My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Deep within the Taiji Palace.

A vast and terrifying pressure, like tangible golden ripples, instantly swept across the entire city of Chang'an.

"boom--!"

The two heavy black iron gates of the secluded hall, which had been closed for a whole month, suddenly burst open.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a nine-dragon robe, stepped out into the air.

He did not use a sword or any flying magic weapon.

With each step he took forward, a dark golden auspicious cloud, formed from pure national fortune, would automatically appear in the void, steadily supporting his dragon boots.

Step by step, clouds rise; soaring through the air, traversing the void!

"I have finally broken through."

Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at his hands, which were full of boundless power.

His eyes shimmered with a golden light as brilliant as stars.

As the Tang Dynasty expanded wildly in the starry sky, the resources and fortunes of countless small worlds poured into Chang'an like rivers flowing into the sea.

The golden dragon of fortune that was circling above the Taiji Palace had grown more than ten times its original size, and a ninth claw, symbolizing ultimate majesty, had grown from its abdomen!

Under the influence of this unprecedented and terrifying fortune.

Li Shimin's cultivation progressed naturally, directly breaking through the shackles of the late Nascent Soul stage.

He did not attract any lightning tribulation.

Instead, he used the heaven-defying secret method of "Forging the Immortal Dynasty" to completely integrate the fate of the Tang Dynasty with himself.

He stepped into an extremely mysterious realm, exclusive to the rulers of dynasties—the "Pseudo-Godhood Realm"!

Li Shimin raised his right hand, seemingly casually pointing his fingers together like a sword.

He pointed gently towards a desolate mountain peak a hundred miles outside of Chang'an City.

"break."

There was no fluctuation of true essence, nor any dazzling magical light.

Just one word.

That desolate mountain, a thousand feet high, a hundred miles away.

It was as if someone had used a giant eraser to wipe it off from the world.

Silently, it turned into a sky full of fine dust, which drifted away with the wind!

"hiss--"

The veteran generals, including Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were protecting the Dharma below, all gasped in shock upon seeing this scene.

Does the word become law?

No, this is tantamount to saying something that will destroy the law!

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unparalleled joy and domineering spirit.

He now finally has absolute confidence!

As long as one stands on the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty, under the blessing of the dynasty's destiny.

Even if a true early-stage Nascent Soul expert were to descend, he would remain invincible!

If we were to burn the secret method of national destiny at any cost.

Even if he were a powerful figure in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he would dare to draw the Emperor's Sword and fight head-on with the opponent for hundreds of rounds!

The Great Tang Dynasty has finally acquired its own ultimate nuclear deterrent force!

……

At this time.

With the rapid rise of the Tang Dynasty's national strength.

A bizarre and unprecedented scene has also appeared in Chang'an City.

Outside the Ministry of Revenue.

A long queue stretched from the main gate of the government office all the way to the corner of Zhuque Street.

The people in line were all cultivators dressed in all sorts of strange costumes and exuding a powerful aura.

There are even old monsters at the Golden Core stage and even the Nascent Soul stage!

These were all reclusive masters whom the Great Tang Expeditionary Force had "invited" back from various small worlds and secret realms.

At the beginning.

These old monsters were all proud and arrogant, preferring death to dishonor, and constantly spouting the proverb "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated."

but.

When they were escorted to Chang'an, they breathed in the rich spiritual energy that was almost dripping with moisture.

After witnessing the countless top-grade elixirs of the Tang Dynasty, as well as all sorts of unbelievable high-tech cultivation methods, they realized that...

The Dao hearts of these old monsters collapsed instantly.

His integrity has been shattered.

"Hey, fellow cultivator in front, can you hurry up a bit?!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator with a full head of white hair, who was once the Supreme Elder of the number one sect in a small world.

At this moment, he was standing on tiptoe, holding a queue number in his hand, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"What's the rush! Can't you see I'm filling out a form?!"

The old woman in front of him, who was also at the Nascent Soul stage, glared at him irritably.

"I'm in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Works for an interview as a senior array engineer!"

The white-haired old monster shouted anxiously.

"If you arrive too late, there won't be any spots left for the 'detached cave dwellings with spirit-gathering arrays within the second ring road' allocated by the Tang Dynasty!"

"You're in such a hurry, but am I not?"

The old woman turned her head, slammed the form in her hand onto the table of the Ministry of Revenue official, and fawned over him with a face full of obsequious flattery.

"My lord, given my circumstances, am I eligible to apply for the Tang Dynasty's 'Five Social Insurances and One Housing Fund'?"

"Especially the 'Work Injury Treatment Insurance' and the 'Cultivation Insurance for Immortal Seeds.' I have a great-grandson at home, and I'm counting on these benefits to send him to study at the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Academy!"

Looking at these once high and mighty beings.

For a Chang'an household registration in the Tang Dynasty, and for the welfare benefits within the Tang Dynasty's system.

They argued heatedly, just like middle-aged women buying vegetables at a market.

The official from the Ministry of Revenue in charge of registration took a leisurely sip of the Immortal Tea, his face showing complete indifference.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has completely captivated all the realms of the heavens.

……

The country has become prosperous and strong.

Education must naturally keep up.

At Li Chen's suggestion.

The Tang Dynasty court designated two auspicious sites with the most abundant spiritual energy in the south of Chang'an.

They invested huge sums of money to build two top-level academies for cultivating immortality!

East.

It was the "Confucian and Taoist Academy" jointly led by Wei Zheng, the number one critic of the Tang Dynasty, and Ning Xiu, the founder of Confucianism and Taoism.

And to the west.

He is Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who has become completely obsessed with the aesthetics of violence and awakened his true self under the stimulation of the Berserk Pill.

He personally founded the "Physical Education Academy".

The two gates are right next to each other, separated by only one street from the college.

From the very first day it was established.

They were destined to be unable to coexist peacefully, and were bound to create sparks that were both laughable and absurd.

early morning.

Inside the Confucian and Taoist Academy, the sound of reading aloud filled the air.

Thousands of impoverished scholars from the Tang Dynasty wore spotless white robes.

They wore turbans and carried folding fans.

In the morning light, they swayed their heads as they recited the classics of the ancients.

Confucius said: "To learn something and then practice it regularly, is that not a pleasure?"

A pure and gentle aura of righteousness swirled and coalesced in the sky above the academy, transforming into wispy white clouds.

The garden was filled with a scholarly atmosphere, extremely elegant.

however.

This is a beautiful picture of tranquility and peace.

It was quickly torn to shreds by a deafening roar, like the howl of a wild beast, coming from next door!

"One! Two! Three! Four!"

"Hey! Ha!"

On the playground of the physical education academy next door.

The art style suddenly changed.

It's simply unbearable to look at!

Thousands of burly men with muscles as hard as granite and bare chests.

He was carrying a massive boulder of black iron weighing several thousand kilograms.

Running and frog-jumping wildly on the playground!

Sweat cascaded down their glistening muscles like a waterfall, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The intense and fierce aura of blood shot straight into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon, scattering the clouds above.

The most outrageous.

These muscle-bound thugs were training like crazy while shouting in unison.

That was the supreme mental cultivation method for physical training, "Lunyu," personally compiled for them by Dean Li Chengqian!

"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or supernatural beings!"

The leading instructor was a towering, burly man who yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What does that mean?!"
