Chapter 361 Awakening
Three months later, finally, the Canglan Realm truly belonged to the Qingyun Realm. All the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stage cultivators, except for a few who fled with the Immortal Venerable, were dead. The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm was also refined into pure Heavenly Dao energy, which became nourishment for the advancement of the Qingyun Realm. The Qingyun Realm has already begun its advancement.
With a deafening roar, a rainbow of light flashed across the sky, and countless laws and fortunes poured into the world. This was the world's return to life after its advancement. Of course, the greatest return came to those who had contributed to the war. Gu Yuchuan could feel his fortune growing again, and his magic power was ready to advance to the Nascent Soul stage at any time. However, he had not yet awakened and could not begin the advancement process.
On his panel, the number of luck has reached 280, which is a huge increase. He is only 20 away from becoming a mid-level child of luck. If he can cross that threshold, it will be a whole new world. He looks forward to that day.
Currently, many cultivators have entered seclusion. Everyone has benefited and wants to turn this benefit into the possibility of advancement. In fact, the Azure Cloud Realm may soon see its fifth or sixth Nascent Soul cultivator. This is a momentous event that could change the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape).
Currently, both the human and demon races each have two Nascent Soul cultivators, one in the mid-stage and one in the early stage. If one side has one more Nascent Soul cultivator, it will naturally have a greater advantage and be able to develop better in the future.
However, the Demon Lord did not go into seclusion. What he needed to do now was to consolidate the territory he had been allocated. Only in this way could his cultivation level potentially increase if he went into seclusion again. As the world advanced, he felt that he could truly make further progress.
The other one who wasn't in seclusion was the Cloud Phoenix Demon Queen. Actually, she could be preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage right now, but she needed Gu Yuchuan's dragon energy. This would definitely boost her potential. At her cultivation level, even a small boost would be significant. She had invested in Gu Yuchuan specifically for this dragon energy, so she couldn't possibly give it up. So she just waited. Fortunately, she had good aptitude and a long lifespan, so she wasn't worried.
At this moment, Gu Yuchuan was finally about to wake up. He felt as if he could control his body again. He tried hard to move, but he could only slightly twitch his eyelids.
However, this was also seen by a bright and beautiful young girl. She was in the pool at the moment, her eyes shining with a sharp light. She looked charming and beautiful, with a pair of round and lovely almond eyes. She was wearing a pale yellow dress and had two dragon horns on her head. This was the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace, the core area of the Demon Lord, so it was clear that this person had a deep relationship with the Demon Lord.
She walked out with light steps: "Someone, quickly go and inform my uncle that the Azure Dragon Demon King is about to wake up."
She calls the Demon Lord "uncle," which means they are related by blood. Such a status is not low in the entire demon race.
Not long after, Gu Yuchuan woke up. He immediately saw the woman in front of him. He could sense that she was a snake demon who had followed the path of dragon transformation, and should be a high-grade spirit beast. With one more step, she could become a dragon. However, he also instantly understood her background. She was someone who had a close relationship with the Demon Lord.
The woman bowed to Gu Yuchuan. She was only a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core stage: "Greetings, Demon King. I have already sent someone to inform my uncle, the Demon Lord. He should be arriving soon. Please wait here for a moment."
Gu Yuchuan nodded, his tone very polite. The Demon Lord's niece was not someone to be offended or ignored casually; one had to deal with her with utmost care.
"Thank you so much, I'm really sorry to trouble you. I don't know how to address you."
The other person then realized that they hadn't introduced themselves, and their face flushed instantly: "My name is Mo Nan'an, and my title is Su Lian Demon King. You can just call me Nan'an."
The Demon Lord entered at this moment. Seeing their atmosphere, he was very satisfied. He had sent his niece to take care of Gu Yuchuan, intending to arrange a marriage. After seeing Gu Yuchuan become a high-grade exotic beast, he understood that Gu Yuchuan's ascension to the Nascent Soul stage was just around the corner—a chosen one. A high-grade exotic beast—if these two combined couldn't lead to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, then he would only perish along the way.
Therefore, he planned to deepen their relationship. He knew that Gu Yuchuan intended to establish a dynasty, and when that happened, the concubines would be connected by fate after being conferred titles. Occupying one of them would be a good thing. So, he found Mo Nan'an from the clan, who had good cultivation and potential. Such potential was a good match for marriage, and he wouldn't feel too bad about it.
"Is my timing bad? I've disturbed your meeting, young man. Xiao Gu, I'll make the decision. How about I betroth her to you as a concubine? I know you're about to advance in your cultivation, so your Empress will definitely be a Nascent Soul stage expert. I won't force you to do anything against the rules of the dynasty, but she should be able to hold onto this concubine position."
Gu Yuchuan's heart was beating faster. This marriage was very beneficial to him. First of all, it would strengthen his connection with the Demon Lord, who was the strongest person in the Qingyun Realm. Strengthening their connection would only bring him benefits and no harm.
Secondly, there's Mo Nan'an herself. After she becomes a dragon, their offspring might even be born as dragons, and at that time, they would also have the strength to advance to the level of a divine dragon. Not to mention, Mo Nan'an herself is a Golden Core stage expert. Whether she's staying at home or going out to handle affairs, she's someone who can handle things on her own.
"Thank you, Demon Lord. After I return and establish my dynasty, I will bring generous gifts to propose marriage. I have a high-grade magic treasure, the Milky Way Hairpin, which is not very precious. You can use it to play with, and it can also be a token of our betrothal."
Mo Nan'an's face flushed red. With her cultivation level, she didn't have any high-grade magic treasures. She carefully accepted them, saying, "I will wait for you at the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace."
Gu Yuchuan took out another jade slip: "Demon Lord. This is the method of divine cultivation. However, I still need to remind you that cultivating both the divine and immortal paths is something that can only be done after becoming an immortal. For now, it can only be used as a reference."
The Demon Lord nodded slightly. Since it concerned his path to immortality, his gaze became much more solemn: "Alright, then our agreement is complete. I have already chosen your territory. The entire Cangzhu River is yours."
Gu Yuchuan's pupils dilated. Such a grand gesture? This Cangzhu River was already one-tenth of what the Demon Lord had gained, something he had never even considered. The Demon Lord was actually willing to give it up, which meant he genuinely wanted to have a good relationship with him. Naturally, he was willing too, and immediately nodded in agreement.
