Jiang Ye calmly gazed at Shen Luowan, his eyes subtly falling upon her face, as if carefully observing something.
Her expression was as still as water, appearing a little reserved on the surface, as if a hint of nervousness was hidden within her heart.
But Jiang Ye keenly noticed that within this nervousness, there was no true panic.
Jiang Ye did not speak, merely looking at her indifferently.
“Young Master Jiang, what do you think...”
Suddenly, Shen Luowan spoke softly, her tone gentle yet carrying a hint of seriousness.
She looked at him, her voice low, with a light, tentative quality.
“Am I suitable to be the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty?”
As her words fell, the carriage fell silent for a moment.
Shen Luowan’s expression didn't change much; she still maintained that faint smile, but her eyes appeared exceptionally bright, as if awaiting an answer.
She looked relaxed, but in reality, a hint of seriousness was hidden in her eyes.
There was even a hint of... subtle expectation.
She was also contemplating Jiang Ye's stance on the future attitude of the Divine Firmament Immortal Dynasty.
Jiang Ye leaned back against the soft pillow, one hand gently raising a teacup, his fingers lightly tapping the rim, not answering immediately.
He looked at her, his eyes calm, a smile on his lips, exuding a sense of ease and casualness.
After a moment, he spoke very casually: “Of course! When you ask this question, it already proves that you will be a qualified Empress.”
A simple sentence, yet it swept through Shen Luowan's heart like a spring breeze.
Her eyes moved slightly, and a hint of a smile seemed to emerge at the corners of her eyes.
It wasn't a deep smile, but it carried a hint of sincerity.
Jiang Ye slowly put down the teacup, his tone neither heavy nor light, yet revealing a confident composure: “The Immortal Dynasty is so vast; it's impossible for anyone to secure this position by merely being propped up. You are a clever person, and you have ambition...”
“Many people will do anything to contend for a position. They will stop at nothing, engage in secret dealings, and even trade the Foundation of their forces for the title of a 'King'.”
“But such a King is not a leader; he is merely a power-hungry opportunist.”
“A true King must bear responsibility.”
Jiang Ye's voice was unhurried, yet every word resonated deeply, without much ornate embellishment, but every sentence was powerful.
Shen Luowan listened, her expression unchanged, only the look in her eyes gradually deepening a few shades.
She neither refuted nor immediately agreed, but simply gazed at him quietly, unable to tell what she was thinking.
A moment later, she gently turned her head, her gaze directed out the window.
Outside the window, clouds and mist drifted, as if heaven and earth were silent, with only the carriage gently swaying.
She gently tilted her head, looking at the floating clouds and mist outside the window, her voice softening: “Young Master Jiang can see through people's hearts with just a single sentence.”
Jiang Ye chuckled, his tone lazy: “The Princess overpraises me.”
The carriage fell silent for a moment, but it was not an awkward silence.
The atmosphere was light, like an afternoon tea party.
Their tones seemed ordinary, yet unknowingly, they had already drawn closer.
Shen Luowan took a soft breath, looked back at Jiang Ye, her expression gentle, her eyes clearer than before: “Young Master could actually go to Shen Baiyun's sleeping chambers first.”
“However...”
At this point, she covered her mouth and smiled.
“I guess, Young Master probably won't be pleased.”
Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, and after a moment of thought, said: “In that case, I don't need to waste my effort for now.”
He had taken Shen Luowan's words to heart.
According to her description, this Shen Baiyun was probably a Great Master of tea art.
A true Immortal Realm version of “Liu Ruyan”!
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, and already had some judgment in his heart.
Even if he went there himself, he might not get any valuable information.
The other party might even try to use the opportunity to manipulate him, set up a situation, control him, or even dominate him.
This would simply be a waste of his own time.
Ultimately, he would only get plot kills like “the licking dog will not die a good death”.
Thinking of this.
Jiang Ye seemed to sense the aura of the Protagonist of Destiny... The capital of the Divine Firmament Immortal Dynasty, spanning thousands of miles, vast and boundless, majestic and magnificent, with clouds and mist swirling, and divine radiance flowing.
From afar, it looked like a true immortal realm.
Within the city, immortal mountains stood tall, divine islands floated in the air, and white jade palaces stretched endlessly, one after another, pavilions and towers seeming to have been passed down from ancient times, exuding a profound and ancient aura.
Waterfalls cascaded like silver ribbons, and spiritual springs gurgled all around.
And within the entire capital, there was also a Myriad Layer Pure Spiritual Heavenly Array, covering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, purifying all the impure Qi in heaven and earth, making the Spiritual Qi in the city incomparably pure.
No matter where, one could see the refined Spiritual Qi purified by the Heavenly Array, which was greatly beneficial for Cultivators' long-term Cultivation.
Looking around, even in the most ordinary corner, the Spiritual Qi flowing in the air was several times stronger than outside, making it an existence like a blessed Immortal Cave for Cultivators' Cultivation.
Cultivators who stepped into this Immortal Dynasty capital for the first time were almost all shocked and moved by the sight before them.
“This is the true Legacy of the Divine Firmament Immortal Dynasty...”
A Cultivator couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: “That Pure Spiritual Heavenly Array can actually draw the power of the stars, continuously purifying Spiritual Qi, endlessly, it's simply incredible.”
“I even suspect that among all the myriad worlds, there may not be many forces that can compare with it.”
Just beyond this Immortal Dynasty, in the sky, a spirit boat was slowly approaching.
Clouds and mist entwined around the spirit boat, and light and mist swirled, with a group of young Cultivators standing on it, all neatly dressed, with runes flowing on their bodies, and their auras were not weak, clearly all from the same Sect.
Their faces showed excitement and anticipation as they gazed at the Immortal Dynasty capital, which resembled a divine kingdom, their eyes gleaming, as if they couldn't wait to step into that legendary prosperous land.
In front of them, a white-haired old man stood, his robes fluttering, his expression majestic; he was their Sect's leading Elder.
He spoke with a solemn tone, reminding them: “In this 'Myriad Dao Immortal Discussion Assembly', each and every one of you must go all out.”
“If anyone can enter the top thousand, it will already be an honor for the Sect.”
“If by chance you enter the top five hundred, the Sect will generously reward you, and may even consider promoting you to the ranks of Core Disciple.”
As he spoke, the Disciples' faces showed awe, and their eyes lit up with longing and fighting spirit.
But for a medium-level Sect like theirs, in the Immortal Dynasty, they could only barely be considered vassals; merely obtaining a qualification to participate was already a great honor.
“I heard that for this grand event, the Divine Firmament Immortal Dynasty is really serious.”
“Yes, Disciples from various Holy Lands, ancient clans, and imperial dynasties will all be present to discuss the Immortal Dao, Legacy, and good fortune.”
“I even heard that several Princes and Princesses of the Divine Dynasty will also appear.”
“Don't forget, this is not just a martial arts competition; there are also Dao scripture lectures and Legacy selections.”
“I heard that the top ten Prodigies will not only be able to Cultivate in the 'Pure Spiritual Heavenly Pool Immortal Cave', but may also be favored by the will of ancient Great Masters and inherit the Legacy of an Emperor!”
“And the first place...”
One person paused, his expression becoming complex: “Will be personally received by the Seventh Princess Shen Baiyun... She seems to have intentions of forming a marriage alliance.”
As his words fell, the atmosphere on the spirit boat immediately became a little more subtle.
Everyone knew what it meant to gain the appreciation of an Immortal Dynasty Princess.
That was not only a leap in status but also a potential step into the core of the Immortal Dao, truly achieving an extraordinary destiny.
“Eh? Someone from the Immortal Dynasty is coming over? And they even used the Imperial Guard?”
