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

Lu Chen suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Yunmeng Palace, and said with a solemn expression, "This is..."

For some reason, Lu Chen sensed a strange aura from those immortal powers. If it were just strange power, he wouldn't be so nervous, since he had long suspected that some strange creature in the Sunset Mountains had broken the seal and infiltrated the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

It's not surprising that strange creatures lurk within a dominant force like Xuan Yue Palace.

What truly worried Lu Chen was that he not only sensed the aura of the strange creature, but also the aura of someone with the same bloodline.

What does this mean?
This indicates that it was his child who released this divine power.

The commotion came from Yunmeng Palace, clearly indicating that Xu Jingshu's child had been born.

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, the system's cold voice rang in his mind, "Congratulations to the host for having a new offspring. Reward: True Dragon Stone."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Chen snapped out of his daze. It was indeed true that a child had been born. Without any hesitation, Lu Chen's figure vanished instantly, heading straight for Yunmeng Palace.

He didn't even look at the reward. The child was born, so naturally he wanted to see his child first. As for the reward, he could see it later.

He now has a very bad feeling. When the child was born, the immortal power it emitted carried a strange aura. He suspects that his child may have been affected by strange power, or perhaps transformed into a strange creature by strange power.

If that's the case, then it's troublesome; he doesn't want to lay a hand on his own child.

Seeing that Lu Chen left his palace without saying a word, Celestial Venerable Tianyu frowned slightly, but she guessed why Lu Chen would leave.

She thought it was better to leave, otherwise she would inevitably be toyed with by this guy again.

Yunmeng Palace.

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng was in the small world where Xu Jingshu lived. At this moment, Xu Jingshu was lying on the bed, and a baby girl emitting purple fairy energy was floating in front of her.

Sensing the celestial aura emanating from the baby girl, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng felt somewhat dazed, as if some memories within his soul were about to be dredged up.

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng shook his head and said to Xu Jingshu, "Jingshu, you should get some rest."

At this moment, Xu Jingshu looked at Immortal Venerable Yunmeng and asked, "Palace Master, is Lu Chen still in Xuan Yue Palace?"

The child in her womb was, after all, Lu Chen's. Now that the child was born, she hoped that Lu Chen could see the baby as soon as possible. Moreover, she hadn't seen Lu Chen for a long time and missed him terribly.

Upon hearing this question, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng was about to say something when an Immortal King entered the room and said to Immortal Venerable Yunmeng, "Palace Master, Lu Chen wishes to come in."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingshu immediately became excited, but she quickly calmed down and looked at Immortal Venerable Yunmeng. She knew that if she wanted to see Lu Chen, she had to get Immortal Venerable Yunmeng's permission. If Immortal Venerable Yunmeng did not agree, Lu Chen could not enter.

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng glanced at Xu Jingshu on the bed, then said expressionlessly, "Let him in."

Now that Lu Chen is of great use to Xuan Yue Palace, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng no longer intends to prevent Lu Chen from meeting Xu Jingshu. Moreover, their ancestor is no longer planning to use the method of possession. Neither Xu Jingshu nor Lu Chen's child is of much use to Xuan Yue Palace.

Their greatest role now is probably to be Lu Chen's weakness. Xuan Yue Palace can use the mother and daughter to threaten Lu Chen and make him work for Xuan Yue Palace.

If they want Lu Chen to work for Xuan Yue Palace out of consideration for the mother and daughter, they need to let them meet more often and cultivate their relationship.

Only with a strong bond within their family could Xuan Yue Palace better utilize Lu Chen. Soon, Lu Chen entered the small world and arrived at Xu Jing Shu's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Chen's gaze was drawn to the baby girl floating in the air. Seeing the purple fairy aura emanating from the baby girl, Lu Chen's expression became even more solemn.

His senses were not wrong; there was indeed a trace of strange power within her daughter.

However, what puzzled him was that his daughter did not seem to be a strange creature, because she exuded a strong fairy aura, and that trace of strange power did not dominate her.

When Xu Jingshu saw Lu Chen arrive, a smile appeared on her face, but she quickly suppressed it. The thought of how this guy had kidnapped her, gotten her pregnant, and brought her to Xuan Yue Palace, and how she hadn't been able to see him for so long, filled her with resentment.

Immortal Venerable Yunmeng glanced at Lu Chen and said to the others in the room, "Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Venerable Yunmeng led the other women in the room away from the small world.

After they all left, Lu Chen came to the bedside. He sat down on the bed and said to Xu Jingshu with a smile, "You've worked hard."

Xu Jingshu said indifferently, "Now that I have given birth to your child, shouldn't you give me my freedom?"

When she was kidnapped by Lu Chen, she handed over her soul source to him. With just a thought from Lu Chen, she would die instantly.

In the past, Lu Chen would tell her from time to time that if she could give him a child, he would return his soul source to her.

Now that the child has been born, Lu Chen should fulfill his promise.

Hearing Xu Jingshu's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Have I ever restricted your freedom?"

"It is the Xuan Yue Palace that is restricting your freedom, it has nothing to do with me."

Xu Jingshu stared at Lu Chen with her blood-red pupils and said, "You know that's not what I meant."

Xuan Yue Palace did restrict her freedom and prevent her from leaving Yunmeng Peak, but this restriction was nothing. What truly controls a person is the Soul Source.

Lu Chen stopped teasing Xu Jingshu. The child had already been born, and he had no intention of continuing to control Xu Jingshu. Xu Jingshu's favorability towards him had long since reached 100%.

As a woman born with a seductive nature and who also practiced evil arts, Xu Jingshu had long since fallen into depravity during her countless dual cultivation sessions with him.

Lu Chen then stretched out his hand, and a ball of red soul energy flew directly from his palm to Xu Jingshu's forehead. After Xu Jingshu completely absorbed the soul energy, she looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression.

When she was kidnapped by Lu Chen, she was very unwilling to cultivate with him. However, since she was an evil immortal, as the number of times they cultivated together increased, she became more and more depraved and eventually became more and more dependent on Lu Chen. Even if Lu Chen did not cultivate with her, she would still want to take the initiative to cultivate with him.

She used to be able to say that she was forced by Lu Chen, using that as an excuse. Now that Lu Chen has returned the Soul Source to her, she can no longer make excuses to say that she was forced by Lu Chen.

Thinking about this, she suddenly regretted returning to Soul Source so soon.

While Xu Jingshu was lost in thought, Lu Chen raised his hand and enveloped the baby girl floating in the air with his life force, causing the baby to slowly fly to his front. (End of this chapter)
