More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Lu Chen said impatiently, "Let me see one of the strange beads."

Without any hesitation, Zhao Yu took out a strange bead emanating a bluish-black spiritual aura from his sleeve.

The moment the mysterious pearl was taken out, Lu Chen felt a dull ache all over his body. This spiritual energy was already harming his body even before he had absorbed it. If he were to absorb it into his body, it would probably cause even more pain.

Seeing Lu Chen's expression change slightly, Zhao Yu reminded him, "Young Master, normally, a spiritual martial artist of a certain realm absorbs the spiritual energy from the corpses of strange and evil spirits of the same realm. However, some geniuses have a higher resistance to spiritual energy, and they usually absorb the spiritual energy from the corpses of strange spirits of other realms."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."

At this point, Lu Chen took the Ghost Pearl from Zhao Yu's hand and began to absorb the spiritual energy within it. However, after absorbing just a little bit, he felt as if his entire body was being stabbed repeatedly with knives.

The pain in his body was even more intense than when he absorbed the spiritual energy from the lantern ghost's corpse yesterday. If this continued, he wondered if he would faint from the pain.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong, and although he was in great pain, he was still able to endure it.

Seeing Lu Chen frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the strange pearl, Zhao Yu originally wanted to remind Lu Chen to slow down, but seeing the bitter look on Lu Chen's face, he dared not disturb Lu Chen directly, fearing that disturbing Lu Chen now would cause him to suffer the backlash of the spiritual energy.

After a while, Lu Chen calmed the restless spiritual energy within his body and stopped absorbing the spiritual energy from the Ghost Pearl. He looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Provide me with one Ghost Pearl of the Spirit Realm every day from now on."

This……

After a moment of surprise, Zhao Yu quickly said, "Young Master, it usually takes several months for a Spirit Realm martial artist to absorb a single Ghost Pearl. You are only at the early stage of the Human Realm. If you absorb the spiritual energy within the Ghost Pearl too quickly, you may suffer a backlash from the spiritual energy."

Others take months to absorb one Ghost Pearl, but Lu Chen wants to absorb one in a day, which is no different from courting death.

Lu Chen said, "Commander Zhao, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. If my body can't handle it, I will stop absorbing spiritual energy immediately."

Seeing Lu Chen say this, Zhao Yu didn't say anything more. He planned to tell the Prince of Zhennan about this later and ask the Prince of Zhennan to advise Lu Chen.

Although he was an important figure in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, he was not the master after all, so it was normal that his words had no effect in front of Lu Chen. However, the Prince of Zhennan was Lu Chen's father, and Lu Chen had to listen to what the Prince of Zhennan said.

Lu Chen did not stay in the underground prison any longer. He then turned around and left the dimly lit underground prison. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, a maid rushed to Lu Chen and said, "Your Highness, there is an imperial decree of yours. The eunuch who delivered the decree is already waiting in the council hall."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. Was there an imperial decree from him?
What was the purpose of the imperial edict issued to him by Emperor Zhou?
Lu Chen then went to the council hall of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, the imperial eunuch immediately opened the imperial edict and began to read it aloud.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Lu Chen, the heir apparent of the Prince of Zhennan, is of noble birth, upright and prudent in character, and exceptionally talented. He is hereby appointed as a junior officer in the Zhengui Division. It is hoped that you will grow up quickly and live up to the name of the heir apparent of the Prince of Zhennan."

Upon hearing this imperial edict, everyone in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion paled.

Lu Chen is only at the early stage of the Human Realm. Sending him into the Zhengui Division is like sending him to his death.

Of course, there are many Zhengui Guards in the Zhengui Division who are not even in the Human Realm, but what is Lu Chen's identity? He is the only heir of the Zhennan King. If anything happens to him, the Zhennan King will be without an heir.

The emperor actually sent him to such a dangerous place as the Zhengui Division. Isn't this just trying to make the Prince of Zhennan die without an heir?
Zhao Yu immediately emerged from the shadows, his face dark, and released his aura. In an instant, the hall was filled with spiritual energy, and a terrifying pressure directly pushed the eunuch who was delivering the decree to the ground.

"Your Excellency, are you sure this is His Majesty's decree?"

"As far as I know, His Majesty has been staying in the Wanshou Hall to cultivate, so why would he suddenly issue an edict ordering our Crown Prince to go to the Zhengui Division?" "Could it be that someone fabricated an imperial edict to harm our Crown Prince!"

Sensing Zhao Yu's imposing aura, the eunuch delivering the decree trembled with fear, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

The eunuch delivering the decree hurriedly said, "This servant did indeed receive the imperial decree from His Majesty. Please verify this, Your Excellency."

Judging from the manner of the eunuch delivering the imperial decree, he didn't seem to be lying, but Zhao Yu still didn't conceal his aura.

If this imperial edict was indeed issued by Emperor Zhou, then it means that Emperor Zhou wanted to use this opportunity to test Prince Zhennan and see if Prince Zhennan's mansion was really on the verge of collapse.

If it were during the peak of Zhennan King's power, Emperor Zhou would never have issued such an imperial edict. After all, Lu Chen was Zhennan King's only son, and if anything happened to him, Zhennan King would definitely overthrow the entire capital.

What Zhao Yu couldn't understand was why the Zhou royal family was in such a hurry to kill Lu Chen.

The Prince of Zhennan is still alive. If something happens to Lu Chen at this time, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion can also fight to the death with the Zhou royal family.

If the Zhou royal family wanted to get rid of Lu Chen, why not wait until the Prince of Zhennan passed away before issuing this imperial edict? What is the Zhou emperor in such a hurry for?
Lu Chen glanced at the eunuch lying on the ground, then said to Zhao Yu, "Commander Zhao, that's enough."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhao Yu calmed down. Lu Chen went to the eunuch and bent down to pick up the imperial edict from the ground.

Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you cannot accept this imperial edict!"

Lu Chen is now at the Human Realm. If he were in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and with the Obscure Light Pearl, it would be difficult for outsiders to discover his true realm. However, once he goes to the Zhengui Division, the powerful figures there will definitely be able to sense Lu Chen's true realm.

At that point, the Zhou royal family will probably be even more eager to get rid of Lu Chen.

Moreover, Emperor Zhou's issuance of this imperial edict was not motivated by good intentions.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Does Commander Zhao believe that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion still has the strength to refuse the imperial edict?"

Zhao Yu was stunned.

Now that the Prince of Zhennan is in imminent danger and the Prince of Zhennan's mansion is in disarray, they certainly do not have the confidence to refuse the imperial edict.

If the Prince of Zhennan were still at his peak, let alone refusing the imperial edict, even if the Prince of Zhennan went to the palace and scolded the Emperor, the Emperor would not dare to do anything.

What now?
Are we really going to send Lu Chen to a dangerous place like the Zhen Gui Si?

After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Chen said to the eunuch who delivered it, "Go back and tell His Majesty that I will live up to His Majesty's expectations, grow up as quickly as possible, and not disgrace the reputation of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

The eunuch quickly scrambled to his feet, looking visibly shaken, and said, "Yes, yes, this servant will certainly convey the young master's message."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch quickly turned and fled the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. (End of Chapter)
