Chapter 349: Lu Chen's Test to Become a Celestial Being

Lu Chen talked a lot with Zhuge Chongguang in the study. Zhuge Chongguang's words also made Lu Chen realize that many things are not just what he wants.

When he appears in this world, he has already participated in the historical process of this world, and he will inevitably be forced to move forward by the wheel of history.

From the moment he took out firearms and manufactured various modern industrial products, even if he didn't want to start a war, he had to face it.

The world will force him to make a choice.

Lu Chen quickly figured it out. He had a system anyway.

Now that he has come to this world and obtained the system, it determines that he cannot be ordinary and is destined to do something great.

If he wants to live a stable life, it is easy. After he has eliminated all his enemies and breaks through to become a heavenly being, he will pass the throne to his son. Then he will live a stable life every day.

Lu Chen no longer thought about it. He returned to his desk and continued to deal with military affairs.

He didn't go to the front line at all in this battle. Although he was still a little worried, he was the prince after all, and he couldn't possibly do everything by himself as before. Not only this time, but also in future wars, he probably wouldn't be too involved.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly found that his body was emitting a golden light. Before Lu Chen could react, a golden light came out of his body and went straight into the sky.

The next moment, thick dark clouds appeared in the sky. When the people of Yancheng saw this scene, they instantly thought of the vision they had seen in the old city.

At first, they thought that the strange phenomenon was because Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the realm of heaven and man. Of course, people now know that this was not a vision of breaking through to the realm of heaven and man. But in any case, this also means that the North Kingdom has another big brother. Someone even more powerful than a grandmaster.

At this time, the women in the inner courtyard of the palace saw that the golden light was coming from the study, so they all went to the study to see who had made a breakthrough again.

At this time, Lu Chen entered a very mysterious state, and he felt as if he was integrated with the whole world.

After a while, Lu Chen seemed to hear a voice. The voice seemed to tell him that by unifying several dynasties, he could become a heavenly being.

Lu Chen was startled. Is this what Zhuge Chongguang called epiphany?

In other words, the test for him to become a heavenly being is to unify several dynasties?

Lu Chen thought for a long time, and then asked the system, "System, can't I break through and become a heavenly being through cultivation?"

[No, unifying several dynasties is also a system task. The host must complete this task before he can continue to improve his realm through practice. 】

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "Does this mean that my stagnation in the realm is only temporary? Once I pass this realm, I can practice with the original method again?"

【Yes. 】

Lu Chen thought to himself that he was indeed pushed by this world, and now he couldn't even start a war if he didn't want to.

After a while, the golden light on Lu Chen disappeared, and the vision above Yancheng quickly dissipated.

At this moment, the maid's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, Commander Qin wants to see you."

Lu Chen said calmly: "Come in."

Qin Yushan immediately opened the door and entered the study, "Meet the prince!"

After the ceremony, Qin Yushan took a look at Lu Chen. He also saw the golden light just now. Qin Yushan asked with concern: "My lord, are you okay?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "I am fine. I just realized something and made a breakthrough."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen looked at Qin Yushan and asked:

"Are there any recent developments in the capital?"

Qin Yushan is currently responsible for gathering intelligence in Daxia. If Qin Yushan comes to find him, it proves that something new has happened in Daxia.

Qin Yushan immediately handed the envelope in his hand to Lu Chen. At the same time, Qin Yushan began to report, "Recently, several vassal kings have been assassinated in Daxia. As soon as those vassal kings died, King Zhao immediately sent troops to occupy Their fiefdom encountered little resistance.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said calmly: "It seems that the great scholar has guessed correctly. This King Zhao may really be my father's chess piece."

Having said this, Lu Chen carefully looked at the information in his hand.

Seeing that the intelligence mentioned that the ancestors of Sifang Mountain and Dingfeng Mountain had entered the palace many times, Lu Chen thought in his mind that the two forces of Dingfeng Mountain and Sifang Mountain were responsible for the murder of the vassal kings.

I don't know what kind of benefits his father gave these two forces to get them to agree to cooperate with the royal family. These two forces are really strong, and they are not afraid that his father will come to kill them when the time comes.

Lu Chen then said to Qin Yushan calmly: "Continue to pay attention."

This kind of information was not very valuable to Lu Chen. He had basically guessed what his father wanted to do through Zhuge Chongguang's previous analysis, which was to eliminate all the vassal kings in Daxia and then complete the de facto unification.

As for whether his father can break through and become a heavenly being after the unification of Daxia, I am afraid that this will only be known in the future.

Qin Yushan saw that Lu Chen didn't seem to care about the news, so he said, "I'm resigning."

Qin Yushan then turned around and was about to leave the study. At this time, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, "By the way, pay more attention to the movements of the two ancestors of Sifang Mountain and Dingfeng Mountain. It would be best to find out where they went. and where they are going.”

"Especially pay attention to whether there are any suspicious Daxia caravans heading to Qi State recently, and then entering Beiguo through Qi State."

Now Dingfeng Mountain and Sifang Mountain have joined forces with Emperor Xia, and they are starting to eliminate the vassal kings of Daxia. Lu Chen suddenly thought that he is also a vassal king of Daxia. Although he is the son of Emperor Xia, for now, he is the biggest threat among all the vassal kings.

In addition, the disastrous defeat of Dawu this time has further highlighted the threat of Beiguo, so Lu Chen suspects that his father is likely to send someone to assassinate him.

There is no family affection between his father and him. Although Emperor Xia has never sent anyone to assassinate him before, in the past, Emperor Xia wished that others would kill him earlier. Whether Emperor Xia would send someone to assassinate him was also in Emperor Xia's mind.

Qin Yushan understood Lu Chen's meaning instantly, and he immediately said: "Yes, I will let the Jinyiwei keep an eye on the movements of the two."

Lu Chen said: "Don't keep an eye on them too closely. After all, they are pseudo-celestial beings. If you keep an eye on them too closely, it will be easy for people to find out that someone is monitoring them, and then it will be easy to alert the enemy."

"Okay, go and get busy."

Qin Yushan bowed again and said: "I'll take my leave!"

After Qin Yushan went to the study, Lu Chen thought to himself that he hoped his father would not really send someone to assassinate him. He was born with the blood of Emperor Xia.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Emperor Xia was also his biological father in this world.

If Emperor Xia really sent someone to assassinate him, he would have to fight back.

Lu Chen still didn't want to see the scene of father and son killing each other, which was easy to teach his children bad things.

Lu Chen is now a father, and he has begun to pay attention to the training of his children. He still understands the principle of teaching by example.

Just when Lu Chen was lost in thought, the maid's voice sounded again at the door, "Prince, the princess and the others are here."

Lu Chen came back to his senses. The noise just now was a bit loud. Now his wives and concubines were probably very worried. He immediately stood up and walked towards the door of the study.

As soon as Lu Chen walked out, Chu Yuqin came to Lu Chen and asked with concern: "Chen'er, are you okay?"

Lu Chen glanced at his wives and concubines and replied with a smile: "I'm fine. I just realized something and broke through."

Hearing this, the women were shocked. They subconsciously thought that Lu Chen had broken through to the heavenly man, but they soon reacted. They remembered the last time Zhuge Chongguang caused an abnormal phenomenon.

At this time, Xiao Wenyao whispered tentatively: "Prince, have you become a heavenly man?"

Xiao Wenyao's mind was relatively simple. She thought that Lu Chen had bullied her to death when he was still a grandmaster. If he became a heavenly man, she didn't know how terrifying Lu Chen's strength would become.

Staying in the palace every day, Xiao Wenyao, the pure white horse on the grassland, has been corrupted by Lu Chen, and always thinks of things between men and women first.

Lu Chen smiled, and he glanced at the women again, and the women looked at him expectantly.

Lu Chen then said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I haven't become a celestial being yet. It's not easy to become a celestial being. You need to pass the test of this world to become a celestial being. Now I can only be regarded as a pseudo-celestial being."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, the women felt a little sorry, they thought Lu Chen was already a celestial being.

At this time, Wang Qingci asked with a smile: "Your Highness, is there any difference between a pseudo-celestial being and a grandmaster?"

Lu Chen answered seriously: "Except for the improvement in strength, there seems to be no big difference."

Chu Yuqin said in confusion: "At least it has been improved to a higher level, how can there be no difference? Although it has not officially entered the celestial realm, it should also have some abilities that celestials have, right?"

At this time, Wang Qingci said charmingly: "Why don't you come to my room tonight, and I will help you see what the difference is between a pseudo-celestial being and a grandmaster."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin snorted coldly, "Fox spirit!"

They were talking about serious matters, but this foxy girl was thinking about doing that kind of thing with Lu Chen. What a shameless woman.

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen smiled and then said, "Okay, I'll go to your room tonight and check how much my physical fitness has improved."

Chu Yuqin rolled her eyes at Lu Chen and then said, "Since Chen'er, you're fine, we won't disturb you from handling government affairs."

Speaking of this, Chu Yuqin turned around and said to Mu Zixuan and the others, "Zixuan, let's go back."

Mu Zixuan glanced at Lu Chen and then said, "Your Majesty, since you're fine, let's go back to the inner courtyard first."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, okay."

Then the women turned around and returned to the inner courtyard. Before leaving, Wang Qingci threw a coquettish look at Lu Chen. Looking at Wang Qingci's twisting waist, Lu Chen chuckled, still so coquettish after having a child.

However, since Wang Qingci wanted to test her strength after becoming a pseudo-celestial being, he would fulfill her wish. He would go to Wang Qingci's room tonight and let her test it carefully.

After Chu Yuqin and the others left, Lu Chen returned to his room and sat down to continue handling military affairs.

About half an hour later, the maid's voice came from the door again.

"Your Majesty, Miss Murong wants to see you!"

Lu Chen was not surprised to hear this. Just now, such a large golden light appeared in the Northern Palace. Murong Xue'er, as an undercover sent by Emperor Yue to the Northern Kingdom, naturally wanted to find out the situation and see who had made a breakthrough again.

Lu Chen then said, "Come in."

The next moment, Murong Xueer, wearing a plain white dress, entered the room. Murong Xueer's hair was tied with a black and white headband, and the color of her clothes was also black and white. The monotonous color highlighted Murong Xueer's cold temperament.

Lu Chen just glanced at Murong Xueer and continued to deal with government affairs. Because of the golden light before, a big hole appeared on the roof of the study. At this time, the sunlight just shone in from the big hole and shone on the desk.

After seeing the big hole, Murong Xueer thought to herself that it seemed that the golden light just now was shining from the study.

At this time, Lu Chen asked without raising his head: "Miss Murong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing Lu Chen's tone so cold, Murong Xueer was stunned for a moment. Lu Chen was not like this some time ago. Every time she came, Lu Chen touched her as if he hadn't seen a woman for a long time. Why did Lu Chen suddenly become so serious today?

Could it be...

He is tired of it?

This made Murong Xueer feel a huge sense of crisis. Now she couldn't go back. If she didn't control Lu Chen, the empress would probably not trust her anymore. If she wanted to gain the trust of Emperor Yue again, she would have to get the cooperation of King Bei.

But if King Bei was tired of her body, he would definitely not help her. She would be abandoned by both sides in the end. Not only was she abandoned by Dayue, but she would also have no place to stand in the North Country.

Just when Murong Xueer was anxious, Lu Chen saw that Murong Xueer didn't speak. He looked up at Murong Xueer, then asked with a smile: "Why don't you speak?"

Murong Xueer came back to her senses at this time. She said expressionlessly: "I just saw a golden light appear in the palace, so I came to see what happened in the palace."

Lu Chen said: "You want to come to the palace to see who has broken through again?"

Although Lu Chen said the intention, Murong Xueer didn't take it to heart. Lu Chen has always been clear about her affairs. She can't hide any secrets in front of this man.

At this time, Murong Xueer looked up at the big hole on the roof, and then said: "It seems that your Northern Kingdom has gained another powerful person whose strength is close to that of a god."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "You are a little distant. What do you mean by your Northern Kingdom? You are now my woman, you should say our Northern Kingdom."

Murong Xueer said coldly: "It's just a deal between you and me, I will never be your woman."

Although she said so, Murong Xueer's feeling of depression disappeared instantly after hearing what Lu Chen said just now.

She thought Lu Chen was tired of playing, it seems that she was overthinking, it should be because the Northern Kingdom and Dawu are fighting recently, so Lu Chen has no mind on men and women, which makes him a little cold to her.

Lu Chen ignored Murong Xueer's words, he smiled and asked: "Do you want to know who just broke through?"

Hearing this, Murong Xueer's heart tightened, she stared at Lu Chen's handsome face, of course she wanted to know who broke through, after all, she came to get information.

However, Murong Xueer said at this time: "You shouldn't tell me."

A strong man with strength close to that of a god must be the trump card of the Northern Kingdom. As the King of the North, how could he expose his trump card so easily?

But just when Murong Xueer was thinking this, Lu Chen stood up from the stool and walked directly towards Murong Xueer.

Watching Murong Xueer approaching, Murong Xueer's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She now has all kinds of complicated requests for the man in front of her. If it weren't for this man, she would probably still be serving Emperor Yue in Dayue, and would not come to this place, let alone fall into this situation now.

At the same time, she was very scared. On the one hand, she was afraid that this man would mess with her, and on the other hand, she was afraid that this man had played with her and would abandon her directly in the future.

Murong Xueer's body was just trembling slightly, and Lu Chen didn't notice her abnormality. After Lu Chen walked in front of her, he said: "The person who broke through was me."

"This information should satisfy your Majesty."

Hearing this, Murong Xueer's brain shook slightly.

Lu Chen has made another breakthrough?

He was originally a grandmaster, and this time he broke through and had a strength close to that of a god, so wouldn't he be... even stronger?

For some reason, Murong Xueer suddenly had a scene of Lu Chen bullying her in her mind.

Murong Xueer quickly stopped herself from thinking about it.

Then she congratulated him in an emotionless tone, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your breakthrough."

Seeing Murong Xueer's cold tone, Lu Chen raised his hand and stroked Murong Xueer's cold face, saying, "Miss Murong, I gave you such an important piece of information, what do you plan to use in return?"

Murong Xueer didn't answer, but she had basically guessed what Lu Chen wanted to do.

Lu Chen continued, "By the way, Emperor Yue should have asked you to find a way to get firearms during this period, right?"

Hearing this question, Murong Xueer was startled, and sure enough, nothing could be hidden from Lu Chen.

Emperor Yue did give her an order to find a way to get firearms from the North Country, and it would be best if she could find a way to make them.

But Murong Xueer didn't believe that Lu Chen would give her such an important thing, so she didn't think that this task could be completed from the beginning.

The fact is exactly what Murong Xueer thought. Lu Chen could not possibly give Murong Xueer firearms and the methods of making firearms.

Murong Xueer said at this time: "If the prince does not practice calligraphy today, then I will go back."

Although her recent mission has been guessed by Lu Chen, Murong Xueer did not intend to admit it. Firearms are the core secrets of the Northern Kingdom. If she really took the initiative to ask Lu Chen, it is likely to cause Lu Chen's disgust with her, so she simply perfunctorily passed Lu Chen's question.
