My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 296 Observing the Beast's Emotions

With the Spirit Gathering Divine Herb in hand, the legend of the golden pill of Vitality could be brought to life, breaking the shackles of age that had bound the successive generations of Tianji Pavilion's disciples.

Daoist Yunlong felt genuine gratitude. The benefits of concocting the golden pill of Vitality were not limited to rejuvenating himself; it also promised potential breakthroughs for Zhongren.

Even inheriting the mantle of Tianji Pavilion prematurely was not an impossibility.

With meticulous care, the Spirit Gathering Divine Herb was stowed away in a jade box imbued with spiritual energy.

Daoist Yunlong began to inquire about Gu Lan's acquisition of the Spirit Gathering Divine Herb.

Gu Lan, with no concealment, recounted her experiences in the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley in vivid detail.

Tianji Pavilion was privy to countless secrets, and Gu Lan was curious to see if Daoist Yunlong knew the origin of that immortal soul remnant.

"The Immortal Realm truly lives up to its name as an Upper Realm, to give rise to such a mystical place."

"However, the origin of that immortal soul remnant... I, too, have never heard of it," Daoist Yunlong shook his head.

Then, with a sudden recollection, he furrowed his brows in contemplation, his eyes brightening with excitement.

"But..."

"But what?"

"Please wait a moment!"

As if fearing a mistake, Daoist Yunlong hurried back into Tianji Pavilion, rummaging through a pile of jade slips.

With his divine consciousness swiftly scanning their contents, he finally found the one he sought.

"Found it, the rumored secrets of the Ancient God Clan!"

Daoist Yunlong's face lit up with joy as he handed the jade slip to Gu Lan.

The Ancient God Clan?

Gu Lan had never heard of it, not even in the Records of the Six Realms. Was this something that emerged later in the original work or in its later stages?

Taking the jade slip, Gu Lan's divine consciousness swept through it, instantly learning the origins of the Ancient God Clan.

The Ancient God Clan was a special race in the Immortal Realm, with members born with unparalleled strength.

Due to their extraordinary talents and unrestrained behavior, they were often dubbed as the clan of the dark gods by other races in the Immortal Realm!

Despite their scarce numbers, they were a formidable force renowned throughout the Immortal Realm.

Yet, despite their formidable strength, this race inexplicably perished from the Immortal Realm, leaving no trace behind.

"There's more than just innate strength to the Ancient God Clan; their lifespans are exceedingly long."

"In times of existential crisis, their bodies would merge into a small world, forming a unique array formation."

"Absorbing the vitality of the surrounding world, they sustain their remnants for thousands of years, seeking a glimmer of revival."

"The rumors of the Ancient God Clan bear some resemblance to the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley you described."

"However, only members of the Ancient God Clan and their bloodline successors can freely enter the array formation formed by the bodies of the Ancient God Clan."

Riding on a divine beast phoenix, such an existence could probably take lives with just a snap of its fingers! No, it would take the lives of demons!

Wherever the true phoenix passed, whether it was low-level demons or formerly arrogant big demons, all turned pale, not daring to even breathe heavily.

They were afraid that any slight movement might attract the attention of the divine beast phoenix, and they could inadvertently become its meal.

Gu Xiaoqi had no intention of bothering them. With her current strength, she had no interest in small fry.

That was why she wanted to go to Demon Emperor City to have fun. There should be many things she hadn't seen waiting for her there!

Gu Xiaoqi licked her lips covertly, emitting a startling phoenix cry. The true phoenix instantly accelerated, disappearing into the sky.

"Woo woo!"

"Great Lord Phoenix, spare us!"

"Don't eat me, my meat is tough and tasteless."

Hearing the phoenix cry, the little demons in the Demon Clan territory instantly felt a deep fear from the depths of their blood, trembling and begging for mercy with their eyes closed.

After a long time, they realized that the true phoenix had gone far away, and they breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

"It turns out the divine beast phoenix wasn't coming for us. That's a relief!"

"But... huh!?"

"Isn't that direction towards Demon Emperor City!?"

"Oh god, could this Great Lord Phoenix be heading for the Emperor?"

The little demons suddenly had a foreboding feeling. With worried expressions, they looked towards the westernmost part, where the sky above Demon Emperor City was shrouded in darkness.

...

After a while, Gu Xiaoqi brought Gu Lan to a mountain range in the Demon Realm.

She landed on a peak, releasing the aura of the divine beast phoenix without any restraint. The divine fire spread through the air like cracks, frolicking wantonly!

The days of practicing in the capital city of Jing Nation had bored her to death. Now that she was out, she had to have a good time.

Sensing the phoenix's aura, the birds and beasts around the mountain range either froze in fear or fled in panic.

Boom boom boom!!

The earth trembled. At the same time, earth-shattering roars were coming from deep within the mountains.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

Powerful beasts emerged from the depths of the mountains, roaring thunderously. Initially adopting a hostile stance, they immediately softened their voices upon seeing the figure on the phoenix's back, clothed in ethereal blue. They began to greet Gu Xiaoqi warmly and gently!

"Long time no see, you've all grown up."

"It seems that your food is quite good in the Demon Realm!"

Gu Lan observed the emotions of the beasts warmly.
