Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1364 - 1054: Empress Tianhong: I Want You to Help Me with My Cultivation

Chapter 1364 -1054: Empress Tianhong: I Want You to Help Me with My Cultivation

Hearing Lu Chen’s “praise,” Qi Shi just felt ashamed and didn’t know what to say.

He hadn’t expected that the Qi Family, in order to save their lives, would come up with such a troublesome scheme. Originally, he had planned to persuade Qi Hongguang to surrender to the Daxia Dynasty and then pledge loyalty to Lu Chen to preserve the Qi bloodline.

As a result, Qi Hongguang had already fled.

At this time, Lu Chen stopped in his tracks, released his Divine Sense, and scanned the entire Qingyun Dynasty. He discovered that most of the Qingyun Dynasty’s Dynastic Qi Fortune had gathered into the belly of the pregnant woman just now.

Now, to fully obtain the Qi Fortune of the Qingyun Dynasty, he would have to wait for that pregnant woman to give birth to the child and for the child to grow up to the point where it could voluntarily pledge allegiance to him.

Of course, he could also forcefully seize the Qi Fortune by directly killing the pregnant woman. In that case, the Qingyun Dynasty’s Qi Fortune would enter his body instantly.

However, Lu Chen was clearly not willing to kill a pregnant woman.

Moreover, doing so would result in a significant loss of the Qi Fortune he acquired.

He could afford to wait a few years; after all, it was just a matter of time.

In the following year, Lu Chen’s Great Emperor incarnation stayed at the Qingyun Dynasty. To gather information about the outside world, especially news about Yunhua Palace, Lu Chen sent out numerous spies.

However, the universe was vast, and despite the large number of spies, the information they brought back was mostly scattered and of little use.

There was one piece of information that was particularly important for the Daxia Dynasty. Since the Heavenly Mystery Maiden publicly announced the impending great calamity, the entire universe had been thrown into turmoil.

More and more Great Emperors, in an attempt to resist the calamity, began to frantically expand their Empires, trying to use Dynastic Qi Fortune to help them survive the disaster.

This piece of information was crucial to the Daxia Dynasty because, as a burgeoning Empire, once those Great Emperors discovered its existence, they would undoubtedly choose to attack it.

The current situation for Daxia had become even more dire.

Due to this news, Lu Chen felt a sense of urgency. To receive more rewards from the system, he had been diligently working throughout the year, but to no avail.

Among his wives and concubines, only Empress Tianhong and Chu Yuqin were pregnant.

What puzzled him was that although Empress Tianhong and Chu Yuqin had been pregnant for a year, their bellies showed no signs of growth and still appeared normal in size.

If he hadn’t frequently checked their bodies, he would have suspected that his children had been aborted.

This made Lu Chen realize that siring offspring as a Great Emperor was indeed no easy task.

Qingyun Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

Empress Tianhong, dressed in a red long gown, stood atop the grand and majestic palace roof, gazing into the deep space of the universe. A hint of fatigue appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Over the past year, the child in her belly had been frantically absorbing her Power of Slaughter, causing her body to become increasingly weak and her strength to decline.

Initially, she thought of replenishing her Power of Slaughter by slaughtering people of the Qingyun Dynasty, but Lu Chen forbade her from doing so. Dissatisfied with the various restrictions Lu Chen imposed on her, she had not let him touch her body for the past year.

Lu Chen could only see her when he insisted on checking her body.

Lu Chen had hinted at wanting to engage in some activities with her many times, but she pretended not to understand his hints.

As Lu Chen’s Contracted Artifact Spirit, she was fully aware of his vile thoughts, but the very idea of this man constantly controlling her made her feel uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, she naturally wouldn’t let Lu Chen touch her.

But as a result, her Power of Slaughter did not get replenished, and her strength deteriorated even faster.

Feeling her cultivation state becoming unstable, Empress Tianhong knew she couldn’t go on like this.

The talent of this child was simply too heaven-defying. It had been in her belly for a year and was still not fully developed.

No one knew how long Lu Chen’s child would remain in her womb. If it stayed for thousands of years, her cultivation might drop below the Saint Realm, or even lower.

With the great calamity approaching in ten thousand years, any decline in strength at this critical time would make it impossible for her to survive the disaster.

She had to come up with a plan. Since Lu Chen wouldn’t allow her to kill at will, to restore her strength, she could only resort to killing Lu Chen’s undeveloped offspring.

It was the only method currently available to quickly restore her strength.

Although she harbored some resentment towards Lu Chen, she had to do this to regain her strength.

With this in mind, Empress Tianhong’s figure flashed and the next moment, her graceful silhouette appeared in Lu Chen’s cultivation chamber.

Feeling Empress Tianhong’s presence, Lu Chen immediately opened his eyes.

“What is it, Honghong?”

Empress Tianhong glanced coldly at Lu Chen without saying a word.

Lu Chen looked at her quizzically, knowing she had been discontented with his control over her in the past year.

Precisely because of this, Empress Tianhong almost never sought him out. Every time he mentioned checking her body to see how the child was developing, she would delay for a long time before appearing.

Why did Empress Tianhong take the initiative to find him today?

Lu Chen didn’t think of anything romantic; after all, Empress Tianhong, being a Great Emperor, could easily control her desires.

Maybe she thought that romantic affairs were purely a waste of her time. Lu Chen had long stopped hoping for any such moments with her.

After all, he had many women, and even if he couldn’t touch Empress Tianhong, it wouldn’t affect his mindset.

Seeing Empress Tianhong silent, Lu Chen continued to ask, “Did something happen outside?”

Empress Tianhong finally spoke, “I need you to help me cultivate.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen’s face instantly showed a look of disbelief.

He never expected Empress Tianhong to ask him to cultivate with her.

Regaining his composure, Lu Chen was about to respond when Empress Tianhong suddenly gestured, using Space Teleportation to bring them both to her bedchamber in an instant.

Although Lu Chen had many women, and even if he couldn’t be with Empress Tianhong, it wouldn’t affect him much.

But Empress Tianhong was, after all, an Empress, and Lu Chen still had a desire to conquer her again, although this desire had been suppressed due to her cold demeanor over the past year.

Now, with Empress Tianhong taking the initiative, his desire instantly rekindled, and the thought of conquering her again made his inner heat surge.

Without hesitation, he said, “Alright, but I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Empress Tianhong waved again, causing Lu Chen’s clothes to disappear instantly.

Empress Tianhong’s red gown also gradually faded away.

The next moment, her body appeared before Lu Chen, their noses almost touching. Her slender hand then pushed him onto the soft bed.

Empress Tianhong then placed herself on top of Lu Chen.
