My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

In the Immortal Realm, there stood Tianqi City, a bustling metropolis where trade thrived the most.

Tianqi City sprawled grandly, adorned with towering buildings on the ground and pavilions suspended in the air. Among these structures, some were caves while others served as marketplaces.

The largest among them was the Star Picking Pavilion, occupying the grandest territory in the Immortal Realm under its jurisdiction.

Throughout Tianqi City, apart from wandering cultivators, almost all fell under the governance of the Star Picking Pavilion.

"The latest flying swords from the Star Picking Pavilion are imbued with profound spirituality and unparalleled speed. Immortal Kings buy without regrets, and Immortal Emperors commend with admiration!"

"Rare secret techniques unearthed from the demise of the Blissful Immortal Palace, attracting the attention of cultivation couples!"

"Do not let regret linger; practicing this secret technique ensures your body remains inviolate."

"Crafted by the Star Picking Pavilion, guaranteed excellence! The latest creation from the enchanting immortal maiden, the Rainbow Flowing Immortal Skirt, ensures even the Iceberg immortal maiden will take it home."

"Just ten top-grade spirit stones each, clearing out inventory!"

"The immortal wine that intoxicates even Immortal Kings and moves Immortal Emperors to tears!"

In Tianqi City, cultivators of various kinds bustled about, with the majority being wandering cultivators peddling their wares on street stalls.

Here, one merely needed to pay a top-grade spirit stone to acquire a stall permit. With this permit, they could set up their stalls in designated areas.

Setting up stalls in Tianqi City had proven lucrative for many cultivators, propelling them to the pinnacle of their lives and even facilitating marriages with celestial maidens.

Nowadays, the practice of setting up stalls in Tianqi City has become a new trend among cultivators in the Immortal Realm.

"Darling, these cultivators from the Immortal Realm seem more open-minded than those in the Mortal Realm."

"Even in the mortal realm, ordinary cultivators are usually too reserved to shout about their goods like this."

"Some of these stall-owners in the Immortal Realm even possess Saint Stage cultivation and still engage in trade openly. Their determination to uphold the Dao is truly commendable."

As Mu Yuyan passed by the territory of the stall-owning cultivators, she marveled inwardly and couldn't resist sharing her thoughts with Gu Lan via telepathy.

This scene was a first for Gu Lan as well. However, he wasn't overly surprised; this commercial model, compared to the marketing bombardment of the Information Age, was merely in its infancy stage.

Both of them displayed cultivation at the initial stage of the Saint Stage, placing them in the middle tier of power within the entire Immortal Realm, so no one dared to cause trouble for them.

Even if someone was initially attracted by Mu Yuyan's extraordinary beauty, upon seeing Gu Lan's identity as a Confucian cultivator, they would restrain themselves and refrain from any mischief.

Confucian cultivators were still highly respected within the territory of the Star Picking Pavilion in Tianqi City.

Without encountering any disturbances along the way, Gu Lan escorted Mu Yuyan to the most luxurious restaurant in Tianqi City.

This restaurant, empowered by formations, floated in mid-air. Within it, there were private rooms themed after the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each simulating its unique seasonal environment—be it peach blossom groves, golden maple valleys, or snowy landscapes.

The seasonal private rooms were immensely popular, with even Immortal Kings needing to queue for entry. Finding the idea of queuing for a meal amusing, Mu Yuyan pulled Gu Lan along to join the line.

Gu Lan originally intended to present the VIP card from the Star Picking Pavilion, allowing them to skip the queue. However, seeing how delighted his beloved wife was, he went along with her.

"After so many years, it's finally a relief that the Blissful Immortal Palace has been annihilated by a senior expert. It's truly a cause for celebration!"

"That den of iniquity should have been eradicated long ago!"

"My senior brother died at the hands of the monsters from the Blissful Immortal Palace. If not for the thorough annihilation by that senior expert, I'd personally slay every one of those monsters from the Blissful Immortal Palace I come across."

"I heard that on that day, the senior expert merely unleashed one sword strike, wiping out the entire miniature world of the Blissful Immortal Palace. It's truly awe-inspiring! We cultivators should aspire to such feats!"

"To slay demons and devils with a single stroke, to cleave mountains and rivers with one sword—indeed, I yearn for such prowess."

"I heard that the senior expert is also a Confucian cultivator. I wonder which faction he hails from. I'd love to have someone as noble and upright as him in our sect!"

While waiting in line, Mu Yuyan overheard various accounts of the Blissful Immortal Palace's demise.

Despite having heard many versions before, each retelling still filled her with a sense of pride.

The deeds accomplished by her husband received praise from many, leaving her slightly proud.

Looking at her beloved husband, Mu Yuyan's admiration was plain to see.

"To attain the level of cultivation achieved by that senior expert, I wonder how many years of hard work it would take."

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous; one cannot afford to be reckless in pursuit. We must not aim too high."

"I've heard that Star Picking Pavilion will be hosting an auction, held once every three years. There should be many resources for enhancing cultivation available. Fellow cultivators, let us not miss this opportunity."

"Speaking of this auction by Star Picking Pavilion, I suddenly feel wide awake!"

"I've got a piece of gossip to share that'll entertain everyone."

"I heard that Star Picking Pavilion has acquired the Heart of the World, born from the destruction of the Blissful Immortal Palace's miniature world. The Heart of the World will be the highlight of this auction."

"The Heart of the World, hmm!"

"Such a rare treasure of the heavens and earth is beyond our reach as wandering cultivators. However, the major sects and aristocratic families will surely vie for it desperately."

"The Heart of the World is the most essential resource for creating miniature worlds and can also aid in enhancing the boundaries of existing ones. Those major powers will not let it slip away."

"Can someone tell me what the Heart of the World looks like? I've never seen such a thing before."

As the conversation drifted towards the upcoming auction, inquiries about the appearance of the Heart of the World arose, prompting explanations from various individuals.

The Heart of the World serves as the core of miniature worlds, containing the power of spatial laws that even Emperor Realm powerhouses cannot destroy.

The appearance of the Heart of the World varies; it could be a stone, a sapling, or a lotus flower. Different forms of the Heart of the World can lead to the creation of distinct miniature worlds.

The Heart of the World?

Listening to the descriptions of the others, Gu Lan recalled something. On the day when he cleaved open the miniature world of the Blissful Immortal Palace, the Divine Sky Ring not only absorbed the spatial energy but also absorbed a pink stone.

As a result, the internal space of the Divine Sky Ring expanded, surpassing even the miniature world of the Blissful Immortal Palace, and filled with abundant spiritual energy.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Xiaoqi, upon entering the internal space of the Divine Sky Ring to cultivate, was on the verge of a breakthrough and was reluctant to leave.

Hearing about the function of the Heart of the World, Gu Lan couldn't help but think that the pink stone absorbed might be the Heart of the World of the Blissful Immortal Palace's miniature world.

Where did Star Picking Pavilion obtain another Heart of the World?

Could it be a publicity stunt to enhance the prestige of the auction, attracting more cultivators to participate?

Gu Lan smiled and shook his head; such tactics were not unheard of, but he didn't reveal his thoughts.

"The Heart of the World is beyond our reach as wandering cultivators."

"I've heard that Star Picking Pavilion will introduce a new format for this auction, which might benefit us wandering cultivators."

"What new format?" Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"At the auction, Star Picking Pavilion plans to auction off three entry disciple slots!"

"What?! Entry disciple slots? Can those be auctioned off as well?"
