My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

In the following days, as usual, Gu Lan spent his time fishing, playing chess, and reading books.

Occasionally, he would subtly expose a flaw to let Emperor Feng Yang win half a star, much to his delight.

During this period, Gu Lan searched through the Sanxing Peak's library for any literature related to extraterrestrial entities.

However, to truly understand them, he knew he needed to encounter them firsthand.

Despite Emperor Feng Yang's proclamation of the existence of extraterrestrial entities and the issuance of the Exterminate Evil Order, there had been no news about them these days.

The absence of news concerning extraterrestrial entities could be considered good news in itself.

Turning his attention elsewhere, Gu Lan delved into the literature concerning the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.

Strangely, despite the vast collection of literature in the Sanxing Peak's library, there wasn't a single volume related to the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley. During a game of chess, Gu Lan inquired about this matter.

"Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley?"

"I have heard of this mystical place, but its location often shifts, and I have never laid eyes on it myself."

"I do recall that the Scripture Pavilion holds relevant records, Friend Gu. Please be patient; I will help you locate them once I finish counting the chess pieces."

"White wins by 177 moves. I have won half a star. Please accept my modest victory!"

After completing the count, Emperor Feng Yang emerged victorious by half a star. With a smile on his face and a stroke of his beard, he remarked, "This match shall be preserved for future contemplation... and analysis."

Emperor Feng Yang then took out a Shadow Stone and engraved the recent chess match onto it. Only then did he leisurely lead Gu Lan to the library.

"As far as I recall, the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley has been shrouded in legend for ages."

"It's normal for general ancient texts to lack records of it."

"The ancient texts stored within this Scripture Pavilion date back no more than a hundred thousand years."

"Ancient texts from over a hundred thousand years ago are typically unable to be stored in ordinary jade slips; they require special enchantments for preservation."

Emperor Feng Yang opened a hidden chamber within the library, revealing ancient texts crafted from various materials such as turtle shells, bone fragments, fur, and even meteorite shards.

Together, they searched through the chamber, and Gu Lan discovered a neglected fragmentary text tucked away in a corner of the bookshelf, which contained some scant information about the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.

This was a fragmentary piece from a hundred thousand years ago, existing for a longer period than even the Three Realms Sealing Demon Battle!

Whether it was the contents of the literature or the literature itself, they both indicated that the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley had existed prior to the Three Realms Sealing Demon Battle.

As Gu Lan contemplated the distorted characters on the fragment, his brow furrowed slightly.

"At that time, the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley harbored the Evil Spirit King, whose power was formidable. As the guardian of the tomb, the Evil Spirit King indicated the presence of the remnants of an immortal deity. In other words, are the remnants of the immortal deity older than the Three Realms Sealing Demon Battle?"

The literature did not explicitly state the connection between the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley and the Ancient God Clan, but a vague answer began to form in Gu Lan's mind.

Even if the remnants of the immortal deity were not directly related to the Ancient God Clan, they were closely intertwined.

Gu Lan requested permission from Emperor Feng Yang to take the fragmentary piece with him. Naturally, Emperor Feng Yang agreed.

Thanks to Gu Lan, the Celestial Starry Formation of the Sanxing Peak had vastly improved from its previous state.

Emperor Feng Yang was concerned about having nothing to repay Gu Lan's assistance.

Let alone a fragmentary piece, if Gu Lan wished to peruse the entire library, Emperor Feng Yang would readily agree.

Upon receiving the fragmentary piece, Gu Lan announced his intention to depart for the Immortal Realm the following day.

"I wonder which realm you and your wife plan to visit next?"

Through these days of interaction, Emperor Feng Yang had gained a slight understanding of the free-spirited nature of the powerful figures in the world, knowing that Gu Lan was unlikely to change his decision easily.

He had wanted to keep Gu Lan in the Immortal Realm, but Gu Lan was unwilling, leaving him no choice but to acquiesce.

"I originally planned to go to the Underworld..."

"Now I intend to make a detour to the Demon Realm first, and then proceed to the Underworld."

Gu Lan revealed his plan. He wanted to check on Zhe Liang's current situation in the Underworld, see if his cultivation had progressed, and if Black Abyss had diligently nurtured him.

His change of heart to visit the Demon Realm first was due to his recent encounter with a devotee of the Bright Temple.

In his memory, Gu Lan had acquired a unique flesh-rebuilding technique exclusive to the Bright Temple, which happened to be suitable for Chiyang Saint Sovereign!

Furthermore, with the appearance of extraterrestrial entities in the Immortal Realm, it was likely that the Demon Realm, with its numerous seal points for extraterrestrial entities, might have encountered similar issues.

Due to Niu Laosan's influence, Gu Lan held a favorable impression of the Demon Realm. In case there were any problems, it would be convenient to address them along the way.

After all, in the past, demonic souls had infiltrated the mortal realm, indicating a relatively easy connection between the Demon Realm and the mortal realm.

If extraterrestrial entities were to appear in the Demon Realm, it was probable that the mortal realm would soon follow suit.

"How fortuitous... Friend Gu, you plan to go to the Demon Realm, and I happen to be headed there as well!"

"Excellent, I shall accompany you. Along the way, if time permits, we can further discuss our mental states and refine our cultivation, breaking through any limitations," Emperor Feng Yang exclaimed joyfully.

He also intended to visit some old friends in the Demon Realm to discuss matters regarding extraterrestrial entities and suggested traveling together with Gu Lan.

Gu Lan agreed. With the Heaven Emperor accompanying them, they could avoid many troubles along the way.

The next day, at dawn, news of Heaven Emperor's departure had already spread throughout the Fengyang Immortal Domain.

"Have you heard? Our esteemed Heaven Emperor is heading to the Demon Realm for negotiations. The matter concerning extraterrestrial entities is becoming urgent."

"Some factions in the Immortal Realm are still hesitating, showing a lack of foresight."

"This time, Emperor Feng Yang is going to the Demon Realm alone. Let's hope nothing unexpected happens!"

"Nonsense! With Heaven Emperor's unparalleled cultivation, even the goddess of the Cloud Clan in the Immortal Realm is only slightly superior. Who in the Demon Realm can surpass Emperor Feng Yang?"

In the Fengyang Immortal Domain, cultivators gazed towards the direction of the Immortal Peak and engaged in various discussions.

Many of them were native Feng Yang cultivators and staunch supporters of Emperor Feng Yang. They wouldn't tolerate any negative remarks about him.

On the Sanxing Peak, celestial cranes soared and danced amidst the clouds, creating a magnificent scene.

Suddenly, a loud crane cry pierced through the heavens, dispersing the clouds, and revealing an immensely majestic celestial crane king.

Emperor Feng Yang stood proudly on its back, exuding an ethereal aura akin to that of a celestial crane.

However, instead of flying out of the Immortal Domain, the celestial crane king remained stationary beneath the clouds. Emperor Feng Yang turned back, smiling faintly.

"Is Heaven Emperor waiting for someone in the clouds?"

"Are there still individuals in the Immortal Realm who dare to keep Heaven Emperor waiting in the clouds?"

Below the sea of clouds, countless cultivators gazed upwards, curious about whom Emperor Feng Yang was awaiting.

At that moment, the power of the stars erupted from the Sanxing Peak, causing the sea of clouds to churn.

Excited, the celestial cranes circled around Tianpeng Peak, one of the three peaks of the Sanxing Peak.

Suddenly, a crimson flame phoenix streaked across the sea of clouds, soaring into the sky. The celestial cranes eagerly followed in its wake.

"Ah! That's an ancient divine phoenix!"

"The person Heaven Emperor is waiting for is the master of the ancient divine phoenix!?"

"Oh, I remember now... a few days ago, when Heaven Emperor battled the goddess, there was also a phoenix present. However, the master of that divine phoenix only appeared momentarily, and we didn't get a clear look!"

"Compared to the celestial crane king, the master of the ancient divine phoenix outshines it!"

"The master of the ancient divine phoenix is so young and handsome. I really like him!"
