I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 556: Too Familiar

Yunshang, with Xiaofan in tow, headed to the new capital of Yanluo Kingdom.

In the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, there are no such things as "Kingdoms" or "Dynasties." The resources of a small world are limited after all. Even if there is a supply of immortal energy that transforms the environment into a treasure land, it is still too small. Therefore, no one chooses to ascend to immortality through the path of an emperor.

To become an emperor, the most important thing is the power of "manipulating the dynasty's energy and karma." But in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, where are there so many people, and where is the soil for the birth of an emperor?

Yunshang is already quite old.

During the primordial era, Yunshang had witnessed many dynasties and imperial dynasties of the Xuantian Realm. Those kingdoms were truly colossal, backed by the Immortal Realm. The cultivation techniques practiced by the emperors of each dynasty were all immortal techniques!

Born in an era where the five realms interacted enthusiastically and used real skills to "persuade" each other to surrender their lives, Yunshang, as an unknown rogue cultivator, naturally struggled with the question of which "path" to take in the future.

She once believed that being an emperor would be prestigious and dignified.

But times have changed. Even before today, back in the late primordial era, those kingdoms that she could never reach were all destroyed, leaving no trace.

Although a long time has passed.

But Yunshang still remembered some things.

Those younger generations born within the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm never had the chance to witness firsthand what the word "prosperity" truly meant.

Even compared to the small Yanluo Kingdom, the Xiaoxuantian Realm cannot be described as "prosperous and flourishing". Gu Yun's seclusion and locking of the realm has made the Xiaoxuantian Realm more and more solidified. Now, it is even more desolate than before.

For Xiao Fan, a maid, "kingdom" was a very new concept, as was "prosperity."

Therefore, Yunshang fully understands why the Yin and Si families were willing to anger Gu Yun and leave the Little Xuantian Realm back then.

Take this opportunity.

Yunshang not only wanted to "wander freely in the mortal world" herself, but also wanted to bring Xiaofan to see the real world.

Although she was called a maid, she was actually equivalent to a daughter.

In the primordial era, she lost both her daughter and her beloved husband. The current Yun clan's bloodline actually originates from her brother. She has long since given up on the idea of ​​continuing her relationship and is now focused on pursuing the Dao.

It was only after reaching the level of a half-step Immortal Venerable and encountering a complete bottleneck that Yunshang adopted Xiaofan while traveling in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm.

Xiao Fan's talent was actually quite remarkable; at least in her opinion, there was no one more capable than her within the Yun clan. After her death, someone would inevitably need to take over the position, so why call her "Xiao Fan" now and not "Yun Fan" later?

However, such things will encounter resistance.

Yunshang wasn't in a hurry. Right now, she just wanted to breathe in the unclean air of the Xuantian Realm, which had no "celestial aura" whatsoever, and rediscover some of the feeling of her old days.

"Hmm... this place seems familiar."

Walking on the bustling streets of the new capital, the ordinary people's market was very lively and noisy, but Yunshang's eyes were filled with deep thought.

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Fan ate a candied hawthorn and looked up to ask.

She had served Yunshang since childhood and knew her intimately. Therefore, she knew Yunshang's personality: usually very reserved and rarely showing emotional fluctuations. But just now, Yunshang seemed to have a fleeting moment of emotional vulnerability. It was as if she had remembered a long-lost friend…

Yunshang smiled and said, "It's nothing. It just reminded me of a once-prosperous dynasty that I observed. For some reason, this small capital city also feels somewhat similar to it."

Xiao Fan was a little confused by what he said.

But Yunshang did not explain further. This matter was a secret, and no one except the Thirteen Immortal Venerables knew about it.

She was once quite interested in the Great Qin Dynasty under the rule of the Holy Yao Emperor, so she often used her Immortal Venerable power to cross the two realms and cast her gaze over to observe the Great Qin Dynasty.

The strange thing is...

Why did this new capital of Yanluo Kingdom give her a sense of déjà vu...? It was so similar to the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty back then, orderly and well-regulated, with an invisible majesty controlling everything.

Yunshang didn't think much of it.

Perhaps this is the general principle of governing a country, and it's not impossible that the ruler of Yanluo Kingdom has learned the way of governing from Emperor Shengyao.

The Holy Yao Emperor was a prominent figure in the Xuan Tian Realm, and even after tens of thousands of years, her legacy still influences later generations.

It's just a pity that he died like that.

"...Why don't you take your time exploring this place? It's a rare opportunity to come out."

Xiao Fan watched helplessly as her clan leader's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed repeatedly, even gritting his teeth and muttering, "It would be better if he died sooner."

Well, I guess the clan leader remembered his conflict with the Ancient Immortal Venerable Gu Yun, and he was so angry that he had to mutter to himself to make himself feel better.

"Alright, alright, just eat your candied hawthorn quietly, why are you bothering with this old woman?"

Yunshang said irritably. She had been scolded.

Xiao Fan obediently remained silent.

After browsing for another half hour, Xiao Fan stopped at a jewelry shop. She planned to pick out some "souvenirs" to take back, to prove that her trip was worthwhile, since she didn't know when she would be able to come to Xuan Tian Realm again.

"Grandpa, how much is this crescent moon pendant?"

Xiao Fan took a liking to a string of crescent moon pendants displayed in the jewelry shop. The craftsmanship seemed ordinary to her, but such a common item was now quite attractive to her.

I suddenly became interested and wanted it.

Yunshang watched from the side, knowing that it was just a matter of novelty, so she let her buy it.

These mundane things lose their novelty after being seen a few times.

"Excuse me, young lady, this item has already been taken and the payment is being processed." Xiao Fan looked up and saw the old man who was minding the shop leading a girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old to the front, and then picking up the crescent pendant.

"Well, never mind then."

Xiao Fan saw that someone had already reserved the item, so she gave up the idea.

As a maid who was taken in, she was naturally averse to competing with others, which was also what Yunshang was worried about. Her temperament was too gentle and not suitable for being the head of a clan. However, temperament issues could be changed if she wanted to...

But Xiao Fan's gaze lingered on the girl for a while before she frowned, because there was a very strange power flowing around the girl, a power she had never seen before!

Even Yunshang turned her gaze over, looking somewhat stunned and shocked.

This young girl possesses a very powerful karmic force! And only those with such power can walk the path of an emperor!

But what truly stunned and shocked Yunshang was that this karmic force of destiny was all too familiar!

"Gentlemen, is there something you need?"

Qin Yiyao put the jewelry she was going to give to her master into her spatial ring. Feeling two gazes fixed on her, she frowned.

What's going on with these two women?
