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

As long as the aristocratic families of the South were eradicated, the other aristocratic families within Great Sum's territory posed no real threat. In fact, these families had tried to aid the Southern aristocratic families through various means, but the Southern rebels still lost disastrously. Now, they could only shrink back within Sufeng City, awaiting their doom.

This was a clear sign that the era of Great Sum's ancient families was coming to an end.

The Grandmaster of Great Sum's royal family was already waiting outside Sufeng City. The final battle would be between the Grandmasters of the royal family and the Grandmasters of the major aristocratic families. Once the royal Grandmaster triumphed over the Grandmaster from the Southern aristocratic family, the war would be thoroughly concluded.

With the death of the Grandmaster from the Southern aristocratic family, no one would be able to resist the imperial army. At that time, the Southern aristocratic family would be completely eradicated from this world.

As Sum Emperor read the battle report in his hand, he thought that once the Southern aristocratic family was dealt with, he would immediately join forces with the Grandmasters of various dynasties and then eliminate Zhuge Zhongguang. Without Zhuge Zhongguang, even if North Prince had exceptional abilities, he would not be able to stir any trouble.

Just as Sum Emperor was contemplating this, suddenly a dark figure appeared before him. A Shadow Guard soldier knelt on the ground, holding up a letter, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from Yan County!"

Upon hearing that it was an intelligence report from Yan County, Sum Emperor didn't hesitate. He took the envelope directly, then opened it to check the contents of the report.

After viewing the contents of the envelope, the Sum Emperor was struck as if by a bolt from the blue, rendered utterly stunned.

The content of the report was simple, just one line: "Zhuge Zhongguang has broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm!"

This...

How is this possible?

Since when has breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm become so easy?

Although people always said that Zhuge Zhongguang was about to break through the Heavenly Human Realm, this statement had been repeated for decades without any sign of him actually achieving it.

And now Zhuge Zhongguang had not been in North Country for long, and he had already broken through?

The Sum Emperor couldn't accept this piece of news.

If Zhuge Zhongguang were one of Great Sum's court, one of his own, then it would be a different story. But Zhuge Zhongguang belonged to North Country, he was that most unwelcome person who may very well not be his biological son.

A feudal state with a Celestial-level powerhouse, what it would do next was almost self-evident.

Seeing the Sum Emperor staring at the letter in his hand for a long time, unable to recover, and looking as if he had been petrified, Situ Ce in the nearby pavilion seemed to understand something.

Although he did not know what had happened, something that could cause Sum Emperor to lose composure like this must be no small matter in North Country.

After a long time, Sum Emperor finally came back to his senses and said, "Investigate, have the Shadow Guards in Yan County investigate immediately. I want to know the exact news!"

Heavenly Human Realm is the pinnacle of Martial Arts, a realm of pseudo-Immortals, an existence not to be offended. Once North Country had a Celestial-level powerhouse, even the Sum Emperor's throne might become unstable. At this point, Sum Emperor no longer cared whether he was acting undignified.

What he feared most was the recurrence of the incidents from his childhood. Back then, the Celestial-level powerhouse from Mysterious Moon Palace had killed numerous Grandmasters, to the point that there are still Grandmasters hiding in the deep mountains and forests, not daring to emerge.

If Zhuge Zhongguang were like that Celestial-level powerhouse, would it be possible that the royal Grandmasters would be slaughtered again? The key issue was that he himself was now a Grandmaster. If Celestial-level powerhouses were to slay Grandmasters, then it was very likely that he, the Emperor, would die at the hands of a Celestial-level powerhouse.

At this moment, for the first time, Sum Emperor felt the fear of death, as those terrifying memories of his childhood once again enveloped his mind.

Seeing Sum Emperor so distraught, Situ Ce could no longer hold back and asked, "Your Majesty, may I know what has happened?"

Without responding, Sum Emperor simply threw the letter to Situ Ce. Situ Ce caught the letter and glanced at its contents.

Upon seeing those words, Situ Ce was also taken aback.

The Heavenly Human Realm... That is the level many Grandmasters yearn for their entire lives, a threshold most Grandmasters cannot even reach until their deaths. Since his birth, the only person he knew who had broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm was that one from Mysterious Moon Palace.

If Zhuge Zhongguang were to be counted as another, that would make two people.

But...

Has Zhuge Zhongguang really broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm?

Just then, a soldier hurriedly approached Sum Emperor and reported, "Your Majesty, there is activity in North Country!"

Hearing this, both Sum Emperor and Situ Ce were taken aback.

The Sum Emperor immediately asked, "What's going on?"

The soldier responded, "North Country has assembled an army of a hundred thousand at the border with Qi Country, claiming that if the court has difficulty dealing with the Southern rebels, they can move south at any time to assist in quelling the rebellion."

Upon hearing this, Sum Emperor's face turned dark on the spot.

Now that the Southern rebels were almost wiped out and were cowering within Sufeng City, North Country was talking about sending troops southward. What was the intention of North Country, one might easily guess?

Sum Emperor couldn't help but wonder if Zhuge Zhongguang had indeed broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. Otherwise, why would that brat be so eager to send troops southward?

It was clear that the brat could hardly wait to claim his throne.

The more Sum Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, and the next moment, he suddenly began coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough... Pfft..."

As he coughed, a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly sprayed out. Seeing this, Situ Ce hurried out of the pavilion and rushed to Sum Emperor's side, quickly placing his hand on the Emperor's back to help regulate his breathing.
