Ancient Emperor Child's words silenced everyone present.
No one expected Ancient Emperor Child to make such a move at this most tense moment of contention for the Young Emperor's position.
Ling Yuan's eyes also flickered, somewhat surprised.
Ancient Emperor Child's action was somewhat beyond her expectations.
After all, the position of Immortal Court Young Emperor was one of the most noble identities in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
In the future, he might even become the Lord of the Immortal Court!
Yet, Ancient Emperor Child was willing to give it up.
At this point, Ancient Emperor Child's intention was very clear.
He could give the Young Emperor's position to Ling Yuan.
But Ling Yuan must join forces with him to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.
And in the end, he wanted to personally kill Jun Xiaoyao and receive the heavenly dao crown as a reward.
"Is Ancient Emperor Child really going to hand over the Young Emperor's position to Young Empress Ling Yuan?" In the distance, Wei Qianqian's rosy little mouth opened wide, appearing incredulous.
"I think there might be a few reasons," Cang Li said, his eyes deep and shining with wisdom.
"Firstly, Ancient Emperor Child is indeed infatuated with Ling Yuan, and this can be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards her."
"Secondly, Ancient Emperor Child truly hates Jun Xiaoyao, after all, Jun Xiaoyao's snatching of the marriage caused him to lose face and become a laughingstock."
"Thirdly, instead of fighting Ling Yuan and offending the beauty, Ancient Emperor Child might as well kill Jun Xiaoyao, obtain the heavenly dao crown, and be destined to achieve Dao, gaining no less."
It must be said that Cang Li's analysis was very reasonable.
Some Immortal Lineage Successors around him nodded slightly.
Ancient Emperor Child's admiration for Ling Yuan was well-known to everyone.
If he were to fight Ling Yuan to the death over the Young Emperor's position, it would completely cut off any hope of marrying her.
Rather than that, it was better to gracefully hand over the Young Emperor's position.
Perhaps he could even move the beauty and win her heart.
Ancient Emperor Child's calculations were indeed profound.
He might win the beauty, personally kill Jun Xiaoyao, and also receive the heavenly dao crown reward.
It was simply killing three birds with one stone!
"How about it, Ling Yuan, do you agree?" Ancient Emperor Child smiled at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan's lips curved into a slightly mocking smile.
With her intelligence, how could she not know what Ancient Emperor Child was planning?
"Kill Jun Xiaoyao?" Ling Yuan murmured to herself.
For some reason, when Jun Xiaoyao's image of white clothes stained with blood flashed through Ling Yuan's mind.
She felt a faint pang in her heart.
"Damn it, it's that hundred-lifetime karmic entanglement." Ling Yuan furrowed her Phoenix brows.
She had tried to sever this hundred-lifetime karmic entanglement before, but had not succeeded.
Ling Yuan hadn't cared at first, but now she realized that this hundred-lifetime karmic entanglement didn't seem so easy to sever.
"If Jun Xiaoyao falls, maybe this influence will be lifted," Ling Yuan mused inwardly.
"Ling Yuan, can you still not make a decision? Is my sincerity not enough?" Ancient Emperor Child said.
"Alright, this Empress agrees to you, but... don't think this Empress is afraid of you. If it really came down to it, you would find it difficult to defeat me," Ling Yuan said coldly.
Although it seemed like Ancient Emperor Child was being deferential.
But if they truly fought, Ancient Emperor Child might not be able to defeat Ling Yuan and win the Young Emperor's position.
So Ling Yuan naturally wouldn't think that Ancient Emperor Child was deferring to her.
She took a step with her snow-white long legs, landing before the heavenly emperor throne imprint.
Then, she directly sat down.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Fairy Tablet Forest space was filled with surging immortal light and dazzling brilliance.
Amidst the endless vast divine light, Ling Yuan sat high on the heavenly emperor throne imprint.
Her pair of snow-white long legs crossed, with one leg resting over the other.
This made her leg lines appear even longer and slender, perfectly flawless.
Her black hair floated, and her Phoenix eyes held authority.
Her peerlessly beautiful face contained an aura of dominance no less than a man's, like an invincible female Immortal King above and below the heavens, with unparalleled grace.
"This Empress Ling Yuan shall become the first female Young Emperor in the history of the Immortal Court!"
"Turn the universe, manipulate the heavenly secrets, Nine Great Immortal Lineages, obey my command!"
Ling Yuan's clear voice echoed throughout the entire Fairy Tablet Forest.
"Fuxi Immortal Lineage, Ancient Emperor Child, greets the Young Emperor." Ancient Emperor Child cupped his hands and smiled slightly.
"Jingwei Immortal Lineage, Wei Qianqian, greets the Young Emperor!" Wei Qianqian also rushed over.
Their Jingwei Immortal Lineage was originally inclined towards the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage.
"Cangjie Immortal Lineage, Cang Li, greets the Young Emperor!"
"Shennong Immortal Lineage, Yao Qing, greets the Young Emperor!"
"Xingtian Immortal Lineage, Xing Lu, greets the Young Emperor!"
One by one, the Immortal Lineage Successors stepped forward and bowed slightly.
No matter what their hidden thoughts were at the moment, on the surface, they all cupped their hands.
In addition, there were also over a thousand Prodigies from various Immortal Lineages who came to participate in the trial, all of them exceptional and elite.
"Greetings, Young Empress Ling Yuan!"
A thousand Immortal Lineage Prodigies cupped their hands in unison, their voices shaking the Nine Heavens!
It could be said that Ling Yuan's prestige at this moment had reached its peak!
Looking down at the Prodigies who bowed in unison, Ling Yuan's lips curved into a captivating smile.
She had done it.
She had become the first female Young Emperor in the history of the Immortal Court.
And in the future, she might even become the Lord of the Immortal Court.
"Rest assured, this Empress will definitely use the heavenly emperor throne imprint to find the true Immortal Artifact, the heavenly emperor throne."
"When the true heavenly emperor throne reappears in the Immortal Domain, it will be the day our Immortal Court once again ascends to supremacy!" Ling Yuan declared with dominance.
"Young Emperor is mighty!" Many Prodigies shouted loudly.
Ling Yuan was already the most popular among the Nine Immortal Lineage Successors.
Now that she had become the Young Emperor, it made a large majority of people quite convinced.
Of course, there were also those who stood with Ancient Emperor Child.
However, since Ancient Emperor Child had voluntarily conceded, they naturally wouldn't criticize anything.
"Young Emperor, you should know that at this stage, what we need to do most is target our enemy, the Jun Family successor, Jun Xiaoyao."
"The Jun Family's ambition never dies; they have always wanted to replace the position of our Supreme Immortal Court. If we can eliminate the Jun family successor later, it will surely serve as a warning to the Jun family," Ancient Emperor Child said.
"That's right, the Jun Family Divine Child is too arrogant; he completely disregards us Immortal Lineage Successors."
"Indeed, Chi Lie of the Chi You Immortal Lineage was also killed by the Jun Family Divine Child."
"The Jun Family Divine Child also killed our Immortal Court's Four Little Heavenly Kings."
Ancient Emperor Child's words stirred up strong emotions.
This group of Immortal Court Prodigies had long been displeased with Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, the Immortal Court was accustomed to being superior.
They were always the ones bullying others.
This was the first time someone had bullied the Immortal Court itself.
They were used to being superior and naturally didn't like anyone being more superior than them.
But then again, Jun Xiaoyao's identity as the Jun Family Divine Child was indeed no weaker than the Immortal Court Young Emperor's status.
Jun Xiaoyao even had extremely prominent identities such as Young Master of the Jiang Family and Jun Ditian Lord.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan's eyes, however, flashed with a cold light.
Was Ancient Emperor Child afraid she wouldn't keep her promise?
"Don't worry, this Empress will definitely deal with that Jun Xiaoyao," Ling Yuan said coldly.
Ancient Emperor Child revealed a confident smile and said, "Young Emperor, I do have a plan."
"This plan will absolutely ensure Jun Xiaoyao's complete demise in the Ultimate Trial!"
