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

Ever since the Heavenly Rainbow Empress awakened, she has been observing Lu Chen.

Although Lu Chen's cultivation level improved very quickly at the beginning, in her opinion, the cultivation level that was rapidly improved through dual cultivation was all superficial and the foundation was not solid. In the future, he would definitely not be able to prove himself as an emperor.

As an emperor, she had lived through countless years and seen many people who had attained the Dao and become emperors, but she had never seen anyone become an emperor through the method of dual cultivation.

Even for those evil cultivators, demonic cultivators, and those practicing dual cultivation, it is merely an auxiliary cultivation method.

This lecherous man's attempt to become a Daoist emperor through dual cultivation is nothing short of delusional.

But then again...

Empress Tianhong quietly watched Lu Chen's swaying figure and discovered that he was emanating a trace of primal power. This guy wasn't even a Great Emperor, so how could he obtain primal power?

Empress Tianhong found this very puzzling.

Not just anyone can control the power of origin. Generally, only those who reach the Great Emperor realm can come into contact with the power of origin.

This little thing is only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet it already possesses the power of origin. It seems there's a great secret about it.

Perhaps he is the reincarnation of some great emperor...

At the same time, while Lu Chen was busy, he suddenly noticed a figure in the corner of the main hall.

Seeing the red-clad woman who was faintly visible, Lu Chen was a little confused. Why did the spirit of the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat come to this room today?

The spirit of the immortal ship can certainly appear anywhere on the immortal ship, but in the past, the spirit of the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship would not leave the formation that controlled the immortal ship on its own.

Moreover, Lu Chen felt that the spirit of the immortal boat was acting strangely today. Her gaze was fixed on him, and although her face remained expressionless, Lu Chen felt as if she possessed human thoughts.

Lu Chen glanced at the system data again. The system still showed that the spirit of the Flying Goose Immortal Boat was just a spirit and had no other identity.

Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this artifact spirit has already acquired intelligence close to that of a human?

The idea that a spirit possesses human intelligence isn't unusual in the world of cultivators; he had read many similar novels when he was on Earth.

Of course, we cannot conclude that the spirit of the immortal ship has gained intelligence simply because she moved her position. After all, she is the spirit of the immortal ship, and she can appear anywhere on the ship.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen took another look at Empress Tianhong.

Empress Tianhong is stunningly beautiful, exuding a cold and noble aura that makes people hesitant to look directly into her eyes.

Lu Chen thought to himself that if the spirit of the immortal boat were human, its score would definitely be over ninety.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt a surge of restlessness and then began to severely injure Nangong Yuehua.

At this moment, Empress Tianhong also noticed that Lu Chen was staring straight at her. Seeing that the little thing was doing that kind of thing while staring at her, Empress Tianhong felt offended.

Empress Tianhong seriously suspected that he might have also developed a strong interest in her, the spirit of the artifact.

Although she is not a true artifact spirit in essence, she is currently appearing before Lu Chen as one. If this guy develops feelings for her, the artifact spirit, then he is truly beyond saving.

Seeing Lu Chen's speed increasing, Empress Tianhong felt a strange unease. Could this little thing have actually developed an interest in her?

Although she had no expression on her face, she felt a sense of rejection towards Lu Chen. She was, after all, an empress, and no one had ever dared to look her in the eye before. Now, she had been reduced to being used as "appetizer" by others.

Just then, Lu Chen's expression became somewhat distorted. Seeing this, Empress Tianhong could no longer bear it.

How ugly!

Empress Tianhong then left the main hall and returned to the array plate that controlled the immortal ship.

After Lu Chen recovered, he breathed a deep sigh of relief. When he looked at that corner of the main hall again, he found that the spirit of the immortal boat was no longer there.

Lu Chen wondered to himself, "Could she have really developed the same intelligence as humans?"

Never mind, we'll find out later. The most important thing right now is to get Nangong Yuehua pregnant with Zishijie.

After that, Lu Chen stopped thinking about it and focused all his energy on Nangong Yuehua.

A month later.

Lu Chen finally heard the system notification.

[Congratulations, host, for helping your wife, Nangong Yuehua, conceive a child. You are rewarded with one Refining Void Pill.]

After hearing the system notification, Lu Chen finally stopped, and Nangong Yuehua collapsed onto the bed.

Lu Chen opened the system interface and glanced at the effects of the Refining Void Pill.

[Refining Void Pill: A Saint-grade pill. After a Nascent Soul cultivator takes it, there is a very high probability that they will break through to the Void Returning Realm.]

Upon seeing this introduction, Lu Chen was immediately stunned.

The effect is so good?

He has been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for some time now, and his cultivation level has not fluctuated at all recently.

It's useless whether you practice dual cultivation or cultivate alone.

Of course, this is actually quite normal in the cultivation world. If it were as easy for cultivators to improve their cultivation as it was for Lu Chen, then the cultivation world would be full of Great Emperors long ago.

Lu Chen also understood that his cultivation speed was already relatively fast, but after experiencing that state of rapid cultivation improvement, he could no longer tolerate the days when his cultivation remained unchanged.

Lu Chen wondered if the pill would be effective and if it could help him break through to the Returning Void Realm in one go.

The system description says there is a high probability, and since it's a probability, there are two possibilities.

Regardless of whether it helps him break through to the Returning to the Void Realm or not, it will at least improve his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen took out the pills without hesitation.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuehua, who was panting heavily, was slightly taken aback.

Lu Chen is...

Drug use?

What kind of pills did Lu Chen take?

Could it be that he...?

Thinking about what she had gone through in the past month, Nangong Yuehua's originally rosy cheeks turned pale.

She had never seen Lu Chen take any pills halfway through a journey before.

Lu Chen was already so fierce without taking any pills; if he did take them, wouldn't he be...?

Nangong Yuehua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... Phew... Your Majesty, isn't it... almost done?"

Lu Chen did not answer Nangong Yuehua's question, but quietly felt the medicinal power of the Refining Void Pill spreading in his body.

The next moment, the medicinal power of the Refining Void Pill spread throughout Lu Chen's body, and his spiritual power instantly became restless. Then, Lu Chen's sea of ​​consciousness expanded rapidly, and his dantian seemed to transform into a vast ocean.

The Returning to the Void Realm is a qualitative change for cultivators. Lu Chen feels very strange now, as if the entire Thousand Blade World is under his control.

Lu Chen was somewhat relieved that he hadn't attacked Lie Hongyun, who was already at the first level of the Returning to Nothingness Realm, back in the Blazing Flame World.

Although he possessed the strength of the Returning Void Realm after donning the Holy Radiance Armor at that time, there is still a significant difference between the cultivation level of the Returning Void Realm and the strength of possessing the Returning Void Realm.

Possessing the strength of the Returning Void Realm means that one's power in attack is roughly equivalent to that of a Returning Void Realm expert, but in a real battle, a Nascent Soul Realm expert would most likely be no match for a Returning Void Realm expert. (End of Chapter)
