Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

"The Emperor actually deposed the Crown Prince?"

"Ten days later, the gods will judge the prince. Did I hear that correctly?"

"Is this the treatment that people like us at the bottom of society can enjoy?!"

"Sure enough, the emperor still cares about us!"

"..."

As Jiajing issued a statement to the heavens, all the races and creatures began to discuss it. Of course, what they were most looking forward to was the public trial of Crown Prince Zhu Zaigui in ten days.

Ten days passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, time has come to the day of the public trial of the heavens that all races have been looking forward to.

The person being tried in public this time is the crown prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zaigui, and it is to be witnessed by all living beings in the heavens and all races, so the location was chosen on the Ming Plateau!
With the abolition of the ability training system, now on the Destiny Plateau, the people who planted the Destiny in the Destiny fields were no longer outsiders except the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

"Boom!"

As the huge golden light curtain fell, the cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, and all the immortals were present.

Of course, in addition to the current high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, those who came to watch the ceremony also included many provincial governors and representatives of some immortal sects in the heavens.

After everyone was in place, Jiajing appeared with Lu Fang, and of course, Hai Rui, the chief judge of the day, also appeared with them.

Although the prince is so noble that ordinary officials, except the emperor, are not qualified to interrogate him, but today he has to give an explanation to all the creatures in heaven and earth, so Jiajing will naturally not come to interrogate him in person.

Everything is determined by the law.

It must be fair and just!

The purpose is to make all the people in the heavens and all races have confidence in the imperial court and know that there is still room for reason.

Therefore, it would be most appropriate for Hai Rui to come forward.

Everyone knows that today is the final stage of the elimination of the original cultivation system.

Zhu Zaigui's position as crown prince must be abolished.

However, abolishing the throne of the crown prince is only the beginning. After all, the path to immortality for all races and living beings in the heavens has been completely cut off.

The court must give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

“I bow to the Supreme Great Luo Celestial Being/Purple Extreme Immortal/Holy Wisdom/The Ruler of the Three Origins/The Proven Jade Void/The Chief of the Five Thunders/Xuandu Realm/Emperor of Longevity, may my holy emperor rest in peace.”

Of course, at this moment, those who knelt down and praised Jiajing at the same time were not only the people on the plateau, but also all the races in the Ming Dynasty.

Today, Jiajing is the will of the entire Ming Dynasty. Under the operation of the imperial seal, no living being is allowed to be disrespectful to Jiajing.

Therefore, all living beings should pay their respects at this moment.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Jiajing looked around the void, as if he saw the scene of all the races in the heavens kneeling to him. He nodded slightly and said, "I am fine, everyone stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After everyone stood up, Jiajing waved his hand, and a huge semicircular open-air courtroom appeared.

Circle after circle, in the front of the circle, is Emperor Jiajing sitting at the top, and on the left and right sides are the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department, as well as the six new officials who have come to power.

Then, extending outward in circles, were the governors of the Ming Dynasty and some representatives of the immortal sects.

At this time, at the bottom of the courtroom, there was a huge desk, and opposite the desk was also a desk.

Hai Rui, dressed in a red robe, sat upright on a chair.

On Hai Rui's left stood Chen Hong and Huang Jin from the Imperial Household Department, and on his right stood Lu Bing and his son Lu Yi.

"...Your Majesty." Hai Rui stood up and looked at Jiajing, but before he could speak, Jiajing took the lead and said, "Let's begin."

"Yes!"

Almost at the moment Jiajing finished speaking, the imperial seal started to rotate, and under the will of the heavens, a screen similar to a live broadcast appeared in front of every living being of all races and races.

"Is this, live broadcast?!" The two worlds have been sharing what they have for more than two thousand years. The Ming Dynasty's spiritual network, some technological products, culture, etc. have long since formed a great fusion.

The creatures in the world of immortal cultivation are naturally no strangers to the live broadcasts, film and television dramas, short videos, etc. that have emerged in the main world of the Ming Dynasty.

What all the creatures in the heavens and on earth did not expect was that the imperial court actually showed the utmost sincerity in this public trial of the prince.

Not only must an explanation be given to all living beings of all races and a public trial be held, but live broadcasting will also be allowed, and these creatures can also freely post comments and express their opinions at any time.

This can be said to be completely open and transparent.

For a moment, no one knew who was the first to send a comment on the barrage, but then all of them were praising Jiajing.

"Good Emperor!"

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Now I finally see the embodiment of this saying!"

"The Emperor is in seclusion, the Crown Prince is regent, the Crown Prince is confused!"

"I hope the existence of the prince will not be a stain on the emperor. What a good emperor..."

"..."

All living beings expressed their opinions on the whole incident on the screen in front of them.

Of course, there are also many people who are staring at the high-ranking officials on the plateau who are rarely seen on weekdays.

After all, those who were able to go to the plateau today and participate in the public trial of the prince were all truly high-ranking officials.

Moreover, the current Ming Dynasty governs all races in the heavens, and all living beings know very well what being a local governor means.

If these big shots present here stamp their feet at will, all the great powers in the heavens and the world will tremble.

"Bring it, Zhu Zai'e!"

As Hai Rui's Jintang Wood fell, a calm voice without any emotion came out of his mouth.

"Is this person Hai Rui? I heard that he is known as Hai Gangfeng and Hai Bijia. He is a truly good official."

"As expected of Hai Rui, he actually dares to address the prince by his name!"

"That's enough for the above. You should know that the emperor abolished his position as crown prince ten days ago. To put it bluntly, he is now a commoner."

"Hai Rui is the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, so why can't I call him by his name?"

"Here it comes, is that the former prince?"

"I heard that this prince is also a kind and benevolent heir. I can't understand why he would do such a thing!"

"To be honest, I don't understand why this prince would risk the wrath of the world and damage the immortal path of all living beings in the heavens and myriad races. Is he crazy?"

"Logically speaking, he is already the crown prince of the new dynasty. He only needs to wait for the emperor to ascend to the immortal world and then he will be the new emperor."

"Why do we have to do these things at this critical moment? Even if the crown prince is arrogant for a while, there shouldn't be any fools among his staff. Can't they persuade them a little?"

"In short, there must be something big going on here. Just wait and see. There will definitely be a conclusion during today's public trial!"

"..." Hai Rui naturally didn't know what everyone was discussing. Looking at Zhu Zaigui, who was sitting opposite him in a bright yellow formal suit and looked unspeakably calm, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

In fact, if Hai Rui were to be fair, among the emperor's many sons, only this one was more suitable to be the crown prince.

However, for the sake of the Xian Dynasty's reform and the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty, a prince must be sacrificed.

"Zhu Zaigui, do you admit to the charges of abolishing the innate cultivation system, replacing it with the spiritual root system, and severing the path to immortality for all living beings?" Hai Rui asked, calming down.

"Admit it, why not?" Zhu Zaigui smiled as he looked around the huge courtroom, and then looked into the void. At this moment, he seemed to be looking into the eyes of all the races in the heavens.

Then he turned his gaze to Hai Rui opposite him and said, "But I don't regret doing this."

"Even if I had to do it again ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times, I would still choose to abolish my innate cultivation system!"

Zhu Zaigui's voice was not loud, but his words sounded no less than a thunderclap to everyone at that moment.

After a brief moment of astonishment, there was even stronger anger!
"What a vicious person!"

"As the prince of the Immortal Dynasty, you actually want to harm the people. You are simply, simply, unworthy of being a human being!"

"Doesn't he understand that the immortal cultivation system is the foundation of the immortal path, and even more so the foundation of the imperial court?!"

"How could the emperor have such a child..."

"This man's existence is a disgrace to the royal family. He is not worthy of being the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

All the powerful people on the entire plateau know the reason for everything and why they want to abolish the innate cultivation system.

Hai Rui naturally knew this very well.

Even when Zhang Juzheng proposed the national policy of abolishing the innate cultivation system, he was the first one to take the initiative to stand in front of the emperor and openly support it!

Because he understood that the existence of his innate cultivation system would be a time bomb for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the power of this bomb will increase little by little as time goes by!

Until one day, the Ming Dynasty followed the old path of the previous world of immortal cultivation, order collapsed, and there was no way to save the situation!

Why can the Ming Dynasty cultivate the immortal world together?
Is it because of the innate weapon, or is it because the upper level keeps suppressing the lower level, eventually causing the entire order to collapse?
No, not all!
The most fundamental reason is the existence of the natal system!

This cultivation system, in terms of cultivation resources, is like a Pixiu that can only eat but not vomit!
The world of cultivating immortals is so vast, and the resources are so abundant, but the final dilemma is that there are not enough resources.

Is it really not enough?
No, because all the resources for cultivating immortals will be divided up by the major forces. And the number of creatures with the qualifications for cultivating immortals is constantly increasing. It is self-evident what the result will be!
All it takes is a fuse and a powerful external enemy, and the entire world of cultivation will naturally begin to disintegrate from within, and finally collapse with a loud bang!
Hai Rui didn't want the Ming Dynasty to go down this path.

However, these powerful and high-ranking officials know many truths, but wanting all living beings in the world to accept them is another matter. After all, it directly harms everyone's interests.

Therefore, today he wanted to make every living being realize the necessity of abolishing the innate cultivation system. He did not expect all the creatures to accept it, but at least he wanted them to understand.

"Your Highness, it's up to you..." Hai Rui said secretly in his heart as he looked at Zhu Zaigui, who was ready to explain his motives to the world.

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" At this moment, Zhu Zaigui simply stopped sitting and stood up, opened his arms, looked around the sky, and sneered:
"Do you know that if you don't abolish your innate cultivation system, one day in the future, you, the lowly building ants, will be the first to die!"

These words could be said to have cursed all the living beings of all races who were watching the public trial at that moment.

"Too arrogant!"

"This madman, who is so shameless, must be executed! His existence is simply a disgrace to the emperor..."

"Listen, he seems to think he did the right thing!"

"..."

Amid the angry curses of the myriad races in the heavens, Zhu Zaigui took a deep breath, put down his hands, and then laughed at himself and said:
"In the Ming world, the myriad races in the Ming domain don't understand me. I can understand that!"

"But what I can't understand is that the people in the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Northern and Southern Stars, and the Three Enclosures' world of immortal cultivation don't understand it either!"

"Do you know why my Ming Dynasty can suppress you so easily?" Zhu Zaigui raised his hand and pointed at the void, as if he was pointing at every living being in the heavens and myriad races.

"Because of the strange plague?"

"Or do you think it's because of the many overlord-level giant forces fighting each other? Internal disunity?"

"Wrong!" Zhu Zaiqi shouted, and then said loudly: "The source of everything and all evil is this life system!"

"boom!!!"

When the words fell, it was like the sound of a huge bell, buzzing in the ears of every living being.

Especially the myriad races and creatures in the original world of immortal cultivation.

Before this, they had never thought about it from this perspective. Why did the Xiuxian world lose to the Ming Dynasty?

In fact, in the thousands of years after the war, many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation had free conversations after meals.

Many people are summarizing the reasons for the defeat.

There are only two mainstream opinions.

The first is the rampage of the natal plague. The second is the mutual attacks and lack of unity among the overlord-level giant forces.

Of course, there are a few people who believe that it is the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation that are constantly squeezing each other downward, causing many low-level cultivators and sect families to have no way out and almost no way to survive.

Therefore, everyone wants to eliminate all the top forces, and everyone is united in hatred of the enemy.

In addition, after the Ming Dynasty entered the world, it implemented benevolent policies towards the lower-level cultivators and small and medium-sized sects and families, and subdued all forces such as the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Northern and Southern Stars, etc., which led to the defeat of the Three Enclosures.

For the lower-level cultivators and people from small and medium-sized sects and families at that time, it no longer mattered whether the world of immortal cultivation would be invaded and then ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

They just want the upper class to die!

But now, the prince of the Ming Dynasty actually told them that the reason why the Ming Dynasty ruled the world of immortal cultivation and won the war was because of the innate cultivation system? !
This... isn't it a bit too ridiculous?
You know, if it weren't for those upper-class forces monopolizing the resources and having their own innate cultivation system, it could be said that everyone of these creatures of all races had the potential to ascend to become immortals!
The innate cultivation system is extremely beneficial to the cultivator's path to immortality.

Does it have to be like today, where everyone changes to the so-called spiritual root system, for it to be good? Bullshit!
Spiritual root system: many people are born without spiritual roots, so naturally they have no possibility of cultivating immortals.

In fact, if the quality of the spiritual roots is not good, for some people, they may stop at the foundation-building stage in their lifetime.

Well, the foundation-building stage is considered high.

I am afraid that in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can become powerful, and those in the Qi Refining Stage can dare to call themselves ancestors.

The emergence of the spiritual root system can be said to have directly lowered the overall level of cultivation by several levels.

When I think that tens of thousands of years later, any so-called Qi Refining Level 9 person who appears dares to call himself the ancestor, and any ant in the Foundation Establishment Stage can say that he is a certain great man.

All living beings feel like they have eaten a fly at this moment.

"Even if I can't see your faces now, I know what you fools are thinking now!" Zhu Zaigui sneered, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Zhu Zaigui seemed to have a kind of domineering attitude, as if to ask the heavens, who dares to argue with me!
