Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 978 - 668: Lu Chen’s Trump Card

When Lu Chen appeared in the Imperial Study Room, several commanders of the Brocade Guard had already been waiting there, and Zhuge Zhongguang as well as a group of Celestials had also arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

Even Yun Xianxian was present in the Imperial Study Room at this moment. Her perception was extremely strong, and even without a telegram from the Brocade Guard from the first world, she had sensed that the barriers of the Misty World were about to dissipate. Therefore, she came to the Imperial Study Room at the first opportunity, wanting to see how Lu Chen planned to deal with the invasion of the forces from the Misty World.

Upon seeing Lu Chen, everyone promptly paid their respects, "We greet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand years!"

Lu Chen glanced at the crowd, "Dispense with the formalities."

Then, Lu Chen said to Qin Yushan at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, "Qin Aiqing, immediately notify the officials of the Military Department to arrive at the Hall of Political Affairs within half an hour for a military conference."

Qin Yushan bowed and said, "As you command, Your Majesty!"

After Qin Yushan left, Lu Chen then began, "All of you must already know about the imminent disappearance of the barriers in the Misty World."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Zhongguang directly said, "Your Majesty, with the current combat strength of the Daxia Army, I fear it will be insufficient to resist those forces from the Misty World. However, Your Majesty must already have a strategy to deal with this crisis."

Seeing the unruffled demeanor of Lu Chen, it was easy to guess that he had surely made preparations well in advance.

At that moment, Lu Chen stated, "Indeed, I do have a plan in place—you will understand once the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect enters the Tianchen World."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, everyone couldn’t help but think, could it be that their Emperor was pinning all the hopes on the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect?

According to the intelligence they had received, although the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect did indeed hold some strength, it was only the second greatest force in the Misty World and there was a significant gap between them and the Misty Immortal Sect, the number one force. Moreover, there was the presence of the Linghu Sect in the Misty World.

The key point was that these forces of the Misty World had already joined forces, making the Misty Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect even stronger than before. Relying solely on the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect might not be enough to withstand the Misty Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect.

Although uncertain, everyone still trusted their Emperor; throughout his reign, he had never taken uncalculated risks.

If he believed there was no problem, then there surely was none. After all, the barriers of the Misty World would disappear in just a few days, and soon they would know what trump card their Emperor held.

In less than half an hour, the military generals and officials of Yan County’s Military Department arrived at the Hall of Political Affairs, and the military conference officially began.

Seeing Lu Chen once more, the officials of the Military Department immediately guessed that something significant had happened; it had been a long time since Lu Chen had called a military conference of this scale, and this Emperor had delegated much like a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving political affairs largely in the hands of Zhuge Zhongguang.

Now that the Emperor had taken control of military affairs again, it meant there must be issues arising from the Misty World. Lu Chen, seated on the Dragon Throne, scanned the officials below and then asked, "The protection of the Misty World is about to fade, and the Daxia Dynasty will face another challenge."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the officials from the Military Department thought to themselves that it was as they had suspected—thebarriers of the Misty World were indeed about to dissolve.

At that moment, Lu Chen turned to Li Yu, who was in charge of manufacturing the Rune Weapons, "Li Aiqing, how many Rune Cannons do we have at present?"

Li Yu stood up, bowed, and answered, "Your Majesty, there are a total of one hundred thousand Rune Firearms, ten thousand Rune Mortars, one thousand Rune Cannons, and a combined total of eight million Rune Bullets. Additionally, we have a hundred thousand shells for the mortars and various cannons."

After hearing Li Yu’s report, the confidence of the officials, especially the generals, grew slightly.

However, at this time, Lu Chen said, "Not enough, it’s still far from enough."

Lu Chen continued, "Instruct the armaments factory to increase production."

Li Yu immediately responded, "As you command, Your Majesty."

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen then looked at Xuanyuan Chen, "General Xuanyuan, how are those new recruits you enlisted faring in their training?"

The War Dragon Army had expanded from a mere few thousand people to now sixty thousand, of whom twenty thousand were part of a division established just this past year, and this new division was the one Xuanyuan Chen was responsible for training.

Xuanyuan Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, they have all mastered the use of Rune Weapons."

Even though Rune Weapons didn’t seem too different from ordinary weapons, to bring out the maximum power of Rune Weapons, certain techniques are necessary, such as infusing them with Spiritual Power.

Now that the Spiritual Energy of the Tianchen World had been restored, becoming even more abundant than before, even Ninth-Rank Martial Artists could sense the presence of Spiritual Energy, and they also had the capability to use Spiritual Power; however, it did take some time to learn.

Only when all the soldiers could infuse their Rune Weapons with Spiritual Power, could the true strength of the War Dragon Army be fully unleashed.

After hearing Xuanyuan Chen’s report, Lu Chen said, "Very good, now let’s discuss the deployment of the troops."

"I have already ordered a relocation of the citizens of Black Dragon City. When the time comes, we will use Black Dragon City as the focal point of our defense to stop the invaders from the Misty World from entering the Daxia Dynasty. Additionally..."

Lu Chen then proceeded to arrange the deployment of the War Dragon Army. After the military meeting concluded, the entire Military Department sprang into action.

Once the meeting was over and the department’s officials had left, Yun Xianxian, who had been sitting in the great hall without saying a word, finally spoke up, "Do you really have an ace up your sleeve, or are you planning to rely on those rune weapons to deal with the cultivators from the Misty World?"

Although Lu Chen’s rune weapons were indeed quite formidable, and even Yun Xianxian herself had personally used rune weapons and acknowledged their power, the recipients of these weapons were mostly Ninth-Rank Martial Artists, and only a small portion were intended for Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

They could not fully utilize the power of the rune weapons, and Yun Xianxian did not believe that the War Dragon Army could withstand the forces from the Misty World.

Moreover, while the current rune weapons of Great Xia were effective against Celestial beings, they would struggle to be of use against opponents in the Genesis Realm or the Yin-Yang Realm.

Lu Chen did not answer directly but took out a set of Shenghui Armor from his system space.

He passed the Shenghui Armor to Yun Xianxian, who curiously accepted it.

Lu Chen continued, "Honored Master, try it on and see how it works."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xianxian did not hesitate to channel her Spiritual Power into the Shenghui Armor. In the next moment, the armor turned into a beam of light that enveloped her body, and soon, Yun Xianxian was clad in a suit of armor that shone with a golden light. Continue reading on novelbuddy

Feeling the armor frantically absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy and channeling it into her body, Yun Xianxian was slightly stunned. Could this armor actually help the wearer absorb Spiritual Power?

Moreover, she could sense that her strength had been boosted quickly after putting on the armor. Her current true realm was the Genesis Realm, but the moment she put on the armor, she gained strength approaching that of the Yin-Yang Realm.

An armor that could rapidly enhance someone’s realm by a significant level was indeed a remarkable treasure.

However...

Yun Xianxian then asked, "Who do you plan on giving this armor to?"

While the item was excellent, there was only one of it. If Lu Chen were to use it himself, at most, he would possess the strength of the Yin-Yang Realm.

And the strength built up by the armor to the Yin-Yang Realm would likely still be less formidable than that of the cultivators from the Misty World. Relying solely on this piece of armor to confront the powers of the Misty World would still prove challenging.

As Yun Xianxian was contemplating this, Lu Chen said, "Honored Master, this set of armor is for you."

Surprised by his words, Yun Xianxian was caught off guard. She had not expected Lu Chen to gift her something so precious. She quickly replied, "This armor is too valuable, and it would be greatly beneficial to you. I cannot accept it."

Having said that, Yun Xianxian was about to take off the armor to return it to Lu Chen.

But just then, with a casual wave of his hand, Lu Chen made hundreds of the same armors float in the air. Seeing this, Yun Xianxian was completely astounded.

She had thought such a treasure would be rare and precious, yet this rebellious disciple casually waved his hand and produced so many identical sets of armor.

Yun Xianxian quickly regained her composure. If it had been anyone other than Lu Chen who presented so many armors, it would have been hard to explain, but Lu Chen was different. As the son of the Great Emperor, owning an extravagant Immortal Boat, it was not surprising for him to have hundreds of such valuable pieces of armor.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, then said to Yun Xianxian, "Honored Master, what if I told you I have a thousand sets of this armor? Do you think those powers of the Misty World would still stand a chance against me?"

Yun Xianxian was taken aback. A thousand sets?

She had thought Lu Chen possessed a little over a hundred sets, yet with so many at his disposal, and adding the fact that the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect was under Lu Chen’s control, how would the forces of the Misty World be able to compete with him?

Once the prohibitions of the Misty World perished and the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect entered the Tianchen World, all Lu Chen would need to do was to distribute these armors to the Heavenly Man Realm Cultivators to create an army composed of cultivators with Genesis Realm strength. Moreover, the strength of the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect currently in the Genesis Realm and Yin-Yang Realm would also be elevated by a large degree.

The overall strength of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect would instantly surpass all the powers of the Misty World. The Misty Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect wouldn’t stand a chance against the Daxia Dynasty.

So this was Lu Chen’s trump card.

Lu Chen continued, "Honored Master, please keep this armor."

Yun Xianxian gave it some thought and decided not to refuse any further. Since Lu Chen had so many Shenghui Armors, being short of one set wouldn’t matter.

"Since you already have a plan of action, your master shall not say more. I will return to my cultivation."

"Alright, Master, please go ahead."

With that, Yun Xianxian left the Hall of Political Affairs.

After Yun Xianxian had gone, Lu Chen took out the Space-Time Mirror and directly contacted Ji Hongwen of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.
