Starting as pearl divers, they have endless jobs.

Chapter 82 All three of you, come at me together!
Soon, these three carefully selected beauties, filled with trepidation and anticipation, were sent together to the emperor's bedchamber.

They were all the pride of their respective sects, shouldering the heavy responsibility of bringing glory to their families.

However, when they actually faced Chen Ye, they understood why the sect attached such importance to this matter.

This man exudes an incredibly powerful aura.

Just by getting close, the invisible pressure caused their inner energy to stagnate and made it difficult for them to breathe.

"Your Majesty!" The three women forced themselves to remain calm and bowed.

Chen Ye simply waved his hand and said, "Rise."

After the three women had finished rising, Chen Ye carefully examined them and suddenly became interested.

What are you guys best at practicing?

The three women were somewhat taken aback, not understanding what the Emperor meant by suddenly asking this question, but they still quickly answered.

"I am skilled in swordsmanship."

"I practice palm techniques."

"I mainly practice lightness skills."

Chen Ye nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go outside and have a spar."

The three women were completely dumbfounded.

A fight? Against the Emperor?

However, they had no choice but to obey Chen Ye's orders, so they reluctantly went to the training ground outside.

Upon arriving, Chen Ye stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he said, "The three of you can come at me together. Don't hold back, attack boldly, and let me see what you're capable of."

The three women exchanged glances, but none of them dared to make a move.

"Don't worry, just do what I say. Don't worry about hurting me. And whoever touches me, I will make them my empress." Chen Ye used his trump card.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, all three women's eyes lit up.

Make her Empress!

That was something the sect had repeatedly instructed them to do before they left, so the three women immediately put aside their worries, let out a delicate shout, and rushed over together.

As a result, Chen Ye just stood there quietly, without even using his hands, and dodged the three women's attack purely by his footwork.

The three women were somewhat unwilling to give up and tried again, but the result was still the same.

In the end, the three women collapsed on the ground from exhaustion without ever touching Chen Ye's clothes.

However, Chen Ye did not come away empty-handed.

With his extraordinary talent of Martial Arts Heavenly Heart, Chen Ye's martial arts skills have become increasingly profound. Even though the three women are far weaker than him, their habits of exerting force and making moves are completely different from those of men. This has given Chen Ye some useful insights.

Looking at the three women lying on the ground panting, Chen Ye smiled slightly, "Not bad. Although your stamina is lacking, it's not bad for you women."

With that, Chen Ye waved his hand, ordering the eunuchs to carry the three women back to his palace, and then they fought again.

This battle was even more intense, with Chen Ye taking on three women single-handedly, forcing them to beg for mercy.

The next day, when the palace maids carefully pushed open the palace door, the three empresses lay on the bed, their pretty faces ashen, and they didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

As for Chen Ye, he had already gone to the morning court session feeling refreshed and energetic.

After this battle, the three women finally understood that the rumors were true.

Because ordinary women probably wouldn't even have the right to beg for mercy.

Even they, the three of them together, could barely withstand the Emperor's "dragon might".

However, the results were astonishing.

Just a few months later, the three newly appointed empresses became pregnant with the emperor's children one after another. After ten months of pregnancy, the babies were born.

Two princes and one princess were born one after another.

When the news spread, the entire court, especially the military generals, was in an uproar.

They had all followed Chen Ye through countless battles, fighting their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They were Chen Ye’s most loyal supporters. Now that His Majesty had a worthy successor, they were naturally happier than anyone else.

After all, the existence of an heir in the royal family means that the foundation of the country is stable and that the empire they have built will have a successor!

Even General Meng Yi, who was enjoying his retirement in his hometown, drank a few more cups after hearing the news.

Chen Ye was also very happy.

He issued an edict for universal celebration and for the people to share in the joy.

However, from then on, Chen Ye gradually reduced his appearances in the court, delegating more and more government affairs to the cabinet, while he remained behind the scenes, controlling the course of the great ship of Chen.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

During this period, several more concubines of similar distinguished birth were added to the harem, and they gave birth to more than ten princes and princesses for Chen Ye.

After observing all the children in secret for many years, Chen Ye finally chose the most intelligent and decisive second prince and made him the crown prince when he was ten years old.

Now, the prince has grown into a young man.

Under Chen Ye's careful guidance and personal guidance, this young crown prince not only possessed outstanding abilities but also accumulated sufficient prestige in the court and among the people, enough to intimidate those arrogant and fierce generals and cunning civil officials.

Chen Ye finally felt a bit tired.

It is not physical aging.

After being promoted to Grandmaster of the Divine Realm, time seemed to have no effect on him. Twenty years later, his appearance was almost unchanged compared to when he ascended the throne.

But after so long confined to this magnificent cage, dealing with similar memorials day after day and seeing the same faces, he was getting quite tired of it.

On this day, Chen Ye summoned his ministers and announced that he had made some progress in martial arts and needed to go into seclusion to seek a breakthrough.

Then, disregarding the tearful pleas of the Crown Prince and his ministers, he resolutely passed the throne to the Crown Prince.

After a grand abdication ceremony, the founding emperor disappeared from everyone's sight.

In reality, Chen Ye did not go into seclusion. Instead, he changed into simple clothes and quietly left the palace.

After twenty years of arduous training, Chen Ye's strength has become increasingly unfathomable, and his control over his physical body has reached a level of subtlety. His height and physique have been compressed to be indistinguishable from ordinary people, so he can blend into a crowd without being noticeable.

Chen Ye wanted to see with his own eyes what the empire he had built up looked like.

So he traveled from east to west and from south to north, like an ordinary traveler, traversing every inch of Dachen.

He had tasted the boat snacks of Jiangnan and also enjoyed the roasted lamb of the North.

He would visit those martial arts masters who lived in seclusion in the mountains with great interest, and politely exchange skills with them.

With Chen Ye's current understanding of martial arts, he doesn't need to deliberately cultivate. He can simply fight with others to grasp the essence of their martial arts and use it as nourishment to continuously enrich his own martial arts foundation.

The journey was filled with stops and sightseeing, and the experience was quite rewarding.

During this time, Chen Ye also secretly observed whether the system he had established was functioning properly.

He was quite satisfied with the result.

Although there are bound to be officials who hold positions without merit and exploit the people, the existence of the oversight system prevents them from going too far.

More importantly, the people are indeed living a peaceful life they haven't had in hundreds of years, and their faces are beaming with genuine smiles.

In fact, Chen Ye was well aware that any system would become corrupt and have problems after running for a long time, but he had already laid a solid foundation for this dynasty.

As for what the future holds, that is a test that future generations will have to face.
