My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"To achieve such results on the first day of the elimination round, the future of Lanyan Royal School is boundless!"

Countless people stared at the elimination round rankings, imprinting the name Lanyan Royal School deeply in their minds.

During the preliminary rounds, many had already noticed Lanyan Royal School. They thought that achieving such results for an Earthly Realm force was impressive. Yet, in the elimination round, Lanyan Royal School's performance was even more remarkable, rivaling the Immortal Realm's Seven Great Houses.

This kind of strength suggested that the Lanyan Royal School disciples might not have shown their full capabilities during the preliminaries. The fact that they had such formidable talents, hidden potential, and were capable of instructing so many brilliant disciples indicated that their leader was certainly not an ordinary figure.

Many grew increasingly curious about the Earthly Realm Ruler behind Lanyan Royal School. They knew that this could soon become a force with the potential to surpass the Immortal Realm's Seven Great Houses.

"Lanyan Royal School... what a remarkable name."

Among the various forces, a woman in a black robe murmured as she looked at the elimination round rankings. Not seeing the person she hoped for among the Lanyan Royal School disciples, she turned and left.

Soon after her departure, powerful auras descended upon the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm.

New Immortal Realm forces began to arrive.

These forces had previously ranked in the top one hundred of the Great Competition of All Clans and had divided some of the Six Realms' Destiny among themselves. Their overall strength was increasing daily.

Therefore, they could participate in the elimination round.

With their arrival, the Great Competition of All Clans became even more lively.

"Sigh!"

"I thought that avoiding the Immortal Realm's Seven Great Houses would make the subsequent elimination rounds easier, but now these powerful forces have entered."

"The upcoming elimination rounds will still be thrilling and dangerous!"

Various forces reacted with mixed feelings. Some were joyful, others despondent. Forces that had successfully advanced to the elimination rounds were beaming with smiles, while those that had been eliminated were downcast. Those who had not yet participated in the elimination rounds wore worried expressions.

Only those who had bet on Lanyan Royal School in the gambling houses were truly delighted. The remarkable performance of Lanyan Royal School had made them a fortune.

This Lower Realm force had turned the Great Competition of All Clans on its head, leaving everyone uncertain about the future direction of the competition.

Many Earthly Realm Realm Rulers, who had given up hope, were now inspired by Lanyan Royal School's success. They were determined to make one last effort to avoid regret and ensure their disciples did not miss out.

"Rule analysis, evolution of all things!"

Within the sect's retreat, Gu Lan was surrounded by a myriad of Righteous Qi swords.

With a thought, the individual swords converged into a single Righteous Qi long sword, becoming solid and tangible in his grasp.

"With my current understanding, this is the best I can achieve."

"To fully master the Rule of the Sword, I will need to undergo further closed-door training, but not at this moment."

Gu Lan put away the Righteous Qi long sword and stored it in his system warehouse. He planned to refine it into the Hongmeng Sword in a few days to further enhance its quality.

At this moment, he noticed several letters outside the retreat.

Summoning the letters to him, Gu Lan's consciousness quickly scanned their contents.

Most of the letters were from the Lanyan Royal School disciples, reporting their final results in the elimination round. A few letters were from Demon Realm and Immortal Realm forces.

This time, the Demon Realm had sent few forces to participate in the Great Competition of All Clans. With the Demon Realm focused on dealing with extraterrestrial entities, they could not spare more manpower for the competition.

Currently, Feng Yang Emperor and Demon King of No Start were in the Demon Realm, preparing to recruit the Demon God of the Demon Realm to join the Immortal Demon Alliance.

They were also too busy to participate in the Great Competition of All Clans and had sent letters to Gu Lan, requesting him to look after the disciples from Feng Yang Immortal Domain and the Demon Clan of No Start during the finals.

As one of the founders of the Immortal Demon Alliance, Gu Lan could naturally assist in this small matter while Feng Yang Emperor and Demon King of No Start were busy.

There were also two more letters—one from Bull Demon Clan expressing thanks and another from Shangguan Yuyang, the head of Yin God Palace.

Bull Demon Clan, having sent only non-elite disciples, was defeated and wiped out by Beast Clan in the Tower of Beast. Since Lanyan Royal School's disciples defeated Beast Clan, Bull Demon Clan expressed gratitude and promised to put forth their best efforts in the revival matches of the elimination round.

Shangguan Yuyang's letter was brief, congratulating Lanyan Royal School on their achievements and stating that Yin God Palace's old disciples had qualified for the finals. However, she did not clarify the role of Yin God Palace in the Great Competition of All Clans.

After reading all the letters, Gu Lan left the retreat.

Outside, Mu Yuyan was counting spirit stones.

Lanyan Royal School's outstanding performance had earned her a substantial amount of spirit stones.

These spirit stones would be more than enough to build a sect.

Seeing Gu Lan emerge from his retreat, Mu Yuyan recounted the recent events.

"Darling, in the past few days, Earthly Realm's Realm Rulers have been inquiring about your whereabouts."

"That Qin Huangmo is quite commendable. Despite pressure and temptation from various forces, he has not disclosed your location. He's someone worth befriending."

"Now, those Earthly Realm Realm Rulers are still not giving up. They want to form a Human Realm Alliance and are planning to elect a leader for it."

"And their top candidate is you, Darling."

Hearing Mu Yuyan's words, Gu Lan smiled and shook his head.

He had no time to be an alliance leader.

Though the Earthly Realm was part of the Three Thousand Human Worlds, there was no connection between the realms. With differing goals and lack of unity, such an alliance was doomed to fail.

"Lanyan Royal School has already garnered enough attention and made a significant impact."

"If the Earthly Realm's Realm Rulers want to stir up trouble, let them. We won't get involved in this mess."

Gu Lan's thoughts were clear, and Mu Yuyan agreed with his view.

The couple, sharing the same perspective, left the retreat together.

Outside the inn, Li Xiong was briefing the Lanyan Royal School disciples on the preparations for the finals.

With their excellent performance in the elimination rounds, all Lanyan Royal School disciples were qualified for the finals. They no longer needed to participate in the remaining elimination and revival rounds.

The disciples' spirits had been uplifted. Although their cultivation levels had not increased, their confidence and self-recognition had greatly improved after facing numerous strong opponents.

At this moment, they finally possessed the fervor and confidence of young geniuses.
