Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife
Chapter 1430 - 1120: The Fall of Emperor Shenwu

Seeing Chu Yunzhi speak for the Guiyi Sect, Lu Chen moved again and began to exert himself fiercely.

"How can it have nothing to do with them? I almost lost you."

Chu Yunzhi furrowed her eyebrows tightly, lips slightly parted, "I... ah!"

"When I reincarnated... I used all my strength to deduce... the future..."

"The future shows... that Emperor Shenwu holds something very important to you... Ah~"

"Moreover... deep within my Divine Soul, there is a sword embryo that nourishes together with yours. If I encounter any danger, it will erupt."

Lu Chen was stunned again, a sword embryo?

If the sword embryo erupts, Chu Yunzhi's fate would be to have her Divine Soul utterly annihilated, disappearing completely.

The sword embryo that Chu Yunzhi nurtured is akin to the Purity Lock; from a female perspective, it's not a good thing.

Seeing Lu Chen suddenly stop, his gaze flashing with complex emotions, Chu Yunzhi continued, "Phew... this is my own choice..."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Sigh, now that I think about it, I really am not a human."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyun, who was beside him, sneered, realizing that this guy finally acknowledged he wasn't human; he was no different from a beast.

Lu Chen continued, "The item you deduced in your past life should be the Sky Evolution Stone."

The Sky Evolution Stone fell from the Reincarnation Stone, and within the Reincarnation Stone was the sealed memory, which was indeed very important to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen sighed again and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things. If the Guiyi Sect wishes to come, then let them come."

As he finished speaking, Lu Chen continued with his tasks, but this time without intensity.

Feeling the gentle demeanor of Lu Chen, Chu Yunzhi, conversely, felt somewhat uneasy. If she had cultivated the Sword Dao like in her past life, such things wouldn't matter as much.

But in this life, she walked the Path of Love, and Lu Chen's tenderness wasn't necessarily a good thing for her.

Chu Yunzhi then mobilized the Power of Dao, with the Dao Charm of the Path of Love surrounding Lu Chen. Influenced by this force, Lu Chen's eyes gradually turned red, and all his Spiritual Power rampaged, needing to be expelled urgently.

Lu Chen immediately realized this was caused by Chu Yunzhi. He looked at her with confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yunzhi's cheeks blushed deeply, looking at Lu Chen with affectionate eyes, holding no answer.

Her reaction at this moment was already the best answer.

Lu Chen immediately understood what this meant, his gaze became sharp instantly, before coldly snorting, "Regardless of whether you have a sword embryo inside, you shouldn't be this reckless!"

"I don't allow my woman to get entangled with other men!"

"You're still going to be punished!"

Then Lu Chen intensified on Chu Yunzhi, just as before.

Liu Qingyun looked speechlessly at the two of them. Just when she finally got some relief, Chu Yunzhi released the power of her Love Path again, affecting her once more.

She best hurry and leave this place of trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun gently stood up, preparing to flee the scene.

But just at that moment, Lu Chen's Quasi-Emperor clone suddenly appeared before her, smiling at her and saying, "Yun'er, where are you going?"

Liu Qingyun's mind froze; how did she forget Lu Chen had more than one body?

Liu Qingyun tried to calm herself, feigning composure, and said, "I won't disturb your cultivation anymore."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How is this disturbing?"

"Yunzhi even released the Power of Dao; this can actually aid our cultivation. If you leave now, wouldn't that let her good intentions go to waste?"

Under the influence of the Power of Love Dao, Liu Qingyun's Spiritual Power would become increasingly agitated, enhancing the flow of Spiritual Power during cultivation, making dual cultivation more effective.

Of course, the side effect was that Liu Qingyun would lose control over herself.

Liu Qingyun said again, "Qingqiu just mentioned she was feeling a bit unwell. I'm going to check on her."

Saying this, Liu Qingyun prepared to escape the scene. Yet after taking only a few steps, Lu Chen pulled her back.

Then Lu Chen pinned her against the rooftop railing, "I'm right next to Qingqiu. Wouldn't I know if she's feeling unwell?"

Liu Qingyun was dumbfounded, realizing she forgot Lu Chen had more than one clone.

Rip...

"You!"

...

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

During this period, none of Lu Chen's confidantes became pregnant, leading him to suspect if it was his problem.

Though it's indeed difficult for a Great Emperor to have children, someone did conceive before; Empress Tianhong and Chu Yuqin both became pregnant.

Even though the child in Empress Tianhong's belly hasn't been born yet, she still got pregnant.

Yet, there was no movement at all from other women.

His main body never stopped all these years, even employing the Power of Dao from the Creation Dao, but to no avail.

Shuyun Star Domain, Skywind World.

Lu Chen's Guixu Realm Ninth Layer clone traveled here aboard the Immortal Boat, beginning a quest to find women potentially meeting system criteria.

But as in past years, he hasn't found any new women who fit the criteria till now, even those he met who were very beautiful only scored eighty-nine.

This made Lu Chen wonder if there are no ninety-score women left in this universe, or if any ninety-score women exist, the system would send them to the Daxia Dynasty automatically, negating the need for him to search.

Looking over his experiences over the years, most of his women came to him naturally or their clones appeared in the Daxia Dynasty due to various reasons even if their main body didn't come.

Moreover, in such a vast universe with such a large population, finding a woman meeting system criteria among the vast sea of people is like finding a needle in a haystack unless ninety-score women are everywhere.

But from current observations, ninety-score women likely had some connection with him in their past life, and finding them everywhere is unlikely.

Some teahouse.

Lu Chen's clone sat near the window, wearing a stack of straw hats, watching cultivators moving back and forth down below.

He thought to himself, perhaps there really isn't any ninety-score women left in this universe. Given the system's nature, if such women still exist, they probably have been sent to him long ago.

Especially concerning that Red Flower Sedan, although he didn't know its origins, it likely had something to do with the system.

If there aren't any ninety-score women left, perhaps he should wrap things up—first dealing with Lie Hongyun and Pei Shuhua within the Daxia Dynasty, then figuring out a way to take down Yun Xianxian's main body, Yun Qingshu.

As soon as he thought of Yun Qingshu's coldly beautiful face, Lu Chen felt his blood boiling.

While Lu Chen's thoughts were elsewhere, discussions from nearby Guixu Realm cultivators were heard.

"Alas, life is getting tougher."

"The number of Heavenly Demons keeps increasing; who knows what's happening in the Outer Domain now."

"How can you still care about the Outer Domain's situation now; that's a place only Great Emperors can go to. Better be concerned with the changes in the Shenyue Dynasty."

"What's happening in the Shenyue Dynasty?"

One person sighed and said, "Not long ago, it was reported that Emperor Shenwu had problems with cultivation and fell."
