Chapter 909: Preparations of the Ming Dynasty, Matters Concerning the Immortal Sect
Chapter 909 - Preparations of the Great Ming Dynasty, matters of the Immortal Gate
Everyone wants immortality, especially those who hold power.
Unfortunately, even if they were in the position of God in the past, they knew that this could only prolong their lifespan, and it was simply a foolish dream to want immortality.
Although immortality exists between heaven and earth, it is indeed an unattainable existence for them. Even all the people in the entire Great Ming Dynasty dare not say that they are sure of immortality.
In the past, in the eyes of many people, among the many powerful people in the entire Great Ming Dynasty, in the future, only Wang Boan would be qualified to enter the realm of true immortals and truly obtain immortality.
Therefore, in this case, Wang Boan's position in the Great Ming Dynasty is very unique. Even if he does not fight for power and profit, there are countless people who show goodwill to him and want to borrow some of his shadow.
True immortals are immortal and immortal. As long as they can be related to future true immortals, even if they cannot use it now, they can still benefit future generations in the future.
The reason why Wang Qiong treated Wang Bo'an with courtesy after Wang Bo'an had separated from his own line was not only because of their past friendship, but also because he knew that he would die one day.
But Wang Bo'an was different. If he could become a true immortal one day, then if his descendants were not useful, they could still rely on his influence.
However, now that the temptation of immortality was in front of them, all this was not false. They did not need to think about relying on Wang Bo'an's influence. After all, if they could live forever, why should they rely on others.
If the Conferred God Plan was completed and the Ming Dynasty became the Heavenly Court, they would obtain the immortality and live forever with the heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty's orders are respected and we dare not disobey!"
The civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground one after another, and the sound of mountains and seas rang out, expressing their loyalty and respect for Zhu Houcong.
Indeed, there has always been a power game between the monarch and his ministers in the Divine Dynasty. However, if a strong monarch has endless achievements, he will naturally have supreme majesty, and even many ministers will not be able to check and balance him, and his orders will not be hindered in any way.
This is the case with Zhu Houcong at this moment. When the temptation of immortality is in front of him, all the thoughts and calculations of these civil and military officials are suppressed.
Is any interest planning more important than immortality?
Therefore, when the Conferred God Plan appeared, under the temptation of the throne, just as Pei Xuanjing and others predicted at the beginning, everyone's enthusiasm was quickly aroused. They were willing to give everything for immortality and disregard everything.
The major affairs of the country are sacrifices and wars. Such a matter of sending troops to conquer any force, any country, even for the righteousness of the human race, will require endless arguments and wrangling for a long time, and balancing the interests of all parties before it can be settled.
But at this moment, when the opportunity of immortality is in front of him, all disputes and wrangling will not appear, and there is no interest that needs to be balanced, because the interests of immortality are greater than everything.
At this moment, facing Zhu Houcong's proposal to conquer the demons and promote humanity, no one on the scene had any objection. On the contrary, it was recognized and agreed by everyone.
And I believe that even if this news is passed on, all the people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not object, and will definitely be overjoyed when they hear about the war.
Conquering the demons and promoting humanity, making meritorious deeds and fighting for immortality, under the condition of ensuring clear rewards and punishments, no one will refuse such an opportunity.
And with the world-famous Hai Gangfeng presiding over the matter of conferring gods, I believe that no one in the world will doubt that the other party will bend the law for personal gain and favor others.
Hai Gangfeng's name is not only spread in the Ming Dynasty, but also the human cultivators in the world have heard of him. Many cultivators from immortal gates and major forces have also heard of Hai Gangfeng's story.
All cultivators who have had contact and communication with Hai Gangfeng have been impressed by his character.
So when Pei Xuanjing decided to let Hai Gangfeng preside over the Conferred God event this time, not only did no one in the Great Ming Dynasty oppose it, but also the various forces in the world and countless scattered cultivators felt that it should be so.
Originally, the fourteen true immortals had already given countless human cultivators the trust, and the appearance of Hai Gangfeng added another layer of insurance to the Conferred God event, and even many ordinary people believed it without a doubt.
"From today on, the Divine Dynasty will reorganize its military, and the permanent troops of the border troops and guards in various places, the prefectures and counties, will be re-checked and re-inspected, and no vacancies will be allowed to exist." Zhu Houcong issued an order.
The troops that conquered the demons naturally had to reorganize their military, and Zhu Houcong's purpose of taking this opportunity to check the troops of the world was naturally clear to the ministers and elders.
In the past, they would definitely try their best to stop it, but now, these ministers and elders would never have the slightest obstruction, but would fully support Zhu Houcong, and they would not let anyone who dared to make a move.
The previous interests and rules need to be changed. These ministers and ministers will never allow anyone to hinder their chance of immortality. Those who hinder them are mortal enemies and must be eliminated.
After the court meeting on this day, the Ming Dynasty began to operate at a rapid speed.
Feudal imperialism has various shortcomings, but in terms of mobilization, once it is fully operational, it will not be hindered too much, especially under this top-down pressure, many of the problems within the Ming Dynasty are no longer obstacles at this moment.
In the past, the reason for the mutual quibbling and shirking of responsibility and the struggle for power and profit was ultimately because of the issue of interests. Now that there is the temptation of immortality, this is the greatest benefit, and everything else has to stand aside.
Not only the Ming Dynasty, when the Conferred God List was returned, all the cultivators got this information, whether they were all forces or many independent cultivators, they were completely motivated.
In the past, these forces had to consider some sustainable development and what foundation to leave for the sect forces, but now there is an opportunity for immortality, isn’t it the greatest foundation to seize a longevity god position for the sect.
These sect forces also took out all their foundations and began to strengthen the sect’s power as much as possible, in order to gain greater merits and seize the god position in the next war between the human race and the demon race.
The same is true for independent cultivators. For many independent cultivators, the opportunity for immortality they can see is now. If they can’t fight once with all their strength, they will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.
All the cultivators in the world have started to move. Although the human race and the demon race have not yet started the war, the dark clouds of the war have gathered between heaven and earth, and the strong calamity is permeating between heaven and earth. Everyone knows that this war is inevitable.
The army of the Great Ming Dynasty began to march towards the border, and the teams formed by various forces also approached the border, especially those ancient holy places. Their soldiers and Taoist soldiers are extremely elite and exude a brave and terrifying aura.
And long before they arrived, countless scattered cultivators gathered at the border. Some of these scattered cultivators chose to act alone, and some wanted to join Wang Boan’s army.
Seeing countless strong men from the human race gathering together, the demon race naturally responded. Strong men from the demon race also came from the demon domain one after another. The tribes of all parties stationed at the border together to guard against the human race’s attack.
So far, countless strong men have gathered at the border between the human race and the demon race, and the war is about to break out. It seems that only a reason and an excuse are missing.
On the back mountain of Xuantian Sect, Taoist Xuantian wore a crown and a black-patterned Taoist robe. Mysterious light flowed in his black pupils. Behind him, a black flag stood proudly. The flag fluttered, as if breaking through the chaos and dividing the yin and yang and the five elements. This was the Xuantian Sect's treasure, the Xuantian Flag, a semi-immortal weapon that was transforming into an immortal weapon.
True immortals cannot be looked at directly, even if there is no movement, but just standing here, even the will of heaven and earth will not deliberately descend, as if to retreat three points.
Behind Taoist Xuantian, stood a young man in a black Taoist robe, with a face like a crown jade, a calm expression, exuding a warm and noble aura. Even if he stood beside the True Immortal, he was not completely covered by the True Immortal, and could still emit his own brilliance, which was enough to show his excellence.
This was the disciple of Taoist Xuantian, the eldest brother of Xuantian Sect, who was favored by Taoist Xuantian. If he could not be promoted to True Immortal, after his death, the heir of Xuantian Sect, Xuan Lingzi, would be.
"Xuan Ling'er, you are the disciple that my master values the most. You have been gifted since childhood and have amazing comprehension. You have been able to reach the realm of the strongest in a short period of time. You are already proud of your peers, and even comparable to that Shenxiao Zhenjun. But even so, the immortal path is difficult, and it is not easy to set foot on the immortal path, especially in the current situation." Xuantian Taoist slowly turned around and said in a deep voice: "But this battle of conferred gods is a very rare opportunity. If you can take this opportunity to seize a god position, even if you can't set foot on the immortal path in the future, you can use the god position to live forever."
Xuan Lingzi was shocked, and looked at Xuantian Taoist in front of him with a little surprise. He said in astonishment: "Master, do you want your disciples to compete for this immortal god position?"
As the best of this generation of Xuantian Xianzong, for Xuan Lingzi, he wants to ascend to the immortal path with his own strength. Only such a strong man can control his own destiny.
The god position in the Investiture of the Gods List can indeed lead to longevity, but it is also subject to the control of others. After obtaining the god position, it is subject to the constraints of the holder of the Investiture of the Gods List.
The joys and sorrows between people are difficult to share.
For most of the cultivators in this world, the opportunity of longevity is out of reach for them, so the appearance of the god position in the Investiture of the Gods List is a ray of hope for them. They naturally want to seize this opportunity and fight for it with all their strength.
But for a small group of cultivators, their origin, talent, and understanding make them more yearning to step into the immortal path with their own strength, and they do not want to rely on the Investiture of the Gods List to gain longevity.
Especially heroes like Xuan Lingzi, they are not those casual cultivators who know nothing and have the support of true immortals. Xuan Lingzi naturally knows that the longevity of the Investiture of the Gods List has disadvantages.
If you get something, you must pay something. If you get the god position in the Investiture of the Gods List, you can live forever, but you must also abide by the rules of heaven and obey the orders of the holder of the Investiture of the Gods List.
If the person in charge of the Conferred God List was Xuantian Taoist, he would not mind, but the person in charge of this Conferred God List was Shenxiao Zhenjun. Even if the other party was a true immortal, in the eyes of a genius like Xuan Lingzi, he would have the opportunity to step into the realm of true immortals and be on par with the other party in the future, so how could he be willing to be controlled by others.
They also have their own pride and look down on such immortality. True immortals are the most powerful existences in the world, ruling the world and being supreme. "Fool, there is nothing absolute in the world, and you should be prepared for any eventuality. People who don't think about the future will have immediate worries! The position of the god in the Conferred God List is indeed controlled by others, but immortality is your qualification to pursue the true immortal." Xuantian Taoist shook his head and said.
The immortal path is difficult. Even though his disciple is very outstanding and has reached the realm of the strongest at such a young age, Xuantian Daoist, as a true immortal, knows how difficult it is to become a true immortal.
Even when the heaven and earth were promoted, with the help of the origin of heaven and earth, the mysterious mechanism of creation, and the support of the foundation of various forces, there were countless strongest people who wanted to try to break through the true immortal, but in the end, there were only fourteen human true immortals who succeeded.
Originally, he wanted to use the foundation of Xuantian Sect to help his disciples step into the immortal path and create another true immortal for Xuantian Sect.
However, the emergence of the Conferred God Plan is undoubtedly a good opportunity, giving these talented descendants and strong people a chance to fight for immortality. This is why Pei Xuanjing's plan has been supported by strong people from all sides.
Only with the position of God can he be qualified to step into the immortal path, and have enough time to explore and accumulate, so that he will not regret it in the future.
Seeing that his disciple still had some disapproval, Xuantian Taoist did not persuade him blindly. He said: "No matter what, as the eldest brother of Xuantian Sect, you naturally have to shoulder your own responsibilities. This time, you will be the leader of Xuantian Sect to participate in the human race's expedition against the demon race!"
Some things are better experienced once than to say them a thousand times. Xuantian Taoist knew that his disciple had been in the immortal gate for too long and lacked experience, not the ordinary experience.
It was because of his identity and status that he was sought after by countless people, and he was a little arrogant and didn't know what the real cultivation world was like.
This is actually the shortcoming of this generation of practitioners. Because of the opportunity of heaven and earth promotion, it is easier for them to break through to the strongest than before, but they also lack a lot of polishing and training.
In the eyes of Xuantian Taoist, these new strong people now have realms but no Dao heart, lack of training, and are more than one level worse than they used to be.
Regardless of whether his disciple wants to step into the immortal path with his own strength in the future, or to rely on the immortal god position, Xuantian Taoist feels that the other party's Tao heart has not been tempered to perfection, otherwise he would not have such an attitude.
Therefore, instead of persuading him more, it is better to let the other party experience it in the battle of conferred gods in person, to see the horror of the race war, to see the difficulties of the bottom practitioners and scattered practitioners, which is conducive to the other party's future growth.
"Since the master is interested, then the disciple will follow the master's wishes!" Xuan Lingzi is not a person who does not know how to adapt, and nodded and agreed.
"Haha, Xuan Ling'er, you are taking advantage and acting cute!" Xuantian Taoist smiled and shook his head.
"You have underestimated this Conferred God List. Although it was made by the True Immortals like us, it has been favored by the will of heaven and earth, and it has obtained the authority of heaven and earth. If you can master the top god position, even if you have never stepped into the immortal path, you will have unparalleled strength. Even if you can rely on your own authority to master the god position, your strength will be even higher, comparable to the True Immortals." Xuantian Taoist continued without waiting for Xuan Lingzi to speak.
I forgot to publish it yesterday, so sorry.
