My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Once, the Xiantian World was glorious. At that time, the Snow Clan was the greatest power in the Xiantian World, protecting all the sects and cultivators within it. Thanks to the Snow Clan's strength and the abundant resources in the Endless Sea of the Xiantian World, it was among the top three realms in the Immortal Realm's nine heavens.

However, since the Snow Clan's destruction, it has been nearly impossible to find any texts or records related to the Snow Clan in the Xiantian World. In an instant, the Xiantian World had become the lowest-ranked realm among the nine heavens of the Immortal Realm.

Had the World of Middle Sky not lost its Nine Heavens Earth Essence and suffered from resource scarcity, it might have surpassed the Xiantian World in strength.

At this moment, Gu Lan's Divine Ship had traveled for three hours and stopped in the far north of the Xiantian World. Feng Ruoxue gracefully emerged from the Divine Ship, landing on an icy rock and gazing at the towering ice mountains ahead.

"This is it!"

"This place is called Freezing Glacier. The highest peak there was once the Snow Clan's sacred site, the Divine Palace of Ice and Snow."

"Follow my steps. Although the Snow Clan ruins have been abandoned for many years, the formations and restrictions here have been running for ten thousand years. The cold energy contained within is beyond imagination. Even a Supreme of the Divine Realm might risk getting trapped if not careful."

Feng Ruoxue's voice was cold, but she glanced at Mu Yuyan and saw that the snowflake mark on Mu Yuyan's forehead was shimmering, isolating the surrounding chill. She felt relieved. As for whether Gu Lan could withstand the cold, she didn't have time to worry.

She summoned a gentle breeze around her and flew toward the highest peak.

Mu Yuyan was about to follow when Gu Lan gently pulled her hand. He took out a Storage Ring and retrieved several items.

"Honey, hold onto these pills."

"And these protective treasures, keep them with you."

"Even though Honey has inherited the Snow Clan's legacy, the Snow Clan ruins have been abandoned for ten thousand years and might be dangerous. With these items for protection, Darling will be more at ease."

Mu Yuyan looked at the bottles of pills and the protective treasures with a sweet feeling in her heart. She knew these were prepared by Gu Lan in advance back in the Earthly Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to produce them.

She was touched by how much her husband cared about her legacy and resolved to inherit the Snow Clan's legacy and help her husband accomplish great things during this Immortal Realm journey.

As Mu Yuyan accepted the pills and treasures, the snowflake mark on her forehead seemed to be activated by the surrounding cold, slowly absorbing the chill around her. Gu Lan, protected by his merit-golden robe, was unaffected by the cold.

The two of them followed Feng Ruoxue's lead and soon reached the summit of the icy peak. Here, the cold was even more intense, with a fierce blizzard assaulting them like blades, attacking them continuously.

Due to the enhancement of the cold, each attack here was equivalent to the power of an early-stage Saint. Ordinary Saint Stage cultivators would find it impossible to stand their ground. Even peak Saint Stage experts might not last long here, and if their protective divine abilities were breached, they would be frozen into ice sculptures by the terrifying blizzard and torn to pieces.

To explore the Snow Clan ruins, one would need at least Imperial Realm cultivation.

At the peak, there was an entrance surrounded by shattered giant ice pillars, intricately carved with patterns. It was evident that they had not always been in this state.

"The entrance to the Divine Palace of Ice and Snow used to stand with four black ice pillars, supporting the entire Divine Palace of Ice and Snow. It was one of the wonders of the Immortal Realm. I never imagined it would end up like this."

Even though this wasn't her first time seeing such a scene, Feng Ruoxue's eyes were still slightly dimmed as she looked at the broken ice pillars. She and the Snow Clan Saintess had once become friends here.

Gu Lan picked up a fragment of an ice pillar, crushed it lightly, and the cold energy within dispersed, freezing the approaching blizzard into a bizarre jade sculpture.

"This ice pillar must have been a treasure."

Gu Lan's face showed regret. Although the ice pillar fragments contained vast amounts of cold energy, utilizing them wasn't easy. The destruction of such a treasure indicated that the Snow Clan's sacred site had likely experienced a great battle. The strength of the Seven Upper Clans was indeed formidable.

"Let's continue. The entrance and interior of the Divine Palace have all been destroyed by the Seven Upper Clans."

"The formations and restrictions here won't harm us much. What we need to be cautious of is the Glacier Path deep within the Divine Palace of Ice and Snow."

"The cold in the Glacier Path is ten times that of this place. The deeper you go, the more intense the cold becomes. Only those with the purest Snow Clan bloodline can pass through."

At this point, Feng Ruoxue looked at Mu Yuyan. Without hesitation, she approached Mu Yuyan.

"Yuyan… You have inherited her legacy, but you don't have the pure Snow Clan bloodline. It will be very difficult to pass through the Glacier Path."

"The snowflake mark on your forehead can help you traverse half of the path, but the rest will depend on you."

"This robe is a Cloud Clan treasure called the Longwind. Wearing it might help you complete the remaining path."

Feng Ruoxue's voice was cold, but her care for Mu Yuyan was sincere. She revealed a magnificent robe, far superior to imperial-grade, likely a Supreme-level protective robe from the Immortal Realm. Such a treasure, even in the Immortal Realm, would be a treasured artifact of a major power. Yet she handed it to Mu Yuyan without hesitation.

"This seems inappropriate…"

Mu Yuyan wanted to refuse. Although her feelings for Feng Ruoxue were special, like sisters during their time together in the Immortal Realm, accepting such a treasure felt undeserved.

However, Feng Ruoxue did not give Mu Yuyan a chance to refuse. She chanted a spell and put the robe on Mu Yuyan.

"Just now, you used the Longwind incantation. Did you remember it?"

"If you didn't, I can recite it for you again."

Feng Ruoxue spoke in a calm tone, like an elder talking to a younger one. However, her gaze betrayed her, showing her inner turmoil. She was uncertain about what to do if Mu Yuyan had refused.

"Honey, accept it."

"This is also a gesture of goodwill from a senior."

At this moment, Gu Lan intervened to smooth things over. Although Feng Ruoxue's feelings for his wife seemed odd, her intentions were good. The Glacier Path was extremely perilous, and having an additional protective robe was certainly an advantage.

Seeing her husband also encouraging her to accept it, Mu Yuyan no longer hesitated. Her nature wasn't one to be overly polite. The influence of Feng Ruoxue and the memories of the Snow Clan Saintess made her somewhat uncertain.

"I'm ready to go in!"

She chanted the incantation, activated the robe, and approached the Glacier Path.
