Chapter 2558 - 2248: How Could I Possibly Treat You as Cultivation Tools

Chu Yuqin thought to herself, with the Red Flower Sedan, Lu Chen just needs to infuriate Chu Yunzhi and force Chu Yunzhi to attack him, and the Red Flower Sedan will emerge to suppress Chu Yunzhi.

In this way, Lu Chen can do bad things to Chu Yunzhi.

But that’s without interference from other forces.

If an ancestor of the Emperor Realm from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land senses that Chu Yunzhi is in danger, they are likely to intervene to save him.

The Red Flower Sedan is only useful against the Ancestor of the Strange, and does not have any binding power over the natives of this world.

If a third party intervenes, Lu Chen will not be able to use the Red Flower Sedan for dual cultivation with Chu Yunzhi.

Chu Yuqin then said, "As long as you don’t go too far, those ancestors of the Emperor Realm won’t notice."

"You could try using gentle methods, don’t rely on the power of the Red Flower Sedan."

"Also, although I am on your side, I won’t get involved in such matters. Once we are at the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, how you pursue Yunzhi is your own business."

Chu Yuqin didn’t plan to interfere in the matters between Lu Chen and Chu Yunzhi. After all, she hadn’t helped restore Chu Yunzhi’s memory, which was already a big help to Lu Chen; she couldn’t possibly pin down Chu Yunzhi on the bed to help Lu Chen do such things.

How Lu Chen would strategize against Chu Yunzhi is something Lu Chen has to figure out himself.

But Chu Yuqin did not know that Lu Chen’s true purpose in going to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land was not to win over Chu Yunzhi, but to find the Memory Pearl.

If something happens to the Memory Pearl, the commotion might wake the Holy Land Ancestor who is currently in closed-door cultivation, and that’s what Lu Chen is truly worried about.

Lu Chen then asked, "I want to know how many ancestors of the Emperor Realm are in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Chu Yuqin replied, "I don’t know the exact number of Emperor Realm ancestors, but on the surface, there’s only one Emperor Realm ancestor."

"However, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land has a very long history, so it’s also very likely that there are ancestors who have already gone into death seclusion."

"Every Holy Land is like this; to be called a Holy Land, it has to have been established for tens of thousands of years."

"On the surface, these Holy Lands have at most one or two Emperor Realm powerhouses, but no one can say for sure if there are those who have been in death seclusion for ages; Emperor Realm powerhouses can seal themselves away and live for hundreds of thousands of years without issue."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

It seems like obtaining that Memory Pearl from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land won’t be easy, and it might even have to be given up to others.

If the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land has numerous ancestors at the Emperor Realm in seclusion, then when the Memory Pearl emerges, those powerhouses will likely immediately seal the entrance to the relic. Lu Chen wouldn’t even be able to enter, let alone search for the Memory Pearl.

The Memory Pearl will most likely end up in Chu Yuqin’s hands.

On the other hand, it would be better for Chu Yuqin to get it than for it to fall into others’ hands.

The movements when the Memory Pearl appears will be too big; even if he wanted to keep it hidden, he couldn’t, so might as well give it to Chu Yuqin.

Chu Yuqin is the Elder Yu Changqin of the Tianxuan Saint Sect, and when the Memory Pearl’s seal is lifted, even if the entrance is surrounded by the Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Tianxuan Saint Sect, she can still enter because of her identity.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at Chu Yuqin and said, "The next Memory Pearl to be unsealed will appear in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin was slightly taken aback. She wondered why Lu Chen suddenly asked about the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land; turns out he had deduced the location where the Memory Pearl will manifest.

As for how Lu Chen deduced this, Chu Yuqin didn’t care. Lu Chen had his own methods.

But since Lu Chen said it, it was likely true by eighty or ninety percent.

Chu Yuqin returned to her senses, showing a gentle smile on her face, then said, "I wondered why you suddenly asked me about the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land; you want to understand its strength and then snatch the Memory Pearl when it appears, right?"

Lu Chen did not deny, admitting, "I indeed had this thought, but now it seems, that Memory Pearl probably isn’t destined for me."

Then Lu Chen suddenly remembered something.

He changed the topic, saying, "Speaking of the Memory Pearl, I remembered a question."

"Is it possible to artificially control the unsealing of only a portion of the memory inside the Memory Pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin instantly saw through Lu Chen’s sly intentions.

Clearly, Lu Chen wanted the Ancestor of the Strange to only recover memories within the Burial Furnace.

If only the memories within the Burial Furnace were recovered, then without needing to do anything, Lu Chen could be reunited with the Ancestors of the Strange.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen’s shrewd calculations don’t hold.

Chu Yuqin immediately said, "The Memory Pearl retains a trace of the Ancestor’s divine soul. Once it contacts the Ancestor, the memory will completely restore, and no one can control it."

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s response, Lu Chen felt somewhat disappointed.

He thought he could manipulate the memory to reunite with the Ancestors of the Strange.

If he could use the Memory Pearl to help the Ancestors of the Strange recover part of their memories, then he wouldn’t need to develop a relationship with them; he’d just need to find the Memory Pearl and help them recover some memories.

Since this method doesn’t work, he’ll have to honestly forge alliances with them again.

Chu Yuqin then said, "You’re impatient and think about taking shortcuts; you really treat us as mere cultivation tools."

If Lu Chen truly had feelings for her, he wouldn’t contemplate shortcuts.

Chu Yuqin felt Lu Chen merely wanted to hasten dual cultivation with them to restore his strength.

If this was his true thought, then once he regained his strength, he might sever ties with them.

With this in mind, Chu Yuqin started doubting if she made the right choice standing by Lu Chen’s side, perhaps she shouldn’t support him.

Even though she had feelings for Lu Chen and wished for cooperation, Lu Chen was once the Great Emperor of a realm.

Letting the Ancestor of the Strange devour his vitality might also be a form of humiliation for Lu Chen, similar to how Lu Chen made the Ancestors of the Strange bear descendants for him.

The Great Emperor shall not be insulted.

Lu Chen hasn’t yet turned against them because these Ancestors of the Strange are still useful to him.

Once Lu Chen regains his abilities, his attitude towards the Ancestors of the Strange could change greatly.

Seeing Chu Yuqin’s serious tone and expression, Lu Chen quickly checked Chu Yuqin’s personal status.

Realizing Chu Yuqin misunderstood him, he moved closer, embraced her, and pinned her down on the bed, gazing into her eyes with a smile and said, "What are you saying? How could I treat you as mere cultivation tools? You are my wives, my couple, I just don’t want us to clash like swords against each other."

Chu Yuqin said, "If you weren’t the Great Emperor of the Spirit Realm, I might believe your words."

If they were in the Burial Furnace, Chu Yuqin might believe Lu Chen’s words.

But knowing Lu Chen’s identity, it became hard to trust that Lu Chen held true feelings.

Lu Chen then continued, "Alright, no more of this talk, since I’m already here, let’s handle proper business."

After saying this, Lu Chen leaned in and sealed the beautiful woman’s lips, his hand gently untied her sash.

Once Lu Chen kissed her, Chu Yuqin sighed inwardly; at this point, thinking over these things was pointless.

If Lu Chen truly changed his heart, she wouldn’t be able to stop it.

She just needed to ensure the Memory Pearl stayed under her control and didn’t let Lu Chen obtain Memory Pearls of other Ancestors of the Strange.

If someday Lu Chen really changes his heart, she will help the other Ancestors of the Strange retrieve their memories.
