Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1295 - 985: The Shocked Ye Xingteng
Chapter 1295 -985: The Shocked Ye Xingteng
Lu Chen thought to himself he was free of pressing matters recently and could allow his alter ego to meet the people from the Chiyue Dynasty in person.
Although he hadn’t visited several of his grown children, they were all aware of the basic principles, and he believed they wouldn’t do anything too rebellious even if he were to visit them later.
Even Lu Zi’an, the most disappointing of his children, was only fond of the company of women and had never done anything more serious than keep a group of mistresses, at least he hadn’t resorted to murder or arson.
Compared to Lu Zi’an, Lu Chen felt more at ease with his other children.
Black Gold was an extremely precious material. Given its importance, they needed to stock up on more. If the Chiyue Dynasty indeed had a large amount of Black Gold, then he would be quite busy soon.
Before long, Lu Chen’s doppelganger appeared on the edge of the Imperial Mountain Star Region. As he approached the border, he saw several shining, Immortal Boats suspended in the void ahead.
At that very moment,
On board the Changhong Trading Team’s Immortal Boat, the crew was looking nervously at the strange Immortal Boats not far from them.
On the deck of the largest Immortal Boat belonging to the Changhong Trading Team, a middle-aged man in black and red clothing furrowed his brow, his eyes staring intently at the Immortal Boat that was gradually moving closer.
A trading team member whispered to the man, “President Ye, are those truly Immortal Boats? Why don’t I feel any Spiritual Power flowing from them?”
Ye Xingteng did not respond to the crew member, his expression growing even more serious. This was the first time he had encountered such a peculiar type of Immortal Boat.
The so-called Great Sum Dynasty was likely not simple. He remembered that when he passed by this place five thousand years ago, there was no Empire. Now, after just five thousand years, an Empire had risen in this Star Domain, and they also possessed some oddities.
When Lu Chen, aboard a Starship, reached within two kilometers of the Changhong Trading Team, Ye Xingteng disembarked from the Immortal Boat, leading people towards the Starship asking, “May I know which Lord is in charge here?”
Lu Chen emerged from the Starship, standing on its top deck, watching Ye Xingteng and the others from afar. He then used the system to identify their information and, after a quick glance, his gaze settled on Ye Xingteng.
[Name: Ye Xingteng]
[Identity: President of the Chiyue Dynasty’s Changhong Trading Team]
[Strength: Guixu Realm Ninth Layer]
[Loyalty: 20]

Lu Chen spoke up: “I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of His Majesty.”
Lu Chen did not intend to reveal his identity just yet; he wanted to see what these people were planning before deciding whether to disclose his Identity.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ye Xingteng immediately said, “President Ye Xingteng of the Chiyue Dynasty’s Changhong Trading Team at your service, Lord.”
Lu Chen nodded and said, “My surname is Lu.”
Ye Xingteng then asked, “Lord Lu, may we now enter the Imperial Mountain Star Region?”
Lu Chen asked, “Before that, I need to ask President Ye a few questions.”
Ye Xingteng replied, “Please ask, Lord Lu.”
Lu Chen inquired, “May I know the purpose of President Ye’s visit to the Daxia Dynasty this time?”
Ye Xingteng answered, “We didn’t specifically have the Daxia Dynasty as our destination. It’s just that we happened to pass by the nearby Star Domain, so we thought we’d stop by to see if there was anything of interest for us.”
Lu Chen felt somewhat surprised in his heart. Judging by Ye Xingteng’s tone, Ye Xingteng was not lying. Does that mean the other party was really just passing by?
Lu Chen asked with a smile, “May I know what President Ye is in need of?”
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Ye Xingteng’s gaze involuntarily fell upon the starship. It was his first time seeing a starship that could move without the aid of Spiritual Power, and at that moment, his interest in the starship grew intensely.
If they could purchase a starship to study thoroughly, and if they could also manufacture starships in the future, then the Changhong Trading Team could definitely become the largest merchant association in the universe.
Although powerhouses can traverse the void, and those with somewhat weaker abilities can travel to other worlds by riding an Immortal Boat, the number of these celestial vessels in the universe is still far too few. If they had a large number of vessels like the ones from the Great Sum Empire that don’t require the propulsion of Spiritual Energy, then interstellar exchanges between various powers would definitely become more frequent in the future.
Ye Xingteng then said, “Lord Lu, I wonder if the Immortal Boat you are traveling on could be available for trade? Our trading team has a large amount of Black Gold that we can trade with.”
Lu Chen originally wanted to ask where their Black Gold came from, but quickly realized that it’s taboo to inquire about a merchant’s sources of goods, and it was very likely that Ye Xingteng would not disclose this information to him.
With this in mind, Lu Chen refrained from voicing his question.
Finding out the source of the Black Gold wouldn’t be a difficult task for him, as his Soul Control Technique had reached the pinnacle of perfection. He just needed to casually inquire anyone from the Changhong Trading Team when the time came.
Lu Chen then said, “The matter regarding the starship must be reported to Your Majesty. Only with Your Majesty’s consent, can the trade occur.”
“You all are planning to stop at the Imperial Mountain Domain Star Region for repairs, right?”
Ye Xingteng replied, “Yes, that’s right.”
Lu Chen continued, “Alright, I’ll have someone lead you to register first. Once you receive your pass, you’ll be able to visit the majority of the star domains in the Great Sum Empire.”
Ye Xingteng courteously said, “Then I would like to thank Lord Lu for the trouble.”
Lu Chen answered indifferently, “It’s no trouble at all, it’s expected.”
At this point, Lu Chen looked over to the General at his side, “General Zhang, it’s up to you to lead them to get their passes.”
“Yes, Your… My lord.”
Subsequently, a General of the War Dragon Army led Ye Xingteng and their Immortal Boat into the Imperial Mountain Domain. The moment they entered the Imperial Mountain Domain, they were once again struck by awe at the sight before them.
Within the Imperial Mountain Domain, there were starships coming and going between life worlds. The entire star domain was bustling with activity. Ye Xingteng had visited many star domains but had never seen such a lively scene elsewhere.
However, he quickly calmed down. It was not surprising to witness such scenes in the Great Sum Empire, as they had Immortal Boats that did not require Spiritual Energy to operate.
Previous Immortal Boats had to be powered by Spiritual Power, and to allow for a smoother flow of Spiritual Power, most parts of the Immortal Boat had to be constructed with Xianjin.
As the resources of Xianjin in the universe are limited, Immortal Boats were not plentiful, particularly in remote star domains.
With few Immortal Boats, naturally, one would not witness such a bustling scene filled with these celestial vessels, and only the outer regions of super dynasties like the Emperor Star of the Shenyue Dynasty would likely exhibit such vistas.
Since the Great Sum Empire’s Immortal Boats didn’t need to be driven by Spiritual Power, there was no need for so much Xianjin, and their quantity wasn’t constrained by Xianjin resources.
After observing for some time, Ye Xingteng saw that the Great Sum Empire’s Immortal Boats only made minimal use of Xianjin in the protective formation on the surface, while the other materials were relatively ordinary metals.
Of course, the term “ordinary” here means that these metal materials could be produced, they weren’t as rare as Xianjin, but in terms of this era, the materials used to manufacture starships were still quite special.
