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

Although Empress Tianhong still maintained a cold demeanor, Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to it. He used the system to assess Empress Tianhong's condition.

Name: Empress Tianhong

[Identity: Reborn Empress, currently at the first level of Sainthood. After her demise in the outer realms, her soul was sealed within a celestial vessel by a mysterious being, becoming its spirit. The physical body created for her by the host helped her successfully revive. To repay the karmic debt, she intends to remain by the host's side. Because her body was created using the branches of a dragon and phoenix tree, it constantly yearns for closeness with the host, which greatly worries her.]

Rating: 100

【Favourability: 80】

Lu Chen was quite surprised to see that Empress Tianhong's cultivation had indeed recovered to the Saint realm.

This Empress Tianhong has been quietly cultivating alone without making a fuss, and has actually recovered to the Saint Realm. Her cultivation speed has far surpassed mine.

She still had a system, so how could someone without a system improve their cultivation so quickly? Lu Chen even suspected that she might have a cheat code.

This is understandable, though, since he was an empress in his previous life and possesses her memories.

Lu Chen's gaze then fell on the favorability rating of the Heavenly Rainbow Empress.

Seeing that Empress Tianhong's favorability rating had already reached eighty, Lu Chen smiled slightly.

He remembered that when he resurrected Empress Tianhong, her favorability rating was only 30. Even though he did nothing to Empress Tianhong, her favorability rating naturally rose to 80, which was quite good.

Lu Chen said directly, "I have some questions about Emperor Cheng that I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Empress Tianhong frowned slightly. The question of becoming an emperor? Lu Chen came to ask her about becoming an emperor?

Could it be that this guy figured something out?

She quickly realized that Lu Chen was already at the third level of Sainthood. If it were someone else at the third level of Sainthood, it would be countless tens of thousands of years before they became an Emperor. But Lu Chen was different. With the speed at which Lu Chen's cultivation improved, he would probably become an Emperor in a few years.

It's unbelievable that this guy is almost at the point of becoming an emperor. When she first recovered, she always thought that Lu Chen was a hopeless good-for-nothing who only knew how to cling to women and would never become an emperor in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this guy has already reached the Saint Realm and is heading towards the path of the Great Emperor. Could it be that he really wants to become an emperor by relying on his so-called Dao of Life?

The thought of Lu Chen boasting about his Dao of Life to his wives and concubines made Empress Tianhong feel awkward. If enjoying the pleasures of love every day could lead to becoming an emperor, then if Lu Chen really did, countless cultivators in this universe would have their Dao hearts shattered.

Lu Chen then continued, "As the spirit of the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat, you must have existed for countless years, so you must know quite a lot."

Empress Tianhong then asked, "Does Your Majesty have a problem?"

Lu Chen continued, "I heard that before one can become an Emperor, one must merge with all one's secondary bodies?"

Empress Tianhong did not answer immediately. She glanced at Lu Chen expressionlessly. Lu Chen's face was calm, indicating that he was not joking with her.

Logically speaking, Lu Chen, as a reincarnated Great Emperor, couldn't possibly be unaware that he must merge with all his secondary bodies before becoming a Great Emperor, given that he has experience in this field.

Empress Tianhong quickly realized that Lu Chen had probably not fully recovered his memories of his past life, which was why he didn't know what he needed to do before becoming a Dao Emperor.

Empress Tianhong then replied, "If a cultivator has extremely high talent and a special physique, their main body and secondary body can also separately attain the Dao and become an emperor."

"But there are no more than five cultivators in a universe who can separate their main body and secondary body to become emperors. For most cultivators, before they can become emperors, they must integrate the cultivation insights of all their secondary bodies. Only in this way can they have a better chance."

At this point, Empress Tianhong glanced at Lu Chen, thinking to herself that Lu Chen's origins were so mysterious that he might also be able to separate his main body and secondary body to become an emperor.

Of course, there's no real need to do this. After becoming emperor, creating a few more secondary bodies would be the same thing.

Moreover, once one becomes emperor, the physical body becomes unimportant. As long as the emperor's soul remains, the emperor will live forever.

Empress Tianhong then asked, "Do you want the main body and the secondary body to attain enlightenment separately, walking different paths to becoming emperors?"

Out of curiosity, Empress Tianhong still asked the question that had been bothering her.

Lu Chen said, "That's not it. I'm just worried that the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan might have an avatar. If he escapes, it will only bring more trouble to the Great Xia Dynasty."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Empress Tianhong thought to herself, "That makes sense. How could anyone in this era possibly split off a body to walk a different imperial path?"

If it were billions of years ago, in an era of great strife, perhaps some chosen ones would have done this. But now, with a great calamity looming, everyone is thinking about becoming emperor as quickly as possible to avoid the disaster, and no one would take such a risk.

Just as Empress Tianhong was lost in thought, Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Why does it feel like Honghong is a little different today? She doesn't seem as sparing with words as before."

Hearing Lu Chen's teasing, Empress Tianhong instantly snapped back to reality. The next moment, her expression turned even colder, and she seemed to emanate a faint pressure. Empress Tianhong coldly asked, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Empress Tianhong suddenly changed her expression again, Lu Chen didn't care. Instead, he said, "Honghong, isn't your cultivation level improving a bit too fast? You've already broken through to the Saint Realm."

When Empress Tianhong saw that Lu Chen had seen through her cultivation level, she was stunned again. She had cultivated a secret technique to hide her cultivation level. Even if Lu Chen was a saint or an emperor, he should not be able to see through her cultivation level.

Why did this guy see through my cultivation level at a glance?

This is not a good thing. If this guy finds out that he is the reincarnation of the Empress, who knows what will happen.

Having been around this bastard for so long, she knew very well what Lu Chen liked. This bastard loved to torment women who seemed high and mighty, like empresses or something.

Her identity might provoke Lu Chen and trigger his fetishes.

Empress Tianhong couldn't offer any explanation at this point. She knew very well that the more she said, the more likely she would expose herself. So she said, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to attend to, please go and attend to your own business."

Lu Chen did not press the matter further. He simply smiled faintly and then teleported away from Empress Tianhong's palace.

Seeing that Lu Chen had left, Empress Tianhong's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

The moment Lu Chen entered the room, she felt her body stirring, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable. She had already guessed why her body felt that way about Lu Chen.

Lu Chen used the tea leaves of the Dragon and Phoenix Tree to control his wives and concubines, but the body of hers was created using branches of the Dragon and Phoenix Tree. Clearly, the abnormalities in her body were caused by the Dragon and Phoenix Tree.

What she couldn't understand was why the power of the Dragon and Phoenix Tree was so terrifying. She possessed the divine soul of an emperor, so she should have been able to control this impulse.

But she tried many times and still couldn't get rid of that restless feeling.

This feeling was starting to affect her cultivation; if she didn't find a way to eliminate it, she might not be able to recover her Great Emperor cultivation level. (End of Chapter)
