In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, within Huangzhou, one of the three thousand Daoist states, lay the ancestral home of the Jun family, an ancient aristocratic family.
The Jun family was an immensely glorious power in the Immortal Realm, with a lineage stretching back countless epochs, their ancestors having produced supreme Great Emperors.
During this period, the entire Huangzhou, and even the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, was trembling.
Illusory figures of dragons and phoenixes circled the Void God Island where the Jun family resided, emitting cries of dragons and phoenixes.
It was rumored that this was because a descendant of a legendary figure in the Jun family, after a ten-year gestation, was finally about to be born…
Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace on the Jun family's Void God Island.
Numerous Jun family elders were breathing rapidly at this moment, gazing at the infant in swaddling clothes.
Since birth, the infant had not cried once, only a look of bewilderment in his large eyes.
But what concerned the elders was that this infant was enveloped in a golden radiance, resembling a young true dragon.
"This is... the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body?" one elder said, taking a deep breath.
"That's right, it's undoubtedly the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body. Why must the heavens treat our Jun family this way!" another elder lamented sorrowfully.
The appearance of a Desolate Ancient Saintly Body in the clan brought them no joy; instead, they beat their chests and stamped their feet, deeply disappointed.
The reason was simple. In the Desolate Ancient Era, the Saintly Body was indeed exceptionally powerful, ranking among the top five of the three thousand physiques, capable of contending with supreme physiques like the Eternal Immortal Body, the Chaotic Divine Body, and the Heaven's Tyrant Body.
A Great Accomplishment Saintly Body could even challenge the ancient Great Emperors.
However, in recent ancient times, the laws of heaven and earth had drastically changed, and the environment was no longer suitable for the cultivation of the Desolate Ancient Saintly Body.
Ten Daoist shackles had even descended from the heavens, restraining the growth of the Saintly Body.
And at this moment, the infant, Jun Xiaoyao, wore a look of utter confusion.
"I've transmigrated, and I've even got a useless Desolate Ancient Saintly Body?"
In his previous life, Jun Xiaoyao was an orphan adopted by a blind fortune-teller.
The blind man had said that although he would be poor and lonely in this life, in his next life, he would definitely be favored by the heavens and reach the pinnacle of life.
At that time, Jun Xiaoyao was quite skeptical. As a result, an accident took his life, and when he opened his eyes again, he had become an infant.
"It seems that in this life, I was indeed born at the finish line," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
From the words of those elders, Jun Xiaoyao could tell that the Jun family he belonged to was an ancient aristocratic family, extremely glorious.
It could be said that while others were born at the starting line, Jun Xiaoyao was directly born at the finish line.
"It's just... being born into such a heaven-defying family, why is my physique a waste? Could it be another 'trash-to-treasure' beginning?" Jun Xiaoyao grumbled internally.
Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sign-in System!"
"Ding, sign-in location refreshed: Birthplace, Heavenly Emperor Palace!"
"Ding, this sign-in has triggered a newbie lucky critical hit. You can obtain a five-star or above rare reward. Do you wish to sign in?"
"So, there really is a system?"
Jun Xiaoyao was not overly surprised.
"Sign in!" Jun Xiaoyao silently recited in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host. Sign-in successful. Obtained an eight-star rare reward: one Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body!"
Boom!
The moment the system's voice sounded, Jun Xiaoyao felt an incomparable power erupt from within his body like a volcano.
On the surface of his body, ten semi-illusory golden shackles appeared – precisely those ten restraints!
"What's happening?"
The elders were alarmed, their gazes all turning towards Jun Xiaoyao.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the elders.
Crack!
The first golden chain shattered!
Boom!
An incredibly terrifying surge of vital energy and blood gushed out.
Crack, the second golden chain shattered again!
The entire Heavenly Emperor Palace trembled, brilliant light erupting!
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth…
Finally, all ten chains shattered in unison!
Boom!
Above the nine heavens, the winds and clouds changed color, and startling thunder surged!
Numerous illusory figures of saints emerged from the firmament, densely packed, numbering over ten thousand, all bowing in worship towards the Jun family's God Island!
This vision alarmed the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm!
"Heavens, what's going on? Illusory figures of saints are actually manifesting in the sky!"
"The direction they are worshipping is the Jun family in Huangzhou!"
"It must be that Qilin son of the Jun family, who was gestated for ten years, has been born! What kind of physique does he possess to actually trigger the vision of ten thousand saints worshipping?"
In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, across the three thousand Daoist states, major figures from numerous ancient powers and immortal dynasties exclaimed in amazement!
Such a vision was rarely seen in ancient times.
Even the birth of ancient Great Emperors was merely so.
Many people were curious: what kind of monstrous physique did the Jun family's Qilin son possess?
And at this moment, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, the group of elders, who had witnessed the vicissitudes of life, were also dumbfounded and frozen in place.
One of them, an old man in a golden robe with white hair and beard, even had tears in his old eyes.
"Haha, this is my grandson! My grandson has the bearing of a Great Emperor!"
The old man's name was Jun Zhantian. He was a high-ranking and influential elder in the Jun family, yet at this moment, he was dancing and gesticulating like an old child, holding Jun Xiaoyao, overjoyed.
Jun Xiaoyao felt a bead of sweat upon hearing this somewhat familiar phrase.
He felt like an old general on a stage, with flags stuck all over his back.
Truly worthy of being his biological grandfather.
"Excellent! A Desolate Ancient Saintly Body that breaks its shackles at birth is truly unheard of. Even searching through a million years of historical records, one wouldn't find such a case!" an elder praised.
"With this child, our Jun family can contend for the imperial throne in this era!"
"Hehe, that Ancient Imperial Clan, the Ancestral Dragon Nest, produced a Long Aotian possessing Imperial Dragon Blood and dared to provoke our Jun family, saying our younger generation has no one. Truly laughable!" another elder sneered.
Although their Jun family reigned supreme in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, basking in utmost glory, they were not without enemies.
The Ancestral Dragon Nest, the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, and other such Ancient Imperial Clans were powers antagonistic to the Jun family.
There were also hidden dangers from places like the Life Forbidden Zones and the Eternal Burial Grounds.
However, the elders believed that all these hidden dangers would be resolved with Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.
Because what their Jun family had obtained was a Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body that had broken its shackles and restraints!
Rumble…
Within Jun Xiaoyao's body, golden blood flowed through his veins.
After breaking the shackles of the Saintly Body, his aura also climbed steadily.
Tendon Refining!
Bone Forging!
Blood Exchange!
Orifice Opening!
Spirit Gathering!
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Jun Zhantian and the other elders.
Jun Xiaoyao's cultivation directly broke through the five major realms of the physical body.
One must know that even some heaven's chosen prodigies would need to spend at least five years to reach the great accomplishment of the physical body, and that was with the nourishment of numerous sacred medicines.
But Jun Xiaoyao had only been born for a quarter of an hour, yet he had consecutively broken through the five physical body barriers. If word got out, it would make a batch of heaven's chosen prodigies doubt their lives.
"A Desolate Ancient Saintly Body that has broken its shackles is truly a f*cking monster!" Even this group of world-wise elders couldn't help but utter coarse words.
But what was even more astonishing was yet to come.
Around Jun Xiaoyao's body, it seemed as if ten thousand illusory figures of saints were rising and falling, chanting and worshipping him!
"Could this be the Saintly Body vision, Ten Thousand Saints Worshipping?"
Jun Zhantian and the other elders felt their minds go numb from the shock.
Generally speaking, various Saintly Bodies and Divine Bodies each possessed their own unique visions.
"It is rumored that the Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saintly Body possesses a full six types of visions. When all are awakened, the six visions form the Six Paths of Reincarnation, capable of pushing through all enemies in the world!" An elder's eyes held a hint of fervor.
Jun Zhantian was smiling so wide his mouth couldn't close. He could already see the magnificent scene of his grandson becoming emperor in the future, with all races coming to pay homage.
Let alone this group of elders, even Jun Xiaoyao himself was sighing with emotion.
His talent was invincible, his background was invincible, and he even came with a sign-in system. How were the other prodigies of this era supposed to live?
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was thinking whether he should be a bit more low-key in the future.
The system's voice once again sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed!"
