Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Chapter 332: Major breakthrough in the life transplantation laboratory? Life weapon

"what?!"

Upon hearing Princess Fuguang's words, Li Changqing was stunned and his brain buzzed.

Being cheated! This was his first reaction.

No, he never seemed to admit that he was from the Ming Palace. It was just my wishful thinking! This was the second reaction.

However, without the support of Miwa Mansion, how did Zhu Cong break through from a mortal to the Mahayana stage in such a short time? Where did he get the resources?
This is Li Changqing’s third reaction!

In addition, for a mortal to become a Mahayana cultivator, the total time of practice is only a little over a hundred years.

Even if he had some kind of adventure behind him and obtained a large amount of resources, it is not certain that he could break through to the Mahayana stage so quickly, right?

What kind of existence is his true destiny?
No, even if one's destiny is against heaven, it is absolutely impossible for him to break through from a mortal to the Mahayana stage in just over a hundred years!
"Mr. Li?" Li Changqing, who was in a daze, was brought back to reality by the voice of Princess Fuguang.

"...Princess." Li Changqing came back to his senses and looked at Princess Fuguang with some apology.

“Heh,” seeing Li Changqing looking a little dazed, Fu Guang couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “It seems that Mr. Li has been deceived.”

"But this person actually dared to pretend to be someone from the Ming Palace to commit fraud, and the person he committed fraud against was a figure like Mr. Li. I think he is also a man of great courage. I am very curious."

“If there really is no one named Zhu Cong in the Ming Palace, and he entered Arcturus under a pseudonym, then even I am extremely curious about this person’s origins…” Li Changqing smiled and shook his head, then took a deep breath, his eyes distant, as if recalling something.

After a moment, he began to tell Princess Fuguang the whole story of how he met "Jiajing" in a leisurely tone.

Well, for Li Changqing, the reason why he went to the Ming Palace this time was entirely because of the previous agreement with Jiajing. With this familiar relationship, he was more confident in surrendering to the Ming Palace.

At this time, he and the Ming Palace had reached a cooperation and signed a blood contract, and what he wanted had been achieved.

As for whether Zhu Cong was from the Ming Palace, it was no longer important to Li Changqing. At most, he felt that he had been fooled by someone before and felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he quickly dispelled this discomfort, thinking that he was not as skilled as others and should not blame others.

As the saying goes, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit because it thinks it has everything under control, and the other party is playing tricks on it because of its arrogance.

Fortunately, what I want is always within my control, so there is nothing to lose.

Li Changqing has now sensed that the world of immortal cultivation will usher in a major change. Even the White Horse Academy will not be able to escape the risk of destruction.

He has already gotten what he wanted and is ready to withdraw from the game. What happens in the future has nothing to do with him.

The relationship with Zhu Cong is no longer a secret, and it is ambiguous whether to tell it or not.

Since Princess Fuguang is curious, it would be fine to just tell her about it as a casual conversation.

Soon, Li Changqing told Princess Fuguang the whole story of his acquaintance with Jiajing in detail.

"From a mortal to a Mahayana cultivator, the time of cultivation is only a little over a hundred years at most?"

After listening to Li Changqing's story, Princess Fuguang's originally calm face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

A pair of bright eyes that seemed to see through everything, revealing a strong curiosity.

"To be able to achieve such a fast breakthrough speed, it is no longer a matter of whether the resources can keep up with the strength of one's innate talent," Fu Guang said, affirming:

"I think this person must have a great destiny!"

"Moreover, I dare to conclude that if his wonderful fate were announced to the public before the Spine of Creation appeared, the entire world of immortal cultivation would go crazy for him alone."

"Unfortunately, in today's world of immortal cultivation, everyone has been blinded by the temptation of the Spine of Creation."

"And among the major forces, all want to use this great turmoil to achieve their own goals and reshuffle the forces of all parties, so that the weak can move up and the strong can become stronger."

“Even if it is revealed that this Zhu Cong has a great destiny that can allow a mortal to break through to the Mahayana stage in just over a hundred years, it is estimated that the waves it will cause will not be too big.”

"He is truly blessed!" Princess Fuguang's bright eyes shone with excitement as she spoke.

"Is the princess interested in this person?" Li Changqing naturally saw the Princess Fuguang's curiosity about Zhu Cong.

"Well," Princess Fuguang nodded and said to Li Changqing bluntly, "I wonder if Mr. Li can introduce me?"

"If this person is willing, he can move his entire clan to the Ziwei Star Region. The Ming Palace is willing to cover the losses of his Daming Immortal Sect in this world."

Li Changqing saw that Princess Fuguang was very interested in Zhu Cong, and even guessed that she might be able to win over Zhu Cong.

However, he still underestimated Princess Fuguang's interest and actually asked directly to let Zhu Cong join the Prince Ming's Palace.

But if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Putting aside Zhu Cong's own curious fate, just based on his current Mahayana cultivation level, he is not unqualified to join the Mingwang Palace, and is even more than qualified.

As for the little wealth of the Great Ming Immortal Sect in the southeast corner of the Great Wilderness, in the eyes of the Ming Palace, it is not worth mentioning at all.

If one can attract a Mahayana cultivator who has great fortune, a special destiny, and unlimited potential for the future, then a little bit of resources as a gift will not be a big deal!
"I am willing to serve the princess," Li Changqing nodded with a smile, but he did not finish his words. Instead, he said, "But, whether it will succeed or not, I dare not guarantee it."

"This person is not simple. When dealing with him, the princess should be careful and don't fall into his trap."

As he spoke, Li Changqing couldn't help but think of the calm temperament that he had whenever he came into contact with Jiajing since he met her, and his tone gradually became solemn.

"My intuition tells me that this 'Zhu Cong' is a very greedy person. The princess should be very familiar with this kind of greed. It is different from personal greed. It is the greed that only the powerful and wealthy in the dynasty have!"

"Also, the temperament that he inadvertently revealed in his every move gave me a sense of royal nobility."

“And this is one of the reasons why I dared to conclude that the other party was from the Ming Palace!”

"Perhaps, the other party is really from my Zhu family," Princess Fuguang smiled and said:
"But you'll know when you meet."

After hearing what Li Changqing said, Princess Fuguang became more and more curious about this person called "Zhu Cong".

Seeing that the princess was so confident, Li Changqing said no more.

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty world, inside Yuxi Palace.

Jiajing stood by the window of the study, looking at the heavy rain outside, smelling the scent of the earth, his eyes heavy.

"I have cultivated to the Mahayana stage, and my life span is almost infinite. The next step is to become a true immortal."

"However, becoming an immortal is just the beginning for me. In the first half of my life, I devoted the whole country's strength to pursue becoming an immortal and achieving immortality..."

"Now, becoming an immortal is within my reach."

"But I am the emperor after all, a descendant of the Zhu family, and I am responsible for the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"So, the matter of becoming an immortal has come to an end now," Jiajing thought to himself, his eyes gradually becoming firm, "Next, my goal is to expand my territory."

"Unify the entire universe, and then enter the fairyland!"

It was cloudy and rainy. This heavy rain lasted for half a month in September of the 155th year of Jiajing.

In the past half month, the world of immortal cultivation has become more and more lively, and all major forces are ready to make a move.

Some overlord-level giant forces have begun to consolidate their own territories. The immortal cultivation world of Arcturus, the four major academies, and the large and small academies in the world of the surrounding star groups held a meeting, which was also called the internal Confucian meeting.

As for those dominant sects and families that were comparable to the four major academies or a certain family, they were all excluded.

After all, Arcturus and Dakang are the worlds of immortal cultivation governed by Confucian rules. In the face of the impending great turmoil, Confucian academies must unite as one.

However, the dominant forces under the major academies were not surprised at this.

The emergence of the Spine of Creation and the fate of many forces outside the domain have made them realize that unless the Academy can obediently hand over the Spine of Creation, the other top forces outside the domain that are no worse than the Academy, or even stronger than the Academy, will definitely not give up.

And will never withdraw from Arcturus easily!

However, even if the academy's top management wanted to hand over the Spine of Creation to calm things down, those immortals would certainly not agree.

This is an unsolvable knot.

And even if the academy wants to hand over the Spine of Creation, the overlord-level giants who have long been dissatisfied with the academy and want to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power will certainly not easily let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to overthrow the academy's rule in one fell swoop.

At this point, there is only a thin layer of window paper left between the two sides. Once this layer of window paper is broken, it will be a fight to the death.

Amid such major changes, no one has paid attention to the feud between Yan Shifan and the Prince of Han's Palace.

Dazhu Academy was decisive. They recorded the entire process of destroying the Jin family manor and searching for Yan Shifan on a photo stone. They also packed up the eunuchs' bodies and sent them to the Prince of Han's Palace.

The request of the Prince of Han's Palace to send troops to the Western Continent was directly rejected in name.

When the Han Palace looked at the eunuch corpses sent back by Dazhu Academy, the first thing that came to their mind was naturally the actions of other kings behind all this.

In addition, the entire world of immortal cultivation will inevitably be involved in a great war, so they will not act rashly.

The situation in the entire world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus is complicated and undercurrents are surging, and many cultivators have begun to stick together for warmth.

Some powerful independent cultivators even broke into the outskirts of some forbidden areas early and closed themselves off.

Of course, there are also some independent cultivators who think they have enough strength and want to seek wealth and fame by taking risks. They take advantage of this great turmoil to become heroes of the times.

The patriarchal system customized by the academy made some new sects, which had not yet reached three generations, feel anxious all day long.

Because they know that once the war breaks out, the academy will probably be unable to take care of itself, and no one will follow the rules it has set.

The various sects, big and small, would inevitably engage in a war in an instant, with the big eating the small and the small eating even smaller.

For a time, the entire world of immortal cultivation was in panic.

Regarding the situation in the world of immortal cultivation, Jiajing's eldest disciple, Xu Shixing, almost always reported to the plateau. And the person who contacted Xu Shixing also changed from Di Xi to Lu Fang.

However, compared to other sects, big and small, which are in constant fear, the Daming Immortal Sect is relatively stable.

After all, everyone in the sect now knows that their leader is a Mahayana cultivator.

Even if the entire world of immortal cultivation is involved in a war, as long as the Daming Immortal Sect guards its own territory and does not participate in the war, I think not many sects will dare to bully them.

A sect with a Mahayana master in charge is, no matter what, at the top of the food chain.

Those overlord-level giant forces are all ambitious and want to concentrate on dealing with the academy. Naturally, they would not seek trouble by rashly offending a Mahayana cultivator at this time.

So, relatively speaking, the Daming Immortal Sect is not very worried.

"Master..." At this time, Lu Fang walked in from outside, with an indescribable look of surprise on his face. He quickly came to Jia Jian's back and said:

"There is a major breakthrough in the natal experiment!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Lu Fang's words, Jiajing turned around and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Regarding the research on the innate nature of cultivators, there has been no major discovery since the last discovery that the innate talents of Li Ming and Li Baole, father and son, can be passed down.

Jiajing didn't care much about it.

After all, the main goal of the Ming Dynasty has always been to conquer foreign lands and prepare for the invasion of the world of immortal cultivation. The research on this life is just better than nothing, just a long-term investment.

It is just like some wealthy businessmen in later generations who invested heavily in medical technology, hoping to develop elixirs of immortality and prolong life.

Just research. If they can come up with something useful, that would be great. But if they can’t, that little bit of investment doesn’t matter to them.

Therefore, after handing it over to Lu Fang to look after, he no longer asked about it, and Lu Fang naturally didn't take it too seriously.

I just occasionally go to take a look at the reports submitted by the laboratory and some experimental data.

Later, the Qiankun Realm was created and the laboratory was moved to the Qiankun Realm. Due to the speed of time flow, we thought that after hundreds of years of research, there would be discoveries, but in the end there was still no breakthrough.

There was never any major breakthrough in Benming's various experiments and research, so Lu Fang paid little attention to it afterwards.

What Jiajing didn't expect was that this time there was a major breakthrough.

Well, since Lu Fang took it so seriously and came to report to me in person, I guess there must have been a great breakthrough in my research on my destiny.

For a moment, Jiajing became interested.

What Ming Dynasty had to do next was to wait for the Cabinet, the six ministries, and the kings to come up with a feasible plan on how to take advantage of the chaos in the world of immortal cultivation and profit from this war for Ming Dynasty.

As for cultivation, Jiajing has now reached the Mahayana stage, so he doesn't need to worry too much and has some free time.

Thinking of the great breakthrough in his research on his destiny, he looked at Lu Fang and said, "Tell me, what kind of breakthrough is it?"

As he was talking, Jiajing leisurely came to the desk, spread out the paper, picked up the pen and started writing.

"Master, Li Shizhen is now the general manager of the Benming Laboratory. The team he leads includes scientists Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Jan Schwanmerdam, who were both from the Dutch Provincial Government, and Robert Hooke, who was from the British Provincial Government."

"Ten years ago, these four people applied for a cultivation reward, hoping to break through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"They said they had important ideas for the research on my destiny," Lu Fang paused for a moment, glanced at the calm Jiajing, and then said, "I approved their application."

"I have transferred some of my cultivation from the Mingyuan Plateau, and also spent some resources to help a few people break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

As Lu Fang spoke, his voice gradually became quieter.

Well, in terms of Qiankun Realm and some authority of the imperial seal, Jiajing delegated power to Lu Fang and the cabinet.

For example, the cultivation time of the Qiankun Mirror can be freely arranged by Lu Fang and the cabinet within a thousand years.

There is also the authority of the Emperor's Seal on the Mingming Plateau. Lv Fang, the seal supervisor, is responsible for this aspect. It is completely possible to allocate some resources to those who the court needs to focus on training.

However, considering that the natal laboratory was not among the court's key development projects, Lu Fang was still worried that his master would blame him for allocating resources to these people without authorization.

"This is the authority I give you," Jiajing said without even nodding his head, "Continue."

"Yes," Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "These four people are the most outstanding talents in the field of biology in our Ming Dynasty."

“Therefore, after they broke through the Nascent Soul stage, they moved the laboratory to the Qiankun Realm and spent a thousand years conducting research.”

"After coming out, they spent another ten years on the Benming Plateau to conduct tests and final verification. Just now, they presented the summary of this thousand-year-long breakthrough."

After briefly explaining the process, Lu Fang took a deep breath, held the imperial seal in both hands, and said to Jiajing:
"They discovered that in the world of immortal cultivation, if you trace back to their origins, the destiny of all cultivators can be considered to be of the same lineage."

"Not only that, they also discovered a variety of special energies from their own destiny, as well as a kind of rule power. If they can extract it and make it into a destiny weapon and release it to the entire world of immortal cultivation..."

“Perhaps, it can make all the cultivators who cultivate their own destiny instantly become mortals, or disabled people, or even dead people!”

"...Swish!" As soon as Lu Fang finished speaking, the pen in Jiajing's hand suddenly made a stroke.

A long ink mark was drawn on the snow-white paper, indicating Jiajing's inner uneasiness at the moment.

"..."
