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

Upon learning that Lu Chen had fallen out with Mu Hongguang, the disciples of the Linghu Sect sought every possible way to find Mu Hongguang, wishing to gain his support.

However, Mu Hongguang seemed to have vanished, not showing up at all, which left Meng Tian and the others growing impatient.

After some time had passed, Meng Tian finally heard of Mu Hongguang's whereabouts.

Ever since being expelled from the Taichu Academy by the Sum Emperor, Mu Hongguang had been in seclusion at a Taoist temple near Yan County.

Knowing Mu Hongguang's exact location, Meng Tian immediately led people to that Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple where Mu Hongguang resided was on the summit of a small mountain, surrounded by few people, utterly tranquil.

When Meng Tian and his companions reached the mountain's summit, all they could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

For some reason, Meng Tian felt that there was something amiss about this Taoist temple, but he didn't dwell on it and led his men straight into the temple.

The exterior of the Taoist temple was incredibly quiet, but there were quite a few Taoist priests inside. When they saw visitors arriving, a priest immediately came forward and asked, "I wonder what brings you fellow Taoists to this place?"

Meng Tian replied bluntly, "I'm here to find Mu Hongguang; I've heard he's staying at this temple."

Although Meng Tian was a cultivator in the Unity Realm, his realm wasn't as high as Mu Hongguang's. Still, he regarded Mu Hongguang as nothing more than a native of a lower world and had no respect for him, calling Mu Hongguang by his name outright.

Upon hearing Meng Tian's words, the welcoming priest immediately replied, "Please follow me."

After the priest spoke, he led Meng Tian and the others to the temple's backyard.

At that moment in the temple's backyard, beneath the old trees, sat a white-haired elderly man. Seeing this man, Meng Tian's eyes flickered with disdain.

To reach the Celestial status at such an old age was, in Meng Tian's eyes, a sign of incompetence.

If it weren't for the significant plan of the Linghu Sect, he wouldn't have bothered to win over an elderly Celestial. In the Linghu Sect, Celestials were a dime a dozen.

The "Mu Hongguang" sitting on the stone bench scanned the people in the courtyard, then spoke up, "Gentlemen, may I know what brings you to this humble one?"

Meng Tian, thinking nothing of it, sat down at the stone table where Mu Hongguang was seated and said, "Mu Hongguang, do you wish to break through to the Genesis Realm in your lifetime?"

As he said this, Meng Tian suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. People of the Tianchen Continent aren't aware of the Genesis Realm, only of Celestials."

Continuing, Meng Tian explained, "The Genesis Realm is an existence Above Celestials. To break through to the Genesis Realm would mean extending one's life by a thousand years is not a big issue."

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongguang smiled and said, "Are you jesting with this old man?"

Meng Tian, thinking Mu Hongguang didn't believe his words, replied somewhat impatiently, "That's why I dislike dealing with people from lower worlds, completely unable to understand anything."

Meng Tian went on, "I'll just tell you straight. We are not from this world; we come from the Misty World."

"In the Misty World, Celestials are not the most powerful; there are existences Above Celestials."

"As long as you are willing to stand with us, once the restrictions of the Misty World fade away, we can help you become a Genesis Realm powerhouse."

"There's only one chance. How you choose is up to you."

Mu Hongguang immediately frowned, pretending not to understand, and said, "Misty World? What place is that?"

Meng Tian continued to explain impatiently, "Isn't there a place on the westernmost side of your continent, shrouded in fog? That place is the Misty World."

"We are cultivators from the Misty World, hailing from the Linghu Sect. The Linghu Sect is one of the top superpowers in the Misty World. In our Linghu Sect, Celestials can be seen everywhere. Joining our Linghu Sect, you will have access to countless cultivation resources in the future."

Mu Hongguang continued to ask, "What are the conditions for an old man like me to join you all?"

"Seeing as you all are so powerful, why would you value an old Celestial like me?"

Meng Tian said, "You are quite cautious. You only need to side with us, and eliminate the Daxia Emperor. As for why we are recruiting you, it's mainly because you still hold some potential."

"Being able to cultivate to the Heavenly Human Realm in a world with such sparse Spiritual Energy is enough to prove your talent."

"I've said my piece, now make your choice. If you join the Linghu Sect, I have a great item to give you right now, something I believe you've never seen in your life."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chen, disguised as Mu Hongguang, became interested, "Oh, what is it?"

Meng Tian said, "As long as you agree to join the Linghu Sect right now, I'll give it to you immediately."

Lu Chen agreed without hesitation, "Good, I accept."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Meng Tian took out a stone emitting a blue light from inside his clothing.

As soon as the blue stone was produced, Lu Chen felt abundant Spiritual Energy. He understood instantly what it was—there was no need for Meng Tian to explain, he knew it was the Spirit Stone, the common currency in the Cultivation World.

Meng Tian then handed the Spirit Stone to Lu Chen and continued, "This is the common currency Spirit Stone in the Cultivation World. Not only can it be used for transactions, but it can also be absorbed."

"The Spiritual Energy in your low-level world is very thin. This Inferior Spirit Stone is enough to sustain your normal absorption of energy for a year."

After Lu Chen took the Spirit Stone, he immediately absorbed the Spiritual Energy inside it. His absorption speed was very fast, and in just a short time, he had absorbed the entire Spirit Stone.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tian was stunned. He hadn't expected a Celestial touching a Spirit Stone for the first time could absorb an entire stone so quickly.

At that moment, Lu Chen looked at Meng Tian and asked, "Do you have more Spirit Stones on you?"

Hearing this question, Meng Tian let out a cold chuckle and then said, "One Spirit Stone is enough. How many more do you want? When the time comes and the prohibitions of the Misty World are lifted, and the Linghu Sect arrives in this world, then you can take on Sect missions. You can earn as many Spirit Stones as you wish."

Lu Chen did not dwell on this issue any further. After a while, once he'd slaughtered these guys, he'd know whether they had more Spirit Stones on them or not. His most important task at the moment was to extract information from these people.

Lu Chen then asked, "Why do you all want to eliminate the Sum Emperor? Wouldn't it be better to make the Emperor your puppet?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Meng Tian paused, as if suddenly the door to a new world had been opened.

Indeed, why hadn't they negotiated directly with the Emperor, convincing him to pledge allegiance to the Linghu Sect? Wouldn't that mean that the Linghu Sect would effectively control Great Sum, with Great Sum becoming a vassal state to the Linghu Sect?

But Meng Tian quickly thought of a problem. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

He then said, "The Emperor's strength is relatively strong in this world. He might not willingly become a puppet of the Linghu Sect."
