My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

As the iridescent holy light drifted through the air, the four individuals couldn't help but marvel at its brilliance.

Guan Yan chuckled lightly, her gossamer robes swaying as she spoke indifferently, "It seems that we have opened the Heavenly Gate... It's unlikely for anyone in the mortal realm to possess such radiance."

"The conquests of mortal nations are merely ants relocating," Guan Yan continued, her chin lifted proudly as she spoke. Though she smiled, her eyes held a disdainful glint.

As envoys of the immortal realm, they held themselves above mere mortals. Before the multitude of ants, she had every right to be proud!

"Perhaps so," the envoy from the underworld nodded, speaking with a vague, ethereal tone, neither distinctly male nor female. "The opening of the Four Realms' Heavenly Gates has significant repercussions, causing various phenomena to occur."

"We are indeed weary from our duties. If only our realms had prodigies like those in the Immortal Realm, breaking free from the constraints of our domains, we wouldn't have to laboriously visit places like the mortal realm," sighed the envoy from the realm of demons, his hands clasped behind his back.

Upon hearing his words, the other three displayed envy on their faces. Breaking free from such constraints was easier said than done.

"The Immortal Realm no longer accepts cultivators from the mortal realm once they have their prodigies breakthrough," the envoy from the demon realm spoke with a grumble.

"It's a boon for us Four Realms! We can plunder more cultivators for our use, haha!"

The other three envoys sneered at the envoy from the demon realm's words. The Immortal Realm didn't deign to visit the mortal realm, not due to restrictions but out of disdain. In blunt terms, the Four Realms were merely scavenging unwanted scraps.

Their intellect was questionable!

However, the other three envoys remained silent. The demon realm was known for its single-mindedness. Provocation today would only lead to conflict...

The four of them spoke without regard for those below.

Li Xiong, Lin Lu, and the others naturally heard everything.

Upon learning that they hailed from the realms of immortals, demons, and the underworld, both Li Xiong and Lin Lu's expressions subtly changed. Li Xiong had heard faint rumors of the Six Realms from Lord Gu Lan, while Lin Lu had some insights of her own...

However, they both knew that these individuals possessed formidable strength! Just from their aura, they could effortlessly destroy this place!

Li Xiong and Lin Lu exchanged a glance, seeing apprehension and caution in each other's eyes!

At this moment, they realized they absolutely couldn't provoke the four envoys.

"Take him back to see His Majesty!" Li Xiong spoke in a low voice. "Emperor Yu has sent troops to guard, and the rest of the forces have evacuated. We must report this to His Majesty and Jingyang King!"

"Yes, we mustn't delay," Lin Lu nodded, reaching out to support the heavily injured Emperor Yu.

However, at that moment!

Emperor Yu's eyes suddenly flew open.

With all his strength, he used the last remaining essence of his blood to ignite his power, creating a burst of true energy that propelled him several yards away. He looked up and screamed desperately!

"Immortal, save me!"

"I, Emperor Yu of the Great Yu, am willing to learn immortal techniques and serve at your side!"

"Please, save me!!"

His voice rumbled like distant thunder, drawing the attention of the four envoys who had been chatting leisurely just moments before.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yu felt a surge of determination. He shouted once more.

"Immortal, if I can survive, I will offer all the treasures of the Great Yu to you!"

"I will be your servant!"

Emperor Yu's throat was hoarse from shouting.

He knew this was his last chance!

His shout startled everyone present.

Lin Lu had previously wondered if Emperor Yu might feign death to catch them off guard when she went to apprehend him, so she had been prepared with her true energy circulating.

However, she hadn't expected him to resort to such despicable means... and he was supposed to be an emperor?!

He had also heard the words of the four envoys earlier.

It was evident that Guan Yan was the most powerful among them. With the protection of such a formidable figure, traversing the mortal realm would be as easy as walking sideways!

Lin Lu frowned, fearing that Emperor Yu's words might provoke the four envoys in the sky, leading them to angrily unleash destructive attacks. He quickly gathered his true energy and dove toward Emperor Yu's location!

Emperor Yu's sudden burst caught Lin Lu off guard. However, Emperor Yu's effort to unleash his power, given his severe injuries, lacked both duration and intensity.

As Lin Lu concentrated his true energy and charged forward, Emperor Yu was immediately enveloped within it. Exhausted and weakened, he was powerless against Lin Lu's assault. Despair flickered in Emperor Yu's eyes.

He looked up at Guan Yan, who stood before the Heavenly Gate in the sky, his gaze filled with pleading and longing. It was akin to a drowning man grasping at the last straw of salvation!

While Emperor Yu cried out for help, Guan Yan remained motionless, her gaze on Emperor Yu akin to watching a monkey's antics.

Emperor Yu closed his eyes, masking his bitterness. Just as Lin Lu's true energy was about to encircle him from behind...

Swish!

A red light appeared, landing directly in front of Emperor Yu on the ground.

Boom!

An explosion echoed, and Lin Lu, who had been directing his true energy towards Emperor Yu, was pushed back by the immense recoil.

He struggled to steady himself, taking several steps back before finally halting. Li Xiong approached and infused true energy into Lin Lu's body, stabilizing his erratic qi and blood.

Both of them looked ahead simultaneously.

At that moment, a thin veil appeared in front of Emperor Yu. It seemed fragile, yet it exuded powerful energy, securely shielding Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu, who had narrowly escaped death, looked up at the sky in disbelief, his eyes filled with excitement and joy. He had thought he had no chance of survival, but Guan Yan had actually intervened at the last moment!

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving my life! Thank you, Immortal!" Emperor Yu knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing. He was incredibly weak at the moment, but his spirit was extraordinarily uplifted.

With the help of an immortal, his life had been saved! If he could earn the favor of an immortal, he would surely regain his strength in time.

When that happened, he would repay all the harm he had suffered today a hundredfold!

Emperor Yu made a silent vow to himself.

Guan Yan extended her hand, and the descending veil wrapped around Emperor Yu, lifting him into the air.

"Well done. Despite your broken body, you have attracted the fortune of a nation... If you become my crucible, it will undoubtedly advance my cultivation further," Guan Yan's voice rang out, her eyes scanning Emperor Yu with a seductive gaze.

Facing imminent danger from the Jing Nation, Emperor Yu was unwilling to accept such defeat.

He had slain his only son and massacred the entire court and a significant portion of the city's population, gathering the remaining fortune of the nation unto himself, and ventured out of the city to fight the enemy!

Although he ultimately failed, the root of the nation's fortune remained with him. As long as Emperor Yu lived, the power of the nation's fortune after the blood sacrifice would not dissipate.

The fortune of a nation greatly benefited any level of cultivation! If the fortune harbored within Emperor Yu's body were to be absorbed, perhaps it would enable her to break through the Emperor's Spirit Realm, a barrier she had been stuck at for thousands of years... This was quite an enticing prospect!

Emperor Yu stared wide-eyed at the alluring Guan Yan. He hadn't expected Guan Yan to ask him to become her crucible.

This... was even more demeaning than being a servant! It was sacrificing oneself to nourish a host, becoming a soulless object! It was an honor to be apprenticed to an immortal, but becoming Guan Yan's crucible was a disgrace!

Emperor Yu's expression darkened.

However, Guan Yan remained indifferent, showing no signs of impatience.

"I agree to your terms! From now on, you will be my... master!" Emperor Yu finally nodded through gritted teeth. He didn't want to be sent back, where he would have no chance against Lin Lu and Li Xiong.

It would be even more unbearable to be taken to the Jing Nation to kowtow to that despicable woman, Mu Yuyan, than to be killed!@@novelbin@@

But becoming a crucible could avoid all of this! Now, with no other options, Emperor Yu could only resolve to give it a try!
