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

Upon hearing the maid's reply, Xue Linglong was taken aback.

He's gone into seclusion?

She waited here for so long, and this guy just went into seclusion without saying a word.

Could it be that this guy has really gotten tired of it?

This is troublesome. There's less than a month left, and even if Lu Chen comes to find her now, she might not be able to get pregnant.

This bastard is going too far! We should fight him to the death!

Xue Linglong grew angrier the more she thought about it.

If Lu Chen had stayed in Wu Yunwan's room, she might have been able to comfort herself, since she also wanted to see Wu Yunwan, the princess of the Immortal Dynasty, being wantonly played with by Lu Chen, a barbarian from the borderlands.

But this guy has already left Wu Yunwan's room and hasn't come looking for me.

Has he forgotten his deal with me?

She didn't think Lu Chen was such a forgetful person; it was obvious he was deliberately ignoring her.

Just as Xue Linglong was burning with anger, a terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from the center of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

This oppressive force immediately made everyone in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion unable to stand up straight. Not only the people in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but even the people of the entire capital were suffocated by this oppressive force.

Sensing this oppressive force, Xue Linglong's face changed drastically, turning deathly pale, her delicate body trembling slightly.

She had only ever felt this kind of pressure from an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was a King-level Heavenly Demon Sect elder.

In other words, how is it possible that a King Realm expert was born in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?

This is a remote borderland, and a borderland with restrictions, so why are some people able to break through to the King Realm?

Let alone the King Realm, even breaking through to the Heaven Realm would be extremely difficult for them.

She has been stuck at the late stage of the Earth Realm for who knows how many years, and has never been able to cross that threshold.

If she were in Zhongzhou, she would have already broken through to the Heavenly Realm.

What exactly is going on with the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion?

How could they ignore the existence of the restrictions?

Or is it that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion obtained the inheritance from the ancient ruins, which is why they were able to break through so easily?

If that's the case, even if she enters the ancient ruins, she probably won't find the ancient heritage.

She was increasingly convinced that Lu Chen was deceiving her.

But so what?

Now that a King Realm expert has been born in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, even if Lu Chen is fooling or deceiving him, there's nothing he can do about it.

The Earth Realm cultivator couldn't cause any trouble in front of the King Realm cultivator; someone else could easily kill her with a single slap.

Xue Linglong's face immediately fell with worry as she pondered how to escape from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.

Three months are almost up, and she doesn't think she'll be able to conceive Lu Chen's child within the next month. If she doesn't get pregnant, that bastard might really kill her, so it's better to escape this place.

Just as Xue Linglong was plotting her escape, Lu Chen's figure suddenly appeared high in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, all the spiritual energy in the capital and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty converged on Lu Chen's body.

Feeling the oppressive force, Xue Linglong struggled to look up at the sky. Upon seeing Lu Chen's figure, Xue Linglong's mind went blank.

The person who broke through to the King Realm was actually Lu Chen. That bastard! I'm doomed now, I'm really out of options.

Lu Chen frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in an instant, all the spiritual energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was swept away.

Fortunately, the evil spirits from other places are constantly converging on the Great Zhou.

As the spiritual energy diminished, the people of Great Zhou immediately felt incredibly relaxed.

Spiritual energy is inherently harmful to the human body. Living in spiritual energy for a long time will significantly reduce a person's lifespan. Only spiritual warriors can withstand the erosion of spiritual energy.

Lu Chen's absorption of the spiritual energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually a great thing for ordinary people.

At the same time, after feeling the oppressive force in the sky, Wu Yunwan also came out of the room, looked up at the sky, and saw that the oppressive force came from Lu Chen. She couldn't help but recall the words Lu Chen had said to her back then.

This guy said he was confident that his strength would surpass that of the leaders of various forces in the Central Plains before the restrictions on the borderlands were lifted.

At the time, she thought this guy was arrogant and lacked common sense, which was why he said such things.

But now it seems he was indeed qualified to say that.

It hasn't been long at all, and he's already broken through to the King Realm...

It should be noted that the spiritual energy in the borderlands is less than one-thousandth of that in the Central Plains. If someone can break through to the King Realm in such a place, then if Lu Chen were to go to the Central Plains, or if the restrictions on the borderlands were lifted and the spiritual energy from the Central Plains flooded into the borderlands, wouldn't Lu Chen be able to break through to an even higher realm instantly?

That's terrifying! Just how talented is this person?

In all her years of life, Wu Yunwan had never heard of any powerful force in Zhongzhou whose prodigy possessed talent like Lu Chen.

Wu Junwan suddenly felt that even if Lu Chen was from a remote and desolate place, marrying him and bearing his children might not be such a bad thing.

Lu Chen has such amazing talent, does that mean his child is likely to inherit his talent as well?

In other words, the child in her womb will one day reach Lu Chen's level, or even break through to higher realms, such as the Saint Realm, Emperor Realm, or God Realm...

Wu Yunwan became more and more excited as she thought about it. Just thinking about Lu Chen's handsome face made her body feel hot.

No, if Lu Chen really is in the desolate land, then she must find a way to bring Lu Chen to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty!

Such talent cannot be wasted. Once Lu Chen becomes her consort, her status in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty will surely rise significantly.

With such talent, why bother caring if he lives in some barren wasteland? I've struck gold.

However, Wu Yunwan suddenly thought of the Heavenly Demon Sect and other forces in Zhongzhou.

She coveted Lu Chen, and other women coveted him too.

She probably has many people who share the same thoughts; getting Lu Chen to join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is not an easy task.

She can bear children for Lu Chen, and other women can also bear children for Lu Chen.

I need to find another way.

Just as Wu Junwan had predicted, she wasn't the only one trying to win over Lu Chen at this moment.

Pei Shuhua stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at Lu Chen in the sky, and the same thought arose in her heart as Wu Junwan's.

Lu Chen broke through from the Heaven Realm to the King Realm in less than ten years, which is unheard of even in the Central Continent.

If she could bring Lu Chen to the Qionghua Holy Land, her contribution would be immense. Most importantly, the ancient inheritance might also be in Lu Chen's possession. If she could get Lu Chen to join the Qionghua Holy Land, she would have accomplished two great feats.

However, too many people covet Lu Chen, and most importantly, Lu Chen himself probably doesn't want to.

Time passed slowly, and gradually, the blood moon appeared in the sky. Lu Chen was still suspended high in the sky, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of the entire borderland.

He now felt that his body was like a bottomless pit, which could never be filled, and could accommodate any amount of spiritual energy.

As his realm broke through to the King Realm, his perception also improved significantly, and the whole world became incredibly clear.

At the same time, he discovered that he seemed to be able to sense a faint aura of the Burial Furnace. Although he still didn't know where the Burial Furnace was, he could vaguely perceive its aura. (End of Chapter)
