Chapter 416: Afraid She'll Feel Left Out
"Come in!"
At this moment, Gu Lan's voice came from deep within Lanyan Royal School.
Immediately, Chen Feng's massive figure at the entrance transformed into a streak of light and shot deep into the Royal School, disappearing from view.
"That figure just now was just a transmission?"
It was only then that the Royal School disciples realized what had just happened, their eyes widening in astonishment. They never would have imagined that a mere transmission could create such a commotion.
Not only did they fail to anticipate it, but Gu Lan himself was also surprised that Chen Feng chose this moment to send a message, and in such a dramatic fashion.
"To send a message directly from Immortal Realm to the mortal world like this, it must have cost at least one Divine Stone."
"Looks like Chen Feng has been doing well in Immortal Realm. He hasn't let me down," Gu Lan thought, smiling to himself as he held Chen Feng's transmission.
If Chen Feng had not been doing well, being a supporting character could be quite risky. However, with their previous master-disciple contract, Gu Lan had no such worries anymore.
The better Chen Feng did, the stronger the Destiny enhancement for Gu Lan!
In fact, over the past ten years, Gu Lan's cultivation progress might not have matched what this young man has contributed.
That's the advantage of having a supporting character with special perks!
Gu Lan suddenly felt that not being the protagonist wasn't so bad after all.
Meanwhile, Mu Yuyan looked at the transmission with curiosity. She had some impression of Gu Lan's named disciple. The dramatic display of Chen Feng's transmission indeed showed a bit of his character as someone who often shows off.
Mu Yuyan had always been interested in Immortal Realm affairs. Not only because she had inherited the Snow Clan's saintess legacy, but also because of the rumored collusion between Immortal Realm's Light Clan and Bright Temple with extraterrestrial entities, which could threaten the mortal world and Jing Nation's safety.
This was something Mu Yuyan could not allow.
Over the years, besides state affairs, she had never slackened in her cultivation, not wanting to lag behind her husband too much or leave him to face the pressures from Immortal Realm and extraterrestrial entities alone.
"Come, my dear, let's read it together," Gu Lan said with a smile, seeing Mu Yuyan's curiosity.
"Master!"
"It's been a long time, and I miss you so much!"
Gu Lan: "…"
At the beginning of the letter, Chen Feng expressed his longing for Gu Lan and detailed his struggles and progress in various Immortal Realm secret realms, mentioning how his sword intent had improved significantly.
The Empress glanced at her husband with a hint of peculiarity.
Gu Lan cleared his throat and chose to ignore these sentimental parts, directly focusing on the critical content:
"Master! The Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition in Immortal Realm is about to begin!"
"This is a grand event jointly organized by the Seven Clans of Immortal Realm. All races from the Six Realms will participate. I would like to invite you to witness the event and see how I perform!"
This was the main reason Chen Feng sent the message from Immortal Realm.
He was able to send this message because he had obtained permission from Elder Nightfall.
At the end of the letter, Elder Nightfall had left a note:
"Dear friend, the Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition is a rare event. Please make sure to come to Immortal Realm. The Temple of Destiny will definitely welcome you."
"This competition allows cultivators under a hundred years old to represent their sects or clans. Those who place in the top hundred will receive a piece of sect territory in Immortal Realm."
"Additionally, young cultivators participating in the competition can receive rewards such as cultivation techniques and magical treasures, including rare treasures and celestial materials that can alter one's bloodline and physique…"
After reading the letter, Gu Lan was not particularly interested in the Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition.
The rewards, besides the Immortal Realm sect territory which had some appeal, were otherwise unremarkable.
Gu Lan's system warehouse was already nearly full with cultivation techniques and treasures.
As for rare celestial materials and treasures that alter one's physique, he had plenty of those too.
As for whether to go to Immortal Realm or not, Gu Lan was still uncertain.
He had previously killed a Bright Temple venerated being in Immortal Realm and an angel cultivated by the Light Clan in Demon Realm, so he had a deep enmity with Immortal Realm's Light Clan.
Although they might not know his true strength or have taken obvious retaliatory actions yet, Gu Lan was still wary.

Such villains who refrain from immediate retaliation are usually hiding great moves and plotting in the dark.
If he went to Immortal Realm and accidentally exposed their schemes, would it trigger an early confrontation?
Gu Lan felt the timing wasn't quite right yet. He needed more time to develop, ideally reaching the peak of the Divine Realm.
However, this was just Gu Lan's personal opinion. He wanted to hear Mu Yuyan's thoughts as well.
"My dear, what do you think?"
Mu Yuyan pondered for a moment before speaking: "My husband, I think this is an opportunity."
"With the grand formation you've set up in the mortal world, while the spiritual energy is growing, it's still too slow compared to Immortal Realm. We're still many years away from catching up, let alone surpassing Immortal Realm."
"If we can obtain a sect territory in Immortal Realm through this competition, we can use it as a stepping stone to develop and strengthen ourselves!"
As she spoke, Mu Yuyan gazed at the sky with a commanding presence, displaying her imperial demeanor.
Gu Lan was somewhat swayed by her words.
Although it wouldn't affect his cultivation in the mortal world, his wife's cultivation would still face limitations.
Even though he worked hard every day, it still couldn't match the advantages of Immortal Realm.
And even talented cultivators from Jing Nation and Lanyan Royal School couldn't compare to Immortal Realm cultivators in terms of cultivation environment.
Gu Lan began to seriously consider going to Immortal Realm.
At this moment, the half piece of Yin Spirit Jade Pendant at his waist suddenly glowed.
"Hm!"
Mu Yuyan immediately noticed.
Another transmission!
This time from Shangguan Yuyang.
Gu Lan promptly picked up the Yin Spirit Jade Pendant and opened it openly.
"This is a message from Master Shangguan," Mu Yuyan said, blinking and looking at Gu Lan.
"Let's read it together!" Gu Lan tightened his embrace around the Empress, determinedly displaying the transmission content to her.
The letter briefly explained Shangguan Yuyang's ten-year search in Demon Realm, Underworld, and other small worlds for people from the old Yin God Palace.
Having traversed many small worlds, she finally found those old members of Yin God Palace.
With the Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition approaching, she planned to reestablish the sect to participate and revive Yin God Palace in Immortal Realm, seeking the truth from the past.
The letter also mentioned that the Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition is held on a grand scale every thousand years in Immortal Realm.
It's a means for the Seven Clans of Immortal Realm to reorder themselves and to divide the Destiny of the three thousand worlds.
This is why Immortal Realm's power always surpasses that of other worlds.
Any faction that ranks in the competition can receive a Destiny enhancement and rise in power.
At the end of the letter, Shangguan Yuyang emphasized that Gu Lan should make sure to participate in this Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition.
"Master Shangguan is quite admirable!"
After reading the letter, Mu Yuyan commented, her opinion of Shangguan improving.
Gu Lan agreed.
He hadn't expected that the Ten Thousand Races Grand Competition would involve a struggle for Destiny.
No wonder Elder Nightfall tried so hard to get Chen Feng involved; it must be for this competition.
That old fox…
What do you think?
