Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

In the Desert Sea, Yun Yudie glanced at the large crater caused by Lu Chen's explosion in front of her, then looked into the distance. After not sensing Wuya Immortal Venerable's aura, she knew he must have escaped.

As for Wuya Immortal Venerable, she did not plan to pursue him. After all, Wuya Immortal Venerable grasps the Space-Time Path and can manipulate Space Power. If he wanted to flee, he could simply activate Space Power and traverse space, making it likely she wouldn't be able to catch him.

Yun Yudie immediately returned to the Mysterious Moon Palace.

She had just returned to her bedchamber when one of Lu Chen's Heavenly Immortal body appeared in the hall.

Lu Chen glanced around and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect Honored Master to still be an Immortal Body."

Ignoring Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie said, "He escaped. When he returns to the Heavenly Splendor Hall, he may bring more Immortal Venerates with him. You'd better think carefully about how to handle what's coming."

If there were only one Immortal Venerate, she could handle it herself, but if several more Immortal Venerates came, especially with powerful Magic Treasures, she certainly couldn't withstand it alone.

Lu Chen said, "What is there to fear, he..."

Before Lu Chen finished speaking, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart, making him very uncomfortable, as if he was being targeted by some great enemy.

Lu Chen suddenly turned to look in the direction of the Sunset Mountain Range; that feeling came from the Sunset Mountain Range. Could it be that the Heavenly Splendor Hall sent stronger Immortal Venerates here?

The feeling was not exclusive to Lu Chen. At this time, Yun Yudie also felt it, and she also looked toward the direction of the Sunset Mountain Range, releasing her Divine Thought to investigate what was happening in the Sunset Mountain Range.

However, after releasing her Divine Thought, she found nothing; everything in the Sunset Mountain Range was calm.

Turning to look at Yun Yudie, Lu Chen asked, "Did you feel it too?"

Yun Yudie withdrew her Divine Thought and responded, "Yes."

Lu Chen muttered to himself, "It's a bit strange; there's no aura, yet it incites fear. What exactly is in the Sunset Mountain Range?"

If a strong figure appeared in the Sunset Mountain Range and released an aura, causing fear among people would be quite normal. But the sudden feeling of dread cloaked Lu Chen's heart, as if a catastrophe was imminent, and most importantly, he detected no aura from any powerful figure.

This situation seemed a bit eerie.

Lu Chen looked at Yun Yudie and asked, "Did you perceive anything?"

With a solemn expression, Yun Yudie answered, "No."

She too had a gut feeling that there was some danger within the Sunset Mountain Range, but her Divine Thought detected no abnormalities. Of course, the anomaly might be deeper within the Sunset Mountain Range.

After all, the Sunset Mountain Range is vast, and her Divine Thought couldn't possibly cover it completely.

After considering for a moment, Lu Chen said, "Why don't we take a look?"

With that, Lu Chen prepared to use the Spirit Realm Crossing Array. Seeing this, Yun Yudie, without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, began channeling immortal power toward him.

In the next moment, the Spirit Realm Crossing Array activated, and their bodies disappeared from the hall. When they reappeared, they were above the Sunset Mountain Range.

The Sunset Mountain Range was extremely extensive, and within it were many dire locations, so even an Immortal Venerate's Divine Thought couldn't fully investigate it.

Lu Chen had only transmitted them to the fringe of the Sunset Mountain Range and did not venture deep inside.

Once in the air above the Sunset Mountain Range, they looked towards its depths. At this moment, the Sunset Mountain Range was full of life, a realm of birds and flowers, showing no signs of anything being amiss.

However, Lu Chen and Yun Yudie trusted their senses; if one person experienced an illusion, that would be understandable, but it was impossible for both of them to have the same illusion simultaneously. There must be something bizarre within the Sunset Mountain Range, yet they were unable to perceive it.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen told Yun Yudie, "Let's go back, this place is indeed strange."

While speaking, Lu Chen once again arranged the Spirit Realm Crossing Array, and they instantly returned to the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Back at the Mysterious Moon Palace, Lu Chen asked Yun Yudie, "What do you think that was?"

Yun Yudie didn't answer immediately; a thoughtful expression appeared on her cold jade-like face. After a while, she said, "Perhaps a strong presence from the Sunset Mountain Range's dire locations has emerged."

The Sunset Mountain Range holds many dire locations that even Immortal Venerates dare not easily tread. What's within these places remains unknown, but there are suspicions that some sealed primordial immortals reside in them.

Of course, whether this is true or not, no one knows, as nobody has verified it.

Lu Chen thought for a while; the fact that without releasing an aura, it could induce a sense of crisis suggested that whatever was in the Sunset Mountain Range—be it human or non-human—it would inevitably impact him in the future. He needed to keep a constant watch on the Sunset Mountain Range.

...

Half a year later.

At the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Star River Immortal Venerate sat atop the Xianjin-crafted throne at the forefront of the Star River Hall, discussing recent events with other Immortal Venerates.

At this moment, one Immortal Venerate said, "I believe immortals from other realms should have noticed as well."

Another Immortal Venerate commented, "This is somewhat similar to the previous situation with the Reproduction Path, maybe it's only temporary."

Recently, Immortal Venerates gradually discovered that the paths they tread on were being eroded by some strange force, reducing the Power of Dao they could mobilize. Almost all immortals, whether Immortal Venerates or ordinary immortals, experienced a significant decline in power.

This plunged all immortals in the Southern Domain into panic, as if an age of fading laws was approaching. Though they had never experienced such an age, ancient records detailed some occurrences akin to a fading era.

Listening to the discussions among Immortal Venerates in the hall, Star River Immortal Venerate pondered; his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of Immortal Venerate, allowing him to sense more clearly the eerie erosion power affecting the path he cultivated.

Then, another Immortal Venerate said, "I think Immortal Venerable Tianfeng has a point; hasn't the Reproduction Path faced issues before, yet ultimately it returned to normal—it should be temporary this time too."

When the Reproduction Path faced problems, reproduction in the Tianyan Immortal Domain became very difficult, overwhelming all forces with panic. Various immortal sects began focusing resources on raising mortals to supplement their ranks.

But decades ago, the Reproduction Path in the Tianyan Immortal Domain returned to normal, leading some Immortal Venerates to suspect this situation might also be temporary, possibly normalizing soon.

However, "soon" could mean hundreds of years, or a few billion years, as the Reproduction Path's issues persisted for tens of billions of years.
