Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 994 - 684: Arrangements for the Cultivators of Misty World
When the cultivators of Black Dragon City noticed the Feihong Immortal Boat flying back, they were all incredibly tense.
Although the Feihong Immortal Boat had just left, not a single cultivator present dared to make a rash move. They knew that if they dared to flee, it could very well mean a death sentence.
Now that their way forward and retreat were both blocked, their only chance at survival was to submit to the Daxia Dynasty.
Most cultivators in the Cultivation World had rather low loyalty to their sects, of course, there were sects with strong cohesion, but clearly, the powers of the Misty World were not among them.
As the Feihong Immortal Boat slowly flew to hover above Black Dragon City, some stewards from the Linghu Sect descended from their own flying boat, directly flying on their swords to outside the gates of Black Dragon City, and then knelt down.
"The Linghu Sect wishes to submit to Your Majesty! To serve Your Majesty! We hope Your Majesty will accept us!"
No sooner had the words of the Linghu Sect’s stewards fallen than an authoritative voice came from the sky, "Granted!"
Hearing this, all the cultivators of the Linghu Sect immediately spoke in unison, "Thank Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long, long live Your Majesty!!!"
Seeing that the Linghu Sect had already submitted to the Daxia Dynasty, the forces under the Misty Immortal Sect became restless too. They were part of the Misty Immortal Sect but had been annexed by them, and they certainly did not wish to be destroyed alongside the Misty Immortal Sect.
Quickly, the leaders of these powers subordinate to the Misty Immortal Sect stood out, intending to submit directly to the Daxia Dynasty like the Linghu Sect had.
However, before these cultivators could step forward, a purple afterimage flashed across the sky, and moments later, the figure of Su Hanyan appeared outside Black Dragon City.
Seeing Su Hanyan’s return, the people of the main branch of the Misty Immortal Sect were also relieved. With Han Yuankai’s betrayal, Su Hanyan had become their mainstay.
If anything were to happen to Su Hanyan, then those cultivators who had followed Han Yuankai and left the Misty Immortal Sect would disperse completely.
Su Hanyan arrived outside the gates of Black Dragon City, bowed towards the Feihong Immortal Boat in the sky, and said, "The Misty Immortal Sect wishes to submit to the Daxia, to serve Your Majesty. From now on, the Misty Immortal Sect will follow all commands of the Daxia Dynasty, and we hope Your Majesty will accept us!"
Seeing Su Hanyan take the initiative to say this, the cultivators of the powers under the Misty Immortal Sect heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Misty Immortal Sect had also surrendered voluntarily; now they should be safe.
As Su Hanyan’s words ended, an authoritarian voice once again came from the sky.
"Granted!"
Su Hanyan immediately led the way, saying, "Thank Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long, long live Your Majesty!"
All the cultivators of the Misty Immortal Sect followed Su Hanyan in kneeling towards Lu Chen.
Sect cultivators generally carried a certain pride and often looked down on mundane royal dynasties. Some cultivators, when going to royal dynasties, behaved condescendingly.
But at this moment, the cultivators present understood that the Daxia Dynasty was not a mundane dynasty at all, but a cultivation dynasty, and submitting to the Daxia Dynasty was not shameful.
In some higher realms of the Cultivation World, there were cultivation dynasties established by cultivation families, which often had great authority over the sect forces within the dynasty’s realm. Some of the cultivators from the Misty World came from such cultivation dynasties.
For most cultivators, being governed by the Daxia Dynasty was not much different from being governed by sect forces. Perhaps the only downside would be more rules and less freedom in the future, but that was still better than losing one’s life.
Even Han Yuankai, the great devil, after using the Bloodthirsty Great Formation, was no match for the Sum Emperor. These cultivators were even less a match for the Sum Emperor.
Surrender would cost them half, but it wasn’t dishonorable.
At this time, Lu Chen stood at the bow of the Flying Boat, sweeping a glance at the flying boats in the sky and the cultivators from the Misty World. Most of the cultivators had low loyalty, which was expected.
Having low loyalty now was of no consequence; loyalty was something that could be improved.
Since the forces of Misty World had already surrendered to the Great Sum Dynasty, the next issue was how to handle these powers.
Several years ago, the Great Sum Dynasty had dissolved all Sects apart from the Mysterious Moon Palace. Although those Sect powers still existed in other forms, such as corporations, they no longer had such strong independence.
Now that so many forces from Misty World had arrived, they were nominally swallowed up by the three major powers, but internally they were not fully integrated; they remained a loose collection of individuals.
If these forces were allowed to continue existing in the form of Sects, perhaps in a few years, the troubles caused by the Sects would arise again.

But if all Sect powers were dissolved, then the Cultivators would lose restraint. At present, the Daxia Dynasty lacked clear legislative provisions for Cultivators, and it was also difficult for the dynasty to manage all Cultivators.
How to handle these Cultivators from Misty World was a difficult problem for Lu Chen.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen decided to let these Sect powers continue to affiliate with the three great powers for now, until he came up with a suitable solution to address this matter.
Having witnessed the upper echelons of Cultivators from the Misty Immortal Sect and Linghu Sect being eliminated by the Great Sum Dynasty, the Cultivators of Misty World wouldn’t dare to act rashly for a short time.
Feeling that there was nothing pressing, Lu Chen convened the high-ranking Elders of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect in the meeting hall of the Immortal Boat.
When Ji Hongwen and others came into close contact with Lu Chen for the first time, they were all incredibly excited. They had gotten in touch with Lu Chen long ago, and only today had they finally seen their emperor.
Ji Hongwen, leading the Elders, bowed to Lu Chen and said, "We greet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Lu Chen replied indifferently, "All rise."
"Thank Your Majesty!"
Immediately, everyone stood up and looked at Lu Chen. With a smile, Lu Chen said, "Sect Master Ji, you have worked hard these past years."
Hearing this from Lu Chen, Ji Hongwen quickly responded, "It’s my duty."
Lu Chen continued, "Now that the greatest threats of the Misty World have been dealt with, the Cultivators of Misty World have become another issue. Sect Master Ji, do you have any way to arrange these Cultivators?"
Hearing Lu Chen’s question, the Elders present fell into thought; indeed, the biggest challenge for the Daxia at the time was how to manage the relationship between Cultivators and ordinary people.
If those Cultivators were allowed to freely enter the cities of ordinary people, some Cultivators might continue acting haughtily based on their previous habits, bringing a lot of trouble to the common folks.
After thinking for a while, Ji Hongwen spoke up, "Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but I cannot think of a good solution at the moment."
"However, I believe we can temporarily disband the Misty Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect, and allocate the former territories of Black Dragon County to the various powers of the Misty World, strictly forbidding them from entering other counties of the Great Sum Dynasty without permission."
"Of course, what I have suggested is just a temporary measure." Read new chapters at novelbuddy
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that doing so was feasible. Placing all powers of the Misty World in one area, then selecting loyal Cultivators to enter Tianchen World, could lead to the formation of an even more formidable War Dragon Army.
The number of Celestials in the Misty World was countless; in the future, the War Dragon Army could directly use Celestials for military expansion. Celestials wielding Rune Weapons could unleash the full potential of these weapons.
Lu Chen said, "Sect Master Ji’s suggestion is good. I will leave the matter of settling the powers of Misty World to Sect Master Ji, to the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect."
Ji Hongwen immediately bowed and said, "Thank Your Majesty for your trust, I shall not fail your expectations."
Lu Chen continued, "The order of the Cultivator gathering area will also be managed by the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect. If there are still those who are blind enough to seek privilege and dominance in other counties, you no longer need me to explain how to deal with them."
Ji Hongwen continued, "Your servant understands. I will manage the Sect powers of the Misty World well, ensuring that those Cultivators dare not venture beyond the former Black Dragon County."
