Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Twin Beauties of the Jiang Family, Powers Gather for the Banquet, and the Ye Family Celestial Pride’s Intentions

The Jun Family, being a top-tier force in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Their every move causes changes throughout the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Not to mention the protagonist of this banquet is the Jun Family’s mysterious Divine Son.

As the son of the White-clothed Divine King Jun Wuhui, Jun Xiaoyao attracts attention from all corners.

And this ten-year celebration is Jun Xiaoyao’s debut to the world, it’s bound to cause a sensation.

...

One of the Three Thousand Dao Realms, Qingzhou.

Qingzhou, is the territory of the Ancient Desolate Family, the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family is where Jun Xiaoyao’s mother, Jiang Rou, hails from.

Jiang Rou was once the Jiang Family’s Divine Maiden, holding quite a high status.

At this moment, in the Jiang Family Territory, surrounded by mist and colorful auspicious clouds, in the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

A young woman in a snow robe of unparalleled elegance waits for something here.

She is immaculate and pure, with a celestial grace, her white jade body tall and slender.

Her black hair flows like a waterfall, cascading down to her waist.

Her face is like a painting, her arched brows, eyes clear like autumn water, lips vivid red, teeth gleaming.

At a glance, she appears as a fairy descending to the mortal world, breathtakingly beautiful, pleasing to the eye.

”My nephew is having his ten-year banquet; I haven’t seen him yet.” The woman murmured, then suddenly smiled softly.

This woman is Jiang Rou’s distant cousin, lacking much blood relation, but still considered Jun Xiaoyao’s aunt in name, named Jiang Shengyi.

In Jiang Rou’s line, Jiang Shengyi is the youngest, at twenty-four, in her prime beauty, quite a feast for the eyes.

And at this time, from afar came a crisp voice as clear as silver bells.

”Sister Shengyi, why did you call me here?”

As the voice sounded, a twelve-year-old maiden lightly stepped into the void, moving swiftly.

She was petite, with a delicate and nimble figure, her black hair tied into twin ponytails, bouncing lively with her movements.

Her eyelashes were long, eyes lively, her nose gracefully set, lips adorned with cherry colors.

When she smiled, two small tiger teeth became visible, and there were charming dimples on her cheeks, making her look playful and endearing.

This girl seemed to embody the spirit of heaven and earth, like an elf, clever and witty.

”Luo Li, you possess the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, most connected to the origin of the Heaven and Earth Dao, yet you’re not practicing well.”

Jiang Shengyi cast a glance at Jiang Luoli, extending a slender jade finger to tap Jiang Luoli’s forehead.

”Hehe, Sister Shengyi, you are our Jiang Family’s Divine Maiden, possessing the Innate Dao Embryo. With you around, why does Luo Li need to cultivate?”

Jiang Luoli covered her forehead with her small hand, blinking, then smiled playfully.

Jiang Luoli is precisely the shining gem spoken of by Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian.

”You mischievous spirit, alright, this time I called you here to discuss serious matters. Soon, you’ll accompany me to the Jun Family for the ten-year banquet.” Jiang Shengyi said.

Jiang Luoli asked, ”Is it the Jun Family’s Divine Son’s banquet?”

Jiang Shengyi smiled and replied, ”That’s right. You’ll finally meet your future husband.”

”What husband? Sister Shengyi, stop talking nonsense.” Jiang Luoli stomped her foot, her face a bit flushed.

She hadn’t met the Jun Family’s Divine Son yet, how could things be decided so hastily?

”My nephew surely is a rare talent; you’re so quick to oppose it now. But don’t regret it later.” Jiang Shengyi teased.

”Hmph, opposing arranged marriage, I’ll jump off a mountain rather than casually get engaged!” Jiang Luoli declared, puffing in defiance.

Jiang Shengyi covered her mouth with a smile, ”Okay, I think I heard cousin Jiang Rou say my nephew is incredibly handsome, lofty and otherworldly, like an exiled immortal.”

”Really?” Jiang Luoli’s eyes sparkled with interest.

”Just kidding, I don’t know.” Jiang Shengyi chuckled.

She knew well Jiang Luoli was a face-con, with high standards for looks.

Anyone who wasn’t handsome had no chance to catch Jiang Luoli’s eye.

This might also be due to the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, seeking perfection and flawlessness.

”Hmph, any guy I, Luo Li, fancy must be the most handsome in the Immortal Realm!” Jiang Luoli puffed her chest, pouting.

In her heart, she was also curious about how attractive the mysterious Jun Family Divine Son could be?

”Don’t worry, you won’t wait long to find out.” Jiang Shengyi patted Jiang Luoli’s little head.

...

Invited by the Jun Family were not only the Jiang Family but also various other Ancient Desolate Families, Supreme Great Races, Immortal Dynasties, and more.

Even slightly lower first-class influences might receive invitations, though not as formal.

As for lower second-tier influences, they didn’t have the qualifications to be invited.

Of course, the Jun Family wouldn’t reject them from attending on their own, but they were not allowed into the main hall, only able to view from outside.

As time passed, the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm and Three Thousand Dao Realms began to heat up.

A year finally passed, and the Jun Family’s Divine Son’s ten-year banquet opened fully.

On this day, the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm was abuzz.

Countless forces’ ancient warships, flying ships, mounts, and more soared into the sky, transforming into myriad beams of light.

They all headed in one direction—the Imperial State Jun Family!

The Great Shang Dynasty, a Human Race ancient dynasty with a deep foundation and longstanding history.

Luxurious tower ships soared into the sky, heading towards the Imperial State.

”Hey, that’s the Great Shang Princess’ tower ship; she’s going to attend the Jun Family Divine Son’s ten-year banquet!”

”Indeed, this ten-year banquet is an opportunity. Who wouldn’t want to latch onto the Jun Family?”

”That’s true...”

Generally speaking, after one turns ten, they can begin searching for a Dao partner.

Though the Jun Family’s Divine Son hadn’t yet revealed himself, his status and identity alone were enough to make many princesses, noble daughters, and proud daughters of heaven’s hearts flutter, ready to offer themselves.

If chosen by the Jun Family Divine Son, one would undoubtedly ascend to great heights, with their supporting forces rising as well.

Therefore, many beautiful individuals from various forces prepared to attend the banquet, hoping for a stroke of luck.

The Great Inference Sacred Land, with palanquins rising into the void, also prepared to head to the Jun Family.

”The last time the Jun Family hosted such a grand ten-year banquet was for the first sequence, but now it’s even more extravagant for the Divine Son’s...”

The Desolate Ancient Ye Family had a divine bird pulling the palanquin into the sky.

”It’s said that Luo Li will also be attending; in that case, I surely can’t miss it.”

Inside the palanquin, a young man of refined features with sword-like brows and starry eyes chuckled lightly, a gleam in his eyes.

By ”Luo Li,” he referred to the pride of the Jiang Family, Jiang Luoli.

”Young Master Xingyun, the master instructed us to attend the banquet and not cause any trouble. If you act rashly at the Jun Family banquet, the master will not spare you.”

Beside him, an old man with goat whiskers spoke sternly.

He carried a faint aura of a Quasi-Saint.

To have a Quasi-Saint as a servant, the young man’s status was evidently not low.

”Haha, Uncle Fu, don’t worry. I know my limits. I’m here to find Luo Li, not to cause trouble for the Jun Family Divine Son.” The young man laughed heartily.

His name was Ye Xingyun, a top celestial of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family.

He possessed the Star King Body, which ranked within the top five hundred of the Three Thousand Physiques, able to contain the Power of the Nine Heavens and Stars within.

Ye Xingyun had once seen Jiang Luoli during a secret realm expedition.

Ever since, he couldn’t forget that lively, charming girl like an elf.

But he never had another chance to meet her afterward.

This Jun Family banquet was a good chance to strike up a conversation.

”Luo Li, you will certainly be my woman!” Ye Xingyun’s eyes sparkled with unwavering confidence.
