Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 1638: Chapter 437 Gu Chen Falls_2

Therefore, Wu Tian couldn’t help but cast a glance at Pei Yi, feeling that this was all his fault.

Pei Yi noticed the look and furrowed his brows, though he chose not to argue with Wu Tian about it.

At this moment, the Female Emperor, Gu Qingyan, turned her gaze to Xia Zu and said, “From this day forward, you shall be the fourth Supreme Ruler of my Eternal Imperial Court. The Imperial Treasury contains a multitude of divine materials of the highest order. Should you require anything to forge a Dao Weapon, feel free to exchange what you need.”

“Xia Zu thanks you.” Xia Zu rose to his feet and cupped his fists in a respectful gesture.

After all, although Gu Qingyan was technically his junior, she now reigned as the Female Emperor of the Eternal Imperial Court, commanding the authority of the court and even the myriad realms. Naturally, Xia Zu would not neglect the necessary formalities.

As a former mortal emperor, Xia Zu understood well that personal relations are one thing, but when in the presence of many, it was impossible to act as casually as usual.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel at the immense wealth of the Eternal Imperial Court. A Dao Weapon crafted specifically for oneself could provide an unparalleled boost to a Supreme Being—even akin to having a second life.

With matters thus settled, Gu Qingyan dismissed them.

“Elder Brother, after so many years of seclusion, how are you faring now?”

Once everyone had left, Gu Qingyan’s enchanting gaze shifted toward the outer heavens, her expression betraying a trace of deeply buried concern.
