My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 439: Departure

"Why does it seem like my realm isn't advancing? Is it necessary to completely master a Rule Power to advance to the Main God Realm?" Gu Lan pondered while examining the rudimentary form of the sword rule in his hand.

Comprehending Rule Powers usually took hundreds or even thousands of years; achieving it in a short time was quite challenging. He decided not to continue with the Rule comprehension. Instead, he created a doppelganger to forge the Hongmeng Sword in the earth cold pool.

The sword was nurtured with Confucian righteousness, polished with the sword polishing stone, and finally tempered with the cold air from the earth cold pool.

Gu Lan's main body, meanwhile, focused on cultivation with his beloved Honey.

Seven days later.

Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan both awoke from their cultivation. At this point, Mu Yuyan's eyes were calm and her aura well-contained. Her realm remained at the peak of Heaven Emperor, just a step away from breaking through to the Imperial Realm. She wasn't actively seeking the breakthrough but waited naturally for the right moment.

Beside her, Gu Lan retracted his doppelganger and retrieved the successfully upgraded Hongmeng Sword, which had evolved from a Heaven Treasure to a supreme divine weapon. It now possessed growth potential, capable of absorbing all chaotic energies in battle and transforming them into Hongmeng Power to strengthen itself.

Gu Lan caressed the sword, feeling its excitement as it resonated and emitted a gentle humming sound. The sword seemed thrilled with its advancement.

"There's no rush. We still have a grand battle waiting for us in the Immortal Realm's Nine Heavens," Gu Lan said, looking towards the traces on the azure ice crystal outside the cold pool.

Despite the passage of years, he could still see that the damage to the azure ice crystal came from a sword, with a distinct sword mark. This mark resembled the ones on the statues of the Underworld Emperor of Feng and the Ten Underworld Kings.

Everything seemed to point to the Bright Clan Divine Son being involved. Before the Snow Clan Divine King's death, there was no clear evidence that the Bright Clan orchestrated the Seven Clans' attack on the Snow Clan, but all signs afterward suggested that the Bright Clan was the biggest beneficiary.

The Snow Clan's destruction led to significant losses for the Seven Clans, followed by the invasion of extraterrestrial entities, which caused the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm to decline sharply. The Underworld Destiny was halved, and the Bright Clan emerged as the savior of the Six Realms, with the Bright Temple becoming the most powerful force.

The truth of history might be distorted, but the trajectory of history remained unchanged. The Bright Clan did not represent light.

"The arrival of that great battle is not far off!" Gu Lan said, retracting his gaze and lightly tapping the Hongmeng Sword with his fingertip, storing it inside his body for nourishment.

Then, he and Mu Yuyan walked out of the earth cold pool. As they exited, they encountered a doppelganger of Feng Ruoxue entering the core space of the Snow Clan Sacred Mountain.

"The Great Competition of All Clans is approaching, and Cloud Clan has called me back. I must leave now. There's also something important I need to tell you," Feng Ruoxue's doppelganger said, casting a deep look at Gu Lan.

Back in the Immortal Realm, she had found Gu Lan elusive, and now, even more so.

"During your cultivation, the Seven Clans of the Immortal Realm have decided to add a new feature to the Great Competition of All Clans. The final grand competition will include a new segment. Any force that ranks in the top one hundred of the Great Competition of All Clans, whether it's the leader, sect master, or Realm Ruler, can participate."

"That grand competition will determine the final ranking. The Seven Clans must have made thorough preparations for this decision, so be cautious."

With her last words, Feng Ruoxue's doppelganger turned into a wisp of wind and vanished from the core space of the Sacred Mountain.

Gu Lan considered the grand competition and had some speculations but did not pay it much heed. Originally, even with his age, he could participate in the Great Competition of All Clans as a Realm Ruler. The Immortal Realm's Seven Clans adding a grand competition likely aimed to allow older, more powerful cultivators to influence the final rankings.

Gu Lan wasn't overly concerned. He would have to act regardless of who the enemy was. One sword would suffice. If he encountered the Bright Clan Divine Son earlier, he would simply use more swords. Gu Lan was eager to test his limits.

"Chirp!"

The Spiritual Creature of Nine Skies nuzzled against Mu Yuyan, sensing the atmosphere of departure and looking particularly pitiful. As it had just been born and still needed the azure ice flames for growth, it couldn't leave with Mu Yuyan, making it sad.

"Don't be sad. You stay here and cultivate. After some time, Darling and I will come back to get you."

"Now that the Sacred Mountain has regained vitality, you're like a guardian spirit of the Sacred Mountain. If any snow spirits are born, you must take good care of them!"

Mu Yuyan gently stroked the small, fluffy creature with a tender gaze.

Seven days had passed, and the Snow Clan Sacred Mountain had transformed from a desolate land into a vibrant place. Covered in snow, it was still filled with unique vegetation and young frost trees growing vigorously under the influence of the Spiritual Creature of Nine Skies. Once the frost trees matured, snow spirits would be born, and with them, a new generation of the Snow Clan would emerge.

Mu Yuyan could then pass on the Snow Clan legacy to these new members and help them grow.

"Darling, let's leave this place."

Finally, Mu Yuyan named the Spiritual Creature of Nine Skies as Chirp and, holding Gu Lan's hand, left the Snow Clan Sacred Mountain.

Before leaving, Gu Lan casually set up several hidden restriction arrays around the Sacred Mountain's perimeter, which only had concealment effects. The restrictions on the Snow Clan's ruins were already quite strong, and he had become accustomed to adding these extra measures. If anyone came to investigate the Snow Clan's ruins, he would be alerted immediately.

The two traveled by the Void Divine Ship and soon returned to the 33rd Sky of the Immortal Realm.

Back at their original sect's guest house, Li Xiong had already settled with a group of Lanyan Royal School disciples in the guest house's cave abode. Many disciples of the Lanyan Royal School were staying in such luxurious cave abodes for the first time and were excited. Several had even broken through their previous realms upon arriving in the Immortal Realm.

During their stay in the opulent cave abode, with abundant spiritual energy and resources, many of them had made breakthroughs.

"Lord, I received a notification from the Great Competition of All Clans reception desk the other day. It seems the Realm Ruler may need to personally participate in the final grand competition."

Upon Gu Lan's return, Li Xiong immediately reported the news, including details about the grand competition.

"I'm already aware of this and have plans in mind. You need not worry."

"Focus on ensuring the safety of the Royal School disciples and prepare well for the upcoming battle."

"If any forces dare to stretch their claws here, show no mercy. Cut them all off!"
