Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

News of Black Dragon County being obliterated by half its forces swiftly spread throughout the entire county. Upon hearing that Li Xinghuai and those who had tried to rebel were annihilated by the Sum Emperor, the remaining sect cultivators felt immensely relieved.

Relieved that they had not heeded the rumors and truly believed the news of the Sum Emperor's severe injuries; even more relieved that they had not accepted Li Xinghuai's invitation to join the rebellion.

The cultivators now suspected the Sum Emperor had intentionally secluded himself, then had someone spread news of his injury, all to root out those restless forces.

After dealing with the rebellious forces, the remaining forces became extremely compliant. Lu Chen's prestige once again reached new heights, and more cultivators chose to join the army of the Daxia Dynasty.

Once everything had settled, Lu Chen once again arrived at the intersection of Tianchen World and Ziyang World. Now that the Saint-level Puppetry had been cultivated to the second level, he was able to control puppets to travel further, hopefully without any restrictions on the puppet's range.

Arriving at the shattered spatial rift, Lu Chen immediately sent his puppet into Ziyang World. Entering Ziyang World, the puppet appeared in the same place as last time.

Lu Chen then used the puppet to survey the surroundings. This time, the puppet's exploration capabilities had substantially improved, and Lu Chen instantly detected the presence of Demonic Qi through the puppet, which was exceptionally dense.

Beneath that great mountain in Ziyang World, it was highly probable that a Heavenly Demon was sealed.

Of course, all this was speculation for now. Only by entering that world himself could he determine if it truly was a Heavenly Demon, or perhaps a great demon that had been assimilated by a Heavenly Demon.

Regardless of whether it was a Heavenly Demon or a Demon Cultivator, this situation could somewhat benefit Tianchen World, as the people of Ziyang World dared not easily enter that great mountain. Thus, they couldn't come through the rift to this world.

However, the thing sealed beneath the mountain might occasionally release some Demonic Qi into Tianchen World, turning some Tianchen cultivators into Demon Cultivators. This needed to be watched closely.

After reflecting for a moment, Lu Chen controlled his puppet to fly towards the other side of the mountain.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the mountain, there was a vast palace.

Within the depths of the palace, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly appeared within a cloud of black mist.

Feeling the object flying overhead, the Heavenly Demon burst into laughter, "A thousand years have passed, and finally, food has been delivered to my door; I can finally feast."

With those words, the Heavenly Demon immediately released Demonic Qi, attempting to pull down the object flying above the area of the Sealing. However, as his Demonic Qi touched the puppet in the sky, it simply dissipated on its own, utterly unable to catch the object.

The Heavenly Demon was momentarily stunned.

What was going on?

Why couldn't he catch it?

From his observations, the object in the sky was clearly a cultivator. Normally, any cultivator touched by his Demonic Qi would be corrupted by it, without him exerting any force, and the cultivator's body would fall.

Yet now, not only did the cultivator not fall, but he continued flying towards the outer periphery of the Sealing Grounds as if nothing had happened.

This was unacceptable. Considering the human cultivator's flying speed, it wouldn't be long before he flew out of the Sealing Grounds.

The Heavenly Demon released his Demonic Qi again, this time using even more in an attempt to bring Lu Chen's puppet down from the sky.

However, the result was the same as before, achieving nothing; that "human cultivator" continued to fly towards the distance.

At that moment, Lu Chen in Tianchen World also perceived the approach of a vast amount of Demonic Qi through his puppet. Lu Chen then glanced through the puppet's vision at the mountain below.

At that moment, a lot of black Qi emerged from the forest of the mountain, clearly the power of the Heavenly Demon, forming hands like those of humans, attempting to pull down the puppet.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's lips curved slightly upwards. It seemed that the thing sealed beneath the mountain thought the object flying above was a cultivator, hence trying to pull it down.

Unfortunately, the puppet also inherited half the power of the Demon Burying Spell. Even without the Demon-Expelling Banner, just relying on the Demon Burying Spell alone, those streams of Demonic Qi couldn't approach his puppet.

Lu Chen disregarded the demonic Qi-formed hands and continued flying out of the sealing grounds.

Seeing that the cultivator in the sky had not been affected at all, the Heavenly Demon became extremely agitated.

"Why!!!"

"Why can my demonic Qi not affect that human cultivator!!!"

After the Heavenly Demon became agitated, the entire mountain also began to shake, affecting the humans outside the sealing grounds.

Soon, Lu Chen flew out of the sealing grounds. Outside the sealing grounds was a human city. This city was not large, but its walls were built along the mountain, much like the Great Wall on Earth.

Clearly, the people of the Ziyang World were aware of the existence of demonic-related things inside the sealing grounds, hence the defensive wall was constructed.

To avoid arousing the suspicions of the cultivators of this world, Lu Chen descended from the sky to the ground and walked towards the city.

As he approached the entrance of the city, a woman suddenly appeared before Lu Chen, blocking his way.

The woman was dressed in a pink cloud gown, her figure graceful, like a delicate flower swaying gently in the breeze.

Her features were as lovely as the moon, her brows and eyes exuding a cold aura, like the ice and snow on the mountain—pure and inviolable. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

Her hair fell like a waterfall, shining black, each strand seeming to contain the vitality of life.

Her eyes were deep and bright, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, shimmering with the light of wisdom.

Her lips were red and rosy, slightly upturned, full of allure.

Her skin was pale as snow, smooth and delicate, as if nature's most perfect masterpiece.

At that moment, "Puppet Lu Chen" glanced at the Spirit Sword in the woman's hand.

Evidently, this woman was a cultivator.

Subsequently, Lu Chen used his system to identify the woman's identity.

[Name: Ji Qiuyu]

[Identity: City Lord of Black Moon City in the Great Chu Dynasty of the Ziyang World, 900 years old, Genesis Realm in strength, she is very curious about your identity, wanting to know why you dare to come to Black Moon City at this time.]

[Favorability: 30]

Without expression, Ji Qiuyu asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Chen calmly replied, "A man."

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu gave Lu Chen a speechless look, thinking that was a dumb statement.

Since Lu Chen did not understand the situation in this world and feared exposing his identity, he said, "I felt that the demonic Qi in the depths of the mountain was getting denser, so I came to see how things were here."

"If the situation here looks bleak, I might consider whether it's time to leave the Great Chu Dynasty."

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu thought to herself, so he came to scout the status of the sealing grounds.

Then Ji Qiuyu scoffed and said, "Another one who fears death."
