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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, all the Immortal Venerables present were stunned. Although 10 billion Immortal Crystals was a lot, it was worth the price compared to fighting against an Immortal Emperor.

However, five high-grade immortal crystal veins come at a high price, as the amount of immortal crystals mined from them far exceeds 10 billion.

At this moment, all the immortals looked at Taihua Immortal Venerable. Taihua Immortal Venerable only frowned slightly, and then said, "Alright, as long as you help us seal that immortal emperor of the Blood Eagle Palace, our Tianhua Palace will give you 10 billion immortal crystals and five high-grade immortal crystal mines."

Lu Chen said, "In that case, let's sign the Heavenly Dao Contract!"

For something like this, a verbal agreement is definitely not enough. Who knows if Tianhua Palace will go back on its word after sealing the Blood Ancestor?

Therefore, establishing a Heavenly Contract is very necessary.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Taihua was about to say something when Lu Chen interrupted him, saying, "Palace Master Taihua wouldn't be thinking of reneging on his debt later, would he?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "How could that be? Our Tianhua Palace is the overlord of the Southern Region, with a long history. We wouldn't go back on our word."

"Since you don't trust us, young friend Lu, let's establish a Heavenly Dao Contract."

Lu Chen gathered his immortal power at his fingertips and wrote a contract in the air. He then said to the Heavenly Dao, "I ask the Heavenly Dao to witness that we are signing this contract again. If we violate the contract, both parties will suffer the consequences."

Upon seeing the contract in the air, Immortal Venerable Taihua did not hesitate. He bit his finger, wrapped his blood in immortal power, and signed his name at the bottom of the contract.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Taihua asked, "I wonder if young friend Lu can rest assured now?"

Lu Chen glanced at the immortals behind Taihua Immortal Venerable and said, "Please sign your names as well."

If only Immortal Venerable Taihua signs this contract, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced if Immortal Venerable Taihua is no longer the Palace Master of Tianhua Palace. What if Tianhua Palace then shifts all the responsibility onto Immortal Venerable Taihua and defaults on the debt?

If all the immortals present signed the contract, they would be bound together, and it would no longer be possible for them to shift all responsibility onto Immortal Venerable Taihua and renege on their debts.

The immortals of Tianhua Palace looked at each other, and finally chose to sign the contract.

As the immortals of Tianhua Palace signed their names, the words condensed with immortal power in the air gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated.

At this moment, everyone felt a strange power enveloping their souls, which meant that the Heavenly Dao Contract had officially taken effect.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao Contract had taken effect, Lu Chen asked, "I wonder how you all plan to proceed next?"

Although the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array may be able to seal the Blood Ancestor, it also carries great risks. If the Immortal Venerables on the Tianhua Palace's side are not strong enough, even if they activate the Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array, they may not be able to suppress the Blood Ancestor.

Most importantly, they may not be able to get close to the Blood Ancestor. Nowadays, all forces in the Southern Region know that the Blood Eagle Palace has an Immortal Emperor, and most forces will choose to submit to the Blood Eagle Palace and become its subordinate forces.

If Tianhua Palace were to rebel against Blood Eagle Palace, the affiliated forces of Blood Eagle Palace would inevitably besiege Tianhua Palace, making it extremely difficult for the Celestial Venerables of Tianhua Palace to approach Blood Ancestor.

If we can't see the Blood Ancestor of the Blood Eagle Palace, then sealing the Blood Ancestor is just empty talk.

Immortal Venerable Taihua then said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with us back to Tianhua Palace, young friend Lu."

Lu Chen said, "Okay."

Afterwards, the immortals of Tianhua Palace led Lu Chen back to Tianhua Palace.

As Lu Chen had predicted, upon hearing the Blood Ancestor's message, the various forces in the Southern Region immediately announced their willingness to become affiliated forces of the Blood Eagle Palace.

In a short time, nearly 90% of the forces in the Southern Region chose to submit to the Blood Eagle Palace, leaving only the Heavenly Flower Palace and a few other forces. All sides were watching the drama unfold, eager to know what choice the Heavenly Flower Palace would ultimately make: would it become a vassal of the Blood Eagle Palace, or would it fight the Blood Eagle Palace to the bitter end?

Most factions would actually prefer to see Tianhua Palace and Blood Eagle Palace fight to the death. In that case, Tianhua Palace would be completely destroyed by Blood Eagle Palace, and people would be able to see what kind of strength the Immortal Emperor really possessed.

Although people know that the Celestial Emperor is very strong, most immortals have never seen the Celestial Emperor make a move, so they have no idea just how strong he is.

The immortal venerables were eager to know just how much their strength differed from that of the immortal emperor.

To find out the strength of the Celestial Emperor, one can only wait for him to take action.

……

Wilderness, Hidden Moon Cult.

High above the Hidden Moon Sect, leaders of various forces from the wilderness gathered together, discussing why the Hidden Moon Sect had summoned them.

Just as people were discussing this, a black vortex appeared high in the sky, and the Hidden Moon Cult Leader slowly walked out of the black vortex.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Hidden Moon Cult Leader, everyone present fell silent.

At this moment, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader glanced at everyone and said directly, "Now that the Wilderness is pacified, I intend to expand into the Southern Region and bring it under the rule of the Hidden Moon Sect!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Expanding towards the southern region?
Doesn't that mean war is about to break out?

Launching a major war at this time would benefit no one. The Great Tribulation still exists, and that strange power is increasingly eroding the Great Dao.

If they were injured at such a time, their time would likely come sooner, so no one wanted to see war break out.

Especially in a war between two regions, once such a massive war begins, countless people will die, and it's not something that can be stopped at will.

At this moment, the sky above the Hidden Moon Sect was deathly silent, without a sound, and the air felt extremely heavy and oppressive.

Although no force was willing to participate in this war, it was proposed by the Hidden Moon Cult Leader, so no one dared to openly oppose it.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader has taken control of a divine corpse with strength approaching that of an Immortal Emperor. If they do not obey the Hidden Moon Sect's orders, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader will likely eliminate them immediately.

Now all they can do is think about how to minimize their injuries in this war.

Just when people thought the war was inevitable, Lu Chen spoke up and said, "Hidden Moon Sect Leader, now is probably not the best time to attack the Southern Region."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, almost everyone present turned their gaze toward Lu Chen's location.

People all looked on incredulously.

Lu Chen actually dared to stand up and openly oppose the Hidden Moon Cult Leader!

Wasn't he afraid that the Hidden Moon Sect Leader would attack the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's face darkened instantly. He hadn't expected anyone to dare to contradict him at this time.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader then asked coldly, "Oh? Then tell me why now is not the best time to attack the Southern Region?"

Lu Chen stated directly, "Because a wicked immortal emperor was recently born in the Southern Region." (End of Chapter)
