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

Chapter 409: Ancient Divine City

"Alright, let's head back!"

After a long silence, Gu Shechenxin sighed and turned back the way she came.

She understood that after this parting, she would probably never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Jiancheng again.

She was a chosen one of heaven, believing from birth that she could overpower all the prodigies of the hundred races beyond the heavens. Even when facing the arrogant Jun Daolin, she never showed any fear.

But facing Gu Jiancheng, she felt increasingly desperate.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiancheng was already traveling through the void when he took out the jade pendant.

"Miss Donghuang, I think I've seen that strange force you mentioned!"

"Hehe, really? You killed him?" Donghuang Yuechan replied quickly.

But her voice was panting, as if she were in the midst of a battle.

"Hmm, the strength I saw wasn't particularly strong, but I sensed a strange aura within them, and it was unlike any other strange aura I'd seen before—it was incredibly pure!"

This is what puzzled Gu Jiancheng the most.

He had seen many strange energies, and even refined quite a few, but the strange energies within these mysterious cultivators were almost at the origin level, frighteningly pure.

"Hehe, that's right. You're almost at the core area now. Don't worry, once you see me, I'll show you something that will definitely surprise you!"

However, Donghuang Yuechan seemed to still want to maintain a good relationship and didn't explain things clearly.

"It's so cold! Come over here quickly, I'm waiting for you!"

After saying this, Donghuang Yuechan fell silent.

Gu Jiancheng shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to push his movement technique to its limit.

Another month passed, and Gu Jiancheng finally approached the location of Donghuang Yuechan.

Since he entered the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield half a month ago, he has been constantly attacked by that mysterious cultivator.

They appeared even more frequently than vengeful spirits and corpse cultivators.

Gu Jiancheng even suspected that these mysterious cultivators were deliberately preventing him from getting close to the core area.

When Gu Jiancheng saw a pitch-black city wall stretching across the starry sky in the chaotic darkness, and Donghuang Yuechan standing beneath the city wall, his expression changed drastically once again.

At this moment, Donghuang Yuechan stood beneath the city wall, clad in golden armor, her thousands of golden hairs flying like fire, resembling an ancient female war goddess.

But what shocked Gu Jiancheng was that she was surrounded by a dense array of black-armored cultivators.

These cultivators poured out of the city walls one after another, rushing towards Donghuang Yuechan like a tide.

At this moment, Donghuang Yuechan simply held a golden moon scythe in her hand, and with each swing, countless moon wheels raged, reaping the black-armored cultivators piece by piece.

But these black-armored cultivators seemed to be endless.

Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng stepped forward to offer his help.

But at this moment, Donghuang Yuechan suddenly raised her hand and summoned the Heaven-Covering Diagram.

He bound his hands into a mudra and chanted incantations.

The next moment, all the black-armored cultivators vanished from in front of the city wall, as if they had never existed.

Gu Jiancheng frowned slightly.

What kind of supernatural power is this!?

He didn't understand it for a moment.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"The Six Secrets of the Ancient Gods!?"

Although Donghuang Yuechan's supernatural powers were performed with the help of the Covering Heaven Diagram, the essence of them was very similar to ancient and mysterious arts!

"Hehe, good eye! It is indeed an ancient and mysterious technique, the Void Secret of the Six Secrets!"

"A secret technique based on the laws of space!"

Donghuang Yuechan turned around and smiled sweetly, "You were able to tell so quickly, so you must also possess ancient and mysterious arts, right?"

"Have you already mastered the Time-based Secret Technique? After all, you have another Heaven-Defying Pearl in your hands!"

Donghuang Yuechan knows all this?

Gu Jiancheng frowned slightly; this woman really knew a lot.

But Gu Jiancheng chuckled and descended, saying, "It's not just the Time Secret!"

"Tsk tsk, that makes sense. The fact that you can sweep everything away without any restrictions in the Eight Desolations Domain means you must possess some ancient and mysterious techniques."

"You're really amazing! I only know one, and Di Zhou of Wentian Pavilion only knows one too. If he knew you knew two, he'd probably be furious!" Donghuang Yuechan laughed.

"Heh, it would be too good for him to die of anger."

Gu Jiancheng, however, just scoffed.

Gu Jiancheng would never forget how Emperor Zhou descended upon Jiuli City to demand the sword, and how he bullied others with his power.

He holds grudges, and he'll get his revenge just the same!

"Tsk tsk, I never thought that you were no match for Di Zhou five years ago, but now you have the courage to challenge him?"

Donghuang Yuechan crossed her arms and laughed.

“I don’t think he’s that strong. Or, does Miss Donghuang know where he is now?” Gu Jiancheng looked over.

If he could, he would like to fight this person right now.

"I know, but you'd better not make a move now."

"First of all, you might not be able to defeat him. Even if you and I join forces, it won't be enough. He's very strong, so don't underestimate him."

"Secondly, he is always surrounded by many powerful figures, as well as his master, so you and I are even less of a match for him."

"Thirdly, we have more important things to do now!"

As Donghuang Yuechan spoke, she looked towards the city wall.

"Do you know what this is?"

Gu Jiancheng looked at the dark Great Wall.

This Great Wall is a million feet high, and even with his divine eyes, he couldn't see its end in the left or right directions.

"I don't know, but does this city wall have an end?"

"No, or rather, the city wall is connected end to end, encompassing everything within it, so naturally there is no end, and no city gates." Donghuang Yuechan shook her head.

"What's inside the city walls?" Gu Jiancheng frowned.

"Behind this lies the Ancient Divine City, and the Xuanyuan Sword is also located there!"

But after Donghuang Yuechan finished speaking, Gu Jiancheng's eyes suddenly flickered.

The ancient divine city! ?
