At this moment, the Sum Emperor calmed his emotions. Since Great Wu had decided on a military campaign against the North Country, he had to accelerate his plans and could no longer afford to delay.

After Great Wu helped the Sum Imperial Court defeat North Country, the Sum Emperor planned to give the Martial Emperor a big surprise.

With formidable military strength, the Sum Emperor believed North Country would last a considerable time, which would not only deplete Great Wu's military might, exacerbate its internal contradictions, but also rid Great Sum of this trouble with North Country.

Once Great Wu eliminated the nuisance of North Country, the internal problems of Great Sum would be nearly resolved. The Sum Emperor believed by that time, he would have likely ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm.

With him as a Celestial holding the fort, what would Great Wu count for then?

As the Sum Emperor was contemplating this, the voice of a soldier came from outside the sleeping quarters, "Your Majesty, two venerable ancestors from Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain have arrived, and they are waiting outside the palace gate."

Upon hearing this, the Sum Emperor promptly rose from his dragon bed and said, "Bring them in. Also, send for the State Preceptor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after, the Sect Hierarch of Four Directions Mountain and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist of Fixed Wind Mountain appeared in the Sum Emperor's sleeping quarters.

As they entered the Sum Emperor's sleeping quarters, they saw the Sum Emperor himself looking spirited, not at all like the dying man rumored by the outside world.

Seeing the Sum Emperor so lively, both were stunned.

They quickly noticed the Sum Emperor carried the same aura as them—could it be that the Sum Emperor was also a Pseudo Celestial at the Unity Realm?

This…

The Eternally Mysterious Taoist and the Sect Hierarch, crafty characters who had lived for over a century, knew full well what was happening, even at this point.

Clearly, the supposed invitation from the State Preceptor was merely a ruse to deceive outsiders; it was the Sum Emperor himself who had invited them, and it was he who was the royal ancestor that had ascended to the Unity Realm.

The Sect Hierarch of Divine Communication then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you've hidden your true strength deeply. Everyone outside has been fooled by you."

Since Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain were already major powers, the Sect Hierarch and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist did not show excessive deference to the Sum Emperor.

The Sum Emperor said indifferently, "If some people knew that I was about to become a Celestial, wouldn't that put me in great danger? I had no choice but to act this way."

The Eternally Mysterious Taoist said, "Your Majesty, since you've already summoned us both, let's skip the formalities. Just tell us directly how we can help you break through to Celestial status."

The Sum Emperor said, "The condition for my breakthrough to Celestial status is quite simple; it is to kill all the seigniors of Great Sum. Once they are all dead, I will be able to become a Celestial."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Hierarch and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist were taken aback.

They did not expect the condition for the Sum Emperor to become a Celestial to be so straightforward. Compared to their own conditions to become a Celestial, the Sum Emperor's requirement was trivial.

There seemed to be only nine seigniors with bestowed fiefs in the entirety of Great Sum. Considering the power of Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain, aside from the seignior of North Country who posed a challenge, the rest could be easily dealt with.

At once, an ominous feeling arose in both of them. If they so easily helped the Sum Emperor eliminate those seigniors, would the Sum Emperor turn his sights on Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain after his breakthrough to Celestial status?

And would the Sum Emperor assist them in ascending to Celestial status? They certainly didn't have it as easy as the Sum Emperor in becoming Celestials.

For a moment, both lapsed into silence.

The Sum Emperor continued, "I know what you both are worried about. I can assure you that once I reach the Heavenly Human Realm, I will absolutely not lay a hand on Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain. Besides, we have a common enemy."

The Eternally Mysterious Taoist said with a laugh, "We dare not trust Your Majesty's assurances. Although we share a common enemy, how can you be so certain that once you become a Celestial, we will be able to defeat the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

"Even though the Mysterious Moon Palace has a Celestial, and that person has been in that state for many years now, Your Majesty may not necessarily be a match for them."

The Sum Emperor said lightly, "Though the Mysterious Moon Palace does have a Celestial, it is very possible that this Celestial has been injured or encountered some difficulty."

At the Sum Emperor's conjecture, the Eternally Mysterious Taoist and Sect Hierarch felt a jolt, and the former immediately asked, "Oh? Why does Your Majesty believe so?"

The Sum Emperor responded, "Hasn't there always been a rumor outside that the royal family has obtained the Sacred Artifact of the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

The Sect Hierarch inquired, "Could it be that this is not just a rumor?"

The Sum Emperor affirmed, "It is not merely a rumor, I have indeed obtained the Sacred Artifact of the Mysterious Moon Palace. However, the Mysterious Moon Palace has not sent anyone to seize the artifact, which indicates they are not confident in their own strength. This also proves that the condition of their Celestial is not very stable."

"If in the future you both ascend to Celestial status and someone seizes your faction's treasured artifact, would you ignore it indefinitely?"

Hearing the Sum Emperor's words, the Sect Hierarch and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist fell silent. If their precious treasures were taken, they would spare no effort to retrieve them, especially given their status as Celestials.

As Celestials, they would already be immortals of this world; how could they still fear those mundane forces.
