MTL NOVEL Chapter 53
Chapter 53: The Empress’s Dream
The heavenly star obscured the clouds and the sun, casting a huge shadow that completely covered the Red Dust Chariot.
Lian Hanxing looked up at the sky, dumbfounded, her expression management completely out of control.
Zhou Tong had actually pulled down a meteor from outside the heavens; what kind of means was that?
“Boom!”
The heavenly star charged straight in, crashing onto the thunder calamity. One could see vast ripples surging through the air, tearing apart everything in its path.
After a long while, the clouds scattered, the calamity disappeared, and the clear sky stretched for thousands of miles, with only Zhou Tong standing in the heavens, like a god.
…
In the Heavenly Dao Domain, within the Soaring Empire’s imperial family.
A woman suddenly woke up from her sleep, her sweat soaking her long robe.
“Your Majesty!”
The night watch guard rushed in, looking concerned as he asked.
“It’s nothing, I just had a nightmare again. You all can go out.”
The woman rose, discarding her golden nightgown, revealing her long and curvaceous body.
“How many times has it been? I had the same dream again!”
This person was Qian Miaoyu, the supreme empress of the Soaring Empire, and the most talented monarch in the history of the empire.
Ten thousand years ago, the empire had just been established, only able to maintain a small territory. However, after twenty-six generations of diligent rulers, they finally unified the entire Heavenly Dao Domain under this generation.
The reason it went so smoothly was that Qian Miaoyu formed an alliance with the Heavenly Dao Mansion, hiring its sect leader Zhao Wutian as the Grand Preceptor, which vastly widened the gap with enemy nations.
Now, the Heavenly Dao Mansion was the largest sect in the Soaring Empire, and the Heavenly Dao Domain was named as such because of it.
A cold wind blew in, evaporating the sweat and causing the hairs on her delicate body to stand on end.
“So cold!”
Qian Miaoyu shivered and then sat down on the bed, wrapping herself tightly in a blanket as if it were a shell that could ward off danger.
She was about to become insomniac, constantly recalling that dream in her mind.
It was unknown when this dream started; it clung to her like a maggot, becoming clearer each time.
In the dream, countless strong warriors came madly, wanting to destroy the empire and the Heavenly Dao Mansion.
To survive, she teamed up with the strong warriors of the Heavenly Dao Mansion to resist the many enemies.
That battle was exceedingly brutal, with the imperial capital shattered, and the Heavenly Dao Mansion uprooted, yet they never gave up, fighting to the point of rivers of blood, not falling into the disadvantage.
However, just when it reached a stalemate, the heavenly light suddenly exploded, and a golden youth came on the wind, surveying the world, as if stepping on everyone beneath him.
The youth was shrouded in mist, with only a vague outline and a pair of imposing, bright eyes that left a deep impression on her.
With just a wave of his hand, he pulled down a flying star from the heavens and launched a devastating strike against the strong warriors of the Heavenly Dao Mansion and the empire!
Every time she dreamed of this, she would be awakened by intense emotions, unable to control her fear.
Death felt so real, sometimes making it hard for her to distinguish between dream and reality.
Qian Miaoyu was also a cultivator, even a rare genius; she knew this dream was not without basis, certainly reflecting some kind of cause and effect.
“Come, bring the Grand Preceptor here, just tell him I have important matters to discuss.”
Qian Miaoyu decisively sought a solution.
However, as soon as she spoke, a familiar voice came from outside.
“Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor requests an audience.”
The empress froze for a moment before replying, “Let him in!”
“I bow to Your Majesty!”
Zhao Wutian appeared in the hall, looking as elegant as a scholar, showing not a trace of madness or malice.
“What a coincidence; I was just about to summon you, yet the Grand Preceptor has come voluntarily.”
Qian Miaoyu sat upright, both graceful and noble: “May I ask why the Grand Preceptor has come at this late hour?”
“Just a small matter; does Your Majesty know about the auction in five days?”
“Naturally, it’s hosted by you personally, right? Have you encountered difficulties? Speak up; I will help you solve it…”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. It’s not really a difficulty; it’s just that to ensure the auction goes smoothly, I intended to find a powerful assistant to provide protection and specially came to seek Your Majesty’s guidance.”
He took out a communication jade amulet and crushed it directly in front of Qian Miaoyu.
“Your Majesty, please look.”
White smoke rose, and an image suddenly appeared, revealing the face of a woman.
Seeing this person, Qian Miaoyu remained calm on the surface, but her heart raced.
She had never met this woman in reality but could call out her name.
“Jade Purity Sect, Mo Liushu…”
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zhao Wutian but even Mo Liushu in the image was momentarily taken aback.
“Why does Your Majesty know me?”
“You might not believe it; I have met you a few times in my dreams, leaving a deep impression.”
“Hehe… Your Majesty really knows how to joke.”
Qian Miaoyu subtly tightened her fist, her voice gradually turning cold.
“Alright… You, a renowned figure, have gone to great lengths to contact me; what is the reason behind it?”
Mo Liushu was not a fool; she clearly heard the displeasure in Qian Miaoyu’s tone and wondered when she had offended her.
But thinking of her goal, she spoke up: “I represent the Jade Purity Sect and hope to ally with the Soaring Empire, sharing trials and tribulations in the future and never betraying; for this, I plan to personally meet Your Majesty in a few days, hoping to present a generous gift to show sincerity!”
Qian Miaoyu’s brows furrowed deeper; under normal circumstances, she would have directly accepted such an olive branch from a powerful faction. However, due to that dream, her impression of Mo Liushu was not great.
“Grand Preceptor, what do you think?”
“This is certainly a good thing.” Zhao Wutian replied without hesitation.
As a power holder of a major sect, he had already been in contact with Mo Liushu.
Today, Mo Liushu had proactively approached him, claiming she wanted to discuss a collaboration with him.
Upon learning the content of the collaboration, Zhao Wutian agreed immediately without a second thought.
Mo Liushu actually wanted to join forces with him to jointly exterminate the Joyful Union Sect; wasn’t this exactly what he wanted?
“Since the Grand Preceptor has said so, then I have no objections.”
Qian Miaoyu’s tone became somewhat gentler. After all, a dream was just a dream; as an emperor, she could not give up a powerful ally because of something inscrutable.
“Your Majesty, I have one more request.”
Mo Liushu, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, seized the opportunity to propose her request.
“Speak!”
“A few days ago, I heard that the people of the Joyful Union Sect were preparing to come to the Soaring Empire. My Jade Purity Sect has an irreconcilable feud with them, so I hope Your Majesty can help us monitor those few people in advance so that we can deal with them together when we arrive.”
This is easy; do you have portraits of those people?
“Of course!”
Mo Liushu waved her hand in the air, and three stunning faces appeared.
They were Mu Ran Ya, Long Lingyun, and Little Demoness.
“A group of beauties, what a pity.”
“These three can be disposed of at will by Your Majesty and the Grand Preceptor, but for the next person, I hope Your Majesty must protect him well. He can be injured but must not lose his life!”
Immediately, Zhou Tong’s face appeared in the image.
Seeing him, Qian Miaoyu’s entire body tensed up!
