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

Xiyue Immortal Venerable pondered for a moment, then said to Lu Chen, "I plan to go in again."

Although she speculated that the Great Power might not truly be dead, Xiyue Immortal Venerable trusted her intuition that there was definitely an opportunity for her within that small world.

Now that Tianyan Immortal Domain already had an Immortal Emperor, the Qi Fortune of Tianyan Immortal Domain was limited. The method of relying on Qi Fortune to ascend to emperorhood was no longer feasible, so she had to find another way.

She already had a different method to ascend, but if she wanted to break through and become a true Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, she still needed some opportunities. If she only relied purely on cultivation, she didn't know when she would successfully break through to become an Immortal Emperor.

Even though the small world was full of dangers, as long as there was an opportunity for her to transform into a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, it was worth the risk.

Seeing that Xiyue Immortal Venerable wanted to go in again, Lu Chen said, "Alright, I'll go in too. If we really encounter the residual soul of that Great Power, I'll immediately carve the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array."

After all, Xiyue Immortal Venerable was a woman who met the system's conditions, and Lu Chen couldn't just watch her take risks without reacting, he definitely needed to help.

Moreover, he could instantly sever the Divine Sense connection with that body, so even if there really was a residual soul of a Great Power wanting to destroy his Divine Soul, it would be an extremely difficult task.

As for reincarnating his body, his body was merely a Mortal Immortal body, so reincarnation wouldn't have any impact on him.

Subsequently, the two of them closed their eyes again, and soon, their consciousness returned to their clones.

When their consciousness returned to the clones, they found that the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea they had seen before had completely disappeared, and what appeared before their eyes was a magnificent palace.

The two immediately turned their heads to look around, but they didn't find any residual soul presence.

Xiyue Immortal Venerable once again tried to explore the palace with Divine Sense, but she still couldn't use Divine Sense to probe, so she couldn't find out what was inside the palace.

Xiyue Immortal Venerable then said to Lu Chen, "Let's go check out those palaces."

"Alright."

Afterward, the two walked towards the distant group of palaces.

At this time, the main road made of Xianjin leading to the palace emitted a golden glow, as if guiding the two of them.

Seeing the road radiating golden light, Xiyue Immortal Venerable and Lu Chen realized that there should be a spirit of some sort in this palace.

It could be a residual soul or an Artifact Spirit; anyway, something was controlling everything in this small world.

But this isn't surprising. Whether in secret realms or legacy places left by Great Powers, there are almost always residual souls or Artifact Spirits present.

Generally, when the legacy is taken away, the residual soul or Artifact Spirit will dissipate.

The two quickened their pace, following the golden-lit path into the palace.

The palace was vast, similar to those of the Immortal Sect, but Lu Chen and the others did not enter those palaces, they just kept advancing along the golden road below.

They walked for about a month before they reached the end of the golden road, where they were met with a grand and imposing palace.

On either side of the palace stood two golden statues over a hundred meters tall, one of a human, and the other seeming to resemble a phoenix.

Lu Chen and Xiyue Immortal Venerable stood at the entrance of the palace for a while and didn't step in immediately.

They had a premonition that there might be some danger inside the palace, and the entity behind the palace had clearly lured them deliberately.

After standing at the entrance for some time, Lu Chen said to Xiyue Immortal Venerable, "Do you want to go inside and take a look?"

Xiyue Immortal Venerable calmly said, "Since we're here, why not go?"

As the words fell, Xiyue Immortal Venerable took a step forward and walked directly towards the majestic palace in front of her.

Seeing Xiyue Immortal Venerable enter, Lu Chen followed suit. He was also very curious to know why the entity behind the palace wanted to lure them to this place.

Soon, the two entered the grand hall.

The entire hall was empty, devoid of any objects.

This...

Seeing the completely empty hall, the two were taken aback.

Had the entity behind the palace lured them here only to find nothing?

Why bring them here then?

To amuse them?

Lu Chen glanced around the grand hall, and soon discovered some runes carved into the columns of the hall, similar to the ones on the stele below the Heavenly Ladder.

A familiar sensation washed over him, as if he had seen those runes somewhere before.

At this moment, the runes on the columns emitted a dazzling light, and a silhouette of a phoenix gradually formed.

Seeing this phoenix silhouette, Xiyue Immortal Venerable and Lu Chen immediately became vigilant.

The next moment, the phoenix silhouette looked at the two and spoke in human voice, "I have finally awaited someone from my homeland!"

Hearing what the phoenix silhouette said, Lu Chen and Xiyue Immortal Venerable felt confused.

Someone from its homeland?

Who was the person from its homeland?

Lu Chen soon reacted, suspiciously looking at the phoenix residual soul in front of him, and couldn't help but speculate if what the phoenix referred to as someone from its homeland was himself.

After all, during the Heavenly Ladder, only he received a hint, and those pillar runes obviously resonated with him, activating subsequently, and then this phoenix residual soul formed.

At this time, Lu Chen asked directly, "Who are you?"

The phoenix residual soul observed Lu Chen and then said in disbelief, "A... Mortal Immortal???"

"Why are you only at the Mortal Immortal Cultivation State???"

Seeing the phoenix residual soul's incredulous expression, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "This small world only prohibits Immortal Venerables from entering, not those below the Immortal Venerable Cultivation. My cultivation is below Immortal Venerate, so why can't I come in?"

The phoenix residual soul fell into contemplation, seemingly pondering something.

At this moment, Lu Chen and Xiyue Immortal Venerable simultaneously turned, glancing at each other with their peripheral vision. Then Xiyue Immortal Venerable spoke via divine transmission, "Do you know it?"

The phoenix residual soul clearly paid more attention to Lu Chen, so Xiyue Immortal Venerable suspected that it might have known him.

Lu Chen replied, "It's my first time entering this small world, and my first time seeing it, how could I possibly know it?"

Xiyue Immortal Venerable didn't ask further. She turned back to the phoenix residual soul in front of her, watching it with caution for any potential actions.

After some time, the phoenix residual soul finally spoke, "Alas, nevermind, just meeting one from my homeland is already hard enough."

Lu Chen then asked directly, "Do you mean to say that I and you come from the same place?"

The phoenix said, "Yes, we are both Outer Heaven persons."

"To be precise, we come from a place called the Spirit Realm."

Hearing this, Lu Chen wasn't too surprised; he'd long suspected that his identity was more than just a native of the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

Lu Chen then said, "How do you confirm that I and you come from the same place?"
