Chapter 1614 The Secret Realm Arrangement, Li Qian's Anger

"Why are you all here?" Jiang Chen turned his head and saw Shi Yi and the others flying over.

“We just heard a loud noise, so we came to check it out,” Shi Yi said.

Jiang Nansun and the others also looked at Jiang Chen.

Clearly, they have the same goal.

"During this trip to the Second World, as my family's fortune increased, I obtained a Level 1 Secret Realm, which I have now set up here." Jiang Chen introduced the Level 1 Secret Realm as he spoke.

"Secret realm?"

The women looked at each other.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "There are no secret realms in the first, second, and third worlds, but I know there are secret realms in the Dou Qi Continent and Tiannan Continent in the fourth world. And the secret realm that has been set up now is a secret realm that belongs exclusively to our Jiang family."

“Therefore, we can search for resources in the secret realm,” Jiang Nansun said.

"Not only can we find resources, but the secret realm also harbors ferocious beasts and demonic creatures," Jiang Chen said.

"Does my husband mean to use the level one secret realm for training troops?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "The Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards need to experience real combat to improve their combat power, including the ferocious beasts and monsters in the secret realm. Therefore, if you want to practice combat, the secret realm is the best choice. However, there are restrictions on the first-level secret realm. Martial God Realm warriors cannot enter, so I cannot enter the first-level secret realm."

"When can we enter?" Meng Qianxue asked.

“The Level 1 secret realm has just been set up. As long as the patriarch's seal is used to open it, it can be entered at any time. However, after it closes, it will be ten years before it can be opened again,” Jiang Chen said.

"Ten years later?" The women were slightly taken aback.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and explained the matter of the portal fusion talisman: "So, although ten years is a long time, it will pass quickly."

"So, as long as we go to other worlds, we can also enter and leave the Daming Palace?" Jiang Nansun asked excitedly.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "This ability only comes after the family's fortune increases. Next, we will go to the Fourth World. Once the time comes to go to the Fourth World, we only need to open the Nine Immortal Gate. However, after opening the Nine Immortal Gate, the Phoenix Gate cannot be opened, nor can we enter the Spirit Realm and the First World. Only when the time in the Fourth World is up, and the Nine Immortal Gate is completely closed using the Family Head's Seal, can the Phoenix Gate be opened to enter the First World and the Spirit Realm."

"Completely open it up?" Jiang Nansun asked.

“That’s right.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Danfeng Gate leads to the First World, Wangxian Gate leads to the Second World, Jianfu Gate leads to the Third World, and Jiuxian Gate leads to the Fourth World. However, these gates cannot be opened freely with identity tokens from the beginning. You must first open them with the Clan Head’s Seal, and then you can enter and exit freely with your identity tokens.”

After installing the portal fusion talisman, Jiang Chen obtained a lot of relevant information.

Among them is the seal of the head of the household.

Simply put, the Clan Head's Seal is the key to opening the Phoenix Gate, the Immortal Gazing Gate, the Blessing Gate, and the Nine Immortals Gate. Opening one of these gates with the Clan Head's Seal locks the other three.

The role of the family head's seal was also to strengthen Jiang Chen's control over the Daming Palace.

This means that only Jiang Chen has the right to open up different worlds.

For Jiang Chen, this is a good thing.

"Doesn't this mean that the Daming Palace is the intersection of several worlds?" Shi Yi said.

"If the Daming Palace is the intersection of several worlds, then this Daming Palace is probably not simple, right?" After following Jiang Chen, Yu Qingqing had read quite a few novels in the First World, including time-travel and fantasy novels. So when she heard Shi Yi's words, she immediately understood.

Her eyes were sparkling at that moment.

“I also think that Daming Palace is not simple. Perhaps with the increase of its fortune, Daming Palace will undergo different changes.” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “However, for us, this is a good thing.”

With the Daming Palace, they had a safe place in different worlds.

More importantly, when there's no downtime, the Star Riders and Eagle Guards can train for extended periods at the Mulan Hunting Grounds, reducing the consumption of gold and silver spirit stones.

“That’s true.” The women understood what Jiang Chen meant.

“Training in secret realms is inevitable.”

Jiang Chen said, "More importantly, I want to use the secret realm to train low-level spirit cannons."

"Training low-level spirit cannons?" The women were slightly taken aback.

“Yes, we don’t have a place to train low-level spirit cannons in the Mulan Hunting Grounds, so we can only train them in the secret realm.” Jiang Chen nodded.

A single strike from a low-level spirit cannon is equivalent to a full-force strike from a Martial Emperor. Not only the Mulan Hunting Grounds, but also the Second World and the Third World, cannot withstand a single strike from a low-level spirit cannon.

Only the Fourth World can withstand a single hit from a low-level spirit cannon.

"That would be best." Mu Nihuang and the other female generals leading the Star Cavalry and Eagle Armor Guards all nodded.

"Of course, the most important thing about the secret realm is to train individual strength," Jiang Chen continued. "It's also to find various resources, so we must send personnel into the secret realm after determining our objectives."

Jiang Chen wasn't entirely sure how many resources a level-one secret realm contained, but he understood that for the Jiang family right now, those resources were absolutely essential.

"How many people should we send into the secret realm the first time?" Jiang Nansun asked.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I plan to send about 5,000 people into the secret realm for the first time. Among them, there will be at least 2,000 Star Riders and at least 2,000 Eagle Armor Guards. The rest can sign up themselves. Hmm, Han Shiyi, you, Mu Nihuang, and Huo Xuan will be in charge of this matter. Also, my strength has already reached the Martial God Realm, so I can't enter the secret realm, but my clone can. Therefore, I will send my clone into the secret realm."

"As for entering the secret realm? It will be in three days. It doesn't matter if others haven't gone yet, there will be other secret realms being developed in a while. In these three days, we will check equipment, distribute pills, and so on."

It is currently the time of the First World, so Jiang Chen does not intend to let the Jiang family women who work in the First World (referring to Shi Yi, Jiang Nansun, and others) enter the secret realm.

Jiang Chen wasn't worried about his own women, after all, they had the Flowing Cloud Dress. And the Flowing Cloud Dress could withstand attacks. If hit by a martial artist, those below the Grandmaster level would have full defense, a Grandmaster's internal energy could neutralize 80%, a Martial King's internal energy could neutralize 40%, and a Martial Emperor's internal energy could neutralize 20%.

The Phoenix Feather of the Universe has now broken two seals and is now the trump card of all the women.

However, the Plum Blossom Guard's Rainbow Feather Robe is currently too weak in defense. A low-grade Rainbow Feather Robe can neutralize 40% of a first-rate martial artist's internal energy. A high-grade Rainbow Feather Robe can neutralize 60% of a first-rate martial artist's internal energy and 30% of a Xiantian martial artist's internal energy.

For the Plum Blossom Inner Guards, it's just for show.

The Jinyiwei's flying fish robes are similar. A third-class flying fish robe can neutralize 10% of a first-class martial artist's internal energy. A second-class flying fish robe can neutralize 30% of a first-class martial artist's internal energy, and a first-class flying fish robe can neutralize 50% of a first-class martial artist's internal energy.

Even the most heavily armored cavalry can only hold off second-rate warriors.

This kind of equipment doesn't offer much protection in secret realms.

Jiang Chen understood that the equipment of the Plum Blossom Guards, Embroidered Uniform Guards, Star Cavalry, and Eagle Armor Guards was outdated, and they would have to upgrade their equipment in the Fourth World.

Therefore, Jiang Chen must prepare enough talismans and formations as his trump cards.

Fortunately, in the Fourth World, those talismans and formations could be sold for money, so the family had prepared a lot during this time. Now, because of the appearance of the secret realm, they can be distributed to those who enter the secret realm to ensure their safety.

Of course, Jiang Chen understood as well.

In secret realms, there is no absolute safety, and casualties are inevitable.

But Jiang Chen would never prevent everyone from entering the secret realm because of its dangers.

Because the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold, and the sharpest sword is forged through tempering. How can one see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Life is only complete after going through hardships.

"Okay," Han Shiyi, Mu Nihuang, and Huo Xuan replied.

"Should we select the strongest Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"No, half strong and half weak." The purpose of going to the secret realm is to train troops. If only strong individuals are sent, the training objective will not be achieved. What he wants is to increase the overall strength of the Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards.

As for the Plum Blossom Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they can also gather intelligence and find various resources in the secret realm.

"Okay." Mu Nihuang understood Jiang Chen's meaning.

"Let's go back to Daming Palace." Jiang Chen had considered taking all the level one secret realms and placing them in the Mulan Hunting Grounds, then dividing everyone into six groups and sending them to the secret realms together. However, this wouldn't maximize the use of the secret realms.

Therefore, the placement of the next level-one secret realm and the arrangement of entry will have to be decided after the first batch of people enter and come out of the secret realm.

Soon, the group arrived at Daming Palace.

Apart from Jinzhi and Sheng Hualan, the rest of the group went home. Jian Anjie, Tang Lili, and Liu Yin, although this was only their second time visiting Daming Palace, were not as flustered due to their experience in the Second World.

The next day, Ye Caiwei, Xu Shiqing, Chen Xin and others found Jiang Chen.

"Are you going back?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, I already booked the plane tickets," Ye Caiwei replied.

"Alright. I'll come back when I have time." The First World is definitely more comfortable than the Second World; even without flying, you can use sword flight and invisibility talismans.

"Mm." Ye Caiwei and the other women nodded.

As Ye Caiwei and the others left, Tian Ye and the others who went to work in other places also left.

Even Jiang Nansun and others who worked in Shanghai left.

……

"Hualan, how are you feeling now?" After Ye Caiwei and the others left, Jiang Chen found Sheng Hualan.

"Duke Yongguo, is this place really as Minglan described?" Sheng Hualan asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Minglan has traveled with me through several worlds. Last year (in the second world time), you should have noticed the changes in Minglan in Kaifeng Prefecture, right?"

“Yes.” Sheng Hualan did not deny it.

When he saw Sheng Minglan again in Kaifeng last year (Second World Time), he clearly sensed a difference in her. He had previously thought it was because Sheng Minglan had become the concubine of the Duke of Yongguo, but now it seemed it was because she had gone to another world.

"Are you worried about Sister Zhuang?" Jiang Chen asked.

Sheng Hualan didn't speak, but she tacitly agreed.

“Zhuang Jie’er is not you. After arriving in the First World this time, it will be three years before we go to the Second World. And while we are in the First World, time in the Second World is frozen. If Zhuang Jie’er came, she would be too old by the time we return. It would be difficult to explain to others if they saw her then,” Jiang Chen explained.

“This…” Sheng Hualan was slightly taken aback.

“I have no reason to lie to you, and besides, you have no choice but to accept it now,” Jiang Chen said.

Sheng Hualan fell silent.

Jiang Chen is right.

After being... you know... by Jiang Chen, she had no choice.

"Don't think too much about it." Jiang Chen stepped forward and hugged Sheng Hualan.

"Don't go here." Sheng Hualan struggled.

“This isn’t the Second World, nobody knows you here, so don’t worry.” Jiang Chen had calculated that it would take about three years to go from the First World and the Fourth World to the Second World. And Sheng Hualan hadn’t been married to Yuan Wenshao for many years either.

Therefore, even if Jiang Chen only had limited time to spend with Sheng Hualan, he could still completely win her over in three years.

Sheng Hualan was slightly taken aback.

Sheng Minglan knew about her relationship with Jiang Chen.

However, Sheng Minglan's attitude remained unchanged: neither interfering nor refusing. Jiang Chen's women, too, showed no surprise.

“If you’re willing, I can tell everyone in the Jiang family,” Jiang Chen said.

"No way." Sheng Hualan felt too ashamed to face anyone if Sheng Minglan found out. What would happen if the rest of the Jiang family found out? She really couldn't face anyone.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. However, he already had quite a few women who weren’t officially recognized, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

Sheng Hualan was relieved to hear this.

"You didn't sleep last night, did you?" Jiang Chen asked.

Sheng Hualan nodded.

Last night, she followed Sheng Minglan to Daming Palace. Everything was so unexpected, how could she possibly sleep?

"Shall we go and rest for a bit?" Jiang Chen wasn't sleepy at the moment, but he didn't mind deepening his relationship with Sheng Hualan.

“Ah…” Sheng Hualan was dumbfounded.

Before Sheng Hualan could react, Jiang Chen had already picked her up and carried her inside.

"you you……"

Sheng Hualan only realized what was happening at this moment, her heart pounding wildly.

She never imagined that Jiang Chen would do this in broad daylight...

“I wasn’t quite done having fun at Jingxiu Villa, so today I’m definitely going to…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning he was expressing was already quite clear.

"no……"

Sheng Hualan refused.

But Sheng Hualan's rejection meant nothing to Jiang Chen.

Soon, indescribable sounds rang out from the bed.

……

Around noon, Jiang Chen arrived at Xingchen Group.

"President Jiang, why are you so happy today?" Li Qian asked as she entered the president's office.

"I'm naturally happy to see you come in." Why was Jiang Chen happy? Naturally, it was because Sheng Hualan had served him well this morning. However, Jiang Chen wouldn't say that in front of Li Qian.

“You…” Li Qian glared at Jiang Chen.

"Are you unhappy to see me?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Of course.” Li Qian replied without hesitation.

Jiang Chen stood up and walked towards Li Qian.

"What... what do you want to do?" Li Qian was startled.

"What do you think I want to do?" Jiang Chen asked without stopping, and soon arrived in front of Li Qian.

"How would I know?" Li Qian's eyes darted around, and she said, "President Jiang, I'm here to report on my work."

"Then come and report to me in my arms," ​​Jiang Chen said.

"You're dreaming." Li Qian glared at Jiang Chen.

"Dreaming?" Jiang Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. "What I'm best at is making dreams come true."

"Hmph." Li Qian naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant, and immediately snorted.

"What does 'humph' mean? Does it mean I'm willing?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You actually came up with this?" Li Qian rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Am I very smart?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Smart?" Li Qian glared at Jiang Chen.

"Isn't that right? If I weren't smart, would there be a Star Group? If I weren't smart, would I be able to hold you now?" Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

However, what Jiang Chen said was also true.

Without capability, there would be no Star Group.

Without the Star Group, how could a woman like Li Qian stay by your side, let alone be put in your arms or have her lipstick eaten?

“You…” Li Qian raised her foot and stomped on Jiang Chen’s foot.

"It smells so good." Jiang Chen moved closer to Li Qian and took a deep breath.

Li Qian's face flushed red instantly.

Jiang Chen lifted Li Qian's chin and lowered his head to kiss her.

Li Qian's eyes showed a moment of struggle, then she closed her eyes.

Upon seeing this, a smile flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Li Qian's reaction was exactly what he expected.

However, although he told Li Qian that he had many women, Li Qian did not believe him.

This also means that if I confront Li Qian later, there might be trouble.

After a long while, Jiang Chen finally released Li Qian.

"Now you can report on your work." Jiang Chen looked at Li Qian with a smile.

“…” Li Qian glared at Jiang Chen.

However, under Jiang Chen's gaze, Li Qian could only report on her work.

After reporting on her work, Li Qian said, "President Jiang, tomorrow is National Day. We can have the holiday after get off work this afternoon. What other plans does the company have?"

"No."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "But, has the duty roster been arranged?"

Xingchen Group is a large company, so naturally not everyone will have a week off for National Day.

Even on October 1st, Xingchen Group had staff on duty. After the 3rd, at least half of the company staff were working.

As for Jiang Chen himself, he could come and go as he pleased.

“It’s all arranged,” Li Qian replied.

"That's good." Jiang Chen said while processing the documents, "Secretary Li, what are your plans for the National Day holiday?"

"Why are you asking this?" Li Qian looked at Jiang Chen warily.

"Just asking," Jiang Chen said.

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Li Qian rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you believe me? I'm being so sincere." Jiang Chen looked like a victim.

Unfortunately, Li Qian wasn't buying it and said, "Mr. Jiang, I need to go back to work."

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that Li Qian was about to leave the president's office, Jiang Chen quickly called her back.
