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

Chapter 691 Sect Master Su, His Majesty summons you!

The first Cultivator Conference of the Tianchen World was finally held in Black Dragon City. On the day of the conference, countless cultivators came to the outside of Black Dragon City, and the leaders of various forces went to Black Dragon City.

Lu Chen's purpose in convening this meeting was simple: to establish rules for the cultivators and let them know who would be in charge of the Tianchen World from now on.

The cultivators from the Misty World had no say in this meeting; they could only sit in the main hall and listen to the rules set for them by the Great Xia Dynasty.

After informing the cultivators of the laws governing cultivation in the Tianchen World, Lu Chen addressed the cultivators in the hall: "For righteous cultivators, these rules I have established are easy to follow. I hope you will remember the regulations that cultivators must abide by, and refrain from doing anything that you will regret."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the cultivators in the hall immediately replied in unison, "We will remember His Majesty's decree!"

After the cultivators finished speaking, Lu Chen continued, "In addition, if anyone wants to leave Black Dragon County and enter other counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, I can give you a chance, except in special circumstances."

"As long as you join the army of the Great Xia Dynasty and become its citizens, you can freely enter and leave other counties."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the hall looked at each other, instantly understanding what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen wanted to recruit them and make the cultivators of the Misty World work for him.

Seeing that the cultivators in the hall remained silent, Lu Chen continued, "I will not make things difficult for you. If you are willing to join the Great Xia army, there are some other benefits."

"For example, ling rice."

At this point, Lu Chen raised his hand and waved it, throwing a handful of spirit rice into the middle of the hall. The spirit rice floated in the middle of the hall, emitting a rich life force.

Sensing the pure life force emanating from the spirit rice, the eyes of all the cultivators in the hall lit up. They had never expected to see spirit rice in this lowly world.

Moreover, judging from the pure spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual rice, it must be at least of the highest quality. Consuming some of this spiritual rice would definitely be of great help to their cultivation.

However, this stuff is obviously not free; in a lower world, spirit rice of this quality would be even more precious.

Lu Chen continued, "The Great Xia Dynasty's army regularly consumes spirit rice, and every six months, the Great Xia Dynasty also allocates a considerable amount of spirit rice as a reward to soldiers who perform well."

"Of course, this is just one benefit of joining the Great Xia army. There are other benefits as well, which you will discover once you join."

At this point, Lu Chen waved his hand, and the spiritual rice in the air split into countless portions, flying to the cultivators in the main hall.

"Consider this a gift from me to you."

Although there was less than an ounce of spirit rice, consuming it would at least allow them to advance one minor realm.

The cultivators quickly collected the spirit rice that was floating in the air, and then they bowed to Lu Chen in unison, saying, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen then stood up and said, "Alright, the first Cultivator Conference has come to an end. From now on, I will hold the Cultivator Conference in Black Dragon City every year. If you have any ideas, you can also bring them up to me."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the hall looked at each other, and they instantly understood Lu Chen's reason for doing so.

The Xia Emperor presides over the annual cultivators' conference, signifying his complete control over all cultivation forces. From now on, all forces must obey him and the Great Xia Dynasty. Anyone who dares not to participate is tantamount to rebellion.

The Xia Emperor's actions were also a way of telling all the cultivators in the Tianchen World that there is no lawless place within the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if those cultivators stayed in Black Dragon County and did not go to other places in the Great Xia Dynasty, they were still directly managed by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the cultivators were somewhat displeased, there was nothing they could do. They had already witnessed Lu Chen's strength, and moreover, Lu Chen was surrounded by a large number of cultivators with the strength of the Creation Realm. Apart from the Myriad Immortals Sect, all the other forces in the Misty World combined were no match for the Great Xia Dynasty.

Submitting to the Xia Emperor is their only option now.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left through the side hall. The cultivators in the main hall immediately bowed, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

After Lu Chen left, the main hall instantly became abuzz with discussion, as lively as a vegetable market.

"Alas, I never imagined that we would one day be brought under the rule of a dynasty."

"Yes, I remember when I first wanted to cultivate myself, it was to escape the secular world, but in the end, I came full circle back to where I started."

"Cultivating immortality is about cultivating the mind. As long as there is abundant spiritual energy, you can cultivate anywhere, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"Do you want to join the Great Xia army? This spirit rice looks like top-grade spirit rice."

"You know what, I really want to join the Great Xia army. The Xia Emperor looks like the holy son of some great sect. If we follow him, we will definitely be able to get more cultivation resources in the future."

……

Listening to the discussions among the cultivators in the main hall, Su Hanyan looked at the handful of spirit rice in her hand and sighed inwardly.

The Cultivator Conference is over, and it's time for me to take the initiative to make a deal with Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Su Hanyan immediately walked out of the main hall. As soon as she stepped out, a maid came to her and said, "Sect Leader Su, His Majesty summons you. Please come with me."

Su Hanyan said calmly, "Okay."

Following that, led by a maid, Su Hanyan arrived at a bedroom in the backyard of the Black Dragon Kingdom's palace.

Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou were inside the palace, both dressed in bright red palace attire, sitting gracefully on a gold-embroidered carpet in the main hall.

Upon seeing Su Hanyan arrive, they immediately stood up and went to greet her.

"Master, you've arrived."

Seeing her two personal disciples, Su Hanyan had mixed feelings. She was, after all, their master, but in the end, she had to serve the same man as them.

It remains to be seen whether Lu Chen will keep his promise and release her two disciples.

Su Hanyan then asked, "Yunwan, Qingrou, what brings you here?"

"His Majesty said he has something to attend to and asked us to talk first."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanyan thought to herself, "Is Lu Chen trying to remind me that her two disciples are right here? If she wants to save them, she should obediently become his woman tonight?"

Just as Su Hanyan was lost in thought, Li Qingrou asked, "Master, have you made up your mind?"

Su Hanyan said calmly, "The Misty World is gradually collapsing. Even if I wanted to escape, I would have nowhere to go."

"It is my honor that Your Majesty has taken a liking to my humble self. I hope Your Majesty will not find me repulsive."

Hearing Su Hanyan's words, Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou felt a deep sadness.

Su Hanyan was clearly forced to become Lu Chen's woman because of Lu Chen's tyranny.

Su Hanyan then glanced at her two personal disciples and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You two should talk to your master about His Majesty's affairs."
