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

The first letter Lu Chen read was about intelligence on the northern barbarians. The scouts reported that the barbarian goddess in the north seemed to have invented some kind of battle formation, which was incredibly powerful.

When barbarians use battle formations, they can even conjure up some illusory things, and these things can directly destroy a mountain.

Lu Chen thought to himself, "Battle formation?"

Although there were battle formations in this world before, those formations were just ordinary offensive and defensive formations.

Ordinary battle formations cannot condense any concrete physical entities.

This thing is so unreal, it doesn't seem to come from this world at all.

This barbarian goddess, could she be...?

Did they come from the Misty World?

The restrictions on the Mist World had long since loosened. Since Wu Yunwan and Yue Huang were able to return from the Mist World, it was naturally possible that other people in the Mist World could also escape from it.

Perhaps that barbarian goddess is a powerful being who escaped from the Misty World.

Lu Chen suddenly felt a lot of pressure. A battle formation that could destroy an entire mountain peak—he wondered if the Celestials could destroy the Barbarians' battle formation.

It seems I need to hurry up and unify the major dynasties. If the barbarians invade from the south and destroy Dayue, it will be much more difficult for me to destroy Dayue, which is now occupied by the barbarians. I must occupy Dayue before the barbarians destroy it.

With that in mind, Lu Chen tore open the second piece of intelligence and began to read it carefully.

Upon seeing the contents of the intelligence report, Lu Chen frowned once again. According to the investigation by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the plague in Daqian originated from the southern sea.

While fishing, a fisherman found a golden box. He thought he had struck it rich, but that very night a plague broke out in the entire fishing village. The plague originated from the golden box.

Upon seeing the contents of the intelligence report, Lu Chen thought to himself, "It seems there are things in the southern seas of the Great Qian Dynasty as well."

I don't know if this plague can be eradicated. If the plague in Daqian can't be resolved, how will I be able to occupy Daqian?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen looked at Qin Yushan and said, "Commander Qin, come here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yushan recalled the scene from earlier. He was curious about what Lu Chen had done to Dongfang Longyue, so he walked directly towards Lu Chen.

Upon arriving in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen raised his hand, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and then used the Enlightenment Divine Power once again.

The next moment, Qin Yushan's mind was filled with countless pieces of knowledge about bacteria and viruses. Qin Yushan's pupils contracted, feeling extremely incredulous.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly felt as if all the spiritual energy in his body had been drained, and he instantly became weak all over.

At this moment, a system notification sound will be heard.

[The number of times the host can use the Enlightenment ability in a day is related to the host's cultivation level. Since the host has not yet broken through to the Celestial Realm, the host can only use the Enlightenment ability a maximum of twice a day.]

Lu Chen thought to himself, no wonder his body had suddenly become so weak. It turned out that using supernatural powers consumed so much of his spiritual energy. But it was alright, twice a day was enough for him to enlighten many people and give them modern knowledge.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about enlightening two people every day, Qin Yushan hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing knowledge upon your subordinate!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Get up. I have a very important task for you."

Qin Yushan said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Qin Yushan had actually guessed what the mission Lu Chen was talking about was. Lu Chen was imparting so much knowledge about bacteria and viruses to him at this time, which was obviously to send him to Daqian to investigate the plague, in order to prepare for Daxia to destroy Daqian in the future.

Lu Chen then said, "I plan to send you to the Great Qian Dynasty to investigate the characteristics of the plague and find out what it is, whether it is bacteria or a virus."

"This mission is quite dangerous. You must be extremely careful once you get there."

Qin Yushan immediately replied, "Yes, I will definitely find out the specific details of the Great Qian Plague."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, go and prepare. I have already taught you the methods of preventing the plague. After you arrive in Daqian, you should teach these methods to the other Jinyiwei soldiers so that they can also be vigilant at all times."

Qin Yushan said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yushan got up and left the Imperial Study. Seeing Qin Yushan's departing figure, Lu Chen thought to himself that he hoped the plague in Daqian was caused by bacteria or a virus.

If it's not caused by these two things, but by something beyond our understanding, then eliminating this plague will probably not be so easy.

Thinking about this gave Lu Chen a headache.

At this moment.

Xuan Yue Palace.

On a mountain peak, a fairy dressed in white stood quietly, gazing at the distant green mountains.

At this moment, Chen Wanrong appeared behind Yun Xianxian. "Master, this disciple plans to go down the mountain."

Yun Xianxian said expressionlessly, "What's wrong? Missing your little lover?"

Chen Wanrong said, "Before I returned to Xuan Yue Palace, I told my junior brother that I would go down the mountain to visit him this year."

Upon hearing Chen Wanrong address Lu Chen as her junior brother, Yun Xianxian snorted coldly, "You don't focus on cultivation, all you do is indulge in the pleasures of men and women. You'll ruin yourself sooner or later."

"After you go down the mountain, take this message to that wicked disciple. Tell him that the restrictions in the Misty Zone are about to be broken. In less than twenty years, the restrictions in the Misty Zone will begin to disappear. Tell him to hurry up and make preparations."

"The Misty Zone has many experts who surpass the Celestial Realm. With his current strength, he has no chance against the experts in the Misty Zone."

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's reminder, Chen Wanrong was taken aback.

Twenty years?

That's too short a time. Can Lu Chen really grow up in twenty years?

After regaining her senses, Chen Wanrong quickly thanked her and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Master. I will go down the mountain now and tell my junior brother about this."

Yun Xianxian didn't say anything more, her gaze still fixed on the distance.

Chen Wanrong then turned and left.

After Chen Wanrong left, Yun Xianxian continued, "I wonder where that other wicked disciple has gone. He hasn't shown his face for so many years."

"Could it be that she went to the Misty World when the restrictions on it loosened last time?"

The other wicked disciple Yun Xianxian mentioned was not Lu Chen's mother, Chu Yue, but her nominal disciple, who was the Celestial Being who was a Grandmaster of Hunting decades ago.

It was because of that disciple's existence that the number of Grandmasters in this world dropped drastically, and many Grandmasters went into hiding, not daring to show themselves.

Although rumors circulated that she had returned to Xuan Yue Palace for seclusion, she had actually only returned to say goodbye to Yun Xianxian. However, Yun Xianxian was in seclusion at the time, so she did not see her leave.

When Yun Xianxian emerged from her seclusion, she learned that the disciple had left Xuan Yue Palace and gone nowhere; there had been no news of him since. (End of Chapter)
