The Jun family was one of the best forces in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.
Just one action on their part could drastically change the state of the Huangtian Mystic Realm.
It was especially true this time since the star of the Jun family’s banquet was their mysterious divine child.
As the son of Jun Wuhui, the White-clad Divine King, Jun Xiaoyao received attention from everyone throughout the Huangtian Mystic Realm.
The Ten Years Old Banquet would mark Jun Xiaoyao’s introduction into the world. It couldn’t possibly be some insignificant event.
…
Qing State was one of the three thousand mystical states of the Huangtian Mystic Realm. The state was the domain of the Jiang family, who was a part of the Clan of the Ancients.
Jun Xiaoyao’s mother Jiang Rou was from the Jiang family.
Having once been the divine lady of the Jiang family, she enjoyed being of such a high status.
In a misty and picturesque place within the Jiang family’s territory, a young woman wearing a snow-white dress stood there, waiting for someone to arrive.
The woman had a slender and elegant figure, a fair complexion, and flawless skin.
Her long black hair fell over her back, reaching her ample backside.
She had a lovely and delicate face with arched eyebrows, bright eyes, cherry lips, and shiny white teeth.
She was truly easy on the eyes; she looked as if she had descended from heaven.
“There will be a banquet for my nephew’s tenth birthday, but I have never met him before,” the woman muttered to herself as she cracked a smile.
She was Jiang Shengyi, a distant cousin of Jiang Rou. That technically made her Jun Xiaoyao’s aunt even though they weren’t direct relatives.
Jiang Shengyi was the youngest family member in Jiang Rou’s generation. Despite being only 24 years old, she was ravishingly beautiful and at her prime.
Just then, she heard a soft voice ring out from the distance.
“Why did you ask me to come here, Sister Shengyi?”
A young girl around 12 years old elegantly walked toward Jiang Shengyi.
She had a lithe and petite figure. Her hair was tied into two twin-tails that slightly bounced every time she moved.
Her wide eyes sparkled under her long, fluttering eyelashes. She had a large and straightened nose, along with red and juicy lips.
Her smile looked especially lovely, showing two protruding canine teeth and a pair of dimples on her cheeks.
The young girl seemed like a charming elf, being both smart and delightful.
“Luoli, you have the Dimensional Spirit Vessel. That kind of body is the closest to the source of mystic energy. Why are you not taking your cultivation seriously?”
Jiang Shengyi glared at Jiang Luoli before tapping the latter’s forehead with her slender finger.
Jiang Luoli covered her forehead and blinked her eyes. “Hehe. Sister Shengyi, aren’t you the divine lady of the Jiang family? Besides, you have the Innate Energy Vessel. Why do I still need to cultivate when we have you?” she said with a mischievous smile.
Jiang Luoli was the precious daughter of the Jiang family that Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian had been talking about.
“You’re such a little rascal. Ah, well. Anyway, I asked you to come here because I wanted to talk to you about something serious. In a few days, I need you to come with me to the Ten Years Old Banquet the Jun family is holding,” said Jiang Shengyi.
Jiang Luoli asked, “Isn’t that the banquet for the divine child of the Jun family?”
Jiang Shengyi laughed. “That’s right. You can finally meet your future husband.”
“What husband? That isn’t something you should joke about, Sister Shengyi.” Jiang Luoli stomped her feet as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Jiang Luoli had never met the divine child of the Jun family before. Why would her family decide that they would be married in the future? The decision was reckless.
Jiang Shengyi continued to tease her. “My nephew must be a brilliant young man. If you turn him down so eagerly right now, you may regret it in the future. I don’t want you to have such regrets.”
Exasperated, Jiang Luoli made a sincere vow. “Humph, well, I’m against the idea of an arranged marriage. I would rather jump off a cliff and die than be engaged to some random man!”
Jiang Shengyi covered her mouth and laughed. “That’s fine, but I vaguely remember something that cousin Jiang Rou told me. Apparently, my nephew is handsome and dashing like a demigod.”
“Is that true?” Jiang Luoli’s eyes widened with a brilliant shine.
Jiang Shengyi burst into laughter. “I’m kidding. I don’t know either.”
She knew that in terms of her future husband’s appearance, Jiang Luoli had very high standards.
An average-looking man could hardly impress Jiang Luoli.
Maybe that was why her Dimensional Spirit Vessel was obsessed with perfection.
Jiang Luoli puffed out her chest and pouted. “Humph! My heart belongs to only the most handsome man in the Huangtian Mystic Realm!”
In her mind, however, she was guessing at what the mysterious divine child of the Jun family looked like.
“Don’t worry. You’ll find out soon.” Jiang Shengyi patted Jiang Luoli on her head.
…
Along with the Jiang family, the Jun family also invited other families of the Clan of the Ancients, Wushang Major Clans, the Undying Dynasty, and so on. The Jiang family wasn’t the only family to be invited to the event.
Some second-rate top forces were also invited, albeit in a less formal manner.
Meanwhile, the lower-level groups were deemed unworthy of being invited at all.
If a lower-level group still wanted to come without an invitation, however, the Jun family wouldn’t tell them to leave. Even then, they wouldn’t be allowed access into the main hall, they could only watch the event from the outside.
As time passed, all three thousand mystical states in the Huangtian Mystic Realm began buzzing with excitement.
A year had passed before the Ten Years Old Banquet that the Jun family held for their divine child finally commenced.
All of Huangtian Mystic Realm made themselves busy that day.
Countless battleships, flying boats, and personal mounts from a large number of groups were seen moving across the sky.
They were all heading in the same direction—the Jun family in the Emperor state!
The Great Shang Dynasty was an ancient regime of humans with a long history and a rich heritage.
Their lavish ships were also steered toward the Emperor state.
“Hey, doesn’t that ship belong to the princess of the Great Shang? I’m surprised that even she is going to the Jun family’s Ten Years Old Banquet!”
“Of course she is. The Ten Years Old Banquet would provide an excellent opportunity for her to establish a relationship with the Jun family. Who would pass that up?”
“You have a point…”
Generally speaking, a person could begin searching for a partner in cultivation once they turned ten years old.
Although the divine child of the Jun family had never shown his face to the public, many princesses were interested in him because of his status alone. That was all it took to convince them to come to him.
If a woman were to marry the divine child of the Jun family, her family could all rise to power.
Therefore, a great number of beautiful women from various forces decided to take their chances at the banquet.
The Holy Land of Dayan also prepared several carriages to bring people to the Jun family’s banquet.
“The last time the Jun family held such a grand event was for the tenth birthday of their Sequence One. The Ten Years Old Banquet for the divine child of the Jun family has to be even more extravagant this time…”
The divine birds pulled the carriages through the sky, carrying with them members of the Ye family of the Clan of the Ancients.
“I heard that Luoli will be there as well. If that’s the case, I have to attend.”
A handsome young man sat in the carriage, wearing a blue robe. While his bright eyes sparkled, he chuckled.
He was talking about Jiang Luoli, the precious daughter of the Jiang family.
An old man with a goatee who sat beside the young man solemnly said, “Young Master Xingyun, the master specifically told us that we’re only going there to attend the banquet. Thus, we should not cause any trouble. He won’t let you off the hook so easily if you messed around at the banquet in the Jun family.”
The old man seemed to be a demi-saint.
The young man was clearly not an ordinary commoner if he had a demi-saint serving him.
The young man loudly laughed. “Haha, no need to worry about that, Uncle Fu. I know how to behave. I’m only there to meet Luoli, not to provoke that divine child of the Jun family.”
This young man was Ye Xingyun, a first-class genius from the Ye family of the Clan of the Ancients.
Among the three thousand different types of bodies, his Kingly Body of Stars was ranked among the top 500. With that body, he could utilize the power of all the stars in the heavens.
Ye Xingyun once caught a glimpse of Jiang Luoli while he was cultivating in the secret realm.
Since then, he never forgot about such a lovely and vivacious young girl.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to see her again until now.
The Jun family’s banquet was the perfect opportunity for him to finally approach her.
A look of determination and confidence grew on Ye Xingyun’s face as he said, “Luoli, you will definitely be mine!”
