Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 401 What is a God? What is an Immortal?

"You all go back to the camp with the Palace Master first, I'll be right back!"

After giving these instructions, Gu Jiancheng hurriedly headed to Qianxing Tower.

The fact that even the Asking Heaven Pavilion is so wary of this Thousand Star Tower shows that it is indeed extraordinary.

Soon, Gu Jiancheng arrived at Qianxing Tower, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a young girl and led to the side hall secret room he had visited before.

"Young Master Gu was truly remarkable in the Eight Desolate Regions this time!"

The girl suddenly laughed at that moment.

Looking at Gu Jiancheng, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Xiao Tao, let the guests in."

Before Gu Jiancheng could speak, a sound suddenly rang out from inside the secret room.

"okay!"

"Sir, please come in!"

The girl stuck out her tongue before pushing the door open a crack.

"Thank you!"

Gu Jiancheng nodded before entering the secret room.

But at this moment, he felt a subtle tremor in his heart.

Because this seemingly ordinary maid in front of us has actually reached an astonishing sixth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm!

He is even stronger than Jun Daolin, who was once hailed as the number one among all races!

What on earth is this Thousand Star Tower?!

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng had already entered the secret room.

Although this was my second time here, the difference from the last time was that the mysterious woman was not sitting behind the screen, but sitting in the very center of the secret boudoir.

At that moment, she was holding a glass of wine, looking at him with a smile.

"Gu Jiancheng greets Miss Donghuang!"

Gu Jiancheng stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

Although he has now swept away all the demons of the hundred races, in terms of cultivation, he is still nearly eight minor realms behind Donghuang Yuechan in front of him.

This woman is terrifying in both status and cultivation.

"Hehe, no need for formalities. Now that you know who I am, there's no need for me to introduce myself. Please have a seat!"

Donghuang Yuechan raised her hand, gesturing for Gu Jiancheng to sit down, and at the same time, the mysterious radiance surrounding her slowly dissipated.

At this moment, even without using his Divine Eyes of Insight, Gu Jiancheng could clearly see Donghuang Yuechan's appearance.

She had a slender figure, golden hair, and a fair face.

Gu Jiancheng had seen far too many beauties, many of whom were unparalleled beauties in the world.

Not to mention his wife Yun Shuiyao, even Tu Shan Xi and Huan Cai Yi are both incredibly beautiful.

But seeing Dongfang Yuechan's appearance now still left Gu Jiancheng feeling amazed.

Or perhaps, Donghuang Yuechan was born with the aura of an ancient clan leader.

In terms of temperament, only Yunshuiyao can rival it.

"Did you find that bead?"

Immediately, just as Gu Jiancheng was pondering this, the woman suddenly spoke, getting straight to the point.

"Of course I found it!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled, then raised his hand and took out the Yang Pearl from the Heavenly Reversal Pearl.

The jewel shimmered with dazzling, multicolored light, making it exceptionally bright in the dimly lit secret room.

Upon seeing the precious pearl, Donghuang Yuechan's expression changed drastically. She could no longer suppress her joy and excitement, which flashed wildly in her eyes.

But in the end, she steadied herself and remained seated in the chair. Then she looked at Gu Jiancheng and said, "It seems that Young Master Gu is indeed a person with great fortune."

"This treasure is not something anyone can obtain."

"So, I wonder what requests Young Master Gu wishes to make of my Thousand Star Pavilion?"

She had previously promised Gu Jiancheng that if he obtained the bead, Qianxinglou would grant him one request.

"Before making any further requests, I would like to ask, what exactly is the Thousand Star Tower?" Gu Jiancheng countered.

This caused Donghuang Yuechan's expression to change slightly.

"After all, before making a request, I need to know if Thousand Star Tower has the energy to meet it, right?" Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but ask again upon seeing this.

"Hehe, that's not wrong!"

Donghuang Yuechan paused for a moment, then stood up and looked out the window, saying, "Qianxing Tower is indeed of great status. Although I don't know how to describe it to you, you only need to know that our strength is no less than that of Wentian Pavilion."

"The reason why my reputation is not as great as that of Wentian Pavilion is simply because the experts in my building disdain getting too involved in the affairs of the Outer Heavens."

"The Thousand Star Tower reveres the Eastern Emperor, and as for the Eastern Emperor, you may have already heard of the legend of the Human Emperor."

"The Donghuang clan was once the Human Emperor!"

He was once a human emperor!?

Gu Jiancheng was startled upon hearing this.

Was this Donghuang clan once a human emperor?

"Then what is the origin of the Wentian Pavilion?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.

Previously, the master of the Dao Palace had not clearly explained the origin of the Wentian Pavilion to him, or rather, the master of the Dao Palace himself did not know.

Wentian Pavilion is different from us.

They are a force established in the ancient times ten thousand years ago, before the great calamity. Their foundation is not as deep as that of my Thousand Star Tower, but their strength is very strong now.

"The biggest difference between my Thousand Star Tower and the Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion is that we are gods, while they are immortals!"

Donghuang Yuechan smiled.

"You are gods, and they are immortals?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, even more puzzled.

What exactly is the difference between gods and immortals?

This problem has actually been troubling Gu Jiancheng for a long time.

Even the large tombs we saw in the Eight Desolate Domains were actually named after immortals.

This time, however, Donghuang Yuechan looked deeply at Gu Jiancheng, and after a long while, she finally spoke with a smile: "This is a long story, and for a moment, I don't know where to begin!"

Donghuang Yuechan pondered for a long time before saying, "Let me put it this way: the outer heavens where we are now called Kunlun Realm are one of the fragments of the original continent that was formed from the body of the ancient creator god."

"In the beginning, many innate gods were born in this world. After the innate gods, there were also acquired gods. But for some reason, several great wars broke out between the gods, and the original continent collapsed."

"A god created all races, including the human race, in this Kunlun Realm. Among the human race, there are even powerful individuals who created the method of cultivating Qi and attaining Dao, possessing abilities comparable to those of gods."

"And these humans are immortals!"

"Back then, humans were still half-human, half-gods, so they were called immortals. After that, the divinity in humans completely disappeared, and the strong could only be called immortals."

"Gods and immortals are not about strength or weakness, but simply different paths."

"I wonder if you understand my explanation?" Finally, Donghuang Yuechan looked at Gu Jiancheng.

"Different paths..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng slowly nodded.

Donghuang Yuechan's explanation was actually quite clear, and it was an explanation he had never heard before.

“That’s right. So you don’t need to doubt the strength of our Thousand Star Tower. Just tell us what you need.”

Donghuang Yuechan nodded.

In short, the bead in Gu Jiancheng's hand was very important to her, and she had to get it no matter what!

"In that case, I have only one request: that you protect my forces should the Wentian Pavilion attempt to attack them!"

Gu Jiancheng thought for a moment and then said.

He had just offended the young master of the Wentian Pavilion. He himself was not afraid, but the Zhisheng Dao Palace and the Taiji Sect were not.

At this moment, he needs a reliable force to restrain the Wentian Pavilion.

At least, until his combat strength improves.

"Hehe, of course!"

"I, Donghuang Yuechan, as the young master of Qianxing Tower, assure you that as long as Wentian Pavilion takes action, we will definitely help you settle this matter!"

Donghuang Yuechan immediately smiled as well.

These conditions weren't difficult for her.

"Alright, here you go!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng immediately raised his hand and threw the Heavenly Rebellion Pearl over.

When Donghuang Yuechan held the Heavenly Rebellion Pearl in her hand, she couldn't help but beam with joy.

She was thrilled to finally have the treasure she had been searching for.

“Young Master Gu, to be honest, this item is extremely important to me, and I also gained a lot of Saint Crystals from you this time.”

"These holy crystals are my personal reward to you; please accept them."

Immediately, Donghuang Yuechan raised her hand and handed over a storage ring.

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, then took the storage ring and infiltrated it with his divine sense. But what made Gu Jiancheng gasp was that the storage space was now filled with countless holy crystals!

The number is so large that it amounts to billions!

There are simply too many to count.

"Miss Donghuang, what is this?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

What a fortune it is to have so many Holy Crystals!

"Hehe, Young Master Gu, there's no need to be confused. I've earned even more Saint Crystals from you. These fifty billion Saint Crystals are nothing to me."

"Moreover, this treasure is priceless, and fifty billion is not much."

But Donghuang Yuechan just smiled, then put away the Heavenly Reversal Pearl and asked, "But I wonder, did Young Master Gu really find a sword in the Eight Desolate Domains?"

Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this, but then smiled nonchalantly and said, "That's right. What, is Qianxing Tower interested as well?"

Gu Jiancheng's reaction puzzled Donghuang Yuechan, who then said with a half-smile, "Young Master Gu is truly a remarkable person. If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't have acknowledged it."

"Now, even if I don't admit it, will anyone believe me?" Gu Jiancheng shrugged.

“Yes, that’s right!” Donghuang Yuechan’s eyes darted around, and she said, “In that case, I hope Young Master Gu will work hard in his cultivation.”

"That ancient battlefield is a dangerous place. It's best not to go there until you're fully prepared."

"Ancient battlefield..." Gu Jiancheng stood up and smiled, "Of course we'll prepare."

"If Miss Donghuang has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave!"

"Alright, I won't see you off." Donghuang Yuechan nodded.

The maid didn't enter until Gu Jiancheng left Qianxing Tower.

"Miss, did you really get it? It was so easy, I can't believe it!"

"Hmm!" Donghuang Yuechan nodded, then raised her hands and simultaneously summoned the Heaven-Defying Pearl and the Heaven-Covering Diagram.

"This Heaven-Defying Pearl is the key to unlocking the Heaven-Covering Diagram. In this way, I can enter it and receive the Heaven-Reaching Inheritance left by the Sect Master!"
