My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 519: The Conversion of Power
Next to Mu Yuyan, Liu Yexi and Xiao Fei'er sat quietly.
In such a grand occasion, Liu Yexi had initially intended to secretly protect Mu Yuyan. However, knowing that the Emperor's cultivation was far beyond her reach and that the Xuantian Division's arrangements were in place, she realized there was little chance of disturbance in the Lanyan Royal School. Therefore, she followed Mu Yuyan's instructions and quietly observed the grand ceremony.
Over the years, Liu Yexi's cultivation had improved significantly, yet she had still not reached the Imperial Realm. Mu Yuyan had asked her to temporarily set aside her duties with the Xuantian Division to find a breakthrough through this debate.
Xiao Fei'er, who had been forcibly brought by Mu Yuyan, was also present. Unlike Liu Yexi, Xiao Fei'er had a passion for music and was not very enthusiastic about cultivation. She had only recently begun serious training, spurred by Gu Lan's reward of a set of techniques related to music, which suited her well.
At the center of the arena, Gu Lan's appearance drew everyone's attention. Even the usually narcissistic nine-tailed celestial fox had to admit that Gu Lan was equally impressive in appearance.
"Few Imperial Realm experts are seen in the Earthly Realm. Many believe this is due to the lower concentration of spiritual energy and resources compared to other realms," Gu Lan stated, his voice echoing with authority, resonating like the sound of war drums.
"Surely, everyone here shares this belief."
"However, today I must tell you that you are wrong, and very wrong!"

Gu Lan spoke with conviction, his words penetrating every ear like a resounding gong.
Many of the powerful figures present had reached the pinnacle of Saint Stage, and even those who were not at the peak were still well-known experts within the Saint Stage, leading major forces. They acknowledged their inferiority compared to Gu Lan, but his condescending remarks left them quite angry.
Those who had reached Saint Stage in the Earthly Realm were exceptional talents. Normally, they would not concede easily to others, and had Gu Lan not been so overwhelmingly powerful, they would not have attended this debate.
"Principal Gu Lan!"
"We respect your cultivation, which is why we traveled from afar to Jing Nation and to Tianqiong Mountain for this so-called debate. We came to seek breakthroughs, not to hear your disparaging words!"
"You are a prodigy capable of breaking free from the constraints of the Earthly Realm environment, but that doesn't mean we are useless!"
"Everyone here has forged their path through countless trials and should not be belittled!"
Two individuals with fiery tempers stood up in protest. Although others did not speak, their tightly furrowed brows indicated their disapproval of Gu Lan's remarks.
The only ones who might fully agree with Gu Lan's words were likely the disciples of Lanyan Royal School, who had seen the vastness of the Six Realms. To them, the Imperial Realm was no longer a limitation.
Gu Lan's meaning was clear to them. Within certain blessed lands, it was possible to break through to the Imperial Realm even in the Earthly Realm. Yet, why had there been so few Imperial Realm experts in thousands of years?
An Initial Demon Demonic Soul appearing in the past had caused great chaos until Chiyang Saint Sovereign sacrificed himself to seal the Demonic Soul.
Messengers from Demon Realm, Immortal Realm, and the Underworld typically only needed to be at the Imperial Realm to sweep through the Earthly Realm.
The rarity of Imperial Realm experts in the Earthly Realm seemed like a fact.
However, Gu Lan knew that this was not entirely true.
Gu Lan extended his hand, palm facing upwards towards the sun. In an instant, a strand of solar fire was drawn into his palm.
"To be able to easily draw in solar fire, it seems Gu Lan's cultivation is even stronger than I imagined!"
This display caused the many powerful figures in the arena to calm down once more. Regardless of anything else, Gu Lan's cultivation was genuinely superior to theirs, and they were eager to understand what Gu Lan intended to convey and what the debate was truly about.
Most importantly, they all harbored the desire to break through their own limitations and become as powerful as Gu Lan in the Imperial Realm.
"Friends, do you know the difference between Imperial Realm and Saint Stage, and what makes Imperial Realm so powerful?" Gu Lan asked, holding the solar fire in his hand.
Before anyone could answer, he opened another hand, and cold air emanated from it. Soon after, a flame ignited—pale blue lunar fire.
Solar fire in one hand, lunar fire in the other.
Mastering the supreme forces of yin and yang with such ease made everyone hold their breath.
At this moment, they began to ponder the meaning behind Gu Lan's earlier words.
In the arena, Dragon Sovereign and Ao Hanyi were among the spectators.
The East Sea Dragon Clan possessed the bloodline of true dragons and could naturally manipulate both yin and yang forces. Upon reaching maturity, they could control the weather, showcasing their mastery of these powers. However, directly drawing in solar and lunar fire would still be quite dangerous for the Dragon Clan.
Seeing Gu Lan perform such feats, Dragon Sovereign felt a sense of admiration.
Dragon Sovereign knew that Gu Lan was still relatively young by human standards. To achieve such cultivation at his age was impressive even to the seasoned old ones.
"So, Brother Gu has grown this powerful?" Ao Hanyi looked at Gu Lan with complex emotions—admiration, reverence, and an indescribable feeling.
Back at Immortal Desolation Cliff, she had thought she had moved on when she saw Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan together. However, seeing Gu Lan again after so many years, she realized how difficult it was to truly let go of someone.
In youth, encountering someone extraordinary often means that person remains unforgettable for life.
Ao Hanyi's heart was filled with mixed feelings as she gazed at the mist on Tianqiong Mountain. The mist, illuminated by the sunlight, shimmered with a faint glow, and the array's light flickered, creating a particularly beautiful scene.
"That's not right!"
"That's the array reacting to an external threat. Could someone have secretly infiltrated Lanyan Royal School?"
"Should I inform Brother Gu?"
Ao Hanyi's thoughts raced, but she quickly realized that if she could see it, Gu Lan's cultivation surely allowed him to sense it.
Since Gu Lan was not concerned, it meant that whatever was happening was less significant than the debate.
In the center of the arena, Gu Lan was indeed aware of the intrusion into Lanyan Royal School's array. However, the intruders were insignificant and had already been trapped by the array. He had sent a message to Xiao Yan and Chen Fan to handle the situation.
"Yin and Yang forces can generate all the powers in the world."
"The difference between Imperial Realm and Saint Stage lies here. Yin and Yang forces can generate other powers, and those powers can also give rise to new forces!"
As Gu Lan spoke, changes occurred in his palm once more.
