Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

Hidden world, the Liu family.

As the Patriarch Liu Tianming's five hundredth birthday approaches, every member of the Liu family has become busy.

The beautiful mountains and rivers are adorned with red silk and brocade, and the azure sky is surrounded by cranes.

Starting from the Liu family's guest reception hall and extending all the way to the entrance of the small world, both sides of this vast area are filled with prepared banquet tables and chairs.

In a small world, the one holding the world seal is above all, able to command sunshine or rain with a single word.

For the arrival of the birthday celebration, Liu Tianming has devoted countless effort, and the depletion of various resources has reached a terrifying level.

But it has also aroused dissatisfaction among many elders of the Liu family.

In the Liu family's grand hall, many elders led by Liu Hongyun looked at Liu Tianming on the main seat, with expressions of hesitation.

"Patriarch."

After a while, Liu Hongyun bit his teeth and stood up, speaking: "The matter of the birthday celebration... isn't it too extravagant?"

"In the past half a year, the foundation we've built as the Liu family is nearly depleted."

"Just for a birthday celebration, is it worth it?"

Being five hundred years old is hardly a significant birthday, especially since Liu Tianming is at the quasi-emperor level.

This birthday banquet, whether held or not, doesn't really matter.

However, considering that the time has come for hidden families to emerge amid the coming prosperous era.

The Liu family might as well take the lead, using the birthday celebration as a lure to invite guests from all directions and announce the family's emergence.

Over the past years, Liu family weakened through generations, could use this birthday celebration to gain some reputation and connect with strong individuals, which would be a beneficial thing.

Originally, they had discussed well with Liu Tianming, and all details were decided.

Yet starting from half a year ago when Sheng'er died, Liu Tianming's personality changed drastically.

Every day he appeared somber and irritable, overturning the previously decided birthday plans and crazily transforming this small world.

Moreover, the Liu family initially only planned to host a modest birthday banquet.

Yet unexpectedly, Liu Tianming suddenly sent out a vast number of invitations.

To those with connections and without connections, to those from five regions and ten countries, hidden families... everyone was notified.

Now, many elders of the Liu family don't dare to imagine how many people will come when the time arrives.

The expenses prepared in the budget have exceeded the limit again and again, to the point where it is now unbearable.

So even though Liu Tianming is the head of the family, the elders have initiated impeachment, hoping to reduce the scale of the birthday celebration.

"Resources dwindling?"

Liu Tianming's face remained grim as he said expressionlessly:

"What use are resources to the Liu family now? Who can they still nurture?"

"With Sheng'er dead, the Liu family's hope is lost; whether the Liu family can exist in this era is uncertain."

"So what use are those resources?"

No one knows how much Liu Sheng's death affected Liu Tianming.

He was a cherished child of the Liu family, who was expected to pave the way on the imperial path and lead the Liu family towards glory!

Yet just as the prosperous era arrived... Liu Sheng died?

The family weakened through generations, and the members varied in quality, and now the last hope was thoroughly extinguished.

Liu Tianming went mad.

He wanted to exact the most insane revenge!

"Patriarch, with Sheng'er gone, we too feel the pain, but we must look to the long-term."

A Liu family elder said bitterly: "If the Liu family cannot rise in this era, then wait for another era!"

"As long as the small world exists, the Liu family's roots remain, but if resources are exhausted, how will the future Liu family members cultivate?"

Liu Hongyun and the others nodded in agreement.

However, Liu Tianming gave a contemptuous smile at these words,

"Another era?"

"There will be no next era; with Sheng'er dead, I've found a new path for the Liu family."

With these words spoken, Liu Tianming seemed unwilling to elaborate further, and his cold gaze settled on Liu Hongyun as he said:

"Continue sending out invitations, do not consider resource exhaustion, invite as many guests as possible, the more, the better."

"Once the birthday celebration is over... these resources will be of no use to the Liu family."

Liu Hongyun and the other elders hesitated, on the verge of saying something.

But suddenly...

"Something's wrong, Patriarch something's wrong!"

As the atmosphere tensed, a young member of the Liu family ran into the hall frantically.

But before he could speak...

Boom!

A violently aggressive and terrifying pressure suddenly descended, causing the young member to explode on the spot, blood everywhere.

"Find out what happened."

Liu Tianming didn't even look at the deceased member and said coldly.

Liu Hongyun and the other elders watched Liu Tianming, whose moods fluctuated unpredictably, feeling a chill down their spine.

In the past half-year, Liu Tianming has killed seven or eight people.

They were all family members!

Such a merciless side induced fear among the elders who were prepared to impeach.

No one spoke as an elder turned to leave and returned momentarily with a heavy expression.

"Wu Jiuling has recovered from injuries."

"And has... broken through to the Peak of Quasi-Emperor!"

Though the Liu family previously remained hidden, they maintained agents throughout the five domains.

Plus, their small world's entrance wasn't far from the Southern Domain.

The extensive phenomenon of Wu Jiuling's breakthrough was soon reported here.

And this news caused the expressions of several elders present to change slightly.

Back when Wu Jiuling caused chaos in the Liu family, they had to resort to using the Emperor's Weapon to repel him.

Now that Wu Jiuling's wounds have healed, and his cultivation advanced further, should he attack again, it would be even more difficult.

"Heh, breaking through is good."

Liu Tianming chuckled suddenly, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible, "This way, killing him will be even more satisfying!"

"Patriarch, if we wield the Emperor's Weapon this time, can we kill him?"
