Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Chapter 330 Yan Shifan: I thought I had grown up...the temptation of war!

The sudden scream made Chen Hong and Huang Jin's faces darken. Without Lu Fang saying anything, they stepped forward and said, "Master, please forgive us. It's all because of our failure to discipline you properly..."

"The person outside is the person I arranged in Fengling Town. I think something must have happened, which is why they are so aggressive..."

Before Chen Hong and the other two finished their words, Jiajing said, "Let someone in."

Because just now, Jiajing also received the feeling that the passage between the two worlds was forcibly broken into in his mind.

As for the little eunuch who suddenly broke back into the Ming Dynasty, he was recalled by the emperor's seal and appeared directly outside the Yuxi Palace.

At the same time, through the imperial seal, he also roughly knew what had happened in Fengling Town.

The imperial seal and the Ming dynasty are one and the same.

The Ming Dynasty has its own consciousness. As the number of channels between the two worlds of the Ming Dynasty increases, it is impossible for Jiajing to keep an eye on these channels all the time to prevent people from the immortal world from breaking in.

Therefore, under the supervision of the Emperor's Seal, only people from the Ming Dynasty are allowed to pass, and anyone else who tries to force their way in will be isolated.

This way, you can save a lot of trouble.

As for a wandering immortal like Longyang Xianzun, entering the Ming Dynasty is a special case after all.

In fact, at this time, Jiajing already knew everything through the imperial seal and the eunuchs who handed in their lives and stayed on Lingxu Island. The Ming Dynasty was exposed, and Dazhu Academy came to find out!

And at that moment, the eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department who stayed in Fengling Town also had their souls wiped out by the imperial seal.

These are all Emperor Xi’s own judgments.

Because the order given by Jiajing was to treat the channel between the two worlds and the Ming Dynasty as top secret.

Once it is discovered that someone has entered the world of cultivating immortals, wants to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, or is being searched and ambushed, his soul will be immediately wiped out.

This time, a total of more than 500 eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage were lost.

Among them, three eunuchs have reached the Golden Core Stage!
Of course, this is just Fengling Island and the Jin family manor. You have to know that many years have passed, and the cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, as well as Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Hai Rui and others have already had their own industries and developments in the world of immortal cultivation.

Every household has invested a lot in the Western Continent.

Before they had time to move all their troops to the island occupied by the Ming Dynasty, they were uprooted by the Dazhu Academy.

All in all, when all the losses are added together, there are thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators lost.

There are also more than ten or twenty people in the Jindan stage.

For the Ming Dynasty today, these losses are naturally within the tolerable range, but they cannot be ignored.

After all, a cultivator in the Jindan stage can be considered a considerable fighting force for a sect or family.

If it were in the Ming Dynasty, a cultivator in the Jindan stage would already be the head of a sect or a family.

The grade directors of some key schools are in the Jindan stage.

Even if you do nothing, opening a primary school in a remote area can also cultivate many immortal talents for the Ming Dynasty.

Most importantly, after this battle, Ming Dynasty’s plan on Lingxu Island and Fengling Town was completely over.

However, this was also an unexpected change.

It was impossible for him to make targeted arrangements in advance.

Fortunately, this time, the transportation of resources from Fengling Town and various places on Lingxu Island to the Ming Dynasty has been completed.

The next large-scale transport will take three years.

As Ming's business in the Western Continent matured, the timing of each large-scale material transportation became extremely regular, with large-scale transportation basically occurring once every three years.

The rest of the time, each household develops on its own.

As Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang waved his hand and the young eunuch outside the door was directly summoned to the main hall.

"Slave, servant..." This young eunuch was closest to the passage between the two worlds when the incident happened. In addition, his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, so he was considered a genius.

As soon as the incident happened, he desperately rushed towards the passage between the two worlds, and with the help of the Emperor's Seal, he successfully returned to Ming Dynasty.

As for the others, when the incident happened, since they were far away from the passage between the two worlds, and the people from Dazhu Academy saw that someone could actually escape under the isolation of the academy's Fa Zheng, they immediately used their extraordinary skills to suppress everyone on the spot.

"Just tell me what happened." At this time, Lu Fang, the ancestor of most eunuchs, spoke in a calm and soothing tone.

After saying this, Lu Fang shot out another strand of spiritual power, sending it into the body of the nervous little eunuch to help him calm his uneasy mood.

"Reporting to the Emperor," the eunuch said after calming down his frightened mind, "The Ming Dynasty's deployment and business in Fengling Town were attacked by unknown forces and completely destroyed!"

what? !

Upon hearing the young eunuch's words, everyone in the hall, except Jiajing and Immortal Master Longyang, was shocked.

Obviously, they did not expect that the Ming Dynasty's deployment in Fengling Town would be attacked by unknown forces.

"I have already learned about this matter through the imperial seal." At this time, Jiajing spoke slowly.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiajing.

Lu Fang also gave the young eunuch a look, indicating that the young eunuch should leave.

"The force that attacked was Dazhu Academy." Jiajing said, and raised his hand lightly, and a touch of gold flashed out from his palm. Then he saw the imperial seal spinning in the air.

"I have learned the whole story through Wei Zhongxian, who is in charge of Tomorrow Tower in the South Continent, and my eldest disciple, Xu Shixing, who just reported to the Emperor's Seal."

"This matter has already spread throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation. Let's all take a look..."

As he spoke, Jiajing couldn't help but look at the imperial seal.

But at this moment, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the person Yan Shifan killed was such a powerful figure.

What was even more unexpected was that Yan Shifan, who had acted so carefully, was still found by the other party.

Who would have thought that he was just a second-generation rich kid who was arrogant and domineering because of his family background, but he actually had a mother who came from the royal palace of an ancient dynasty.

It is enough to show that when doing things in the world of cultivating immortals, even if it is a family enemy, their bones will be crushed to ashes and their souls will be destroyed. If you really encounter those people with monstrous power, the other party will have plenty of ways to find you.

What's more, what Jiajing didn't expect was that Zhu Nian, who made a deal with Yan Shifan, was so cruel.

Any normal person knows that once the Spine of Creation is made public, it will cause a huge shock to the entire world of immortal cultivation. By then, perhaps the entire world of immortal cultivation will be involved in war and turn into an endless hell!
It can be said that this person dragged everyone into the water purely for his own selfish desires.

This is truly a typical example of someone who has a snake heart but a Buddha's mouth!
Of course, for Jiajing, the disclosure of the secret of the Spine of Creation not only means that the world of immortal cultivation will enter a period of great turmoil, but also turn the entire human world into purgatory.

The good or bad of the world of immortal cultivation does not matter to Jiajing. At this moment, he has already smelled a glimmer of opportunity!
"Buzz!"

The imperial seal in the main hall projected the contents of the reports of Wei Zhongxian and Xu Shixing.

After a short while, everyone understood everything about the world of cultivation.

"Bang!" At this moment, Yan Shifan immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "I am guilty!"

"It was because of my selfishness that I was deceived by a villain, which led to the disaster today!"

"If my majesty's ambitions are affected because of me, I will die for it!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to punish me!" After saying this, Yan Shifan knocked his head hard on the floor.

The whole person was trembling at this moment.

The Bone of Creation?! At this time, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, and the cabinet members Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others who did not know about the Bone of Creation beforehand, could not help but gasp after learning about the function of the Bone of Creation.

There is no need to practice hard, just embark on the road to heaven and enter the fairyland to become an immortal.

No living being can resist such temptation.

For a moment, everyone's eyes looking at Yan Shifan changed slightly.

Could it be that Yan Shifan actually had rebellious intentions?

Everyone present is at the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty and has an extremely keen political sense.

If the Bone of Creation is in the hands of the Yifa Dynasty, what does that mean? Everyone knows it very well.

But if an individual wants to take it for himself, especially a powerful official, well, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is rebelling!

Yan Shifan? Is he really that brave?!
Hai Rui, who was standing nearby, looked at Yan Shifan, who was curled up on the ground, with an unfriendly look.

As a loyal supporter of the emperor, Hai Rui would never allow anyone to interfere. This was a power that belonged only to the emperor and his father!
At this time, there were only four people in the hall who could remain calm, except Jiajing, who had already known that Yan Shifan had presented the Spine of Creation to explain everything.

Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son, Lu Fang, and the Immortal Longyang who had already extracted memories from everyone's spirits when the Ming Dynasty was invaded.

"Get up," Jiajing leaned back comfortably on the cushion behind him, and said calmly, "You obtained the Spine of Creation and knew to hand it over to me as soon as possible, which shows that you, Yan Shifan, are a loyal person."

"Your Majesty, your words are real. Since I have said that I will not pursue the matter any further, I will not pursue it any further."

"Besides, this matter is beyond your expectation. Now the key point is, in the upcoming war in the world of immortal cultivation, how should our Ming Dynasty deal with it?"

Yan Shifan? Loyal and good?

Hearing Jiajing's words, Gao Gong's face trembled. If Yan Shifan could be called a loyal and good person, then what was he?
However, after hearing what Jiajing said, everyone present suddenly realized that Yan Shifan had already handed over the creator of the world to the emperor a long time ago.

And the emperor had already forgiven Yan Shifan.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The father and son of the Yan family were really loyal. They could actually resist the temptation of the spine of creation, the road to heaven, and the lifeblood of countless cultivators.

Speaking of greed, who in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the emperor, could be greedier than Yan Song and his son? But at the critical moment, the father and son were extremely sober.

Perhaps the only explanation is that both father and son are truly loyal to the emperor.

Only this kind of "loyalty" that comes from the heart can make them sober up from their greed and think of the emperor first!

Of course, it may also be that he was afraid of the emperor's methods and worried that he would be purged if the matter was exposed.

In short, the good luck of Yan Song and his son is enviable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful!" As Yan Shifan stood up, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I know that since the emperor has agreed, he will definitely not punish me again, this matter was caused by me after all.

The Ming Dynasty's deployment on Lingxu Island was therefore uprooted, and even the existence of the Ming Dynasty became known to people, which ran counter to the Ming Dynasty's national policy of low-key development.

For various reasons, if someone else were to take advantage of the situation at this time, there is no guarantee that the emperor would not blame them.

Fortunately, he had passed this test. "Your Majesty, I think this may be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Song took the initiative to speak.

Well, this old guy isn't pretending to sleep this time.

After all, the matter became so serious that it could be said that it was entirely caused by the personal grudge between Yan Shifan and Lu Yu.

If he doesn't take the initiative to offer suggestions at this time, his life as the prime minister of the cabinet will be in vain.

At this time, other people in the hall also looked thoughtful after hearing Yan Song's words.

Jiajing didn't say anything, but just signaled Yan Song to continue.

"With the current foundation and strength of our Great Ming, even if there are wonders created by heaven and earth witnessed by Qiankun, we can quickly catch up with the entire world of immortal cultivation in terms of time."

"But even so, for our Ming Dynasty, there is still a huge gap between us and the world of immortal cultivation..."

Yan Song's tone was gentle and logical.

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. This was a problem that the Ming Dynasty had to face.

The celestial-grade weapons developed by the Xianming Heavy Industry Institute can naturally make up for the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty’s insufficient top-level combat power.

Moreover, if stellar weapons were developed, even a Mahayana cultivator or an immortal would not be able to contend with it.

But the problem is that although celestial-grade weapons are powerful enough, the requirements for their research and development are too harsh.

The Ming Domain is several times or even dozens of times larger than the solar system where the Ming Dynasty is located, but it only has two satellites, which are suitable for the development of satellite-level celestial weapons.

From nothing to something, even if the Ming Dynasty tried every means, it would still not be enough to make up for it. After all, the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty.

The development of a dynasty is not just about expansion. It is not enough to have combat power sufficient to conquer everything. It also requires management.

It would take a long time for the people to adapt and digest it. Therefore, the only thing the Ming Dynasty could do was to accumulate it bit by bit over time.

Of course, this is considered from the perspective of Ming Dynasty's own development and catching up with the world of immortal cultivation.

From another perspective, the world of immortal cultivation is self-destructive, its foundation is collapsing, and it is growing and declining with the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty will be able to catch up!

And now, the opportunity seems to have come!
"If the entire world of immortal cultivation falls into an extremely huge turmoil, all lives will be destroyed and there will be heavy casualties."

"Overlord-level forces such as the Four Great Academies, and even the top overlords and giants in other star regions, have all collapsed..."

"The entire world of immortal cultivation has been plunged into a war that will last for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years!"

As he spoke of this, Yan Song emanated a terrifying aura, and faintly there seemed to be the roar of a vicious tiger.

At this moment, Yan Song no longer looked like the old civil official he had been before? The murderous intent emanating from his body made it seem as if a huge sea of ​​blood had formed behind him in the eyes of the people in the hall.

What he said made Immortal Venerable Long Yang raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking in his heart that this guy was too cold-blooded!
However, Yan Song did not pay attention to everyone's thoughts and continued speaking.

"In this way, our Ming Dynasty can gain huge benefits from the war to make up for its own shortcomings."

"Secondly, we can take the opportunity to fight for resources!"

"Finally, when the world of immortal cultivation is severely damaged and unable to recover, my Ming Dynasty will have already developed into a behemoth. Then we can invade the world of immortal cultivation with our entire dynasty."

"Compared with the future gains from the war, the loss of our Ming Dynasty on Lingxu Island this time is nothing."

After saying this, Yan Song bowed and said no more.

At this time, the hall had already fallen into silence, and everyone was thinking about Yan Song's words.

The five princes, including Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Prince Gong, Prince An, and Prince Ning, had eyes full of desire at this moment.

They have already seen that they can take advantage of the war to frantically harvest the resources of the world of immortal cultivation and expand their own opportunities.

At any time, only war can bring the greatest benefits to a country or even to the powerful.

Throughout its history, the Ming Dynasty has long been accustomed to plundering resources from wars to strengthen itself. A wild beast that has seen blood will develop an instinctive hunting desire.

"What do other people in the cabinet think?" As usual, Jiajing did not rush to express his opinion, but let everyone speak freely.

At this moment, everyone in the cabinet looked at each other and immediately turned their eyes to Xu Jie, the current second assistant of the cabinet.

After all, the Prime Minister has finished speaking, and it is now the turn of the Second Prime Minister to speak.

Naturally, they could not speak without authorization from Xu Jie. This was the rule in official circles. As senior officials, they were naturally extremely careful about these matters.

Xu Jie did not hesitate, and immediately took a step forward to stand side by side with Yan Song, bowed to Jiajing and said:
"I deeply agree with what Lord Yan said."

“Although our Ming Dynasty’s deployment on Lingxu Island was uprooted this time, and it seems that we have suffered a lot of losses, it is just as Elder Yan said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

"As one rises, the other falls. We learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. Only in this way can our Ming Dynasty surpass others faster and rule the world of immortal cultivation."

As he spoke, Xu Jie's tone paused slightly, and then a hint of spiciness flashed across his eyes, and he said:
"The world of immortal cultivation has existed for an extremely long time."

"This war will last for a long time, and there is no guarantee that some wise people will not see through the dangers of it."

"So, when necessary, the Ming Dynasty will also play the role of a war promoter."

"To ensure that the hatred and war between the major forces continue, and the war in the entire world of immortal cultivation will not stop."

"Until the world of immortal cultivation, the overlord-level giant forces were crippled, the geniuses withered, and it became a real hell on earth!"

"I agree with what Lord Xu said!" At this time, Zhang Juzheng also took a step forward, with a cold expression on his elegant face, and said: "The world of cultivation will sooner or later become the territory of our Ming Dynasty."

"It's like a piece of meat that looks perfect, but is rotting inside."

"It's only a matter of time before war breaks out."

"It's just that the existence of the Spine of Creation gives everyone an opportunity to start a war, break the old rules, and overthrow the old system!"

"Regarding the Spine of Creation, anyone in the world of immortal cultivation who is not stupid can see clearly that this thing will eventually be in the hands of those truly overlord-level giant forces."

"As for the so-called super sects and family forces within a region, all they care about is promotion!"

Move up in career?

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's remarks, everyone, including Yan Song and Xu Jie, nodded thoughtfully.

"In the entire world of cultivation, the distribution of resources has long been uneven, and the top forces are constantly squeezing each other downwards!"

"The academy suppresses the hegemonic forces, and the hegemonic forces suppress those large sects and families."

"Those large sects and families continue to suppress the small and medium-sized sects and families, and so on..."

"One day, the entire world of immortal cultivation will be plunged into war!"

"They are already dissatisfied with the status quo. At this time, they will definitely take advantage of the entire star field being involved in the war to overthrow the rule of the academy and establish a new order!"

"Such examples can be found everywhere in the entire world of immortal cultivation."

"And this is the chance for our Great Ming to make war eternal!" Zhang Juzheng's words had just fallen, and Gao Gong took a step forward and said, "All our Great Ming needs to do is break the whole into pieces!"

"If there are overlord-level forces whose goal is only to suppress those smaller than themselves or at the same level as themselves and to annex their resources, rather than to have a destructive mentality," Gao Gong said ruthlessly, "then I, the Ming Dynasty, will help them destroy it!"

"Destroy all that is beautiful."

"Brothers turn against each other, fathers kill their sons, friends become suspicious of each other, and hatred continues from generation to generation..."

"With the determination to destroy our entire race, let this war never end until our Ming Dynasty becomes stronger!"

"I second your proposal!" Zhao Zhenji stopped pretending and said, "Since this piece of rotten meat is already rotten, let it rot completely."

"Then just use a knife to cut it off!"

"After that, when my super king master arrives, I will teach the entire world of immortal cultivation the laws of the previous dynasty."

"The light of my Great Ming will bring light to countless worlds, illuminate the darkness of the world of immortal cultivation, and establish a new order!"

"I second the proposal!" Hu Zongxian also clasped his fists and saluted, saying ruthlessly: "For the greatness of the Ming Dynasty, even if it means that the entire world of immortal cultivation is devastated and all races are exterminated, it will not hesitate!"

"I am willing to bear all the infamy for the Ming Dynasty!"

With the statements made by Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji and other former upright figures, as well as the new party members in the current cabinet, the entire Yuxi Palace was filled with a bloody smell.

After hearing these words from these guys who used to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan, who had not yet had a chance to speak after his father Yan Song, was stunned.

Looking at Xu Jie and others who were ruthless and cold-blooded, who were scheming and using vicious methods, they just felt so familiar.

Well, he seemed to see the shadow of his past self.

Over the past one hundred and eighty years, I have been constantly calming myself down, controlling my temper, and trying to live like a shrewd and resourceful person, allowing myself to constantly settle down.

But in the blink of an eye, how come Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others ended up living like themselves?
Well, judging from the viciousness they just displayed, it can be said that they are much more cruel than their previous selves.

In the past, I was like a simple rookie in front of these so-called "saints" who were clear-minded, careful about their reputation, and full of benevolence and righteousness.

At this time, the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan had only one idea.

That is, "I thought I had grown up, but when I came back, I was still a fucking rookie"!
"I am also willing!"

At this time, the other two members of the New Party, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou, also expressed their positions.

"Father, I am willing to do so!"

Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Prince Gong, Prince An and Prince Ning also expressed their opinions.

After hearing the plan of Yan Song and others, Longyang Immortal Venerable, who was sitting under the Taoist priest, felt a chill in his heart, even though he had lived for 19,000 years and had seen all kinds of ruthless and vicious people.

Thinking of this, Long Yang Xian Zun couldn't help but secretly said: "Sure enough, politicians, no matter which world they are from, are the dirtiest!"

"For the sake of profit, he was willing to sacrifice countless lives, yet he remained calm..."

"Compared with the cruelty of these politicians who turned the world into a purgatory with a single thought, the number of people he killed is simply ridiculous."

"It's just hilarious to say it here."

"Well, after all, the heavens are blind. They don't punish the truly evil people, but instead punish those of us who have failed to overcome the tribulation and have worked hard to be kind and honest."

Although he lived long enough and had seen a lot, he had never come into contact with dynasty officials.

Little do they know that for officials at the pinnacle of power, the longer they stay in high positions, the more they turn into monsters driven by profit. In a moment’s thought, they don’t mind the destruction of all things!
All they want is the results and benefits!
