My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Elder Nightfall's intentions were clear to Gu Lan, but he paid them little mind. Nonetheless, he decided to make the journey to the Immortal Realm for the Great Tournament of the Ten Thousand Clans. This concerned the Destiny of the Six Realms, an opportunity he could not afford to miss.

The importance of Destiny was evident in Chen Feng's experiences. Everything seemed to fall into his lap effortlessly—precious treasures, powerful allies, and now even the luxury of using a Divine Stone to send a cross-realm message. It was enviable.

Gu Lan shared his plans with his beloved wife.

"My husband, no matter what you decide, I and the Jing Nation will always stand by your side!" Mu Yuyan's eyes shone with warmth and determination, promising her full support.

Before heading to the Immortal Realm, Mu Yuyan would mobilize all the resources of the Jing Nation to prepare. This time, she intended to fight alongside Gu Lan in the Great Tournament of the Ten Thousand Clans.

After discussing their itinerary, Mu Yuyan returned to the capital city to consult with Sima Xiang on state affairs, while Gu Lan summoned Li Xiong and Masters Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei.

Lanyan Royal School was flourishing, with Zhang Qingwei spending more time there than at Jixia Academy, organizing joint activities. Upon hearing the news, he swiftly arrived at the dean's study. Li Xiong, who was secretly protecting the school, arrived even faster, while Su Hua, who was teaching, was the last to come.

Gu Lan explained the situation and emphasized the rewards of the Great Tournament.

"With the Great Tournament approaching, Jing Nation must seize this opportunity to advance further. The tournament isn't just for individuals; outstanding disciples from Lanyan Royal School can participate."

"I'll need the two Masters to select suitable disciples for the journey to the Immortal Realm. Li Xiong, you'll coordinate with the Masters to ensure everything goes smoothly."

After Gu Lan finished speaking, Li Xiong and the two scholars remained silent for a long time. They weren't worried about the dangers of the trip to the Immortal Realm; instead, they were too overjoyed to speak. From Gu Lan's words, it seemed that Lanyan Academy could select a group of disciples to ascend to the Immortal Realm, with the potential to obtain tremendous fortunes.

Such an opportunity was previously only possible when ferrymen descended to the lower realms.

Now, hearing that Gu Lan could lead people to ascend to the higher realms, and even establish a sect in the Immortal Realm, how could they not be thrilled? Even Li Xiong, who was now wealthy and powerful, couldn't remain calm upon hearing this news. He had everything—treasures, wealth, and followers.

If there was one thing he still desired, it was a reputation that would be remembered for generations.

Now, this opportunity to lead Jing Nation's cultivators to ascend to the higher realms was the perfect chance to earn that everlasting fame.

"My lord!" Li Xiong declared resolutely, "I will spare no effort and will not fail in my duties!"

"If I fail, you can have my head!"

Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei similarly vowed to do their utmost.

Gu Lan nodded, and after the three left, he instructed the masters from the immortal and demon realms who had come to the human world. These masters, uninterested in power struggles, were also disinclined to participate in the Great Tournament. Though they would miss Gu Lan, they understood the necessity of his departure.

"These insights are the results of my years of experience and study," Gu Lan said. "Over these years, you all have worked hard for Lanyan Academy, for Jing Nation, and for the Earthly Realm. Thank you for your efforts!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of books containing notes on formation techniques and artifact refining. Upon seeing these invaluable notes, the reluctance in the eyes of the masters from both the Immortal and Demon Realms instantly vanished. They looked at the books with such intense longing that it seemed they wanted to devour them with their eyes.

After each of them received a copy of the notes, they all displayed expressions of satisfaction. These insights would be enough to keep them busy for quite some time. With this gift, they readily agreed to let Gu Lan go to the Immortal Realm and promised to properly teach the disciples who remained at Lanyan Academy.

Seeing their reactions, Gu Lan nodded in satisfaction. With everything settled, he immediately left Lanyan Academy and returned to the Gu family. Before heading to the Immortal Realm, he also needed to prepare a few things for himself.

"Have you all heard? Lanyan Academy is expanding its intake of disciples again, and they're even relaxing the requirements. As long as you pass the Path of Heart Inquiry, you have a chance to become a disciple of Lanyan Academy."

"Sigh! The Path of Heart Inquiry at Lanyan Academy is the hardest. I wonder how the master of the Tianji Pavilion set up the formation. It can test a person's mind and character, which is truly incredible."

"Is it difficult? Even if it is, we must go! I heard that this time Lanyan Academy is expanding because they have positions for ascension to the upper realm. They want to recruit some outstanding disciples to ascend and increase their own foundation!"

As Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei were selecting outstanding disciples, some rumors began to spread among the surrounding kingdoms. When people heard that Lanyan Academy could allow disciples to ascend to the upper realm during daylight, many forces in the kingdoms regretted not signing their names on Lanyan Academy's stele.

Now, it was incredibly difficult for their disciples to enter Lanyan Academy to study.

In ten years, Lanyan Academy had proven to the entire Earthly Realm that its graduates were always of the highest quality. Graduates of Lanyan Academy often became stronger than other cultivators of the same rank, and they could even join other sects in their home countries, bringing the greatest benefits to their kingdoms.

With such news now circulating, how could they not regret it? This was a chance for ascension, after all!

In the depths of the Underworld, within the Mandala Arena, an old man anxiously awaited the completion of the inheritance trials.

"Why aren't they out yet?" the caretaker muttered, sipping spirit liquor.

On Totem Stone Island, activating a legacy requires both talent and fortune. To comprehend the totem legacy, one needs not only insight but also a strong mind and strength. The higher one's insight, the more legacies they can accept. The stronger one's mind and power, the longer they can endure, and the more legacies they can comprehend.

The old man looked up and saw that, apart from the flickering totem lights, there was no other movement on the dim island. Even the Back Mountain Puppet, which had always been unable to enter the gates of understanding, was now in a state of comprehending the Chaos Totem legacy. This scene astonished the old man.

He had never thought that the spiritual puppets of the Netherworld could be so advanced, capable of comprehending even the totem legacies of Feng City.

"Big guy," he mused, "do you know who your master's husband is? How could they produce such a gifted child?"

He attempted to contact the Immortal Realm's wraith king for answers.
