Villain: Starting with a Flawless Body, Born Invincible

7: The eldest princess of the Immortal Dynasty, An LuoxinThe Jun Family’s training ground was on a circular Floating Island. This island was specifically used as a training ground, several miles long and wide. In the center was the God Tablet Platform, and around the God Tablet Platform were eight square arenas. Many young Prodigies competed and fought here, creating a magnificent and indescribable scene.

The God Tablet was a rectangular stele, but it was strangely adorned with floating stone decorations, making it incredibly mystical.

Furthermore, this God Tablet could not only test but also record the tester’s results, which would then appear on the surface of the stele.

This stele was not exclusive to the Jun Family; other great Families also had them, and others’ results would also be synchronized onto this stele. Although it couldn’t record exactly who, it displayed rankings by Family.

On one side of the stele, two rows of characters appeared:

Talent:

1: Ye

2: Lin

3: Jun

4: Qiu

5: Qin

6: Chu

7: Zhang

8: Wen

9: Fang

10: Li

Combat Power:

1: Jun

2: Qiu

3: Lin

4: Ye

5: Zhang

6: Qin

7: Chu

8: Li

9: Wen

10: Fang

The rankings were not just for the Jun Family but for all Ten Chiefs Families combined. Getting on the list was simple: as long as someone’s talent or combat power was high, they could raise their Family’s ranking.

The Jun Family’s outstanding strength was related to its creed: struggle, plunder, possession.

The younger generation of the Jun Family would also come to test themselves from time to time, hoping to raise the Jun Family’s talent ranking to the top, achieving first place on both lists. This would cause the God Tablet to resonate, earning the admiration of all.

At this moment, a girl, approximately fifteen years old, stood before the God Tablet, clearly preparing to test herself.

The girl wore a magnificent black and gold strapless palace gown, like a blossoming flower in a palace garden, vibrant and captivating. Her graceful figure was elegantly outlined by the form-fitting gown, making her appear as alluring as a blooming flower. More importantly, her peach blossom eyes, both charming and seemingly aloof, shone with her unique brilliance, naturally drawing people’s gaze.

Her face was elegant, her attire luxurious, her figure graceful, and her demeanor cold.

However, everyone present knew that this person... was not from the Jun Family.

”Princess An is here today too. I wonder what’s up with her? It seems like she’s been coming for several years in a row, hasn’t she?”

”Exactly. She’s clearly the Imperial Dynasty’s Eldest Princess. One test should be enough. I just don’t know why she’s been coming once a month for the past few years.”

”What a pity. Princess An possesses the Emperor Realm Physique, said to be the Physique that founded the Eternal Imperial Dynasty in ancient times. It’s just a shame she’s not a member of our Jun Family and cannot enter the God Tablet.”

”Not only can she not enter, but the Imperial Dynasty is also a vassal of our Jun Family. If she wants to obtain more cultivation resources, she still has to choose a Dao Child to serve. Many Dao Children have extended invitations, but she’s rejected them all. As expected of the future Empress, she’s very arrogant.”

”Didn’t rumors say she was quite close to the Tenth Dao Child?”

Everyone watched the woman in the palace gown, discussing her in hushed tones.

And she was An Luoxin, the Eldest Princess of the Immortal Dynasty, a vassal of the Jun Family.

Although she wasn’t a Jun Family member, her influence within the Jun Family was considerable. After all, if a Dao Child could gain this princess’s allegiance, it would mean that Dao Child had an Imperial Dynasty backing him.

Moreover, the Emperor Realm Physique was also rare in the world. Although one couldn’t Cultivate to Great Emperor, if one didn’t perish and had sufficient resources, one could reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm, which was quite remarkable.

While a Quasi-Emperor was not much in the Jun Family, if placed in even a thousand Dao Provinces, they would be an independent power, definitely considered a strong individual.

Whether it was her delicate little face, her graceful figure, the Imperial Dynasty behind her, or her Heaven-Defying Physique, she was a coveted prize. Therefore, all ten Dao Children of the Jun Family had extended olive branches to her.

Unfortunately, this future Empress had rejected them all.

Some also speculated that her purpose for coming here consistently for the past few years was to wait for someone.

Perhaps that Heaven-Defying Divine Child?

”Four-Fold Palm!”

As everyone discussed, An Luoxin’s fair, jade-like hand had already slammed onto the God Tablet. A seemingly light palm strike, yet it produced a tremendous roar!

With a bang!

The force of the palm immediately appeared on the God Tablet.

Eighty-six thousand force!

Innate Dao Embryo 141, top-tier talent!

”For pure physical strength at this age, only a Saint Body can reach 100,000 force. 80,000 force is already the limit for an ultimate Genius, isn’t it?”

”Truly impressive. One must remember that her Physique is not a Body Cultivator Physique. Only our Jun Family’s Dao Children can compare to her, right?”

”More than that, if she were born into the Jun Family, she would probably be one of the Dao Children. Last month it seemed to be 81,000 force? Her progress is incredibly fast.”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, but An Luoxin’s clear, cold face showed no expression. She silently descended from the God Tablet Platform, walked to a nearby Elder’s table, and picked up the sword placed on it with her jade-like hand, striking a round stone also on the table.

The stone was crystal clear, but it still bore several sword marks, left by who knows whom.

In this world, there were Body Cultivators and Dao Cultivators. Most Dao Cultivators were Sword Cultivators, and the Jun Family was a Sword Cultivator Family. Before the God Tablet existed, they always used this method to test the strength of Family Disciples.

Clang!

After a crisp sword cry, the nearby Elder said while recording:

”An Luoxin, eight sword cries!”

As these words fell, another wave of shock spread through the surroundings. The Jun Family had a Sword Dao Genius who could produce thirteen sword cries and even carve sword marks into this stone. An Luoxin’s achievement was already very good.

However, An Luoxin listened to the surrounding flattery with no joy or sorrow in her eyes. She merely looked around, and after failing to find the person she sought, her gaze dimmed slightly.

Actually, An Luoxin had a secret.

Although she was the Eldest Princess of the Imperial Dynasty, seemingly carefree.

But in reality... she harbored a grudge.

A deep, blood-soaked vendetta!

To exact revenge, she had to have an invincible and powerful backer! Only then could she seek revenge! Only then could she avenge her aunt! The current Empress of the Immortal Dynasty!!

For this, she had a bold plan!

The ten Dao Children of the Jun Family were very strong; any one of them, if brought out, would be invincible.

But... it wasn’t enough.

The enemy was the master of the Immortal Dynasty.

So she had to find an even more powerful person to be her backer. Looking at it this way, only one person was suitable.

The Divine Child of the Jun Family... An Luoxin had not been idle. She used all her connections to have her Puppet father propose marriage to Jun Lingxiao of the Jun Family, but she was rejected!

Because the Jun Family had a custom of testing talent.

With no other option, she could only frequently come here, hoping to encounter that young Divine Child and use him to help her get revenge.

But unfortunately... she didn’t encounter him today either.

Thinking of this, An Luoxin was already planning to leave, but just then, a slightly mocking voice came.

”An Luoxin, look, without the Jun Family’s resources, 86,000 force is already your limit.”

A slightly chubby young man walked over, his eyes full of mockery.

”It’s Rong Junxian, the young master of the Rong Family! Although they are both vassals of the Jun Family, their Family has already explicitly pledged allegiance to the Tenth Dao Child, Jun Hongxuan. And Rong Junxian was sent to the Jun Family at the age of eight to serve the Tenth Dao Child. It’s been five or six years now, hasn’t it?”

”Isn’t it? The Tenth Dao Child treats him like a blood brother. His status is even higher than ours.”

Rong Junxian paid no attention to the gossip around him. As he walked, he continued to mock An Luoxin:

”My young master reached the Spirit Dao Realm at ten years old. That year, his pure physical strength was 93,000 force, Innate Dao Embryo 135, and nine sword cries! This talent, not to mention how much it surpasses yours, definitely overwhelms you. It wouldn’t be a loss to join my young master’s tutelage like me. My young master even personally sought you out, but you actually didn’t know what was good for you!”

Rong Junxian spoke with a bit of a dog-riding-on-a-tiger’s-might attitude. They were all vassal Families, but just because you had the title of a princess, you could be so arrogant?

The Jun Family wasn’t without Imperial Dynasty princesses, and that was the Tenth Dao Child, Jun Hongxuan, personally extending an invitation! Yet she still refused!

What else could this be but not knowing what was good for her?

An Luoxin had heard this speech several times before. She responded indifferently, ”Your young master, Jun Hongxuan, is indeed very powerful. As one of the Ten Paths, he is naturally a peerless Prodigy, but it’s not enough.”

One of the Ten Paths was far from enough for her revenge.

The enemy was the Immortal Dynasty, with a Legacy spanning tens of thousands of years.

She was not a fickle person. Once she made a choice, she would wholeheartedly assist. This was a life-altering decision, so naturally, she had to be cautious.

However, Rong Junxian knew nothing of her revenge. He only felt that she was ungrateful and too pretentious, and what she said was ridiculous.

”One of the Ten Paths is not enough?”

”Do you perhaps want to follow the Chief of the Ten Paths? That person is a great figure solely devoted to the Dao. How could he possibly lower himself to look at you?”

”Have some self-awareness. If you weren’t somewhat attractive, my young master wouldn’t be so kind to you!”

Rong Junxian scoffed, his face full of ridicule.

But how could he know that An Luoxin wished to follow not just any of the Ten Paths, but the Divine Child above the Ten Paths!

If one were to ask why, it was because of her Physique!

In fact, her Physique was not the Emperor Realm Physique at all, but an ultimate Dual Cultivation Physique!

And it was one that, if exposed, would bring about utter disaster—one of the Ten Great Saint Physiques, the Supreme Dual Cultivation Physique!

Furthermore, behind her was an Imperial Dynasty!

She would use her Physique, her Imperial Dynasty, all just to achieve her revenge!

Was it a loss?

A great loss.

One could say this was her everything. Using her everything for revenge was too great a loss.

But!

This was the grudge of her mother’s murder; she had to avenge it! And she must!

Only Jun Lingxiao, the Divine Child whose birth could make Great Emperors bow, could help her! In this era of contention, the great age had arrived. Prodigies sprouted like bamboo shoots, and no one in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces could claim to be invincible, no one dared to declare themselves undefeated.

Only he, Jun Lingxiao!

At the age of ten, in the imperial palace, she inadvertently looked up and saw the indescribable scene of Innate Saints kneeling and Great Emperors bowing, and she understood.

That was the person who would suppress everything and lead an era!

Although it was a transaction, she would ultimately entrust herself to another.

And An Luoxin was such a proud person. She did everything perfectly, excelling even more than peerless Prodigies in everything she did!

Although it was a transaction, although it was utilization, ultimately she would still entrust herself to him. Once decided, he would be her man.

And An Luoxin, such a proud person, how could her man be an ordinary mortal?

The Ten Paths?

Don’t be ridiculous. Only that supreme, one-of-a-kind Divine Child was worthy of her devotion, worthy of her service, worthy of her waiting.

If she didn’t find him this month, she would come next month. If she didn’t find him this year, she would come next year!

Thinking of this, An Luoxin decided to take one last look, then come again next time.

But she didn’t expect that with just this one glance, she would freeze.

”It’s him...” An Luoxin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

She saw a child high in the sky, riding a Qilin, descending onto the training ground. He wasn’t dressed exceptionally, a black and gold Dao robe fit him well, but his aura was different from everyone else. His independent demeanor seemed so out of place with everything around him.

He simply landed lightly on the edge of the training ground. It was just one person, who, when she was disappointed, giving up, and completely unprepared, entered An Luoxin’s line of sight.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered... Oh right.

She had seen him.

At the age of thirteen, she had followed the palace staff to the Jun Family to propose marriage. From afar, she had seen him at three years old, closing his eyes to Cultivate, looking adorable.

At that time, she had assumed their engagement would be without issue, so she preemptively looked at him with the eyes of a future partner.

Although he was still young, well... raising him wouldn’t be impossible.

She originally thought this, but later the engagement became hopeless, and she was so disappointed. Yet, two years flew by, and the child from back then had grown into a young man in places she couldn’t see.

Two years, and he seemed to have completely changed.

And yet, she recognized him at a glance.

An Luoxin’s gaze swept over Jun Lingxiao’s body, over his handsome and adorable little face, finally resting on the tear mole beneath his right eye.

It perfectly echoed the saying:

After all the twists and turns, he was back under her watchful eye.

Just like the first time she saw him.
