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

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback—it turned out to be so. It seemed that the Leader of the Taiyin Sect must have been at least in the Celestial Realm before his death.

Seeing Lu Chen fall into silence, Xue Linglong spoke up, "Your Majesty, are you suddenly inquiring about the Leader of the Taiyin Sect because you're planning to take action against the Taiyin Divine Sect?"

Lu Chen came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."

Hearing Lu Chen's nonchalant reply, Xue Linglong pretended to look pitiful and said, "Ying ying ying, Your Majesty still doesn't trust this concubine."

Seeing Xue Linglong act pitiful, Lu Chen slapped her bottom and said with a smile, "I've been quite hot-tempered these past few days."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xue Linglong immediately dropped her act and quickly said, "Your Majesty, it might not be easy to eradicate the Taiyin Divine Sect."

Lu Chen asked, "Why is that?"

Xue Linglong replied, "The Leader of the Taiyin Sect is a very cautious person. If he senses something amiss, he will immediately hide away the Taiyin Divine Sect, and finding them will not be an easy task."

Xue Linglong was originally a member of the Taiyin Divine Sect, so she had a fair understanding of the sect's ways.

Hearing Xue Linglong's reminder, Lu Chen thought for a moment.

If the people from the Taiyin Divine Sect hid themselves away, it might indeed not be easy to find them. Lu Chen then asked Xue Linglong, "Is there any way to distinguish Demon Sect members from ordinary people?"

Xue Linglong replied, "I'm afraid not."

"If it's those Demon Sect members who have killed a lot, their aura of blood is very heavy, and those people are easy to distinguish."

"However, those who kill a lot are not necessarily from the Demon Sect—as some major powers also take lives recklessly, and their aura of blood is equally heavy."

"Additionally, some elders in the Taiyin Divine Sect can suppress their aura of blood through certain methods, making the aura of blood on their bodies seem lighter than that of a butcher."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fell into thought again. If that was the case, once the Taiyin Divine Sect went into hiding, it would indeed be difficult to locate them.

At that moment, Lu Chen's hand suddenly reached under Xue Linglong's skirt. Xue Linglong was about to cry out instinctively but quickly held it back.

She didn't want to provoke this bad element.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xue Linglong continued, "Right, Your Majesty, I heard that by cultivating the Taiyin True Scripture, one could sense the location of all disciples of the Taiyin Divine Sect."

Hmm?

Lu Chen, coming to his senses, curiously asked, "Is that so miraculous?"

Xue Linglong continued, "However, the Taiyin True Scripture is not easy to cultivate. After the Leader of the Taiyin Sect passed down the Taiyin True Scripture to us, not a single one in the whole Taiyin Divine Sect has managed to cultivate to the second layer."

Curious, Lu Chen asked, "If no one has cultivated to the second layer, does that mean someone has cultivated to the first?"

Xue Linglong replied, "A few elders have cultivated to the first layer, and after dual-cultivating with Your Majesty, this concubine also managed to quickly reach the first layer."

"Since you have already cultivated to the first layer, can you determine the location of the others?"

Xue Linglong answered, "No, one must at least cultivate to the third layer to use the Taiyin True Scripture to determine the location of the other disciples."

After hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a while before saying, "Show me this Taiyin True Scripture of yours."

As the words fell, Lu Chen raised his hand, and writing materials flew towards Xue Linglong in her room. She took the pen and began writing on the paper.

Soon the mantra of the Taiyin True Scripture was written on the paper. Lu Chen scanned the mantra on the paper, about to say something, when the system prompt sounded.

[Detecting incomplete skill. Do you wish to incorporate it?]

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. An incomplete skill?

The Taiyin True Scripture was incomplete?

Lu Chen then said to the system, "Incorporate!"

The next moment, the content of the Taiyin True Scripture merged into Lu Chen's brain, and he knew how to cultivate this technique.

However, Lu Chen did not start cultivating.

He suspected that the Sect Hierarch of the Taiyin Sect had deliberately given only the first layer of the Taiyin True Scripture to the sect's disciples, so no matter how the disciples of the Taiyin Divine Sect cultivated, they could only reach the first layer.

That way, the Sect Hierarch of the Taiyin Sect could determine the location of those disciples through the Taiyin True Scripture without worrying about the disciples using it to determine his position in return.

Such crafty calculations!

Just then, the system prompt sounded again.

[Detection of the Taiyin True Scripture's potential for repair.]

Hearing the prompt, Lu Chen was slightly startled. His system had the ability to repair incomplete skills?

Confused, Lu Chen asked internally, "I thought the reward was for having children. You can repair skills too?"

[The host only needs to perform actions related to progeny. Any collected incomplete skills can be repaired.]

Lu Chen was momentarily stunned. Could it really work like that?

At that moment, Lu Chen's gaze fell upon Xue Linglong's graceful and delicate figure.

Since the system had said that matters related to procreation could repair an incomplete skill, he decided to give it a try.

Seeing Lu Chen stare at her with such intensity, Xue Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and her body trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at your servant like that?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I suddenly realize that tonight, you seem even more enchanting than usual."

Xue Linglong was taken aback for a moment, but before she could say anything, Lu Chen pressed her down onto the bed and sealed her soft, red lips with his.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

After a slight struggle, Xue Linglong gave in and let Lu Chen have his way.

While kissing Xue Linglong, Lu Chen glanced at the system interface out of the corner of his eye.

[Taiyin True Scripture repairing... 15%... 16%... 17%...]

Seeing this, Lu Chen thought to himself that it really could be repaired, and if just a kiss could do so much, then more intimate acts might restore it even faster.

With this thought, Lu Chen's hand forcefully tore away the black gauze dress, Xue Linglong's favorite, ruining it.

Xue Linglong felt somewhat helpless; she had the North Prince Mansion send her many black gauze dresses, all of which Lu Chen had ravaged.

Two hours later.

Lu Chen, embracing Xue Linglong, looked at the system interface.

Seeing that Lu Chen hadn't continued, Xue Linglong was puzzled. Why was he showing mercy today?

That shouldn't be the case.

In the past, this man would never stop until she begged for mercy.

At that moment, Lu Chen's system interface displayed [Taiyin True Scripture has been completely repaired].

Lu Chen then addressed the system, "This skill shouldn't have any negative effects on me, right? Am I able to cultivate it?"

[There are no negative effects. Host simply needs to integrate the skill into the cultivation technique interface to cultivate it alongside other skills.]

Upon hearing the system's response, Lu Chen immediately added the Taiyin True Scripture to the [Cultivation Technique] section.

Then, Xue Linglong, noticing something off about Lu Chen, found it strange that he had stopped and went silent, as if he was lost in thought.

Curious, Xue Linglong asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Was your servant not to your satisfaction?"

Hearing Xue Linglong's voice, Lu Chen came back to reality and flipped her body over to continue his misdeeds.

Xue Linglong suddenly regretted her impulsive question. Why bother asking this scoundrel anything at all? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

As time passed second by second, Lu Chen realized the Taiyin True Scripture's content was engraving itself in his mind.

Soon, a white point appeared in Lu Chen's mind, right in front of him, and beneath him.

Lu Chen couldn't help but think, was this the perceptive power of the Taiyin True Scripture?

Then, Lu Chen released his perceptive force, and soon it spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace. At that moment, he noticed another white point outside the palace.

Lu Chen frowned. It seemed the Taiyin Divine Sect had sent spies to the Capital City, and that spy was too close to the Imperial Palace.

At this time, Xue Linglong seemed to realize something too; she felt as if an antennae in her head had linked directly to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen also discovered the function of the Taiyin True Scripture, as a mass of black energy manically surged towards him from Xue Linglong.

As the black energy was siphoned off, Xue Linglong felt immense pain. Sensing that something was wrong, Lu Chen promptly stopped circulating the Taiyin True Scripture and used the Rejuvenating Skill to treat her.

Under Lu Chen's treatment, Xue Linglong quickly returned to normal and started to cry again. Experience more content on empire

Lu Chen sneered to himself, realizing that the creator of the Taiyin True Scripture intended to extract the spiritual force from its followers to enhance their own power.

In true nefarious cultivator fashion, it was indeed evil.

The Taiyin True Scripture was divided into two parts; cultivating only part of the scripture would turn one into nourishment, and those who possessed the complete scripture could enhance their power by absorbing the spiritual force of those "nourishments."

Lu Chen thought to himself, wondering if the Leader of the Taiyin Sect possessed the complete Taiyin True Scripture. If even the Leader didn't have the full scripture, then he could absorb the Leader's spiritual force.

Then, Lu Chen started circulating the Taiyin True Scripture once again, sensing the Taiyin Sect followers near the Imperial Palace.

Currently at the Pseudo Celestial Realm, his perceptive power was limited. Although the Taiyin True Scripture could pinpoint the location of "nourishments," it could only determine the positions of Taiyin Sect followers within his perceptive range; if they were too far away, beyond his range, he couldn't identify their hiding spots.

His limited cultivation state was frustrating.

Lu Chen firmly resolved that he needed to unify the world quickly and break through to the Celestial Realm as soon as possible.

Only by breaking through to the Celestial Realm could his power leap forward even more significantly.

With that thought, Lu Chen's inner passion grew hotter, and his actions became even more rough.
