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

For a moment, the atmosphere high in the sky seemed somewhat oppressive.

Just then, Immortal Venerable Longteng spoke up, saying, "I have learned some information about the Blood Ancestor. After emerging from seclusion, the Blood Ancestor immediately summoned the leaders of various forces in the Southern Region."

"Originally, those forces in the Southern Region thought that the Blood Ancestor was going to settle scores with them and make an example of them, but in the end, the Blood Ancestor did not make a move, did not kill any Immortal Venerables, and did not take action. He only used his imperial might to intimidate them."

"Think about it, if a wicked immortal, or even an immortal emperor, were at the peak of his power, would he really tolerate those ants disobeying his orders?"

"Therefore, I think he is likely nearing the end of his life and dares not make a move. Once he does, it will expose that his strength is no longer as great as that of an Immortal Emperor."

After hearing what Immortal Venerable Longteng said, all the Immortal Venerables present fell into deep thought. They had all heard about Blood Ancestor summoning the leaders of various forces in the Southern Region, and indeed Blood Ancestor's actions seemed rather strange.

They only summoned the leaders of those forces, but didn't settle scores with them. Blood Ancestor was, after all, a Celestial Emperor; how could he be so easy to talk to?

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Longteng continued, "We should go all out and stop delaying."

The Azure Dragon Palace has now occupied a considerable amount of land in the Southern Region, and its fortune has been steadily rising as a result. This has allowed the immortals of the Azure Dragon Palace to taste the benefits, so the Azure Dragon Palace has always advocated a full-scale offensive.

Of course, it wasn't just the Azure Dragon Palace; many forces in the wilderness hoped to fully advance the plan. However, some wilderness forces worried that once a war at the Immortal Venerable level was launched, it would lead to the fall of the Immortal Venerables.

Some factions have relatively few Immortal Venerables, and some factions may even have only one Immortal Venerable. If an Immortal Venerable were to perish, their faction would quickly perish in this chaotic era.

A power like the Azure Dragon Palace, which has multiple Immortal Venerables, naturally doesn't care about starting an Immortal Venerable War. Even if one of their Immortal Venerables falls, it won't shake the Azure Dragon Palace's position.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Longteng looked at Lu Chen not far away and said, "Moreover, we have Lu Chen. If the Blood Ancestor is very strong, we can also use Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array to seal the Blood Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen listened quietly to what Immortal Venerable Longteng said without uttering a single word.

Just then, the Hidden Moon Sect Master spoke up: "What Immortal Venerable Longteng said makes some sense. In that case, let's start a war between Immortal Venerables."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader was also getting impatient. As the Hidden Moon Sect's influence expanded, its fortune also became very strong, which caused his own power to grow very rapidly.

He is now at the fourth level of the Immortal Venerable realm, and his cultivation has surpassed that of all other Immortal Venerables in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Domain. After experiencing the rapid increase in strength brought about by his cultivation, he is increasingly eager to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Now that Blood Ancestor has emerged from seclusion, he has not purged the Southern Region forces that defied Blood Eagle Palace. This suggests that Blood Ancestor is probably all bark and no bite. He now wants to know if he can obtain the method to become an emperor from Blood Ancestor if he eliminates him.

Upon hearing the words of the Hidden Moon Sect Leader, some were happy while others were worried, but Lu Chen remained expressionless. He simply watched the whole thing as if it had nothing to do with him.

Lu Chen also gained a lot from this war, and the fortune of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty was also rapidly improving, but the rapid expansion also brought many problems.

Most of the affiliated forces that joined the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty actually shared the same thoughts as the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect. They merely regarded the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty as a safe haven, rather than sincerely pledging allegiance to it.

After the war ends, these forces may collude with other forces in the wilderness and betray the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. However, none of this matters to Lu Chen. His desire to expand stems from his possession of the Heaven-Opening Seal, which allows him to absorb the fortune of everyone. To do so without being discovered by outsiders, he must continue to expand.

Even if these forces are not genuinely loyal to him, he can still absorb their fortune.

After making his decision, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader made some arrangements and then sent the Immortal Venerables back to the front lines of the battlefield.

After the Hidden Moon Sect Master allowed the Immortal Venerables to intervene, soon after, a Savage Immortal Venerable attacked the Immortal Sects of the Southern Region, thus igniting a full-scale war between the Savage Region and the Southern Region.

When the Immortal Venerable made his move, the intensity of the war rose to another level. Countless small forces in the Southern Region were wiped out overnight, and countless Immortal Dynasties were destroyed. When the Immortal Venerable made his move, the death toll was calculated in the hundreds of millions.

Whether they are immortals or mortals, even if the immortals do not deliberately target them, the aftershocks of battles between immortals may still affect them.

Seeing that the war had escalated to this point, some weaker forces in the Southern Region had no choice but to embark on a northward migration. In a short time, a large number of immortals fled north, wanting to leave the Southern Region and seek refuge in the Central Region.

However, it is obvious that the Blood Eagle Palace will not allow these people to leave the Southern Region. In order to prevent a repeat of the situation with the Heavenly Flower Palace, the Blood Eagle Palace has long since sent people to set up a defensive line in the northern Boundary Sea. No one in the Southern Region can leave the Southern Region.

As the battle between the Immortal Venerables continued to escalate, the Southern Region became riddled with holes, its fortunes declined, and a thick aura of death permeated the skies above it.

After the battle of the Immortal Venerables began, the entire Southern Region was shrouded in gloom almost every day, without even sunlight, gloomy and oppressive.

The lack of sunlight meant nothing to the immortals, but it was a disaster for mortals. Crops began to decline, a large-scale famine broke out in the mortal world, and countless mortals died, which further exacerbated the loss of fortune in the Southern Region.

To immortals, mortals are no different from ants. Furthermore, since some restrictions on immortals having offspring have been lifted, mortals are even more useless. Therefore, no matter how many mortals die, the immortals will not care.

However, just because those people don't care doesn't mean Lu Chen doesn't care. For Lu Chen, the more people there are, the more fortune he can absorb.

Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

In the main hall, Lu Chen sat on the throne in the main seat.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao spoke first, asking, "May I ask what Your Majesty wishes to discuss with us?"

Since the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect pledged allegiance to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, Lu Chen has always adopted a laissez-faire approach, basically not managing the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect much. If there is anything that requires the cooperation of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, he will simply send a telepathic message to the Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable.

This is the first time that all the elders of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect have been summoned like this.

Lu Chen said calmly, "The war between the Wilderness and the Southern Region has now fully broken out. The great battle between the Immortal Venerables has brought enormous disaster to the Southern Region, and countless people have died in this war."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone in the hall was taken aback, wondering why he brought this up. (End of Chapter)
