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

The Celestial Realm has once again witnessed a revival of immortal energy.

Sensing that the concentration of immortal energy in the air was no less than that of some high-grade immortal crystal mines, Lu Chen stopped what he was doing and said to Yun Yudie beneath him, "The immortal energy has increased again. I wonder which unlucky fellow has perished this time."

At this moment, Yun Yudie did not respond to Lu Chen's words. Her eyes were closed, as if she was comprehending the Great Dao of Cultivation.

Lu Chen looked down at her, and a radiant color appeared on her snow-white face. Her Daoist aura flowed continuously, as if she had entered a state of enlightenment.

Seeing that Yun Yudie seemed to have gained some insight, Lu Chen did not do anything malicious. The next moment, a powerful aura was released from Yun Yudie's body.

This……

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he felt the increased pressure emanating from Yun Yudie.

Judging from the aura emanating from Yun Yudie, it's clear that her cultivation level has definitely improved. However, if a Celestial Venerable's cultivation level were to improve further, she would become a Celestial Emperor.

However, the pressure emanating from Yun Yudie was clearly not at the level of an Immortal Emperor. If she were an Immortal Emperor, the pressure she released would be even stronger, and her aura would be even more terrifying.

Lu Chen was somewhat confused about Yun Yudie's current situation. Wasn't the Immortal Emperor the one above the Immortal Venerable?

How come Yun Yudie's cultivation level improved even though she didn't break through to the Immortal Emperor realm?

Lu Chen waited quietly for Yun Yudie to open her eyes. At this moment, probably only Yun Yudie herself knew what her situation was.

After a while, Yun Yudie finally stabilized her cultivation. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen spoke first, asking, "What's the deal with your cultivation level?"

"I have a feeling that you've broken through, but your aura doesn't seem to have reached the Immortal Emperor level?"

Yun Yudie replied, "I feel that my cultivation has indeed broken through, but I am not an Immortal Emperor. I am still at the Immortal Venerable realm, but only at the first level of Immortal Venerable."

First level of Immortal Venerable?

Lu Chen was filled with questions.

Above the Immortal Venerable realm is the Immortal Emperor. Previously, there was no distinction in cultivation level within the Immortal Venerable realm. Although some Immortal Venerables were strong and some were weak, it was all due to the different Great Daos cultivated by the immortals. The cultivation level of all Immortal Venerables was the same.

How come there's a Celestial Venerable Realm Level 1 now?

Seeing the puzzled look on Lu Chen's face, Yun Yudie continued, "It seems that a restriction in the world was lifted just now. Now there is a division of cultivation between Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor, about ten levels."

Upon hearing Yun Yudie's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He wondered if it was because the third revival of immortal energy had led to a surge in immortal energy in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm that the Heavenly Dao had lifted some of the restrictions that had previously reduced the consumption of immortal energy.

If that's the case, then the Immortal Emperor might not necessarily have an absolute crushing advantage over the Immortal Venerable in the future.

If a Celestial Venerable breaks through to the tenth level of Celestial Venerable, then his strength will definitely be infinitely close to that of a Celestial Emperor.

However, there is still a crucial issue.

The advancement of one's realm is often accompanied by an increase in lifespan. Now that there are suddenly ten minor realms between the Immortal Venerable and the Immortal Emperor, will the lifespan of an Immortal Venerable increase each time they break through a minor realm?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately asked, "Has your lifespan increased?"

Yun Yudie sensed the life force within her body and then said, "It has increased."

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. If even lifespan had increased, it would be incredibly good news for those immortals whose lifespans were nearing their end.

The Great Dao of Life is now being eroded by a strange force, and many Immortal Venerables are nearing the end of their lifespans. In recent years, more and more Immortal Venerables have sealed themselves away because their lifespans are approaching, and the number of those who have perished is increasing. If this continues, the number of Immortal Venerables in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm may drop to double digits. However, now that a minor realm has been added between Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors, and each breakthrough can extend lifespan, those Immortal Venerables whose lifespans are approaching can prolong their lives if they can break through.

At this moment, another question arose in Lu Chen's mind: since there are minor realms between Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor, are there minor realms between other cultivation levels as well?

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, Yun Yudie spoke up: "If the Heavenly Dao loosens its restrictions, the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm will probably become more and more chaotic in the future."

Previously, all factions were unwilling to start a war because the Great Tribulation had not passed, and that strange power was eroding the Great Dao of Life. People were worried that being injured would lead to their premature death.

Especially those immortal venerables, many of whom have lived for billions of years, and most of them will soon reach their end.

In order to live longer, those Immortal Venerables would avoid taking action if possible. However, now that there are so many minor realms between Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors, and lifespan is broken with each realm advancement, those Immortal Venerables will definitely break through to the first level of Immortal Venerable at all costs.

To quickly become a Celestial Venerable of the First Heaven, gathering fortune is the best approach; the higher the realm, the more important fortune becomes.

If you want to increase your luck, you can't avoid expanding your power, and expanding your power will inevitably lead to war.

The future situation in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm can be roughly predicted to be extremely chaotic.

Hearing Yun Yudie's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. With me by your side to protect you, even if the Tianyan Immortal Realm is in chaos, you will be fine."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie glanced at him expressionlessly, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of speechlessness.

Although she knew that Lu Chen's origins were mysterious and that he might be the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, given Lu Chen's current strength, it was still unlikely that he could protect the Xuan Yue Palace from being completely affected.

The situation is likely to develop in a direction they did not anticipate.

Lu Chen continued, "Actually, you don't need to be too pessimistic."

"The Northern Region has the Demon Emperor, the Eastern Region has the Immortal Emperor Xiyue, and the Wilderness has the Hidden Moon Cult Master. With these people around, it's difficult for a large-scale melee at the Immortal Realm level to occur."

The Celestial Emperors certainly wouldn't personally take action against each other. As long as the Celestial Emperors don't get involved, things won't get too chaotic.

Yun Yudie remained silent, lying on the soft couch, gazing at Lu Chen's handsome face.

Seeing the ice beauty staring at him like that, Lu Chen's heart burned with desire again. He twisted his body slightly and then gave Yun Yudie a smug smile.

Yun Yudie glared at Lu Chen, but still didn't say anything. Their eyes communicated silently.

Lu Chen leaned down again, his nose touching Yun Yudie's, and their eyes were only for each other.

Yun Yudie suddenly asked, "How many women do you have now?"

Lu Chen retorted, "Are you jealous?"

Yun Yudie coldly said, "I have no feelings for you, don't flatter yourself."

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. "Really not?"

Yun Yudie said coldly, "No."

She found it hard to imagine that she would fall in love with this sleazy guy, Lu Chen. She firmly believed that her dual cultivation with Lu Chen was for the purpose of improving her cultivation level.

Lu Chen continued, "Then why did you ask me how many women I have?"

Yun Yudie replied casually, "Just asking." (End of Chapter)
