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

A world shrouded in mist.

Mysterious Immortal Sect.

On the misty mountaintop, there lies a quiet bamboo forest, and nestled within it is a bamboo house.

At this very moment, people outside the bamboo house are reporting on the alliance between the Spirit Fox Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect.

After listening to the elder's report, Han Yuankai, who was meditating, opened his eyes. His face was expressionless, as if he didn't care at all about the alliance between the Spirit Fox Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect.

At this moment, the elder outside the door spoke up, "Sect Master, do you think there's anything we should do next?"

Upon hearing this question, Han Yuankai calmly replied, "No need. Once the restrictions on the Misty World disappear and my divine skills are fully mastered, even if those two major forces form an alliance, they will still be no match for the Misty Immortal Sect."

"Let them live a few more years."

Upon hearing Han Yuankai's words, the elder outside the bamboo house instantly became excited, having mastered the divine skill.

So, their sect leader is about to break through to the Myriad Laws Realm?

Once their sect leader breaks through to the Myriad Laws Realm, the Myriad Immortals Sect and the Spirit Fox Sect can be wiped out with a flick of their fingers. The gap between the Myriad Laws Realm and the Yin-Yang Realm is enormous; ten Yin-Yang Realm experts may not be a match for a Myriad Laws Realm expert.

Moreover, the Wanxian Sect and the Linghu Sect combined don't even have ten Yin-Yang Realm experts, so they are even less likely to be a match for the Mixian Sect.

At this moment, Han Yuankai thought to himself that his disciples should have already found Su Hanyan's two personal disciples.

He only needs to wait for the restrictions on the Misty World to disappear before he can immediately enter the Heavenly Chen World, and then use those two women as furnaces to cultivate the Heaven-Seizing Divine Art.

Once he can control the Heavenly Dao of the Tianchen World, or integrate his consciousness into the Tianchen World, breaking through to the Myriad Laws Realm will be a very easy thing for him.

Generally speaking, every world has its own Heavenly Dao, and it is difficult to control the Heavenly Dao without the strength of the Returning Void Realm.

However, the Tianchen World is an incomplete world, and there is no need to cultivate to the Guixu Realm.

He only needs to use the women of the Tianchen World as a medium to bewitch the Heavenly Dao of the Tianchen World and take the opportunity to control the entire Tianchen World. This is the so-called Heaven-Seizing Divine Art.

Of course, the women he used as furnaces would most likely die in the end because they couldn't withstand the powerful Heavenly Dao force, which is why he wanted Su Hanyan's two personal disciples.

First of all, they are both natives of the Tianchen World. Only natives of the Tianchen World can act as intermediaries to deceive the Heavenly Dao of the Tianchen World.

Secondly, both of them cultivated the techniques of the Bewitching Immortal Sect, and coupled with their talent, their strength would definitely improve faster than that of the people in the Heavenly Chen World after they returned.

They've probably entered the Dao Integration stage by now. Although the Dao Integration stage doesn't make them true cultivators, they're still stronger than ordinary people in the Tianchen World. This will allow them to hold out a little longer while he cultivates the Heaven-Seizing Divine Art.

Therefore, he must obtain Su Hanyan's two personal disciples. Even if Su Hanyan turns against him, he will still use those two female disciples as furnaces.

……

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Great Xia Dynasty, Yancheng.

Fengyun Palace.

Lu Chen lay on Mu Zixuan's jade-like legs, gazing at her beautiful face.

Now, Mu Zixuan has matured and exudes a more feminine charm.

After years of cultivation, Mu Zixuan has now reached the Grandmaster level. However, she has no real combat experience as a Grandmaster. The only thing that can be called real combat is using the Mysterious Maiden Skill to deal with Lu Chen in bed.

At this moment, Lu Chen raised his hand and gently stroked Mu Zixuan's jade-like leg, saying with a smile, "My wife, why aren't you wearing the new stockings from the Clothing Bureau today?"

In recent years, the Great Xia Dynasty has developed rapidly and has already established a certain industrial base. Although it is still mainly based on agriculture, it has produced a great many industrial products.

As industry developed, Lu Chen's wives and concubines had more and more styles of clothing. Whenever there were new clothes, Lu Chen would make his wives and concubines wear them.

Most modern clothes have already been replicated in this world, such as JK uniforms, OL (office lady) uniforms, pleated skirts, stockings, and so on.

Compared to modern people, the ancients looked much more interesting in those clothes because they were considered shameful. Every time Lu Chen's wives and concubines wore them, they felt extremely ashamed.

Seeing his woman's shy and bashful appearance, Lu Chen became extremely agitated.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, "If Your Majesty wishes to see, I will put it on now."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "No need, I'll lie down for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen closed his eyes, looking as if he was thoroughly enjoying this pleasant moment.

After a while, Lu Chen spoke up, "By the way, how are Feng'er and the others doing with their studies lately?"

Lu Chen's children are all of school age and Lu Chen usually entrusts their education to Mu Zixuan and arranges specific courses for them.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Mu Zixuan replied, "They all study very hard, and their scores on the latest tests were excellent. However, they don't seem to have much interest in poetry and literature."

Mu Zixuan's thinking was rather traditional, after all, she was a person of this era. In her eyes, poetry and songs were very important, and the children of the palace should focus their attention on poetry and songs, rather than learning some strange and unusual knowledge.

Although those things are indeed very useful to this world, Lu Chen's children are, after all, princes and princesses, and they must be distinguished from ordinary people.

Hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Oh? They're not interested in poetry and literature?"

"So what are they interested in?"

Mu Zixuan replied, "Take Feng'er for example. He especially likes to read folk novels. I discovered long ago that there are many folk novels piled up under his bed, but I didn't expose him."

Compared to Lu Chen, Mu Zixuan, as his mother, was stricter. In her opinion, Lu Changfeng was, after all, the crown prince, who would become emperor in the future. How could he put his mind on novels?

What can you learn from vernacular novels?

It's a complete waste of time.

Of course, although that's what she thought, she never directly exposed Lu Changfeng, and always pretended not to know that Lu Changfeng was reading novels. She never even touched the pile of novels under his bed.

Hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Lu Chen chuckled, then opened his eyes and looked into Mu Zixuan's eyes, saying, "It's normal for a child to have some hobbies. He can't study all day long. He needs to relax appropriately. As long as it doesn't interfere with his studies, let him watch what he wants."

Seeing that Lu Chendu had said this, Mu Zixuan had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Lu Chen continued, "As for the other children, each child has a different personality and is suited to different things. They should be allowed to decide for themselves what they should do in the future. Now is the time to cultivate their interests and hobbies. We can't let them all focus their minds on political struggles."

"There can only be one emperor. Only when they put their minds on things that they are truly interested in will they not always be thinking about that position when they grow up."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan instantly understood what he meant.

Indeed, the traditional education of the Great Xia royal family was to cultivate all the princes in the direction of becoming the crown prince. As a result, all the princes' minds were focused on vying for the throne, and they had no interest in doing anything else.

If they develop a strong interest in other things from a young age, they are more likely to reduce their desire for power as they grow up. Although it cannot completely eliminate their desire for power, at least they will still have things they want to do and will not feel that they have no other choice but to become emperor.

Now that the industrial base of Great Xia is in place and industrialization has begun, various professions will emerge in Great Xia as it develops.

If his princes and princesses could find things that interest them and focus their attention on those industries when they grow up, there would likely be far fewer instances of fratricide in the future.

Lu Chen suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, the children should have already started cultivating, right?"

Mu Zixuan replied, "Yes, they're already practicing. Sister Chu has been teaching them techniques recently."

Chu Yuqin possessed most of the memories of the Divine Martial Empress. She knew many cultivation techniques suitable for children, so she took the initiative to become the teacher of the princes' palace maids' cultivation classes.

Upon hearing Mu Zixuan's reply, Lu Chen said, "It's fine as long as they start cultivating. They are my bloodline, and their talents are all quite good. If they cultivate from a young age, they should be able to break through to the Celestial Realm before they even reach adulthood."

Against the backdrop of the spiritual energy revival in the Tianchen World, Lu Chen was quite concerned about his child's cultivation progress. They could tolerate poor academic performance in other areas, but they absolutely could not neglect cultivation.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. In addition, the Great Xia Dynasty will expand outwards in the future and will inevitably become more martial. As his descendants, we cannot be just ordinary people. We must have some ability to protect ourselves.

Of course, Lu Chen is different from other emperors. If his children do not have the talent for cultivation or have some defects that prevent them from cultivating, he will not despise them.

After all, they are his own children; he cannot be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the late emperor.

Just as Lu Chen was about to close his eyes and continue enjoying this peaceful moment, a female guard's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, the latest intelligence from Black Dragon City: the restrictions on the Misty World are about to dissipate!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said to Mu Zixuan, "Wife, I'll come again tonight."

Mu Zixuan smiled gently, "Your Majesty, please go and attend to your duties!"

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, and simply teleported to the imperial study in an instant. (End of Chapter)
