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

Mu Qinglan possesses the cultivation level of a fifth-level Saint, while the Supreme Elder of the Canghai Sect is only at the second level of Saint. It is highly likely that the Supreme Elder of the Canghai Sect is no match for Mu Qinglan.

However, if the Supreme Elder of the Canghai Sect is dealt with, and the Canghai Sect members spread the word about the Chaos Star Sea, making more people aware of its existence and the Tianchen World, then more forces and powerful individuals will inevitably flock to the Chaos Star Sea.

If the existence of the Tianchen World were to become known to Quasi-Emperor Huangshan, and he were to emerge from seclusion prematurely and come to the Chaos Star Sea, then they would likely have no choice but to flee.

At this moment, Lu Chen's expression was extremely serious. After thinking it over and over, Lu Chen couldn't come up with a good solution, and he was too lazy to continue worrying.

If that Quasi-Emperor Huangshan really comes out of seclusion ahead of time and comes to the Tianchen World, and they are no match for Quasi-Emperor Huangshan, then he can just take his people and leave the Chaos Star Sea.

There's no use thinking about it now. After all, if the Canghai Sect is coming, there's nothing he can do to stop them. Once the Canghai Sect arrives in the Chaos Star Sea, the two sides will definitely clash.

As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he couldn't possibly just stand by and watch the Canghai Sect invade the Chaos Star Sea.

Even if the other party is a saint, they still have to take action; there is no room for compromise.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Lu Chen plans to make preparations in advance.

Lu Chen then transmitted his voice to Mu Qinglan, and the next moment, Mu Qinglan, dressed in a green robe, appeared in the imperial study.

Mu Qinglan exuded a faint Daoist aura, her hair was tied up in a high bun, and after doing that kind of thing with Lu Chen, she became even more charming and alluring.

Seeing Lu Chen staring intently at her body, Mu Qinglan couldn't help but show a hint of shyness on her usually cool face.

"Your Majesty, is there something you need from me?"

When Lu Chen sent her a telepathic message, she thought he wanted her to use the Mysterious Maiden Technique to lock him up again. However, when she arrived at the Imperial Study, she realized that Lu Chen must have something important to discuss with her.

Lu Chen handed the letter directly to Mu Qinglan. After taking the letter, Mu Qinglan glanced at it carefully and was slightly taken aback when she saw its contents.

Then Mu Qinglan asked, "Does Your Majesty suspect that the Canghai Sect intends to attack the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Lu Chen said, "The possibility is very high, and we need to prepare in advance."

Mu Qinglan thought for a moment. If, as the intelligence report stated, the Canghai Sect only had one Saint Level 2 expert, then as long as she was there, the Canghai Sect wouldn't pose much of a threat.

However, the real threat is not the Canghai Sect, but the fact that the Canghai Sect revealed the existence of the Tianchen World to other forces.

If other forces in the Huangshan Star Region were to learn that there is a star region near the Huangshan Star Region that is not marked on the star map, people would definitely think that there is some secret hidden in this star region, and thus send people to investigate.

Mu Qinglan said, "Shall we go to the Thousand-Ren World now?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, "Let's wait a while, I have some things to explain."

Even if the Canghai Sect were to come to the Chaos Star Sea, it wouldn't be something they could do in just a day or two. Lu Chen planned to explain some things in the coming days.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he got up from his seat and asked Lu Changfeng to issue an official document. He was preparing to convene a conference of cultivators.

Nowadays, the Cultivator Conference is no longer limited to one world. Whenever a Cultivator Conference is held, cultivation forces from the Chaos Star Sea will come to participate. Of course, those who can participate in the Cultivator Conference are some of the more powerful forces.

After the Great Xia Dynasty issued its official document, the top leaders of the various forces in the Chaos Star Sea all headed to Black Dragon City.

When people heard that the Heavenly Emperor was personally presiding over this cultivators' conference, they guessed that something must be about to happen in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whenever the Heavenly Emperor presides over a cultivators' conference, it is always because something very important has happened, and there is a high probability that an external enemy has invaded.

Three days later, the Cultivators' Conference was held in the Black Dragon City Council Hall. The high-ranking officials of various forces sat below the council hall, quietly waiting for Lu Chen on the dragon throne to speak.

Lu Chen glanced at the cultivators in the hall and then said, "The main reason for holding this cultivator conference is that an external enemy is about to invade the Chaos Star Sea. Moreover, that force is a major sect with cultivators at the Saint Realm."

Upon hearing this, the hall immediately descended into chaos.

"As expected, enemies have invaded!"

"Heavens! A Saint-level cultivator! Does that mean the Chaos Star Sea is doomed?"

"What do we do now? We're probably no match for a saint, aren't we?"

"What are you panicking for? His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor will surely have a solution!"

"That's a saint! His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor isn't a saint yet, is he?"

……

Listening to the various discussions in the hall, Lu Chen did not interrupt, but let them talk as they pleased.

For Lu Chen, every crisis that befell the Great Xia Dynasty was an opportunity to consolidate its internal power.

Whenever a crisis occurs, some factions within the Great Xia Dynasty will want to betray it. As long as these factions with treacherous intentions are eliminated, those who remain will be loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty.

After repeated purification, those who remained were the most loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty.

The reason why Lu Chen holds a cultivators' conference every time he encounters a crisis is twofold. On the one hand, it is to let these people know what is happening in the Great Xia Dynasty and make them feel a sense of urgency. On the other hand, he wants to use the crisis to see if he can lure out some people with ulterior motives.

If it were simply a matter of dealing with this crisis, Mu Qinglan would be sufficient; there would be no need to notify these people.

But if this is done every time, and he always steps in to resolve crises, while these people do nothing, then the people of the Great Xia Dynasty will lose their sense of crisis.

These people might even think that as long as the Great Xia Dynasty has a Heavenly Emperor, everything else is irrelevant to them.

What Lu Chen needed to do was to make them feel like protagonists and understand that they were bound to the Great Xia Dynasty.

After an unknown amount of time, the council hall gradually quieted down. At this moment, people noticed that the Heavenly Emperor sat calmly on the dragon throne, seemingly not taking the crisis to heart at all.

People couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Heavenly Emperor had already broken through to the realm of a sage? Is that why the Heavenly Emperor was so calm?

Just then, a cultivator boldly asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask what realm you are currently in?"

The cultivators' gathering emphasizes speaking freely, which is Lu Chen's consistent principle. He didn't care at all about the direct question about his cultivation level. He calmly replied, "Eighth level of the Returning Void Realm."

Upon hearing this, the council hall erupted in discussion once again.

This is really troublesome. The Heavenly Emperor is only at the Returning to the Void Realm. How could they possibly be a match for Saint Realm cultivators?

Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to be destroyed so soon?

The Great Xia Dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago. How could a dynasty be destroyed so quickly?

While some are saddened, others are joyful. The Heavenly Emperor has been suppressing the development of various forces, and the existence of the Great Xia Dynasty is not a good thing for many cultivation forces.

Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to be destroyed, it also brings a glimmer of hope for those forces. (End of Chapter)
