My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Elder Nightfall immediately understood that it wouldn't be easy to easily recruit Chen Feng as his final disciple.

Such a child of destiny, unless one lacked discernment, wouldn't simply be handed over. After all, why would anyone give away something so precious? Gu Lan was certainly discerning.

On the journey to the capital of Jing Nation, Elder Nightfall had already used the Temple of Destiny's secret technique to examine Chen Feng's destiny, finding it to be an exceptionally rare and grand destiny.

With such destiny bestowed upon him and Gu Lan as his backing, an unpredictable variable beyond even the sight of fate, not only Gu Lan's fate but even the fate of those associated with him became difficult to foresee. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Just like the Empress of Jing Nation, who once drifted in the river of fate but now couldn't glimpse her future within it.

And the Jing Nation's Little Princess, similarly obscured from the river of fate, her destiny shrouded in mist. Unclear! It's all unclear!

This was the first time since Elder Nightfall embarked on the path of mastering the destiny that he couldn't see the trajectories of so many people's fates.

If it weren't for his travels across the six realms, advancing his cultivation to the Emperor Ancestor realm, his Dao Heart would have long been unshakable.

Merely seeing so many individuals with unfathomable destinies felt like all his spiritual cultivation had been squandered, and his Dao Heart was on the verge of collapse.

Elder Nightfall pondered for a moment. "I understand your words," he said.

"Let's put aside the matter of accepting disciples for now. Have you heard of a secret technique contract concerning Destiny?"

"I believe you will be interested in this secret technique contract."

He took out an ancient jade slip and presented it to Gu Lan. Gu Lan took the jade slip and instantly understood the function of the secret technique contract with a sweep of his divine sense.

This secret technique contract could link the destinies of two individuals with different strengths. Those with strong destinies could accelerate their cultivation progress, while those with strong cultivation could gain an enhancement in destiny.

The effectiveness of enhancement depended on the disparity in cultivation and destiny, with greater disparities resulting in more pronounced improvements, and it could function across great distances.

It would remain valid for life unless one party's life was terminated. Upon seeing the contents of the secret technique, Gu Lan was immediately intrigued.

This secret technique was simply perfect for him. If he had obtained it earlier, he wouldn't have had to go through such troubles to enhance his destiny.

However, to sign this secret technique contract, it surprisingly required the establishment of a divine stone formation, and not just one or two stones, but forty-nine in total.

A single divine stone could set up an ancient teleportation array spanning the six realms. Gu Lan had only managed to collect a dozen or so divine stones from the treasury of the Blissful Immortal Palace.

The concept of forty-nine divine stones was beyond comprehension; only the top-tier forces of the Immortal Realm could produce such a quantity of divine stones. Moreover, once they were used, it would likely be quite taxing.

"This secret technique contract can only be signed with one person."

"Originally, I intended to sign it with my future successor to help him quickly advance his cultivation, so that he could inherit the legacy of the Temple of Destiny."

"But now, it seems that it might be better for Chen Feng to sign this secret technique contract with you."

"I will provide the divine stones needed to establish the formation for this secret technique contract. All I require is for you to agree to let Chen Feng accompany me to the Immortal Realm and join the Temple of Destiny, while also accepting him as your named disciple."

Elder Nightfall was very straightforward. In fact, the main purpose of presenting the secret technique contract was to win over Gu Lan, with the added benefit of finding a disciple for the Temple of Destiny.

What were a few divine stones in the face of such a double advantage? Seeing that Gu Lan seemed hesitant, Elder Nightfall raised his hand and directly took out hundreds of divine stones.

"Divine stones may be rare treasures to ordinary forces across the six realms, but for temples, especially our Temple of Destiny, they are not particularly precious."

"If a few divine stones can establish friendship between the Temple of Destiny and you, I am willing to give away all the divine stones I have."

"If you don't want to owe any favors, you can come to the Temple of Destiny in the future, and the temple will always welcome you."

"This is my sincerity, my friend."

Elder Nightfall directly pushed a hundred divine stones in front of Gu Lan. Was this what they called an Immortal Realm tycoon? Deep down, Gu Lan actually wanted to refuse.

However, in order to speed up Chen Feng's cultivation advancement and his own destiny enhancement, he reluctantly accepted...

"From now on, we are allies."

Seeing Gu Lan accept the divine stones, Elder Nightfall's face lit up with joy. He directly lifted the restraint on Chen Feng.

At the same time, he briefly explained to Chen Feng some of the things he needed to know, including signing the secret technique contract, going to the Immortal Realm to receive the inheritance of the Temple of Destiny, and... becoming Gu Lan's named disciple!

Upon learning all of this, especially the last point, Chen Feng was overjoyed.

"Chen Feng, I pay my respects to Master!" Without hesitation, he immediately went to perform the ceremony of bowing before Gu Lan. However, at the moment he was about to bow, a powerful force held him back.

"No need for such a grand gesture for now," said Gu Lan.

"Take your time to consider whether you want to sign the secret technique contract with me and then go to the Immortal Realm to receive the inheritance of the Temple of Destiny. This decision will shape the path you will walk in the future."

"Master, I have already made up my mind. As long as I can have you as my teacher, even if it means staying in the mortal realm forever without ascending, I am willing. And being able to sign the secret technique contract with you is the greatest opportunity of my life!"

Upon hearing Gu Lan's words, Chen Feng didn't hesitate for a moment, decisively choosing to accept the inheritance of the Temple of Destiny.

All of this was predicated on his desire to become Gu Lan's named disciple. To him, all opportunities paled in comparison to being accepted as Gu Lan's disciple, which had been the source of all his opportunities in the past half year.

It was his most cherished dream and the greatest blessing he could imagine. Now that it was about to come true, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Now that you have made up your mind, let's begin," Elder Nightfall said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, he began to deploy the secret technique contract.

Forty-nine divine stones were arranged in the air, unleashing astonishing energy. The energy converged to form a special formation, enveloping Gu Lan and Chen Feng together.

In an instant, Chen Feng felt a special energy surging within him. He was amazed to find that his cultivation speed was more than a hundred times faster than usual.

This terrifying rate of cultivation made him feel like he could break through to the later stages of the King Stage in just ten days.

Given a month, it wouldn't be impossible for him to break through to the Imperial Stage. Indeed, meeting Master was his greatest opportunity!

On the other side, a faint golden light flickered in Gu Lan's eyes. At this moment, his destiny had reached the peak of gold. He was only one step away from reaching the red destiny.

"Your strength is truly extraordinary, young friend. Although it is not difficult to perform this secret technique contract, it would be difficult for even me to complete the contract while maintaining such ease within the formation," remarked Elder Nightfall, impressed.

"Your understanding and proficiency in formations are enough to rank you among the top one hundred in the six realms."

Beside him, Elder Nightfall sighed. He hadn't expected Gu Lan to complete the signing of the secret technique contract so quickly.

At the same time, he was amazed by Gu Lan's own destiny. The moment the secret technique contract was completed, he faintly sensed that Gu Lan's destiny was not much inferior to Chen Feng's!

With such talent and destiny, it was no wonder he was an unpredictable factor outside the fate...
