Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 683 - 410 I Agree to Work with You_1

Upon hearing Yu Changqing’s words, the Sum Emperor was once again stunned; he had not expected such grand ambition from these two.

Kill a Celestial?

In truth, he himself had never entertained such a thought, although he had acquired that weapon, he intended to use it as a trump card, or to intimidate the Celestials with it so that they wouldn’t dare make their move against him.

After all, to use the weapon just once required a great deal of time to prepare, and it could only be used once in a short period.

If they could not achieve a one-strike kill, by the time the Celestials reacted, they would likely face a grim fate.

At that moment, the Sum Emperor looked into Yu Changqing’s eyes and spoke, "Elder Yu, you couldn’t be jesting with Us, could you?"

Yu Changqing picked up the teacup from the stone table, took a sip, and then continued, "With the support of the former Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, North Prince will surely lead his troops southward. You have no choice."

Upon hearing this, the Sum Emperor fell back into contemplation.

Although they didn’t like being threatened, Yu Changqing had not misjudged; that rebellious son had already amassed such formidable strength, and his ambition was even greater than his own. The first thing that son would do to fulfill his ambition would definitely be to march south and vie for the throne of Great Sum.

After seizing the throne of Great Sum, he would use Great Sum’s power to wage wars and gradually annex other kingdoms.

The Great Xia Dynasty was critical to that rebellious son; now, with the assistance of the Celestial from the Mysterious Moon Palace, his move south was inevitable.

After a while, the Sum Emperor came back to his senses and asked, "Why do you want to kill her?"

At this question, Yu Changqing let out a laugh before replying, "Isn’t it obvious? Back then, we made distinguished contributions to the expansion of the Mysterious Moon Palace, even using certain forbidden items, such that our Cultivation States can no longer advance in this lifetime."

"And yet, that woman handed over the position of Palace Master to a little girl, allowing her to quickly rise to power. Now she even plans to introduce a God’s Son to the Mysterious Moon Palace. What does she take us for?"

Hearing Yu Changqing’s answer, the Sum Emperor understood; these two were dissatisfied with the new Palace Master and sought to usurp power. As long as the Celestial from the Mysterious Moon Palace died, these two would easily take control of the entire palace.

From this perspective, they indeed had a shared interest. For him, as long as the Celestial from the Mysterious Moon Palace was gone, the palace would pose less of a threat. After several more decades of development, Great Sum might even become powerful enough to eliminate the Mysterious Moon Palace. At that point, no force or kingdom could threaten Great Sum, or him.

With this thought, the Sum Emperor said, "Very well, We agree to cooperate with you."

Seeing the Sum Emperor’s agreement, the corners of Yu Changqing’s and Fu Hongchou’s mouths turned up slightly, revealing faint smiles.

Yu Changqing then said, "Now that we are in cooperation, might the Sum Emperor allow us to see the weapon capable of slaying a Celestial?"

Hearing this request, the Sum Emperor became instantly wary, "That might not be such a good idea."

What if these two laid eyes on the weapon and decided to snatch it away? The weapon hadn’t yet absorbed enough Martial Artists’ skill and vital blood; it wasn’t ready to be used.

Noticing the Sum Emperor’s wariness, Yu Changqing spoke with a smile, "The Sum Emperor need not worry that we will attempt to snatch the weapon from you. You possess a Sacred Artifact from the Mysterious Moon Palace, and you have already entered the Unity Realm, with the Sacred Artifact you could instantly enhance your strength to the Heavenly Human Realm.

How could we possibly try to take something from you under these circumstances?"

At Yu Changqing’s words, the Sum Emperor frowned.

Yu Changqing actually knew that he had entered the Unity Realm and become a Pseudo Celestial!

But on second thought, it wasn’t surprising. After all, both Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou could be Pseudo Celestials of the Unity Realm, so they might sense his Realm.

The Sum Emperor pondered for a moment before saying, "Fine, I can take you to see it."

"But let me be clear beforehand, if you covet that weapon, don’t blame me for being inhospitable later on!"

Fu Hongchou replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we are just looking to verify whether that weapon truly has the ability to kill a Celestial. We have no interest in such an evil weapon."

The two of them were Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace, aware of some secrets of this world. As for such an evil weapon that required the sacrifice of martial artists to use, they dared not claim it as their own, for such a weapon might backfire on its master one day, leaving them clueless as to how they met their demise.

At this, the Sum Emperor turned and said, "Follow me."

As his words fell, the Sum Emperor turned and made his way to the Imperial Study Room, with Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou rising from their stone seats to follow him there.

Once the three entered the Imperial Study Room, all the doors and windows shut by themselves. The Sum Emperor walked over to a bookshelf, where he gently twisted a dragon head sculpture, and the next moment, the bookshelf began to vibrate.

Subsequently, the bookshelf slowly moved aside, revealing a downward hidden passage before the trio.

The Sum Emperor then said to the two behind him, "It’s quite far, keep up with me."

As he finished speaking, the Sum Emperor stepped into the hidden passage, with Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou quickly following suit.

After the Sum Emperor had entered the hidden passage, he used qinggong, moving very quickly, but Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou were still able to easily keep up with him.

The three ran almost as if flying for close to two hours before finally reaching the location where the evil weapon was stored.

Before them now was a huge secret chamber. In the middle of the chamber was a circular platform, under which was a bright red liquid.

Inside the chamber, Shadow Guards were continuously throwing captured martial artists into the Blood Pool below. Any artist who entered the Blood Pool would turn into a skeleton in a short while, and the nearby Shadow Guards would then fish out these skeletons.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Changqing said with a laugh, "Your Majesty is truly ruthless. If the other forces knew you were capturing their martial artists for sacrifice, they would probably stop at nothing to break into the Imperial Palace and kill you."

The Sum Emperor was unconcerned, perceiving Yu Changqing’s words as a threat.

The Sum Emperor then looked at the golden rod on the platform and stated, "That is the weapon capable of killing a Celestial!"

Upon seeing the weapon, Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou were taken aback for a moment.

Regaining his composure, Yu Changqing asked in bewilderment, "What kind of weapon is this, why have we never heard of a weapon of this style before?"

No sooner had Yu Changqing finished speaking than Fu Hongchou said, "Elder Yu, you might have forgotten, we have a similar weapon in the Mysterious Moon Palace. Chu Yue once took that weapon out of the Palace."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changqing instantly recalled that object resembling a long box.

Fu Hongchou continued, "Although these two weapons differ in shape, judging by their method of use, they likely both are activated from a distance and that weapon also requires certain conditions to be used."

Hearing the two’s conversation, the Sum Emperor was extremely astonished inside.

What? The Mysterious Moon Palace has a similar weapon?

Even if he helped these two kill the old Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, with that weapon still in existence, he feared he also might not be able to exterminate the Mysterious Moon Palace in the future.
