"The North Country\'s weapons may indeed be formidable, but they are practically useless before a Celestial."

"Although he has some connection with the Mysterious Moon Palace, it is rather unlikely that the Celestial from the Mysterious Moon Palace will do whatever he commands, especially if there might already be a Celestial in the Capital city. Under such circumstances, the Celestial from the Mysterious Moon Palace probably would not risk aiding him in a southern march to support the emperor."

"Although my coup failed, there are still many who support me—after all, I am the legitimate eldest son. As soon as I take control of Heyang County, and call upon the realm to support the emperor in my name, there will surely be numerous powers who will join me."

"By that time, I will be able to amass a vast force and lead them towards the Capital city once again."

"The force that I gather will not only help the North Prince exhaust the imperial army\'s manpower, but also likely reveal whether there is a Celestial in the Capital city. The North Prince only needs to pay a minimal price, and I believe he should know how to choose."

Having heard Lu Yi\'s words, Xue Linglong thought to herself that she had originally thought Lu Yi was just a good-for-nothing, not realizing that he had some tricks up his sleeve.

However, it was not certain that the North Prince would agree.

If the North Prince was confident in his own strength, he would probably opt to march south to support the emperor directly, without any need to use Lu Yi to test the imperial court\'s power.

Now it all depended on what the North Prince was thinking.

After Lu Chen returned to the North Prince Mansion, he immediately summoned Zhuge Zhongguang to the study and relayed to him what Lu Yi had said.

When Zhuge Zhongguang heard that the Sum Emperor might possess an evil artifact which could directly advance someone to the Heavenly Human Realm, even he was momentarily stunned. If the Sum Emperor truly had such an artifact, it was likely that a being of the Heavenly Human Realm already existed in the Capital city.

This was extremely disadvantageous for the North Country.

Although the North Country also had a Celestial, when it came to a battle between Celestials, there were too many unknowns—no one knew whether the North Country\'s Celestial was more formidable or the Capital city\'s Celestial.

And that evil artifact might not just be capable of creating one Celestial; it could potentially produce many more. If the North Country rashly launched a campaign southward, they might very well hit a snag.

After a moment of silence, Zhuge Zhongguang said, "Prince, if such an evil artifact really exists, we might need to take our time composing a strategy."

Lu Chen then asked, "Great Scholar, have you ever heard of an artifact like this that could allow someone to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Zhuge Zhongguang replied, "No, in my many years of life, this is the first time I\'ve heard of such an artifact."

"Had there been news of such an artifact before, the Grandmasters from all over the world would have been in turmoil."

Since ancient times, Martial Artists capable of breaking through to become a Celestial have been few and far between. The majority simply reached the level of Grandmaster and could do nothing but wait for death.

If those old folks knew there was an artifact in this world that could directly help someone break through to the Celestial level, those Grandmasters would surely stop at nothing to seize it, especially since they didn\'t have many years left to live anyhow.

If they could seize that artifact and use it to break through, not only would they obtain the power to dominate the Martial Artists of the world, but they would also live for who knows how many more years.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then inquired of the system, "System, do you know of any artifacts in this world that can directly advance someone to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

[This question cannot be answered at the moment.]

Lu Chen felt somewhat speechless. What did it mean by \'cannot be answered at the moment\'? Either it existed or it did not.

Perceiving Lu Chen\'s thoughts, the system continued to provide hints.

[There are no such artifacts in this world because the condition to become a Celestial in this world is to pass the trial of the Will of the Heavenly Tao. Even if there are shortcuts to becoming a Celestial, they belong to other worlds. Moreover, if someone forcefully becomes a Celestial by other means, there is a high likelihood they would be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao.]

Hearing the system\'s response, Lu Chen fell into deep thought—if the Sum Emperor truly possessed an artifact that could directly make someone a Celestial, then the artifact couldn\'t possibly be from this world, but rather from another world.

Wait a moment...

Suddenly, Lu Chen thought of something. The information he had received was from Lu Yi, who had learned of it through the Heavy Cavalry. Could there be a possibility that even the Heavy Cavalry transporting that artifact didn\'t know its exact function?

Could it be that the so-called news about it enabling advancement to the Celestial level was just a rumor, and that the artifact, in reality, had another purpose?

With this thought, Lu Chen felt slightly relieved. If that were the case, then there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing Lu Chen remaining silent for some time, Zhuge Zhongguang proposed, "Prince, why don\'t you temporarily accept Prince Lu Yi\'s offer, assist him in taking over Heyang County, and then help him gather forces? When Prince Lu Yi and Zhao King march into the Capital city at that time, we will naturally find out whether there is a Celestial there or not."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
