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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Xi Yue let out a snort of laughter, "How could the Demon Emperor be so kind? It's already good enough that she didn't actively release the strange creatures to wreak havoc on the world."

Lu Chen asked, "What are the people from the Nine Heavens Academy doing in the Southern Region?"

Xi Yue Immortal Venerable said, "According to the information we have gathered, the Nine Heavens Academy seems to have discovered the entrance to a small world where a powerful being once lived in the chaotic area of ​​the Southern Region. The Nine Heavens Academy is now sending people to that small world to look for opportunities."

Lu Chen asked, puzzled, "A powerful being?"

Xi Yue Immortal Venerable continued, "Some people speculate that the reason why immortal energy revived a few years ago was because an Immortal Emperor perished, and the immortal power in the Immortal Emperor's body returned to the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, which led to the so-called revival of immortal energy."

"And the entrance to that small world in the chaotic southern region is the place where the fallen Immortal Emperor lived before his death."

"The place where a Celestial Emperor lived must contain many opportunities. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Academy sent people to the chaotic area of ​​the Southern Region to obtain the opportunities left behind by that Celestial Emperor."

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Xiyue's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that Immortal Venerable Xiyue's guess made a lot of sense.

The immortal energy in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm doesn't arise out of nowhere; it's quite possible that the revival of immortal energy was caused by the fall of an Immortal Emperor.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Chen came to his senses and looked at Immortal Venerable Xiyue with a smile. "The Nine Heavens Academy discovered the entrance to the small world where the Immortal Emperor resides. What does that have to do with me? Why is Immortal Venerable Xiyue telling me this?"

Lu Chen had already guessed the purpose of Xi Yue Immortal Venerable's arrival. He knew very well that many forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain wanted his clone to go to them, not for the strange creature, but to use him as a trump card.

The Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array is not only capable of sealing strange creatures. After all, it is a Saint-level array, and as long as the power is sufficient, it can even seal Immortal Venerables.

The fact that Immortal Venerable Xiyue came to find me most likely means that she wants me to go south with the people of their Beast Alliance to compete for opportunities.

Seeing the smile on Lu Chen's face, Immortal Venerable Xiyue knew that Lu Chen must have guessed what she was thinking. The smile on Lu Chen's face made it seem as if he had her figured out, which made Immortal Venerable Xiyue very unhappy.

However, she finally forced herself to speak and said, "Aren't you interested in the opportunities offered by the Immortal Emperor?"

Lu Chen shrugged and said, "Even if you're interested, you'd have to be alive to snatch it."

"That's an opportunity that the Nine Heavens Academy has its eye on. Behind the Nine Heavens Academy is a Celestial Emperor. Do you really want to go against the Celestial Emperor?"

Xi Yue Immortal Venerable said, "We will naturally not oppose the Immortal Emperor, but the Immortal Emperor left behind so many opportunities that the Nine Heavens Academy may not be able to find all the treasures he left behind."

"Moreover, the small world where the Immortal Emperor lives must be full of restrictions and traps, and the Nine Heavens Academy also needs someone to explore the way for them."

"You think this news was leaked because our people found out? It's obvious that the Nine Heavens Academy deliberately released the information to attract other forces to send people to scout ahead for them."

Although people from all the forces in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm were watching the Nine Heavens Academy's every move, the most information they could gather was that someone from the Nine Heavens Academy had gone south.

The news of the Immortal Emperor's fall was obviously spread by the Nine Heavens Academy. Otherwise, other forces would not have known that an Immortal Emperor had fallen, much less that the chaotic Southern Region contained an entrance to a small world.

After hearing what Immortal Venerable Xiyue said, Lu Chen thought about it and felt that Immortal Venerable Xiyue's guess was not unreasonable.

However, even if the Nine Heavens Academy were willing to allow people from other forces to enter the "Immortal Emperor's" small world, he wouldn't actually be very interested in the opportunities offered by the Immortal Emperor.

After all, he possesses a system that allows him to acquire Saint-level immortal techniques and artifacts, so there's no need for him to waste time exploring the small world left behind by the Immortal Emperor. As Immortal Venerable Xiyue also mentioned, the small world left by the Immortal Emperor is riddled with restrictions and traps. Although his clone isn't worried about encountering any accidents—if the clone dies, so be it—entering it will definitely be very troublesome.

Lu Chen then said, "You know that the Nine Heavens Academy released the news to let people from other forces go in and scout ahead for them. If there are really any good things, the people from the Nine Heavens Academy will just snatch them up, and you won't get any. So don't waste your time."

Seeing that Lu Chen had no interest in the Immortal Emperor's small world, Immortal Venerable Xiyue's expression became slightly serious. "I have a premonition that there is an opportunity for me in that small world."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen stared at Immortal Venerable Xiyue's beautiful face, seemingly trying to judge from her expression whether she was joking with him.

Immortal Venerables can indeed foresee some things. Even Immortal Venerables who cannot deduce the secrets of heaven may be able to foresee some future events, such as an impending crisis.

Therefore, the intuition of the immortals is extremely important.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Since you have a premonition that you have an opportunity, why don't you just take the people from the Beast Alliance with you? Why are you telling me all this?"

"Could it be that you're worried the Beast Alliance will become unstable after you leave, so you want me to keep an eye on it for you?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Xiyue frowned even more. This bastard clearly knew why he came today, yet he pretended to know nothing.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue simply said, "I want you to explore the small world left behind by the Immortal Emperor with me."

Lu Chen immediately said, "I'm not going."

Seeing that Lu Chen rejected her without even thinking, Immortal Venerable Xiyue snorted and said, "This is just a puppet body for you. Are you afraid of dying?"

Lu Chen said, "I just don't want to waste my energy and time doing those meaningless things."

"I have no interest in the opportunities of the Immortal Emperor. Besides, with people from the Nine Heavens Academy around, even if I obtain any opportunities, they will most likely be snatched away by them, and I'll have made a wasted trip."

"Since there's no benefit to it, why should I explore that little world?"

Immortal Venerable Xiyue immediately understood Lu Chen's implied meaning: this scoundrel was trying to get her to give him benefits.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue asked directly, "Just tell me what you want."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, gazing at Immortal Venerable Xiyue's beautiful face, "Immortal Venerable Xiyue should know very well what I want."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the immortal power within Immortal Venerable Xi Yue surged violently, releasing an aura of immortal power from her body.

In just a moment, Immortal Venerable Xiyue withdrew her oppressive aura and, trying to control her emotions, said, "You should also know that that condition is impossible. Let's find another one."

Lu Chen is at most an aid, and she may not even be able to obtain the opportunity she foresaw on this trip to the Southern Region. How could she possibly offer her body just to ask Lu Chen for a favor?

She is, after all, a Celestial Venerable; she shouldn't be so cheap. (End of Chapter)
