Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

"If you have any objections, come and argue!"

Zhu Zaigui looked around at Hai Rui and the many officials present.

At this moment, all the people in the heavens and all races were stunned when they saw the extremely domineering Zhu Zaigui on the live broadcast interface in front of them.

They didn't expect that this former crown prince, whose position had already been abolished, could still be so arrogant.

After hearing what Zhu Zaigui said, all the ministers lowered their heads and remained silent.

Debate? Debate about what?
Is it their turn to debate?
The main players today are Hai Rui and the Crown Prince, and none of them are qualified to interrogate the Crown Prince.

What was even more clear to everyone present was that the so-called debate was nothing more than clarifying the basis for the abolition of the innate cultivation system through the subsequent dialogue with Hai Rui.

So although Crown Prince Zhu Zaigui seemed to be inviting all beings in heaven to come and debate, he was actually just inviting Hai Rui.

"No need to provoke me, just answer directly." Hai Rui remained calm as he spoke slowly, "You said that the abolition of the innate cultivation system is for the benefit of all living beings. What is your basis for this?"

"Basis?" Zhu Zaigui sneered, looked at Hai Rui, and said, "In the beginning, after the ancestor of creation opened up the two worlds of immortals and humans, the immortal world disappeared. From the very beginning, the cultivators in the human world explored their own potential, resonated with the heaven and earth, and cultivated to become immortals..."

As Zhu Zaigui's voice sounded, especially the indigenous people of the world of immortal cultivation, were naturally familiar with this history.

They know that in the beginning, there was no such thing as a system of cultivating immortals by one's own destiny in the world of cultivating immortals. All living beings of all races and races took the path of cultivating immortals by tapping their own potential.

It was not until the first cultivator who discovered his own destiny appeared in the world that the system of cultivating one's own destiny began to become popular.

But this also proves the power of the innate cultivation system.

The world of cultivating immortals can have the vast foundation it has today because only cultivators in the Jindan stage dare to establish a sect, cultivators in the Yuanying stage do not dare to be too high-profile, and only cultivators in the Shenhua stage can consider themselves as strong.

What does this mean? This means that the life practice system makes the immortal path more prosperous and powerful.

The most important thing is that the existence of the innate cultivation system makes ascending to immortality not just a dream for everyone. It gives every cultivator unlimited possibilities on the path to immortality.

Almost every ten or twenty years, a cultivator in the immortal cultivation world will ascend to the immortal world in the Mahayana stage.

Now you, Zhu Zaigui, abolish it and replace it with the spiritual root system. Isn't this a step backward in history?

Is this to let everyone live farther and farther with you?
It's easy for you, Zhu Zaigui, to say it. You are the crown prince and you have unlimited resources from the royal family. Have you ever thought about us?

If there is no innate system, wouldn't the path to immortality be cut off?
"Afterwards, the first group of powerful cultivators began to form their own sects and families..." Zhu Zaigui naturally didn't know what the creatures in the heavens and myriad races were thinking, nor could he see the insults in the barrage, and continued to explain his own principles.

"Then, the upper echelons of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Northern and Southern Stars, and the Three Enclosures were formed!"

"A power tower has emerged from top to bottom, with layers of oppression appearing, and the class has been solidified since then!" When he said this, Zhu Zaigui sneered and said:
"You all claim that your innate cultivation system has brought you the hope of ascending to immortality. Some even say that in the world of immortal cultivation, a cultivator who ascends to immortality appears every ten years or so."

"But you should ask yourselves, among these immortal cultivators who have ascended to become immortals, how many of them came from the bottom?"

"Almost all of them are those overlord-level giant forces, large sects, families, or people who have submitted to these forces, or individual families and sects."

"How many of them are from your qualified sects or families, or are they independent cultivators?"

This questioning suddenly made all the creatures in the heavens and on earth, who were full of abuse and ridicule, suddenly quiet down.

Everyone stopped at this moment.

At this time, someone suddenly posted on the spiritual network the number of people who had ascended to become immortals in the past 100,000 years.

Of course, this post also lists the backgrounds of these ascenders in detail.

For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar!
"The Ancient Dynasty of Tianlong, the Ancient Dynasty of Tianqiong, the Ancient Dynasty of Juntian, the Ancient Dynasty of Fuyao, the Ancient Dynasty of Suzaku..."

After seeing the backgrounds of those who ascended to heaven in the past 100,000 years revealed on the spiritual internet, some people couldn't help but read them out one by one.

"They are all overlord-level giant forces with a heritage of more than 100,000 years..."

"Langhuan World, Zifu Donghua Holy Land, Chimingyang River Sect, Cangming Longyuan World...hiss, it is rumored that the people in Cangming Longyuan World are all descendants of the ancient true dragon..."

"In one hundred thousand years, more than 6,500 people have ascended to heaven!"

"Don't be silly. Among the more than 6,500 people who have ascended in the past 100,000 years, almost all of them are from the overlord-level sects and some large sects with deep foundations!"

"Only six of them came from small and medium-sized forces, but these forces, more or less, all had wealthy ancestors, or were related to a large clan. This..."

"As for the independent cultivator, there is only one!"

"If there is nothing wrong with this information, then this casual cultivator did not ascend to immortality through his own efforts, but because of an opportunity, he ascended..."

"So, Zhu Zaiqi is right?"

"In the past 100,000 years, the number of genuine, low-level cultivators like us who have ascended to the Immortal Realm is zero?!"

"How can this be?!"

"..."

For a time, as the post recording the number of cultivators who ascended to immortality and their identities over the past 100,000 years continued to spread, all races in the heavens and all beings were deeply shocked at this moment.

"Oh, becoming an immortal?" At this moment, Zhu Zaigui's voice rang in the ears of all living beings again.

"For those top overlord-level giants, becoming an immortal is not a difficult task at all!"

"There is only one thing they need to do, and that is to rely on the powerful strength in their hands to divide up as much territory as possible and gain control of more resources. Because as long as the innate cultivation system exists, it means that almost every descendant of the family can become an immortal."

"Then I am curious," Zhu Zaigui's voice was full of sarcasm. He looked around the heavens, his eyes like knives, as if staring at the faces of everyone in the heavens and myriad worlds. "Living in a world where resources are divided up by the upper class and the lower class can hardly make a breakthrough, what on earth gives you the confidence?"

"How dare you brazenly talk about ascending to heaven?"

"Abolish the Innate Cultivation System. Who are you protesting for? Who are you complaining about?"

"Youselves? Hehe..."

A deafening voice rang in everyone's ears. All the people of all races who had been madly cursing Zhu Zaigui before felt as if they were slapped hard in the face.

At this moment, many of the lower classes among all races suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with what the deposed prince said.

Resources always belong to the upper class. The existence of the natal system is beneficial to every living being, but it is more beneficial to the powerful class!
Once these forces are gone, they will be doomed to lose access to the resources.

Anyway, you can’t ascend to become an immortal!

Now, the innate cultivation system has been abolished, and everyone is on the same starting line from birth.

So what if you are in a top family and a top sect?
If you are born without spiritual roots, or if the quality of your spiritual roots is too low, it will still be impossible for you to become an immortal.

Now, even if two mortals get married, their children may have superb spiritual roots.

In this case, doesn't it mean that abolishing the innate cultivation system will benefit those who are truly at the bottom of the society?
Because only in this way can we truly achieve fairness.

At least for any monk, from the moment of birth, their fate is handed over to God!

For a moment, all the races in the heavens and the myriad creatures who wanted to understand the key to this matter gradually began to waver.

"Do you know what I want?" Zhu Zaigui said with a sullen face, "What I want is for all the sentient beings of all races and their descendants to still have the possibility of soaring to the sky from the class that is destined to be solidified in the next thousands or tens of thousands of years!"

"Only in this way can I be truly responsible for all living beings in the universe. Only by doing this can I be the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty!" "...Boom!" After he finished speaking, Zhu Zaigui's entire aura exploded.

The cultivation of the late Mahayana period was released, but it was dispelled in the blink of an eye. Zhu Zai'e did not care about it.

However, the commotion caused by his words has almost ended at this point, and the only thing left is the most critical step.

He knew that after he said these words, coupled with the background check list of cultivators who ascended to the fairyland in the past hundred thousand years, it would be enough to make the lower classes of all races in the heavens and the earth move closer to him.

Even if not, it is enough to keep them neutral.

After that, he only needed a more reasonable reason so that he, the crown prince, could land safely even if he was deposed.

Of course, there is another premise, that is, whether his father will save his life. In fact, he has already prepared to be completely abandoned by his father. As long as his son and descendants can be safe, everything else is not important.

It would be best if you can survive, but it’s no loss if you can’t.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zaigui looked up at Hai Rui in front of him, waiting for his next words.

"The Immortal Dynasty has its own laws. The heavens are developed, and the lives of all races do not need to be exploited like in the previous world of immortal cultivation. The distribution of resources will also be fair..."

Hai Rui said in a cold tone:
"Secondly, every cultivator has the right to choose his own path to immortality. Even the crown prince has no right to make the decision on his own!"

Hai Rui's words shocked many wavering people, but after they came to their senses, they agreed with him.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty is different from the world of immortal cultivation.

The allocation of resources is also extremely fair, especially under the laws of the Immortal Dynasty. As long as one meets the requirements, one can establish a sect or a chamber of commerce for cultivating immortals.

There is no need to be like in the previous world of immortal cultivation, where it is not enough to reach a certain level and one must wait for an opportunity.

What opportunity are you waiting for? Waiting to start a war, and make contributions to those overlord-level giant forces, such as the four major academies, so that you can be allowed to enclose land and establish a school.

In addition, resources must be handed over to them every year.

In the past, the system of the world of immortal cultivation was designed to cut off the opportunities for countless cultivators to establish their own sects.

Only in this way will there be fewer people dividing the resources.

In such a vast world of cultivation, more and more resources are in the hands of these upper-class forces.

But things are different now!

The operating logic of the Ming Dynasty is law!
As long as the monks comply with the law, they can create a sect and there are no special requirements.

The Ming Dynasty did not suppress their development!
Therefore, Hai Rui's words could be said to have awakened them. This was just making farfetched arguments.

Of course, there were also some people who sneered in their hearts after hearing Hai Rui's words.

In their view, Hai Rui's words were purely polite talk with no practical significance.

That’s right, you can establish your own school!
But how much resources would an ordinary monk need to invest in the early stages of establishing a sect? Have you ever calculated it?
Speaking of doing business, if it were so easy to establish a Xiuxian Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't everyone be able to do it?
Besides, what makes you think you can compete with others in business?

Especially the people in the main world of the Great Ming Dynasty, after listening to Hai Rui's words, they began to complain on the spiritual network.

How great is the competitive pressure in today's society? If it were really as easy as Hai Rui said, and they could start a business if they wanted to, or establish a sect if they wanted to, they would have done it long ago.

Class stratification has existed for a long time.

In their view, the Crown Prince's approach is the fairest. Only by abolishing the destiny system and then letting the court make appropriate adjustments will the upper echelons release resources appropriately.

In this way, those at the bottom of society like them will have the opportunity to use these resources to cultivate and become immortals!

It can be said that Hai Rui's polite words not only failed to have any effect on the vast majority of creatures in the myriad races outside the universe, but instead made them believe even more that Zhu Zaigui was right.

For a time, more and more people seemed to feel that although Zhu Zaigui's behavior was radical, it was also understandable.

Public opinion began to split.

Not only that, apart from the class that enjoys vested interests in the natal system, the majority of people are at the bottom of the society.

The scales of public opinion continued to tilt towards Zhu Zaigui.

"Do you believe this?" Zhu Zaigui spoke up as soon as Hai Rui finished speaking.
"Some words are just for the ignorant people at the bottom, but isn't it ridiculous to use them to confront me?"

"Becoming an immortal?" Zhu Zaigui took a deep breath, then turned around and looked at Jiajing instead of Hai Rui. He said loudly, "May I ask your Majesty, Father? No, Your Majesty!"

He originally wanted to call him Father, but when he remembered that he had been deposed as Crown Prince and demoted to a commoner, he changed his words to Your Majesty.

Although he knew that there was a slight possibility of saving his life in today's public trial, he knew that in the eyes of his father, saving him was probably just a by-product.

What he really cares about is the stability of the Ming Dynasty!
"On behalf of all the living beings in the heavens, I ask the great Emperor, can all the living beings in the heavens become immortals?"

"Boom!" The moment Zhu Zaigui's voice fell, thunder suddenly exploded in the deep sky above the plateau.

Of course, a dull explosion also sounded invisibly in the ears of all living beings in the heavens and on earth.

"What's the meaning!?"

When all the living beings of all races who were watching the public trial of the heavens heard this, they were all stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
"What do you mean by can all races in the heavens become immortals?"

"Hiss! Could it be that there is some deeper hidden secret here?!"

"Can all the races in the heavens and the earth still become immortals? This is terrifying if you think about it carefully. It's as if it means that no one can become an immortal..."

"Look at the expressions of the elders in the cabinet. They were obviously shocked the moment the prince finished speaking!"

"Could it be that the ministers in the cabinet already knew about this?"

"..."

For a moment, all the races were in an uproar and talked a lot. Their intuition told them that there must be a deeper secret here.

Under the watchful eyes of all creatures in the heavens and on earth.

There was finally a slight change on Jiajing's calm face.

As soon as he raised his eyelids, all the creatures in the universe felt oppressed as if they were being watched by an supreme will, and they all avoided his gaze.

Even some high-level immortals, separated by the endless void, could not help but feel a warning in their hearts that they could not look directly at it.

This is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty!

"Zhu Zaigui, what do you want to say?" Jiajing said calmly.

At this moment, all the creatures in the heavens and earth subconsciously held their breath. Some creatures who supported Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but worry for him, fearing that he would anger the Emperor.

"Immortal Cemetery, Your Majesty will not forget it!"

The immortal cemetery?!
