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

Yue Zhengze gasped.

Sixteen years old, and not yet born into a superpower.

They didn't even come from a normal star field, but were born in a wild star field.

Coming from the desolate star field means that Lu Chen has very few cultivation resources available. Despite such scarce resources, he was still able to break through to the fifth level of the Returning Void Realm at the age of sixteen.

This talent...

Neither the former saintess nor the current saintess can compare.

After Yue Zhengze came to his senses, he was overjoyed. Once their Palace Master came out of seclusion, Lu Chen would definitely be chosen as the Holy Son by the Palace Master!

He must seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with Lu Chen. Once Lu Chen truly becomes the Holy Son, he probably won't even be able to see Lu Chen again.

Thinking of this, Yue Zhengze said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

"To break through to the fifth level of the Returning Void Realm at the age of sixteen, the position of Holy Son of Yunhua Palace is rightfully yours."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Senior is joking. I was just lucky."

Yue Zhengze said, "Even if you have some good fortune, without the corresponding talent, it is impossible to reach the Returning to the Void Realm at this age."

"Many gifted individuals who have the opportunity find it difficult to seize it if they lack the necessary talent."

"You were able to seize the opportunity because you have enough talent."

At this point, Yue Zhengze showed a regretful expression.

"It's a pity you arrived a few days too late. If you had arrived a few days earlier, before the Palace Master went into seclusion, perhaps the Palace Master would have made you a Holy Son as soon as you entered Yunhua Palace."

Lu Chen asked curiously, "Yunhua Palace already has a Holy Maiden, why choose a Holy Son?"

Yue Zheng replied, "Compared to your talent, the Holy Maiden's talent is nothing. Yunhua Palace encourages competition, and the Holy Maiden and Holy Son are not fixed."

"The current saintess was only recently chosen."

Lu Chen said, "I see, thank you for your explanation, senior."

Yue Zhengze said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. We belong to the same palace, so it's my duty to introduce Yunhua Palace to you."

Then, as they walked, Yue Zhengze explained things about Yunhua Palace to Lu Chen, such as its power distribution and the rules of Yunhua Palace.

Soon, the two arrived near the Tranquility Tower. Lu Chen stopped and looked at the tall tower in the distance that emitted a silvery-white light.

Seeing that Lu Chen's gaze was fixed on the Tranquility Tower, Yue Zhengze stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "What's that tall tower for? It looks rather unusual."

The area around the Tranquility Tower exudes a unique Taoist aura; simply looking at the tower brings a sense of peace to one's heart.

Yue Zhengze glanced at the Tranquility Tower and then replied, "That's the Tranquility Tower."

Lu Chen continued, "The Tranquility Tower? Is it a place for cultivation?"

Yue Zhengze said, "You could also call it a place for cultivation, but not just anyone can go in."

"Only personal disciples who have made mistakes are qualified to enter the Meditation Tower to reflect on their actions."

Lu Chen said, "So this is a place for imprisoning prisoners. I thought it was a place for cultivation."

Yue Zhengze said with a smile, "The Tranquility Tower can certainly be used as a place for cultivation. After all, the Tranquility Tower has a Heaven-rank Tranquility Array, which can calm people's restless minds. It is most suitable as a place for breakthroughs."

Lu Chen said, "If that's the case, then why is the Tranquility Tower only used as a place to imprison offending disciples, instead of being open to the disciples of Yunhua Palace as a cultivation ground?"

Yue Zhengze said, "I don't know about that."

"The former Holy Maiden did suggest to the Palace Master that the Tranquility Tower be used as a place for cultivation, but the Palace Master did not agree."

"Perhaps the Palace Master is worried that too many disciples entering the Tranquility Tower might have some impact on it. After all, the Tranquility Tower can absorb people's evil thoughts, and if it absorbs too many, it might collapse."

Lu Chen said, "I see."

Lu Chen didn't dwell on the topic. He then asked, "So what kind of things usually require someone to be locked up in the Meditation Tower?"

This……

Yue Zhengze was surprised that Lu Chen was so concerned about the Tranquil Heart Tower. He couldn't help but think that Lu Chen was not a well-behaved person.

They've already started inquiring about the standards for imprisoning people at the Tranquility Tower. Are they planning to find out the severity of punishments at Yunhua Palace, and then act recklessly within those standards?

Yue Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "It's hard to say, but don't worry, as long as you don't do anything to harm your fellow disciples, Yunhua Palace won't imprison you in the Tranquility Tower."

At this point, Yue Zhengze suddenly thought of something, then leaned close to Lu Chen's ear and whispered, "Even if you really did such a thing, if no one knows, or if the other party is not a disciple of some important person, you still won't be locked up in the Tranquility Tower."

Hearing Yue Zhengze's words, Lu Chen smiled knowingly and then said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Yue Zhengze smiled slightly and then said, "Alright, let's continue to explore other places."

Immediately afterwards, Yue Zheng led Lu Chen to another place. Just as the two arrived at a forest of red maple leaves, suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came.

"Oh, isn't this Elder Yue? What brings Elder Yue to our Tianyue Palace?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yue Zhengze's face instantly darkened, and he immediately said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, let's go."

Just as Yue Zhengze was about to leave with Lu Chen, a person dressed in a gray robe appeared in front of Yue Zhengze, blocking their way.

Immediately afterwards, several people dressed in white disciple robes appeared in front of Lu Chen and his companion.

The man in the gray robe glanced at Lu Chen, then asked with a smile, "Could this be Elder Yue's newly recruited disciple?"

Yue Zhengze said coldly, "Liang Hong, what do you mean by this?"

Liang Hong shifted his gaze from Lu Chen back to Yue Zhengze. "Elder Yue, don't get so angry. I just wanted to see how your newly recruited disciple is doing."

Yue Zhengze immediately said, "This is not my disciple, but a celestial seedling brought back by our Palace Master."

Ok?

Upon hearing Yue Zhengze say that it was a celestial seedling brought back by the Emperor of the Hidden Moon, Liang Hong finally took a serious look at Lu Chen.

Upon seeing this, Liang Hong was completely stunned.

The person in front of me is only sixteen years old! At sixteen, he's already at the fifth level of the Returning Void Realm!

How is that possible!

This talent is already higher than that of their current Holy Maiden!

Oh no, if we wait for the Palace Master to emerge from seclusion, wouldn't this person become the Holy Son?

If a Holy Son emerges from the Heart Moon Palace, its status will surpass that of the Heavenly Peak Palace, and it will no longer be at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Liang Hong's face darkened.

He had just seen Yue Zhengze wandering around with someone and assumed that the young man was Yue Zhengze's newly accepted disciple. He even brought his own disciple, who had broken through to the Guixu Realm in just two hundred years, intending to show off in front of Yue Zhengze.

As it turned out, his own disciple was nothing compared to the talent of the young man before him. (End of Chapter)
