My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 368: Assisting His Majesty to Break Through

Within this Demon Clan army, the lowest strength level was the Saint Stage. Additionally, there were ten individuals with an aura reaching the Imperial Realm, positioned as the main commanders. Such a powerful army, when arranged in a battle formation, could combine their strength to unleash a formidable force.

If guided by a Divine Realm expert who mastered the power of origin, the Demon Clan army’s potential would be even more formidable.

Moreover, these slumbering Demon Clan soldiers emanated an aura of death, which was perfectly counteractive to the angels of the Immortal Realm’s Bright Temple. It was no wonder that the Demon King of No Start, known as the strongest ruler of the Demon Realm’s most powerful clan, possessed such trump cards capable of standing against even the Immortal Realm’s mightiest forces.

"I have awaited this moment for ten thousand years," said the Demon King of No Start. "These Demon Clan soldiers of No Start have done the same. They willingly slumber in this dark, sunless abyss, all for the day they can once again see the light and fight for the Demon Clan citizens of the Nostart Demon Domain!"

"My dear Gu! Feng Yang!"

"From this day forth, the realms of immortals, demons, and the human world are allied! We shall watch over and aid each other!"

The Demon King of No Start looked at the ten thousand slumbering Demon Clan soldiers, and his resolute gaze revealed a hint of emotion. He turned to face Gu Lan and the Feng Yang Emperor, producing two ancient, black tokens.

He infused a trace of demonic energy into them, causing a black radiance to shimmer and subtly connect with the Demon Clan army in the abyss.

"These are the highest-grade summoning tokens of the Demon Clan. Holding these tokens, once fully activated, you can summon the assistance of the ten thousand soldiers here... and my true form!"

After saying this, he handed the two tokens to Gu Lan and the Feng Yang Emperor.

Holding the tokens, even the well-experienced Feng Yang Emperor was moved. He hadn’t anticipated that the Demon King of No Start would be so generous right from the start. Whether it was the ten thousand Demon Clan soldiers or the tokens, forged from countless rare treasures, they were invaluable.

The Demon King of No Start’s offering demonstrated a sincerity that could not be overlooked.

Immediately, the Feng Yang Emperor took out two equally precious spatial treasures, the Star Seals. Once activated, these could connect briefly with the Zhou Tian Star Formation within the Feng Yang Immortal Domain. As long as the Star Seals were active, whether in the Demon Realm or the human world, the Feng Yang Emperor could lead the Immortal Realm’s army to provide support.

With a summoning token in his left hand and a Star Seal in his right, Gu Lan felt compelled to reciprocate.

"Offer a peach, and receive a plum in return," Gu Lan said.

"Here are two sets of battle formation exercises, derived from my studies of human battle formations, chess, and array formations. They are called the Nine-Star Formation. I hope they will be useful to Brother Nostart and Second Brother Feng Yang."

With that, Gu Lan handed over two already inscribed jade slips to the Demon King of No Start and the Feng Yang Emperor.

The Nine-Star Formation was originally a battle formation Gu Lan had prepared for Lin Lu. However, because the soldiers of Jing Nation were not yet strong enough to fully unleash its true power, Gu Lan had not given it to Lin Lu. During his time away from the human world, Gu Lan revisited and refined the Nine-Star Formation whenever he had the chance.

After observing the remnants of the Celestial Starry Formation in the Feng Yang Immortal Domain, he gained further insights.

As a result, the Nine-Star Formation’s power had surpassed its previous state. However, it now also required higher cultivation levels. Since the Jing Nation soldiers could no longer use it, Gu Lan decided to present it as a favor to the Immortal and Demon Realms.

"This formation is marvelous!" exclaimed the Demon King of No Start after examining the Nine-Star Formation. "With this formation, the combat effectiveness of my Demon Clan army can be increased by at least fifty percent!"

The Demon King of No Start was overjoyed. He had personally established the million-strong army for the grand review and the ten thousand elite troops in the abyss. He was well-versed in military formations, but compared to Gu Lan’s Nine-Star Formation, his efforts seemed minor in comparison.

Feng Yang Emperor felt similarly impressed. He had not expected Gu Lan to possess such high expertise in battle formations. With the Nine-Star Formation, it would not take much time for him to create an army in the Immortal Realm comparable to the elite force at the bottom of the abyss.

However, before proceeding, Feng Yang Emperor planned another trip to both the Demon Realm and the Underworld. The greatest threat posed by the extraterrestrial entities was naturally to the Immortal and Demon Realms. Yet, if these realms fell, the Underworld and the other three thousand worlds would also face severe peril.

Feng Yang Emperor aimed to gather the strength of the Six Realms before the extraterrestrial threat fully materialized. He even intended to visit the three thousand human worlds.

He shared this plan with Gu Lan and the Demon King of No Start. The Demon King of No Start nodded in agreement. While his influence was substantial within the Demon Realm, it did not carry the same weight outside. He preferred to stay and continue developing the strength of the Demon Realm. Now, with the Nine-Star Formation, it was an opportune moment to enhance the Demon Realm’s military power.

Furthermore, the disappearance of several angels from the Demon God Prison had likely alerted the Bright Temple, which had probably already begun covert investigations.

The whole matter required careful handling on Gu Lan’s part. After the Chiyang Saint Sovereign awoke, Gu Lan planned to return to the human world first. His aim was to properly settle the masters who had descended from the Demon Clan, spur them on a bit, and offer some incentives to speed up their progress.

Additionally, Gu Lan requested Feng Yang Emperor to keep an eye out for outstanding cultivators across various realms. Any promising talents could be sent to the human world for cultivation. Gu Lan assured that all kinds of talents, once in the human world, would be trained and educated without regrets.

After a fruitful discussion, the founders of the Immortal Demon Alliance were very pleased. The grand review in the Demon Realm continued, with the Demon King of No Start needing to oversee the proceedings. Feng Yang Emperor returned to his quarters to study the Nine-Star Formation, while Gu Lan, carrying the Summoning Demon Token and Star Seal, also went back to his room.

As soon as Gu Lan entered the room, Mu Yuyan awoke from her meditative state, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy.

"Husband, you’re finally back—" Mu Yuyan’s tone carried a hint of reproach. She was just a step away from breaking through, but Gu Lan’s departure had left her in a limbo, making her feel a peculiar, frustrating sensation of being on the brink but unable to advance.

Hearing Mu Yuyan’s voice, Gu Xiaoqi, who was perched on Gu Lan’s shoulder, instantly woke up. Being a phoenix, she didn’t indulge in romantic affairs, so she sensibly returned to the Divine Space Ring to sleep.

With the only interruption gone, Gu Lan didn’t hesitate. He wrapped his arm around Mu Yuyan’s slender waist and coughed lightly before smiling, "Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble servant has completed his tasks and will now dedicate himself to assisting Your Majesty’s breakthrough. Satisfaction is guaranteed!"

That night, the stars filled the sky. At the City of No Start’s training grounds, the million-strong Demon Clan army continued their exercises, their martial chants resounding across the Six Realms and stirring the winds and clouds.

Above the Demon Palace of No Start, numerous phenomena appeared, stirring boundless demonic energy. Simultaneously, snowflakes began to fall, bringing a chill that lingered around a specific room.

Inside the room, the empress sat on the bed in a posture reminiscent of a celestial goddess, her expression cold and holy like that of a snow deity. Thanks to Gu Lan’s diligent efforts, she finally broke through in her cultivation. This new level deepened her understanding of the Snow Clan’s legacy...
