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

"What is it now, Lord Star River Palace Master, please speak frankly."

After seeing that Immortal Venerable Yunmeng had set up the isolation formation, Immortal Venerable Xinghe asked directly, "The Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Scripture must be an immortal technique that Lu Chen brought out from the Chaos Sea, right?"

Upon hearing Xinghe Immortal Venerable mention Lu Chen, Yunmeng Immortal Venerable frowned slightly. At this moment, Yunmeng Immortal Venerable believed that Xinghe Immortal Venerable had come for Lu Chen.

They were probably after the potential opportunities that Lu Chen might have.

As the master of a palace, Xinghe Immortal Venerable wouldn't make the trip himself without a sufficiently great temptation. Could it be that Xinghe Immortal Venerable also believes that Lu Chen might have the opportunity to become an emperor?

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng then coldly said, "What are you saying, Lord Xinghe Palace Master? The Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Scripture is an immortal technique given to us by our ancestor. How did it become an immortal technique that Lu Chen brought out from the Chaos Sea?"

Seeing that Yunmeng Immortal Venerable did not admit it, Xinghe Immortal Venerable chuckled, "Palace Master Yunmeng, let's be frank. I heard that on the Northern Battlefield, someone from your Xuan Yue Palace severely injured an Immortal Venerable-level Heavenly Demon with only the strength of an Immortal King."

"I really can't think of any other Immortal King besides Lu Chen who has such strength?"

The scene of Lu Chen severely injuring a Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon was witnessed by the immortals of the Celestial Realm Allied Forces, and it could not be hidden.

Just as Yunmeng Immortal Venerable was about to say something, Xinghe Immortal Venerable continued, "Palace Master Yunmeng, rest assured, I have come here today not to ask you for Lu Chen. Although I also want the opportunity he holds, now is not the time to discuss that."

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng was slightly taken aback. She thought that Immortal Venerable Xinghe was planning to use Lu Chen to threaten her, saying that if she did not share Lu Chen's opportunities, he would release the news of Lu Chen's presence in Xuan Yue Palace.

If Xinghe Immortal Venerable wasn't after this, then why did he personally make a trip to Xuan Yue Palace?
Immortal Venerable Yunmeng then asked, "What is the true purpose of the Star River Palace Master's visit here?"

Star River Immortal Venerable countered, "When the strange phenomenon occurred in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm last time, Palace Master Yunmeng should have sensed that strange power in the sky, right?"

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng said, "That's natural."

Immortal Venerable Xinghe asked, "What does Palace Master Yunmeng think of this power?"

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng said, "That should be the power to destroy the world, a sign of impending disaster."

Immortal Venerable Xinghe then said, "If I were to say that I sensed the aura of this power in a single person, what would Palace Master Yunmeng think?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng frowned immediately; she clearly knew some ancient history.

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng then asked, "Lord Xinghe Palace is not joking with me, is he?"

Star River Immortal Venerable said, "Does Palace Master Yunmeng think that I personally came to the Central Region just to joke with you?"

At this point, Immortal Venerable Xinghe continued, "Lu Chen may have the opportunity to become an emperor, but for me, it doesn't matter who becomes the Immortal Emperor now, as long as he can repair the Heavenly Dao and lead the Tianyan Immortal Domain to withstand the impending calamity."

Upon hearing Xinghe Immortal Venerable's words, Yunmeng Immortal Venerable felt that he was not lying, so she asked, "I wonder who Xinghe Palace Master sensed that strange aura from?"

The Star River Immortal replied, "I am an elder of my palace."

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng was stunned. Were the elders of Tianhua Palace all controlled by that strange power?
That's a Celestial Venerable level expert. If that strange power can control a Celestial Venerable level expert, then it means that the strange power may have already controlled many immortals in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, but they haven't discovered it yet.

Even a Celestial Venerable can be controlled, so how can an immortal weaker than a Celestial Venerable resist the erosion of that strange power?

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng instantly realized the seriousness of the problem. Only then did she truly understand why Immortal Venerable Xinghe had personally made this trip and said that it didn't matter who became the Immortal Emperor.

The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm is currently facing two major crises: one is the erosion of the Great Dao of cultivation, and the other is the invasion of this strange force in the shadows.

These two crises are likely not independent events; this may be the beginning of a calamity. Under such circumstances, even a fool would know that the strength of a single immortal sect is insufficient to withstand the impending disaster. Therefore, it is entirely correct for Immortal Venerable Xinghe to abandon the idea of ​​vying for opportunities at this time.

If people are still thinking about seizing opportunities at a time like this, then the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm will likely face only destruction.

After a moment of silence, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng asked, "When did Palace Master Xinghe realize that he possessed that strange power?"

The Star River Immortal replied, "After he returned from the Sunset Mountains."

Upon hearing the words "Sunset Mountains," Immortal Venerable Yunmeng's expression became even more serious. "Some terrifying beings are sealed within the perilous lands of the Sunset Mountains. It seems that the seal has loosened, and the strange power emanating from that Immortal Venerable likely originates from some perilous land."

At this point, neither of them spoke again, and both fell into a long silence. Although Xinghe Immortal Venerable did not know much about what was sealed in the Sunset Mountains, he knew that the forbidden area inside the Sunset Mountains was very dangerous.

The reason why the Wilderness has relatively little contact with other realms is because the Sunset Mountains contain many forbidden areas, which even immortal venerables dare not easily set foot in.

There was once a Celestial Venerable who didn't believe in superstitions and went to explore those forbidden lands, thinking that there might be some kind of opportunity there. As a result, after those Celestial Venerables entered those forbidden lands in the Sunset Mountains, they never came out again. Gradually, people didn't even dare to go to the Sunset Mountains anymore, which also made the Wilderness less and less connected with other realms.

After an unknown amount of time, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng finally spoke and asked, "Does that Immortal Venerable still retain consciousness?"

The Star River Immortal replied, "Yes, and he seems to care a lot about the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamp Scripture. He has repeatedly advised me to capture Lu Chen to prevent the opportunity on Lu Chen from falling into the hands of others. After learning that Lu Chen might be in the Xuan Yue Palace, he even wanted me to start a war against the Xuan Yue Palace. I suspect that the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamp Scripture has a restraining effect on the strange power on him."

"Or rather, there is something else about Lu Chen that frightens him."

"This is also why I personally came to Xuan Yue Palace."

Yunmeng Immortal Venerable asked, "What is it about Lu Chen that you want to find out?"

Star River Immortal Venerable said, "Yes."

After thinking for a moment, Yunmeng Immortal Venerable finally chose to believe Xinghe Immortal Venerable's words and said directly, "Lu Chen is not in Xuan Yue Palace."

Xinghe Immortal Venerable frowned slightly. He had already gone to such lengths, yet Yunmeng Immortal Venerable still did not trust him?
However, just when Xinghe Immortal Venerable thought Yunmeng Immortal Venerable was still thinking of hiding Lu Chen, Yunmeng Immortal Venerable spoke again and said, "I don't know where Lu Chen's main body is, but Lu Chen has an avatar in Xuan Yue Palace. I can have him come here. You can tell him about this. As for whether he will tell you about the opportunities he obtained in the Chaos Sea, that's his business."
