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

Lu Chen looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought. Only cultivators below the level of pseudo-celestial beings could enter this world?

What kind of cultivators are they?

Could it be because of the existence of restrictions that beings at or above the level of Celestials are unable to enter this world?

If that's the case, then these people pose no threat for the time being, and we can simply have Liu Zhengchu deal with them.

Liu Zhengchu is, after all, a veteran Celestial Being. He should have no problem dealing with some pseudo-Celestial Beings in the Dao Integration stage, right?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, he discovered that Liu Zhengchu mentioned in the letter that those cultivators at the Dao Integration stage came from a force called the Spirit Fox Sect. They were skilled in formations, and even Celestials could not gain any advantage in front of their formations.

Currently, only Liu Zhengchu is in Dayue, guarding the direction of the Black Dragon Kingdom. This puts immense pressure on Liu Zhengchu, so he wants Lu Chen to send a few Celestials to Dayue to work together to eliminate the invaders.

Lu Chen thought for a moment. Liu Zhengchu and the others had a hard time dealing with Mu Yunxi's Shangqing Tenglong Formation, let alone a formation constructed entirely by cultivators at the Dao Integration stage.

It seems this is quite a problem.

He had originally planned to visit Fengyin Island first, and he had even had a boat prepared, but now this has happened.

It seems we won't be able to go to Fengyin Island anytime soon. Let's deal with those invaders from the Misty World first.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Liang Zong, "Find a way to send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to find out the specific situation of the Spirit Fox Sect."

Liang Zong replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said, "In addition, let Dean Xia and Academician Xuanyuan go to Dayue to assist General Liu in resisting the invaders."

"Commander Liang, go and convey my orders."

Liang Zong immediately bowed and said, "This subordinate takes his leave!"

After Liang Zong left the imperial study, Qin Yushan asked, "Your Majesty, the large ship to Fengyin Island is ready. Are you returning to Yancheng or heading to Fengyin Island?"

Their initial plan was to go to Fengyin Island, but now that invaders from the Misty World have appeared in the west, Qin Yushan is unsure whether Lu Chen will still go to Fengyin Island.

At this moment, Lu Chen was also somewhat conflicted. He always felt that there was something he needed on Fengyin Island, and he had long planned to go to Fengyin Island to take a look, but he never had the opportunity.

Now that even the large ship is ready, if they don't go, they don't know when they'll have to wait. However, he is also very worried that Liu Zhengchu and the other two Celestials are no match for the invaders from the Misty World.

Just then, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back to Yancheng immediately. We can put the sea voyage on hold for now."

Qin Yushan immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."

An emperor's voyage at sea was not a simple voyage; it always involved extensive preparations, such as large ships, food, clothing, lodging, and servants to attend to the emperor.

Now that Lu Chen isn't going, preparations for those things need to be temporarily halted, otherwise it would be a waste of resources.

At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Alright, that's all for tonight. If you have any new information, especially about the Misty World, please inform me immediately."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he vanished using teleportation. Qin Yushan then said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen returned to Qianning Palace in an instant. At this time, Liu Qingqiu had just put on her light blue cloud dress. As soon as Lu Chen returned, he pounced on her on the soft couch and then quickly stripped her naked.

Liu Qingqiu lay there looking at Lu Chen, and asked curiously, "Hiss... the restrictions on the Misty World are gone?"

While doing his own thing, Lu Chen replied, "It's not clear yet, but there have already been invaders from the Misty World coming to this world. However, most of them are at or below the Dao Integration stage. I guess the restrictions haven't completely disappeared yet. Right now, I estimate that cultivators above the Celestial Realm level can't leave the Misty World."

Liu Qingqiu's interest was piqued again. She took a few deep breaths, "Huff...what are you planning to do?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Send someone to investigate first. I will return to Yancheng in a few days. If the people I send can't solve it, then I will solve it myself."

Liu Qingqiu asked, "You... sigh... aren't you going... gently... to Fengyin Island anymore?"

Lu Chen said, "Well, let's not go for now. We'll deal with the intruders first."

Liu Qingqiu continued, "When... umm... will you be able to bring that woman Mu Yunxi back?"

For the past few months, she has spent most of her time with Lu Chen. She feels that she has been completely manipulated by Lu Chen and has become like his female slave.

Now she has completely lost her resistance to Lu Chen. In fact, Lu Chen doesn't even need to force himself on her; she will want to be intimate with him on her own initiative.

She herself didn't believe that this was love; she felt like she had fallen into depravity, which was why she had such thoughts.

Regardless of whether she has fallen into depravity or not, she is now living a happy life, but she can never let go of Mu Yunxi, who has already run away.

She had served Lu Chen for so long, yet Mu Yunxi, the woman who had been arrested with her, was living a carefree life outside.

Since she and Mu Yunxi are allies, allies should naturally advance and retreat together. She is so happy now, so of course she should share half of her happiness with her ally. She is a very generous woman. She has never thought of monopolizing Lu Chen by herself.

Upon hearing Liu Qingqiu's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why do you think about her all the time?"

"Don't worry, when she comes back, I'll definitely teach her a lesson for you."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get back to business."

Now that the system no longer provides notifications for cultivation experience points, Lu Chen has gradually learned to cultivate on his own after entering the Celestial Realm and no longer needs to rely on the system.

In just a few months, his strength has reached the fourth level of the Celestial Realm. At this rate of improvement, he will probably be able to break through to the Creation Realm in less than two years.

Unfortunately, despite spending almost every day these past few months cultivating his relationship with Liu Qingqiu, the beautiful fairy's belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.

It seems that the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring. Now let's see what kind of system rewards his pregnant wives and concubines will bring him.

Seeing Lu Chen's keen interest, Liu Qingqiu said nothing more and began to circulate the Mysterious Maiden Technique to absorb the spiritual power within Lu Chen's body.

After an unknown amount of time, a notification sound suddenly rang in Lu Chen's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Chu Yuqin has given birth to your child. Reward: Heaven-Rank Spirit Sword, God-Slaying Sword.]

Ok?

Lu Chen was a little confused when he heard the system notification.

He never expected that the reward for his wives and concubines giving birth this time would not be a certain power, but a magical artifact.

He thought the system was going to reward him with some kind of faction. (End of Chapter)
