Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Chapter 340: A century of sedimentation, the greatest wonder of all time, Zhang Juzheng!

The one hundred and seventy year of Jiajing.

Ten years have passed since the war broke out in the 160th year of Jiajing.

Over the past ten years, the four major academies in the world of immortal cultivation have officially gone to war with all the overlord-level giant forces under their command.

The real turmoil officially began.

In Arcturus, within the four central plains, order completely collapsed.

The patriarchal system rules under Confucian rule finally collapsed completely, and the hegemonic giant forces and the academies, with tacit understanding, began to force the large and medium-sized sectarian families to take sides.

All large and medium-sized sects that did not take sides were wiped out.

Afterwards, the grassroots independent cultivators took the opportunity to form an alliance, began to huddle together for warmth, and at the same time frantically attacked and conquered cities.

Murder and robbery, life transplantation, spirit vein trading, and selling spirit stones, these things that are usually strictly prohibited by the academy are now being carried out in broad daylight.

If there is a disagreement, the whole family will be killed or the clan will be destroyed. This happens all the time in the world of cultivating immortals.

Every monk began to release the dark side deep in his heart and started to wreak destruction in this chaotic world.

No one expected that just because of the appearance of the Spine of Creation, no one even knew when the complete Spine of Creation would be collected. Even in this world, it was not certain that a complete Spine of Creation would exist. Then the war began!

No one knows why the war started so triflingly, without any warning, and even in a somewhat absurd way.

The Spine of Creation seemed to be just an excuse for the various forces to start this war.

Of course, this is a simple conclusion reached by some sober people when thinking about this issue.

However, large sects, families, overlord-level giant forces, even the top leaders of the academy, and officials from the Ming cabinet and six ministries who are always observing the world of immortal cultivation, all know why this war started so quickly.

In their view, there was no such thing as a trifling war, nor was there any war without warning, and this war did not seem absurd!

Because everyone knows that the order of the entire cultivation world of Arcturus has long been rigid.

The upper class constantly oppresses the lower class, but there are only so many resources in the entire world of cultivation, and conflicts will break out sooner or later.

Because the higher you go in the cultivation world, the larger the size will be, and the greater the demand will be.

"Let's talk a little deeper," Zhang Juzheng stood in the middle of Yuxi Palace and said, "The nature of the entire world of immortal cultivation is that the upper class is destined to eat the lower class."

"Eventually, we will inevitably face a shortage of resources, which will eventually lead to irreconcilable conflicts within the entire cultivation world."

At this time, in the hall, Yan Song and others nodded slightly as they listened to Zhang Juzheng's words.

In the world of immortal cultivation, war has completely spread to the entire Arcturus, almost every inch of land. However, for Daming, it only needs to cheat Shangguan and use his body to correct himself.

After all, in the eyes of Zhang Juzheng and other officials, the Ming Dynasty will eventually unify the entire world of immortal cultivation. So the situation that the world of immortal cultivation is facing now is actually what the Ming Dynasty also has to face.

However, compared with the world of immortal cultivation, the current Ming Dynasty is still very young, and many internal conflicts can be transferred outside the domain. Just like the entire "Ming Domain" before.

If internal resources are not enough, then Ming Dynasty will need to launch wars against other civilizations outside the region to balance supply and demand.

In this way, internal conflicts will naturally disappear.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all. What if the Ming Dynasty unifies the entire world of immortal cultivation in the future and all civilizations in the universe are conquered?
Therefore, they must plan for the future of the Xian Dynasty in advance.

Now the world of cultivating immortals has completely begun to collapse, which is a good negative example for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Daming has been observing the world of immortal cultivation.

The ministers were constantly discussing privately, or discussing during court sessions, arguing and arguing with each other. They even used some formations to simulate each other.

Simulate again and again, fail again and again, and reshape again to find the future path for Ming Dynasty.

"What is the essence of the turmoil in the world of immortal cultivation?"

Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment, looked around at everyone present, and then said four words:

"Practice system!"

Cultivation system? After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, everyone thought about it for a while and nodded slightly. Zhang Juzheng was right. The essence of the problem facing the world of immortal cultivation now is the cultivation system.

"We all know that if a mortal wants to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, he must first draw Qi into the body and then begin to practice Qi."

While the others listened, Zhang Juzheng continued speaking.

The Immortal Lord Longyang, who was sitting on the side, also nodded slightly.

Even though he is an immortal, he knows nothing about the management of exotic fruits in official circles.

However, he has now entered the court, and this kind of discussion on how to govern the country will be of great benefit to him.

Zhang Juzhe and others were not as accomplished as he was, but in terms of experience as an official and strategies for governing a country, he could not even compare to them.

"When a cultivator's cultivation reaches the foundation-building stage, he will have divine consciousness, and then communicate with the sea of ​​consciousness to see his own destiny. After that, he will look for his own destiny object and make his own destiny and the destiny object become one."

“So the problem arises.”

"As long as you have enough resources to polish your natal item, then the natal item will make up for the shortcomings of your natal item."

"After the life force is replenished, the cultivator's cultivation level and cultivation speed will continue to improve."

"In this way, theoretically speaking, all cultivators who have gone from being mortals to becoming immortals can achieve enlightenment as long as they have enough resources along the way!"

"From this point of view, it's not a bad thing in itself, but if a large group of people with high cultivation levels gather together and form a unified force, then the resources will be occupied by this group of people."

“Others followed suit.”

"This is how the current structure of the world of immortal cultivation was formed."

"The more powerful a force is, the more resources it needs to cultivate more people in order to strengthen itself and ensure its power in the world of cultivation!"

"Therefore, the fundamental reason why the entire world of immortal cultivation is in turmoil is because of the cultivation system!"

"This cultivation system is too smooth for the process of going from a mortal to an immortal. And for those top forces, it is too advantageous."

"It is precisely because of these that resources are scarce!" Having said this, Zhang Juzheng, under the gaze of everyone, finally looked at Jiajing on the Taotai and bowed:
"Your Majesty, in the future, when our Great Ming Dynasty rules the entire world of immortal cultivation and pacifies the universe, what we will face is not one reform after another, nor will we face conflicts caused by insufficient internal resources and then transfer them outward. These are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause."

After hearing this, the ministers already knew what Zhang Juzheng wanted to say, and their faces became solemn.

Even Longyang Xianzun, who didn't know how to diagnose and treat diseases, frowned at this moment and looked at Zhang Juzheng who was standing in the middle of the hall, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"This person is vicious!" Immortal Venerable Long Yang commented in his heart.

Even Yan Song and Xu Jie, after looking at each other, could see the horror in each other's eyes.

As for the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan, he was staring at Zhang Juzheng as if he was looking at a god.

People all say that he is also a poisonous person, but compared with Zhang Juzheng, he is just a rookie!
Zhang Juzheng was so vicious and cruel that it could be said to be a plan to wipe out the entire family. Yan Shifan asked himself if he could do it, nor did he dare to do it, let alone bring it up openly in the court!
If this strategy is confirmed, the person who proposed it will become the enemy of all the cultivators in the world.

"Therefore, I believe that after my Great Ming Dynasty takes control of the entire world of immortal cultivation, the innate cultivation system should be abolished!"

"For mortals to cultivate immortality, they only need to consider their talent, aptitude, aptitude and understanding. In this way, resources will be inexhaustible."

"Not only that, the world will also be at peace!"

"--boom!"

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, although the ministers had already heard his plan in their hearts, when they really heard it, it still stirred up huge waves in their hearts and they only felt like thunder exploding in their ears.

Abolish the life practice system! ?
What a blatant statement this is!
At this moment, even Hai Rui, who was always upright and known for his stubbornness, could not help but feel his scalp tingling after hearing what Zhang Juzheng said. If the innate cultivation system is abolished, can one still cultivate immortality?
The answer is of course yes, there is no doubt about that, because before knowing their true destiny, these people relied on drawing Qi into their bodies to break through the foundation-building period step by step.

At that time, if they did not choose to bind their natal objects and natal life, and continued to stubbornly practice using cultivation resources and techniques bit by bit, they would certainly be able to make continuous breakthroughs.

During this process, cultivating immortals becomes extremely difficult.

Wealth, friends, Dharma and place are all indispensable!

Everyone cultivates immortality. It is no longer necessary to rely on polishing one's natal objects. As long as there are enough resources, one can continue to improve and move forward until becoming an immortal.

But it requires great luck and great opportunity!

Cultivating immortals will become extremely difficult!
"This method is even more vicious than the innate weapon that poisons the world of immortals!" Lu Fang, who had already been released from the Qiankun Realm, glanced at Zhang Juzheng and said to himself.

"Will the master agree?" Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang glanced towards the platform again inconspicuously.

Just from the point made by Zhang Juzheng, abolishing the innate cultivation system will make the path to immortality more difficult.

This naturally reduces resource consumption.

After all, from now on, if mortals want to cultivate immortality, they can only rely on their innate luck.

If a person has excellent innate physique, is a good candidate for cultivating immortals, and has excellent comprehension, then he can naturally embark on the path to immortality.

But if one is born with a deficient innate physique and poor comprehension, then even if one works hard until death one will ultimately only be at the stage of Qi training and foundation building.

It can be said that this move caused countless mortals to be swept away, and the demand for resources naturally decreased.

When the Great Ming Dynasty unifies the entire world of immortal cultivation and the world is at peace, perhaps the master will really choose to abolish the innate cultivation system for the sake of the stability of the dynasty.

As for the innate cultivation system, perhaps it is not impossible to control it in the hands of a few people. With the ruthlessness of the master, Lu Fang felt that he would definitely do so.

However, what really impressed Lu Fang was that Zhang Juzheng was so stubborn that he openly and brazenly spoke out this plan that would offend everyone.

He didn't know whether Zhang Juzheng was stupid or really stubborn.

Doesn't he know what the consequences would be if he proposed this?
This was a thunderbolt for him.

One day, someone might take advantage of him and push him to the forefront. In the end, in order to appease the anger of the people, the master had to execute him.

The most important thing is that if he did this, even if his master wanted to protect him from the wind and rain, he couldn't do it.

Thinking of the shelter from the wind and rain, Lu Fang became more grateful to his master.

He naturally knew that his natal weapon had been put into use, and that his master had sent him, Li Shizhen and others into the Qiankun Realm to provide them with shelter.

Because at this time, no one can bear it.

This is only based on the premise that the current relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the entire world of immortal cultivation is such that the hostile side will invade sooner or later.

Zhang Juzheng's move was to make no distinction between friend and foe. If anyone in the entire court could take responsibility for this matter, it would be only the master.

However, the person who proposed this move was Zhang Juzheng.

Silence, silence!
At this time, in the entire Yuxi Palace hall, almost everyone dared not breathe, waiting for Jiajing's decision.

Even the immortal Longyang Xianzun held his breath and waited with concern.

For some people who can be said to have achieved enlightenment, abolishing their innate immortal cultivation system does not matter at all.

For example, Immortal Lord Longyang and everyone present here today.

At that time, they had reached the end of the road of cultivation. By the time the Ming Dynasty unified the entire world of cultivation, unified the universe, and implemented the new laws mentioned by Zhang Juzheng, they had already become immortals.

Besides, even if it is their family, it won’t have much impact if they do this.

To abolish the innate immortal cultivation system will only abolish it for the vast majority of people. At most, the heirs of their respective families will not abolish it, thus ensuring the eternity of the family.

Thinking of this, everyone felt somewhat comforted.

Of course, at this moment, a few people like Yan Song, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhenji and others did not have much inner fluctuations.

They knew that the emperor would not agree openly. Zhang Juzheng's method was still far away.

The person who proposed this law may be Zhang Juzheng, but it is not certain who will ultimately implement it.

Perhaps the person who needs to face this problem at that time may be the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"It seems that I am really old. Even Zhang Juzheng can't see through me..." Yan Song sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Jie was also staring at Zhang Juzheng with complicated eyes.

I don't understand what he wants to do.

At this moment, no one knew why such a smart man like Zhang Juzheng would behave like this.

However, Zhang Juzheng stood in the main hall, quietly waiting for Jiajing's reply, with no emotion visible on his face.

At this step, he knew what he and the entire Zhang family would face in the future. However, he was not a stupid person and had his own plans and plots.

Over the years, from the 52nd year of Jiajing when he was demoted to Nanjing to the 170th year of Jiajing, there is a gap of 110 years in between.

After a hundred years of development, Zhang Juzheng has been secretly planning and perfecting his destiny. Well, his destiny is a blank ancient book with "Great Ming" written on it.

This book records all his ideas on governing the country! And the natal object he polished is his own ideas on governing the country.

Now, his natal object has been polished to a perfect stage, and all he needs is a reform.

An unprecedented reform!

He had a premonition that by then his cultivation would, with the help of the Immortal Dynasty at that time, instantly break through to the Mahayana stage, and then he would become an immortal on the spot. And no one knew all this except the emperor.

At this moment, he was opening his heart to the emperor.

He is willing to preside over the reform of the future Immortal Dynasty on his own. As long as he becomes an immortal, the Zhang family will be able to live a worry-free life even if they withdraw from the pinnacle of power and become an ordinary immortal cultivation family.

In the future, when the emperor becomes an immortal, the Immortal Dynasty will surely welcome a new emperor. A new emperor means new ministers, and the position of the crown prince may not necessarily be the King An whom he supports now.

But he has to think about his family.

Therefore, like Yan Song, he also thought about retiring in advance.

After all, the Ming Dynasty today is similar to the Sui and Tang dynasties in ancient times, with the imperial court and the aristocratic families ruling the world.

In the end, the aristocratic immortal families will definitely be completely eliminated, and they will definitely not be allowed to control the imperial court.

Think twice before becoming an official.

What does it mean to think three times? Thinking three times means to think about danger, retreat, and change.

How could someone in his position not think of this truth?

By the time the new law is implemented, the Zhang family will probably have already produced several immortals. At that time, after the cultivation world is cut off, how many people can threaten the Zhang family?

And this is Zhang Juzheng’s real plan!
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng had already grown to the position and mindset that he should have in the original course of history.
