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

Lu Chen instantly saw through Liu Qingqiu's thoughts. He also knew that his wives and concubines were all worried that he would neglect his cultivation because of his infatuation with women.

Although he had reassured them more than once that the dual cultivation method would not affect his cultivation improvement, his wives and concubines still harbored some distrust of the dual cultivation method deep down.

Women like Yun Xianxian, who came from other worlds, were always skeptical of Lu Chen's dual cultivation method, while women like Mu Zixuan, who were native to the Tianchen world, didn't care at all and believed whatever Lu Chen said.

Of course, Lu Chen wasn't angry about this. He knew very well that they were concerned about him and afraid that he would go astray and take a path of no return.

At this moment, Lu Chen gently stroked Liu Qingqiu's snow-white back and said, "I know what you want to say, but think about it, it took me less than fifty years to cultivate from a mortal with no cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm. Even the most talented and aptitude cultivators in the cultivation world can't improve their cultivation as quickly as I have."

Whether I can continue down this path remains to be seen.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Liu Qingqiu realized that it was true, although Lu Chen's cultivation level was no longer improving much.

However, this is how it is in the cultivation world. The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to improve one's realm. In the past, they saw that Lu Chen's cultivation level improved too quickly, so when Lu Chen's cultivation level stagnated slightly, they felt that Lu Chen's original dual cultivation method was no longer feasible.

Such thinking is obviously wrong. If Lu Chen's cultivation method is not enough, then what about those cultivators who spent thousands of years barely breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm?

Whether Lu Chen's cultivation method is feasible or not depends on whether he can break through the shackles later.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqiu was too lazy to say anything more, and she was also too lazy to say anything more about Lu Chen's cultivation level.

At this moment, Liu Qingqiu focused her attention on Lu Chen. She raised her jade-like arm and hugged Lu Chen's neck, enjoying the happiness he brought her.

……

A month later.

Black Dragon City Palace.

Lu Chen stood in the middle of the imperial study, looking at the Heavenly Rank rune weapon he had created on the ground.

Yin Zhengye suggested, "Your Majesty, these two weapons haven't been named yet. Why don't you give them names?"

Lu Chen picked up a runic weapon resembling a sniper rifle, thought for a moment, and then said, "From now on, let's call this weapon the Vulcan Gun!"

At this point, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the cannon next to him. This cannon was no different from the cannons of the Great Xia Dynasty in the past, except that the cannons of today no longer used gunpowder, but spirit stones.

Lu Chen then continued, "As for this cannon, let's call it the Vulcan Cannon."

After speaking, Lu Chen turned to look at Yin Zhengye and continued, "Next, we need to speed up the process and produce more rune weapons."

Yin Zhengye replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen glanced at the Vulcan gun in his hand again, then at the Vulcan cannon, and said, "Now that the thing is made, it's time to test its power."

Lu Chen then stored the Vulcan Cannon from the Imperial Study into his spatial ring, and with a flash, he arrived in the void outside the Tianchen World.

After glancing at the world fragments floating silently in the void, he took out the Vulcan Cannon from his spatial ring.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen controlled the Vulcan Cannon and fired a shot at the world fragment floating in the void.

As Lu Chen channeled spiritual power into the Vulcan Cannon, the runes all over the cannon emitted a blue light. Once all the runes lit up with a blue light, a blue beam of light shot out directly from the Vulcan Cannon.

The distant fragment of the world was about the size of Mount Everest, but when the beam of light from the Vulcan cannon struck it, it instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the Vulcan Cannon would possess destructive power close to that of the Void Realm.

With the Vulcan Cannon, even when facing a large number of enemies at the Void Realm, the Tianchen World has a certain ability to protect itself.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad!"

Lu Chen's attention then turned to the Fire God Spear. The Fire God Spear required fewer spirit stones, so its power was naturally much weaker. Lu Chen did not have high expectations for the Fire God Spear.

After all, with a powerful weapon like the Vulcan cannon, the Vulcan rifle would be useless.

However, compared to the Vulcan Cannon, the Vulcan Gun is more advantageous for cultivators with lower cultivation levels to control.

Then Lu Chen raised the Vulcan Gun and pulled the trigger on another world fragment floating in the void. The next moment, another blue beam of light shot out, and that world fragment was also blasted into pieces, but the power was obviously much less, but it was still about the power of the first or second level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

A Celestial Realm cultivator can defeat a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Once such rune weapons are mass-produced, the Great Xia Dynasty's strength should be able to rival that of mid-level dynasties.

Of course, Lu Chen did not intend to provoke those old dynasties so soon; his priority was to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

His cultivation has now reached a bottleneck, and even absorbing the power of origin cannot break through to the next level. Now he can only hope that helping his wives and concubines conceive children will allow him to obtain a reward from the system to improve his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen returned to the Black Dragon City Palace. As soon as he entered the Imperial Study, Bai Qingqing came to him and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Lie requests an audience."

Hearing this, Lu Chen wondered why Lie Wende, instead of staying in the Blazing World, had come to find him in person.

"Let him in."

The next moment, Lie Wende entered the imperial study. Upon entering, he immediately bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is a royal dynasty, although Lu Chen's cultivation has not yet reached the Great Emperor realm, the emperors of most dynasties are called Emperors, not Sovereigns.

Upon hearing Lie Wende's title, Lu Chen curled his lip. He still found the title "Heavenly Emperor" somewhat unpleasant. Although he knew that calling him the Emperor of Xia was inappropriate now, the title "Heavenly Emperor" still felt a bit too arrogant.

Lu Chen didn't say much, just a formality, before asking, "What business do you have with me?"

Revende said, "Your Majesty, we conquered a lowly world yesterday."

Lu Chen asked, "So fast?"

Lu Chen originally only wanted them to investigate the situation of those worlds with life before sending troops, but the Blazing World actually conquered that world so quickly.

Lie Wende continued, "That world is called the True Martial World. The spiritual energy is extremely thin, and there are very few cultivators at the Creation Realm. So I simply sent troops to occupy that world."

Lu Chen realized that the other world was similar to the previous Tianchen world.

Lu Chen said directly, "I happen to have nothing to do today, so take me to see what that world is like."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" (End of Chapter)
