Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

In her previous life, Qin Zijun had been the emperor of the Yun Dynasty.

During his years as the emperor of the Yun Dynasty, he conducted in-depth research on the Yun Dynasty's cultivation methods.

Unlike those true emperors of dynasties who fear shaking the foundations of their kingdoms and affecting their own cultivation, or even who want to rely on the methods of dynasties to break through to the Taiqing Realm and become true immortals.

Qin Zijun, who is capable of reincarnation, does not care about her cultivation level or lifespan in any of her previous lives.

For Qin Zijun, he even hoped that each of his lives would be shorter and that he would die sooner with his fate, which would allow him to approach the goal of cultivating for ten thousand lifetimes more quickly.

therefore,

When Qin Zijun was the emperor of the Yun Dynasty, he made drastic changes that caused great turmoil in the country, all in order to study the essence of this cultivation method.

During her research, Qin Zijun discovered many secrets about the nation's destiny and fortune.

For example, the cultivation method of the dynasty is not very efficient in utilizing the nation's fortune and destiny.

After all, the dynasty is just an external thing; the emperor governs using a whole set of ruling methods and a whole set of systems that the people accept.

The result is that a ruler of a dynasty can only control the national fortune and destiny of the top-level buildings.

The strength and realm of a dynasty's emperor are closely related to the strength of that dynasty.

However, the emperor of the dynasty is only an individual, and he cannot fully utilize the portion of the nation's destiny that is affected by all the people of the entire dynasty.

This is like an ordinary dynasty, where an emperor cannot truly understand the opinions and lives of the people at the grassroots level. Even if he goes deep into the grassroots, he only understands a part of it, not the whole.

The same applies to cultivators during the Yun Dynasty.

Even a supreme emperor of a dynasty in the Taiqing Realm, facing such a vast and boundless land and such a massive dynasty, could not possibly understand every detail of his own dynasty, no matter how broad his divine sense or how strong his will.

Unless there is a ruling emperor who can make the entire dynasty a part of himself, so that I am the dynasty and the dynasty is me.

But that was clearly beyond the capabilities of someone at the Taiqing Realm; probably only a true immortal could do it.

In his research on the dynasty's fortune, Qin Zijun discovered a significant waste of fortune.

The Emperor can only mobilize a small portion of the fortune generated by the lower and middle levels of a dynasty.

The emperor of a dynasty can only truly command those at the very top of the central government.

In her research, Qin Zijun also discovered that an official who is also a scholar can develop a literary air.

That literary energy was very fragile, incomparable to the magical power cultivated by any Taoist practitioner.

Therefore, the scholars of the Yun Dynasty most desired to be granted a title by the emperor, thereby enjoying longevity and gaining supernatural powers.

This delicate literary style piqued Qin Zijun's curiosity.

Although literary energy is fragile, it possesses an extremely powerful ability: it can also influence the fate and fortune of a nation!

Thus, Qin Zijun conceived a bold idea.

Is it really impossible to utilize the national fortune generated by the lower and middle classes that is being wasted?

Qin Zijun then wanted to create a cultivation system, a system that would complement the cultivation practices of the Yun Dynasty.

The Emperor controls the upper level, while cultivators of this system control the lower level.

However, at that time, Qin Zijun was already the emperor of the dynasty, and he was unable to personally test this system and method.

Most importantly, he still lacks a crucial solution: how to transform these scattered national fortunes into real strength.

After all, utilizing the nation's fortune is a method of cultivation within the dynasty, and he cannot possibly build a country within a country within the dynasty.

If that's the case, then this method of cultivation is absolutely useless.

But by sheer coincidence, Qin Zijun met Wang Shu in this life, and through their brief conversation, she gained a basic understanding of the legendary deity.

Those deities do not rely on cultivation, but rather use faith to transform into their own magical powers and supernatural abilities.

The biggest problem with gods is that their power is innate.

The birth of any god corresponds to a divine rank; the higher your divine rank, the stronger you are.

One must not overstep one's bounds among the gods.

Simply put, if you want to be the Heavenly Emperor, you must be born as the Heavenly Emperor.

If you are the sun, then you must be born to be the sun.

The power you can wield is equivalent to your own divine status.

Your strength can never surpass your own godhood. This is a special system where class is determined from birth, and crossing classes simply does not exist.

Effort is the most ridiculous word to the gods, because everything is predetermined to them.

However, this special system, which could only be used by innate deities, inspired Qin Zijun.

If deities use faith to transform into magical powers, then using literary talent to influence the nation's destiny and fortune should also be able to transform into their own magical powers.

Once you have an idea, you need to experiment with it.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

But this presented another challenge.

To put into practice this new method of cultivation that he created, he could not first be the emperor of the dynasty, but must be an ordinary person living in the dynasty, a scholar-official.

Secondly, this dynasty cannot be prosperous, and the emperor must not be one of those Dao Lords or those in the Taiqing Realm.

These emperors will not allow you to cause trouble in their courts.

Therefore, the second generation of Yonhap News Agency vehicles is the best experimental subject.

Since most dynasties only lasted two generations, it was extremely difficult for a second-generation monarch to cultivate to a higher realm within a fully functioning dynasty.

This second-generation monarch must also be a wise ruler.

If they were a monarch who was content to lie down and wait for death, or a foolish monarch who was waiting to die, then they would absolutely not be willing to try Qin Zijun's new cultivation system.

If I don't try, I can still be a decadent king, living a life of debauchery and excess.

But if I try it and something goes wrong, I'm afraid the country will decline and fall apart within a few years.

after all,

A ruler of a dynasty would not easily use the fate of his country as an experimental subject.

This Chu ruler was a rare monarch who met all of Qin Zijun's requirements.

He was a second-generation descendant of the Yun Dynasty, and his talent for cultivation in the Yun Dynasty was average. He was estimated to have only reached the Dongxuan Realm by the time he died.

The ruler of Chu was an idealistic and wise monarch who wanted to work hard to maintain the legacy left by his father.

It was after learning these things in this lifetime that Qin Zijun had the idea that she didn't want to miss out.

Who knows how many lifetimes later, the next time such an opportunity will come.

Even if one cultivates to become an immortal for countless lifetimes, such an opportunity may still be lost.

During the palace examination, Qin Zijun quickly finished writing down her entire set of cultivation theories and methods.

But not wanting to become the target of public criticism, he continued to pretend to be thinking.

The palace examination was not long, much shorter than the previous examinations. It only required writing an essay of no more than two thousand words.

After the exam, all the names on the papers were covered up.

The examination papers for the palace examination would not be reviewed by any ministers; they would be approved by the monarch himself.

This is also why Qin Zijun dared to write this cultivation system that was completely unrelated to the topic.

If it had gone through the hands of a minister, he would probably have been the first to be eliminated.

The candidates filed out, led by guards.

Each candidate dared not make a sound, remaining silent and observing the others around them with scrutinizing expressions.

There can only be one top scorer, and the exams must be ranked, so everyone is a competitor.

Some relatives and family members were waiting outside the palace gates, just like Qin Zijun remembered when the college entrance examination candidates came out of the examination hall.

The area outside the palace suddenly became bustling, like a vegetable market.

Qin Zijun found Wang Shu in the crowd, who was wearing a veil and dressed as a maid.

He quickly walked over, took the other person's hand, and hurried away.

Back home, Wang Shu had already prepared the ingredients to cook a big meal to reward him.

While chopping vegetables and cooking rice, the Moon Goddess asked, "Young Master, how did your exam go?"

Qin Zijun shook her head: "I don't know."

"Don't know? Are the questions too difficult?"

Wang Shu frowned. She knew that her young master studied the classics diligently every day in order to pass the imperial examination on this day.

Qin Zijun said, "The questions weren't difficult, but my way of answering them was rather novel."

"I'll either be the top scholar in the imperial examination, or I'll be last in the rankings. There's even a possibility that the king will send someone to arrest me and imprison me."

Qin Zijun said with a hint of teasing.

He wasn't really sure either.

The King of Chu may be a wise ruler, but Qin Zijun's words were somewhat cultish and misleading. The King might have regarded him as a demon, thinking he was there to undermine the foundation of the state, and might have even thrown him into prison.

"Why...why are we putting you in jail?"

Wang Shu was startled and almost threw the spatula she was using to make fried rice.

Qin Zijun said, "It's just a possibility, not a certainty that I'll go to jail."

"Wangshu, what will you do if I get imprisoned? Will you find another master? Or marry into a rich family? With your beauty, many people must like you."

Wang Shu raised her delicate chin and said arrogantly, "I am an educated man, while Qi is an ungrateful wretch."

"If you get locked up in jail, I... I'll break you out!"

She thought about how Qin Zijun had helped her build the "Moon Gazing Festival" in Shoushan County.

Although Qin Zijun no longer holds the title of the eldest son of the Qin family, the festival remains, and it is still celebrated every year with sacrifices to the moon goddess.

It was this ritual that allowed Wangshu's strength to steadily recover.

She is no longer the little rabbit who would run away at the sight of an eagle or a tiger in the deep mountains and forests.

She is now able to live in this world according to her own ideas.

Young master has been kind to me, how can I not repay his kindness?

Given the unique nature of my ancient deity, cultivators of this era have never seen him before, giving me a great chance to rescue him from prison.

I'll take him and run away, find a mountain to hide in.

Now I can cook, make clothes, and have supernatural powers, so how could I not serve him well?

No, no, why should I serve him? If it really comes to that, I'll make him serve me!

Wang Shu suddenly felt eager to try, wishing that Qin Zijun would be arrested as soon as possible so that she could rise from serf to master!

Qin Zijun, unaware of what Wang Shu was thinking with that silly grin, reminded her, "The food is about to burn."

"Oh no, it's really going to burn!"

Wang Shu hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, flustered and disorganized.

After Wang Shu had prepared a table full of elaborate dishes, Qin Zijun solemnly took out a book from her bosom and handed it to Wang Shu: "If I am really arrested, you must not try to break me out of prison."

"When the time comes, you can pay a storyteller in the capital to spread this book."

This is the power of the "Book of Immortals Through the Ages": as long as one transmits the experiences of one's past lives, one can reclaim the power of that past life.

Qin Zijun rarely uses this ability unless there are people or things he can't let go of in that life.

In this life, the person I can't let go of is Wang Shu.

If it weren't for Wang Shu, he really wouldn't care about being captured. He would prefer the king to cut off his head so he could die sooner and be reborn in the next life.

But Wang Shu's existence made him willing to protect her for life.

The life Qin Zijun wrote about was the one in which he was invincible among countless reincarnations.

In that lifetime, Qin Zijun was a powerful figure in the righteous path, invincible throughout the realm.

Countless demons perished at his Xuanmen Orthodox Method, and he even created his own supreme technique, "I Observe One Method".

If he could regain the power of this life, he could immediately become a Taiqing Realm expert who could forge an unparalleled Dao weapon and cultivate unparalleled profound skills.

The mere state of Chu could be destroyed with a single blow.

He could even kill several of the few living Taiqing Realm cultivators in this realm several times over.

Wang Shu took the book and curiously wanted to open it.

Qin Zijun quickly stopped her: "You can look at this if I'm really in jail, but if I'm not, don't look at it!"

If you read this, the book might get out, and I might inexplicably become an unparalleled powerhouse, making my entire life a waste.

Wang Shu snorted, "Who cares? Fine, I won't look!"

As she said this, she carefully put the book away.

She believed that Qin Zijun would not speak without reason.

Two days later, a eunuch arrived with several guards and invited Qin Zijun to the palace.

Qin Zijun bathed and changed her clothes, then left with the eunuchs and guards.

Wang Shu hid in the room, secretly watching Qin Zijun leave, clutching the books in her arms tightly.
