Chapter 973 973 Followers of the Chaos Body
From before, Ling Yuan, though also extremely noble and cold.
But not like now, where even her tone carries not a trace of emotion.
That feeling, as if some part of the emotions deep within her heart, had completely died.
And this change began from the moment Jun Xiaoyao fell.
After Jun Xiaoyao's death, Ling Yuan, who was already cold and aloof, became even more unapproachable.
Before, Ling Yuan would occasionally crack a joke or two with Ru Ying.
But now, Ling Yuan had been cultivating in seclusion the whole time, living a life almost completely cut off from the world.
"My lady, years have already passed, and you still haven't been able to move on?" Ru Ying sighed inwardly.
Jun Xiaoyao had already become the past.
In the immortal domain now, few people still mentioned him.
Ru Ying felt that Ling Yuan should also step out of the shadows and look forward.
Actually, by all reasoning, Jun Xiaoyao's fall.
Should have benefited Ling Yuan the most.
As the young empress of the Immortal Court, she and the divine son of the Jun family had always been in a position of rivalry.
But now, Ling Yuan, who should have been rejoicing, was instead the most heartbroken of all, which was truly something to marvel at.
Inside the cave dwelling.
Immortal light enveloped everything, mist and haze stretching endlessly.
A woman of world-toppling beauty sat cross-legged within.
Her features were exquisitely flawless, her face like a perfect creation carved by the heavens, her starlike eyes carrying an air of cold indifference.
Her skin was as delicate as mutton-fat jade, her graceful figure suffused with immortal light.
Between her brows, noble and icily beautiful.
It was none other than Ling Yuan.
After the Shen Xu world, the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy opened.
She and a group of prodigies joined the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy together, and obtained an immortal-level fortune inheritance.
Three to four years had passed.
Ling Yuan's cultivation had also smoothly broken through to the quasi-supreme realm.
Combined with the brand of the Heavenly Emperor's throne she carried, and her status as the young empress of the Immortal Court.
The current Ling Yuan could be said to be the true leading figure among the younger generation of the Immortal Court.
As for the Ancient Emperor's son, though not lacking either, his reputation was terrible, and in terms of prestige, he was already far inferior to Ling Yuan.
But only Ling Yuan herself knew.
What she had lost.
"So much time has already passed……"
Within Ling Yuan's phoenix eyes, there seemed to be a trace of emptiness.
Her memories were often blurry.
Scenes of dancing for Jun Xiaoyao, of strolling with Jun Xiaoyao through the starry sky, would surface in her mind.
She had gradually lost the ability to tell whether she was Ling Yuan or Heavenly Maiden Yuan.
Or perhaps, both.
After all, before this, Heavenly Maiden Yuan had laid a contingency plan, burning her own physical body to let her soul return to Ling Yuan, causing the two to merge.
The her of now was both Ling Yuan and Heavenly Maiden Yuan.
It was precisely because of this that Jun Xiaoyao's death had dealt such a tremendous blow to Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan raised her jade hand, a jade slip held within it.
Inside was a message transmitted from the Wa Huang Immortal lineage.
"Foreign domain, Chaotic Body."
Ling Yuan murmured to herself, feeling somewhat listless.
Without Jun Xiaoyao, she felt that everything had lost its appeal.
……
As the summoning bell was struck.
The many disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy, like a stream of fish crossing a river, transformed into streaks of rainbow light, converging toward the plaza at the center of the immortal island.
"I heard it's Elder Fu's notice, not sure what instructions are being given."
"It should be that the Borderland training is about to begin."
As more and more academy disciples arrived, many were discussing among themselves.
"Is the Borderland training finally coming? I can't wait!"
A crisp voice carrying a domineering air rang out.
In the distance, a massive dragon silhouette emerged.
Standing within it was a woman of breathtaking beauty.
The woman wore a long snow-white dress, her pair of long legs lustrous and radiant.
Her purple hair flowed as smooth and glossy as silk.
On her strikingly beautiful face, a pair of noble purple-gold phoenix eyes gazed down upon all directions with pride.
It was unmistakably Long Yao'er, transformed and grown.
"It's Empress Long Yao!"
Upon seeing this woman, many prodigies revealed expressions of amazement.
Long Yao'er, once one of the Seven Emperors of the Rebellious Jun.
Though because of Jun Xiaoyao, the reputation of the Seven Emperors of the Rebellious Jun was not great.
But the one who bore the brunt of the blame was mainly the Ancient Emperor's son.
The remaining few emperors had few people targeting them.
Over these past few years, Long Yao'er had been living quite comfortably and contentedly.
She had truly become the empress of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and was also a heaven-favored daughter carefully cultivated by the Tyrant Body Ancestral Hall.
Without Jun Xiaoyao, Long Yao'er's sky seemed to have cleared of its dark clouds.
In the earlier contest between the Holy Body and the Tyrant Body, Jun Xiaoyao had crushed Long Yao'er with his dharma body, nearly shattering her dao heart.
Later, after awakening the Golden Ancient Dragon bloodline and emerging transformed, she had intended to take revenge, only to be crushed by Jun Xiaoyao once again.
It could be said that those were dark days.
And now, with Jun Xiaoyao fallen, the darkness had lifted.
"Jun Xiaoyao, what a pity that you have already fallen. If you were still alive, I would truly want to compete with you again, to completely erase the inner demon in my heart." Long Yao'er murmured quietly to herself.
Having obtained an immortal-level fortune, she had now also broken through to the quasi-supreme realm.
But the one regret was not having been able to defeat Jun Xiaoyao with her own hands.
This had left a trace of an inner demon in her heart.
Long Yao'er believed she would never have the chance to erase that inner demon again.
At this moment, on the other side, a handsome young man with flowing silver hair, dressed in a crane-feather cloak, came treading through the air with his hands clasped behind his back.
It was Yu Hua Wang, who had also broken through to the quasi-supreme realm.
As for Yu Yunshang, she was nowhere to be seen, not having come together with Yu Hua Wang.
Yu Hua Wang's expression was indifferent, carrying a sense of melancholy.
Even after several years, he could still faintly hear Jun Xiaoyao's words echoing in his ears.
Friendship, truly is a luxury.
Many times, Yu Hua Wang had asked himself, had he done wrong?
Perhaps he had, perhaps he hadn't.
The one thing that could be certain was that there was no remedy for regret in this world.
As time passed, more and more prodigies gathered in the plaza.
At this moment, a group of men and women arrived from the distance, their auras extraordinarily striking, drawing everyone's attention.
"Those people are… the followers of the Jun family's divine son!"
Upon seeing this group of men and women, many of the prodigies present revealed expressions of reverence.
Jun Xiaoyao, though he had already fallen for several years.
But his contributions to the immortal domain could not be erased.
Had Jun Xiaoyao not used his own body to suppress and seal the malevolent will of the divine beings, the entire Shen Xu world might have been destroyed.
Once the Shen Xu world was destroyed, the foreign domain could have swept in unimpeded.
The consequences of that were unimaginable.
Jun Xiaoyao had become a hero of the immortal domain.
And his followers naturally commanded the respect and admiration of others.
Looking around, Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, Wang Chuan, Yong Jie Tiannu, all four were present, each with a formidable aura.
There was also Princess Long Ji, who though had not formally become one of Jun Xiaoyao's followers, was still in the same camp.
She was also the successor of the Nine-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor, and could naturally join the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy as well.
In addition, there were several women, Yu Chanjuan, Yan Rumeng, and Taiyin Jade Rabbit.
They had all joined the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy.
Over these past few years, all those around Jun Xiaoyao had been diligently cultivating.
They stubbornly believed that Jun Xiaoyao had not truly fallen, and that there would surely come a day when he returned.
And just at this moment.
A cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
"Yu Chanjuan, are you still unwilling to submit under the command of Lord Chaotic Body?"
Several figures approached.
Upon seeing those figures, Yu Chanjuan and the others' gazes turned ice-cold.
"Followers of the Chaotic Body……"
