My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 511: The Female Disciples from Demon Realm
"Demon Clan!"
Seeing the person behind the soldier, the nine-tailed celestial fox was deeply shocked. As the Lord of Demon God City, he was familiar with the Demon Clan due to their past encounters and the emissaries who served them.
He had sensed their presence when the Demon Realm masters descended to the Lower Realm, but he couldn't understand why the Demon Clan would assist Jing Nation, especially with something as minor as guarding the border.
Given the terrifying killing intent he had just experienced, the individual must have reached the Imperial Realm, and not just any Imperial Realm. Such a powerful figure stationed at the border of an Earthly Realm dynasty was almost unbelievable. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, the nine-tailed celestial fox would never have believed it.
With such a high-level expert present, he had no choice but to act according to the situation and queue up like everyone else.

At various locations along the Jing Nation border, many Earthly Realm experts, similar to the nine-tailed celestial fox, initially struggled with their pride. However, upon witnessing the might of Jing Nation, they too became subdued. Jing Nation was truly the foremost dynasty in the Earthly Realm in terms of national power, military strength, prestige, and influence among cultivators.
Lanyan Royal School had six years before the first batch of disciples graduated. By then, Jing Nation would gain an even stronger force, as many disciples of Lanyan Royal School, even if not from Jing Nation itself, would choose to develop their skills there. Additionally, there was the option to ascend to the Immortal Realm to assist in nation-building.
The Debate Ceremony would further enhance the reputation of both Lanyan Royal School and Jing Nation.
Gu Lan planned to advance to the Main God Realm during this Debate Ceremony, allowing the entire Earthly Realm to witness his breakthrough. This move would boost his reputation, earn system rewards, and create opportunities for Jing Nation, making it a win-win situation.

"How lively it is here!"
"Since our seniors went to the Great Competition of All Clans, it's been a while since Royal School has been this busy, right?"
"Yes! I even saw Princess Chiyang from Chiyang Dynasty attending the Debate Ceremony with her master. Her legs... her clothes are so white!"
On the bustling Tianqiong Mountain, a few Lanyan Royal School disciples stood atop a peak, patrolling while sneaking appreciative glances at the many beautiful visitors passing by. Having been at Lanyan Royal School for years, they felt the academy was wonderful in every way—except for the noticeable shortage of female disciples, creating fierce competition.
Among the disciples, Chen Fan and Xiao Yan were especially notorious for their single-minded dedication to cultivation. These two iron-willed figures had earned admiration from the few female disciples, yet neither showed the slightest interest in romance, immersing themselves entirely in their practice. Even Gu Lan, their mentor, occasionally found their indifference exasperating.
One memorable story involved a female disciple who tirelessly practiced alchemy, eventually crafting a batch of elixirs to enhance Imperial Stage cultivator's power in the shape of little hearts. She was delighted to present them to Xiao Yan, only to find that he had already advanced to the Saint Stage.
He declined her heartfelt gift without hesitation, leaving her with a line that became legendary: "Romantic entanglements only slow down my cultivation. Junior sister, be wise."
Since that incident, Xiao Yan received no further confessions, and without any distractions, his cultivation soared. The female disciple herself, turning heartbreak into determination, immersed herself in her studies and became one of the few women chosen to participate in the grand inter-clan competition. Her focus paid off with impressive results.
Recently, however, Lanyan Royal School's fame centered around two new female disciples from the Demon Realm: Qianqian and Yaya. They had joined after extensive vetting and recommendations from a demonic elder. Though Lanyan Royal School seemed to accept disciples freely, admission was still no easy feat.
The presence of these two fresh faces from the Demon Realm sparked both curiosity and admiration, adding a touch of novelty to the academy's ranks.
"Yaya!"
"We finally became Lanyan Royal School disciples. I should be able to see her at this Debate Ceremony!"
"I didn't expect her to be the Empress of Jing Nation. She's truly impressive!"
Qianqian wore her Lanyan Royal School disciple robes, her outfit light and airy, well-suited for the crisp, still-warm autumn weather. Her two fair arms were bare, and her large, crescent-moon-shaped eyes sparkled as she gazed dreamily in the direction of Jing Nation's capital, like an enchanted fan.
Beside her stood Yaya, exuding maturity and poise. After descending to the Earthly Realm, Yaya had diligently studied human customs, learning that many Confucian scholars and Daoist cultivators admired well-read, graceful women. Imitating these ideals, she endeavored to adopt a refined demeanor.
Despite lacking skill in pursuits like music, chess, and calligraphy, her natural succubus charm added an allure to her air, giving her the aura of an elegant and confident woman.
"Qianqian, remember," Yaya advised with a coy smile, her red lips barely moving, "a little push and pull makes you all the more alluring to the ones you like."

Qianqian chuckled softly at her friend's comment, knowing full well that Yaya's understanding of romance was more theoretical than practical. Despite her wise-sounding insights, Yaya had no real experience—otherwise, she wouldn't be chasing love all the way to the Earthly Realm alongside her.
Truthfully, neither of them fully grasped love; their admiration for Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan was more like idol worship, though neither would admit it.
As they strolled, chatting and laughing, their conversation shifted from the Earthly Realm's landscapes to its food. And when the topic of food came up, the two young demon women—both over a century old but with hearts alight like children—lit up, eyes sparkling as they hurried to the Lanyan Royal School cafeteria.
While meeting Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan was their biggest hope in coming to the Earthly Realm, discovering the realm's food was their greatest delight. They had never imagined that food could be so delicious; even the simplest dishes were crafted like art.
Their eager sprint to the cafeteria drew plenty of attention—primarily from the male disciples of Lanyan Royal School but also from powerhouses across the Earthly Realm who were visiting.
"Two Saint Stage powerhouses from the Demon Clan were just ordinary disciples here at Lanyan Royal School… Is this their true strength?" muttered one of the Earthly Realm experts, a hint of despair flickering in his eyes.
"Have I devoted my life to training only to find that, in the end, I might just be on par with a Lanyan disciple?" another murmured. "No—I'm not even on their level! The strongest Lanyan disciples are rumored to be at the very peak of the Saint Stage!"
Even the most seasoned Saint Stage experts, seasoned rulers of their domains, wore faces of silent anguish as they took in the scene. Had it not been for their years of mental training, their Dao hearts might have shattered on the spot. As it was, even their spirits took a hard hit, their confidence shaken like never before.
