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

After hearing what the Heavenly Secret Woman said, Lu Yuanzheng fell into a long silence, his thoughts unknown.

At first, he genuinely believed that his father was sending them to different worlds for training in order to select a successor. If it weren't for the fact that he awakened the ability to predict the future during the trials, he might still be in the dark.

He had long since broken through to the Saint realm, but the thought of seeing his father slaughter all his children and then possess his body in the future he had predicted filled him with fear.

Fortunately, he learned some secret techniques to conceal the secrets of heaven, which prevented the Divine Martial Emperor from sensing through his bloodline power that he had become a saint.

Otherwise, he would probably have already been possessed by the Divine Martial Emperor.

Not only was he possessed, but none of his brothers and sisters escaped either.

Lu Yuan is now confused and doesn't know what to do.

Just then, Lu Yuanzheng seemed to realize something. He looked directly at the Heavenly Mystery Woman and said, "Holy Maiden, if I'm not mistaken, my ability to awaken the power to deduce heavenly secrets is because of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's assistance?"

Lu Yuanzheng is not stupid. He is not following the path of divination, so how could he suddenly awaken the art of divination?

Looking back now, if he hadn't awakened this divination technique, he wouldn't have been able to hide his cultivation level. His father would most likely have already taken over his body and become even more powerful.

A person who had not learned the art of divination suddenly awakened to it and ruined his father's plans. The art of divination was closely related to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and there were already some conflicts between the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and his father.

It's hard not to suspect that Tianji Tower was behind all of this.

Of course, there was another point that made Lu Yuanzheng suspect that all of this was related to the Heavenly Mystery Tower, and that was the shielding of the Heavenly Mystery.

He didn't believe that with his abilities, he could truly completely shield himself from the secrets of heaven, preventing even his father from detecting through the power of his bloodline that his cultivation had broken through to the Saint Realm.

It's highly likely that someone from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion intervened to shield him from the heavenly secrets.

The Heavenly Mystery Woman said indifferently, "You are very clever. All of this is indeed related to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."

"If it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, you would have already been possessed by your father."

Lu Yuanzheng immediately asked, "Since the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can change my fate, then with its capabilities, it should also be able to help me completely get rid of this crisis."

The Heavenly Mystery Maiden turned and walked to the high platform of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, her back to Lu Yuanzheng, and said, "The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will not have a direct conflict with the Divine Martial Emperor."

Lu Yuanzheng was stunned. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had already interfered with his future, and now they were saying they wouldn't confront the Divine Martial Emperor head-on.

The mere fact that Tianji Tower disrupted Emperor Shenwu's plans has already offended him. If Emperor Shenwu finds out about this, he will inevitably have a direct conflict with Tianji Tower.

It's rather naive of Tianji Tower to try to distance itself from this at this point. Does Tianji Tower really think that the Divine Martial Emperor will never know what they've done?

The Heavenly Secret Woman continued, "A new variable has emerged. As long as you leave the Divine Moon Dynasty, your life will be safe."

Hearing Tianji Nu's words, Lu Yuanzheng was dumbfounded. Leaving the Divine Moon Dynasty would be enough to escape the crisis? That was too easy, wasn't it?

What is the new variable that the Heavenly Secret Woman mentioned?

Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out what the new variable was, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Since Tianji Nu had already said that he would not be in any danger as long as he left the Divine Moon Dynasty, he simply decided not to go back.

Anyway, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has already shielded him from the heavenly secrets, so his father shouldn't be able to find him.

Lu Yuanzheng quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Holy Maiden!"

"I have no way to repay the great kindness of Tianji Tower. I will definitely help Tianji Tower if it ever needs anything from me in the future."

Lu Yuanzheng's words were merely polite; he knew very well that with the strength of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, there was no way they would need a mere Saint like him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the son of the Divine Martial Emperor, he wouldn't have been qualified to meet the Heavenly Mystery Woman.

The Heavenly Mystery Woman said calmly, "If there's nothing else, then you may leave."

Lu Yuanzheng bowed again and said, "Then I shall take my leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuanzheng's body disappeared from the spot.

The Heavenly Maiden still stood on the high platform, gazing at the distant scenery of the primeval continent.

She muttered to herself, "I didn't expect this piece to become useless so quickly. If I had known about that variable back then, I wouldn't have needed to waste my energy on this piece."

Just then, a maid came up behind Tianji Nu and said, "Holy Maiden, the Master wants you to see him immediately after you return."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, the Heavenly Mystery Woman's body turned into starlight and disappeared on the high platform.

……

Crimson Moon Dynasty, Imperial Star.

Today is the day the Crimson Moon Dynasty merges into the Great Xia Dynasty. Early in the morning, the domain lords of the various star regions within the Crimson Moon Dynasty have arrived at the palace square, waiting for the start of the merger ceremony.

There were no objections from any faction within the Crimson Moon Dynasty to the merger with the Great Xia Dynasty. Even the founding ancestor of the dynasty had chosen to pledge allegiance to the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty. What kind of trouble could these quasi-emperors possibly stir up?

Pei Tianlu, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on the main road in the square, holding a wooden tray in his hand. On the tray were the imperial seal and a sword symbolizing imperial power.

At that moment, a voice rang out from the sky, "The Heavenly Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone in the square knelt down.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen slowly walked towards Pei Tianlu from the other side of the avenue.

The sounds of people immediately echoed across the square.

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!!!"

After Lu Chen approached Pei Tianlu, Pei Tianlu immediately knelt down and said, "Pei Tianlu, the founder of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, beseeches Heaven to bear witness that I am willing to give up the throne and pledge allegiance to the Lord of the Great Xia Dynasty. From this day forward, I will be the sword of the Lord of the Great Xia Dynasty. Wherever my sword points, I will sweep away all obstacles. If I betray him, I will surely suffer divine retribution."

Lu Chen accepted the imperial seal and the sword symbolizing imperial power from Pei Tianlu's tray, and then said, "I accept your allegiance!"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he felt a surge of immense fortune flowing into his body, while the people in the square felt their fortune rapidly dissipating.

However, not long after, a new aura of fortune enveloped everyone present. With the arrival of this aura, some of the quasi-emperors present entered a state of enlightenment, while some saints even broke through to the quasi-emperor realm directly.

Everyone was excited. They hadn't expected that simply changing allegiance and joining the Great Xia Dynasty would bring them such great benefits.

Based on their original cultivation talents, many of them would never be able to make any further breakthroughs in their lifetime, but the blessing of the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune instantly gave everyone hope.

Then the sound of people's voices rang out again in the square.

"We will follow the Heavenly Emperor to the death!"

Lu Chen turned around, glanced at everyone present, and then said, "No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

At that moment, Lu Chen immediately sensed a breakthrough and said to the people in the square, "Three months from now, we will set out to conquer the Qingyun Dynasty!"

The people immediately exclaimed in unison, "Where the sword points, nothing can stand in its way!!!"

"Where the sword points, nothing can stand in its way!!!"

"Where the sword points, nothing can stand in its way!!!"
