Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Hearing the tablet computer next to him beeping incessantly, half of Lu Chen's thoughts instantly vanished.

Bai Qingqing quickly apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I should have turned off my phone."

Lu Chen said, "It's nothing. There must be some new information. Let's see what it is."

Bai Qingqing immediately opened the tablet, checked the emails on it, and after reading the contents, she quickly handed the tablet to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at the email and immediately frowned, his previous interest vanishing instantly.

The intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard states that a powerful figure at the level of an emperor has allegedly entered the Great Xia Dynasty.

This matter was discovered by Emperor Huangshan.

At first, no one noticed the emperor, since it would be too easy for an emperor-level being to hide his aura.

However, for some reason, the emperor's aura suddenly leaked out, and he was also emanating a thick death aura. Not to mention quasi-emperors, even saintly cultivators could sense the thick death aura on his body.

Upon realizing that the old man was a Great Emperor, Emperor Huangshan immediately informed the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who promptly reported the matter.

Lu Chen wondered to himself, "What kind of emperor has come to the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Could it be Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua?

The intelligence he had seen earlier mentioned that the Qingyun Dynasty was looking for the two of them. As it turned out, an old man and a woman appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the old man was actually a Great Emperor.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen decided to go and see the two of them.

He happened to have a puppet clone in the Heavenly Fire World, so he sent the puppet clone to take a look.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen sat on the bed and focused all his energy on the puppet, controlling the puppet clone to go to the hotel mentioned in the intelligence.

The brothel.

An elderly man and a young woman sat by the window in a private room, quietly watching the bustling traffic outside.

After a long pause, Pei Shuhua finally spoke, saying, "I never imagined that the Great Xia Dynasty would be even more prosperous than I had imagined."

Since entering the star field of the Great Xia Dynasty, Pei Shuhua and Pei Tianlu have been filled with shock along the way.

Whether it was the strange and unusual things of the Great Xia Dynasty, or some of its management systems, especially its attitude towards mortals, everything about the Great Xia Dynasty seemed incredible to the two of them.

Of course, what surprised them the most was the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Great Xia Dynasty was already close to the edge of the universe, where the spiritual energy was very thin. But even in such a place, the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty was close to that of the dynasties in the central star field.

Pei Shuhua is now filled with curiosity about the so-called Summer Emperor. She wants to know what kind of person he is, that he could have so many wonderful ideas and that he could make such a prosperous remote star region in the universe.

Pei Tianlu picked up the strong liquor on the table, poured himself a glass, and then grinned as he downed it in one gulp. "This Xia Tiandi is no simple man."

"Based on the information we've gathered, he's at most at the Great Emperor realm, and it's highly likely he just broke through to the Great Emperor realm."

"A person who has just broken through to the Great Emperor level dares to call himself the Heavenly Emperor. This is not something an ordinary person would dare to do."

There are nine levels of Great Emperors, and above the Great Emperors is the Heavenly Emperor. Countless people want to take that step and become the Heavenly Emperor, but so far, no Heavenly Emperor has ever appeared in the entire universe.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the universe, and when the Heavenly Emperor appears in this universe, the path to immortality can be opened.

Not just anyone is qualified to be the Lord of the Universe. If anyone dares to call himself the Heavenly Emperor, other Great Emperors might challenge the false Heavenly Emperor.

Pei Tianlu couldn't believe that someone who could develop the dynasty into such a prosperous place would be a clueless idiot.

Since he's not a hothead, the fact that he dares to call himself the Heavenly Emperor shows that he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Pei Shuhua said with some concern, "He shouldn't have noticed that we've come to the Great Xia Dynasty, right?"

Pei Tianlu frowned and poured himself another glass of wine. He found the wine from the Great Xia Dynasty quite delicious, as this was the first time he had ever tasted such a wonderful wine.

After drinking another glass of wine, Pei Tianlu finally spoke, "The dark power within me sometimes goes berserk, and he might be able to sense the aura it emits. Perhaps he already knows of our existence."

No sooner had Pei Tianlu finished speaking than a voice came from inside the hotel room, "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

"Welcome to the Great Xia Dynasty, guests of the Crimson Moon Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua immediately stood up, and her aura instantly emanated outwards.

Lu Chen then said, "My friend, you are currently in a mortal community. Those mortals cannot withstand the pressure of your Quasi-Emperor status."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Pei Tianlu hurriedly said to Pei Shuhua, "Shuhua, conceal your aura."

Upon hearing Pei Tianlu's words, Pei Shuhua then restrained her aura, but she still cautiously observed her surroundings.

At that moment, a figure slowly appeared in the private room.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with her hair tied in a single ponytail, the strands of which fluttered in the wind, exuding a sense of unruliness and freedom.

Pei Shuhua asked warily, "May I ask who you are? And why are you in our private room?"

Pei Shuhua and Pei Tianlu could both sense that the person in front of them was only at the fifth level of the Saint realm. Logically speaking, since they had concealed their aura, if the other party was only at the fifth level of the Saint realm, then it was highly likely that they would not be able to discover their identities.

For some reason, the man in front of me always gave off a strange feeling, as if he were a puppet.

Lu Chen replied calmly, "You two were just talking about me, and now you're asking who I am."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua were both stunned.

I?

Is this the Summer Emperor?

How is that possible?

They assumed that Emperor Xia Tian's strength was at least at the Great Emperor level.

Although there are rumors in the Great Xia Dynasty that the Heavenly Emperor was just a saint, and that he was able to establish the dynasty because he had a great emperor behind him.

However, as members of the imperial court, Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua knew very well that the only emperor who could establish a dynasty was the Great Emperor.

If one is not an emperor, one cannot gain the approval of the origin of the universe.

A dynasty that has not gained the recognition of the universe will soon attract all sorts of disasters. However, the Great Xia Dynasty is so prosperous now, which means that it has clearly gained the recognition of the origin of the universe. How could the Heavenly Emperor be just a saint?

The two quickly realized that Emperor Xia Tian might have been hiding his cultivation level.

The moment this idea appeared in their minds, they dismissed the conjecture, because the Dao aura of a sage is different from that of an emperor, and the Dao aura emanating from the person in front of them was clearly that of a sage.

If he completely conceals his aura, even his Daoist charm, they might not be able to judge his cultivation level for a while.

However, this person made no attempt to conceal his aura, and with the Daoist energy flowing around him, they couldn't believe they were mistaken.

But how could a sage possibly be the Heavenly Emperor? (End of Chapter)
