After Emperor Shenwu calmed his agitated emotions, he asked, "You donât know how to break the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty, and the Heavenly Mystery Maiden will not side with us. So how do we deal with the threat of Lu Chen?"
Xuan Tian fell silent, not answering directly. At this time, the Starry Sky Pavilion was terrifyingly quiet, and the stars in the sky kept changing positions as days passed.
After Xuan Tianâs silence, Emperor Shenwu also didnât speak, just stared at Xuan Tian.
The two remained at an impasse for a month before Xuan Tian finally spoke, "The best way now is to lure Lu Chen out. Perhaps once Lu Chen is dealt with, the Immortal Artifact will lose its master, and without someone to control it, the barrier will automatically dissolve."
Upon hearing Xuan Tianâs answer, Emperor Shenwu chuckled, "I thought youâd come up with something good after thinking for so long."
Emperor Shenwu shared the same thoughts as Xuan Tian, but this plan had many problems. For instance, what could be used to attract Lu Chen from the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty?
Even if Lu Chen is attracted out of the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty, how can we be sure that itâs Lu Chenâs true body?
Furthermore, what if Lu Chen dies and the barrier continues to remain effective?
Of course, Lu Chenâs death would eliminate their greatest threat, but if the barrier created by the Immortal Artifact persists, it could bring unexpected variables to the world.
For instance, if thereâs a way inside the barrier to quickly break through to the Heavenly Emperor, and someone inside uses Lu Chenâs leftover heavenly treasures to first breakthrough to Heavenly Emperor, wouldnât that also be a threat?
This is what Emperor Shenwu is most worried about. Lu Chenâs Heavenly Emperor title has spread, and Lu Chen has not yet faced cosmic origin punishment, proving that he very likely is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.
Being the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, surely he possesses some inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor. The treasures left by a Heavenly Emperor wonât be inferior and might even contain opportunities for taking that step.
If Lu Chen falls and the barrier cannot be broken, and the Heavenly Emperorâs inheritance falls into the hands of the Great Sum Dynastyâs Great Emperors, it will be troublesome.
Xuan Tian said, "There is actually another solution."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Shenwu curiously asked, "What solution?"
Xuan Tian said, "As long as Lu Chen can be lured out of the Daxia Dynasty, I have a way to send the entire Daxia Dynasty along with the Immortal Artifact out of this universe, so the Immortal Artifact wonât affect this universe."
"Even if Lu Chen leaves behind the opportunity to become Heavenly Emperor, it wonât be available to people in this universe."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Shenwu was stunned.
Sending the Daxia Dynasty along with the Immortal Artifact out of this universe?
This...
What kind of power can achieve this?
Who exactly is Xuan Tian?
Can he really accomplish this?
If Xuan Tian can achieve this, then Xuan Tianâs threat might even be greater than Lu Chenâs.
Thinking this, Emperor Shenwu suddenly had a strong sense of vigilance towards Xuan Tian, but now wasnât the time for that. If Xuan Tian truly could send the entire Daxia Dynasty out of this universe, then Xuan Tianâs power must be greater than his current power.
Xuan Tian knew that saying this would make Emperor Shenwu cautious, but there was no choice; he needed to use Emperor Shenwu.
If he didnât mention this plan, perhaps Emperor Shenwu wouldnât cooperate with him. He needed Emperor Shenwu to know he could handle the threat of Lu Chen; only then could their cooperation progress further.
Emperor Shenwu regained his composure and looked Xuan Tian in the eyes, asking, "Do you truly have a way?"
Xuan Tian said calmly, "Yes."
This time, Emperor Shenwu fell into deep thought. No matter Xuan Tianâs threat, Lu Chenâs threat must certainly be resolved, so allying with Xuan Tian was essential.
So the current problem is how to attract Lu Chenâs true body out?
Emperor Shenwu suddenly thought of something, and then his serious expression relaxed, "There might be a way to attract him out."
Xuan Tian said, "Letâs hear it."
Emperor Shenwu continued, "Outer Domain."
Upon hearing these words, Xuan Tian immediately understood what Emperor Shenwu meant.
If Lu Chen is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, he likely wants to restore his Great Emperor Realm, and currently, the fastest way to restore the Great Emperor Realm is to go to the Outer Domain, where abundant heavenly treasures exist that can help elevate oneâs realm.
Emperor Shenwu continued, "If the Outer Domain had a treasure that could let him quickly recover his realm, do you think he would go?"
Xuan Tian thought about it and felt Emperor Shenwuâs plan had some feasibility.
However...
Xuan Tian was well aware that deceiving Lu Chen wasnât easy.
He didnât know how much memory Lu Chen had regained. If Lu Chen restored all his memories, including those from before coming to this universe, it might be impossible to fool Lu Chen.
After pondering for a while, Xuan Tian said, "Leave this matter to me; I know what can attract him."
Emperor Shenwu said, "Okay." He had no doubts about Xuan Tianâs words. After all, Xuan Tian was the Tower Master of Tianji Pavilion, he wouldnât be unable to handle something so trivial.
...
Mysterious Moon Palace.
A woman dressed in a white long skirt stood on the roof of the Palace Masterâs chamber, her white attire fluttering, emitting a holy glow, covering the entire rooftop in a layer of frost.
Suddenly, behind the woman appeared a gigantic Ice Maiden Law Manifestation. The Ice Maidenâs originally closed eyes slowly opened at this moment, revealing a pair of violet, enchanting eyes.
In the next moment, Yun Qingshuâs cultivation state surged.
Great Emperor First Layer...
Great Emperor Second Layer...
...
Yun Qingshuâs realm continued to rise until it stopped at the Great Emperor Sixth Layer.
Upon feeling her realm restored, Yun Qingshu suddenly thought about her clone.
Since she began her retreat, sheâs unaware of events in the outside world or how her clone is doing now.
Feeling the presence of a large amount of Heavenly Demon Power around her, Yun Qingshu immediately guessed that the Era Tribulation was fast approaching.
In her previous life, she experienced the entire process of the Era Tribulationâs arrival, understanding clearly that the invasion of Heavenly Demons is the precursor to the Era Tribulation.
At this moment, Yun Qingshu waved her hand, turning the night sky of her world into daylight instantly.
Yun Qingshu immediately messaged the Elders of Mysterious Moon Palace, summoning them to the Palace Master Hall to update her on recent events in the universe.
A moment later, all Elders of Mysterious Moon Palace gathered. Yun Qingshu scanned the Elders.
The Elders of Mysterious Moon Palace felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Yun Qingshu, not daring to breathe heavily.
Yun Qingshu asked expressionlessly, "Tell me everything that has happened in the universe during this period."
