Chapter 369 Kuratama Dragon Palace
Gu Yuchuan was actually quite excited when he saw the two of them together. In his previous life, he had witnessed far too many struggles between women. He didn't consider himself some kind of invincible hero who could have all the women around him living in harmony; that was completely impossible.
They married Gu Yuchuan either for their own cultivation or for the power behind them; they were all vying for it. The resources of the entire Cangzhu River are limited; if one person takes more, another will naturally take less—that's for sure. No one will be content with having a smaller share. Even if they themselves are willing to be inferior to others, they won't be content with their children being inferior to others' children. Therefore, he could predict that these people wouldn't be at peace.
This is only the current situation with only two wives and concubines. It will be even more difficult to manage when there are more. Therefore, it is very necessary to marry a demon emperor as a wife. Only with her keeping an eye on things will the situation improve.
However, seeing their harmonious situation, Gu Yuchuan was somewhat dumbfounded. Indeed, Mo Nan'an hadn't married into the family yet. It wasn't the time to establish authority. As for Jianjia, although she held the reins of the eldest princess, her cultivation was low. Furthermore, Gu Yuchuan had already decided Mo Nan'an's rank as a concubine, so she was definitely of lower status and naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble. This was why they were maintaining their current peace.
"You two seem to be having a very good chat."
Jianjia walked to Gu Yuchuan's side and took his arm: "Your Majesty is so lucky. Such a beautiful senior has now entered Your Majesty's harem."
While she appeared to be speaking to Gu Yuchuan, she was actually demonstrating to Mo Nan'an that she and Gu Yuchuan shared a relationship. However, Mo Nan'an's expression remained unchanged. He knew perfectly well that Jianjia was nothing more than a woman sent up by a subordinate with no real power or influence. Her cultivation and aptitude were mediocre, neither exceptional nor inferior, posing absolutely no threat to him. As for their past relationship, it was far from enough for Gu Yuchuan to ignore her.
Jianjia's actions did not elicit the slightest change in the other party's expression, leaving her somewhat at a loss. It's no wonder that Mo Nan'an didn't consider Jianjia a rival; their desires were completely different. Mo Nan'an wanted status, power, the future fortune of the dynasty, and the possibility of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. However, all Jianjia wanted now was favor. She hadn't completely changed her attitude yet. If she couldn't change quickly, even if she occupied a high position, she would fall behind in the future.
Mo Nan'an didn't speak to Jianjia anymore: "Your Majesty, I'll be leaving now. I have things to do at home. I need to prepare for my marriage. The Demon Lord's idea is that when you perform the sacrificial ceremony to establish the dynasty, you can just marry me and confer a title upon me directly. The two ceremonies can be combined into one, which will be convenient for both of us. I'll wait at home for you to come and marry me."
He was poised and confident, showing no shyness even when discussing matters of marriage. Gu Yuchuan nodded in agreement: "Alright, just wait at home. I won't mistreat you in the slightest. I'll prepare everything for the wedding."
After he finished speaking, Mo Nan'an walked away without even turning back to give Jianjia a glance. The main reason she came today was to meet Jianjia. Now that she was certain that Jianjia was not qualified to be her rival, she was naturally happy. She knew that an emperor of a dynasty would have too many concubines. She wanted to take advantage of the early morning to secure her position and see if she could advance further. She had always been an ambitious woman.
After Mo Nan'an left, the house fell silent again. Jianjia was a little anxious and lured Gu Yuchuan to her room for the night. She desperately wanted another child to solidify her position in the future. However, she overlooked one thing: this was a world of cultivation, where any status came from only one thing—strength. Her status came from a child with the bloodline of a low-grade exotic beast, not from the child itself.
The next day, Gu Yuchuan got up very early. The establishment of the Cangzhujiang Dragon Palace was indeed on the agenda. After arranging things at home, he set off. Ten days later, he appeared in the core area of Cangzhujiang. This place had long been sealed off by him, and there was no living being here. Beneath this place, there was a fourth-order spiritual vein. This level of spiritual vein could even increase the cultivation speed of all cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage by 70%, which was practically the same as doubling it.
Spiritual veins are the most important core assets of a power. Only with spiritual veins can there be a concentration of spiritual energy. A first-level spiritual vein can increase the cultivation speed of Qi Refining cultivators by 10%, a second-level spiritual vein by 30% for Foundation Establishment cultivators and below, and a third-level spiritual vein by 50% for Golden Core cultivators and below. Currently, there are only three fifth-level spiritual veins in the Azure Cloud Realm, located in the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace, the Imperial City of the Great Yong Dynasty, and Dragon Tiger Mountain, which can increase the cultivation speed of Nascent Soul cultivators by 100%.
This is why the fox spirit has always lived in the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace. She needs this spiritual vein, and the difference of two times is even more useful than hundreds of years of hard cultivation in the context of such a long lifespan. How could she miss out on this?
Gu Yuchuan felt increasingly happy as he sensed the spiritual vein below. The Flood Dragon Palace only had a second-grade spiritual vein, but now that he had this one, everything was different. He believed that his subordinates' cultivation would also increase rapidly. Even a mortal beast could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage by cultivating on a fourth-grade spiritual vein. This was why major powers did not lack mid- to low-level cultivators.
In places where cultivation might be impossible even in the outside world, the blessing of such a spiritual vein allows one to even reach the Foundation Establishment stage. This is the confidence of a powerful force. Here, one's aptitude can be developed to its limit, far surpassing that of rogue cultivators outside. The idea of reaching Foundation Establishment in one year, Golden Core in ten years, or Nascent Soul in fifty years can only occur in powerful forces. Without the support of a spiritual vein, it would be impossible.
After Gu Yuchuan finished looking around, he went to the nearest city. The construction of the Dragon Palace required a large number of craftsmen, and even many low-level cultivators, in order to build the Dragon Palace quickly. He really didn't want to delay any longer and had to build the Dragon Palace quickly to establish his own dynasty.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably. This was to be expected, after all, he was already a high-level cultivator. He believed that with the luck of the dynasty and this fourth-tier spiritual vein, his cultivation speed would increase significantly. His cultivation had always increased very quickly, and he couldn't accept advancing one level every ten or even several decades. However, for ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators, advancing one minor level every few decades was already quite an achievement.
