My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"In the scope of our abilities, God's Reign Sect will certainly ease the burdens of fellow Daoists! We only hope that when you rise to prominence in the future, you won't forget the assistance God's Reign Sect provided today." Before the discussion began, the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect directly expressed his intentions, clearly stating that he saw potential in Gu Lan and Lanyan Royal School. He believed that Gu Lan's future achievements were limitless and proposed forming an alliance with Lanyan Royal School to support each other. Faced with such a request, Gu Lan naturally had no reason to refuse and readily agreed. God's Reign Sect governed the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm and possessed numerous treasures and secret realms within the sect. Once Lanyan Royal School established itself in Immortal Realm, its disciples could come here for training and access resources, significantly accelerating their growth. Seeing Gu Lan agree so readily, the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect was also very pleased. Forming an alliance with a sect of great potential was beneficial to God's Reign Sect. Moreover, his admiration for Gu Lan led him to share his insights on cultivation after entering the Divine Realm without holding back. Most of these insights were his own, while others were left behind by former Divine Realm experts of God's Reign Sect. Insights into the Divine Realm, and the myriad rules, were endlessly complex. Hearing more of them might spark new ideas. Although Gu Lan's cultivation and understanding of the rules far exceeded those of the Sect Master, and his comprehension was on a level the other could not reach, God's Reign Sect's long history and their unique insights into the light and dark rules provided Gu Lan with some inspiration. Time flies in cultivation. As they sat discussing the Dao, the time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the moon had risen high in the sky. Above God's Reign Mountain, the bright moon hung in the sky. "The Great Competition of All Clans may seem fair, but it has long been dominated by the seven great houses of the Immortal Realm. For the rest of us, hoping to change our fates through it is like climbing to heaven!" The Sect Master of God's Reign Sect flew into the clouds, gazing out at the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm. Gu Lan followed closely behind. The two continued their discussion in the moonlit sky above the clouds. During this discussion, the Sect Master's appreciation for Gu Lan grew even further. "Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard a widely circulated saying in the Six Realms?" "My cultivation is still shallow, and my knowledge of the Six Realms is limited. Please feel free to enlighten me, Daoist." Seeing Gu Lan's humility, the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect did not hold back. With a wave of his hand, the clouds parted, and ancient characters appeared in the air, constantly shifting and forming an ancient text: "Human Dao is faint, Immortal Dao is vast! Demon Dao is obsessive, Devil Dao is mad! Ghost Dao is joyous, God Dao is grand!" These ancient characters were naturally recognized by Gu Lan. The Immortal Realm now used this type of script, and before coming to Immortal Realm, Gu Lan had already learned all the various scripts of the Immortal Realm. After all, having made enemies with the Bright Temple, understanding the records of the Bright Clan was essential, and knowing the script of the Immortal Realm was crucial. However, though he recognized these ancient characters and could understand their meaning, Gu Lan did not know the significance of the Sect Master revealing these three phrases. He looked at the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect, hoping the other would provide an explanation. "Mr. Gu, it's not that I'm trying to emulate the Buddhists' cryptic speech. It's just that the current Dao of the Six Realms is shrouded in dark clouds, and only by breaking through these clouds can we glimpse the true Dao!" The Sect Master's expression became serious as he stared intently at Gu Lan. He had secretly investigated Lanyan Royal School, as well as Gu Lan himself. During their discussion, he received a secret message, revealing that Gu Lan was one of the founders of the current Immortal Demon Alliance. The Immortal Demon Alliance had been making waves in both the Immortal and Demon Realms, attracting the attention of those in the Six Realms who were aware. The Sect Master of God's Reign Sect was one of them. Over the years, he had been quietly uniting various forces while gathering evidence of the seven great houses of the Immortal Realm abusing their power, all to topple these houses and restore the Xiantian World to its former glory. Even this time, providing the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm as the venue for the Great Competition of All Clans without conditions was part of God's Reign Sect's plan to obscure their true intentions and ally with emerging forces. Lanyan Royal School was a key target for alliance. "Do you understand what I'm implying, Mr. Gu?" The Sect Master's gaze was meaningful as he continued to watch Gu Lan. And how could Gu Lan not understand? It turns out that the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect was a fellow comrade! They were allies! Given the strength of God's Reign Sect and the Bright Clan, there was no need for such probing. As long as God's Reign Sect wasn't allied with the Bright Clan, they could indeed be allies. Naturally, Gu Lan was delighted. As the nominal founder of the Immortal Demon Alliance, he could finally play his part today. With God's Reign Sect joining forces and the other factions behind them, Lanyan Royal School would find its future dealings in the Immortal Realm much smoother. "God's Reign Sect and Lanyan Royal School shall be allies from now on!" Gu Lan said with a smile. As soon as these words were spoken, the Sect Master of God's Reign Sect also smiled. The two exchanged glances, and the Sect Master brought out two jugs of fine wine, handing one to Gu Lan. "To the day when the cultivators of the Six Realms can dispel the clouds and see the light of heaven!" "To that day!" They drank heartily, laughing in joy. ... The finals of the Great Competition of All Clans officially began. Forces from all sides entered the arena, with even the seven great houses of the Immortal Realm and the Twelve Temples sending their Divine Realm experts to oversee the event. There was a subtle tension in the air, hinting at potential clashes behind the scenes. As the finals began, the rules changed once again. Combining the rules of the preliminaries and the elimination rounds, the finals started with individual matches. After deciding the top 100 in the individual matches, the team competition would follow. The team competition would determine the top ten of the Great Competition of All Clans. Finally, the leaders of each faction would step forward, with their realms suppressed to the peak of the Saint Stage. They would rely solely on their skills and divine abilities, competing in a chaotic battle to determine the first place and the top ten rankings. On the first day of the finals, a disciple from Lanyan Royal School was scheduled to compete. However, no one was worried because the one taking the stage was Ye Fan. Ever since Ye Fan single-handedly took on and wiped out the entire Beast Clan team, his legend had spread throughout the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm. Even Chen Fan and Xiao Yan had to admire him because they knew defeating the entire Beast Clan team alone was no easy feat. "Ye Fan! Good luck!" As Ye Fan prepared to take the stage, a female disciple from Lanyan Royal School loudly cheered for him. Faced with such enthusiasm from his junior sister, Ye Fan's honest face flushed slightly. He smiled bashfully, too shy to look at the cheering junior sister, and instead scratched his head awkwardly at his opponent. "Lanyan Royal School's Ye Fan, please guide me!" As the match began, his opponent, who had also heard of Ye Fan's reputation and was a top disciple of their sect, unleashed their divine abilities without holding back.
