Xiyue Immortal Emperor didn't concern herself with the affairs of the Southern Domain; the destruction of the Heavenly Splendor Hall was none of her business.

Right now, she only wanted to quickly break through to the Immortal Emperor First Heaven, so as not to have a significant cultivation gap with the Demon Emperor.

She had already sensed that the Demon Emperor seemed unable to control the Qi Fortune of the Tianyan Immortal Domain anymore. The Qi Fortune had dispersed and now required individual strength to contend for it.

The higher the cultivation state, the more concentrated the Qi Fortune becomes; the denser the Qi Fortune, the more it can enhance one's strength in turn.

To secure more Qi Fortune, she needed to continuously elevate her cultivation state.

Lu Chen said, "The Heavenly Splendor Hall plans to move to the Eastern Domain after their defeat."

Hearing this, Xiyue Immortal Emperor was slightly startled. She cast a spell to clear the mist in her eyes, then looked seriously at Lu Chen and asked, "To the Eastern Domain?"

Lu Chen went on, "Taihua Immortal Venerable asked me to inquire if you would agree."

Xiyue Immortal Emperor replied, "If I remember correctly, you have a vendetta against the Heavenly Splendor Hall, right? Why are you so kind as to broker a connection for them?"

Xiyue Immortal Emperor naturally knew about the past events between Lu Chen and the Heavenly Splendor Hall. Back then, the Hall, along with other forces, besieged Lu Chen, forcing him to retreat into the Chaotic Sea.

Even after Lu Chen emerged from the Chaotic Sea, the Heavenly Splendor Hall did not relent in pursuing him; there was a worldwide bounty on him. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Chen could construct the Holy Tier Array, the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array, the Heavenly Splendor Hall might still be chasing him to this day.

Xiyue Immortal Emperor didn't believe that Lu Chen harbored no animosity towards the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, then bent down so that his broad, strong chest was pressed against Xiyue Immortal Emperor's jade-like back, and said with his head on her fragrant shoulder, "Isn't it all for my lady?"

Upon hearing this, Xiyue Immortal Emperor coldly snorted, "For me? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Though she didn't know why Lu Chen was brokering for the Heavenly Splendor Hall, she didn't believe it was for her sake.

Lu Chen continued, "The Heavenly Splendor Hall has profound foundations. If they join the Eastern Domain, then all their resources will become part of the Tianxi Palace. Moreover, with so many Immortal Venerates, if they all become members of the Tianxi Palace, it will surely enrich the Qi Fortune of the Palace."

"As the Qi Fortune of the Tianxi Palace increases, your Qi Fortune as its master will rise too, making it easier for you to achieve a breakthrough."

"Isn't this for you?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiyue Immortal Emperor found them quite plausible. When did this rascal become so considerate?

Xiyue Immortal Emperor then asked, "What about your enmity?"

She still didn't believe Lu Chen could easily let go of his grudge.

Lu Chen continued, "I told Taihua Immortal Venerable that if they want to join the Eastern Domain, they must disband the Heavenly Splendor Hall and tell me who was behind the decision to attack me back then."

Hearing this, Xiyue Immortal Emperor chuckled; she knew Lu Chen wouldn't easily abandon his vengeance.

Disband the Heavenly Splendor Hall? That was indeed ruthless.

But if the Heavenly Splendor Hall truly moved to the Eastern Domain and disbanded, it would be good for both the Eastern Domain and her Tianxi Palace.

Lu Chen would have his revenge, and the strength of Tianxi Palace would increase too.

But, will the Heavenly Splendor Hall really come to the Eastern Domain in the end?

Xiyue Immortal Emperor asked, "But won't the Heavenly Splendor Hall come to the Eastern Domain only after a defeat? With you around, sealing the Blood Ancestor of the Blood Eagle Hall shouldn't be a problem."

Lu Chen had told her about the Blood Ancestor. If things were as Lu Chen guessed, and the Blood Ancestor was in a sealed state, then reinforcing the seal was much easier than sealing a whole new Immortal Emperor.

She believed Lu Chen and his colleagues should be able to seal the Blood Ancestor, unless Lu Chen switched sides at a critical moment and refused to help the Heavenly Splendor Hall inscribe the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array, in which case the Hall might be defeated.

Lu Chen said, "It's hard to say, that Blood Ancestor is from Outer Heaven. Even if he is currently in a semi-sealed state, sealing him won't be easy."

"Back then, Profound Moon Palace exerted all their Immortal Venerates to seal just a clone of him, and now the Heavenly Splendor Hall has to seal his true body, whose strength likely rivals that of an Immortal Emperor."

Lu Chen had no intention of switching sides, but he wasn't optimistic about the Heavenly Splendor Hall's prospects either.

To fully unleash the power of a Holy Tier Array, it requires someone with even more strength to activate it.

If it were an Immortal Emperor triggering the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array, sealing a wounded Immortal Emperor would likely be less difficult. But if a group of Immortal Venerates wanted to seal an Immortal Emperor, it wouldn't be easy as the power of the array is tied to the strength of the activators.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiyue Immortal Emperor fell into contemplation. If the Blood Ancestor's strength were similar to that of an Immortal Emperor, it would mean another competitor for her.

The Blood Ancestor might also vie for the Qi Fortune of the Tianyan Immortal Domain; it seemed she needed to hurry up and break through.

Thinking of this, Xiyue Immortal Emperor's red pupils glanced meaningfully at Lu Chen. They had been engaging in dual cultivation for so long, yet she hadn't shown any signs of breaking through.

Wait…

Xiyue Immortal Emperor's mind froze for a moment as she suddenly figured something out.

She seemed to understand why she hadn't been able to break through.

She was carrying a child, and this child was continuously absorbing her energy. With the child drawing upon her strength, it was only natural she couldn't break through.

Realizing this, Xiyue Immortal Emperor's jade-like face showed a trace of melancholy, not expecting her child to become an obstacle to her cultivation progress.

There seemed to be no solution to this; she couldn't possibly terminate the pregnancy, nor was there any way to hasten the child's birth.

Her belly wasn't showing yet, and the child hadn't developed fully, making premature birth impossible.

The higher a person's cultivation state, the more unique their offspring, requiring more time to develop.

But now that some of the Heavenly Dao rules of the Tianyan Immortal Domain were changing, it presented an opportunity for her. If her cultivation didn't advance, and other Immortal Emperors claimed all the Qi Fortune, enhancing her strength later might become challenging.

Bearing in mind that all of this was Lu Chen's fault, Xiyue Immortal Emperor couldn't help but glare fiercely at him.

If it weren't for this rascal getting her pregnant, she might have already broken through to the Immortal Emperor First Heaven.

Seeing Xiyue Immortal Emperor suddenly glaring at him, Lu Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiyue Immortal Emperor responded coldly, "Nothing."

Talking about this now was futile; what's done was done. She could only hope for the child to mature as soon as possible.

As for this rascal Lu Chen, he should continue to exert himself, attending to her needs.

Half a year later, the Heavenly Splendor Hall bet everything, unleashing all its resources to launch a full-scale attack on the Blood Eagle Hall.

Witnessing the ferocity of the Heavenly Splendor Hall, the various forces of the Southern Domain opted to adopt a wait-and-see approach; those originally aligned with the Blood Eagle Hall mostly remained inactive.

The Blood Eagle Hall, never very strong from the beginning, began suffering countless defeats over the following years without any resistance due to the lack of support from allied forces.
