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

What Lu Chen couldn't understand the most was when Xu Jingshu had acquired this strange power, and why he hadn't noticed it at all.

The strange power emanating from Xu Jingshu seemed to have appeared on her suddenly.

At this moment, Xu Jingshu, who was suspended in the air, had half of her body turned into bones under the erosion of the strange power. Her eyes were empty, and she looked like a corpse about to rot, which was very terrifying.

Lu Chen frowned, unsure of what to do next. Xu Jingshu was, after all, his woman, and she had given birth to his child. Did he have to seal her away?
If Xu Jingshu is not sealed away, the strange power emanating from her will eventually affect others, unless Xu Jingshu can freely control this power.

Just as Lu Chen hesitated about what to do, Xu Jingshu's previously empty eyes regained their light. The next moment, the strange power emanating from her body surged back like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the strange power she emitted dissipated completely, leaving not a trace.

When Xu Jingshu woke up, she found herself floating in the air and had already broken through to the Immortal King realm, which surprised her.

"How...did I break through?"

Seeing that Xu Jingshu seemed completely unaware of what had just happened, Lu Chen fell into deep thought again. It seemed that Xu Jingshu was unaware that she possessed a strange power within her.

I don't know it myself, and others can't detect it either. What exactly is this strange power?

Lu Chen had a bold guess: could it be that many people in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm possess strange powers within them, but these powers are sealed by some kind of restriction, so they themselves are unaware that they are strange beings?

However, as the strange creatures sealed in the Sunset Mountains escaped, the eerie power emanating from them resonated with the eerie power within the people of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, which led to the exposure of those strange creatures hidden among the crowd.

If that's the case, then the strange creatures will probably become increasingly difficult to deal with.

Someone like Xu Jingshu is completely invisible in a crowd and has no connection to the strange creatures. Even she herself doesn't know that she possesses strange powers, so how could others possibly discover her true identity?

However, it seems that Xu Jingshu is on the side of Tianyan Immortal Realm. But the question is, as Xu Jingshu is eroded by the strange power in her body, will her mind also become like that of a strange creature?

This is what Lu Chen is most worried about. If Xu Jingshu completely turns into a strange creature, then he will have no choice but to seal her away.

Seeing that Lu Chen was staring at her without saying a word, and his expression was extremely serious, it was clear that something had just happened that she didn't know about. Xu Jingshu immediately asked, "What just happened?"

Lu Chen snapped out of his reverie and said calmly, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about how to control the power within Lingling."

Xu Jingshu slowly descended from the sky, her gaze falling on Lu Siling once more. She felt no joy at her breakthrough; even after becoming a Celestial King, she was still helpless against the strange power.

Xu Jingshu felt extremely distressed. Was she just supposed to watch her daughter be corrupted by the strange power and eventually become a bizarre creature that only knew how to devour life force?
Lu Chen glanced at Xu Jingshu out of the corner of his eye and saw that Xu Jingshu was looking at Lu Siling with anxiety. Lu Chen thought to himself, it seems that she really doesn't know what just happened, otherwise her attention would not have been on her daughter.

Lu Chen tentatively said, "You just broke through, so take some time to adjust. I'll keep an eye on things."

At this point, Lu Chen took the initiative to reach out and hold Xu Jingshu's hand, then channeled his life force into her, showing a concerned expression.

While infusing Xu Jingshu with life force, Lu Chen was also using his immortal power to carefully examine Xu Jingshu's body, trying to find the source of the strange power within her. However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find even the slightest trace of the strange power.

The strange power that Xu Jingshu was emanating just now was so strong, but now it has completely disappeared. This seems too eerie.

Xu Jingshu said absentmindedly, "It's okay, we'll talk about it when Lingling wakes up." Xu Jingshu didn't know that Lu Chen was examining her body; she only felt that Lu Chen was stabilizing the immortal power within her body.

Despite Lu Chen's repeated checks, he was unable to detect any strange power and eventually had to give up.

However, he had already figured it out. Since there was no strange power in Xu Jingshu's body, the source of the strange power could only be her soul.

It's impossible for a non-existent power to appear out of thin air in Xu Jingshu's body. However, even knowing that the strange power might be in Xu Jingshu's soul, Lu Chen didn't dare to investigate it directly.

If he directly told Xu Jingshu that he wanted to examine her soul, she would definitely notice the abnormality. He was not sure why this strange power appeared in Xu Jingshu's soul, and he was also not sure if his rash examination of Xu Jingshu's soul would cause the strange power in her soul to suddenly become agitated.

For a moment, the room became extremely quiet, and both of their gazes were fixed on Lu Siling, who was floating in the air and releasing strange power.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Siling slowly opened her eyes. When she found herself floating in the air and constantly releasing strange power, she was startled.

"ah!"

After regaining her senses, Lu Siling glanced around the room and saw that her parents were watching her. A look of panic appeared on her little face.

"Father, Mother, I didn't mean it!"

As she spoke, Lu Siling immediately withdrew the strange power.

Seeing that Lu Siling could control the strange power at will, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she could actively control the strange power. What he feared most was that Lu Siling would be completely corrupted by the strange power.

Lu Chen said, "It's good that you're alright."

After Lu Siling withdrew her strange power, she immediately landed. Lu Chen reached out and caught her, letting her fall into his arms.

Lu Chen comforted him, saying, "Can you tell your father what happened earlier?"

Lu Chen had already guessed that the strange creatures from the Sunset Mountains had been released, which caused the strange power within Lu Siling's body to resonate, but he still needed to confirm it further.

Lu Siling thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know what happened either. I suddenly felt very sleepy, and then a door appeared in front of me. I heard my mother's voice coming from behind the door, so I went inside out of curiosity."

"I don't remember anything after that."

Hearing this, Xu Jingshu was taken aback. "You heard my voice?"

Lu Chen glanced meaningfully at Xu Jingshu out of the corner of his eye.

It seems he needs to leave a clone by their side so he can know immediately if anything happens.

The strange power within Xu Jingshu's body might erupt again; he must be constantly vigilant. (End of Chapter)
