Under these circumstances, the geniuses of the Xian Ting's nine great immortal heritages were undoubtedly the center of attention.
Regardless of whether they were the current heirs of the nine great immortal heritages or the awakened seeds, they all received the attention of various factions.
The most popular of them all.
Of course, they were Di Haotian and Ling Yan.
One was the young emperor of the Xian Ting, while the other was the young emperor of the present age. Both of them had quite a few followers.
Even Gu Tiezi, who'd been on par with Ling Yan before, was no longer as famous as before.
However, what was unexpected was that Ling Yan couldn't be bothered to meet anyone who came to pay her a visit.
Chaotic Heavens Immortal Domain, in a certain palace of Empress Wa's immortal heritage.
Ling Yan, who was tall and slender, was dressed in a long, snow-white dress. Her features were exquisite beyond compare, and she seemed to be arguing with someone.
Ever since Mars appeared, Ling Yan had left Immortal Academy and stayed in Empress Wa's immortal heritage's palace.
"Granny Lan, I don't even have the freedom to go out?"
Ling Yan's tone was no longer as aloof and domineering as it was outside.
Sitting across from her was a Quasi-emperor ancient ancestor of Empress Wa's immortal heritage, Granny Lan, who'd taught her cultivation since she was a child.
Granny Lan had a head of silver hair. Her face wasn't that old, and her skin was as smooth as a baby's.
She looked at Ling Yan and smiled faintly. "Yuan 'er, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't tell me you're thinking of visiting Jun Xiaoyao?"
"N-no, I've only been cultivating for a long time and want to go out for a walk."
Ling Yan stammered.
In the outside world, she was the cold and aloof princess of the Xian Ting, the young emperor of the present age.
But in front of Granny Lan, who'd taught her since she was a child.
She was like an ordinary young girl.
"Heh, Yuan 'er, you're still as bad at lying as ever," Granny Lan shook her head and continued.
"But … it's better to keep a distance. After all, you're the young emperor of the Xian Ting."
Ling Yan bit her lip and said nothing.
To be honest, when he heard that Jun Xiaoyao had been assassinated by three Quasi-emperors of the Jin Dynasty, he was shocked.
Her heart seemed to stop for a moment.
When she heard that Jun Xiaoyao had survived, she heaved a sigh of relief.
But later, he heard that Jun Xiaoyao had been seriously injured. His Taoist foundation had been damaged and he was almost crippled.
It was even possible that he wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time and could only recuperate in the Jun Family.
Ling Yan felt an inexplicable worry.
She knew that although Jun Xiaoyao looked calm and reserved on the surface, he was actually a man of few words.
But deep down, he was an incomparably proud person.
This sort of arrogance did not have a negative connotation. Instead, it was an innate confidence.
Ordinary geniuses would not be able to withstand such a blow.
Not to mention a monstrous genius like him who had never been seen before.
Therefore, Ling Yan was worried and wanted to take a look.
"I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion that kid from the Jun family gave you. You're the young emperor of the Xian Ting." Granny Lan held her forehead and sighed.
Ling Yan just remained silent.
To be honest, she was also a little absent-minded.
In the beginning, she and Jun Xiaoyao were absolute enemies. She was also one of the Seven Rebellious Emperors. She was always thinking about how to deal with him.
But in the Black Abyss, she fell in love with Jun Xiaoyao.
Everything seemed to have changed.
On the inside of her thigh, there was a mark left by Jun Xiaoyao.
In the world of the Ruins of God, she and Jun Xiaoyao fell in love.
Jun Xiaoyao was not affected, but she took off her clothes.
For the first time in her life, she was seen naked by a man.
After that, Fairy Yuan sacrificed herself and loved Jun Xiaoyao so deeply that her soul merged with his.
Later, Ling Yan forced herself to find an excuse.
It was because Fairy Maiden Yuan's soul was melded with hers that she developed special feelings for Jun Xiaoyao.
But now, to be honest, Ling Yan felt that this excuse was ridiculous.
Fairy Yuan might have had an impact, but it was absolutely impossible for her to change her mind immediately.
After a long time of contact and getting along, Ling Yan unknowingly fell.
This was perhaps something she did not expect.
Granny Lan naturally did not know about Ling Yan's inner thoughts. She just said.
"This Forgotten Kingdom is extremely important, even related to the future of the Xian Ting."
Ling Yan sobered up and looked at Granny Lan.
Granny Lan continued: "In fact, in the beginning, my Empress Wa's immortal lineage wanted to cooperate with Fuxi's immortal lineage and jointly rule."
"That's why I wanted you to marry Gu Tiezi."
"But then it failed, and now, Di Haotian has appeared again."
"His ambition is known throughout the Xian Ting. He wants to become the master of this golden age of Xian Ting."
"And that position was originally yours, Yuan 'er."
"Therefore, our Empress Wa's immortal lineage also needs to change our mindset."
"And the Forgotten Kingdom is our only chance."
Granny Lan's words puzzled Ling Yan.
"Granny Lan, although there are ancient Xian Ting ruins in the Forgotten Kingdom, it shouldn't be enough to determine the future of the Xian Ting, right?"
Granny Lan looked at Ling Yan and smiled.
But that smile made Ling Yan feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Yuan 'er, you are the hope of our Empress Wa's immortal lineage, the only core genius nurtured by the entire immortal lineage."
"Haven't you always wondered about the origin of your two souls?"
"Perhaps you can find the answer in the Forgotten Kingdom."
Granny Lan's words shook Ling Yan's eyes.
Could there be other secrets to her two souls in one body?
After returning to her chambers, Ling Yan remained in a daze.
She was thinking.
She didn't know why, but she felt like she was a delicate marionette.
There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind her, controlling her fate.
Just like how she controlled Fairy Yuan's fate.
The more she thought about it, the more irritable Ling Yan became.
In addition, she couldn't leave the Huntian Immortal Realm to see Jun Xiaoyao.
This made her feel even more restless and uneasy.
Right at this moment, a beautiful maid with two buns on her head came in to report to him.
It was Ling Yan's maid, Sakura.
"Someone outside wants to see the Empress."
Hearing this, Ling Yuan frowned slightly and said, "No."
During this time, there had been people who wanted to visit her.
Young masters of ancient clans, godson of imperishable sects, heirs of hidden ancient clans, and so on.
They wanted to be her entourage and be able to enter the Forgotten Kingdom with her.
As for why Ling Yan was so popular, the reason was simple.
Besides Ling Yan, who had many entourage spots.
She was also the young empress of the Xian Ting.
Traveling with her would undoubtedly increase one's sense of security.
Moreover, Ling Yan was a famous beauty in the Immortal Realm.
Who wouldn't want to travel with a beauty?
What's more, she was a beauty with power and influence.
If there were any sparks, it would definitely be a huge gain.
More importantly, although there were rumors that Ling Yuan and Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have an unusual relationship, Ling Yuan was not the only one.
However, Jun Xiaoyao was seriously injured and recuperating in the Jun Family. It was impossible for him to come.
Even if he came, the Xian Ting would not allow him to enter the Forgotten Kingdom.
Therefore, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to poach him.
As the saying goes, although a famous flower is taken, I will loosen the soil.
As long as the hoe was swung well, there was no corner that couldn't be dug down.
Therefore, many heroes and young masters of the Immortal Realm flocked to Ling Yan like bees and butterflies attracted by the fragrance of flowers.
Of course, Ling Yan couldn't even be bothered to meet them and rejected them all.
Now, after hearing the news that Jun Xiaoyao was seriously injured, she was inexplicably irritated. How could she be in the mood to meet those young masters?
"But …"
Sakura hesitated for a moment and then said.
"That person said that it's fine if you don't go, as long as you don't regret it."
Regret?
When Ling Yan heard this, she was so angry that she laughed.
These days, there were really all kinds of people.
Previously, there was a young master of a major power who directly knelt in front of the palace gate for seven days and seven nights, begging to go with her.
"If you want to rely on acting domineering to attract my attention, you are a bit ignorant and laughable."
Ling Yan smiled coldly, but she still slowly got up.
Naturally, it was not because she was attracted, nor was it because she was curious.
It was just that she was in a bad mood and needed a punching bag.
That person had bumped into her muzzle.
