Chapter 1201: Doesn't Building Master Xuan think this is a great opportunity?
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the Great Emperors in the hall believed that they too should enter the Outer Domain to compete for opportunities; they did not doubt the authenticity of this information.
The reason is quite simple. There are already many powerful beings outside the domain who do not belong to the Outer Domain, nor do they belong to this universe. Most likely, they come from another universe.
Since those extraterrestrial powerhouses can enter the Outer Domain, it's natural that other universe's treasures can also appear in the Outer Domain.
If there are indeed treasures of the Heavenly Emperor, these treasures absolutely cannot be given to others, even though the record passed down from the Ancient Era, stating "only one Heavenly Emperor can be born in a universe", has never been verified.
However, better safe than sorry; if that record is true, and the treasures needed to break through to become the Heavenly Emperor fall into the hands of other Great Emperors, who then become Great Emperors themselves, what would Lu Chen, the Emperor Xia, do?
Therefore, under any circumstances, those treasures that can help the Ninth Layer Great Emperor take that step cannot fall into the hands of other forces in this universe.
After the Great Emperors in the hall discussed for a while, Lu Chen spoke again, "If there really exist Magic Treasures that can make the Ninth Layer Great Emperor breakthrough to become the Heavenly Emperor, they naturally cannot fall into other people's hands, so I have decided to lead people to the Outer Domain."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Great Emperors in the hall all expressed their agreement. Such important things must be fought for. It concerns the dispute for the Heavenly Emperor and whether they can have greater assurance of surviving the Era Tribulation in the future.
Lu Chen then changed the subject, "However, when it comes to the current situation of the Daxia Dynasty, I'm still a bit uneasy."
"Moreover, I feel that this trip to the Outer Domain presents a perfect expansion opportunity for the Daxia Dynasty."
Hearing these words of Lu Chen, the Great Emperors present instantly understood what Lu Chen meant.
If the top forces of the Central Star Domain all head to the Outer Domain to seek opportunities, it indeed offers a perfect expansion opportunity for the Daxia Dynasty.
By then, there won't be many powerhouses left in this universe. Those empires slightly weaker in strength, upon seeing the aggressive approach of the Daxia Dynasty, are likely to surrender immediately.
Lu Chen continued, "The priority for the next period is to continue expanding outward, increase our number of Great Emperors, and enhance the Dynast Qi Fortune."
Upon Lu Chen's command, the Great Emperors in the hall all responded in unison, "We respectfully follow the imperial decree!!"
As soon as Lu Chen's order was issued, the War Dragon Army of the Daxia Dynasty immediately took action, continuing to expand outward.
The Shenyue Dynasty and Tianji Pavilion have been continuously monitoring the movements of the Daxia Dynasty, as they wish to know whether Lu Chen has fallen for the bait.
Tianji Pavilion, Heavenly Mechanism Peak.
Xuan Tian sat in the pavilion, leisurely savoring the tea in his hand.
At this moment, three Great Emperor apparitions appeared outside the pavilion: the clones of the Nirvana Master, Emperor Shenwu, and the Life-saving Empress.
After the clones of the three appeared, they noticed Xuan Tian leisurely drinking tea, their brows immediately furrowed, and Emperor Shenwu said, "Building Master Xuan, it seems your plan might be unreliable; my rebellious child doesn't seem to have been fooled."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Tian smiled lightly and said, "Who said he wasn't fooled?"
Emperor Shenwu continued, "Now the Daxia Dynasty's army is expanding everywhere; if they were fooled, would they be launching wars at this time?"
Logically, if Lu Chen were fooled, he should quickly gather the Great Emperors to prepare to follow behind the Great Emperors of the Central Star Domain and head to the Outer Domain, rather than, as he is now, sending those Great Emperors out to start wars everywhere.
This indicates that Lu Chen very likely hasn't put any weight on the news of treasures in the Outer Domain.
Xuan Tian said lightly, "Don't be anxious, as I see it, he is indeed starting wars now precisely because he believes the rumor."
The Life-saving Empress asked, "Why is that?"
Before Xuan Tian could speak, the Nirvana Master responded first, "He wants to seize more territory while the top forces of the Central Star Domain focus on the Outer Domain, thereby enhancing the Daxia Dynasty's Qi Fortune, and when they head to the Outer Domain, the number of Great Emperors in the Daxia Dynasty will also increase accordingly."
On the path of Daxia Dynasty's outward expansion, they will inevitably recruit more Great Emperors to join the Daxia Dynasty. Based on the current intelligence, there are two Great Emperors in the Daxia Dynasty who prove the way through slaughter.
One Slaughter Emperor is an Empress, and the other is Lu Chen himself, but seldom do either of them engage in wanton killing. As long as the Great Emperors surrender, they are basically absorbed into the Daxia Dynasty.
From this perspective, the purpose of Daxia Dynasty's outward wars is markedly different from that of Emperor Shenwu, who wages wars merely to enhance his own strength and take that step.
In contrast, Lu Chen aims for strengthening the overall power of the Daxia Dynasty. This shows that the primary goal of Lu Chen's prompt outward warfare now is to attract more Great Emperors to join the Daxia Dynasty.
Upon hearing the Nirvana Master's words, both the Life-saving Empress and Emperor Shenwu came to realization.
Emperor Shenwu sneered, "It seems this rebel's ambition might be greater than mine!"
Xuan Tian took a light sip of the tea in his hand and then said, "Since the fish has bitten the bait, we should also start preparations."
As soon as Lu Chen's true form emerges from the Daxia Dynasty, he will immediately send the entire Daxia Dynasty out of this universe. Without the protection of that Immortal Artifact, Lu Chen will be forced into reincarnating within his body like countless epochs before, until his Divine Soul Power is completely dissipated and refined.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xuan Tian's mouth lifted slightly; by this era, he sensed Lu Chen's Divine Soul Power should be nearing its limit.
Upon hearing Xuan Tian's words, the Life-saving Empress hesitated not in the slightest, "Very well, I shall go prepare now."
As her voice fell, the clone of the Life-saving Empress instantaneously vanished; after her departure, the Nirvana Master also left, leaving only Emperor Shenwu and Xuan Tian atop the peak.
Seeing Emperor Shenwu yet lingering, Xuan Tian asked, "Do you have more to say?"
Emperor Shenwu replied devoid of expression, "Doesn't Building Master Xuan see this as a golden opportunity?"
Xuan Tian questioned in confusion, "Opportunity for what?"
Emperor Shenwu continued, "An opportunity to deal with those ancient Holy Lands of the Central Star Domain."
This news has not only piqued Lu Chen but also grabbed the attention of those old Holy Lands, and surely many Holy Land Masters will proceed to the Outer Domain soon.
Ordinarily, those ancient beings hide within their Holy Lands, making it challenging to eliminate them; their ancient Holy Lands are equipped with various formidable Great Arrays, whose power is frightening. Even Emperor Shenwu dares not assault those ancient Holy Lands lightly.
However, if those Holy Lands' Masters venture out, it becomes a game changer.
