My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

To the Demon Clan, the Imperial elixir dew was nothing short of a miracle, a divine gift from the heavens. Similarly, it was an immense opportunity for the Human Clan. Countless streams of "meteors" streaked across the sky, descending upon the human realm.

"It's a meteor shower!"

"Quick, make a wish! This year, I'm definitely getting into Lanyan Royal School!"

In Jing Nation, where the occurrence of the Imperial elixir dew was most intense, people of Jing Nation flocked to their windows to gaze upon the miraculous sight, with children even making wishes upon the "meteors." These streaks of light gently flowed down, merging into their bodies. Even for ordinary people, the infusion of such pure spiritual energy could strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan. Those with slightly better potential saw an immediate refinement in their constitutions, elevating their innate talents.

Cultivators, on the other hand, experienced an even greater boon. Many ascended to higher realms overnight, some even breaking through multiple levels in one go. The ease of advancing felt akin to drinking water, a novel experience for most cultivators that filled them with elation. They all knew who was responsible for bringing this fortune, and thus, they turned respectfully toward Jing Nation's Capital City, bowing in gratitude.

"Long live Prince Jingyang!"

"Long live the Empress!"

Each sincere expression of gratitude converged into streams of pure Merit energy, forming a golden river that flowed toward Gu Lan's location.

"Darling, it worked!"

Mu Yuyan, standing atop Tianqiong Mountain with her ice phoenix, was brimming with excitement. Her cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Main God Realm, and this extraordinary fortune had allowed her to break through once more. Behind her, Gu Simu was in deep meditation, surrounded by dragon and phoenix shadows that endlessly absorbed the falling Imperial elixir dew. Her immense potential meant that she would benefit the most from this miraculous event.

"Daddy... Spirit Fruit!"

Gu Simu, in a meditative state, was dreaming of munching on Spirit Fruits as her formidable physique continued to absorb the Imperial elixir dew.

Liu Yexi and Xiao Fei'er, watching nearby, couldn't help but smile. Outside their circle, Zhe Liang and Gu Xiaoqi stood guard, ensuring no one intruded. The celestial liquor poured into them as well, their Demon Clan bloodlines enabling them to absorb it at a rapid rate.

Further out, disciples of Lanyan Royal School exerted every ounce of effort to absorb as much of the Imperial elixir dew as possible, unwilling to let even a drop go to waste. Such fortune was a once-in-a-lifetime event for many cultivators.

For Gu Lan, who brought forth this miraculous boon upon the human realm, the fortune was just as bountiful.

"I didn't expect merging the Nine Heavens Earth Essence would trigger such a massive transformation. This reward is almost overwhelming!"

Seated atop the Azure Lotus of Merits, Gu Lan observed the flowing river of golden Merit energy with an irrepressible smile. The Merit Golden Robe he wore was ascending in quality under this tidal wave of Merit energy. With enough Merit, its power might rival that of the Azure Lotus of Merits itself. Not only was the robe advancing, but every treasure and weapon he possessed was receiving an immense blessing from the Imperial elixir dew, increasing in quality. The most notable improvement was with his Hongmeng Sword, now gleaming with an even more radiant light.

Gu Lan's power had fully returned to its peak, yet the ease of stepping into the God Realm gave him pause. He wanted to master all Rules to their fullest extent before advancing. He had a sense that his ascension to the God Realm would differ entirely from that of the Bright Clan Divine Son's God Realm.

As he organized his gains from merging the Nine Heavens Earth Essence, a familiar notification rang in his mind.

> [You have completed the remarkable feat of World Ascension, blessing countless beings, and received a special reward: Comprehension of Heavenly Dao x1]

> [Millions bow in reverence, Destiny +1000, +1000, +1000...]

> [World Ascension, Jing Nation Fate +10000]

Having amassed a great amount of Destiny, Gu Lan felt his Destiny was beyond comparison. Even Chen Feng's formidable Destiny couldn't rival his own. However, he noted that his Destiny seemed lacking in luck; he hadn't experienced any of Chen Feng's absurdly lucky encounters like stumbling upon top-tier divine artifacts or discovering supreme cultivation techniques by chance. Still, perhaps the absence of misfortune was itself a sign of his Destiny's strength, as even proximity to Chen Feng never seemed to bring him bad luck.

Besides Destiny, Jing Nation's national Fate had grown significantly. With Earthly Realm now elevated, it was not far behind the Immortal Realm, a comparable "tenth heaven" to its nine. As Earthly Realm's greatest power, Jing Nation's rise in Fate was only natural.

Reviewing his newfound Destiny and national Fate, Gu Lan's attention shifted to his latest reward.

> [Comprehension of Heavenly Dao: allows the user to embody the Heavenly Dao, gaining insight into all existence and the Three Thousand Rules.]

In an instant, he understood its purpose. This gift of Comprehension of Heavenly Dao functioned similarly to the world origin within the Immortal Realm, though more direct and potent. Rather than requiring personal effort to understand, it granted immediate comprehension of Heavenly Dao.

Reflecting a moment, he decided not to use this gift himself but to give it to his dear wife. His current understanding of the Rules was nearing perfection, and he preferred to gain insight through his own effort, feeling it would be more profound and enduring that way.

With this thought, Gu Lan transformed the Azure Lotus of Merits beneath him into a jade green lotus hairpin, which he tucked into his hair. Then he flew from his seclusion, landing atop Tianqiong Mountain in an instant.

"Darling!"

Mu Yuyan immediately sensed Gu Lan's presence and flew over to him.

Gu Simu also awoke from her meditative state.

"Daddy!" she cried, rushing toward him with such speed that little Suan Ni, who had been absorbing the Imperial elixir dew atop her head, was flung off in the process. Fortunately, Xiao Fei'er caught little Suan Ni before it hit the ground.

"Mumu, you're all grown up now; still behaving like a child!" Xiao Fei'er sighed as she checked on little Suan Ni, grateful it hadn't been hurt. While it would have been unharmed physically, it could have crushed the flora below, which had all received the divine liquor.

After all, the grass and flowers may very well gain sentience and become plant spirits in the future. With enough time and wisdom, they might one day cultivate and help tend to the gardens and herb fields of Lanyan Royal School.
