Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1307 - 997 Impending Crisis in the Chiyue Dynasty
Chapter 1307 -997 Impending Crisis in the Chiyue Dynasty
Pei Shuhua stood in the middle of the grand hall, her beautiful eyes gazing towards the sky outside, her deep gazes seeming to penetrate this world, transcending the void, and glimpsing the Great Sum Empire.
After a long while, Pei Shuhua came back to her senses and said to the reporting guard: “What movements does the Cosmic Development Company have?”
The guard replied: “Apart from establishing some so-called subsidiaries, the Cosmic Development Company hasn’t made any moves, and the Spiritual Artifacts they produce are all sold through the Ye Family’s Trading House.”
Hearing the guard’s response, Pei Shuhua indifferently said: “I do not believe that they have come all this way to the Chiyue Empire, just to do nothing.”
In Pei Shuhua’s view, the Cosmic Development Company was an organization collecting intelligence, and she feared that the current situation of the Chiyue Empire was already fully known to the Daxia Dynasty.
The thought of this made Pei Shuhua even more dissatisfied with the Ye Family.
But under the current circumstances, even if she was discontent with the Ye Family, she couldn’t act against them. The urgent matter was to dethrone the Emperor. Only by becoming the master of the Empire could she use the entire Dynasty’s Qi Fortune to break through and become a Great Emperor.
Only with a Great Emperor could she deal with the internal unrest and external threats of the Chiyue Dynasty.
With this in mind, Pei Shuhua said: “Continue to monitor the people from the Cosmic Development Company. Also, it’s time for us to carry out our plan.”
The condition of their old ancestor worsened day by day, and she had to break through and become a Great Emperor before the old ancestor’s time was up; otherwise, it would not be so easy to wrest power from the hands of Pei Wenfu, especially if he conspired with the Qingyun Dynasty.
Their old ancestor hadn’t died yet, and if the Qingyun Dynasty intervened at this time, their old ancestor would be able to take action and buy her some time.
After hearing what Pei Shuhua had said, the guard excitedly spoke: “Yes, Your Highness, I will spread the message right away!”
Several days later.
Voices clamoring for the dethroning of the Emperor surged within the Chiyue Dynasty, and many factions within claimed that Pei Wenfu did not possess the virtue befitting his position and was unsuitable to continue as Emperor. They argued that the Emperor should abdicate in favor of Pei Shuhua.
Within the Imperial Palace, Pei Wenfu sat on the Dragon Throne in the Imperial Study Room, looking at the intelligence in his hand, becoming furiously enraged.
“Rebellion! They’ve all rebelled!!!”
Pei Wenfu was no fool, and he could clearly see the deliberate manipulation behind this uprising. It was obvious that Pei Shuhua was trying to seize power, and therefore she had her factions propose the Emperor’s dethronement in advance.
Pei Shuhua didn’t need to vie to the death with him to ascend; after all, the strength Pei Shuhua possessed and the forces under her control were already stronger than his.
Pei Shuhua aspired to be the Emperor, and all she needed to do was to create the momentum. Once the entire Chiyue Empire was filled with voices calling for the Emperor’s dethronement, Pei Shuhua could rightfully claim her position.
As soon as Pei Wenfu finished speaking, Feng Tengfei’s sly voice appeared in the study, “Your Majesty, it seems Princess Junwan can no longer wait.”
Seeing Feng Tengfei had arrived, Pei Wenfu, grasping at straws, turned his head towards Feng Tengfei and asked eagerly: “Didn’t you report Pei Shuhua’s actions? What did your old ancestor say?”
Feng Tengfei took out a Jade Token and said: “Emperor Yun wants you to be at ease. Even if Pei Shuhua truly becomes a Great Emperor, we will help stabilize your throne.”
“Moreover, even if she becomes a Great Emperor, her strength won’t match that of a true Great Emperor, so you don’t need to worry.”
Hearing Feng Tengfei’s words, Pei Wenfu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Pei Shuhua had gone too far, and this time he intended to completely eliminate the threat she posed.

Meanwhile.
Qingyun Dynasty.
In the vast hall shrouded in mist, an old man with white hair sat squarely in the center, surrounded by the flowing Dao Charm, his whole being appearing ethereal and floating, akin to a true Immortal.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow Dragon Robe entered the hall and said, “Ancestor, the clamor for the deposition of the emperor in the Chiyue Dynasty is growing louder. It won’t be long before Pei Shuhua takes Pei Wenfu’s throne.”
Hearing the voice of Emperor Yun Qi Hongguang, the old man slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his body was gently lifted by a white Spiritual Power. After stabilizing the Spiritual Power within his body, he stood in the middle of the hall and looked at Qi Hongguang, saying, “It seems that old ghost really is no good anymore.”
Qi Hongguang asked, “Ancestor, the spies from the Chiyue Dynasty report that Pei Shuhua possesses a method to ascend to Emperor instantly. Do you know anything about this method?”
When Feng Tengfei relayed this message, Qi Hongguang didn’t take it seriously because, in his view, even if Pei Shuhua truly became Emperor, she would still be powerless against the three Great Emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty.
The reason they had not moved against the Chiyue Dynasty over the years was not because the Chiyue Dynasty had a Great Emperor but because that Great Emperor was Pei Tianlu, the Royal Ancestor of the Chiyue Dynasty.
There are indeed differences in strength among Great Emperors, and Pei Tianlu’s strength back then was enough to crush a group of Great Emperors. He was the only one from the nearby Star Domains who had ventured into the Outer Domain Battlefield.
It was precisely because of Pei Tianlu’s presence that even though the Qingyun Dynasty had three Great Emperors, they dared not do anything to the Chiyue Dynasty.
But times have changed. Pei Tianlu was gravely injured on the Outer Domain Battlefield and is said to be declining day by day, with his end nearing, providing the Qingyun Dynasty with the opportunity to destroy the Chiyue Dynasty.
Hearing Qi Hongguang’s question, Qi Zong gently stroked his snow-white beard and said indifferently, “I have indeed heard of some rapid methods to become an Emperor, but all these methods come with a great cost.”
Having said that, Qi Zong suddenly thought of something, and his hand paused in stroking his beard, then he continued, “Pei Tianlu is in such a hurry for Pei Shuhua to ascend; he probably wants to use the Dynasty’s Qi Fortune to help her become an Emperor.”
Hearing this, Qi Hongguang was momentarily stunned. The reason they wanted to eradicate the Chiyue Dynasty was precisely because of its Qi Fortune. If Pei Shuhua absorbed the entire Dynasty Fortune of the Chiyue Dynasty, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?
Qi Zong continued, “Although this method does have a high chance of allowing a Quasi-Emperor to break through, even if one were to forcefully break through, their strength would still not match that of a true Great Emperor. Moreover, after using this method to break through, it would be difficult to make any further progress in their Cultivation State in this lifetime.”
“That old ghost really is daring to gamble.”
Qi Hongguang asked respectfully, “Ancestor, what should we do next?”
“If Pei Shuhua really uses the method of seizing the Dynasty Fortune to break through, our plans might be thwarted.”
After pondering for a moment, Qi Zong said, “That’s simple. As long as Pei Wenfu remains alive, Pei Wenfu is still the Emperor of the Chiyue Dynasty, and Pei Shuhua won’t be able to seize the Dynasty’s Qi Fortune; thus, she won’t be able to use this method to become an Emperor.”
Qi Hongguang said, “I have already had someone deliver a Jade Token inscribed with my Divine Sense to the Chiyue Dynasty. The moment Pei Shuhua attempts to seize the throne, I will immediately use the Great Emperor’s phantom to stop her.”
Qi Zong stated, “A Great Emperor’s phantom might not be enough.”
At this point, Qi Zong also took out a Jade Token, “This one contains my Divine Sense. Go get another Jade Token from your third uncle.”
