Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 409 407: The Empress Enters Longzhou
Long Yusheng did not think much of it, knowing that his ancestor was famous in the Divine Realm was naturally a good thing.
He looked at the three Half-step Martial Gods and said, "Now that the Ascension Gate is sealed, the only way is through the Heavenly Ascension Road or the soon-to-open Low Grade Ancient Mysterious Realm to reach the Divine Realm."
No matter the level of the Ancient Mysterious Realm, it connects all the Lower Realms and the Divine Realm. Once inside the Ancient Mysterious Realm, if one can find the passage to the Divine Realm, they can naturally go directly there.
However, without ascending through the Ascension Gate or traversing the Heavenly Ascension Road, one would not receive the blessing of the Divine Realm, and even if they did enter the Divine Realm, it would be very difficult to achieve anything significant.
Therefore, those who are confident in their own abilities return to their respective worlds to cultivate to an adequate Realm before ascending, or they traverse the Heavenly Ascension Road.
If breaking through seems hopeless, and one just happens to come across a token for the Ancient Mysterious Realm, and is lucky enough to find the passage to the Divine Realm, going directly there is indeed a good choice.
Of course, if one's luck is even better and they are noticed by a genius entering the Ancient Mysterious Realm from the Divine Realm and are taken as a follower, then going to the Divine Realm becomes even easier. They might even have the chance to receive resources for cultivation bestowed by a genius of the Divine Realm.
One of the Half-step Martial Gods furrowed his brows and said, "Entering the Ancient Mysterious Realm requires an Ancient God Token, which we do not possess. Even if we did, our true strength has already surpassed that of a Martial Emperor, and we would not be able to enter."
The other two Half-step Martial Gods nodded in agreement. Although they were only Half-step Martial Gods in Jiuzhou, their true strength had already reached that of a Martial God, which is the Divine Disciple Realm.
If they were to forcibly enter the Low Grade Ancient Mysterious Realm, they would likely be instantly eradicated. Besides, they did not have the tokens for the Ancient Mysterious Realm. Clearly, this was not a viable path.
Long Yusheng continued, "Then there is only one way left, which is to restart the Heavenly Ascension Road. But to restart the Heavenly Ascension Road, we must control the Divine Gift Seal, also known as the Imperial Jade Seal. So, if you wish to return to the Divine Realm, you must help us assassinate the Empress and support us to become the Great Emperor of Jiuzhou."
"The Heavenly Ascension Road?"

Upon hearing this, the three Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm eventually all nodded in unison.
The Blood Demon Envoy slightly frowned. He was not concerned about whether he could go to the Divine Realm or not, as his sole purpose for being created was to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon of Jiuzhou.
However, if the Empire really did have a new Guardian God, and without the help of the three Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm, even if he took all the members of the Blood Demon Hall with him, it would not be possible to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon from the hands of a Martial God.
Long Yusheng looked at the Blood Demon Envoy and smiled, "Your Excellency Blood Demon Envoy, rest assured, once the Empress is killed and we obtain the Imperial Jade Seal, helping us to become the Great Emperor of Jiuzhou, we could then harness the power of the Jiuzhou Dragon Vein to help you suppress the Empire's Guardian God. Then wouldn't rescuing the Ancient Blood Demon be as easy as flipping one's hand?"
"Good!"
The Blood Demon Envoy nodded, ultimately agreeing to Long Yusheng's plan.
Long Yusheng scanned the crowd and proclaimed loudly, "Gentlemen, originally I intended to break through to the Martial God Realm in the Ancient Mysterious Realm and then come back to fight the Empress to the death. I didn't expect the Empress to come to Longzhou herself. With such a rare opportunity before us, how can we afford to miss it? This time, we will capture them all in one fell swoop, take back the Divine Gift Seal, and take control of Jiuzhou. Naturally, your contributions will not go unrewarded."
The Dominating Blade Sect's Holy Master, the Saber Sect's Holy Master, and the Longzhou Lotus Sect's Holy Master nodded in unison. The Blood Demon Envoy and the three Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm didn't care too much, only Long Yuyan and Long Yuxiang slightly furrowed their brows.
The Divine Gift Seal was the treasure of the Long Family. Others may not care, but Long Yuyan and Long Yuxiang were also from the Long Family and naturally also desired to become the Great Emperor of Jiuzhou.
However, the main forces in both Fire State and Cloud State were currently retreating, and even the main strength had been moved to Longzhou, their existence reliant on Longzhou's support. Even though they were reluctant at heart, they dared not say more.
Seeing the two, Long Yusheng continued, "Gentlemen, at the Long Family's ancestor worship ceremony, we will receive the Ancestral Blessing. Regardless of which one of us obtains the Divine Gift Seal, after receiving the ancestor's blessing, it is possible for us to directly break through to the Martial God Realm. Therefore, we must assassinate the Empress and reclaim the Divine Gift Seal before the ceremony begins."
"Understood!"
Long Yuyan and Long Yuxiang nodded, their eyes full of longing.
If they managed to get the Divine Gift Seal and received the Ancestral Blessing, breaking through to the Martial God Realm, then Jiuzhou would be theirs.
Long Yusheng watched the expressions on their faces and sneered internally, but he maintained a calm demeanor and said indifferently, "Alright, let's discuss the specifics of our plan in detail. Tomorrow, we shall together welcome the Empress."
"Good!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
A faint smile appeared on Long Yusheng's face, showing his determination to secure the Divine Gift Seal.
With the Divine Gift Seal and the greatest blessing from the ancestor, he was confident that he could break through to the Martial God Realm.
Indeed, he had even given the Ancient Mysterious Realm token to Long Shaotian, feeling that he no longer needed it.
Whiz!
A figure appeared out of thin air, with only one arm and shrouded in Demonic Qi, he looked at Long Yusheng and called out 'big brother.'
...
On the second day, outside the Longzhou Transmission Array, Long Yusheng led the people of Longzhou into two rows and waited quietly.
Long Yuyan and Long Yuxiang from Fire State and Cloud State were now considered rebels and naturally could not appear here.
As a member of the Blood Demon Hall, the Blood Demon Envoy also could not possibly be present.
Besides them, Long Yufei also came with the guards she had brought earlier to welcome the guest.
Her gaze continuously swept over Long Yusheng and his companions, filled with vigilance and caution.
Hum!
The Transmission Array flickered with light, and a group of people emerged from it.
At the forefront was a person of incomparable grace, dressed in a Dragon Robe, the very Empress of Jiuzhou, Long Yurou.
Following her was the elderly Commander of the Royal Guards, along with two Peak Martial Emperors.
These two Peak Martial Emperors were from the Royal Guardian faction, Heavenly Sword Pavilion, specifically the Pavilion Master and Supreme Elder.
The three Peak Martial Emperors looked around guardedly, prepared against any assassination attempts.
Behind them, two Deputy Commanders at the late stage of Martial Emperor led a hundred elite Royal Guards.
Almost all of these hundred elite Royal Guards were Peak Martial Saints.
This group could be said to be the strongest martial force present in the entire Imperial City.
Long Yusheng and his companions also revealed surprise, as all the high-end martial power of the Imperial City seemed to have been moved here.
The Blood Demon Envoy lurking in the shadows had a glint in his eyes and appeared ready to make his move.
Now that the entire high-end martial power of the Imperial City had assembled here, the Imperial City itself was left vulnerable. If he could launch a surprise attack now, he would likely be unstoppable.
But he quickly frowned and suppressed the impulse in his heart.
There was still one person missing among them, the Empire's Guardian God.
As long as the Empire's Guardian God was present, even if he managed to massacre his way through the Imperial City, it would be futile.
"Quite a full gathering."
Long Yurou looked over Long Yusheng and the others, speaking in a calm tone, her gaze indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Long Yusheng smiled and said, "A bet is a bet, and since Longzhou has lost the wager, we are naturally willing to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly. Your Majesty wishes to return to Longzhou to honor the ancestors, a significant event, so we naturally have to come to welcome you personally."
"Hmm."
Long Yurou was noncommittal.
Long Yusheng continued, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a residence and a banquet to welcome you and wash the dust from your journey."
Before Long Yurou could reply, Long Yufei interjected, "That won't be necessary for the State Governor of Longzhou to trouble himself with, as I have already prepared a residence and a welcome feast for my sister. The State Governor of Longzhou is welcome to join, provided he is not afraid that I will poison him."
The corners of Long Yusheng's mouth twitched slightly; the girl's words were too direct, falling just short of openly saying that he would poison the Empress.
"Let's go."
Long Yurou glanced at Long Yusheng and left under Long Yufei's leadership.
Long Yusheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression gradually turned cold as he did not follow.
The relationship between Longzhou and Central State was not that good, and he was at odds with the Empress. Forcing himself to follow would only raise the Empress's suspicions. If that were to spook the target, it would not be good.
