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

With the continuous improvement of his Cultivation State, Lu Chen felt somewhat puzzled inwardly. Six months ago, he had spent most of his time in Dual Cultivation with his wives and concubines, and during that period, his Cultivation State had hardly improved.

Indeed, because the improvement from Dual Cultivation became negligible, that was why he had thought to isolate himself for solitary cultivation. Yet, after closing himself off for half a year, his Cultivation State had not improved at all. On the contrary, it was after the first Dual Cultivation session upon emerging that his Cultivation State had once again improved.

What was going on?

If Dual Cultivation could always enhance his Cultivation State, then shouldn't he have encountered no bottleneck six months ago?

As Lu Chen was lost in confusion, the system prompt sounded, "Over these years, the Host's Cultivation State has improved too quickly, which has caused it to become somewhat unstable and superficial. It's the reason why the Host's Cultivation State finds it difficult to make further progress. During this past half year, the Host has consolidated his foundation, which is why the speed of the Host's Cultivation State improvement has once again been restored."

Lu Chen suddenly saw the light; so that was the reason.

In that case, he could still consider Dual Cultivation as his main cultivation method in the future, but he needed to understand the importance of balancing work with rest and take breaks periodically.

Upon this realization, a slight excitement rose in Lu Chen's heart, and he immediately began to exert effort.

Mu Qinglan clearly felt Lu Chen becoming more excited at this time; luckily, as a Saint, she could still withstand Lu Chen's onslaught.

Time flew by, and a month had passed. Lu Chen and Mu Qinglan were still cultivating, and throughout this month, Lu Chen's Cultivation State had been steadily improving, albeit at a slow pace.

In order to break through to the Saint Realm as quickly as possible, Lu Chen had made up his mind: if he couldn't break through to the Saint Realm, he would just keep going like this.

Mu Qinglan looked fondly at this man who was taking advantage of her, not feeling any negative emotions at the moment. On the contrary, being able to help Lu Chen made Mu Qinglan very happy.

She finally had a day when she could help the Heavenly Emperor. When Lu Chen was the Heavenly Emperor, she had always wanted to stand by his side, to become someone useful to him.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen left too early, and before she could grow strong, he had already departed from the Imperial Mountain Star Region.

Now, at last, she could help the Heavenly Emperor. No matter what he did, she could endure it.

At this time, Mu Qinglan brushed away the messy strands of hair on her cheek, and with a smile, she praised, "Lan'er, you are truly beautiful."

Exhausted, Mu Qinglan huffed, "Huff... Thank... Thank Your Majesty."

Mu Qinglan then asked, "Your Majesty, how... how are you feeling now?"

Mu Qinglan still harbored some doubts about Lu Chen's desire to ascend to Saint in one step. She felt that Lu Chen wasn't trying to achieve instant Saintly ascension, but rather, he was using this breakthrough opportunity to continue to solidify his Cultivation State.

After a month of Dual Cultivation with Lu Chen, there didn't seem to be any significant change in his physique, while even she, a Saint, was almost at her limit.

Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill combined with Mysterious Female Technique, and on top of that, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Technique—all three Dual Cultivation Techniques were too much even for a Saint to handle.

These three Dual Cultivation Techniques complemented each other, with one technique guiding another, fully unleashing the effects of Dual Cultivation.

Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill allowed Mu Qinglan to immerse herself in the experience, enabling Lu Chen to take initiative and improve Mu Qinglan's strength.

The Mysterious Female Technique not only increased Mu Qinglan's strength but also made Lu Chen unable to extricate himself.

Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix allowed Mu Qinglan's Cultivation State to nourish Lu Chen's body and also allowed them to connect on a profound level. In such a state, they would continually cultivate non-stop.

The three grand Dual Cultivation Techniques turned their cultivation into a cycle, and within this cycle, their eyes held only each other.

Upon hearing Mu Qinglan's question, Lu Chen sensed the small world within his body and found that its growth had ceased, seeming to indicate another bottleneck in his cultivation had been reached.

Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder if he needed to rest for a while again, to balance work with rest?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly discovered some Origin Power emerging within his body. Lu Chen quickly sensed the source of this Origin Power and soon realized it came from Chu Yuqin's child world.

This must be the growth of Chu Yuqin's child world once more. Lu Chen didn't take it to heart; now that he had a trace of Origin Power, he could use it to continue his assault on the Saint Realm.

With this thought, Lu Chen hesitated no more. He bent down, laying atop Mu Qinglan, and began to stir the Origin Power within him for cultivation while resuming the pleasurable activity they had been engaged in.

As the Origin Power continuously purified Lu Chen's body, his internal world began to quiver. In a flash, under the pull of the Dao Charm from Mu Qinglan, Lu Chen's world within expanded violently, followed by a rapid expansion of his Sea of Consciousness.

Then countless Dao Charms spread out from Lu Chen's body, and in an instant, the entire Tianchen World was filled with a green Dao Charm.

When the cultivators of Tianchen World saw this Dao Charm, their bottlenecks loosened at this moment, and in a brief period, the overall strength of Tianchen's cultivators surged once again.

At this time, Mu Qinglan came back to her senses, looking at Lu Chen, who was still in motion, with surprise. She found it hard to believe that the Heavenly Emperor had actually made a breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

The Heavenly Emperor is truly worthy of his title, certainly not to be seen as an ordinary cultivator, but...

As Lu Chen's breakthrough manifested, their strengths now seemed infinitely close. Mu Qinglan found that even using the Mysterious Female Technique, she could no longer contain Lu Chen.

Mu Qinglan was unconvinced. She rallied her Spiritual Power all throughout her body, focusing it in her lower abdomen, and activated the Mysterious Female Technique once again. She refused to believe she couldn't control the Heavenly Emperor.

However, she quickly realized, no matter how she deployed the Mysterious Female Technique, the Heavenly Emperor still moved freely, beyond her capacity to constrain.

This...

Of course, Lu Chen noticed Mu Qinglan's subtlety and never anticipated that deep inside, she was a woman who wouldn't easily concede, daring to challenge him even after his breakthrough.

Then, Lu Chen slowly raised his chest, looking down from above at the affection-filled Mu Qinglan, "Lan'er, you're being naughty!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Qinglan's cheeks turned incredibly hot. Being in such an intimate position with Lu Chen, she had definitely exposed her full effort in utilizing the Mysterious Female Technique.

Mu Qinglan quickly responded, "I... I realize my mistake..."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Even if you realize your mistake, punishment is still necessary."

As he finished speaking, Lu Chen gathered all the Dao Charm he had been emitting back into himself, and then he began to confront Mu Qinglan with the might of a Saint.

At the same time.

Inside a chamber in Black Dragon City.

Empress Tianhong suddenly opened her eyes.

Empress Tianhong mused to herself, "He actually broke through just by relying on a woman, what path is this guy on?"

Although she too wouldn't take long to break through to become a Saint, she has a clear path, and unlike Lu Chen, she doesn't degrade herself, spending all her time reclining upon women.

She had always doubted whether Lu Chen, continuing on this path of degradation, could ever break through to the Saint Realm. And yet, it had not been long before he did.

What's key is that he actually made the breakthrough while in the midst of Dual Cultivation with Mu Qinglan, leaving Empress Tianhong somewhat perplexed. How could relying on a woman lead to transcending into a Saint?
