Chapter 1369: Chapter 1059: Hope to Break the Sealing at Once This Time

Seeing her mother scold her, Qi Qinghan froze for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, her mother had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone.

This was the first time her mother had scolded her.

Qi Qinghan immediately felt a bit aggrieved in her heart.

When Lu Chen saw the aggrieved expression on Qi Qinghan’s face, he quickly said to Mao Yulan, “You know the child is still young. Why scold her?”

Mao Yulan was stunned once again.

The Heavenly Emperor would actually speak up for his daughter.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Qi Qinghan with a smile and said, “Little Qinghan, if you want to go to Tianchen World, I’ll have someone take you there after the ceremony.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Qinghan’s eyes lit up and she immediately asked, “Heavenly Emperor brother… Your Majesty, is it true?”

Lu Chen replied, “Of course it’s true. The Heavenly Emperor never lies.”

Qi Qinghan happily said, “Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”

Mao Yulan also reacted at this time. The Heavenly Emperor allowing them to go to Tianchen World meant he wasn’t planning to take their lives.

Even though, as remnants of the Qingyun Dynasty, they would likely have no freedom in Tianchen World, it was still better than death.

Thinking of this, Mao Yulan quickly kowtowed and said, “Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”

Lu Chen then said, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, go prepare for the ceremony.”

Mao Yulan responded, “Yes, I shall take my leave.”

With that, Mao Yulan stood up, taking Qi Qinghan’s hand and preparing to leave the Imperial Study Room.

As Qi Qinghan left, she turned her little head slightly and looked at Lu Chen with reluctance.

Seeing Qi Qinghan turning back to look at him, Lu Chen gave her a warm, sunny smile once more.

After Mao Yulan returned to her palace, she immediately summoned the ministers and domain lords of the Qingyun Dynasty to discuss the merger ceremony.

When the ministers heard Mao Yulan say that Lu Chen had agreed to the merger of the Qingyun Dynasty into the Daxia Dynasty, the stone in their hearts was finally set down.

For the Heavenly Emperor to agree to the merger, it meant he did not intend to use the common people of the Qingyun Dynasty as cultivation materials for the Slaughter Empress.

Next, they just needed to quickly facilitate the merger of the Qingyun Dynasty into the Daxia Dynasty.

The ministers quickly finalized the time for the ceremony, which was set for two days later. To avoid any unforeseen complications, they wished the ceremony could be held immediately, but some arrangements couldn’t be completed so quickly.

After all, it was a merger ceremony of two empires, it couldn’t be done too shabbily.

Two days later.

Qingyun Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

Qi Qinghan carried a wooden tray with the Jade Seal on it, walked up to Lu Chen, knelt down as Mao Yulan had taught her over the past two days, and recited an oath of loyalty to the Daxia Dynasty.

As Qi Qinghan’s words fell, countless streams of Dynast Qi Fortune from the Qingyun Dynasty poured into Lu Chen’s body, making him feel immensely comfortable.

However, this time, Lu Chen’s main body did not break through like it did last time. He felt that he was still lacking a bit, but he had a premonition that within five years, his main body could break through to the Fourth Layer of the Great Emperor Realm.

Although his main body’s cultivation state did not stir, the massive influx of Dynast Qi Fortune into his divine soul caused his two quasi-emperor avatars to show faint signs of breaking through, which Lu Chen did not expect.

At this moment, his two quasi-emperor avatars were still engaging in dual cultivation with his concubines, feeling the accumulation of a large amount of spiritual power in their bodies. Lu Chen then began to accelerate the cultivation of his avatars.

If the two quasi-emperor avatars broke through, his strength would rise to another level. Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, the system prompt sounded.

“The strength of the host’s avatars has nothing to do with the host’s avatars themselves. Only when the host’s divine soul strength reaches a certain level, can the host’s avatars’ cultivation state break through to higher realms.”

Upon hearing the system’s reminder, Lu Chen suddenly realized he had almost forgotten this matter.

Without sufficient divine soul strength, he couldn’t sustain simultaneously controlling multiple powerful physical bodies. Once his divine soul strength increased, the physical bodies’ strength would naturally rise as well.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen no longer continued paying attention to the cultivation of his quasi-emperor avatars.

After the ceremony, all eyes were on Lu Chen, everyone from the Qingyun Dynasty wanted to see how Lu Chen intended to deal with Mao Yulan and her daughter.

After putting away the Jade Seal of the Qingyun Dynasty, Lu Chen smiled at Qi Qinghan and said, “Qinghan, I will now have someone take you to Tianchen World, okay?”

Seeing Lu Chen speaking so kindly to Qi Qinghan, everyone present was stunned. When the Heavenly Emperor spoke to Qi Qinghan, he did not refer to himself as ‘we,’ but as ‘I,’ showing how deeply he cared for Qi Qinghan.

Why would the Heavenly Emperor favor the remnants of the Qingyun Dynasty?

At this moment, people’s eyes suddenly focused on Mao Yulan, and seeing her mature and voluptuous figure, they immediately understood.

A lone mother and daughter, Mao Yulan would do anything to protect them; it was not surprising.

After guessing the relationship between Mao Yulan and Lu Chen, those who originally wanted to kill Mao Yulan and her daughter as a pledge of loyalty let go of their ideas.

If Mao Yulan had already climbed into the Heavenly Emperor’s bed, making a move against her and Qi Qinghan would be foolish.

At this moment, Lu Chen had not realized that his casual words had led people to misunderstand his relationship with Mao Yulan.

Of course, for the current Lu Chen, such a misunderstanding did not negatively affect him in any way.

Lu Chen then called in Qi Shi, instructing him to personally escort Mao Yulan and her daughter to Tianchen World.

After everything was settled, Lu Chen’s main body began to retreat, planning to break the seal of the Reincarnation Stone to see how many memories of his past life had not yet been recovered.

In the cultivation chamber, the Reincarnation Stone emitting a blue glow floated in front of Lu Chen.

Gazing at the Reincarnation Stone, Lu Chen recalled the first time he used it. He was taken to a sea of flowers and saw a pair of treacherous lovers. It took him at least a hundred years to leave that sea of flowers.

Though the hundred years in the sea of flowers passed in an instant in reality, Lu Chen’s mental state was still significantly affected.

For this reason, Lu Chen hesitated to break the seal of the Reincarnation Stone.

After breaking through to the Great Emperor, he had gained the ability to remove one layer of the Reincarnation Stone’s seal, but he had not done so yet.

Lu Chen sighed deeply, “I hope I can break the seal all at once. I don’t want to be imprisoned for a hundred years every time I break a seal.”

With that, Lu Chen began infusing spiritual power into the Reincarnation Stone.

In the next moment, the blue glow of the Reincarnation Stone faded, replaced by green radiance.

Lu Chen was about to investigate the structure of the Reincarnation Stone using his divine soul when his vision went black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a battlefield.

What the…

Immediately, Lu Chen released his divine sense to explore whether he was in an illusion realm or truly in another world.

After his investigation, he found that the laws of this world were complete, and it was not an illusion but a real world.
