My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 540: Junior Brother, Broadening Horizons

At this crucial period of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence transformation, whether the Earthly Realm could advance further depended on the integration of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence with the Earthly Realm. Therefore, Gu Lan's main body could not leave.

However, not being able to leave with his main body did not mean that his Three Clarity avatars couldn't. The Snow Clan's ancient grounds were also a vital venue for the Lanyan Royal School, so they could not afford any mishaps.

Gu Lan immediately used One Breath Into Three Clarity to send his Three Clarity avatars, equipped with the Divine Space Ring, to the Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, his main body, after instructing Mu Yuyan on some matters, went to the depths of Tianqiong Mountain to accelerate the integration of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence with the Earthly Realm.

To speed up this process, Gu Lan took out the Azure Lotus of Merits.

As soon as the Azure Lotus of Merits appeared, the Nine Heavens Earth Essence naturally wanted to absorb its life energy. However, unlike the Branches of Jianmu, the Azure Lotus of Merits was not easily manipulated and resisted the absorption.

"Interesting!"

Seeing the two great treasures naturally engaged in a struggle, Gu Lan found it amusing. He decided to use his own power to stimulate the Azure Lotus of Merits to release life energy. This way, he was consuming his own energy rather than that of the Azure Lotus of Merits.

Originally, Gu Lan thought this wouldn't work, knowing how picky the Nine Heavens Earth Essence was. But to his surprise, as soon as the life energy appeared, the Nine Heavens Earth Essence became active and devoured it completely.

At the same time, the integration of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence with the Earthly Realm advanced further.

"Feasible!"

Gu Lan was overjoyed and continued to use his own power to stimulate the Azure Lotus of Merits. His current strength allowed him to sustain this for a hundred years without feeling tired, almost consuming no energy at all.

Moreover, he had just recently broken through and continuously advanced, so he was still familiarizing himself with his strength. This was a good opportunity to understand his own capabilities better.

While Gu Lan entered seclusion, Mu Yuyan took over the complete management of the Earthly Realm. As the Empress of Jing Nation and a Divine Realm expert, her words were naturally heeded by everyone.

The powerful individuals from various factions who came for the Great Dao Ceremony had all received significant opportunities and were now extremely obedient. Even those who had barely broken through to the Imperial Realm were now very compliant. They had truly understood the concept of "beyond humanity, beyond heaven" during their time in Jing Nation. They had once thought the Imperial Realm was invincible, only to realize it was just the beginning.

"I didn't expect Miss Mu to be the Empress of Jing Nation. I must say, Brother Gu has an excellent eye. Miss Mu looks absolutely stunning in the dragon robe..."

Seeing Mu Yuyan in the dragon robe, Qin Huangmo's talkative nature returned. However, before he could finish, he was pinched by someone around his waist.

He immediately fell silent and forced a bright smile to appease his beloved.

At this time, Qiushui had regained her memories through the Dragon Pearl. She was Ao Qin'er, and also Qin Huangmo's beloved Qiushui. After falling into Immortal Desolation Cliff, she had suffered severe injuries and planned to split her soul to find a way to survive. However, she ended up being sucked into a spatial rift and arrived in the Jianmu Earthly Realm, where she unintentionally reincarnated in a drop of spiritual dew.

Her physical body and the other half of her soul were also sucked into the spatial rift and were lost.

The Six Realms were vast. Even though Qiushui had regained her memories through the Dragon Pearl, she could not sense the exact location of the other half of her soul. She only knew that the other half of her soul was safe.

Upon hearing this, Dragon Sovereign was very pleased. His daughter had finally returned. Although she was no longer part of the Dragon Clan, she was still his daughter, and her presence retained the essence of his daughter that even reincarnation could not erase.

However, Dragon Sovereign could not force Qiushui to stay with him and merely hoped that she would visit the East Sea Dragon Palace. Qiushui agreed.

Qin Huangmo had no reason to refuse.

Dragon Sovereign was delighted that his daughter had returned and that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation. He would soon ascend to the Demon Realm, making it a double joy.

The Dragon Clan was full of celebration, and so was Jing Nation. Due to the celestial phenomenon of blessings, talented cultivators in Jing Nation appeared like mushrooms after the rain, almost breaking through the gates of the Lanyan Royal School.

Even Xiao Yan, Chen Fan, and others felt the pressure. After a period of seclusion, they found it difficult to stay in the Earthly Realm. Thus, they all applied to go to the Immortal Realm for training, and Su Hua, the current head of the Lanyan Royal School, naturally agreed.

These talented students were progressing too quickly. Aside from Confucian teachings, Su Hua had little more to teach them. In the past, with Gu Lan overseeing Lanyan Royal School, these young talents were kept in check. Now that Gu Lan was in the Immortal Realm, it was becoming difficult to manage them.

Sending the most unruly ones to the Immortal Realm to stir up trouble was, in fact, a good thing.

"Who would have thought that one day, Jing Nation would produce so many young sages? It truly is an unprecedented era!"

Zhang Qingwei sighed as he watched the interdimensional teleportation array activate.

Once sitting atop Jixia Academy, one of the strongest academies in the Earthly Realm and possessing the unique Heaven Treasure Mirrors of the Myriad Realms, he now saw Jixia Academy's disciples running to Lanyan Royal School's golden study halls, almost forgetting their Jixia Academy identity.

"Junior Brother!"

"Jixia Academy and Lanyan Royal School are now like one family. Why not directly establish a college at Lanyan Royal School? That way, wouldn't it be worry-free?"

Grand Tutor Su Hua joked with a smile.

Zhang Qingwei, unusually silent and not debating with his senior brother, even found the idea appealing.

With Jixia Academy joining Lanyan Royal School and potentially forming a new college, delaying this move could result in being left behind by the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm.

He knew that the Enchanting Demon clan in the Demon Realm was preparing to apply for a Demon Clan-exclusive academy at Lanyan Royal School, with support from other Demon Clan masters. If successful, it would be a great boon for both Lanyan Royal School and the Demon Clan, as it was rare to find a Royal School in the Six Realms that allowed disciples to join other forces after graduation.

But for Jixia Academy, it was not good news.

Falling behind meant being beaten. Jing Nation had been invaded by Yu Nation for this very reason.

Zhang Qingwei had lived his life and read extensively. Although he often lost debates to his senior brother, he did not want to lose to the Demon Clan in this matter.

Thus, he decided to merge Jixia Academy into Lanyan Royal School.

"Junior Brother, you've broadened your horizons!"

Upon hearing Zhang Qingwei's decision, Su Hua showed a cunningly satisfied smile.
