectant.

At this time, Jun Zhantian slapped his forehead and said, ”Oh right, I haven’t given my precious grandson a name yet. How about Jun Changsheng, meaning that he’ll attain Dao and longevity in the future?”

Jun Xiaoyao, being held in the arms, was a bit speechless.

Although the name Jun Changsheng sounded acceptable, he still preferred to use his own name.

”Oh, that’s not appropriate. There are too many people named Changsheng, it’s too common!” Some clan elders shook their heads.

Now everyone and their dog dared to name themselves Changsheng. How could such a common name be fitting for the Jun Family’s Qilin Child?

At this moment, a slightly weak voice suddenly spoke, ”Why not call him Xiaoyao? My husband once said that becoming an immortal is easy, but being carefree is hard. I only hope that my child can live a carefree life in the future.”

The beautiful woman lying on the bed, pale-faced, spoke.

She was Jun Xiaoyao’s mother, Jiang Rou.

Faced with Jiang Rou’s suggestion, Jun Zhantian and the others couldn’t ignore it.

Because Jiang Rou’s identity wasn’t simple either, she was a Divine Maiden of the Jiang Family, an Ancient Desolate Family.

Although the Jiang Family wasn’t as renowned as the Jun Family, it was still an Ancient Desolate Family, so how weak could they be?

”Alright, then Xiaoyao it is.” Jun Zhantian nodded, though he seemed to suddenly recall something and sighed slightly.

Seeing this situation, Jun Xiaoyao’s eyelid twitched.

He only then realized that his father seemed to be absent here.

Could it be another one of those clichéd plots where the father sacrifices to the heavens and becomes immensely powerful?

”Zhantian, don’t worry. Jun Wuhui is the White-clothed Divine King; he wouldn’t fall so easily. And when this child grows up, he might be able to find and help his father,” an elderly woman beside them comforted.

”That’s right, haha, I still have my precious grandson!” Jun Zhantian regained his smile.

Jun Xiaoyao blinked his eyes, secretly remembering his father’s title.

The White-clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui.

Judging from this title, it seemed his father had quite an impressive status...

”If the news that Xiaoyao possesses the Great Success of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body spreads, it might cause a stir in the Immortal Realm. After all, there are many forces secretly wishing ill upon our Jun Family,” a clan elder said with deep meaning.

”Do you mean to employ methods to conceal the Sacred Body’s aura on Xiaoyao?” Jun Zhantian asked.

The other clan elders also slightly nodded.

The tree that stands out is easily toppled by the wind.

Jun Xiaoyao was now considered the Jun Family’s treasure; even the slightest mistake couldn’t be afforded.

”When did our Jun Family descendants learn to be so secretive? Can’t even protect one Sacred Body?”

At this moment, a cold snort suddenly resounded from the heavens.

The entire Jun Family was startled, with countless gazes directed towards the sky above the Celestial Emperor Palace.

”That wave of power...”

”Such a powerful aura, it’s the ancestor slumbering in the Ancestral Hall, crawling out of the coffin!”

”Hiss... even the ancestor has been alarmed?” Gasps of amazement came from all around from the Jun Family.

This was an ancestor-level figure of the Jun Family, whom many Jun Family members might never have the chance to see in their lifetime.

And Jun Xiaoyao, upon being born, had actually managed to attract the ancestor’s attention, leaving many in shock and envy.

Inside the Celestial Emperor Palace, Jun Zhantian and the clan elders, hearing this voice, were also startled, and quickly exited the Celestial Emperor Palace.

In the void above the Celestial Emperor Palace, a massive space fissure split open.

A somewhat gaunt, gray-robed figure appeared.

It was an elderly man in a gray robe, with dust clinging to his head and body, as if having just crawled out of the ground.

But within his withered body seemed to reside a world-shaking power!

As if he had the All Heavens and Myriad Realms underfoot!

”It’s the Eighteenth Ancestor, greetings to the Eighteenth Ancestor!”

Jun Zhantian and the others hurriedly bowed.

This gray-robed elder was truly an ancestor figure of the Jun Family, buried in the Jun Family Ancestral Hall for countless years.

He would only awaken if the Jun Family faced dire transformations or was at the brink of life and death.

Jun Zhantian and the others had never imagined that Jun Xiaoyao’s birth would attract the ancestor’s attention.

The Eighteenth Ancestor’s figure flashed, appearing before Jun Zhantian, and took Jun Xiaoyao into his arms.

His eyes, deep and profound like the sun and moon, gazed upon Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, blinked his eyes, not crying or fussing, but rather showing a hint of curiosity.

”Is this my Jun Family’s ancestor? Such a powerful aura, even more so than grandpa’s.” Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

The Eighteenth Ancestor couldn’t help but burst into laughter: ”Good... good, our Jun Family has produced another True Dragon, and you fools wanted to conceal this child’s brilliance.”

”Eighteenth Ancestor, I was merely concerned that someone might harm my grandson in the future...” Jun Zhantian spoke with difficulty.

Although they were high-ranking, they could only be considered the younger generation before the Eighteenth Ancestor.

”Hmph, I’d like to see who dares! If those old undying ones have the face to attack Xiaoyao, I won’t hesitate to initiate an Immortal Battle, turn the world upside down, and spill blood over a billion miles!”

The Eighteenth Ancestor had a domineering attitude.

Jun Zhantian and others inadvertently swallowed hard.

An Immortal Battle was an enormous conflict initiated by Immortal Dao Lineages of Ancient Noble Families, Supreme Dynasties, and Ancient Royal Families.

In such a battle, the Immortal Realm could be turned upside down, with countless lives lost.

The Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm hadn’t seen an Immortal Battle for a long time.

”I hereby declare, henceforth, this child shall be the Divine Son of our Jun Family. All cultivation resources shall be directed towards him, even if it means forcefully nurturing a Great Perfection Sacred Body!” The Eighteenth Ancestor ordered.

Jun Zhantian and the clan elders naturally nodded in agreement.

No one would be foolish enough not to cultivate a naturally gifted Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that breaks the limits.

”Moreover, grant this child the status of Zero Sequence...” the Eighteenth Ancestor continued.

”What?” The clan elders were shocked.

If it were merely bestowing the title of Divine Son, that would be acceptable since it’s just a symbol of status.

But Sequence was a different matter.

The Jun Family’s sequences were eligible to vie for the position of Patriarch.

The younger generation of the Jun Family counted in the tens of thousands.

Yet, only ten had obtained the sequence status.

Which means only these ten were qualified to vie for the position of Patriarch.

Each of these ten could amaze an era and were the ten most outstanding Celestial Prides of the Jun Family.

And above these ten sequences, there was a Zero Sequence.

Zero represents having nothing and also represents infinite possibilities!

Its status is even above the first sequence!

The previous generation’s Zero Sequence was Jun Xiaoyao’s father, the White-clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui!

”Eighteenth Ancestor, isn’t this somewhat improper? It may cause dissatisfaction among other sequences...” an elderly woman tentatively said.

Each sequence had been achieved after withstanding countless trials to earn this status.

If Jun Xiaoyao were granted Zero Sequence the moment he was born, how would the other sequences feel?

”If they are dissatisfied, let them compete in the future. Only if they can surpass this child can they complain,” the Eighteenth Ancestor waved his sleeve.

His tone clearly showed immense confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao sighed silently.

His grandfather had great expectations for him, the ancestor regarded him highly, plus his father’s mysteries and the hidden issues within the Jun Family.

It seemed he really couldn’t lead a lazy life.

”With an invincible talent, invincible background, system assistance, and such a perfect start, if I still can’t suppress an era, then I can only say I’m too incompetent...” Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
