Chapter 844 You Look a Bit Unhappy Today
Seeing that Lie Wende actually intended to compete with her for the Imperial Capital of the Empire, Nangong Yuehua's brows slightly furrowed.
This could not be, for if the Imperial Capital fell into that world, the Qi Fortune of that world would surely become incredibly dense.
She could not let the Lieyan World seize it, but Nangong Yuehua still harbored some worries in her heart, because she understood that the Lieyan World, being a mid-level Cultivation World, was more suitable to serve as the Imperial Capital of an Empire compared to the Ziyang World, which was a low-level Cultivation World.
Just as Nangong Yuehua was thinking about how to have Lu Chen establish the Imperial Capital in the Ziyang World, Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "I plan to set the Imperial Capital in the Tianchen World."
Hearing this, Nangong Yuehua immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Tianchen World has sparse Spiritual Energy and incomplete Laws, and is not suitable to serve as the Imperial Capital of an Empire."
Lu Chen said, "The Laws of the Tianchen World will soon be restored. You need not worry about this."
Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to have already made up his mind to build the Imperial Capital in the Tianchen World, Nangong Yuehua found it inappropriate to say anything further.
At that time, Lu Chen said, "After the Empire is established, I plan to bring all the Life Worlds surrounding the Chaotic Star Sea under the rule of the Daxia Dynasty."
Hearing this, the people were not surprised. Since an Empire had been established, it would be necessary to control a Star Domain, otherwise, what kind of Empire would it be?
At that moment, Lie Wende said, "Your Majesty, the Lieyan World is willing to expand territory for you!"
Being a puppet Emperor supported by Lu Chen, Lie Wende was firmly on Lu Chen's side. With just a word from Lu Chen, everything in the Lieyan World would serve him.
Just then, Nangong Yuehua also made her stance clear, "The Zixiao Dynasty obeys Your Majesty's orders!"
Unlike Lie Wende, Nangong Yuehua was merely an Emperor of the Zixiao Dynasty, and thus she could not represent the entire Ziyang World.
However, after Nangong Yuehua finished speaking, Nangong Qingya also stated, "The Cultivation World Alliance obeys Your Majesty's orders."
Lu Chen continued, "In these past two years, I have observed the worlds surrounding the Chaotic Star Sea. Most are low-level worlds with incomplete Laws, unlikely to have any powerful beings. However, just in case, I still plan to send someone to explore them."
"After the grand assembly ends, the representatives from the Lieyan and Ziyang Worlds should come to my study to take a look at the starmaps. Then, you'll each send people to explore those Life Worlds."
"Furthermore, I've discovered that the space in the Chaotic Star Sea is very unstable, often experiencing some space turbulence. If any power discovers space turbulence in the future, they must report it promptly."
Space turbulence was not a good thing for the Chaotic Star Sea, easily bringing some enemies. Initially, those people from the foggy areas of the Tianchen World had been brought over by space turbulence.
What troubled Lu Chen the most was space turbulence; if it brought along Cultivators of minor strength, it was still manageable, but he feared that space turbulence might bring troubles he couldn't handle.
Currently, he lacked the strength to resolve issues with space turbulence and could only strengthen precautions.
After discussing the matter of space turbulence, Lu Chen also spoke about various matters regarding the establishment of the Dynasty. Once the Three Realms Cultivators' assembly ended, the Daxia Dynasty immediately released an announcement, informing the three worlds about the establishment of the Empire.
Upon hearing of the establishment of an Empire, the first reaction of the common people was confusion, as most did not understand what an Empire entailed. To them, an Empire and a Dynasty seemed no different.
The ruler of a Dynasty is the Emperor, and the ruler of an Empire is also the Emperor, appearing as if only a word was changed.
However, those who understood what an Empire signified were profoundly shocked. In a place like the Chaotic Star Sea, the Sum Emperor dared to establish an Empire, displaying audaciously great courage.
Although everyone thought the Sum Emperor was a bit overconfident, they dared not say anything because of his formidable power. If he wanted to establish an empire, let him do it, especially since the Chaotic Star Sea was just a remote corner.
Nobody might notice an empire being formed in such a barbaric star domain.
Typically, empires were established in star domains abundantly rich in cultivation resources. Only then would the power of the empire be strong. Establishing an empire in this place was just like child's play.
After the Cultivators' Convention, Lu Chen returned to the harem in Black Dragon City, planning to visit Yun Xianxian's chamber to enjoy her tenderness. However, on his way to Yun Xianxian's chamber, Lu Chen passed by Liu Qingqiu's courtyard.
At that moment, Liu Qingqiu, dressed in azure robes, stood in the pavilion, gazing at the koi in the lotus pond, seemingly lost in thought.
Liu Qingqiu's figure was graceful and plump, her whole being exuded an dignified and noble aura. Just by seeing her silhouette, Lu Chen immediately felt an urge.
He was curious as to why Liu Qingqiu seemed to look forlorn. As her man, seeing her in low spirits, he naturally wanted to comfort her.
Lu Chen entered the courtyard without hesitation. Liu Qingqiu sensed his arrival instantly and turned to look at him. "Your Majesty, aren't you busy with important matters today? What brings you here?"
Now, Liu Qingqiu harbored no resistance towards Lu Chen. Although he had forcefully taken her, they were practically an old married couple by now. Besides, Lu Chen treated her well, so she harbored no resentment towards him anymore.
Lu Chen walked up behind Liu Qingqiu, wrapped his arms around her soft waist, hugging his body tightly against her buttocks, and then said, "You seem a bit unhappy today?"
"What happened?"
Hearing Lu Chen's question, Liu Qingqiu was slightly startled. Usually, when Lu Chen came here, it was only to seek pleasures with her. He rarely concerned himself with anything else.
She didn't expect Lu Chen to notice her troubled mind at a glance.
Seeing Liu Qingqiu not answering immediately, Lu Chen asked, "Could it be that you and Mu Yunxi are having a disagreement again?"
In the Tianchen World, probably only Mu Yunxi, her former ally, could make Liu Qingqiu angry.
They both enjoyed watching the other being tormented by Lu Chen to death and often mocked each other about it.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If she really provoked you, making you unhappy, I will summon her right now and sternly reprimand her in front of you."
Liu Qingqiu, of course, knew what kind of 'reprimand' Lu Chen meant. However, she spoke up at that moment, "Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with her this time."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly stunned. Nothing to do with Mu Yunxi?
What else could make Liu Qingqiu so somber? Ever since Lu Chen had cultivated a certain amount of affection with Liu Qingqiu, he had never seen such a heavy expression on her face.
Quickly, Lu Chen realized something.
He tentatively asked, "Did your main body discover you?"
Liu Qingqiu was just a powerful entity's avatar, something Lu Chen had long known. If it wasn't because of Mu Yunxi, it could only be her main body.
It surely couldn't be because he hadn't visited her recently. Like Yun Xianxian, Liu Qingqiu was a person focused on cultivation, generally content with physical intimacy just once a year. Lu Chen didn't believe it was because of his absence that Liu Qingqiu was this unhappy.
