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

Upon hearing Emperor Taikang's reply, Lu Chen was slightly puzzled. Did he not intend to take action against the Great Xia Dynasty?

They marched so grandly towards the Great Xia Dynasty, only to say they didn't intend to attack it. What were they doing sending so many emperors out?

Are you on vacation?

Just as Lu Chen was wondering, Emperor Taikang continued, "The Great Xia Dynasty is now prosperous and has the strength to stand on equal footing with us ancient holy lands. Putting aside whether we are their match, even if we were to defeat the Great Xia Dynasty, it would most likely result in mutual destruction."

"A great calamity is imminent, which is not a good thing for the Qingyue Holy Land. Moreover, I have a special reason to preserve my strength."

"Most importantly, even if we defeat the main force of the Great Xia Dynasty, we may still not be able to break through the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier, so even if we win this war, it will be meaningless."

Lu Chen asked, "Then why did Master still send troops to the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Emperor Taikang walked to the bow of the immortal ship and looked at the core area of ​​the central star field. "That is where I have no choice but to go."

"The Qingyue Holy Land is not under my control; I am merely the Holy Son of the Qingyue Holy Land."

Lu Chen said, "This disciple understands."

Seeing that Lu Chen understood so quickly, Emperor Taikang showed a hint of relief. Then he continued, "When you return to Qingyue Holy Land, try not to get close to that person."

The Lord of Qingyue is capable of anything to survive. Given Lu Chen's exceptional talent, Emperor Taikang is unsure whether the Lord of Qingyue will consider using the method of possession to attack Lu Chen.

Although ordinary methods of possession are useless against a ninth-level Great Emperor whose soul is nearing its end, Lord Qingyue has tried everything and doesn't mind trying one more time.

Emperor Taikang did not want to see such a promising talent as Lu Chen ruined by the Lord of Qingyue.

Lu Chen then continued, "Master, I have a question I'm curious about."

Emperor Taikang countered with, "What's the problem?"

Lu Chen said, "The Divine Moon Dynasty attacked the Great Xia Dynasty a long time ago, and conflicts have long existed between them. Why is the Divine Moon Dynasty now allowing the Great Xia Dynasty to continue its expansion?"

Emperor Taikang said, "The Great Xia Dynasty is not so easy to deal with. The main reason is that the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier is too strong. Even a Great Emperor at the Ninth Realm cannot break it."

Lu Chen said, "Are we just going to let the Great Xia Dynasty continue to expand like this?"

Emperor Taikang said calmly, "There will always be opportunities. This is not something we should worry about. There are people who are more anxious than we are."

The Divine Martial Emperor was the one who most wanted to take that step. He would never allow his son to become the Heavenly Emperor before him, so the Divine Martial Emperor would definitely take some action next.

As for what they do, Emperor Taikang doesn't care. Emperor Taikang is now only focused on seizing control of the Qingyue Holy Land and becoming its true master.

Emperor Taikang was rather conservative. He had read some records from the ancient era. After all, the Lord of Qingyue was a survivor from the previous era and knew a lot of things. He also brought many ancient books from the previous era to this era.

Emperor Taikang learned of the existence of the place where the eras transitioned from those ancient books. Emperor Taikang's idea was that as long as the Qingyue Holy Land could be preserved, they would immediately search for the place where the eras transitioned after it began. There was no need to waste too much manpower and resources to start a war before the great calamity began.

If the Qingyue Holy Land is destroyed due to war, their only remaining place of survival will be destroyed. If they are driven out of the Central Star Region, it will be even more difficult for them to survive the great calamity.

However, if they want to preserve the strength of Qingyue Holy Land, they must first face a problem: there is a restless person in Qingyue Holy Land.

Putting aside the fact that the Lord of Qingyue has a history of experimenting on the emperors of the Holy Land, the Lord of Qingyue is now nearing his end, and in order to survive, he will become even more insane.

The Lord of Qingyue is an extremely unstable factor, and this factor must be dealt with.

At this moment, Lu Chen said, "I've heard that the Nirvana Holy Land has also formed an alliance with the Divine Moon Dynasty, and that they've discovered a treasure in the outer realms that can help a Ninth-Level Great Emperor break through to become a Heavenly Emperor. Doesn't our Holy Land plan to enter the outer realms to search for this treasure?"

Emperor Taikang said, "This news has already spread throughout the entire Central Star Region. How could I not know? However, since even the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion hasn't made a move, there's no need for us to be too anxious."

"When the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Divine Moon Dynasty travel to the outer realms, we will follow them."

At this moment, Emperor Taikang suddenly thought of something and then said, "However, if there really were a treasure that could allow someone to break through from the Ninth Realm to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, Emperor Shenwu and the Lord of Nirvana would probably have gone to the Outer Realm long ago, instead of waiting until now."

At this point, Emperor Taikang fell into deep thought, and Lu Chen was also deep in thought. Emperor Taikang's reminder brought Lu Chen to his senses.

If there really were a way to break through from the Ninth Realm to the Heavenly Emperor, the Divine Martial Emperor would probably have gone to the Outer Domain long ago. Why would he be so calm?

This is where things get complicated.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Taikang continued, "In my opinion, this is most likely a setup."

When Emperor Taikang said this, Lu Chen also thought of this possibility. It was very likely that this news was specifically released to him, and the purpose was to get him out of the barrier of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Once his true form travels to the outer realms, the top powers like the Divine Moon Dynasty will take action against him.

Of course, all of this is just speculation, and there may be other reasons why they did not immediately go to the outer realms.

Emperor Taikang said, "This rumor was likely deliberately spread by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to lure Lu Chen's main body to the outer realms. Once Lu Chen's main body leaves the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier, it will be much easier to deal with Lu Chen."

Lu Chen asked, "Master, should our Holy Land still travel to the outer realms?"

Emperor Taikang said, "We still need to go and see. A great calamity is approaching. If we can obtain a few treasures from other realms, we will be more confident in fighting against the calamity."

"As for whether the Divine Moon Dynasty and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion are plotting against the Great Xia Dynasty, that has nothing to do with us."

Emperor Taikang had already made up his mind not to get involved in the disputes between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Divine Moon Dynasty. The matter of Qingyue Holy Land was already difficult enough for him to handle. If he wanted to go and deal with the Great Xia Dynasty, then the matter of Qingyue Holy Land would become even more complicated.

He only wanted to protect his small plot of land in Qingyue Holy Land; as for other matters, they had nothing to do with Qingyue Holy Land.

Lu Chen also understood from Emperor Taikang's words that Emperor Taikang didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. If that was truly Emperor Taikang's mindset, then he might be worth trying to win over. (End of Chapter)
