Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze smiled mysteriously: "The time has not come yet, so don't pass it on lightly. When I find my destiny, I will teach you."

When everyone heard this, they felt even more itchy and filled with curiosity and anticipation about cultivating immortals.

Seeing that everyone was enthusiastic, Chu Ze struck while the iron was hot and said, "I want to form an army of immortal cultivators, named 'Tian Gang Army'. Are you willing to join?"

"We are willing to serve Your Majesty at our utmost!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, and immediately issued an order to recruit strong and talented young people from across the country to join the Tiangang Army.

For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty was in an uproar. Countless young people, with the dream of cultivating immortals in their hearts, flocked to the capital, wanting to join this legendary army of immortals.

……

A few months later, the Tiangang Army was officially established. Chu Ze personally taught them a set of basic immortal cultivation techniques and ordered people to refine a large number of elixirs for them to practice.

These pills were made by Chu Ze based on the recipes in some fairy tale novels in his previous life, combined with modern technology. Although the effect is not as good as the real fairy pill, it is enough to make these ordinary people reborn and embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

Chu Ze stood on the high platform, looking at the neatly arranged Tiangang Army below, feeling full of pride.

"I will make you real immortals, break through the void, and live forever!" Chu Ze's voice resounded through the sky, full of bewitching power.

The soldiers of the Tiangang Army were all excited, and their eyes were filled with longing and desire for the future.

"For His Majesty! For immortality!" They shouted slogans, their voices deafening.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In three years, under Chu Ze's careful teaching, the Tiangang Army has made rapid progress. They have not only mastered various powerful spells, but also learned alchemy, refining, array formation and other immortal cultivation skills.

Chu Ze himself has also been practicing continuously in the past three years, and his strength has reached a terrifying level.

On this day, Chu Ze summoned the Tiangang Army and announced an important decision.

"I want to lead the Tiangang Army to conquer all directions and unify the world!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Unify the world? This is the dream of emperors of all dynasties, but no one has ever really realized it.

Chu Ze, however, looked confident, as if this was just a trivial matter to him.

"I have mastered the art of immortality and am invincible! All you need to do is follow me, and you will share wealth and glory and live forever!"

Chu Ze's words were full of temptation.

The soldiers of the Tiangang Army had already been brainwashed by Chu Ze and believed in his words without a doubt.

"Long live His Majesty! Unify the world!" They shouted slogans with high morale.

……

Not long after, Chu Ze led the Tiangang Army and began his conquest.

Relying on its powerful strength and advanced weapons and equipment, the Tiangang Army was invincible and unstoppable.

Countries were conquered and cities were occupied one after another.

Chu Ze's ambition continued to grow with each victory.

He was no longer satisfied with unifying the world, but set his sights on a more distant place - the fairyland!
"I will lead the Tiangang Army to the immortal world and become a true immortal!"

Chu Ze's outrageous words shocked everyone.

Killing the immortals? This is simply a foolish dream!

However, Chu Ze had a determined look on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"I have received guidance from the immortals and know where the immortal world is. As long as we break the seal on the top of Tianshan Mountain, we can enter the immortal world!"

The top of Tianshan Mountain is the legendary entrance to the fairyland. It has always been regarded as a forbidden area and no one dares to approach it.

Chu Ze was not afraid at all. He led the Tiangang Army and marched towards Tianshan Mountain in a mighty manner... At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, Chu Ze met a mysterious old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest has white hair and a youthful face, and he looks like an immortal. It is obvious at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

"Young man, why do you want to break into Tianshan?" the old Taoist stopped Chu Ze and asked.

Chu Ze smiled proudly: "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If I want to go to the fairyland, what's wrong with that?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head: "How can you go to the fairyland whenever you want? If you do this, you will only hurt others and yourself."

"Hmph! How can you imagine my strength?" Chu Ze snorted coldly and was about to take action.

The old Taoist sighed and said, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest waved his whisk, and a powerful force blew Chu Ze and the Tiangang Army away...

Chu Ze was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the old Taoist priest in disbelief, his eyes full of anger and humiliation. He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was defeated by an old Taoist priest in one move!
"You... who are you?" Chu Ze asked gritting his teeth.

The old Taoist glanced at him calmly and said, "I am Qingxuzi, the guardian of Tianshan Mountain."

"Guardian of Tianshan?" Chu Ze sneered, "I want to go to the fairyland, do you dare to stop me?"

Qingxuzi shook his head and said, "You can't go to the fairyland just because you want to. You are not strong enough, and you will die if you go there."

"Bullshit!" Chu Ze roared, "I have already mastered the immortal arts and am invincible in the world! How could I be afraid of death?"

Qingxuzi sighed and said, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin." After that, he waved the whisk again, and an even more powerful force swept over.

Chu Ze was unable to resist at all and was blown away again. This time, he fell into a coma.

Upon seeing this, the Tiangang Army soldiers immediately fell into chaos.

"His Majesty!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

They all rushed forward, trying to protect Chu Ze.

However, Qingxuzi just waved his whisk lightly and blew them all away.

"You guys should leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Qingxuzi said coldly.

Although the Tiangang Army soldiers were unwilling to accept the defeat, they knew that they were no match for Qingxuzi, so they had to leave Tianshan in disgrace, taking the unconscious Chu Ze with them.

……

When Chu Ze woke up, he found himself lying on the dragon bed in the palace.

"Your Majesty, you finally woke up!" said the eunuch chief, Eunuch Li, with a look of surprise.

Chu Ze sat up, feeling sore all over and his head was dizzy.

"What's wrong with me?" he asked.

Eunuch Li quickly told Chu Ze what had happened.

After listening to Eunuch Li's story, Chu Ze's face turned pale.

He was the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was defeated by an old Taoist priest and driven out of Tianshan! This was a great shame and humiliation for him!
"Damn old Taoist priest! I must kill you!" Chu Ze roared.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Eunuch Li quickly advised, "That old Taoist priest is very powerful. We are no match for him!"

Chu Ze also knew that what Eunuch Li said made sense, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed down.

"I must find a way to defeat that old Taoist priest and go to the fairyland!" Chu Ze said gritting his teeth.

……

In the following days, Chu Ze has been looking for a way to defeat Qingxuzi. (End of this chapter)
