Jun Xiaoyao was well aware of many tricks.
That Imperial Son Futu had not emerged earlier, nor later, but chose to emerge precisely at this time.
Jun Xiaoyao did not really believe that Imperial Son Futu had absolutely no connection to Grandmaster Motian.
There must be some Karma involved in this.
Daoist Maiden Su Qian, as if remembering something, suddenly said: "That's right, Yun Xiao, the Li Clan will be hosting a Prodigy Banquet soon."
"Would you like to go together?"
Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyelids slightly.
"The Li Clan Prodigy Banquet?"
"Yes, this Li Clan Prodigy Banquet is likely intended to build momentum for their clan's Prodigy, Li Chengtian, as he emerges from seclusion," said Daoist Maiden Su Qian.
"Never heard of him." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
Daoist Maiden Su Qian was slightly stunned.
But thinking about how Jun Xiaoyao had always been over in the Boundary Sea, it was normal that he didn't know.
"That Li Chengtian is an extremely renowned figure in the Origin Universe, having been sealed for more than one lifetime."
"It is rumored that he carries the Mandate of Heaven, has a Qilin pattern on his forehead, and bears an ancient heavenly map; he is destined to be one of the leaders of the Li Clan in the future."
"The reason he came out of seclusion might also be because of the potential appearance of the origin gold ranking in the future," said Daoist Maiden Su Qian.
"origin gold ranking?"
Jun Xiaoyao heard another new term.
"The origin gold ranking appears every so often, but it mostly opens during great eras where the energy is chaotic and many dragons contend for supremacy."
"For the many prodigies of the Origin Universe, it is of the utmost importance," said Daoist Maiden Su Qian.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
It seemed the days ahead would not be boring.
Daoist Maiden Su Qian glanced at Jun Xiaoyao again, thinking to herself.
Jun Xiaoyao was a Chaos Body. Now that a Chaos Body had appeared in the world, would he be able to suppress all the heroes and reach the top of the ranking?
"Yun Xiao, will you go to the Prodigy Banquet together with me then?" Daoist Maiden Su Qian asked.
"Sure," said Jun Xiaoyao.
He had no particular thoughts about going to the Li Clan Prodigy Banquet; he only had one goal.
Because Jun Xiaoyao could almost be certain that Saint Li of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion must be a member of the Li Clan, an ancient imperial clan.
In that case, Li Xianyao might be at the Li Clan. He naturally had to go there.
"That would be wonderful." Daoist Maiden Su Qian smiled. She admitted that she did have selfish motives.
After all, if other prodigies in the Hunxu Star Realm saw her walking with the Imperial Son of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, they would more or less have to show some restraint.
This was what was known as borrowing the fox's power to intimidate the tiger, or in other words, using someone else's influence to boost one's own standing.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally saw through Daoist Maiden Su Qian's little scheme, but he didn't care.
Relationships between people were inherently about mutual utilization.
In the following period, Jun Xiaoyao stayed temporarily at the Other Shore Dao Palace and received the best hospitality.
He also often discussed the Dao with Daoist Maiden Su Qian, which surprised her, making her silently sigh that he was indeed worthy of being a Chaos Body.
Sometimes, talent was truly disheartening to others.
Subsequently, the Li Clan sent out invitations far and wide, inviting prodigies from all factions in the Hunxu Star Realm to attend.
Daoist Maiden Su Qian also set off with Jun Xiaoyao.
The Li Clan also occupied an extremely vast Star Domain in the Hunxu Star Realm.
The venue for the Prodigy Banquet was in the Star Domain, in an ancestral city on the Li Clan's ancestral star, Li Tian City.
As an ancient imperial clan, the Li Clan's Foundation was naturally extraordinary.
Li Tian City was incredibly vast and magnificent, with towering pagodas, continuous palaces, clouds and mists, and shimmering divine light.
There was a massive stream of people coming and going, all arriving to attend the banquet.
Li Clan soldiers were also patrolling the city, maintaining order.
At this moment, deep within Li Tian City, there was an ancient tower that stood a thousand zhang high. From the very top of the tower, one could overlook the entire Li Tian City.
On the top floor of the tower, there were many figures, all of whom were elite prodigies of the Li Clan. This included Li Xinghe and Li Peiyu.
However, the most eye-catching were a man and a woman.
The woman was dressed in white, her face covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, clear as blue water, with long, dark eyelashes.
Her figure was tall and slender, her skin was fair and delicate, as if it could be broken by a touch, glowing with a fine luster.
She looked like a clear crescent moon halo, a jade tree piled with snow; she was breathtakingly beautiful.
This was still while she was concealing her appearance; otherwise, it would likely be even more eye-catching.
Many Li Clan Prodigy Cultivators present couldn't help but steal glances at her.
This woman was none other than Li Xianyao, who had returned to the Li Clan.
The other man was very heroic, with a head of black hair draped over his back. His features were rugged, his eyes as brilliant as golden lanterns, with runes flowing within them.
Most notably, there was a Qilin pattern on his forehead. This was a technique bestowed upon him by heaven, containing immense secret power, and was extremely powerful.
This man was none other than Li Chengtian, the Prodigy of the Li Clan who carried the Mandate of Heaven.
Li Chengtian looked at Li Xianyao and said with a faint smile: "I didn't expect to receive such good news as soon as I broke my seal."
"With the addition of Lady Li Xianyao, a Supreme Dao Body, to our Li Clan's younger generation, it's like a tiger gaining wings."
"Compared to the prodigies of factions like the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Sansheng Hall, we are not far behind."
Hearing this, Li Xianyao's expression remained calm. Strictly speaking, she felt no sense of belonging to the Li Clan.
After all, she already knew what Saint Li had done to her biological mother. Li Xianyao's feelings for Saint Li were very complicated, let alone for the Li Clan.
However, before Li Xianyao could say anything, a man in a blue shirt nearby spoke with a tone of slight flattery.
"That goes without saying; we are all family. I hope Brother Chengtian will look after us in the future."
This man was none other than Li Heng, who had been rendered infertile by Jun Xiaoyao.
"Easily done," said Li Chengtian indifferently.
Although Li Chengtian looked down on Li Heng from the bottom of his heart, he was, after all, Saint Li's offspring.
Saint Li was also a big figure in the Li Clan, holding a high and powerful position. A long time ago, he was arranged to join the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion and eventually became a Pavilion Master.
"Lady Xianyao, one of our Li Clan's ancestors was also a Supreme Dao Body."
"The Li Clan's current prosperity is inseparable from the Foundation laid by that ancestor."
"I believe that if we join forces, we will definitely be able to take the Li Clan to the next level in the future."
Li Chengtian didn't care about Li Heng. But Li Xianyao was perfect in every aspect—appearance, strength, and talent. There wasn't a single flaw to be found.
Even someone like Li Chengtian, who had always focused on cultivation and stayed away from women, couldn't help but feel a little moved. This woman was just too charming.
Hearing this, Li Xianyao's eyes, clear as blue water, remained without the slightest ripple.
"Brother, it is perhaps too early to talk about this now."
Seeing this, Li Chengtian understood that Li Xianyao had just returned to the clan and clearly wasn't yet accustomed to the situation within the clan.
He smiled and said: "Haha, indeed, these things can be discussed later."
"But for now, I hear that the God-Sealing Stele is about to descend into the world."
"In the past, I have left my name on different God-Sealing Steles a few times, which counts as having some achievements."
"This time, I will not only leave my name, but I will also rank among the very top."
