Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

On the plateau.

As Jiajing's voice rang out, waves of emotions burst out from the hearts of the ministers.

Especially the five army commanders, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Wang Chonggu and other generals, their faces were flushed with excitement.

It can be said that ever since the day they learned about the existence of the world of immortal cultivation, they have been working silently, preparing for the arrival of this day, looking forward to leading the army to attack in.

They knew that their emperor would definitely invade the world of immortal cultivation. Even if there was no notice yet, they firmly believed that the emperor would definitely invade.

Finally, their hard work paid off and the day they had been waiting for finally came true.

"Hu Zongxian!" Since it was a call for generals, Jiajing didn't waste any words and started calling out names directly.

"I'm here!" Hu Zongxian took a step forward.

As a member of the new party in the cabinet and a representative of the military, Hu Zongxian stepped out from among the ministers, and everyone looked at him with envy.

But this is something they cannot envy.

Hu Zongxian began to serve as the Governor-General of Zhejiang in the 39th year of Jiajing, leading troops to fight against Japanese pirates.

Later, the cabinet was expanded and he became a member of the New Party, representing the military in charge of the 3,000 Battalion.

This is definitely a big-name military figure!
"I order you to lead three thousand troops to capture the stars in the Eastern Azure Dragon Region of the Twenty-Eight Constellations!" As Jiajing finished speaking, a golden light fell from the imperial seal above the sky and sank into Hu Zongxian's mind. This was equivalent to the existence of a tiger talisman.

"In addition, I order you to be the battle commander of the entire Twenty-Eight Constellations!" Jiajing appointed another battle commander!

"Sir, obey the order!"

Hu Zongxian clasped his fists and bowed!
"Wang Chonggu!" Jiajing called on his general again.

"I'm here!" Wang Chonggu also took a step forward and walked out.

Today's Wang Chonggu is a true prince's gang. He controls not only the Fifth Military Camp, which was one of the three major camps before, but also many elite troops from the Military University of the prince's lineage.

"You are responsible for the stars in the southern Suzaku region of the Twenty-Eight Constellations!" As Jiajing finished speaking, Wang Chonggu's expression straightened, and he bowed and said, "Yes!"

"Yu Dayou!"

"Chen is here!"

"You are responsible for the stars in the Western White Tiger Region of the Twenty-Eight Constellations!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

……

"Qi Jiguang!"

"Chen is here!"

"You are responsible for the stars in the Northern Xuanwu Region of the Twenty-Eight Constellations!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

……

"Tang Shunzhi!" After the Eastern Qinglong Domain finished calling out the names of the generals, Jiajing read out another name. It was Tang Shunzhi, the commander-in-chief of the entire army who was previously responsible for the conquest of the "Ming Domain".

"I'm here!" Tang Shunzhi took a step forward and walked out.

"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the battles of the Northern and Southern Dippers, responsible for the overall war!" Jiajing appointed the second commander-in-chief, "Five armies in front, back, left, center and right are at your disposal!"

"I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!" Tang Shunzhi said solemnly.

"Ma Fang!" Jiajing spoke again.

"I'm here!" Ma Fang took a step forward and saluted with his fists clasped.

Looking at the brave general who stood up, Jiajing said, "I will always remember your deeds!"

Speaking of Ma Fang, Jiajing's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

Seeing that the emperor actually valued her so much, Ma Fang's heart was inevitably shocked, and a look of complete surprise appeared on her face.

He is also a typical princeling.

However, he was seldom in the court. He was always at the frontier, or patrolling the outer planets, or training troops.

Wang Chonggu, who was in charge of the garrison on Yingzhou Island with him, has become one of the leaders of the new party in the cabinet.

But he was still just an unknown general.

What he didn't expect was that such an insignificant person like him would be valued so much by the emperor?

At this moment, not to mention Ma Fang himself, even the vast majority of people in the court looked surprised.

Only a few old guys like Yan Song looked at Ma Fang and lowered their heads as if they were used to it.

The Emperor has long intended to invade the world of immortal cultivation. How could he not pay attention to some military geniuses?

Ma Fang was indeed a talented general and a rare commander. He did not have outstanding achievements in the court like Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang and others.

But his name, his files, and his deep involvement in the military are all on the desks of senior officials.

Ma Fang is more suitable for a military camp rather than a court official.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ma Fang can endure loneliness and is willing to work hard in the military camp.

This is the most rare thing!
"You are both a talented commander and a talented general." This time, Jiajing did not appoint the generals as neatly as before. Instead, he looked at Ma Fang with a slightly broad face and said in a gentle tone:
"Do you know which star field in the world of immortal cultivation has the most profound heritage and the most overlords and giants?"

Hearing this, Ma Fang was startled, and then without thinking, he grinned at Jiajing and said directly:

"Your Majesty, I know it's Sanyuan!"

"In the Three Enclosures, there are many ancient dynasties in the Ziwei Star Region, and ancient clans in the Taiwei Star Region. Well, it is rumored that these ancient dynasties and ancient clans have existed since the birth of the world of immortal cultivation, when the human race ruled the world!"

"The Tianshi Star Region is the gathering place of the Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce. They control more than 70% of the Chambers of Commerce in the entire Immortal Cultivation World."

"No one knows how many useless resources they have. Perhaps if they block the entire Tianshi star field, it will be enough for them to form their own world with inexhaustible resources!"

If the entire world of cultivation is also divided into levels, then there is no doubt that the Sanyuan Star Region is at the top!

A royal palace of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty is enough to be equal to the White Horse Academy among the four major academies, or even much stronger.

It can be seen that looking at the entire Eastern Qinglong Territory, it is nothing big in front of the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty!
At this time, when everyone heard Jiajing asking Ma Fang which star field in the world of immortal cultivation was the strongest and most profound, they already knew that the emperor was planning to let Ma Fang, who had both general and commander talent, to take the lead.

Ma Fang was mostly in charge of cavalry, and he even had many unique war theories of his own, such as: "counter cavalry with cavalry, counter speed with speed" and "anticipate the enemy's attack first".

In addition, he once proposed the idea of ​​"sending all foreign soldiers to defend the local land with local people", and then recruited soldiers locally to enhance the cohesion of the army and demonstrate excellent strategic management capabilities.

He is both a talented commander and a talented general!
To a certain extent, Ma Fang's military strength has even surpassed Hu Zongxian and Tang Shunzhi.

As for Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, although they also have certain ability to command troops, it is still not enough to command such a large-scale cross-domain war.

Although the current world of immortal cultivation has long been paralyzed, and all major forces have closed their mountains or retreated from the world, once the Ming Dynasty invades, it will inevitably lead to resistance.

And many overlord-level forces in the Sanyuan star field will inevitably come out.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It will be very troublesome if these hegemonic giants with a long history rise up to resist.

Therefore, the war zone in the Sanyuan star field must be led by an absolutely brave person who can not only coordinate the battle situation but also accurately grasp the opportunity. Ma Fang is the most suitable person, no doubt about it!

"In that case, I will leave the Three Palaces to you!" Jiajing looked at the most pure military commander of the Ming Dynasty and said:
"Are you confident?"

"Yes," Ma Fang was so excited that he knelt down in front of Jiajing and said loudly:

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"

Looking at this scene, all the ministers present knew that from now on, the Ming Dynasty would have a new noble.

Especially when looking at Ma Fang's face, he was so moved that he seemed to be ready to die immediately to repay the emperor's kindness.

Everyone knew that from then on, there appeared in the court a person who had no selfish motives and was extremely loyal to the emperor.

Besides Lü Fang, Lu Bing, and Hai Rui, there is now also Ma Fang! Of course, the amount of information one sees will vary depending on one's position.

Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

These two old foxes already understood in their hearts that, next, the Ming Dynasty would unify the entire world of immortal cultivation, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would begin to abolish the innate cultivation system, then Ma Fang would be the sharpest knife!

In the Sanyuan Star Region, the overlord-level giants have the most forces, the deepest foundation, and are the strongest. However, facing the power currently held by the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the rampage of the strange destiny, conquering the Sanyuan Star Region is only a matter of time.

And Ma Fang will get the greatest credit.

Then, the military power in the court will probably gradually transfer from the commander-in-chief of the five armies to Ma Fang.

With military power, the emperor will be able to better deal with the major immortal clans in the court.

Although the major immortal clans did not dare to resist the national policy of abolishing the revolutionary practice system, it was obvious that the emperor did not believe them.

I don't want any twists and turns to happen.

Because if the major immortal clans in the court today really want to cause trouble, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the Ming world. Even if the emperor can suppress it in a moment, it will still be a loss of face for the court in front of the people.

The most important thing is that if there are any twists and turns in this matter, it means that people all over the world will develop a rebellious mentality towards it.

After all, abolishing the innate cultivation system means abolishing the possibility of most people seeking immortality and longevity.

"Okay!" Following Jiajing's low shout, a golden light from the imperial seal above the sky sank into Ma Fang's brows.

At this point, the call is complete!
The Twenty-Eight Constellations were coordinated by Hu Zongxian; the Big Dipper and Southern Dipper star regions were coordinated by Tang Shunzhi; and the Three Enclosures were under the control of Ma Fang.

"Remember, you must suppress it quickly and make a quick decision. If there are immortal sect forces that refuse to obey, they will be wiped out!"

"Yes!" Hu Zongxian, Tang Shunzhi and Ma Fang clasped their fists.

Without Jiajing's explanation, they also knew that this invasion war must be launched with lightning speed and must not give the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation a chance to react.

Unifying the entire world of cultivation is based on considerations of interests, not to fight a war of attrition with the other side and waste resources.

In their eyes, the entire world of immortal cultivation will belong to the Ming Dynasty in the future. Fighting a war of attrition at this time will undoubtedly erode the interests and resources of the Ming Dynasty, which is wrong!

The right approach would be to keep these resources and distribute them to each family in due time, and to train more cultivators for the family before the innate cultivation system is abolished.

"Where are the immortals?" At this time, Jiajing spoke again.

This time, more than one hundred immortals, led by Immortal Venerable Longyang, came out.

"Once the army is stable and stationed in a one-star location, you will go there in batches to take charge and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty!"

If the army captures a star world, then this world will become a part of Jiajing's own destiny and will be under Jiajing's control forever.

In this way, the activities of the scattered immortals in this world will not be affected. With the scattered immortals in charge, even if those overlord-level giant forces want to counterattack, they will inevitably fail.

After all, after conquering a city, you still have to think about defending it. If you just fight for it and it is taken back by others, with one side gaining and the other losing, even if the Ming Dynasty can win, it will be a miserable victory, which is not what Jiajing wants to see.

"Yes, we will obey your majesty's order!"

After the roll call was completed, Jiajing waved his hand and said loudly: "Today, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Ming Dynasty, I will have fun with all the ministers and share the feast of cultivation!"

"Buzz!"

As Jiajing finished speaking, the next moment, the Emperor's Seal of the Sky burst out with brilliant golden light.

Then, stone tables appeared one after another on the entire plateau, and tree chairs appeared one after another behind the ministers, gathering people into groups of three or five around a table.

Then, before the ministers could react, they saw delicious dishes appearing one after another on the stone table.

With blessings in their hearts, the ministers naturally understood that all the delicious dishes on the table, even the legendary dragon liver and phoenix marrow, had turned into crabs, because these foods were all transformed by their cultivation.

An ordinary peach, as far as the eye can see, clearly shows how many years of cultivation can be added by eating the peach.

"Hiss, if we eat this fairy peach, we can gain a hundred years of cultivation?!" a governor exclaimed.

"Is this dragon liver?" An overseas governor who had reached the late Nascent Soul stage picked up a piece of fried liver and said with trembling hands, "After eating this dragon liver, I'm afraid my cultivation level will be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage!"

"you……"

As he was exclaiming, he suddenly saw a flash before his eyes, and the next moment the plate of dragon liver disappeared.

When he turned around, he found that Richard Sutherland, the self-proclaimed gentleman governor from Britain, was standing next to him, wiping his mouth elegantly and looking at him with a sneer on his face.

Well, that look is like looking at a fool.

"If you don't eat now, the rest will be gone!"

At this time, a kind-hearted person nearby pulled him, and then the man began to wave his chopsticks frantically.

As a result, the overseas formation had no intention of getting entangled at this moment, but picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up other food.

Although other foods are also transformed from cultivation, they are at most the result of a dozen days, half a month, or even one or two years of cultivation.

For some high-level cultivators, it has long been useless, but for the first cultivator, especially those between the Jindan and Yuanying stages, a mosquito leg is still meat no matter how small it is.

What's more, eating it will improve your cultivation!

Unfortunately, there is only one main dish on each table, which can take hundreds of years to cultivate.

Other foods also have limited appeal to officials who are able to go to the plateau to attend the meeting.

Fortunately, this is the case. Otherwise, this was supposed to be a birthday party for the country, but everyone was just busy eating. Where is the decorum of these officials? Where is the civility?

As for the high-ranking officials at the front, such as the kings, immortals, the cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, the six ministries, the five military commanders, and the Inspectorate, they did not care much about the food on the table, any one of which could increase their cultivation by hundreds of years. For them, cultivation had long been useless.

After all, the one with the worst cultivation level present is at the late stage of fusion and can break through to the Mahayana stage at any time.

At this level, they no longer care about improving their cultivation. All they want is to wait until the Ming Dynasty unifies the world and ascend to the fairyland after the affairs here are completed.

Therefore, these foods seemed insignificant compared to their congratulations, praises, and flattery to the emperor.

For a moment, the entire plateau was bustling with officials toasting each other, and the best wines from heaven were gathered together, making the place very lively.

This state banquet lasted for ten days.

Ten days later, except for the top leaders, the cultivation of all the provincial governors and other officials was promoted to a higher realm again.

On the second day of the second month of the 345th year of the Jiajing reign, the dragon raised its head.

On this day, the armies stationed on the planets in the solar system and in the territory of the Ming Dynasty each opened a passage between the two worlds.

The world of immortal cultivation, the Eastern Qinglong Territory, the immortal cultivation world of Arcturus, the Western Continent, Lingxu Island, and the ancient vein where the Lu family secret realm is located!

"Buzz!"

The space was filled with waves.

Then, a figure in a scarlet official robe appeared, looking down at the ancient vein below that was blocked by a large formation.

The figure was none other than the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan.

Before this, because of him, all the forces of the Ming Dynasty on Lingxu Island were uprooted.

Fortunately, the war broke out at that time, and the emperor did not pursue the matter, otherwise Yan Shifan would not be able to escape the blame!
Maybe it might even implicate the entire Yan family.

After all, the Yan family could be greedy and bad, but they always knew one thing: they must not harm the interests of the emperor.

That time, Yan Shifan even thought about committing suicide as an atonement.

Fortunately, the emperor was kind, and he took the initiative to hand over the Spine of Creation when he first obtained it.

Otherwise, he couldn't even imagine the consequences!
Although he killed Lu Yu, the humiliation he suffered back then had already made him secretly decide that he would wipe out the entire Lu family.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so late.

Looking down at the Lu family, who was enveloped by a large formation and completely isolated from the small world, Yan Shifan's eyes were cold.

“It’s time to put an end to it.” As he spoke, dark clouds suddenly rolled around him, thunder flashed, two pairs of blood-red eyes lit up in the black fog, and there was a faint sound of hissing.

The black fog, like ink, quickly spread out in all directions with him as the center. In a short while, it seemed to cover the whole world.

"Roar!" In the darkness, a poisonous snake with two horns on its head roared, and then slammed heavily into the ancient vein below.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the ground shook.

Then, there was a series of "cracking" sounds, as if something was breaking.

"Bang!" The next moment, the formation covering the ancient vein shattered in an instant like a mirror. At the same time, a transparent, colorful film emerged from the depths of the ancient vein.

Seeing this scene, Yan Shifan naturally knew that that was the location of the Lu family's secret realm.

"Hiss!" The poisonous snake spit out its tongue.

Endless black fog, wrapped in the huge snake body, rushed down fiercely.

The colorful film barrier was shattered without any resistance.

"Who bullies our Lu family like this?!" A shocked and angry voice rang out, and then a huge figure appeared.

After seeing Yan Shifan, the pupils of the Lu family leader suddenly shrank and he exclaimed: "Mahayana stage?!"

"Senior, is there any misunderstanding..." Before the head of the Lu family could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Shifan's cold and emotionless voice.

"Today, Home Inn bought one and didn't keep it."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Lu family members in the secret realm below changed drastically.

There was a look of horror on everyone's face.

They just heard that the clan leader called the invader in front of them a senior in the Mahayana stage!
The original Lu family was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After experiencing war and plague, the immortals worshipped by the clan left inexplicably for unknown reasons, and the family had long since fallen from a dominant force to an ordinary force.

Fortunately, they have the foundation of the Overlord Family, which allows them to isolate themselves from the secret realm and be self-sufficient.

As for other major forces, even if there is a strange plague raging, they will not attack you for no reason.

After all, there are rumors that the strange plague began to appear when the war spread throughout the world of cultivation.

Later, some people confirmed this, and some even suspected that the war caused the plague. Others said that wherever there is war, there is a plague outbreak area.

Therefore, ever since the strange plague ravaged the world of immortal cultivation, after the war stopped, all the overlord-level giant forces in the entire world of immortal cultivation began to retreat and seal themselves off from the outside world.

What the Confucians never expected was that today they would suddenly be attacked by monks led by a group of ministers.

The Lu family today does not have such behavior that is worth protecting.

The clan leader's cultivation was only at the late stage of the fusion stage. Even if he used some secret methods to forcibly raise his cultivation to the great perfection stage, he would not be able to be the opponent of a complete Mahayana cultivator.

The most important thing is that they still don’t know whether the Mahayana period in front of them is the early, middle or late stage!

Of course, what they couldn't understand at this moment was that a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, instead of meditating in the deep space outside the domain and waiting for the opportunity to ascend, why would he come to this weird place where everything is rampant to bully others?

You must know that since the emergence of the strange plague, even a cultivator in the Mahayana stage will not be spared if infected.

This further strengthened the determination of the entire immortal cultivation world, and all high-level cultivators fled to the deep space outside the domain.

Some high-level monks even went directly to some death stars for refuge.

At this time, the head of the Lu family was shocked and angry, and asked repeatedly: "Senior, why did you do this! What did my Lu family do wrong that you have to do this and kill us all!"

"Noisy."

Yan Shifan was indeed too lazy to waste time talking to him. After a light shout, a terrifying divine sense swept out and went straight into the depths of the Lu family.

The head of the Lu family, who was in seclusion in the Lu family's forbidden area, had no time to resist before he felt his body being enveloped by a huge divine consciousness.

The next moment, that terrifying divine thought violently and unreasonably poured directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

The moment his life was shattered in his sea of ​​consciousness, the soul of the head of the Lu family was instantly extinguished.

As his soul died, the head of the Lu family's body quickly aged, and then with a "bang", it turned into ashes!

"Kill." As Yan Shifan gave the order, his natal creature, the spirit snake, excitedly rushed into the Lu family's secret realm.

A bloody and indiscriminate massacre began.

About half an hour later, looking at the Lu family secret realm that had turned into ruins below, Yan Shifan looked at a storage ring spit out by the pet, played with it for a while, and then looked into the distance.

"Boom boom boom!" The war drums roared, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and then a space portal appeared.

Then, a large black mass of warships appeared.

Not only that, on the Golden Brick Avenue where the laws are condensed, tens of thousands of Ming troops whose cultivation has reached the Golden Core Stage appeared.

On a large red flag, the character “Hu” fluttered.

This scene was also seen throughout the entire Lingxu Island. Well, to be exact, the same scene was being played out in various places across the Western Continent.

Countless monks looked at this scene in shock.

After taking revenge, the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan had an idea and turned around to leave Lingxu Island.

Next, the entire world of cultivation will become the stage for the Ming conquerors!

"..." (End of this chapter)
