My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 527: Qin Huangmo Arrives
For Gu Lan, it wouldn't take him hundreds of years, just a few decades would suffice. He was on the verge of breaking through to the Main God Realm, and after the breakthrough, his cultivation would experience an explosive increase. After all, he had been stuck in the Supreme Realm for the longest time.
On Tianqiong Mountain, the Great Dao Ceremony continued. After the Dragon Sovereign took the stage and lectured on the Dao, many people gained new insights. However, they were still no match for the Dragon Sovereign, who could directly break through on the spot. Even the nine-tailed celestial fox felt as if he was just a step away from a breakthrough.
Though he was inwardly dissatisfied, he wasn't overly fixated on it. The Dragon Sovereign had always been stronger than him, something he had long accepted. As for Gu Lan, well, he was a monster, incomparable.
"Next, please welcome the City Lord of Demon God City!"
After the Dragon Sovereign finished his lecture, the host of the hall announced the next speaker. When it was the nine-tailed celestial fox's turn, with the Dragon Sovereign setting such a high standard, he was determined not to lose face. Standing in the center of the Dao venue, the nine-tailed celestial fox shared his cultivation insights generously, holding nothing back.
After all, the techniques he cultivated required the nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline, so even if others knew his insights, they couldn't practice them. Compared to what Gu Lan and the Dragon Sovereign had shared earlier, his insights weren't much.
While the nine-tailed celestial fox was speaking in the center, Gu Lan suddenly sensed someone attacking the Boundary Protection Array again. However, this attack was different from the previous ones. Previously, the Thunder Clan and others attempting to enter the Earthly Realm had used the Realm Breaker Talisman to break through the array's defenses, the most efficient method.
After all, the Boundary Protection Array guarded the entire Earthly Realm, and though Gu Lan could tap into its power, he wasn't willing to use it just for a few insignificant attackers. Activating the array consumed massive resources, and Gu Lan was reluctant to waste them.
"Just dealt with one batch, and now here comes another. It never ends!"
Sensing the assault on the Boundary Protection Array, Gu Lan frowned slightly, feeling increasingly irritated. At that moment, his Three Clarity Incarnations were busy handling the Imperial Realm independent cultivators who had accepted the bounty missions, leaving him no time to deal with this new intrusion.
From what Gu Lan sensed, this attack was strong, likely from a high-tier Imperial Realm expert. In the Earthly Realm, aside from Gu Lan, there was essentially no one capable of handling such a threat. Left with no choice, Gu Lan decided to deal with it personally. Fortunately, the Great Dao Ceremony was well underway and didn't necessarily require his presence.
"I'm curious to see who's arrived this time!"
Gu Lan's eyes grew cold as he retreated from the crowd and disappeared instantly. In the next moment, he appeared at the Jing Nation's border, where space was violently fluctuating, clearly showing that someone was forcibly trying to break through the Boundary Protection Array and descend into the Earthly Realm.

"If you want to enter the mortal realm, no need to go through so much trouble. Let me give you a hand!"
Gu Lan sneered coldly, forming a hand seal to release the Boundary Protection Array's control over the area. In an instant, space rippled like a lake into which a boulder had been thrown, surging like waves. Then, two figures emerged from the spatial crack, one after the other.
"Ow!"
"Damn it! My pants got ripped by the spatial storm!"
One man hovered in the air, though his appearance was quite comical, holding his hands over his torn pants. Gu Lan was momentarily stunned by this sight. The ridiculous-looking man before him was none other than his friend from the Immortal Realm, Qin Huangmo. What was this guy doing in the Earthly Realm all of a sudden?
Traversing from the Jianmu Earthly Realm to this Earthly Realm wasn't much easier than ascending to the Immortal Realm. Not to mention, Gu Lan had set up the Boundary Protection Array, making entry into the Earthly Realm even more difficult. The higher one's cultivation, the greater the cost of descending to the mortal realm.
To this day, no Divine Realm cultivator had managed to descend, for this very reason.
"Brother Qin?"
"Brother Gu!"
Hearing Gu Lan's call, Qin Huangmo stopped worrying about his pants and quickly turned around. Seeing Gu Lan, his face lit up with joy. He flew over, smiling from ear to ear.
"Brother Qin, your sudden visit is a pleasant surprise..."
Gu Lan canceled the hand seal he had been preparing. Initially, he was about to hit the incoming intruders hard, but seeing that it was Qin Huangmo, it clearly wasn't necessary. First, Qin Huangmo's cultivation didn't require such measures. Second, Gu Lan trusted that Qin Huangmo wasn't foolish enough to cause trouble for Jing Nation.
"Brother Gu, I feel the same way!"
"When we parted ways in the Immortal Realm, I still vividly remember the times we sat and discussed the Dao on the Divine Ship together."
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Huangmo reminisced fondly. Just as he was about to continue, two soft coughs came from behind him. Qin Huangmo turned toward the sound.
"Honey, come here! Let me formally introduce you. This is my friend from the Immortal Realm, Gu Lan, the Realm Ruler of this Earthly Realm and the head of the Lanyan Royal School!"
"Brother Gu! This is my one and only true love!"
A woman in a blue dress floated over as Qin Huangmo began his introduction. She had a gentle, water-like demeanor, with exceptional beauty worthy of the title "fair maiden." To captivate someone like Qin Huangmo, the ruler of the Jianmu Earthly Realm, only a woman of such charm could have done so.
"Qiushui greets Sir Gu."
The woman greeted Gu Lan with a light bow, and Gu Lan returned the gesture. His eyes were filled with astonishment, not because of her cultivation—which was Imperial Realm Six-Tier, an incredibly high level for the Earthly Realm—but because of her appearance. This woman looked strikingly similar to the Dragon Clan princess, Ao Qin'er, who had fallen off the Immortal Desolation Cliff.
The only difference was her temperament; she was far gentler than the proud Ao Qin'er. Gu Lan had seen a portrait of Ao Qin'er before but had never imagined he would meet someone so similar.
"Cough, cough!"
Just as Gu Lan was staring at the woman, Qin Huangmo discreetly stepped between his wife and Gu Lan.
"Brother Gu, I consider you a friend, but you better not have any inappropriate thoughts about my wife! If you dare try something, I'll tell Miss Mu!"
After Qin Huangmo's teasing, Gu Lan's face darkened, while the woman named Qiushui laughed. Before Gu Lan could explain, Qiushui spoke up: "You misunderstood. I don't believe Sir Gu was being rude. Rather, it seemed he was reminded of an old acquaintance."
