My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Behind the peaceful years, there are always people carrying heavy burdens.

The Demon Realm is like this, the Immortal Realm is like this, and so is the Earthly Realm.

Walking this path, Gu Lan deeply feels this.

Where there are people doing evil, there are also those doing good.

Typically, those who do good have to pay a price far greater than those who do evil in order to have hope of achieving their goals.

Destruction is often easier than construction.

Guarding requires even more strength.

Facing the mysterious extraterrestrial entities and the enigmatic Bright Temple, Gu Lan feels that his peak of the Divine Realm is far from sufficient.

He must continue to strive and become stronger.

Glancing at Mu Yuyan beside him, who is still refining the residual energy of the Blood of True Demons, Gu Lan’s eyes become determined. Yet, his mind recalls an incongruous line from a classic line in a previous life he enjoyed watching:

"If it were the Empress, even if it means working a bit harder at night... it’s not impossible."

"Power of origin..."

He clenches his fist slightly, sensing the power of origin flowing within him.

Gu Lan gains a deeper understanding of the Divine Realm. Unlike the Imperial Realm, the Divine Realm is no longer limited to the cultivation of true qi and realm advancement; mastery and application of the power of origin are crucial.

Mastering the power of origin is extremely difficult. Divine Realm experts often need to spend tens of thousands of years comprehending in order to make even a slight progress in mastering a type of origin power.

Gu Lan also feels this way. Even with the foundation of the Bull Demon Clan’s power of origin, mastering another type of origin power will still require some effort.

For example, the sword origin, which he is most familiar with, would likely take considerable time and effort to fully master.

Currently, he finds it challenging to evolve his domain into the sword origin without using true qi.

"Break!"

In an instant, the void was shattered by an extremely weak force of sword origin.

"Indeed, the power of sword origin..."

"The power of origin exists not only within oneself but also between heaven and earth. To fully master it is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"Never mind, Rome wasn’t built in a day. It’s not a bad thing to be patient and spend a few more days carefully comprehending. The foundation still needs to be solid."

Without being overly attached, Gu Lan waved his hand to restore the void before him.

He thought back to how he initially had the system to rely on. Rapid cultivation had led to a bit of arrogance. This period of reflection and self-cultivation with his wife had not been detrimental to the enhancement and solidification of his combat strength.

However...

Not far away, Elder of the Highest Order of the Bull Demon Clan, Niu Biao, witnessed the scene from beginning to end, his expression somewhat stunned.

In his heart, waves were already surging!

Although Gu Lan’s breakthrough did not cause any major celestial phenomena or expose terrifying aura due to the space being sealed off, the method he just used to shatter the void was the evolution of domain through origin, recorded in ancient texts left by the Bull Demon Clan ancestors. Originally, such methods only existed in legends, and Niu Biao never expected to witness them firsthand today.

Divine Realm?

Is he a Supreme of the first level of the Divine Realm?

Or...

Niu Biao dared not think further.

Since the Ancient Sealing Demon Battle, almost all Divine Realm experts of the Immortal and Demon Realms fell in the great battle. The few surviving Divine Realm experts, like the Bull Demon Clan ancestors, mostly fell into slumber, with at most one or two appearances.

For a newly born Divine Realm expert, not to mention being on par with the Immortal Realm that once ranked among the top three realms, they were also extremely rare in all the other five realms combined.

Niu Biao had considered that Gu Lan might be a Heaven Emperor-level expert like Emperor Feng Yang, but he had never imagined that Gu Lan would be a Divine Realm expert.

Although Divine Realm and Heaven Emperor realm are only a step away, the gap between them is insurmountable for many people throughout their lives until their lifespan is exhausted.

Looking at the Bull Demon Clan ancestors in the blood pool, whose condition is even better than before, Niu Biao doesn’t think that Gu Lan’s recent breakthrough is solely due to the Blood of True Demons.

If Blood of True Demons could create a Divine Realm powerhouse, the Bull Demon Clan would have done so long ago.

While there are indeed some memories and perceptions of Divine Realm cultivation from Bull Demon Clan ancestors within the Blood of True Demons, these are merely fragments. Just by viewing memories of Divine Realm experts, one cannot break through to the Divine Realm. If that were possible, Divine Realm experts would have been widespread across the Six Realms long ago.

"Fortunately... I formed a good relationship with Lord from the beginning..."

Niu Biao wiped the sweat from the edge of his horn, feeling extremely fortunate. He looked at Niu Laosan, who was still fully refining the residual energy of the Blood of True Demons, and his gaze softened.

Truly, foolish cattle have their own luck!

Being a ferryman in the Lower Realm has always been a hard job, but this fellow managed to complete the task satisfactorily, ferrying many talents to the Demon Realm. Because of this, the Bull Demon Clan also gained many benefits.

Most importantly, he made friends with Gu Lan.

Anyway, now that the Bull Demon Clan has formed a good relationship with a Divine Realm expert, this is a huge stroke of luck.

Hmm, this kid, Niu Laosan, has shown potential since he was young!

...

Time passed quickly.

Niu Laosan completely refined the residual energy of the Blood of True Demons, and his strength had qualitatively improved.

At this moment, if he were to face Niu Er again, he could knock Niu Er down with just one axe.

"Niu Laosan, from today onwards, you will officially become the junior chieftain of the Bull Demon Clan!"

"This axe was once an Emperor-level divine weapon. After experiencing the Ancient Sealing Demon Battle, even though it is now broken, it is still a top-tier Saint Stage treasure."

"Take this Opening Mountain Axe and the three-plate axe technique that complements the Emperor’s weapon. The responsibility of guarding the Bull Demon Clan will be entrusted to you!"

Niu Biao handed over the Emperor’s weapon he had used, along with the three-plate axe technique that was paired with the Emperor’s weapon, to Niu Laosan.

This silly fellow always manages to surprise him and is now qualified to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the clan.

Niu Biao received the Opening Mountain Axe, looking excited.

Amidst his excitement, he looked towards Gu Lan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

If it weren’t for Gu Lan, he wouldn’t have been able to complete the ferrying task, let alone defeat Niu Er, let alone become the junior chieftain of the Bull Demon Clan.

After the ceremony, everyone left the underground resting place.

...

Returning to Moyun City, Gu Lan casually pointed out a few flaws in the array formation of the Moyun City Flame Devouring Pot, then provided a new method of improvement.

The Flame Devouring Pot, the core established by Moyun City, was jointly crafted by the city’s top alchemists and array masters. Among them were the Bull Demon Clan, the Short Human Clan, and other Demon Clans, all of whom were top talents.

It can be said that the Flame Devouring Pot is their masterpiece, one they are most satisfied and proud of.

Originally, upon hearing someone arrogantly claiming to have discovered flaws in the Flame Devouring Pot’s array, everyone was furious.

If it weren’t for finding out that the other party was the Lord of Heaven Emperor, they might have gone to demand an explanation.

However, when they saw the ingenious new array structure, everyone fell silent, with no one speaking up.

The array masters were even driven to madness, holding onto the array plates and refusing to eat or drink as they continued their research. Explore more adventures at novelbuddy

Furthermore, some even cried and made requests to see Gu Lan, asking him to help them understand.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to repair and perfect the array on the Flame Devouring Pot; it was just that they couldn’t comprehend the array Gu Lan provided, let alone replicate it, let alone repair it.

It’s like a bottom-ranked student who, even with the answer key in front of them, wouldn’t be able to copy it.

Seeing the top array masters and alchemists visiting one after another, Gu Lan smiled knowingly and handed over a stack of scrolls he had prepared long ago to Niu Laosan.

"Send them a message..."
