Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 2118 - 1808: Are They All Her Kin?
Upon hearing the words of Immortal Emperor Youlan, Xuan Qingyun’s jade-like face immediately turned cold.
Leaving the Tianyan Immortal Domain to settle accounts with Lu Chen?
Wouldn’t that mean they have to watch Lu Chen grow stronger and then refine the Heavenly Dao?
If Lu Chen refines the Heavenly Dao, how would she break through to the realm above the Immortal Emperor?
Wait a minute...
Xuan Qingyun’s gaze suddenly fixated on the crystal coffin not far away.
She questioned in a probing tone, "If I haven’t sensed incorrectly, your cultivation state should be above the Immortal Emperor, right?"
"The Heavenly Dao of Tianyan Immortal Domain only permits the existence of an Immortal Emperor, how did you break through to a higher realm?"
After sensing the appearance of a terrifying presence in the Central Domain, Xuan Qingyun had always believed this presence was someone from the outside, having just entered from outside.
But having met Immortal Emperor Youlan, she realized that Immortal Emperor Youlan was also from Tianyan Immortal Domain. Although strictly speaking, Immortal Emperor Youlan was an outsider, judging by her founding of the Mysterious Moon Palace, she should have arrived at Tianyan Immortal Domain long ago, and thus is considered half an Immortal from the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao can limit everyone’s realms; even if Immortal Emperor Youlan is an outsider, in theory, the Heavenly Dao should also restrict her realm.
After Xuan Qingyun’s words, Immortal Emperor Youlan’s voice immediately echoed in Xuan Qingyun’s mind, "Once the seal within the depths of your divine soul is lifted, you too can disregard the limitation of the Heavenly Dao, breaking through to higher realms."
Upon hearing these words, Xuan Qingyun doubted, "Can mysterious lifeforms disregard the Tianyan Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Dao restrictions?"
Immortal Emperor Youlan replied, "It’s not that mysterious lifeforms can bypass Heavenly Dao restrictions, but our power far exceeds the Heavenly Dao of Tianyan Immortal Domain, so it fundamentally cannot restrict us."
Xuan Qingyun pondered for a while before she directly said, "Since you’re so powerful, presumably, you can easily break the seal within my divine soul."
Xuan Qingyun was eager to know how strong she could become once the sealed entity within her divine soul was unleashed. She had already had enough of Tianyan Immortal Domain and simply wished to leave this cage-like world.
Although Immortal Emperor Youlan still held the title of Immortal Emperor, her cultivation state had already surpassed the Immortal Emperor. If she intervened, perhaps she could directly break the seal within Xuan Qingyun’s divine soul.
However, Immortal Emperor Youlan did not accede to Xuan Qingyun’s request. Instead, she stated, "The time is not yet ripe. If the seal within your divine soul is lifted now, it would accelerate the collapse of Tianyan Immortal Domain; we wouldn’t have to wait for calamity to strike before Tianyan Immortal Domain collapses, leading to our minds being consumed by Chaos Qi."
Xuan Qingyun questioned, puzzled, "Wouldn’t surpassing the Immortal Emperor realm allow us to leave this world? Why worry whether Tianyan Immortal Domain collapses or not?"
Immortal Emperor Youlan explained, "If it were that easy to leave Tianyan Immortal Domain, I would have long left, and we wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with that scoundrel Lu Chen."
This...
Xuan Qingyun had always thought that breaking through to realms beyond the Immortal Emperor would enable her to leave Tianyan Immortal Domain. Yet now she was told that even surpassing the Immortal Emperor’s realm wouldn’t allow her to leave.
What concerned Xuan Qingyun the most was that Immortal Emperor Youlan mentioned they had collaborated with Lu Chen.
What kind of collaboration could they have had with Lu Chen?
At this point, Immortal Emperor Youlan conveyed a message, "Let’s stop here for today, you may return now, and you will understand everything when the calamity arrives."
Xuan Qingyun quickly regained her composure and immediately inquired, "Wait, can you tell me what kind of cooperation we had with Lu Chen?"
Immortal Emperor Youlan answered, "You don’t need to know so much for now; just ensure you keep your distance from Lu Chen."
"What I can tell you is that all of Lu Chen’s women come from the Deceit Realm; they’re all of our kind."
Xuan Qingyun was somewhat bewildered; she didn’t expect to have so many kindred spirits?
Lu Chen’s many women, they’re all of her kin?
Why does Lu Chen tend to be fixated on her kin?
Immortal Emperor Youlan said nothing further, and when Xuan Qingyun came to her senses, she found herself high above outside the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Xuan Qingyun glanced at the surrounding clouds, her gaze settling again on the forbidden grounds of Mysterious Moon Palace, then without lingering further, she returned directly to the Northern Domain.
Though she still harbored some doubts about the words of Immortal Emperor Youlan, she had come to accept the majority of it.
With the reminder from Immortal Emperor Youlan, she started recalling some vague scenes, and although those memory images were quite indistinct, she could mostly confirm her identity as a mysterious lifeform.
Now she just awaited the calamity that Immortal Emperor Youlan mentioned.
...
Deceit Realm.
In a domain of dim and distorted space, the space continually twisted and transformed but did not shatter, in the center of this domain lay a massive pill furnace.
The pill furnace was shrouded in black mist, perpetually emitting mysterious power, and before the pill furnace, a mysterious lifeform clothed in black, with only its skeletal frame left, sat within the void.
The mysterious lifeform couldn’t help but murmur to itself, studying the pill furnace, "It should be successful soon."
"To be safe, it’s best to wait a bit longer."
...
In the blink of an eye, another century had passed, yet Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s unborn child remained in the womb, and none of his other women had conceived either.
The mysterious power’s erosion of the cultivation path became more severe, but fortunately, Lu Chen’s cultivation continued to improve. Additionally, now that no force in Tianyan Immortal Domain dared act against him, he used the Heaven Opening Seal to recklessly absorb the Qi Fortune of Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Previously, he would put on a show to absorb the Qi Fortune of Tianyan Immortal Domain, but upon realizing that no one was paying attention, he grew increasingly audacious.
In just a hundred years’ time, his cultivation ascended to the Immortal Venerate Realm, and was still climbing frenziedly.
Lu Chen’s exceedingly rapid cultivation progress made the Hidden Moon Sect Leader and Blood Ancestor restless, especially Blood Ancestor, who dared not wait any longer; continued waiting would likely mean he’ll no longer be a match for Lu Chen.
The Daqin Immortal Dynasty.
Inside the cultivation room.
Lu Chen sat cross-legged in the center of a cultivation room crafted from Immortal Crystals, feeling the strength within his body, involuntarily a smile appeared on his face.
Just then, he suddenly recalled something, the smile instantly faded from his face.
Throughout the century, although he had been engaged in dual cultivation with Yun Yudie and the others, none had conceived, compounded by Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s child remaining unborn. On top of that, he hadn’t sought out the system either, which made it so that he hadn’t heard the system’s voice for almost a century.
Lu Chen couldn’t help but wonder; since he hadn’t proactively contacted the system, and the system hadn’t prompted him in any way, could it be that the system had run away?
With this thought, Lu Chen tentatively called in his mind, "System?"
"Do you have any queries, Host?"
Upon hearing the system’s serene female voice, Lu Chen exhaled a small sigh of relief; fortunately, the system was still around.
He had thought that suspecting the system to be a plot by mysterious lifeforms might have led to the system vanishing altogether.
The system still being present, did this mean it wasn’t a conspiracy by mysterious lifeforms backing the system?
Lu Chen continued asking, "System, why haven’t my wives been able to conceive?"
