Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 2085 - 1775: Perhaps He Has Already Figured Out How to Deal With Lu Chen...
Northern Domain, Nine Heavens Institute.
In the sky covered with dark clouds, Xuan Qingyun, dressed in a pale purple Immortal Robe, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
Her gaze turned towards the Southern Domain, and she murmured to herself, "Trying to instigate a conflict between Lu Chen and me, then sit back and reap the benefits?"
The Blood Ancestor did not know how terrifying Xuan Qingyun’s Heavenly Mechanism Technique was. Xuan Qingyun had already calculated some things about the Blood Ancestor. Although she did not know exactly what conflict existed between the Blood Ancestor and Lu Chen, she knew the Blood Ancestor was eager to kill Lu Chen.
But even though the Blood Ancestor wanted to kill Lu Chen, he was very wary of him. As he schemed in his heart to provoke a conflict between Lu Chen and her, the Power of Heavenly Mechanism within her automatically activated, allowing her to glimpse part of the future.
She indeed saw Lu Chen as her greatest obstacle to refining the Heavenly Dao, but she wasn’t foolish. She knew she couldn’t directly clash with Lu Chen, whose identity was mysterious, and she was very wary of the Red Flower Sedan related to Lu Chen.
The most important thing was her intuition telling her that if she were to take direct action against Lu Chen, it would bring big trouble. She had actually been contemplating whether to borrow another’s hand to cause trouble for Lu Chen and eliminate him.
But before she could plan this, someone else was already plotting to have her act against Lu Chen.
Now the Barbaric and Eastern Domains had very good relations with Lu Chen, and the Mysterious Moon Palace also had traces of Lu Chen. She couldn’t rely on the Central Domain, and the only one she could count on was the Southern Domain. But in the end, the Blood Ancestor of the Southern Domain was instead wary of Lu Chen, hoping she would deal with him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Xuan Qingyun furrowed her brows. It was indeed not an easy task to eliminate Lu Chen.
However, if she did not deal with Lu Chen, allowing him to continue growing, one day he would refine the Heavenly Dao and gain control of the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain. By the time Lu Chen controlled the Tianyan Immortal Domain, it would probably be impossible for her to break through to the realm above the Immortal Emperor.
Xuan Qingyun fell into contemplation. As she pondered, she operated the Power of Heavenly Mechanism to deduce the possible events in the coming Tianyan Immortal Domain.
"There are neither eternal enemies nor eternal friends." The good relations between Lu Chen and those forces were merely because Lu Chen held value. If Lu Chen were to lose his value, naturally someone would take action against him.
Take the Barbaric Domain, for example. The reason the various forces there were so accommodating to Lu Chen was simply because he could engrave the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array and help seal off eerie creatures.
If Lu Chen were to lose the value of keeping eerie creatures at bay and became dispensable, then sooner or later, someone would covet the secrets on Lu Chen’s body and target him.
Thinking of this, Xuan Qingyun’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Perhaps she had already figured out how to deal with Lu Chen...
...
At this moment, Lu Chen was unaware that both the Blood Ancestor and Xuan Qingyun were scheming against him. In the next decades, he continued to accumulate Qi Fortune for cultivation while trying hard to procreate.
The war between the Barbaric Domain and the Southern Domain had reached a fever pitch. Most of the Southern Domain had fallen under the control of various Barbaric forces, and many Immortal Venerates from the Southern Domain had perished. Now, the three lines of defense in the Southern Domain had completely collapsed, leaving behind remnants of battles fought by Immortal Venerates everywhere in the Southern Domain.
Countless Immortal Sects in the sky had been destroyed, their ruins floating in the air. With no Concealing Array to shield them, the ruins obscured the sunlight in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, making the Southern Domain appear dark and gloomy.
Even though the Blood Eagle Hall sent many people to the north to stop people from leaving the Southern Domain, because of Lu Chen’s presence, a large number of inhabitants still left through the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
Some stayed in Lu Chen’s Daqin Immortal Dynasty, while others circumvented the Barbaric Domain to the Central Domain or the Eastern Domain.
With the massive exodus from the Southern Domain, its Qi Fortune significantly declined, greatly affecting the strength of the remaining Immortal Venerates.
Now, the Immortal Venerates of the Southern Domain’s Third Layer Heaven didn’t have the strength to contend with even the First Layer Heaven Immortal Venerates of the Barbaric Domain. Without the Blood Ancestor’s intervention, this war held no suspense.
Despite knowing the Blood Ancestor’s formidable strength, the forces across the Southern Domain had utterly lost faith in the Blood Eagle Hall and the Blood Ancestor.
The Immortal Venerates, being shrewd themselves, weren’t blind either. Despite the imminent fall of the entire Southern Domain, apart from initially eliminating traitors and intimidating the forces across the Southern Domain, the Blood Ancestor had not taken any further action, merely watching as the forces clashed with the Barbaric Domain bitterly.
Clearly, the Blood Ancestor sought to see the Southern Domain drenched in blood by the Barbaric invasion. Considering the Blood Ancestor was also an Evil Immortal, people immediately understood why the Blood Ancestor had remained inactive.
The Evil Immortals needed negative emotions to cultivate, and the war between the Barbaric Domain and Southern Domain produced abundant negative emotions and varied grievances, significantly enhancing the power of the Evil Immortals in the Blood Eagle Hall.
Initially, the Blood Eagle Hall had only one Evil Immortal Venerate, Blood Demon Immortal Venerable, but now the number of Evil Immortal Venerates had increased to five, with the number of Immortal Kings in the Blood Eagle Hall also substantially rising.
Realizing the Blood Eagle Hall’s conspiracy, the Southern Domain’s forces gradually abandoned resistance and began planning to defect to the Barbaric Domain.
However, because of the cautionary tale provided by Stone Sun Immortal Emperor, although the forces of the Southern Domain desired to seek refuge with the Barbaric Domain, they dared not act recklessly.
A certain Immortal Sect.
In a spacious cave dwelling, numerous Immortal Venerates from the Southern Domain were gathered.
Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable sat among them. Ever since the destruction of the Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect, he had been wandering among the Immortal Sects of the Southern Domain.
Having sustained severe injuries in a duel with Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable had partially recovered, but with his Immortal Sect destroyed, his strength had diminished greatly. Now he only wished to leave the Southern Domain.
Today, the gathered Immortal Venerates were here to discuss how to defect to the Barbaric Domain and leave the Southern Domain.
They were well aware that the Blood Ancestor would never allow their betrayal. If they betrayed him, they might very well be killed before even leaving the Southern Domain. Thus, they needed the protection of the Hidden Moon Sect Leader.
Only the Hidden Moon Sect Leader possessed the strength to contend with an Immortal Emperor. Without his intervention, they wouldn’t be able to leave the Southern Domain.
The atmosphere in the cave dwelling was extremely tense. Each Immortal Venerate exchanged glances without uttering a word.
The Blood Ancestor, being of Immortal Emperor Level, left them afraid to speak carelessly, lest he overhear their words. There was no truly safe place left in the Southern Domain.
Despite setting up numerous Isolation Arrays, none believed these could shield from the Blood Ancestor’s Divine Thought. They had gathered under the pretense of "discussing strategies against the enemy."
At this moment, unable to bear the silence any longer, one Immortal Venerate asked directly, "Everyone, what should we do now?"
"The strength of the Barbaric Domain far surpasses ours. At this rate, we will all fall, merely contributing to the revival of Immortal Aura in the Tianyan Immortal Domain."
Hearing these words, the gathered Immortal Venerates sighed, refraining from responding hastily.
However, at this moment, Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable spoke directly, "It’s likely we’ve long been considered someone else’s nourishment. Only by doing so can there be a path forward."
