Chapter 337 Empress Wu Zhou

Zhou Yongcheng turned his attention elsewhere, wanting to see what changes had occurred during this period between the Song and Ming dynasties.

There haven't been any major changes in the two dynasties yet, after all, the time period is too short. They haven't had the imperial seal for very long, and it will take at least a few years for the two dynasties to undergo any major changes.

Turning his gaze away, Zhou Yongcheng looked across the river of time, focusing on the Tang Dynasty period.

There was a Zhou dynasty in the middle of the Tang dynasty, and he was wondering whether to give Empress Wu Zetian a chance.

Throughout history, she was the only woman to truly ascend to the throne. Female emperors are extremely rare. Well, we can give her a chance. Zhou Yongcheng also wants to see how Wu Zetian's fate will unfold once she gets a golden touch.

Zhou Yongcheng opened a time portal when Wu Zetian had just ascended the throne, and then he opened another time portal shortly after Li Yuan became emperor.

Inside the Time-Space Pavilion, two Time-Space Gates appeared beside the pavilion, bringing the total number of Time-Space Gates in the pavilion to four.

Inside the Time-Space Pavilion, Old Zhu and Old Zhao were chatting when they noticed two new Time-Space Gates beside the pavilion.

"Two portals to different times and spaces—I wonder which dynasty's emperor obtained this divine favor," Old Zhao said.

"I would venture a guess that it could be an emperor from the Tang or Sui dynasties."

Old Zhao nodded, agreeing with Old Zhu's guess.

At that moment, a woman dressed in a dragon robe fell from the portal into the time pavilion.

Judging from her appearance, it seemed as if she had accidentally passed through a portal to another time and space and arrived at the Time Pavilion.

Old Zhu and Old Zhao were somewhat surprised to see the woman wearing a dragon robe. In history, there was only one female emperor, Wu Zetian, so this female emperor must undoubtedly be Wu Zetian.

The empress was none other than Wu Zetian. She was somewhat flustered at this moment. She was pacing around the palace, pondering a problem, when a mysterious portal appeared. She had no time to dodge and entered the mysterious portal.

The Empress looked around and saw two men. Their clothes were a bit strange, but she could recognize the golden dragons embroidered on them. They were wearing dragon robes that only emperors could wear, but the style and color of the robes were rather odd.

Zhu and Zhao bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty met Empress Zhou."

"Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty has met Empress Zhou."

Wu Zetian was stunned upon hearing this. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? The Emperor of the Song Dynasty? Did these two dynasties even exist in this world?

Are they emperors from another world? Is that mysterious portal that suddenly appeared a gateway to another world?

But she had another question in her mind: how did they know that she was the emperor of the Great Zhou?

Without time to think, she returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, Emperor Ming and Emperor Song. May I ask how you two knew my identity?"

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, a person came out from another portal.

When Wu Zetian saw the person who had arrived, a look of shock appeared on her face.

When Lao Zhu and Lao Zhao saw the newcomers, they both looked at Wu Zetian.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, the empress of the Zhou Dynasty.

Who knows what will happen when these two meet?

Seeing Li Yuan reminded Wu Zetian of her childhood. She had seen Li Yuan when she was very young, and he looked much like she did now.

Li Yuan looked at Wu Zetian and the others. He hadn't expected that the mysterious portal led to such a place, and that the people there all seemed to be wearing dragon robes.

He was discussing matters with his ministers in his office when suddenly a mysterious portal appeared in the middle of his office.

There were other people in his office at the time, and the mysterious portal happened to land on one person. No one else present saw the mysterious portal except for him.

So he stopped discussing the matter, kicked the person out of the office, and came here through the mysterious portal.

"Gentlemen, where is this place?" Li Yuan asked.

"This is the Daoist temple of immortals. The fact that we can meet here is due to the power of immortals. The portal you passed through is called the Gate of Time and Space..." Old Zhu explained the basic situation of the Daoist temple to Li Yuan and Wu Zetian.

Li Yuan and Wu Zetian spoke, and all their doubts vanished. It was the work of immortals; no wonder only they could see that portal.

As they talked, Li Yuan and Wu Zetian learned that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Ziyang were actually emperors of later dynasties, which explained why they had never heard of the Ming and Song dynasties.

"Since you are all emperors of later dynasties, may I ask how long my Great Tang Dynasty has lasted?" Li Yuan inquired.

"Emperor Tang, Emperor Zhou, now that we have arrived at the immortal's abode, we should first pay our respects to the immortal. We can discuss anything else after we have paid our respects to the immortal, shall we?" Old Zhu said.

"As it should be."

Neither Li Yuan nor Wu Zetian refused. Since the immortals had descended the gate of time and space to bring them here, they must first pay their respects to the immortals.

Immortals are legendary beings. Even if they possess martial arts skills and have peerless experts in the court, they are still countless realms away from becoming immortals.

Li Yuan and Wu Zetian were quite excited to meet the legendary immortals.

With great excitement, they followed Old Zhu and Old Zhao toward the pavilion where the immortal was.

As they stepped out of the Time-Space Pavilion, they were also captivated by the environment of the immortal's place. The courtyard was filled with various immortal herbs and divine trees, none of which they had ever seen before.

They soon arrived at the pavilion where Zhou Yongcheng was.

"I have seen the immortal."

The four men bowed to Zhou Yongcheng.

"No need for formalities. I've brought you here for no other reason than to let you know your destiny so that you can change some things. If you want to know anything, you can ask Zhu Yuanzhang and the others. They are quite familiar with your dynasty."

After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and two jade seals appeared in front of Li Yuan and Wu Zetian.

"This jade seal is an opportunity I'm giving you. You can ask Zhu Yuanzhang and the others about its purpose."

After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, he waved and saw them out of the pavilion. He didn't have much to talk about with them.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others only felt a shift in time and space before they found themselves in the Time-Space Pavilion.

Despite knowing that the immortals possessed extraordinary abilities, they were still shocked.

They envied the immortals' abilities, which allowed people to disappear with a wave of their hand. If they had such abilities, controlling the dynasty would be a piece of cake.

"The methods of immortals are unpredictable and beyond the comprehension of us mortals," Li Yuan sighed.

"These are all minor tricks, nothing compared to the opportunities you've gained..." Zhu Yuanzhang then transformed into an explainer, instructing Li Yuan and Wu Zetian on how to use the imperial seal.

Li Yuan and Wu Zetian soon learned the purpose of the imperial seal.

The imperial seal can store the nation's fortune and contains an exchange panel with a vast array of items—anything you can imagine, you can find.

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Li Yuan and Wu Zetian recognized the jade seal as their own and then began to examine the exchange panel inside the jade seal.

After thoroughly understanding the imperial seal, Li Yuan consulted with Zhu Yuanzhang and others to learn about the Tang Dynasty he had founded.
