The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 360: The Realm of Martial Arts Golden Elixir (4000 words)
After this massacre, the atmosphere in the capital and seventy-five provinces of the Ming Dynasty became strict.

After unifying the country, the ostentatious and extravagant atmosphere was almost half gone.

All officials and martial arts forces finally came to their senses and remembered the cruelty and brutality of Emperor Shengwu.

This is an emperor who often talks about the law and reason, but when he encounters people who break the law, he often does not talk to them about the law and reason.

His favorite thing to do to such people is to kill them.

Kill regardless of identity or strength.

Killing by uprooting.

Thousands or even tens of thousands were killed.

There will never be any leniency.

Even though many officials often say that there are endless corrupt officials in the world, they still use this to comfort themselves by doing illegal things.

But many officials were still frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.

Feeling fear, he restrained himself a lot.

Although they still believe that there are endless corrupt officials in the world.

But they also believed that Emperor Shengwu would not retreat, at least for now.

They will hunt down the criminal officials mercilessly and kill them without mercy.

Of course they were afraid of being found, which would mean certain death.

After returning to the capital, Zhu Houzhao also thought about it seriously for a while.

He understood more clearly that conquering the world is difficult and ruling the world is even more difficult.

Governing the world was indeed not as simple as he had previously thought.

The Ming Dynasty was too big to control itself, and there were too many people who deserved to be killed.

It has only been two years since he unified the country, and while he is still in the midst of full-scale reform, so many dirty things have happened.

These are what he discovered, there must be many more that he has not discovered.

The fight against corruption, bribery and violence must never stop.

Kill anyone you find, don't take it lightly.

He just didn't believe it, and he couldn't kill them all.

Zhu Houzhao made the decision and held a grand court meeting without any hesitation.

He sternly said in public that anyone found would be killed and there would be no leniency.

Then he greatly increased support for the Imperial Households and Imperial Guards, and severely punished a number of officials from the Censorate.

From the end of the 15th year of Shengwu, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of reform and recuperation while killing corrupt officials and arresting those who violated the law in the martial arts world.

During this period, the strength of the factory guards increased rapidly.

Under Zhu Houzhao's firm will, although there was some unrest in the four parts of Shenzhou, it was quickly calmed down.

On the night of June 23rd, the sixteenth year of Shengwu.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Sixth Level (56398/200000)

The fifth level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 199998/200000)

After seven and a half years, Zhu Houzhao had finally cultivated the fifth level of the Ming Shenwu Canon to its peak, with only two points left.

He could feel it, and this was all thanks to him unifying the world.

Otherwise the speed will be even slower.

Retracting his gaze, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Yaoqin who was resting on the bed, and said directly: "I am about to break through, and I will go to the retreat room now."

After saying that, he walked away.

Yang Yaoqin was awakened and looked puzzled when she saw that her husband was gone.

Your Majesty is about to break through!

What else does Your Majesty want to break through?
Suddenly, she looked shocked.

Your Majesty is about to break through the realm of heaven and man!

My emotions were fluctuating, but I didn't know what to do. I calmed down and decided to do nothing. I also pretended I didn't hear it and just waited.

In the retreat room that belonged to Zhu Houzhao alone but he rarely used it.

Without specifically notifying anyone, Zhu Houzhao began to break through.

After a dozen breaths.

The night sky of the capital suddenly changed.

The endless power of heaven and earth, like a surging wave, set off a huge wave and rushed towards the palace madly.

The wide range and great noise alarmed many masters in the capital in an instant.

All eyes turned towards the surging power of heaven and earth and the direction of the imperial palace.

As time went on, the shock in their eyes grew more intense.

With this kind of commotion, is someone breaking through to the Grandmaster level?
wrong.

After just a few breaths, all the knowledgeable masters denied it.

Could it be that someone is breaking through to the realm of heaven and man?

These people were speculating and secretly guessing which great grandmaster or extremely powerful person was about to break through to the realm of heaven and man!

Since the Ming Dynasty eliminated Temujin and his five followers in one fell swoop, the only one who broke through to the realm of heaven and man was Lang Fanyun.

I wonder who this second person could be?

They guessed one name after another, but couldn't be sure of any of them.

Then, after another ten or so breaths, people with insight noticed that something was wrong.

This doesn't look like someone has broken through to the realm of heaven and man. The noise is too loud.

It was so big that it was beyond imagination, much bigger than the noise when His Majesty (Emperor Shengwu) broke through.

The surging power of heaven and earth made even the great masters feel terrified, as if they would be blown away if they dared to stand in front of it.

How is it possible that when someone breaks through to the heavenly realm, such a commotion would occur?

Absolutely not.

So what is this?
The masters in the capital were all confused and looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, guessing that it must have been done by His Majesty.

But it was night and no one dared to move.

Only a few people ordered full defense and martial law in the capital.

Simultaneously.

In several places in the capital, people like Tuoba Bodhisattva, Li Yang eunuch and others were all looking in the direction of the imperial palace with shocked expressions, filled with disbelief, excitement, hesitation and complexity.

After a long while, these people still had nothing to say and continued to watch quietly.

At this time in the imperial palace, Duke Zheng, concubines and others who had already returned to the palace gathered in the distance of Zhu Houzhao's retreat room, waiting with frowns on their brows.

His expression showed excitement and worry.

They had already learned from Yang Yaoqin that His Majesty suddenly said that he was about to make a breakthrough and then disappeared.

From this sentence, plus the movement at this moment, they could naturally guess that His Majesty was about to break through the realm of heaven and man and reach a higher realm!

This is unprecedented.

How can I not be excited and worried?
Time passed slowly, and the power of heaven and earth surrounding the capital city was growing stronger and stronger.

Twenty li, forty li, eighty li, one hundred li...
There was no way to conceal this kind of movement.

More and more people noticed the strange phenomenon in the capital.

There were also more and more people who had guessed something and were looking towards the capital with restless expressions.

June 24th arrived and another day passed.

By nightfall, the noise had spread to an area of ​​more than two hundred miles.

Transparent ripples appeared in the sky over an area of ​​more than two hundred miles, as if water was flowing, and even ordinary people could see it.

Just when everyone's emotions were becoming increasingly unstable.

"Boom~!"

A roar appeared between heaven and earth.

Then, a huge sun rose from the imperial palace, shining brightly and bringing light back to the black sky and earth.

This strange sight instantly shocked countless Ming people, who stared at the sun in amazement.

"Hahaha~!"

The next moment, loud laughter familiar to many people was earth-shattering and echoed in the sky.

"I have made a breakthrough! Above the Heavenly Man Realm! Hahaha~!"

The domineering and heroic voice made almost everyone feel at ease and excited immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty has broken through to the realm of heaven and man!
Those who understand martial arts are even more shocked.

Those who do not understand martial arts are simply happy for their Majesty.

Everywhere in the capital.

Many ministers of the Ming Dynasty were overjoyed, as they knew more. If His Majesty had made a breakthrough, it meant that His Majesty could very likely solve the problem of the emperor's life span, or at least live longer.

The Ming Empire will definitely exist longer.

Tuoba Bodhisattva, Liyang Eunuch and others had even more complicated expressions, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't take the opportunity to do anything.

Then I was curious about what the situation was like above the realm of heaven and man?
In the palace, Duke Zheng, concubines and others all smiled.

As long as it succeeds!
June 24th, the sixteenth year of Shengwu.

Emperor Shengwu broke through to an unprecedented realm above heaven and man. That night, a huge sun appeared across the sky, illuminating hundreds of miles.

When the news came out, countless people in the Ming Dynasty were shocked and surprised.

There are also some people who truly feel desperate.

A breakthrough to a level above heaven!

How can it be?

That monster, that monster...
When they thought that Emperor Shengwu would live longer, they couldn't stop feeling despair.

Countries outside the Ming Dynasty were even more devastated and desperate.

Then, with a feeling of despair, I wrote a joyful congratulations letter.

In a river in Daming.

Xiao Sanxiao, who was fishing, heard the news.

There was disbelief in his weathered eyes.

Above the realm of heaven and man!
How can it be?

how can that be possible?
It is obvious that the world of heaven and earth cannot give birth to anything above the realm of heaven and man, how is that possible?
He ignored the risk of being discovered by Zhu Houzhao and began to move towards the capital, wanting to confirm something.

At this time, powerful people at the level of heaven and man began to arrive in the capital one after another.

These celestial beings who used to hide somewhere unknown are now running to the capital one after another.

The large number surprised even the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty’s own people, such as Zhang Sanfeng, Wuji, Yin Zhong, and Lang Fanyun.

Dugu Qiubai and Xiaoyaozi from the 19th western province, Sun En and Xiang Yutian from the 16th eastern province, Zhang Fuyao and Wang Xianzhi from Liyang.

There are also Wu Wudi, Chuan Ying and others from more than a dozen provinces.

Everyone knows the purpose of these people coming to the capital.

For these peak powerful people who stand at the realm of heaven and man, what attracts them most is, of course, the road above heaven and man.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not tell these people directly, but only told the details to the people in the Ming court.

As for the other celestial beings, Zhu Houzhao expressed disdain.

You guys, I've never seen you help the Ming Dynasty in any way before, and you all hide so deeply.

The Ming Dynasty unified the world, but no one dared to come out and show themselves as Ming people.

Now that they see there are benefits, they come out to get them.

Pooh.

How can it be so easy?
Zhu Houzhao was unhappy and criticized these people mercilessly.

As for whether it will make these celestial beings unhappy?
Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all. Anyone who dared to object would be slapped to death.

He was now confident that he could kill anyone with a slap.

Who cares whether you are happy or not?

The Ming Dynasty no longer needs these celestial beings to do anything now?

Even if these celestial beings joined forces, he could kill them all with one slap.

This was Zhu Houzhao’s confidence at the time.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Level 59568 (Not yet qualified: 200000/)

The fifth level of Mingshen Wudian (201841/1000000)

Only after breaking through to the realm above heaven and man did Zhu Houzhao realize how powerful this realm was.

All the true energy in his body condensed into a martial arts golden elixir.

The strength increased dozens of times.

It is completely on a different level from the realm of heaven and man, there is a world of difference between them.

Zhu Houzhao himself felt that he was now extremely powerful.

He can move mountains and cut off seas, as if he can do anything in this world.

He even felt that this world was too small.

It's just that strong.

It was not until a month later that Zhu Houzhao gave those celestial beings a chance after being advised by Zhang Sanfeng and others.

An opportunity to pledge allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and gain a chance to achieve a state above heaven and earth.

Not surprisingly, all the celestial beings agreed.

Just be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Shengwu was so powerful that he had paved all the way to the heavens and above.

There's nothing wrong with being loyal to him.

Besides, the situation in the Ming Dynasty basically does not go against their will.

In the sixteenth year of Shengwu, the Ming Dynasty had a supreme power who was above the gods.

There are more than ten powerful people in the realm of heaven and man.

The strength has increased explosively.

Of course, it is just a transition from invincible to even more invincible, and on the surface there is not much difference.

But the actual influence is incomparable.

The first person to bear the brunt of the impact was Zhu Houzhao himself, not how powerful he was.

Instead, he has made a breakthrough, and the problem of his lifespan is likely to have been solved.

This is the most important thing.

Those who were secretly waiting for Zhu Houzhao's death were almost in despair.

Many people in the Ming Dynasty also became more confident.

As long as Your Majesty is here, there will be no trouble in the Ming Dynasty.

Under this influence, many aspects of the Ming Dynasty were changing for the better.

Zhu Houzhao noticed this change and was quite pleased.

Then I found that there were fewer things I could do.

It seems that his function is just to exist there.

He felt there was nothing wrong with it.

He wished that everything in the Ming Dynasty would be good so that there would be no reason for him to interfere or get angry.

But he was also a man who couldn't sit still, so he started to settle scores.

Under an iceberg far to the north of the Ming Dynasty.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao came with a slightly ferocious smile.

"You damn old man, I finally found you."

The sound made the iceberg tremble.

Indra trembled with fear and was about to run away.

But the next moment, a big hand grabbed him back, and his whole body became limp and unable to move.

"Run, where do you want to run to?

Can you still run away from me?" Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Emperor Shitian begged for mercy without saying a word.

The speed was so fast that even Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

He is a celestial being after all, why did he kneel down so quickly!
He had never seen a celestial being kneel so quickly and so thoroughly, and he even asked for mercy.

He immediately came to his senses and said with even more disdain: "Humph, you still want me to forgive you?

You have been against me for so many years and have killed so many people in the Ming Dynasty. You should have been cut into pieces long ago."

"Your Majesty, I am useful. I can be of great use to you." Emperor Shitian begged for mercy quickly.

"What's the use?" Zhu Houzhao became a little curious.

"I can make pills, all kinds of pills." Emperor Shitian said without hesitation. This was his specialty.

"Do I care?" Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

Emperor Shitian only felt more and more terrified, and said again: "Your Majesty, I can help you find the dragon."
