I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

With the two Zhu Cilangs, they continued to delve deeper into the level of spiritual rules.

Everything about them is rapidly shedding its superficiality, returning to spirituality and order.

At that moment, Zhu Cilang clearly saw his own body, soul, and the origin of his consciousness.
Yes, it includes not only one's own "self", but also the body, soul, and consciousness of Zhu Cilang on the other side.

At this moment, both sides completely opened up to each other.

The fusion of self and others is the fusion of everything.

When things merge, everything will be revealed.

Besides the superposition of the body and soul's origins, this situation of benefiting from the fundamental origin is also a great blessing.

However, this requires sufficient cultivation level, and the cultivation level must be comparable.

Otherwise, they would have merged so easily, and naturally they wouldn't have reached the level of Zhu Cilang, who was able to see the origin and essence.

As for who will dominate after the fusion of self and others, strength and cultivation are part of it, but more importantly, it is spiritual will.

Whoever experiences more and has a stronger will has a greater chance of winning and taking the lead.

In the case of the two Zhu Cilangs, normally speaking, the Ming dynasty Zhu Cilang would have a greater advantage.

After all, he had been dealing with various matters concerning the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Realm for many years.

Meanwhile, Zhu Cilang of the Celestial Empire remained confined to the imperial palace, engaging in endless seclusion and spiritual cultivation.

In terms of experience, Zhu Cilang of the Celestial Empire could never compare to Zhu Cilang of the Ming Dynasty.

However, being inside the imperial palace of the Celestial Empire, blessed by the national fortune and dragon energy, coupled with the long period of solitary seclusion and enduring loneliness, also significantly enhanced his mental and physical strength.

In summary, both sides have their own advantages, and they are evenly matched overall.

Once the forces, bodies, and souls of both sides become intertwined, a deep fusion begins.

True energy, body and soul, the origin of consciousness, and so on, are all gradually merging together.

However, while their wills are constantly merging, they are also constantly fighting against each other.

Ultimately, who will prevail depends on who can hold out until the very end.

As time passed, the two Zhu Cilangs transformed into two similar yet different beams of light, intertwining and gradually permeating each other.

One day, two days.
Ten days, twenty days
A full month passed, and the two different lights finally merged completely into one, transforming into a ball of light several meters in size, pulsating slightly as it flowed with its rules.

Time flies, and another month has passed in no time.

The tiny, pulsating ball of light suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Then the radiance subsided, and Zhu Cilang's figure gradually reappeared.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang seemed to be even younger, but his eyes revealed a hint of vicissitude and determination.

Its unconsciously emanating aura subtly draws in the surrounding rules, causing slight distortions in the rules of this small area as they flow and operate.

This time, because our strengths were evenly matched, the intense confrontation and fusion of our forces delved into the realm of spiritual rules, and the benefits gained were naturally greater.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang directly broke through from the early stage of the Undying Realm to the late stage of the Undying Realm.

Most importantly, he also gained his own understanding of the Dao Fruit realm of the Cave Heaven.

Once one's cultivation reaches its peak and one further comprehends the laws of heaven and earth and the principles of human nature, thus completing one's own understanding, one will naturally be able to break through and achieve the Dao Fruit Realm of the Cave Heaven.

This is precisely why he developed a deeper connection with the surrounding rules, resonating and echoing each other, causing distortions in the operation of the surrounding rules.

However, he ultimately failed to break through to the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit realm and could not truly delve into the level of rules.

Therefore, just as Zhu Cilang, who had just awakened, was examining the flow of rules around him and preparing to gain a deeper understanding, his body began to fall rapidly and uncontrollably.

"Boom boom boom"

The next instant, Zhu Cilang's figure reappeared in the side hall of Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel a moment of disorientation.

"Young Master Zhu, His Majesty summons you!"

A palace servant appeared silently in front of Zhu Cilang.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and spirited figure before him, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.

He was actually quite proud after reaching the late stage of the Undying Realm.

But at this moment, he deeply suppressed his pride. Any palace servant in this palace seemed to be no weaker than him.

"this."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and spirited figure before him, Zhu Cilang was unsure how to address her.

"My surname is Xu, and I am currently a court eunuch in the Inner Palace."

"Xu, Attendant Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department."

Zhu Cilang opened his mouth, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at the person in front of him.

He thought the person in front of him was a palace maid.

Little did they know, it turned out to be a eunuch.

"Eunuch Xu..."

Xu Zhixiu glanced at Zhu Cilang; how could she not know what he was thinking?
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The path he followed was the transformation of heaven and man. At the peak, he was neither male nor female, yin and yang united, and could transform at will.

Of course, this requires reaching the peak.

He estimated that it would probably require reaching the realm of the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit.

However, he hesitated at this moment.

If she were to truly reach that level, her position as a eunuch serving the emperor would likely be over.

At the very least, it's impossible for him to accompany her to the harem anytime, anywhere.

Unless, when he breaks through to the realm of the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit and truly achieves the transformation of heaven and man, he completely solidifies his female body, or completely achieves the appearance of a heaven and man who is neither male nor female.

However, this would deviate somewhat from his vision of a celestial being who could transform at will, which is why he had been hesitant.

However, there was no need to explain any of this to Zhu Cilang.

Therefore, Xu Zhixiu only glanced at Zhu Cilang before smiling and urging him on again.

"Young Master Zhu, please!"

"Oh, okay, thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Xu."

The two walked swiftly and soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

After Xu Zhixiu went in to announce his arrival, Zhu Cilang quickly stepped in.

"Your subject, Zhu Cilang, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked Zhu Cilang up and down, then nodded and said with a smile:
"Rise, my subject!"
"The reason I have summoned you here today is to discuss the matter of investiture."

Zhu Cilang quickly bowed again.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

Wang Chao smiled and nodded. A eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward, unfurled a scroll of imperial edict, and spoke loudly.

"Zhu Cilang receives the imperial decree!"

"Your subject, Zhu Cilang, receives the imperial decree!"

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"

Now, Zhu Cilang of the Celestial Dynasty is in charge of conquering the Ming territory and bringing about its surrender; his achievements are outstanding.
Now, I hereby bestow upon him the title of First-Class Marquis of Ming, and grant him one-tenth of the fortune of the Ming Realm.

"boom!"

As soon as the voice fell, a thick, bright yellow national fortune crashed down and directly merged into Zhu Cilang's body, evolving into the rank of Marquis Ming.

With this blessing, Zhu Cilang felt his mind clear, and a series of insights surged into his heart, causing his cultivation level to rise once again.

Furthermore, he has established a connection with the Bright Realm. With just a thought, he can sense everything in the Bright Realm and grasp the operation of its rules.

This instantly elevated his perception and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth to a new level.

Now, Zhu Cilang only needs to complete his understanding of humanistic principles and laws to easily complete his own path, condense and evolve his own Dao fruit, and achieve the realm of the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit.

And this is the effect of the Minghou position and the complete fortune of the Mingjie.

Zhu Cilang estimated that he would be able to complete the breakthrough in about a year and a half, which demonstrates the powerful amplification effect of his rank and fortune. (End of Chapter)
