My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 480: Wild Secret Place
"The secret place is about to open!"
"All disciples, please prepare your teleportation talismans. We will begin the teleportation in ten breaths!"
The referee of the Great Competition of All Clans shouted with his True Qi, his voice echoing across the Ling Mountain in the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm. He was seated atop a golden elephant, its strength comparable to that of a Heaven Emperor. The grand display was meant to establish authority.
Gu Lan glanced at the golden elephant, sensing a hint of wild energy from it. It seemed that the referee had an impressive background.
Whether impressive or not was of little concern to Gu Lan at the moment. He had his own pre-battle preparations to attend to. He waved his hand and cast a calming spell on all the Lanyan Royal School disciples.
"The team competition is about to begin. Don't feel burdened. The final ranking doesn't matter as much as ensuring no one gets hurt. If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, be sure to use your teleportation talisman to escape. Compared to the ranking in the Great Competition of All Clans, your safety and well-being are the most valuable to me and to Lanyan Royal School."

Gu Lan's voice echoed around him. Despite the calming spell, the disciples were still filled with excitement and anticipation. Gu Lan knew their passion and had given them the spell to help them stay focused, though it seemed not entirely effective.
He could only hope that Xiao Yan, Chen Fan, Ye Fan, Mo Li, and Lin Ye would keep a close watch on their fellow disciples. Among them, Xiao Yan and Lin Ye appeared to be the most excited.
"Ten breaths are up!"
"Disciples, please activate your teleportation talismans immediately!"
The referee's voice rang out again. At the same time, a gigantic light gate slowly opened above Ling Mountain.
The aura within the light gate was even denser than that in the 33rd Sky of Divine Realm, and not much less than that of heavenly paradises. This was only the outer part of the secret place; the inner part would have even denser spiritual energy.
Moreover, the place also carried a hint of wildness. If a common spiritual beast had even a trace of wild energy, its power would increase significantly.
Such a secret place, filled with both opportunities and dangers, was known as a Wild Secret Place in the Immortal Realm. Even the lowest-grade Wild Secret Places contained countless resources and treasures.
This was the strength of the Immortal Realm—countless heavenly paradises and secret places, a stark contrast to Earthly Realm's limitations.
The disciples of Lanyan Royal School activated their teleportation talismans, and their figures gradually vanished.
Gu Lan watched them depart with a kind, paternal gaze, like a father sending his children to an exam.
"After ensuring their safety, I must take my turn. I wonder if my main body will be able to come out after the team competition. If not, dealing with the Divine Realm experts from the various forces with my current strength shouldn't be too difficult."
Thinking this, Gu Lan took out a plate of celestial fruits and a pot of celestial wine, settling comfortably on Ling Mountain. He then activated his Divine Space Ring to connect with several spatial nodes in the secret place, allowing him to view some of the secret place's scenes.
The Great Competition of All Clans referee was using similar secret techniques but could only view five screens, while Gu Lan had access to dozens.
Among the five screens, Lanyan Royal School and the Immortal Realm's seven great houses were not yet visible. Currently, only one screen showed a group of disciples from a well-known Immortal Realm force, ranked just below the Twelve Temples.
Unfortunately, these disciples had just entered the secret place and were already being chased by a wild giant ape, their situation making the watching forces chuckle.
Despite the amusement, they understood that this secret place would make the team competition much more challenging. The danger involved could greatly impact the final rankings.
This situation made some forces hopeful that if their disciples had good luck and survived until the end, they could gain significant points and achieve a good ranking.
While others enjoyed the spectacle, Gu Lan was also engaged. Qin Huangmo had found him and brought the best spiritual tea from Jianmu Earthly Realm.
Qin Huangmo began chatting away as soon as he arrived. Jianmu Earthly Realm had unexpectedly made it into the top five hundred, higher than his predicted top thousand. Even though he wouldn't participate in the final team competition, he still wanted to cheer for Lanyan Royal School.
Even though he knew Gu Lan was a Divine Realm expert, Qin Huangmo showed no signs of intimidation. Once he started talking, he could chat endlessly with anyone.
"Brother Gu, your clone's strength is incredible! Watching you battle the Fire Clan elder made me quite excited. The summoned gun god was so impressive!"
"If you have time, you could teach me about using guns. I'm quite interested in gun techniques."
"By the way, Brother Gu, why do you have more screens than the Great Competition of All Clans' referee? Did you get special access from God's Reign Sect?"
As Qin Huangmo continued to chat, Gu Lan responded occasionally, letting him continue unabated.
Soon, Lanyan Royal School's disciples appeared on the screens in the secret place. Unlike others, they weren't fighting fierce beasts or other forces' disciples. Instead, they were fully immersed in mining.
The minerals they were mining were rare and valuable for crafting magic tools and arrays. Their scarcity in the Earthly Realm and even in the Celestial and Demon Realms meant they were in high demand.
Seeing so many minerals, the Lanyan Royal School disciples quickly became diligent miners, utilizing various secret techniques to maximize their efficiency.
This scene was not surprising to Gu Lan, who was pleased with their pragmatic approach.
However, Qin Huangmo was stunned. Watching the efficiency of Lanyan Royal School's disciples in mining, he couldn't help but marvel.
"Brother Gu, your disciples are indeed exceptional. Even their mining skills surpass others significantly. It's truly impressive."
"If the outside world saw that the most talked-about Lanyan Royal School disciples are focused on mining in the secret place, it would definitely become a noteworthy story."
Qin Huangmo chuckled, shaking his head. Gu Lan, however, was very satisfied.
His disciples' practical attitude pleased him greatly. With seven days to go in the team competition, there was plenty of time to accumulate points, so there was no rush.
Moreover, the points earned from mining were substantial.
