Chapter 827: The Crimson Flame Palace's Proposal
The capital of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Gu Heng sat in the restaurant, enjoying the pleasant time in peace and contentment.
This restaurant isn't some small place like Guanyue Tower; it's the largest restaurant in the capital, and it's said that its powerful backer is a high-ranking official in the imperial court... but that has nothing to do with him.
In terms of "backing," his backer is none other than the reigning Empress!
Gu Heng has been in the Central Plains Dynasty for a week, a very fulfilling week.
Over the past week, he had explored the entire capital. Although he didn't travel alone, whenever he chose to go out, Qin Yiyao would conveniently appear, tug at his clothes, and insist on coming along. Naturally, he couldn't resist the little girl's insistence, so he had no choice but to take her with him.
Qin Yiyao is an empress, but almost no one knows her true appearance, considering that she has only been on the throne for less than a year, and that she deliberately maintains her mystery...
Gu Heng did ask why she didn't announce it to the world, and her answer was, "That way, I won't be able to quietly follow my master's professional path." This answer really struck a chord with Gu Heng.
Although he knew the little girl was very clingy, Gu Heng was still troubled by how clingy she was.
Fortunately.
Gu Heng could finally enjoy his solitude in peace. The little girl was busy with government affairs every day, so she didn't have much time to cling to Gu Heng.
but.
This week of travel has broadened Gu Heng's horizons considerably, especially the luxurious amenities in the capital city, which have truly opened his eyes! It makes him regret not having explored the Xuan Tian Realm more thoroughly back then.
They have to stay in that deserted city every day, doing nothing and missing out on all the beautiful scenery.
Looking back now, it is indeed a bit of a pity.
Have you heard about that 'Supreme Realm' lately?
At this moment, the discussions in the restaurant all turned to one topic.
"You mean that secret that came from the Jue Tian Pavilion, that the Xuan Tian Realm was originally a single entity, but because some people with ulterior motives tried to become stronger and went against the will of Heaven, the vast Xuan Tian Realm was shattered into what it is today?"
"That sounds so fake, it sounds fake as soon as you hear it."
"Hey, don't say that. I think it makes a lot of sense. Why would the Absolute Heaven Pavilion spread lies to make fun of you ants?" "As if you're not an ant yourself..."
There is much debate about this.
Gu Heng sat to the side, watching the well-dressed patrons argue heatedly, their faces flushed, and smiled without saying a word.
"Let's argue it out slowly..."
"Once this trend emerges, everything will be different."
This little girl always does what she says she'll do.
She said she wanted to convey the truth about this world, and she really did. Gu Heng only just found out that the so-called "Jue Tian Ge" was actually a force composed of his acquaintances, and each of them was related to him.
Moreover, they have firmly taken control of the entire Xuan Tian Realm!
Jue Tian Ge is ridiculously strong.
Gu Heng truly couldn't understand how those people he knew suddenly possessed such great abilities, capable of building a power that was regarded as the pinnacle by the entire Xuan Tian Realm...
However, perhaps they are just very capable.
After all, the people in the Jue Tian Pavilion, such as Jiang Lingyun and Jian Xuan, the senior brother and sister who went through a long journey to find true love, were already top experts in the Xuan Tian Realm. It's not reasonable for these experts to get stronger and stronger!
He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to that.
Anyway, the stronger the Jue Tian Pavilion is, the better it is for him, right?
As for how to become stronger, as long as it's all done through the right path, it doesn't matter.
But at this time.
Everyone in the restaurant stopped arguing.
Gu Heng looked up and saw that many people were looking out the window, as if they had seen something incredible. Their expressions varied, and some even exclaimed in surprise.
He looked out the window and saw a deep, undeniable rumble coming from the sky!
There were also flashes of light, but upon closer inspection, it looked as if something had exploded. It was far away in the sky, even beyond the Xuan Tian Realm, yet the commotion was still outrageously large.
"What's going on with that strange phenomenon?"
"It's hard to say. We are not strong enough to sense what is happening, but those powerful individuals do know a thing or two..."
The drinkers were buzzing with discussion.
Gu Heng watched with great interest.
After all, this kind of "scenery" is not something you usually get to see.
……
"Wow, that's quite a commotion."
Inside the imperial palace, Qin Yiyao looked up at the dome, her gaze seemingly piercing through to the heavens.
She didn't know what was going on. But that location was in the celestial realm.
After her cultivation broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, or rather, the "Supreme Emperor Realm," Qin Yiyao discovered that her perception could reach extremely far. She even ventured alone into the Xuan Tian Realm just to catch a glimpse of the endless void.
As it turned out, that boundless darkness wasn't much to see; aside from the countless stars, which had a somewhat poetic feel, there wasn't much else to be interested in.
However, Qin Yiyao still saw other realms.
She saw four other realms in the endless void, though they appeared to be close together. However, in the endless void, simply "seeing" them was of little use.
That distance was actually quite far, so far that even now, it would take her several months to physically reach it.
No wonder the "Five Realms Passage" was so important back then.
Without those spatial teleportation channels, relying solely on traversing the void would waste a tremendous amount of time. Not to mention, the endless void is also a perilous place fraught with unseen dangers!
"Is Her Majesty the Empress interested in that commotion?"
Qin Yiyao silently withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the mysterious figure who had come to see her.
According to him, he is a confidant of the Lord of the Crimson Flame Palace. He is dressed in a fiery robe and his strength is indeed extraordinary, reaching the Supreme Realm!
In the present Xuantian Realm, apart from the Jue Tian Pavilion, only the Chi Yan Palace has the strength to produce a powerful expert who ranks as a Celestial Lord or Demon General.
So it's quite credible.
When this person of such status suddenly came to visit her in the Central Plains Dynasty, Qin Yiyao felt that it probably wasn't anything good.
But she also wanted to know what kind of force the Crimson Flame Palace had suddenly appeared, what its background was, and what its plans were. The Absolute Heaven Pavilion already knew, while the Crimson Flame Palace remained in the shadows—this was not good. "Do you know what's going on?"
She said coldly.
"I know a little bit. What my Lord of the Crimson Flame Palace said is that the Demon Realm is now eager to attack the Immortal Realm. I imagine that the Demon Realm army has already reached the outskirts of the Immortal Realm. The commotion..."
"It's probably the demon army that's using every means possible to break through the immortal realm's defenses."
He didn't care much about the commotion in the sky; he just kept his eyes fixed on Qin Yiyao.
"Your Majesty, I have come here with a proposal from my Lord of the Crimson Flame Palace that would benefit both sides. I wonder if Your Majesty would be interested in hearing it?"
