My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"As for the principles of combining artifacts and formations, they’ve only just started to grasp them. If you want to know more... just sign the contract scrolls." Gu Lan finished speaking and casually turned away.

Niu Laosan held a stack of contract scrolls, his eyes filled with confusion. Glancing at the content of one scroll, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"To study in the Earthly Realm for a hundred years, without receiving spirit stones, without covering food and lodging, without compensation for the consumption of Divine Stones, only providing a refining room and a formation research base... Violators will be fined one thousand Divine Stones!"

"Senior, this... seems too strict!"

After reading through the entire contract, Niu Laosan’s scalp tingled. Even the most ordinary Demon Clan members in the Demon Realm would shake their heads upon seeing these conditions. Once this contract was signed, there was no room for violation; breaking it would incur severe penalties. Moreover, violators would suffer from inner demon backlash, leading to a tragic fate.

This was clearly a hundred-year indenture contract — who would sign such a thing?

Moreover, the Earthly Realm had such low spiritual energy density, and the cost in the Lower Realm was high. Who could endure staying in the Lower Realm for a hundred years? Even though Demon Clan members had long lifespans, and this was the Earthly Realm where the seniors were located.

After seriously considering it, Niu Laosan didn’t believe he could stay for over a hundred years, let alone those alchemists and formation masters who were usually arrogant.

"I hope someone will sign the contract."

"If no one signs it, and the senior asks me to follow to the Lower Realm, I won’t be able to refuse. It’s just pitiful for the thousands of girls in the Bull Demon Clan, their hearts will be broken."

With the contract scrolls in hand, Niu Laosan came to the presence of several Demon Clan masters who sought an audience with Gu Lan. He repeated Gu Lan’s words. As soon as he finished speaking, a master alchemist from the Bull Demon Clan rushed forward and snatched a contract scroll.

Then, without delay, he signed the contract.

Immediately after, he had the audacity to look at Niu Laosan and say, "For such an important matter, why didn’t you mention it earlier? If you had, I wouldn’t have been so anxious."

"Niu Laosan, you little rascal, do you think becoming the junior chieftain is such a big deal?"

"Do you believe I’ll take off my shoes and give you a beating like when you were a child?" Read exclusive content at novelbuddy

Saying so, he took off the iron-plated shoes forged from mysterious iron from his feet, pretending to be ready to strike.

Niu Laosan was dumbfounded.

Before he could escape, the other Demon Clan masters rushed forward, snatching away the contract scrolls from Niu Laosan one by one.

Each of them signed the contract immediately, then left happily with their contract scrolls.

Leaving Niu Laosan disheveled in the wind.

"Do they really dare to sign this contract?"

Looking at the last contract scroll in his hand, Niu Laosan looked at its contents again, confirming it was an utterly ruthless hegemonic contract.

He couldn’t understand why those Demon Clan masters would sign it.

"Huh!"

"There’s still a contract scroll left, I’m lucky!"

At this moment, another master alchemist from the Dwarf Demon Clan came to Niu Laosan and took the last contract.

Niu Laosan recognized him; he had used the double-bladed axe made by this person before, and it was very handy to use. Apart from being a bit muddle-headed after use, it didn’t have any major issues for Niu Laosan.

This wasn’t a big deal for Niu Laosan, as he wasn’t particularly clever in the first place.

"Master, the conditions of this contract are so poor, it’s no different from a hundred-year indenture contract. Why do you still want to sign it?"

"What do you know! How can this be the same as an indenture contract!?"

"This is a hundred-year opportunity for learning. With the endorsement of the Lord of Heaven Emperor, it’s the key for us Demon Realm alchemists to regain our former glory!"

"Clearly, you haven’t been keeping up with the news. Do you know that besides bringing Demon Realm alchemists and formation masters to the Lower Realm, the Lord of Heaven Emperor also plans to bring people from the Immortal Realm to the Lower Realm, and there are only a hundred spots available, first come, first served!"

"Such an opportunity that can’t be missed, and you dare to complain?"

"Wasn’t your weapon forged by me? Remember to inform me first next time there’s a contract scroll available. I have a friend who also wants to study and improve in the Lower Realm."

Just as Niu Laosan finished speaking, he was scolded by the master alchemist from the Dwarf Demon Clan. After scolding him, the master left him with a task without caring whether Niu Laosan agreed or not.

At this moment, Niu Laosan finally understood the weight of the few repair formations casually drawn by Gu Lan in the hearts of the Demon Clan masters.

He could only sigh in his heart, "They’re fighting so hard for this... I can only say that these seniors are even more impressive than us in the Bull Demon Clan!"

...

"Senior, take care!"

"Senior, remember to visit Moyun City when you have time!"

Niu Laosan stood at the city gate, waving his hand vigorously to bid farewell.

Outside Moyun City, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan departed on a virtual celestial boat.

This trip to Moyun City was quite fruitful. In addition to successfully comprehending the Origin of Perception and entering the peak of the Divine Realm, the biggest gain was recruiting dozens of Demon Clan masters.

Mainly from the Bull Demon Clan and the Dwarf Demon Clan, followed by the intelligent Demon Clan who loved the path of formations, and even an Enchanting Demon with considerable formation skills also signed the contract.

Although she felt something was odd, Gu Lan was still very happy.

These Demon Clan members were all highly skilled; with proper guidance, they could all contribute significantly to the development of the Earthly Realm.

"Husband, I feel like I’m about to break through... just one step away."

Mu Yuyan wiped her damp black hair and lounged on the celestial boat with Gu Lan, dressed quite lazily and casually. However, every move and gesture exuded a noble aura mixed with that of a saintess and an empress.

Not noticing Mu Yuyan’s gaze, Gu Lan just nodded slightly and casually said, "Hmm, indeed worthy of my wife, your progress is truly rapid."

"Well... husband, do you know what to do?"

Seeing that he didn’t understand, and didn’t even turn his head, Mu Yuyan pouted slightly, feeling a bit angry.

"Huh?"

Only then did Gu Lan react. These days, apart from staying in the Spirit Mountain in the Feng Yang Immortal Domain and staying in the Bull Demon Clan, he had neglected her. Just as he was momentarily stunned, he slowly said, "My wife, this... is in the heavens..."

"..."

Before Gu Lan could finish his sentence, Mu Yuyan’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment!

Hastily glancing around to see if there were any passing celestial birds or boats, regardless of consequences, she grabbed Gu Lan’s hand and dragged him straight into the bedroom.

...

Zhongzhou, Demon God Prison.

"Finally entered the third level."

A refined and gentle middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the third level of the Demon God Prison, looking at the crazy demons everywhere and listening to their squeals, he frowned slightly.

"These demons, they’ve gone even crazier."

"Demon Realm demons themselves are only slightly stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts. It’s impossible for them to go mad to such an extent."

"What exactly did the Initial Demon do to cause such a change in the demons here... Why did these demonic emperors who fell into evil back then have such a large number, while there were no such changes in the Immortal Realm?"

The middle-aged man muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of sharpness.

He was the Chiyang Saint Sovereign who had rushed from the Lava Mountain Range to the Demon God Prison.

This body was crafted by him using a secret method. Although it wasn’t the most suitable body, it allowed him to restore his strength to the Saint Stage. Relying on his own experience, combined with the memories in the Initial Demon’s Demonic Soul, his strength was far more than just Saint Stage.

Although the demons on the first two levels of the Demon God Prison were strange, he easily crushed them and swept through to the third level.

According to the memories in the Initial Demon’s Demonic Soul, the third level of the Demon God Prison contained his tribe.

But why did these demons turn into their current ghostly appearance? Chiyang Saint Sovereign couldn’t find the reason even in the memories of the Demonic Soul.

Demon God Prison had a total of eighteen levels, each imprisoning a heinous evil demon emperor.

These evil emperors were almost all sealed here shortly after the ancient extraterrestrial entities were sealed. Despite their strength being somewhat reduced after being sealed for many years, they were still not to be underestimated.

Each one had cultivation similar to the current emperors.

Chiyang Saint Sovereign dared to come to Demon God Prison not because he was rash, but because he possessed the memories of the Initial Demon, which allowed him to avoid many risks in Demon God Prison...
