Watching the interaction between Jiang Yunran and Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Chen's expression remained blank.
He had been keeping an eye on Jiang Yunran for a while now.
Although Jiang Yunran wasn't exactly an "ice queen," she was usually laconic and had a somewhat cold and aloof demeanor.
But now, in front of Jun Xiaoyao, she seemed to have become much softer and gentler.
Where was the proud and arrogant posture of the Ninth Princess, the pearl of the Immortal Dynasty?
This caused Jiang Chen's hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, to clench tightly, his veins pulsing and trembling.
He had a premonition before, as if Jun Xiaoyao would replace him and take everything away from him.
Now, that premonition seemed to be gradually becoming reality.
And this was only their first meeting.
Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Yunran were already addressing each other as brother and sister.
What would happen after this?
"It's strange to say, but for Yu Hua Xuan and the others to break through the outer defensive Formation so quickly..." Jiang Yunran's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
Jun Xiaoyao said, "The situation on the side of First Prince Jiang Haomiao is the same."
"Big Brother? It seems the Dayan Immortal Dynasty and other forces have been preparing for this targeting for a long time," Jiang Yunran said with a slight frown.
Her beauty was like jade; even when frowning, she possessed a unique and moving charm.
The corner of Jun Xiaoyao's eye caught Jiang Chen walking over from the side, a flash of something unreadable deep in his eyes.
Jiang Yunran also noticed Jun Xiaoyao's gaze.
Seeing Jiang Chen, her beautiful eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"Seventh Imperial Sister, who is this...?" Jiang Yunran asked Seventh Princess Jiang Wanyi.
Hearing this from Jiang Yunran, Jiang Chen almost lost his composure.
So, Jiang Yunran had absolutely no impression of him at all.
Although he had been mediocre before, he was still somewhat of a figure among the collateral branches of the Jiang Family.
Furthermore, he had attended many gatherings of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty's Prodigies and had seen Jiang Yunran.
But Jiang Yunran had not the slightest impression of him.
If not for Jiang Chen's ability to cultivate his temperament, he would have found it difficult to control his expression.
"This is the Disciple of the Pavilion Master of Guantian, Young Pavilion Master Jiang Chen," Seventh Princess Jiang Wanyi introduced.
"Young Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion?" Jiang Yunran's face showed confusion.
When Jiang Chen rose to prominence, she hadn't been in the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, so she didn't know the situation.
"Ninth Princess, I was previously a member of the Jiang Family's collateral branch and had met you a few times."
"However, it is understandable that the Ninth Princess does not remember me," Jiang Chen said, deliberately putting on a helpless smile and shaking his head.
"I see. My apologies," Jiang Yunran nodded slightly.
The identity of the Young Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion was certainly not low.
But now, with Jun Xiaoyao, who possessed a more mysterious strength and the dual Bloodline of the Jun Family and the Jiang Family, this Jiang Chen seemed completely unremarkable.
Although Jiang Yunran's tone didn't change significantly, her attitude compared to how she treated Jun Xiaoyao clearly felt different.
Jiang Chen harbored hatred in his heart.
This was the script that was originally meant for him to play out.
Yet, he had been replaced by Jun Xiaoyao.
It could only be said that it was fate.
"Then, what are your plans next, Brother Xiaoyao?" Jiang Yunran asked.
"Actually, the main reason I came here is because of the Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Just as they were conversing, a brilliant golden divine rainbow streaked across the distant sky, and then a figure materialized—it was the First Prince, Jiang Haomiao.
"Brother Jun, Ninth Imperial Sister..." Jiang Haomiao descended to this place.
Seeing that Jiang Yunran was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was also an outstanding figure of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, Jiang Haomiao knew that Jiang Yunran was the core being cultivated by the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty.
Perhaps in the future, she would have the potential to challenge the Young Emperor Level.
Of course, that was only a possibility.
Just then, the entire Lingyang Ancient Realm began to tremble.
Then, everyone could feel that the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to become more than ten times denser in an instant.
Various spiritual mists swirled, and rays of light rained down as if the entire Lingyang Ancient Realm had transformed into a fairyland.
"This is..." Jiang Haomiao and the others looked over suddenly.
They could vaguely see a vast expanse of mist in the deepest part of the Lingyang Ancient Realm.
Within it, a brilliant heavenly river was faintly visible, hanging straight down like a waterfall, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the Nine Heavens.
"The Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall is about to open! That is the greatest Opportunity in the Lingyang Ancient Realm, comparable to a five-star treasure land!" From all directions, Cultivators exclaimed.
Then, unable to wait, they flew into the air.
"Let's go too," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Haomiao, Jiang Yunran, and the others all nodded.
It seemed as if Jun Xiaoyao was now the backbone, with him leading the way.
Seeing this, a shadow crossed Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao's status was already seriously threatening him.
And this position originally belonged to him!
...
In the deepest part of the Lingyang Ancient Realm, mist swirled and light rained down.
A vast heavenly waterfall, like the Milky Way, flew straight down from the depths of the Void Realm.
Accompanied by dense Spiritual Qi and immortal light mists.
The swirling mist seemed to have transformed into various rare and exotic beasts, leaping through the Void Realm.
In the surrounding area, many Prodigies from all walks of life had already gathered.
Their gazes towards the Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall were all filled with a fiery intensity.
Because they could feel that the Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall contained a rich amount of immortal dao substance.
One had to know that a single wisp of immortal dao substance could refine a Spirit Pill.
And right now, how much immortal dao substance did this Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall contain?
How many Spirit Pills was it comparable to?
It was simply impossible to count; it was countless.
However, strangely, no Prodigy rushed forward first.
Because everyone knew that for such a treasure land, whoever rushed forward first would surely be attacked by everyone else.
So, the entire scene maintained an eerie silence.
And just then, a slightly fierce voice rang out from afar.
"If none of you dare, then this Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall shall belong to my Blue Demon Clan!"
Following the sound, a group of figures arrived at this place.
These humanoid creatures were covered in blue-green scales, looked fierce, and carried a towering Evil Qi.
It was none other than one of the hundred fierce tribes, the Blue Demon Clan!
The Blue Demon Clan Prodigy, Lan Que, who had appeared and provoked others at the talent gathering, was also among them.
However, he was not standing at the forefront now.
Standing at the forefront was a man wearing dark blue battle armor.
His physique was robust, and even his face was covered with blue-green scales, shimmering with a metallic luster.
Blue mist permeated his body, carrying a soul-capturing fluctuation.
His entire aura was incredibly fierce.
"It's the Blue Demon Heavenly King!"
Seeing this figure, many Prodigies and Cultivators in the surroundings revealed a deep sense of wariness, or even faint fear.
The Blue Demon Heavenly King was the unparalleled Prodigy of the Blue Demon Clan.
It was rumored that he was an unparalleled Prodigy recognized by the Blue Demon Tree within the Blue Demon Clan.
He was quite famous throughout Eastern Vastness, and his strength among Quasi-Emperors could rank among the very best.
With the appearance of the Blue Demon Clan and the Blue Demon Heavenly King, many people present fell silent.
This clan was not to be trifled with; there was a reason they were called a fierce clan.
If one were to offend them, one might not even know how they died.
Sensing the many fearful and wary gazes around him, the Blue Demon Heavenly King wore a sneer on his face.
He was about to lead the Blue Demon Clan group to approach the Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall.
And just then, suddenly, purple light and mist permeated from afar, and a steady, cold voice rang out lightly.
"Blue Demon Heavenly King, this Xuanyuan Heavenly Waterfall is not something your clan can monopolize alone."
"Who is it?"
Many people turned their gazes.
Those who dared to challenge the Blue Demon Clan were clearly no ordinary existence.
