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

Chu Yuqin then said, "Since we have an alliance with Lu Chen, we can only stand on his side for now, and we'll talk about everything after we leave this world."

"Whether you choose to cultivate with him or not is your own business."

"Lu Chen has many ancestors around him now. Even if you don't cultivate with him, he won't say anything. He doesn't need you."

"He couldn't even handle those bizarre progenitors in the borderlands."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Chu Yunzhi's face darkened.

She doesn't practice dual cultivation with Lu Chen mainly because she feels that being ridden by a human is a shameful and disgraceful thing.

But she also knew in her heart that the life force within Lu Chen's body was a rare and delicious treat for them.

Moreover, she still needs Lu Chen to become stronger. If she doesn't cultivate with Lu Chen, he definitely won't take the initiative to provide her with a chance to survive.

At their level, everything is based on mutual benefit. As the strongest in the Spirit Realm, Lu Chen wouldn't help them for no reason. Besides, their Ghost Realm destroyed the Spirit Realm. It's already good enough that Lu Chen isn't hostile towards them. If they want to get benefits from Lu Chen, they have to give something in return.

The thought that these powerful figures of the Ghost Realm would sell their bodies for survival filled Chu Yunzhi with humiliation.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin thought of something and continued, "The Great Dao that Lu Chen cultivates seems to be related to us ancestors. When he cultivates with us, it can accelerate the recovery of his strength."

"The Netherworld Evil Emperor has already made his move; his minions are searching everywhere for our memories." "We also need to hurry up and help Lu Chen improve his strength. If the Netherworld Evil Emperor suddenly descends upon this world, without Lu Chen's help, we may not be his match."

Chu Yunzhi asked with a suspicious look, "Is Lu Chen's cultivation path related to the strange progenitor?"

"How could the path he cultivated as a human possibly be related to our bizarre progenitor?"

Chu Yuqin said, "I don't know either, that's what Lu Chen said."

"However, Lu Chen always became stronger after cultivating with us, so he probably wasn't lying."

"There is another thing I cannot explain: in this world, we ancestors can also have offspring after mating with Lu Chen."

Chu Yunzhi fell silent. She had also given birth to Lu Chen's child while she was in the burial furnace.

After leaving the Burial Furnace, she pondered why she and Lu Chen had conceived a child, but she couldn't come up with a specific reason. She could only attribute it to the different laws within the Burial Furnace.

Chu Yuqin then said, "Now that you have regained your memories, you should go back and consolidate your cultivation. Also, be careful of the Heavenly Dao of this world."

"The Heavenly Dao of this world has been constantly drawing away the strange power within us. The reason why our cultivation level is difficult to recover is because most of our strange power has been drawn away by this world. This is also why I want to cultivate with Lu Chen."

"The Heavenly Dao is drawing upon our power; if we don't replenish it from other sources, it will be difficult for us to advance our cultivation level."

Chu Yunzhi examined her body and found that, just as Chu Yuqin had said, the strange power that had just been born within her would soon disappear by more than half. That portion of the strange power dissipated into the air and was quickly assimilated into the evil energy. If strange power hadn't been continuously being generated within them, they would probably have already been assimilated by this world.

This is somewhat similar to the refining methods of the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

Thinking about it this way, this world is indeed related to the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

After regaining her senses, Chu Yunzhi said, "Alright, I'll go back and consolidate my cultivation level."

Having said that, Chu Yunzhi prepared to leave.

When she walked up to Li Qingrou, she glanced at Li Qingrou, then turned to Chu Yuqin and said, "Since Qingrou's memory bead is in your hands, you should help her recover her memories as soon as possible. Only by recovering our memories can we control the strange power and reduce the strange power in our bodies being absorbed by this Heavenly Dao."

Chu Yuqin said, "I know. I'll ask Lu Chen later. If he agrees, I'll help Qingrou regain her memories."

As soon as Chu Yuqin finished speaking, Chu Yunzhi turned and left.

At this moment, Li Qingrou and Dongfang Longyue looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Qingrou looked at Chu Yuqin and asked, "You and Yunzhi aren't human, but monsters?"

Chu Yuqin replied, "Not only the two of us, but you and Longyue are also strange beings, and even the progenitors of strange beings."

Both women were startled, a look of bewilderment on their faces. Were they supernatural beings, or even the progenitors of supernatural beings?

How is that possible?

Chu Yuqin didn't offer any further explanation. She turned and walked out of the cave, saying as she went, "I'm going to find Lu Chen first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yuqin transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Lu Chen's residence.

As soon as Chu Yuqin arrived at Lu Chen's residence, she felt a terrifying pressure emanating from Lu Chen's room.

Chu Yuqin's heart trembled slightly. Had Lu Chen broken through?

Lu Chen had just completed dual cultivation with Chu Yunzhi yesterday, and he broke through again today.

As expected, Lu Chen's cultivation path was related to their strange ancestor.

She now even suspects that Lu Chen might be a bizarre progenitor disguised as a human.

Otherwise, how could Lu Chen's Dao be related to the supernatural, and even be able to produce offspring with the supernatural?

However, if Lu Chen were truly strange, he couldn't possibly possess such a strong vitality.

From this perspective, Lu Chen is indeed undoubtedly human. The oppressive aura in the room gradually subsided.

Lu Chen sensed Chu Yuqin's presence and opened the door to leave the room.

Chu Yuqin snapped out of her daze and walked towards Lu Chen.

Walking up to Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin asked, "You've broken through to the late Emperor Realm?"

Lu Chen answered truthfully, "Yes."

Chu Yuqin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lu Chen's breakthrough speed is simply too fast. It will probably not be long before Lu Chen breaks through to the God Realm, or even transcend this world.

Lu Chen asked, "Has Yunzhi regained her memories?"

Chu Yuqin said, "It's recovered."

Lu Chen smiled and continued, "She probably wishes she could kill me right now, right?"

Chu Yuqin said, "She accepts reality very quickly. Even if she wanted to kill you, she wouldn't lay a hand on you."

Lu Chen asked, "Then why did you come to see me? Do you want me to help you cultivate?" Chu Yuqin said, "I plan to help Qingrou regain her memories, so I came to ask you if you still want to cultivate with her."

Lu Chen said, "If you want to help other strange ancestors recover their memories in the future, you don't need to tell me. Just make sure they have cultivated with me once before they recover their memories."

Now that his cultivation level has reached the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and with the Red Flower Sedan Chair as a token of the alliance, Lu Chen is no longer afraid of those strange ancestors regaining their memories.

Lu Chen used to think about controlling these strange progenitors.

However, after realizing that the system might be a scheme orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao of this world, he gave up on that idea.

If he could help other bizarre progenitors regain their memories and increase their strength as quickly as possible, it would actually help them leave this world.

As for whether these strange progenitors will turn against him later, that's something to consider in the future.
