The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Behind her followed two squads of heavily armored imperial guards, each one an elite among the elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There was no coldness in her eyes, but the moment she looked at Qin Changye, he felt an icy chill that seemed otherworldly.

Qin Changye looked back at the Empress and suddenly froze.

so similar!

The lower half of her face was covered by a veil to shield her from detection, but the pair of extremely beautiful eyes that were exposed were remarkably similar to those of Bai Luoli, the woman who had killed Qin Changye in her previous life!

If it weren't for the fact that her cultivation level was far inferior to Bai Luoli's, and that her figure was also somewhat different, Qin Changye would have even thought that she was Bai Luoli.

His thoughts drifted back to his past life. As the most powerful emperor, Qin Changye was invincible in the human realm and wanted to compete with the immortals. Therefore, he opened the Heavenly Gate with his sword for the first time in history, seeking to ascend to the immortal realm.

On that day, Qin Changye invited heroes from all over the world to observe, not to show off, but to allow these powerful beings who would one day have the opportunity to ascend to immortality to learn some experience in creating a new world and ascending to immortality.

However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

Qin Changye exerted all his strength to withstand seven bolts of heavenly lightning, each a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Just when he thought he had successfully created the heavens and was about to ascend, a black bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the heavenly gate.

This black lightning bolt was unprecedentedly terrifying, exceeding the combined power of the previous seven lightning bolts, and severely injured Qin Changye, who was already at his wit's end.

What Qin Changye didn't expect was...

Bai Luoli, the woman he trusted most, was most obedient, most kind, and most beloved, suddenly acted out of character and plunged a sword into his body from behind.

At that moment, Bai Luoli changed. The gaze she gave him no longer held the admiration and affection of the past, but was filled with endless coldness.

She couldn't wait to dig out Qin Changye's most important Eternal Heart.

He solemnly vowed, "I swore to be with you forever. Now, I'll take your heart and implant it into my body, and then we'll truly be together forever..."

Qin Changye felt that the Empress Ye Fengyue in front of him was very similar to Bai Luoli in his previous life, not only in her eyes but also in her aura.

They must be the same kind of people, both cultivating the path of ruthlessness.

Beside her, Zhao Qingcheng frowned, about to speak and try to delay the wedding.

Once he came to his senses, Qin Changye spoke first: "If Your Majesty wishes to marry today, then let us marry today."

The Empress's lips curled slightly beneath her veil as she thought to herself that Qin Changye was quite sensible.

Before she could turn and leave, Qin Changye continued, "Since His Majesty has come, he couldn't have come empty-handed, could he? I wonder what wedding gift His Majesty plans to give us?"

The entire room fell silent instantly.

In all their years of life, this was the first time they had ever seen anyone dare to ask the Empress for something.

That's incredibly audacious!

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem to make any mistakes.

Qin Changye and Zhao Qingcheng, one a descendant of a loyal martyr and the other a newly meritorious general, were also betrothed by the Empress herself. It would be somewhat unreasonable for her not to offer something in return.

Zhao Qingcheng turned to look at Qin Changye and suddenly realized that this person was not only much bolder than she had imagined, but also much more interesting.

The Empress remained silent; she hadn't expected Qin Changye to dare ask her for a gift in public.

The key issue is that she left the palace in such a hurry that she didn't prepare any gifts.

Of course, if she said she didn't bring a gift under everyone's watchful eyes, the news would spread throughout the entire capital within half an hour.

"Of course I couldn't have come empty-handed; I've already prepared wedding gifts for you."

As the empress spoke, she took out a large, antique wooden box from her spatial ring.

The wooden box was opened, and thirteen longswords lay quietly inside.

Each sword is engraved with advanced runes, and its blade gleams freely.

"This is... the Thirteen Swords of Zhuxian?"

Those in the audience who knew their stuff exclaimed in surprise.

This drew gasps of surprise.

The Thirteen Swords of Zhuxian are legendary super weapons.

It is said that if all thirteen swords are gathered together, they can form the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which is powerful enough to kill the Holy Emperor.

The Empress sighed. She paid an enormous price, searching almost the entire Great Wilderness, and it took her five whole years to collect all thirteen swords.

Unfortunately, after collecting them all, it was discovered that each sword was damaged to varying degrees, making it impossible to form the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Fortunately, even when used individually, each one is enough to be among the top divine weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She looked down at the thirteen swords, her heart filled with conflict.

Each one of them is priceless, and she feels the pinch when she gives any of them away.

She simply closed her eyes, intending to pick up a handful at random and give it to Qin Changye.

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, Qin Changye's voice rang in her ears: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon me the Thirteen Swords."

The Empress suddenly opened her eyes and looked down to see that Qin Changye had already put away the thirteen swords along with the wooden box.

His movements were fluid and seamless, giving her no chance to stop him.

In fact, Qin Changye did not put the thirteen swords into his spatial ring at this moment, but instead put them into his sea of ​​consciousness and buried them in the burial soil on the first floor of the Burial Immortal Tower.

These burial soils can be used to unearth immortal puppets from buried corpses, and immortal medicines from buried herbs.

I wonder if burying these longswords will lead to the discovery of a celestial sword?

At least repairing the damage to these longswords shouldn't be a big problem!

Qin Changye was eagerly anticipating what kind of formidable power the thirteen swords would display when he unearthed them a few days later.

Beside her, the Empress snapped out of her daze and opened her mouth to say something, but Ren Pingsheng suddenly led the applause: "Your Majesty's generosity is truly remarkable! Thirteen divine weapons—I am utterly impressed!"

Beside him, Li Yourong, Master Ta, and others all nodded in deep agreement, echoing his sentiments.

The Empress's lips twitched beneath her veil, and she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She maintained a calm and composed demeanor, but her heart was in turmoil.

In the end, he suppressed his anger and thought to himself, "Fine, let him keep these thirteen swords for now. He will surely die when facing that phoenix-shaped heavenly lightning at the wedding. Once he's dead, these thirteen swords will naturally return to my hands."

After Qin Changye buried the Thirteen Swords of Zhuxian, he was naturally not satisfied. His gaze then turned to the ten princes who had followed the Empress.

"Everyone, you're all here for my wedding, right? I'm sure you've all prepared your wedding gifts, haven't you?"
