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

Although the spiritual energy of the Tianchen World has recovered, it is still very thin compared to the Ziyang World.

The cultivators in the Ziyang World are generally stronger than those in the Tianchen World.

If cultivators from the Ziyang World were allowed to enter the Tianchen World, it could very likely cause some trouble.

However, if cultivators from the Ziyang World could enter the Tianchen World and communicate with them, their cultivation techniques and secret manuals could enter the Tianchen World, which would help the cultivators of the Tianchen World improve their strength.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Chen said, "Two years from now, I will hold the Two Realms Cultivators Conference in the Tianchen World. After the conference, I will gradually lift the restrictions so that cultivators from both realms can enter either world."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the cultivators present became excited. They believed that Emperor Xia came from the Tianchen World, which must be better than the Ziyang World. If they could enter the Tianchen World to cultivate, their strength would definitely improve faster than in the Ziyang World.

Lu Chen then glanced at everyone present again before continuing, "Does anyone else have anything else to say? If not, the meeting is adjourned for today."

The leaders of the various factions present looked at each other again, but in the end no one stepped forward. They were there today to hear Lu Chen set the rules, and they dared not say too much.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Lu Chen then said, "Since everyone has nothing else to say, let's adjourn the meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's figure disappeared from the spot.

After Lu Chen left, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most when they came to participate in the cultivators' conference was that the Xia Emperor might dislike someone and randomly select a few people to make an example of.

Fortunately, Emperor Xia only set the rules and did nothing else, so his life was saved. The next issue is the division of power.

The division of the Ziyang World into two means that there will be two major forces in the Ziyang World in the future. Emperor Xia really wants them to fight each other.

Therefore, these forces must choose one side and remain neutral. If they do, they will surely suffer a terrible fate. Even if the Xia Emperor does not take action against them, the two major powers will not let the neutral faction off the hook.

They had to choose a power to protect them.

The main hall then became incredibly lively, with leaders of various factions forming alliances. Some chose to pledge allegiance to the Zixiao Dynasty, while others opted for the Immortal Alliance.

Thus, the prototypes of the two major forces in the Ziyang World were born.

Ten days later.

The Imperial Palace of the Zixiao Dynasty.

The palace was decorated with red lanterns and red ornaments, creating an incredibly festive atmosphere.

Today is the day Lu Chen marries Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya. Leaders of various forces in the Ziyang World have come and presented Lu Chen with many precious congratulatory gifts.

After the wedding banquet, Lu Chen arrived at Nangong Yuehua's palace. Nangong Yuehua was wearing a deep red robe and sitting quietly on a soft couch.

She wasn't wearing a veil; Lu Chen had already taken advantage of her, so such small formalities as wearing a veil were irrelevant to her.

After entering the room, Lu Chen saw the dignified and noble Nangong Yuehua sitting on the soft couch with a cold expression, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is my wife unhappy?"

"Does my wife not want to marry me?"

Nangong Yuehua said calmly, "Your Majesty is powerful; there is no woman in the world who wouldn't want to marry you."

Lu Chen teleported to the bedside, then reached out and lifted Nangong Yuehua's chin, gazing at her exquisite face.

"That's true, but why do I get the feeling you're really reluctant to marry me?"

Nangong Yuehua said, "Your Majesty, this deal is very worthwhile for me, and I am not unwilling."

Although Lu Chen's rage in Black Moon City had caused her to succumb to temptation, so much time has passed, and she has recovered. Now, she has no interest in men anymore.

After hearing Nangong Yuehua's words, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, but just stared at her beautiful eyes.

As Lu Chen stared at her so intently, Nangong Yuehua's heart began to race slightly, and the things Lu Chen had done to her in Black Moon City flashed through her mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Yuehua spoke first, "Your Majesty, it's late."

Although Nangong Yuehua is no longer interested in matters of love, she is, after all, married to Lu Chen, and she knows what duties she should fulfill as Lu Chen's woman.

Upon hearing Nangong Yuehua's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Is my wife in such a hurry?"

Nangong Yuehua didn't react much, but at this moment Lu Chen suddenly pushed her down onto the soft couch and placed a paw on her sash.

Nangong Yuehua sighed inwardly, hoping that Lu Chen would return to Tianchen World after this. Lu Chen must have quite a few women in Tianchen World, and once he went back, she wouldn't have to sleep with him anymore.

Just as Nangong Yuehua was thinking this, she heard a tearing sound. Nangong Yuehua was speechless. Lu Chen was a strong person, yet he was in such a hurry.

At that moment, Nangong Yuehua suddenly felt Lu Chen's lips seal hers, and then a strange sensation slowly arose.

Nangong Yuehua quickly circulated her internal energy, resisting the sensation as she had done in Black Moon City last time.

Lu Chen changed his tactics this time. Last time in Black Moon City, he felt that sealing off his wives' and concubines' spiritual power prevented them from circulating their energy and made it impossible to see their true reactions, so doing so was pointless.

However, his views have changed now. If he doesn't seal the spiritual power within her, a woman with strong endurance like Nangong Yuehua can resist it for a long time.

Using internal energy to resist bodily agitation is not entirely a genuine reaction.

Therefore, he decided to directly seal off the spiritual power within Nangong Yuehua's body this time.

Just as Nangong Yuehua was exerting her inner strength to resist, she suddenly found that she could no longer sense spiritual energy. She was as if she had become an ordinary person, and Nangong Yuehua was completely stunned.

After only a moment of distraction, Nangong Yuehua was overwhelmed by that bone-chilling feeling.

Nangong Yuehua instantly understood what was going on; it was clear that Lu Chen had used some means to seal her spiritual power.

Nangong Yuehua was completely suppressed. She had no way to control the restlessness in her body by circulating her internal energy, nor could she grit her teeth. All she could do was raise her jade hands and tightly hug Lu Chen's neck.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The next room.

A woman dressed in a deep red robe sat on the bed.

Nangong Qingya had already sensed that Lu Chen had gone next door, and she was curious why there was still no sound coming from next door.

Nangong Qingya slowly got up, walked to the window, looked at the full moon in the sky, and felt the cool water blowing on her face.

She thought to herself, "Lu Chen has been gone next door for so long, and he still hasn't gotten into the zone?"

She could actually use her spiritual power to sense what was happening next door, but she didn't intend to. If she did, Lu Chen would discover it, indirectly disturbing him, and she didn't want to spoil his fun. (End of Chapter)
