631: The Empress's emotions, the Ten Thousand Dragons Assembly begins

Looking at the Empress's serious expression, Su Chen suddenly felt something was off. Why did it look like the Empress was being influenced by the Dao of Dual Cultivation?

Through his deep understanding of the Dao of Dual Cultivation during this period, Su Chen discovered that it didn't just simply enhance his charm; it created a sort of magnetic field. Within this range, women would instinctively be attracted to him.

It was just like how certain Yao Beasts would uncontrollably approach something they favored.

However, if a woman had already lost her virginity and her Yin Qi had leaked out, this magnetic field would vanish.

The Empress already has a child; she shouldn't be affected, right?

Su Chen's brow furrowed slightly; he felt this whole thing was truly bizarre.

Glancing at the exceptionally graceful Empress, the Dao of Dual Cultivation faintly stirred, as if urging Su Chen toward something, but he still suppressed the emotional fluctuations within his body.

The Empress's status was different; she was Li Qingyue's mother. If something happened between the two of them, wouldn't Li Qingyue be embarrassed to death?

Would mother and daughter directly become sisters?

Moreover, he had heard the Empress was incredibly proud; she likely wouldn't accept such a thing.

And Su Chen didn't know what he would do if the Empress really did deliver herself to his door. Would he accept or refuse?

Thoughts flashed through Su Chen's mind as he nodded with a smile: "Alright."

The Empress's motive for seeking out Su Chen was actually very simple: she felt Su Chen seemed very friendly toward the Nine Star Empire, likely due to Li Qingyue. If such a powerhouse could offer some protection to their Nine Star Empire, why would they need to fear Yao Beasts in the future?

For some reason, the Empress felt Su Chen's attitude was almost too good.

One had to remember that Su Chen was a powerhouse who had easily slain two Immortal Venerables. How could such a figure be so close and friendly to the Nine Star Empire?

In the Cultivation World, the disparity between the strong and the weak was immense; it was impossible for the strong to have such a good attitude toward the weak.

Was it all because of Li Qingyue?

If that were true, it meant Su Chen was a devoted man; otherwise, it would be impossible to go to such lengths.

Thinking of this, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up in the Empress's heart, as if something she liked had been snatched away by someone else. She didn't know why she felt this way.

The Empress said no more, only giving Su Chen a look filled with complex emotions. For some reason, this man gave her a very different feeling.

Almost all the men she had contacted in the past were self-centered. Even if they were willing to sacrifice for their women, they could never sacrifice this much.

At least, they couldn't do what was being done for Li Qingyue.

If it were a normal person with Su Chen's terrifying strength, a little girl like Li Qingyue would likely only be fit to be a maidservant.

Yet Su Chen's attitude toward the Imperial Family was that he would marry Li Qingyue. As for her status, that was unknown, but even as a concubine, it would be infinitely better than being a maidservant.

Furthermore, Su Chen had provided immense help to Li Qingyue in her cultivation.

Otherwise, with Li Qingyue's Aptitude, it would have been impossible to Breakthrough to the Immortal King level in such a short time. This cultivation speed was not at all inferior to her own back then.

The Empress sighed and turned to vanish... In the following time, Su Chen mostly stayed in the Imperial City, teaching Li Qingyue how to be a qualified monarch. With Su Chen's 'full' assistance, her strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and her Aptitude also saw significant improvement.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years passed.

The Myriad Dragon Convention was about to begin.

The final location for this convention was chosen to be in front of the Imperial City. For this Myriad Dragon Convention, the Imperial Family had even temporarily constructed a massive venue that could accommodate at least tens of millions of people.

The scale could be described as unprecedented.

However, with so many people, it would inevitably result in long distances, so only some powerful and reputable forces could personally witness the combat scenes. Everyone else could only watch battle projections.

The Su Family and the Haoran Sect were also among this group.

Leading the Su Family this time was Su Lan. She only brought three people, all at the Earth Immortal Realm. They were prodigies born into the Su Family over these years, and all three possessed Immortal Physiques. Under Su Lan's tutelage, their strength was incredibly formidable.

After these years of growth, Su Lan's strength had reached the Immortal Lord Late Stage, not far from being an Immortal Venerable.

She possessed the spatial insights given to her by Su Chen. She only needed to follow the steps to comprehend them. Her biggest Bottleneck was the effort required to comprehend, but compared to cultivating on her own, this was countless times simpler.

This was equivalent to the difference between fumbling around on your own and someone having already made the choices for you, requiring you only to execute them.

In her previous life, Su Lan was at the Immortal Emperor Perfection stage and had stored away countless resources, so breaking through was naturally very simple.

The party from the Haoran Sect also only brought five people. Among his three Disciples, only He Yao came. Li Meng'er and Ye Lingtian's strength could only be described as average, so they did not come to participate in the Myriad Dragon.

However, they did come as spectators.

Although the two were stronger than most Cultivators in the same Realm, it would likely still be difficult for them to distinguish themselves in this Myriad Dragon Convention.

After all, the Myriad Dragon Convention was a convention for the entire Nine Star Empire. The participants were a mixed bag, and there were even many powerful Cultivators who had been reincarnated into lower Realms. Their knowledge reserves and combat awareness completely exceeded those in the same Realm.

There were also many prodigies with terrifyingly high Aptitude.

Therefore, whether it was the Su Family or the Haoran Sect, the people they brought were all those with great strength within the same Realm.

Of course, the Haoran Sect's style was to be low-key—or rather, Qiudao Peak's style was low-key—so they only brought those below the Immortal King level to participate.

As for Cultivators above the Immortal King level, they were extremely rare, and no Cultivators above the Immortal King level participated at all.

Because this Myriad Dragon Convention was of extraordinary significance, there were quite a few Immortal King Cultivators who actively participated, nearly thirty people. They were of varying quality, and most were not from the Imperial Family; they wanted to use this opportunity to gain some favor with the Imperial Family.

In any case, the battles of Immortal King Cultivators certainly wouldn't be much to look at; they were just going through the motions. The main focus was still on the battles of those prodigies below the Immortal King level.

Su Chen naturally came to join in the fun, but he was just a spectator.

The Myriad Dragon Convention lasted for a very long time, a full three months. Aside from the first few days at the start, Su Chen was too lazy to go and watch afterward.

He did inquire a bit about He Yao's results.

The news he received made Su Chen quite satisfied; the ranking was very high.

Su Chen approved of this result. He didn't demand his Disciples take first place like others did. In Su Chen's view, as long as the results were decent, it was fine.

In the Cultivation World, the competition isn't about who shines the brightest, but about who lives longer and who burns the most steadily.

As for the three prodigies of the Su Family, their results were more or less the same, with relatively high rankings.

From this, one could see that the Nine Star Empire still had hidden dragons and crouching tigers; there were many experts.

Su Chen knew this from watching the Human Immortal Realm battles on the first day.

That scene...

It was truly ridiculous.

They were only Human Immortal Realm battles, but in reality, the top-ranked individuals could almost all exert the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. This had already surpassed the scope of a Prodigy.

Most of them had some sort of Golden Finger.

They were either Reincarnations cultivating again or had powerful experts guiding them from behind. In any case, ordinary Cultivators couldn't compete with them at all; the gap was simply too vast.

It only became slightly more normal from the Heavenly Immortal Realm onward...
