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

"Have you heard? The Nirvana Holy Land is planning to form an alliance with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Divine Moon Dynasty."

"Really? Isn't Nirvana Holy Land a top-tier power? How come they've allied with Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Divine Moon Dynasty?"

"Good heavens, what are these three top powers planning to do by forming an alliance? Could it be that they intend to target the old holy lands in the Central Star Region?"

"No, I heard that their alliance is aimed at the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. The Great Xia Dynasty is currently at its zenith, and it is now the dynasty with the largest territory in the universe. The Great Xia Dynasty's fortune is probably the strongest, and there is also a reincarnated Heavenly Emperor. The Great Xia Dynasty is indeed the greatest threat to them."

……

Hearing the discussions among the cultivators in the tavern, Lu Chen drank and pondered. Now that his reputation was growing, he feared that more top powers would form alliances with the Divine Moon Dynasty to deal with him in the future.

Of course, these are all minor matters. As long as they cannot break through the barrier created by the Immortal Umbrella, no matter how many top forces they unite with, they will pose no threat to the Great Xia Dynasty.

but……

The Divine Martial Emperor and the others should already know the strength of this barrier. Since they have joined forces, they cannot sit idly by and wait for their doom; they must be plotting something.

I just don't know what plans they have against the Great Xia Dynasty.

Just as Lu Chen was pondering this question, the cultivators in the restaurant continued their discussion.

"To be honest, I actually feel that their alliance of several top powers may not be aimed at directly confronting the Great Xia Dynasty."

Upon hearing the cultivator's words, another cultivator asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

The cultivator replied, "I have heard of the passage to the outer universe. Because of the existence of that passage, countless treasures have entered the outer realm, including treasures that can help a Great Emperor of the Ninth Realm break through."

"The alliance of the Divine Moon Dynasty and other top forces is likely for the purpose of exploring the outer regions. Of course, it is also to guard against the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, the Great Xia Dynasty is not an ordinary force now, and no one can say for sure if the Great Xia Dynasty has any other means."

Upon hearing the cultivator's words, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then put down his bowl and asked the cultivator at the next table, "Fellow Daoist, is everything you've said true?"

Hearing the sudden sound, the cultivator was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. The next moment, all the cultivators at the table looked at Lu Chen. When they saw the saintly aura emanating from Lu Chen, they were not very surprised.

This is already the edge of the central star field. Although it's not to the point where saints are running all over the streets, there are still occasionally some saints appearing in the crowd.

Not to mention saints, cultivators have seen quite a few quasi-emperors and great emperors.

The cultivator immediately stood up and said, "Replying to senior, these messages were heard from other places and cannot be verified. However, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Divine Moon Dynasty have indeed been mobilizing troops recently, and it seems they are planning something big."

Lu Chen said, "I see. It's nothing, I was just asking."

Lu Chen thought to himself, if there really is a passage to other universes in the outer realm, then wouldn't he be able to use the interdimensional stone to leave this universe directly?

The cross-realm stones awarded by the system should be used for this purpose, right?

He definitely has to go and join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's main body immediately convened a cultivators' conference in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, this cultivators' conference only involved figures at the Great Emperor level.

Tianchen world.

Heavenly Emperor Palace.

The Heavenly Emperor's Palace is magnificent and imposing, with hundreds of huge pillars made of celestial gold inside. The entire ceiling of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace is over a hundred meters high, making people appear very small inside.

This grand hall was built specifically for emperors to hold meetings, so naturally it had to be built to be magnificent and imposing.

At this moment, almost all the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, except for those who were on duty outside, had arrived. Even the emperors on duty sent their clones to participate in this Immortal Cultivator Conference.

This is the first time Lu Chen has convened a conference of cultivators at the Great Emperor level since the Heavenly Emperor Palace was built, which clearly indicates that something important is happening.

At this moment, Lu Chen appeared on the throne above. Upon seeing Lu Chen, the emperors in the hall all bowed in unison, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need for formalities."

Then, the emperors in the main hall all stood up and looked at Lu Chen, waiting for Lu Chen to speak.

Lu Chen glanced at the emperors in the main hall and counted the number. The number of emperors in the Great Xia Dynasty had now exceeded eighty.

If all these emperors combined used the Spirit Gathering Array, it would be enough for him to have strength approaching or even surpassing that of the Heavenly Emperor.

He definitely wants to explore the outer realms.

However, if all these few dozen emperors were to follow him to the outer realms, what would happen if something were to happen to the Great Xia Dynasty?

Although the Great Xia Dynasty is currently protected by the barrier of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella and is very safe, no one can say for sure whether the Heavenly Mystery Tower will find a way to break through it.

Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, the Thunder Emperor asked curiously, "I wonder what His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has summoned us for this matter?"

Lu Chen came to his senses and then said, "I have heard that the Nirvana Holy Land has also formed an alliance with the Divine Moon Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the emperors in the hall were stunned.

Nirvana Holy Land?

That is one of the oldest holy lands in this era. Hasn't Nirvana Holy Land always had a bad relationship with the Divine Moon Dynasty? How come it suddenly allied with the Divine Moon Dynasty?

Top-tier, long-established holy lands like Nirvana Holy Land generally look down on the Divine Moon Dynasty and even harbor great hostility towards it, especially towards the Divine Martial Emperor.

For those Ninth Realm Emperors who had lived for countless years, the Divine Martial Emperor's cultivation talent was truly terrifying, and he had always been the Ninth Realm Emperor most likely to take that step before Lu Chen appeared.

There were rumors that some old holy lands were preparing to join forces to deal with the Divine Moon Dynasty and eliminate the warmonger, Emperor Shenwu. But now the Nirvana Holy Land has actually cooperated with the Divine Moon Dynasty.

At this moment, an emperor in the main hall said, "Could it be that the Nirvana Holy Land is here to deal with His Majesty?"

Lu Chen calls himself the Heavenly Emperor, but he doesn't have the strength of a Heavenly Emperor. Calling himself the Heavenly Emperor is obviously too high-profile.

The key point is that Lu Chen has basically gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. Those Great Emperors who have been stuck in the Ninth Realm will definitely be dissatisfied after seeing Lu Chen's situation.

Lu Chen then said, "That's possible, but I've also heard another possibility."

"There are rumors in the Central Star Region that there is a passage to other universes in the outer region, and many treasures have entered the outer region through that passage, including treasures that can help people break through to the Heavenly Emperor level."

Upon hearing these words, a flurry of discussion immediately broke out in the hall. (End of Chapter)
