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

After receiving a definite answer from the Immortal Venerable of Ten Thousand Ruins, Lu Chen sighed deeply, realizing he had inexplicably gained another enemy.

He has countless enemies from his past lives, and the strange creatures are most likely related to him. Now, a Blood Ancestor has appeared.

Moreover, this Blood Ancestor doesn't seem to be sealed away; he could leave the Blood Eagle Palace at any time and come out to cause trouble for me.

However, if this Blood Ancestor really wanted to cause trouble for me, he should have left the Blood Eagle Palace immediately after finding out about me.

According to the memories of the Evil Shadow Immortal King, that Blood Ancestor was someone who could easily help the Blood Demon become an Immortal Venerable, and the entire Blood Eagle Palace cultivated using his blood.

That Blood Ancestor possesses at least the strength of an Immortal Venerable, and might even be an Immortal Emperor. Such a powerful being should be easy to find, and there's no need to send anyone to search for him. Lu Chen didn't quite understand this point.

Could it be...

Lu Chen suddenly had a guess: Could it be that the Blood Ancestor, who was so powerful, was still hiding in the small world of the Blood Eagle Palace because he was seriously injured and unable to leave on his own?

Or perhaps the Blood Ancestor, like that strange creature, is actually sealed away and can only move around in specific places?
Thinking this through, Lu Chen stopped overthinking. Since the Blood Ancestor hadn't come looking for him yet, it meant that the Blood Ancestor had some concerns, or that he simply couldn't come looking for him on his own initiative. In that case, there was nothing to worry about.

He didn't need to think too much. Anyway, he had countless enemies in his past lives, so one more wouldn't matter. He should focus on improving his cultivation.

……

at the same time.

Kyuten-in.

Above the Nine Heavens Academy, high in the clouds, Xuan Qingyun, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. He sensed that the immortal energy in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Domain was still increasing wildly, and Xuan Qingyun immediately guessed the reason.

Her gaze turned towards the direction of the Southern Region, and then she muttered to herself, "One person dies, all things live; it can be said that she died a worthy death."

Xuan Qingyun then transmitted his voice to the immortals of the Nine Heavens Academy, "Within three days, all immortals shall come to me."

Upon hearing Xuan Qingyun's telepathic message, all the Immortal Venerables in the entire Northern Region hurriedly headed towards the Nine Heavens Academy.

After learning that Xuan Qingyun had summoned all the Immortal Venerables of the Northern Region, the people of the Northern Region began to speculate whether Xuan Qingyun was preparing to settle scores with the forces of the Azure Dragon Palace.

After all the Immortal Venerables of the Northern Region gathered high above the Nine Heavens Academy, Xuan Qingyun glanced indifferently at the Immortal Venerables present, and then said to them, "A great being has fallen in the Southern Region, and the entrance to the small world where that great being lived has appeared in the chaotic zone. You can send people there to seek opportunities."

Upon hearing this, the immortals present looked at each other.

A powerful being has fallen?

Surely someone who could be addressed as a great power by a Celestial Emperor couldn't be a Celestial Venerable, right? Could it be that a Celestial Emperor has fallen?

However, the current fortune of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm is declining and it is simply unable to support the existence of multiple Immortal Emperors.

Upon realizing this, the immortals suddenly understood.

That's right. The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm's fortune has declined and can no longer support the existence of multiple Immortal Emperors. Meanwhile, their Demon Emperor has recovered his Immortal Emperor cultivation, and all the fortune has been gathered on the Demon Emperor. Therefore, the Immortal Emperors hiding in the shadows naturally cannot last long and thus perish.

If their conjecture is true, and the fallen one was indeed a Celestial Emperor, then there wouldn't be many opportunities in a Celestial Emperor's small world.

Upon thinking of this, the immortals present were all extremely excited, wishing they could immediately head to the chaotic area of ​​the Southern Region.

At this moment, a Celestial Venerable took the initiative to ask, "My lord, is that powerful being at the level of a Celestial Emperor?"

Xuan Qingyun said calmly, "It can also be considered as the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, but the person who fell was not an immortal."

Upon hearing Xuan Qingyun's answer, everyone present was stunned once again. Not an immortal? Are there powerful beings in this world besides the Immortal Emperor?

Could it be a strange creature?
Xuan Qingyun continued, "Alright, get ready and we can set off. There aren't many people who know about it yet."

Seeing that Xuan Qingyun didn't intend to say anything more, everyone bowed and said, "We will respectfully obey the decree of the Heavenly Maiden."

As soon as they finished speaking, the immortals immediately headed to the Southern Region.

……

With so many Immortal Venerables from the Northern Region heading to the Southern Region, it's impossible for other realms not to notice. Ever since Xuan Qingyun recovered his Immortal Emperor cultivation, the forces of other realms have been watching the Nine Heavens Academy's every move, fearing that the Demon Emperor would head south.

The fact that the Nine Heavens Academy has suddenly sent so many Immortal Venerables south, and so secretly at that, has made the forces of other realms worry whether the Demon Emperor has some new plans.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Immortal Venerable of the Nine Heavens Academy did not go to the Wilderness to settle scores with the Azure Dragon Palace and other former Northern Region forces, nor did he stay in the Central or Eastern Regions. Instead, he headed straight for the Southern Region, as if they had a clear objective.

Soon, various forces also began sending people to the Southern Region, wanting to see what exactly was attracting the people of the Nine Heavens Academy to the Southern Region.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

Beast Alliance.

In a pavilion atop a mountain, clouds and mist swirl around, and cranes occasionally fly by.

Lu Chen, dressed in a white brocade robe with gold trim, sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, quietly sipping his tea.

Ever since his body returned to the Beast Alliance with Immortal Venerable Xiyue, Immortal Venerable Xiyue has been avoiding him. For so many years, he has not seen Immortal Venerable Xiyue even once. So she left him on this mountain and provided him with good food and drink.

Although the treatment was good, his main purpose in coming to the Beast Alliance was to get close to Immortal Venerable Xiyue and cultivate a relationship with her. How could he cultivate a relationship if he could not meet her?

Just then, a refreshing fragrance entered Lu Chen's nostrils. Lu Chen put down his teacup, slightly raised his nostrils, sniffed the air, and then said with a smile, "The fragrance has arrived before she has. Immortal Venerable Xiyue's body is still so sweet."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Immortal Venerable Xi Yue appeared in the pavilion. Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Xi Yue immediately frowned slightly.

What he meant by saying her body still smelled so sweet made it sound like he had actually touched her.

This is an insult to her!
Immortal Venerable Xiyue suppressed her anger, for it was merely a mere avatar, not worth getting angry over.

Lu Chen then asked, "May I ask what brings Immortal Venerable Xiyue here today?"

"Could it be that traces of strange creatures have been discovered in the Eastern Region?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Immortal Venerable Xiyue chuckled and said, "I thought Fellow Daoist Lu was all-powerful and there was nothing you didn't know."

Immortal Venerable Xiyue then said directly, "Are you aware that in the past two years, the Nine Heavens Academy has been sending people to the Southern Region?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen stared at Immortal Venerable Xiyue with a puzzled expression. He had indeed not heard a word about this matter.

Nowadays, all the major forces are secretly sending people to keep an eye on the people of the Nine Heavens Academy. Even if they know about the Nine Heavens Academy's actions, in order not to alert them, no one is taking the initiative to spread the news.

Of course, they dared not spread the news about the Nine Heavens Academy, mainly because they were afraid of offending the Demon Emperor. Therefore, only the high-ranking members of those major powers knew about this matter.

Lu Chen then said, "I know nothing about this. I wonder what the Nine Heavens Academy is doing sending people to the Southern Region. Is it to reinforce the strange seal of the Sunset Mountains?" (End of this chapter)
