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

After learning that Lu Chen and Mu Hong had fallen out, the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect tried every means to find Mu Hongguang and win him over.

However, Mu Hongguang seemed to have vanished and never appeared again, causing Meng Tian and the others to lose patience.

After some time, Meng Tian finally heard about where Mu Hongguang was.

After being expelled from Taichu Academy by Emperor Xia, Mu Hongguang went to a Taoist temple near Yancheng to meditate.

After learning Mu Hongguang's exact location, Meng Tian immediately led his men to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple where Mu Hongguang lived was located on the top of a small mountain, and there were few people around, making it extremely quiet.

When Meng Tian and the others reached the mountaintop, all they could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

For some reason, Meng Tian felt that something was wrong with the Taoist temple, but he didn't think too much about it and immediately led his people into the temple.

The area outside the Taoist temple was extremely quiet, but there were still quite a few Taoist priests inside. Upon seeing the arrival of the group, one of the priests immediately approached Meng Tian and his companions, asking, "May I ask what brings you fellow Taoists here?"

Meng Tian said directly, "I'm here to see Mu Hongguang. I heard he lives in this Taoist temple."

Although Meng Tian was a cultivator at the Dao Integration stage, his cultivation level was not as high as Mu Hongguang's. However, to him, Mu Hongguang was just a native from a lower world, so he had no respect for Mu Hongguang and called him by his name directly.

Upon hearing Meng Tian's words, the Taoist priest who came to greet them immediately said, "Please follow me, everyone."

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he led Meng Tian and the others to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

At this moment, under the old tree in the backyard of the Taoist temple, sat an old man with white hair. Upon seeing this old man, Meng Tian immediately gave him a disdainful look.

In Meng Tian's view, becoming a celestial being at such an advanced age was a sign of uselessness.

If it weren't for the grand plan of the Spirit Fox Sect, he wouldn't have come to win over a white-haired Celestial Being; in the Spirit Fox Sect, Celestial Beings are a dime a dozen.

At this moment, Mu Hongguang, who was sitting on the stone bench, glanced at the crowd in the courtyard and then said, "Gentlemen, may I ask what business you have with me?"

Meng Tian sat down abruptly at the stone table where Mu Hongguang was sitting, then looked at Mu Hongguang and said, "Mu Hongguang, do you want to break through to the Creation Realm in your lifetime?"

At this point, Meng Tian suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot, you people from Tianchen Continent don't know about the Creation Realm, you only know about the Celestial Being."

At this point, Meng Tian continued to explain, "The Creation Realm is an existence above the Celestial Realm. Once you break through to the Creation Realm, it's not a big problem to increase your lifespan by another thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongguang laughed and said, "Are you gentlemen joking with this old man?"

Seeing Mu Hongguang say this, Meng Tian assumed that Mu Hongguang did not believe him, and then said somewhat impatiently, "That's why I hate dealing with people from the lower world. I can't understand anything they say."

Meng Tian continued, "I'll just tell you directly, we are not from this world, we come from the Misty World."

"In the Misty World, the Celestials are not the strongest; there are beings even stronger than the Celestials."

"As long as you are willing to stand on our side, we can help you become a Creation Realm expert once the restrictions on the Misty World disappear."

"You only get one chance; the choice is yours."

Mu Hongguang frowned immediately, pretending not to understand, and asked, "The Misty World? What kind of place is that?"

Meng Tian continued his impatient explanation: "In the far west of your continent, isn't there a place shrouded in mist? That place is the Misty World."

"We are cultivators from the Misty World. We come from the Spirit Fox Sect, one of the top super powers in the Misty World. In our Spirit Fox Sect, celestial beings can be seen everywhere. Join our Spirit Fox Sect, and you will receive countless cultivation resources in the future."

Mu Hongguang continued, "What conditions do you require for me to join you?"

"Since you are so powerful, how can you possibly look down on an old man like me, a mere celestial being?"

Meng Tian said, "You are indeed cautious. All you need to do is stand on our side and get rid of the Great Xia Emperor. As for why we are trying to win you over, it's mainly because you still have some potential."

"Being able to cultivate to the Celestial Realm in a world with such scarce spiritual energy is enough to prove your talent."

"I've said my piece. Make your choice. If you join the Spirit Fox Sect, I have something else for you. I believe you've never seen anything like it in your entire life."

Hearing this, Lu Chen, disguised as Mu Hongguang, became interested. "Oh, what is it?"

Meng Tian said, "As long as you agree to join the Spirit Fox Sect now, I will give it to you immediately."

Lu Chen replied without hesitation, "Alright, I agree."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Meng Tian took out a stone that emitted a blue light from his clothes.

As soon as the blue stone was taken out, Lu Chen felt the abundant spiritual energy. He immediately understood what it was. Without Meng Tian explaining it to him, he knew that this stone was the spiritual stone, the common currency in the cultivation world.

Meng Tian then handed the spirit stones to Lu Chen and continued, "These are spirit stones, the common currency in the cultivation world. Spirit stones can not only be used for trading, but also for absorption."

"The spiritual energy in your low-level world is extremely thin. This one low-grade spirit stone is enough for you to absorb spiritual energy normally for a year."

After receiving the spirit stone, Lu Chen immediately absorbed the spiritual energy within it. His absorption speed was extremely fast; in just a short while, the entire spirit stone was absorbed by Lu Chen.

Seeing this, Meng Tian was stunned. He did not expect that a Celestial Being who was coming into contact with a spirit stone for the first time could absorb the entire spirit stone in such a short time.

Lu Chen looked at Meng Tian and asked, "Do you still have any spirit stones on you?"

Upon hearing this question, Meng Tian sneered and then said, "One spirit stone is enough. How many more spirit stones do you want? When the restrictions on the Misty World disappear and the Spirit Fox Sect arrives in this world, you can take on sect missions. You can earn as many spirit stones as you want yourself."

Lu Chen didn't dwell on the issue any longer. He would wait until he killed these guys to find out if they still had any spirit stones. His most important task now was to extract information from them.

Lu Chen then asked, "Why do you want to get rid of Emperor Xia? Wouldn't it be better to make him your puppet emperor?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, as if a new world had suddenly opened up for him.

Yes, why don't they just negotiate directly with Emperor Xia and get him to submit to the Spirit Fox Sect? That would be the same as the Spirit Fox Sect directly controlling Great Xia, making Great Xia a vassal state of the Spirit Fox Sect.

However, Meng Tian soon thought of a problem.

Meng Tian then said, "Emperor Xia's strength is considered quite formidable in this world; he might not be willing to be a puppet of the Spirit Fox Sect." (End of Chapter)
