Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Although the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace follows an elite path, with each disciple being a cultivator capable of taking on a hundred opponents, it shouldn't be limited to such a scale.

Moreover, the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace is a powerful force in the Kuntian Domain, so how could it be so shabby?

King Gu glanced indifferently at the palace in the distance, pondered for a while, and then slightly raised his head.

The line of sight pierces through the clouds, reaching straight up into the sky.

As expected, with Gu Wangjun's keen eyesight, he was able to easily see through the layer of restrictions deliberately placed high in the sky, the restrictions that concealed the true appearance of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

ga-

The coffin lid behind him was pushed open from the inside, and Duan Xingchen easily jumped out of the coffin.

She turned around and looked back, seeing the palace that was even a little too small, and asked in confusion, "Is the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace really this big?"

"Of course not." Gu Wangjun chuckled twice and pointed to the sky: "Look up."

Duan Xingchen raised her head and looked for a while before realizing that there seemed to be some kind of restriction hidden in the sky. She slowly focused her spiritual energy into her eyes and looked up. Then her eyes widened in surprise.

Suspended high in the sky, like an island in the sky!

Several palaces stand side by side, beneath which float hundreds and thousands of ice crystals, which are interconnected to form wide ice crystal avenues.

The magnificent palace at the very center shimmered with a holy azure light. With just a cursory glance, Duan Xingchen felt as if his soul had been purified, and his shocked emotions immediately subsided.

Blue Feather Heavenly Palace... truly a "Heavenly" Palace.

The floating ice crystals seem to be the source of the palace's support, and all the ice crystals extend towards the palace in the very center. If one were to examine them closely, it would seem that the palace is the source of these ice crystals that appear to float in mid-air.

"So this is the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace... It's truly magnificent."

Looking up at the archipelago palaces from below, Duan Xingchen couldn't help but praise their magnificence and grandeur.

That makes sense. Given the size of these islands, the terrain where the two of them are currently located simply cannot accommodate them. It can probably only barely accommodate a small part of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. Such a terrifying area can only be made to float directly in the air, so that it can appear spacious and comfortable compared to the vast sky. Otherwise, it would be too crowded.

It may be impressive, but it is not.

Duan Xingchen looked up at the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace in the sky until his neck ached, and couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, how do we get there?"

"Logically speaking, there should be a teleportation array." Gu Wangjun looked around, then, as if he had noticed something, pointed forward.

It was at this moment.

The sudden tremor made Gu Wangjun's heart skip a beat.

He quickly turned around, his face solemn, but there was nothing unusual in his sight.

Is it just an illusion?

He always trusted his senses more. He turned his head to look at Duan Xingchen, only to find that his junior sister seemed to have not sensed anything.

Am I being too sensitive...?

Gu Wangjun's expression remained unchanged as he recorded this strange feeling in his memory.

Duan Xingchen tilted his head obediently and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

"It's nothing." Gu Wangjun chuckled twice, rubbed his shiny bald head, and said, "The palace in front of us should be the location of the teleportation array. It was originally a palace specially set up by the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace to receive guests who did not need to go to the main hall. There must also be an array inside for people to travel back and forth."

That's what they say...

Duan Xingchen's gaze shot forward, and after carefully searching for a while, he said, "But there's no trace of an array inside..."

"Perhaps the cultivators from Blue Feather Heavenly Palace turned off the formation after they returned."

"Regardless, let's go in and take a look first."

Duan Xingchen nodded, tacitly agreeing with Gu Wangjun's judgment.

The two soon arrived at the palace, only to find the palace gates tightly locked.

Gu Wangjun tried knocking on the door engraved with intricate patterns, and then tried pushing it with force—although Gu Wangjun felt he had the ability to force the door open (or destroy it), it was best not to do such a rude thing for the time being.

After all, the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace had just been attacked and was probably still in a state of high tension.

At this moment, Duan Xingchen noticed a recessed array beside the gate. Judging from the array's patterns, it was very likely an array specifically designed to transmit messages to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

In layman's terms, it's a doorbell.

Duan Xingchen channeled a wisp of his spiritual energy into it, and as expected, a pure white light shot upwards from the palace, clearly having reached the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace.

The problem was that after waiting for several minutes, there was still no movement inside the palace, as if the light had been swallowed up and disappeared into the sky.

"No one is answering..." Duan Xingchen pursed his lower lip and asked, "Is there any other way to contact the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace?"

"Well..."

After pondering for a while, Gu Wangjun seemed to finally decide to force a breakthrough.

It's just a door, so what if it's broken? Their purpose for coming here doesn't conflict with the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace itself. They figure that as long as they explain it properly, given the magnanimity of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, they probably won't even have to pay for the door's repair.

Of course.

Just as Gu Wangjun clenched his fists, preparing to forcefully break down the door—

A gentle male voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Gentlemen, have you come to my Blue Feather Heavenly Palace with an important matter to ask of me?"

These words were spoken as soon as they were uttered.

Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun were both startled and turned around nervously.

What they saw was a young man with a gentle smile, dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, and with an elegant demeanor.

The young man squinted and smiled, giving off a warm and welcoming feeling.

Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun both tensed up simultaneously, not for any other reason than the man before them—

It appeared without any warning.

Gu Wangjun's intuition allows him to easily detect any movement within a hundred meters, and he has also killed countless demons with the ability to conceal their presence.

In other words, very few people in the world can appear behind him so quietly.

Without any warning, it appeared out of thin air.

who is he?!

Seeing the expressions of Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the young man couldn't help but smile wryly and take a step back, indicating that he posed no threat whatsoever.

"Gentlemen, please don't be so nervous. I am also a member of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace. If you have something to discuss with the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, I can lend you a hand."

King Gu stared coldly at the man, not immediately believing his words, but instead asking:

Who are you?

"I?"

Upon hearing this, the young man smiled slightly, still keeping his eyes narrowed.

He slowly bowed, performing a particularly traditional gesture.

What followed left Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun speechless.

Because what he said... was a statement with zero probability... theoretically absolutely false!

“My name is Gu Tianren. Gu means to look around, Tian means the sky, and Ren means benevolence.”

24. You might not believe it, but they've gone invisible.

Gu Tianren?

If it were just a matter of pronunciation, that would be one thing. But when this person gave his name, he deliberately pronounced all three characters of his name clearly to Gu Wangjun and the other man.

Gu Tianren.

Isn't that the name of Empress Wu?

Looking at this man, Gu Wangjun noticed that he was handsome and refined, possessing the air of a dragon among men, and his every move revealed his extraordinary status. However, he was still quite different from Gu Tianren, the Martial Emperor who had fought on the battlefield and was the Emperor of the Universe.

To put it bluntly, the young man in the blue and white shirt in front of him did not have the same aura as Emperor Gu Tianren.

not to mention.

Gu Wangjun had seen the true form of the Martial Emperor more than once—when his teacher was teaching him body tempering, he would occasionally have the avatar of martial arts descend from the sky to personally demonstrate it.

As for why Yunping didn't demonstrate it himself, it was simply because he was too lazy to do it.

The true form of the Martial Emperor is none other than Gu Tianren, who conquered the three heavenly domains and unified the human race. His features are already etched deep in Gu Wangjun's memory. Unless his soul dissipates, he will never forget Gu Tianren's appearance in this lifetime.

Of course.

This person's appearance is not only similar, but there is almost no resemblance between him and Emperor Gu Tianren!

They are completely two different people.

"Are you joking?" Duan Xingchen subconsciously felt that the young man was talking nonsense.

The young man who called himself Gu Tianren blinked blankly, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that, young lady?"

"You can't be Gu Tianren, Gu Tianren has been dead for so long..."

"..."

The young man was immediately stunned, and pointed to himself: "Have I been dead for a long time?"

Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun: "..."

The man's demeanor and reaction appeared completely genuine, his brows furrowed with a cloud of doubt, yet he showed no sign of any sinister intent to toy with them.

After pondering for a while, he seemed to understand something and immediately said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's just a coincidence of names. You two shouldn't take it too seriously."

Same name...?

The Martial Emperor's illustrious name resounded throughout the three heavenly realms, leaving an indelible mark on history.

Anyone born in one of the three great heavenly realms would know the names of the Martial Emperor and the Literary Emperor. If that's the case, why would they give their child a name that is exactly the same as the Martial Emperor's?

In the past, this would have been considered treasonous, and judging by Gu Wangjun's common sense, no one would have done such a thing.

Seeing the lingering doubt in the eyes of King Gu and his companion, the young man could only shake his head and smile wryly. He then pointed to the palace behind them and said calmly:

"Instead of names, let's get down to business—are you two going to have a visit to my Blue Feather Heavenly Palace?"

Come to my Blue Feather Heavenly Palace
