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

Facing Lu Chen's question, a cheerful Chu Zhengyu immediately replied, "I am an Immortal King."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen feigned a slightly surprised expression, making Chu Zhengyu feel quite satisfied upon seeing Lu Chen seemingly shocked by his realm.

Lu Chen tentatively said at this moment, "Even the cultivation state of the Immortal King in this short time has suffered such severe injuries exploring this small world; is it really so dangerous?"

Chu Zhengyu chuckled and said, "You should see whose small world this was left behind by. This small world was left by a power equivalent to that of the Immortal Emperor, where obtaining opportunities isn't that easy."

"You, a Mortal Immortal, dare to come to such a place to train, it's purely seeking death. When I find an exit, you should follow me out together."

Lu Chen feigned a slightly worried expression and then quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. Once the way out is found, I will immediately leave this small world."

Upon hearing this from Lu Chen, Chu Zhengyu glanced at Lu Chen again. Now his body had recovered somewhat, and under the nourishment of life force, the original pain on his body gradually disappeared. Chu Zhengyu calmed down and thought for a while.

According to the memories in this person's memory pearl, he comes from the Beast Alliance, which should all be of the Demon Race. Yet this person bears no trace of the Demon Race and looks merely like an ordinary Mortal Immortal.

But the opportunity to explore the small world left by a great power is so rare, and coupled with limited slots, how could the Beast Alliance dispatch a Mortal Immortal here?

This appears somewhat too abrupt.

Isn't sending a Mortal Immortal a waste of slots?

Entering this small world would be seeking death for such a Mortal Immortal.

This person is likely not an ordinary Mortal Immortal.

Perhaps because this person cultivates the Life Dao, the Beast Alliance worries about lacking healing if hurt here, hence choosing to send him in?

While Chu Zhengyu was lost in thought, Lu Chen continued probing, "Senior, could you tell me what dangers exist inside this small world?"

Chu Zhengyu replied, "Similar to those secret realms, merely formations and some fierce beasts."

Lu Chen intended to ask more, but Chu Zhengyu interjected, "You... are not an ordinary person, are you?"

Upon hearing Chu Zhengyu's question, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned, wondering if Chu Zhengyu might have discovered his identity.

It shouldn't be possible, as his appearance has completely transformed, making it not easily recognizable.

Lu Chen countered, "Why does senior ask?"

Chu Zhengyu said, "You need not be nervous, I'm merely curious. You come from the Beast Alliance, which is a Demon Race force. With limited slots, a Human Race Mortal Immortal being able to follow the Beast Alliance into this small world implies you must have special identity or unique capability."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen realized Chu Zhengyu merely suspected his identity to be special, without discerning his true identity.

Lu Chen promptly stated, "I cultivate the Life Dao allowing me to heal others. Unless killed instantly, I can prolong their lives using life force, which is why the Alliance Hierarch permitted me to enter the small world with the Beast Alliance."

Upon Lu Chen's response, Chu Zhengyu showed a thoughtful expression, having also contemplated the same reason but still felt something amiss.

A Mortal Immortal, despite cultivating the Life Dao, due to his realm, the power of Dao he could wield is limited. No matter how potent his healing technique is, how much can it truly achieve?

Moreover, the Beast Alliance could not possibly only have this one person cultivating the Life Dao; with so many demon races, surely many among them cultivate the Life Dao.

Even if the Demon Race lacks those cultivating the Life Dao, some plant demons within the Demon Race could heal injuries through their innate divine ability, making it implausible for a Mortal Immortal to be chosen to accompany them into this small world.

While still curious about Lu Chen's true identity, Chu Zhengyu refrained from asking further, believing he would discover the truth upon exiting.

Regardless of who this person is or what special identity he holds among the Demon Race, stabilizing his vitality for now suffices.

After Lu Chen performed healing on Chu Zhengyu for a while, his Mortal Immortal realm struggled to maintain the effort. Soon, his ability to call upon life force reached its limit.

Seeing Lu Chen ceasing to supply life force and appearing worn out strengthened Chu Zhengyu's conviction that this person indeed possessed a special identity.

At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Senior, my life force is depleted, and I cannot continue to treat you without some recovery time."

Chu Zhengyu calmly responded, "No matter."

"You rest first; once your immortal power recuperates sufficiently, we shall depart from this forest."

Speaking thus, Chu Zhengyu closed his eyes, starting to meditate and adjust his breath.

Seeing this, Lu Chen asked no more and also started meditating to adjust his breath.

Meanwhile.

In a corner of the small world.

Xiyue Immortal Venerable stood atop a cliff, gazing at the distant mountains, with a grave expression.

This small world screens divine sense probing; only one's consciousness can explore the surrounding aura.

Finding Lu Chen and rendezvousing with him here might not be easy.

The law within this small world is so complete, its area seemingly vast, perhaps by the time she finds Lu Chen, his body might already be dead.

If only she had held Lu Chen's hand when coming in.

Now she can only hope he carries protective measures.

While Xiyue Immortal Venerable was distracted, a series of bell sounds suddenly echoed from afar, and immediately, heavenly ladders appeared in the sky.

This is…

Xiyue Immortal Venerable quickly regained focus and rushed towards the heavenly ladder.

Such anomalies in a small world suggest a treasure or inheritance might be emerging; upon witnessing this anomaly, immortals within the small world would likely converge towards its origin.

Lu Chen should also head there; perhaps she might find him under the heavenly ladder's anomaly.

At this point, most immortals inside the small world discovered the anomaly's presence, countless immortals surged towards the base of the heavenly ladder, seeking treasures or inheritance.

As Lu Chen was restoring his immortal power, upon hearing the bell sounds, he immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the sound.

Chu Zhengyu also opened his eyes at this moment, and Lu Chen directly asked, "Senior, have you ever heard such bell sounds inside the small world?"

Chu Zhengyu's brows furrowed with a hint of thought, "No."

Lu Chen continued, "Could it be some treasure or inheritance emerging?"

Chu Zhengyu shared this thought, yet his current physical condition was dire; the small world was inherently perilous, places of treasure or inheritance might be even more dangerous now. Venturing there might yield neither treasure nor inheritance, and instead risk one's life.

But…

Chu Zhengyu reconsidered, realizing numerous people would be drawn there, including members of the Nine Heavens Institute. If he could encounter a Nine Heavens Institute Immortal King, his safety would temporarily be secured.

Thinking thus, Chu Zhengyu directly told Lu Chen, "We must head towards the direction of the sound immediately."

Speaking thus, Chu Zhengyu gathered his strength, stood up from the ground, and proceeded towards the direction of the sound.
