Chapter 819: Chapter 817: The Ancient Emperor’s Son’s Schemes—Yielding the Young Emperor’s Position
The Supreme Immortal Court once unified the Immortal Realm, naturally possessing its own heritage.
This heritage is not only the endless array of demonic geniuses but also the topmost powerhouses.
There are also various treasures, array maps, and Immortality Medicines.
The Immortal Court even possesses Immortal Artifacts that general Immortal Influences lack.
The Celestial Emperor’s Throne is a symbol of the Immortal Court’s authority.
Whoever can sit on the Celestial Emperor’s Throne is the true Lord of the Immortal Court, ruling over endless time and space, endless star domains.
Of course, the Celestial Emperor’s Throne inside the Immortal Stele Forest right now is not the true Immortal Artifact Celestial Emperor’s Throne.
It is merely the Immortal Artifact Seal of the Celestial Emperor’s Throne.
It’s similar to the concept of the Emperor’s Weapon Seal.
The real Immortal Artifact, the Celestial Emperor’s Throne, was swept into the depths of unknown space during the last collapse of the Immortal Court.
There’s a legend in the Immortal Court that when the next Lord of the Immortal Court reappears and reorganizes the Supreme Immortal Court,
the true Celestial Emperor’s Throne may once again appear in the world.
Now, with the appearance of the Celestial Emperor’s Throne Seal in the Immortal Stele Forest, it is indeed a sort of omen.
An omen of the reformation of the Immortal Court.
The Immortal Court Young Emperor is, without a doubt, the most likely candidate in this era to become the Lord of the Immortal Court.
At this moment, under the Celestial Emperor’s Throne Brand,
a man and a woman stand facing each other.
The man wears the Eight Trigrams Robe, standing upright and graceful, with a noble and handsome appearance.
He resembles a dragon colt, or a phoenix chick, exuding a high and mighty kingly demeanor.
Behind him, Eight Trigrams Runes swirl, and one can vaguely see the ancient and transcendent figure of a divine entity appear.
It is the Fu Xi Sacred Body Phenomenon, Fu Xi’s Inference of the Eight Trigrams.
This person is the Inheritor of the Fu Xi Immortal Lineage, the Ancient Emperor’s Son.
He stands there as if standing at the center of heaven and earth, with an aura of supreme might.
Opposite him,
is a stunningly beautiful woman in a snow-white glaze long skirt.
Her facial features are exquisite and peerless, unmatched in beauty, as if crafted by the exquisite hands of heaven, the most perfect creation.
Her figure is tall and slender, perfectly optimized.
The hem of the skirt is cut at the base of the leg, revealing a pair of smooth, ivory-like long legs, much longer than those of the average woman.
Her entire body is enveloped in the radiance of the Immortal Dao, with various anomalies, star trails, and Dao Runes manifesting.
She carries an aura of noble and cold elegance,
like a peerless Female Immortal Queen.
This individual is naturally the Inheritor of the Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty, Princess Ling Yuan.
Both Ling Yuan and the Ancient Emperor’s Son have far stronger auras than before.
It is evident that they have obtained unimaginable opportunities and inheritances within the Immortal Stele Forest.
In the distance, there are many other figures watching.
"As expected, the final struggle for the Young Emperor is to be decided between Sister Ling Yuan and the Ancient Emperor’s Son."
Among the crowd, a charming girl in a Hundred Flowers Brocade Skirt said.
Her face is fair and radiant, with gleaming eyes, full of spirit.
She is the Inheritor of the Jingwei Immortal Dynasty, Wei Qianqian.
She had appeared before at the wedding banquet of the Ancient Emperor’s Son.
"I wonder which of them can become the new Immortal Court Young Emperor?"
Next to her, a refined young man with the demeanor of a scholar from the mortal world remarked.
He is the Inheritor of the Cangjie Immortal Dynasty, Cang Li, who also appeared at the wedding banquet.
"Hmph, that Ancient Emperor’s Son has been humiliated repeatedly at the hands of Jun Xiaoyao, yet he still gets a chance to compete for the position of Young Emperor in the end,"
a cold, ruthless man with a strong killing aura snorted.
He is the Inheritor of the Xingtian Immortal Dynasty, Xing Lu.
He has always had criticisms about the Ancient Emperor’s Son’s failures.
"Once the struggle for the Young Emperor is over, I suppose we’ll have to follow the Young Emperor’s lead, right?" said the Inheritor of the Shennong Immortal Court, Yao Qing.
Upon hearing this, the other Immortal Dynasty inheritors remained silent, each with their own thoughts.
The Nine Great Immortal Dynasties each have their own plans.
The most unfortunate, without a doubt, is the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty.
Because Jun Xiaoyao killed Chi Lie, the inheritor of the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty,
the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty doesn’t even have a celestial prodigy qualified to vie for the position of Young Emperor.
This leaves the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty with even more grievances, bottled up inside.
At this moment, the Ancient Emperor’s Son and Ling Yuan are the focus of everyone’s attention.
Whoever can defeat the other and sit on the Celestial Emperor’s Throne,
will be the new Young Emperor of the Immortal Court.
"Ling Yuan, in the end, it is only us standing here," the Ancient Emperor’s Son said with a slight smile.
Showing no trace of the tension of the final battle for supremacy.
"Ancient Emperor’s Son, there is no need for such pretense, let us begin. I do not fear you," Ling Yuan’s voice was cool and indifferent.
Absolute strength gave her confidence.
"Ling Yuan, you should know my feelings for you, and you should know I don’t want to fight you," the Ancient Emperor’s Son said, with a hint of tenderness in his words.
Ling Yuan’s exquisite eyebrows knitted slightly.
For some reason, hearing the Ancient Emperor’s Son’s words made her feel very uncomfortable, profoundly resistant.
Although Ling Yuan is a woman, she possesses a dominance not inferior to that of any man.
Before becoming Young Emperor, she never considered anything else.
She never entertained any romantic notions before.
However.
During their exploration of the Underworld ruins beneath the Black Abyss,
she and Jun Xiaoyao shared a hundred lifetimes in the Sea of Reincarnation.
Each lifetime was a torturous love story, full of love and hate, deep and profound.
That could be said to be the only emotion Ling Yuan ever experienced.
Although she resented Jun Xiaoyao for taking her opportunity and leaving a mark on her thigh out of humiliation, she felt a complex emotion beyond that.
After all, those hundred lifetimes, though an illusion, were indistinguishable from reality.
This caused Ling Yuan to have an even greater aversion to feelings for others.
"Ling Yuan, what’s wrong?"
The Ancient Emperor’s Son looked at the slightly distracted Ling Yuan and inquired.
He didn’t know when it started, but Ling Yuan seemed somewhat odd.
The Ancient Emperor’s Son naturally wouldn’t know that Ling Yuan and Jun Xiaoyao had shared a hundred karmic lives.
Nor would he know that Jun Xiaoyao had left a mark on the inside of Ling Yuan’s thigh.
"I don’t want to talk about emotions now, let’s go ahead and determine the final winner!"
As if to cover her own emotions, Ling Yuan made her move.
A Five-Colored Divine Stone emerged from her brow.
It was the Emperor’s Weapon of the Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty, the imprint of the Nuwa Dao Stone.
A streak of five-colored divine light shot out, the aura was frightening.
"Ling Yuan, wait..."
While speaking, the Ancient Emperor’s Son summoned a golden stele etched with entwining dragon motifs.
This was the Emperor’s Weapon of the Fu Xi Immortal Dynasty, the imprint of the Fu Xi Dragon Stele.
Boom!
The five-colored divine light clashed with the Fu Xi Dragon Stele, creating vast waves that swept out.
"I have a proposal!" the Ancient Emperor’s Son shouted.
"What do you mean?" Ling Yuan paused her attack.
"I can let you have the Young Emperor’s position," the Ancient Emperor’s Son said with a gentle smile.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, not only was Ling Yuan surprised, but the inheritances of the Immortal Dynasties in the distance were also astonished.
The Ancient Emperor’s Son was willing to hand over the Young Emperor’s position? Even if it was to the illustrious Princess Ling Yuan he admired, it was quite incomprehensible.
"Although the Ancient Emperor’s Son admired Sister Ling Yuan, he wouldn’t just hand over the title of Young Emperor, right?" Wei Qianqian said in surprise.
"What exactly is the Ancient Emperor’s Son thinking?" Cang Li was also taken aback.
All the celestial prodigies of the Immortal Court were in uproar, finding it hard to believe.
Even Ling Yuan, her phoenix eyebrows arched. "Ancient Emperor’s Son, what are you plotting? Are you trying to tease me?"
The Ancient Emperor’s Son smiled and said, "Of course not. I truly wish to give you the title of Young Emperor, but in return..."
The Ancient Emperor’s Son paused, then continued, "I hope that you can join forces with me during the ultimate trials, to slay Jun Xiaoyao and allow me to obtain the Celestial Dao Crown!"
