From the Immortal Court's side, the Ancient Emperor Child wore a spectators expression.
Previously, on the Ultimate Ancient Road, including in the God Ruins World, he had tried every method to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.
As a result, he failed every time.
Instead, he was severely tricked by Jun Xiaoyao.
And now, with Di Haotian making his move, the Ancient Emperor Child did not believe Jun Xiaoyao could remain so composed.
As for Ling Yuan, her expression was very complex.
Di Haotian's emergence was hailed as the Young Emperor.
So what did that make her, the current Young Emperor?
Ling Yuan was very strong, and even more so, a Prodigy cultivated by the core of the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage.
However, her influence within the Immortal Court was not as great as Di Haotian's.
Moreover, she was a woman.
She lacked some of the domineering and extraordinary aura of wielding authority that Di Haotian possessed.
At this moment, with Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao confronting each other, her position was awkward, caught in the middle, which was indeed very uncomfortable.
"Jun Xiaoyao, I must say, you have exceeded this Young Emperor's expectations."
Even though Jun Xiaoyao had snatched his Opportunity, Di Haotian's expression remained indifferent.
He knew too many Opportunities; the Virtual Heaven Realm was just a small part of them.
"Di Haotian, you are not qualified to put on airs in front of this Young Master." Jun Xiaoyao replied indifferently.
Although this Di Haotian was slightly different from some of his previous opponents.
He was stronger, and a bit more special.
But Jun Xiaoyao, with an invincible Dao Heart, did not fear Di Haotian.
Furthermore, he had gained a lot this time; after returning to the Immortal Academy for closed-door cultivation, his strength would definitely surge again.
At that time, he wanted to see if Di Haotian had the ability to catch up with him.
"I'm not qualified?" Di Haotian didn't care.
Then, he suddenly struck out with a palm.
In an instant, Dragon roars shook the heavens.
Eighty-one Heavenly Dragons roared and swept forth.
Every Heavenly Dragon was like it was cast from gold and iron, tens of thousands of feet long.
A casual flick of its tail could split a star.
"That is… the Dragon Clan's ultimate technique!"
Some Immortal Academy Disciple exclaimed, recognizing it.
It was a powerful technique from the Dragon Clan long ago, but it had since been lost.
Unexpectedly, it reappeared in Di Haotian's hands.
However, considering that Di Haotian was not from this era, it was understandable that he could use such a technique.
Jun Xiaoyao also casually shook his hand, and Chaos Energy permeated the air.
The Chaos Great Handprint pressed down, colliding with the eighty-one Heavenly Dragons.
Chaos Energy and Dragon Qi erupted, causing astonishing ripples.
Jun Xiaoyao was also slightly surprised; this Di Haotian indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.
Earlier in the Virtual Heaven Realm, he had used the Great Brahma Sound of Buddhism.
Now, he was using a technique of the Dragon Clan.
It felt as if Di Haotian had mastered all ten thousand Dao techniques.
The Chaos Great Handprint was like the hand of a Heavenly God, seizing the Heavenly Dragons.
The sheer power of that collision made many Immortal Academy Disciple present tremble with fear.
Were these truly individuals of the same age as them?
"Alright, both of you, please stop."
Elder Xumo couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped out to intervene.
To be honest, he was also very uncomfortable.
Because he couldn't afford to offend either of them, favoring one side would be very difficult.
Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his hand, and so did Di Haotian.
Elder Xumo said earnestly, "As you have seen, in the Virtual Heaven Realm, the Cang Clan and the Forbidden Families of the Nine Heavens have successively appeared."
"In the future, the Immortal Domain will not be peaceful."
"You are both pillars of the Immortal Domain; you should not be consumed by internal strife."
"I don't really care." Jun Xiaoyao said casually.
Di Haotian gave Jun Xiaoyao a deep look.
He felt that the true Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root should have fallen into Jun Xiaoyao's hands.
Also, Qianxue made Di Haotian very curious.
"Well, what's mine will eventually be mine." Di Haotian also let go.
He had the confidence that what he lost now would eventually return to him.
Immediately, Di Haotian turned to look at Ling Yuan.
These two, one was the current Young Emperor, and the other was the Ancient Young Emperor.
The atmosphere instantly became subtle.
Di Haotian said faintly, "Ling Yuan, as the current Young Emperor of the Immortal Court, what you should understand most is propriety."
"My followers may have acted slightly improperly, but… a fly does not sting a seamless egg."
"I hope that in the future, you will understand what boundaries and propriety mean."
These words were full of didactic meaning.
The implication was that Ling Yuan's relationship with Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat ambiguous, and it did not align with her background and stance.
Even Ling Yuan's stunningly beautiful and cold face changed slightly.
Di Haotian was indeed the Ancient Young Emperor.
But he didn't seem to have the right to criticize her in such a condescending tone, did he?
She was, after all, the current Young Emperor.
But now it was as if she was a child being lectured by an adult.
Di Haotian did not pay attention to Ling Yuan's somewhat displeased expression.
Because he knew that Ling Yuan would play an extremely important role in the future.
It concerned an important figure of the Ancient Immortal Court.
Therefore, Ling Yuan absolutely could not have any involvement with Jun Xiaoyao.
Otherwise, it would also affect his plans.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward.
"Your people were killed by me; if you want to target someone, you should target me."
"Is infighting a tradition of the Immortal Court?"
Jun Xiaoyao's words made many people present show surprise.
They looked at Jun Xiaoyao, then at Ling Yuan.
This was… protecting his wife?
Before, their relationship was only ambiguous.
But at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao stepping forward and speaking up showed full intention of protection.
The Jun Family Divine Child protecting the Immortal Court Young Emperor made it hard not to let one's imagination run wild.
Even Ling Yuan hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to be so direct in speaking up for her.
This filled Ling Yuan's heart with an indescribable mix of complexity and joy.
The joy was in Jun Xiaoyao's protection of her.
The complexity was that Jun Xiaoyao's action would undoubtedly deepen the conflict between her and Di Haotian.
Little did she know, this was Jun Xiaoyao's true purpose.
However, he didn't want to incite conflict between Ling Yuan and Di Haotian.
Instead, he wanted to incite conflict between the Wa Emperor Immortal Lineage and the Fuxi Immortal Lineage.
Currently, these two great Immortal Lineages are the most prestigious Immortal Lineages in the Immortal Court.
If these two great Immortal Lineages were to split, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Immortal Court.
"This Jun Xiaoyao, as expected…"
Di Haotian also had a strange look in his eyes.
He realized that Jun Xiaoyao was not only a Prodigy in talent and strength.
Even his schemes and calculations were so profound.
It was clear he wanted to provoke a conflict between him and Ling Yuan.
Although they themselves didn't have much of a relationship.
"This is our Immortal Court's own business, so outsiders need not interfere."
"Jun Xiaoyao, this Young Emperor remembers you. I look forward to meeting you formally."
As Di Haotian's voice fell, his figure transformed into a shower of golden light.
"This… this is a Dharma Body?"
When they saw this scene, all the Immortal Academy Disciple present were utterly astonished, exclaiming in surprise.
Just now, Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao had a brief exchange, and the might of it was something that eighty percent of the Prodigy present couldn't withstand.
As a result, this was merely a Dharma Body!
Di Haotian's true body had not yet emerged from seclusion.
Many Immortal Academy Disciple fell silent, their Dao Heart shaken.
Just based on Di Haotian's Dragon Clan technique from earlier, there weren't many people present who could block it.
They couldn't even compare to Di Haotian's Dharma Body.
Of course, some people were disdainful, those who sided with Jun Xiaoyao.
"Using a Dharma Body to show off, do they really think everyone is like the Divine Child? Back then, the Divine Child's single Dharma Body was enough to contend with the Hegemon Body."
A Prodigy mentioned such an old matter.
Among the crowd, Long Yao'er's face was dark, like the bottom of a pot.
Was this bringing up old wounds, constantly exposing her shortcomings?
This was her dark history, an unbearable past, a nightmarish existence.
As for Jun Xiaoyao, his expression remained calm from beginning to end.
He had known this long ago.
Otherwise, in the Virtual Heaven Realm, he wouldn't have said that Di Haotian wasn't yet qualified to fight him.
"Di Haotian, I'm also looking forward to meeting you formally."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
It was rare to encounter a character who could pique his interest even a little.
