Under these circumstances, the Prodigies of the Immortal Court's Nine Great Immortal Lineages were undoubtedly highly sought after.
Whether they were the current generation's successors of the Nine Great Immortal Lineages or the awakened seeds who had been in slumber, they all received attention from various forces.
Among them, the most popular ones were naturally Di Haotian and Ling Yuan.
One was the Immortal Court's Ancient Young Emperor, and the other was the current Young Emperor; both possessed a considerable number of companion slots.
Even the Ancient Emperor Child, who had previously been on par with Ling Yuan, found his prestige dimming, no longer holding his former reputation.
However, to everyone's surprise, under these circumstances, Ling Yuan was too lazy to meet anyone who came to visit.
Within a Daoist temple palace in the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage in Huantian Immortal Domain.
Ling Yuan, in a snow-white glazed long dress, tall and exquisitely beautiful, seemed to be arguing with someone.
Ever since the appearance of the Fluorescent Star, Ling Yuan had left the Immortal Academy and had been staying at the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage's Daoist temple.
"Lan Po, do I not even have the freedom to go out anymore?"
Ling Yuan's tone at this moment lacked the cold and strong demeanor she displayed outside.
This was because sitting opposite her was Lan Po, a Quasi-Emperor Ancient Ancestor of the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage, and also the one who had guided her Cultivation since childhood.
Lan Po had silver hair, and her face was not old; her skin was as smooth as a baby's.
She looked at Ling Yuan and smiled faintly, saying, "Yuan'er, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You wouldn't be thinking of visiting that Jun Xiaoyao, would you?"
"Wh-where? I just Cultivated for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk to clear my mind."
Ling Yuan stammered.
In the outside world, she was the cold Immortal Court Emperor Daughter, the current Young Emperor.
But in front of Lan Po, who had taught her since childhood, she was like an ordinary girl.
"Hehe, Yuan'er, you're as bad at lying as ever," Lan Po shook her head, then continued.
"But... it's better to maintain your distance. After all, you are the Immortal Court's current Young Emperor."
Ling Yuan bit her lip and remained silent.
To be honest, when she heard that Jun Xiaoyao was ambushed by three Quasi-Emperors from the Three Great Assassin God Dynasties, her heart seemed to stop for a moment.
When she heard that Jun Xiaoyao had survived, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But then she heard that Jun Xiaoyao was severely injured, his Dao foundation damaged, almost half-crippled.
It was even possible that he wouldn't recover in a short time and could only recuperate in the Jun Family.
Ling Yuan then felt a strange sense of worry.
She knew that although Jun Xiaoyao appeared calm and reserved on the surface, deep down, he was an incredibly proud person.
This pride had no negative connotations; it was an innate confidence.
Such a blow, for an ordinary Prodigy, would be unbearable.
Let alone for a Prodigy like him, who was unique throughout the ages.
So Ling Yuan naturally felt worried and wanted to go see him.
"I really don't know what kind of Soul-bewitching potion that Jun Family boy gave you. You are the Immortal Court's Young Emperor!" Lan Po sighed, pressing a hand to her forehead.
Ling Yuan just remained silent.
To be honest, she was also a bit dazed.
Originally, she and Jun Xiaoyao were absolute opposites, and she was even one of the Reverse Jun Seven Emperors, constantly thinking about how to deal with him.
But after falling into a hundred-lifetime love entanglement with Jun Xiaoyao in the Black Abyss, everything seemed to change.
Later, in the God Ruins World, she and Jun Xiaoyao were even caught in the mist of the love flower.
Afterward, Tiannv Yuan sacrificed herself, loving Jun Xiaoyao to the bone, and her Soul merged with hers.
Later, Ling Yuan forcibly found an excuse for herself.
Because Tiannv Yuan's Soul had merged with hers, she developed special feelings for Jun Xiaoyao.
But now, to be honest, Ling Yuan herself found this reason ridiculous.
Tiannv Yuan might have had an influence, but it was absolutely impossible for her to change her views immediately.
Through long-term contact and interaction, Ling Yuan unknowingly fell for him.
This was perhaps something she had not expected.
Lan Po naturally didn't know about Ling Yuan's many inner thoughts; she just said,
"This time, the Forgotten Kingdom is extremely important; it even concerns the future structure of our Immortal Court."
Ling Yuan cleared her mind and looked at Lan Po.
Lan Po continued, "Actually, initially, our Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage wanted to cooperate with the Fuxi Immortal Lineage to jointly hold power."
"That's why we wanted you to marry the Ancient Emperor Child."
"But that failed, and now, Di Haotian has appeared."
"His ambition is known throughout the Immortal Court: he wants to become the Lord of the Immortal Court in this golden great era."
"And that position was originally yours, Yuan'er."
"So our Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage must also change its mindset."
"And the Forgotten Kingdom is the only opportunity."
Lan Po's words somewhat confused Ling Yuan.
"Lan Po, although there are Ancient Immortal Court Ruins within the Forgotten Kingdom, it shouldn't be enough to determine the future structure of the Immortal Court, should it?"
Lan Po looked at Ling Yuan and smiled.
But that smile gave Ling Yuan a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Yuan'er, you are the hope of our Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage, the only core Prodigy cultivated by the entire lineage."
"Don't you often wonder about the origin of your dual-Soul body?"
"Going to the Forgotten Kingdom might provide the answer."
Lan Po's words made Ling Yuan's eyes tremble.
Could it be that her dual-Soul body had other hidden implications?
After returning to her sleeping quarters, Ling Yuan remained in a dazed state.
She was contemplating.
For some reason, she felt like a delicate puppet on strings.
It was as if an invisible pair of large hands were controlling her destiny, just as she controlled Tiannv Yuan's destiny.
The more she thought, the more irritable Ling Yuan became.
Coupled with not being able to leave Huantian Immortal Domain to see Jun Xiaoyao, this made her feel even more anxious and uneasy.
Just then, a beautiful maid with a double bun hairstyle reported from outside.
It was Ru Ying, Ling Yuan's maid.
"Someone outside wishes to see Emperor Daughter."
Ling Yuan heard this, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, and said, "I won't see them."
During this time, people constantly tried to visit her.
Young Masters from Ancient Desolate Families, Holy Sons from Immortal Great Sects, successors from reclusive ancient clans, and so on.
They simply wanted to obtain a companion slot from her, to enter the Forgotten Kingdom with her.
As for why Ling Yuan was so popular, the reason was simple.
In addition to Ling Yuan having many companion slots, she was also the Immortal Court's current Young Emperor.
Traveling with her would undoubtedly increase one's sense of security.
Moreover, Ling Yuan was also a renowned beauty in the Immortal Domain.
Who wouldn't want to travel with a beauty? Especially one with power and influence.
If they could truly spark something, it would be a huge gain.
And more importantly, although it was previously rumored that Ling Yuan and Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have an unusual relationship, Jun Xiaoyao was severely injured and recuperating in the Jun Family, making it impossible for him to come.
Even if he came, the Immortal Court would not allow him to enter the Forgotten Kingdom.
Therefore, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to poach.
As the saying goes, though the famous flower has an owner, I'll loosen the soil.
As long as the hoe is wielded well, there's no corner that can't be dug up.
Thus, many Immortal Domain heroes and noble Young Masters from various forces flocked to Ling Yuan like butterflies drawn to flower fragrance.
Of course, Ling Yuan was naturally too lazy to see them and rejected them all.
Now, after hearing the news of Jun Xiaoyao's severe injury, she was inexplicably irritable and had no mood to see those noble Young Masters.
"But..."
Ru Ying hesitated for a moment, then said,
"That person said it's fine if you don't go, as long as you don't regret it."
Regret?
Ling Yuan even laughed in anger at the words.
What kind of people exist these days?
Before, there was even a noble Young Master from a major force who directly knelt outside the palace gates for seven days and nights, begging to accompany her.
"If they want to attract my attention by acting overbearing, it's rather ignorant and ridiculous."
Ling Yuan smiled coldly, but she still slowly got up.
Naturally, she wasn't attracted or curious.
She was simply in a bad mood and needed a punching bag.
That person just happened to run into her.
