Chapter 206: My destiny plateau! Prince Yu: Father, you know that I never like beautiful women! This is the real reason why Jiajing was the first to reflect Yan Song’s destiny and bestow him with the destiny object. Because only Yan Song understood him, and would stand by him unwaveringly, thinking what he thought and what he wanted. Which emperor would not like such a minister? Before a cultivator breaks through the foundation-building stage, he cannot bind to his natal object and nourish his natal life, but that was in the past. Things are different now. There were three thousand concubines in the harem, and he slept with twelve of them every day, which indeed allowed him to gain a lot of practical seeds of his innate talents. The innate talent of one of the concubines is a "natal field". As the name suggests, one can plant one's own destiny, but it is just that one plants other people's destiny and then lets other people's destiny feed back to oneself. You can even use other people's power to fight yourself. Of course, the prerequisite for planting the natal fruit in the natal field is that others voluntarily offer their natal fruit. This can be said to be useless, but it is very suitable for emperors like Jiajing, or people who are developing a family of immortal practitioners. If all the cultivators of an entire dynasty offered up their own life force and planted it in their life fields, then fighting with others would be equivalent to one person taking on an entire dynasty alone. In addition, the "Birth Field" has another use. That is, the person who offered his life force did not need to bind his own soul to his life force. The life force field would be bound to the life force, and then the life force field would directly feed back the cultivation to these people. Of course, the premise was that the soul of the owner of the life force field was bound to his life force.
In other words, the natal field can also be considered an auxiliary talent. Of course, in this case, how much cultivation will be rewarded to those who have offered their life fields depends on the wishes of the owner of the "life field". If you don't like someone, you can "cut off" or "limit" his flow at any time, with precise control! In addition, with the feedback from the natal object, the "natal field" can also grow. Like the concubine herself, she also needs to bind a piece of spiritual field to serve as her natal object, and then feed back to her own "natal field". But Jiajing didn't need that. The entire Ming Dynasty was his natal property. As long as Jiajing was willing, he could designate any piece of land in the Ming Dynasty as his "natal field", well, it should be called "natal plateau"! Of course, another point is that anyone who sacrifices his or her life is equivalent to giving everything he or she has to others. This situation can also avoid the occurrence of betrayal. Although the Ming Dynasty developed into a place where the interests of the aristocratic families were closely tied to those of the imperial court, when it came time to get involved in the world of cultivating immortals, these families would always be of one mind with the imperial court and themselves. But when that day really came, he still had to carry out a reform. After all, Li Shimin gained the world with the support of his aristocratic family. But after he became emperor, he also wanted to take back the influence of his aristocratic family. One day in the future, the situation of the Ming Dynasty will be the same as that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I hope that these immortal cultivation families can be of one mind with the court, but after using them, I also hope that they can put themselves in the right position. But due to human nature, only a few people can return to their hometown after conquering the world. Otherwise, Taizu would not have killed so many meritorious officials. above the hall. As Yan Song knelt down to show his loyalty, others also knelt down. Yan Shifan was the first to follow his father Yan Song and said loudly: "What Elder Yan said is exactly right!" "We are now able to embark on the path of immortality and change our fate. We have unlimited possibilities for ourselves and our family, all thanks to your majesty's grace. No matter what your majesty says or does, we will follow you until death." Of course, the people from the Imperial Household Department also knelt down at this time. They were originally the emperor's slaves, so naturally there was no question of whether they were willing or not. "In that case, I will tell you the method. As for whether you are willing or not, it is entirely up to you..." Then Jiajing told everyone about the matter of "birth field". After listening to Jiajing's talk about the role and efficacy of the "Birth Field", the main hall of Yuxi Palace suddenly fell into silence.
Yan Song knelt on the ground, his drooping eyelids twitched, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. All kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind, and he was about to express his opinion without even thinking. But at this moment, Jiajing's voice suddenly sounded again. "Yan Shifan." Jiajing raised his hand, and Yan Shifan's body was stunned. The next moment, a roar was heard from the hall. Under the reflection of his own destiny, Yan Shifan's own destiny also appeared at the ceremony. Everyone looked at the venomous snake that was pitch black, had horns on its head, sharp fangs, was several feet tall, had bloodshot eyes, and was swallowing and spitting out its core. They all had strange expressions on their faces. No one expected that Yan Shifan's real life was actually a poisonous snake. However, looking at the snake in front of them, they inexplicably felt that this man and this snake were so perfectly matched. The snake is greedy and yet it wants to swallow an elephant. He is so arrogant and rebellious. Isn't this referring to the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan? "This is your natal item, the spirit snake." Another beast-taming bag appeared, followed by a snake egg as big as a human head. Under Yan Shifan's puzzled gaze, Jiajing spoke slowly. "By dripping blood to acknowledge your master, you can sign a master-servant contract with this unhatched spirit snake." After hearing Jiajing's words, although Yan Shifan was confused for a moment by the "Birth Field", his actions were not slow at all. He quickly practiced the "Qi Drawing Technique" and forced a drop of blood from his fingertips, which dripped onto the spirit snake egg in front of him. "Swish!" As a blood-red light flashed, a mysterious blood-red pattern like a snake appeared on the jade-like eggshell and flashed away. "Your Majesty, I, Yan Shifan, thank you for bestowing me with this life-saving gift!" After completing the master-servant contract, Yan Shifan kowtowed and expressed his gratitude. "Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou..." Without paying any attention to Yan Shifan, Jiajing waved his hand and directly displayed the real names of all the people in the cabinet and the Imperial Household Department. Hu Zongxian's original natal weapon was a long sword with a cold glow, so Jiajing gave him a top-grade magical sword. Wang Chonggu's original object was a bow, so Jiajing gave him a crossbow, which was also a top-grade magical weapon. Yu Dayou's original form was a black dragon. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, the black dragon was a spiritual beast of a high level of cultivation. Therefore, Jiajing gave him a spiritual snake egg, the same as the one given to Yan Shifan. Then, the natal charts of Chen Hong, Huang Jin and Shi San are a dice, a rock and a jade respectively. None of them had a good destiny, but fortunately, Jiajing rewarded each of them with a piece of top-grade refining material - the Five Elements Stone. The Five Elements Stone, as the name suggests, contains the five elements. When refining equipment, the properties of the spiritual energy injected will be different according to different needs, and the Five Elements Stone will also become a stone with corresponding properties. The key point is that because it is a refining material, various materials can be continuously added to it for polishing in the later stage to improve its quality. "Alright, your destiny has been revealed, and I have granted you your destiny objects," Jiajing said, waving his hand and standing up. "As for whether you want to hand over your destiny to me and plant your destiny fields, it is entirely up to you. I will not force you." "It's getting late today, and I have said everything I need to say. Those who have decided to give their lives to me for safekeeping will hand them over tomorrow. You can go back and think carefully before making a decision today." "Prince Yu and Prince Jing stay, everyone else can go..." After saying that, Jiajing stood up and walked towards the side hall. Prince Yu and Prince Jing hurriedly followed. In the main hall of Yuxi Palace, after Jiajing left, everyone, including Yan Song, looked hesitant. "Dad..." Yan Shifan helped Yan Song up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Yan Song's eyes, "Go back and tell me." As he spoke, Yan Song looked at Hu Zongxian who was looking at him and said: "You Zhen will come along too." Yan Shifan and Hu Zongxian supported Yan Song out of Yuxi Palace on each side. As for Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou, they looked at each other and looked at Hu Zongxian's back with a hint of envy in their eyes. This is the benefit of having someone to lean on!
Although Hu Zongxian, like them, belonged to the New Party, Yan Song was standing behind him. Not only that, Hu Zongxian was also highly valued by Yan Song. Whenever Hu Zongxian was undecided about something in the court or could not resolve something, Yan Song would take action. It can be said that Yan Song helped Hu Zongxian without considering the consequences or rewards. The relationship between the two was that of master and apprentice, but in fact, it was like that of father and son. Just like now, Hu Zongxian is undecided about whether to hand over his life to the emperor. He can discuss it with Yan Song, the shrewd old fox. And what about them? Although Prince Yu and Prince Jing were standing behind them, the two princes could only do so much to help them. Even though the power in the court is now divided between the two princes and Yan Song, the ministers in the court are all smart people and they all know that the two princes have no future. Because everyone in the court and the country has already tacitly agreed that Prince Yu and Prince Jing will not be able to participate in the fight for the crown prince. In fact, there is not much hope for these two new parties, except for the soldiers in the army who are willing to follow them until death. But the old men in the army have already begun planning to find another way out. When they thought about the fate issues they were facing and the direction of their future, they looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. "Brother Zhifu, what are you going to do?" Outside Yuxi Palace, when they were about to part, Wang Chonggu looked at Yu Dayou, with an impulsive look between his brows, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. "Xuefu, if you want to say something, just say it directly." Yu Dayou said, and then paused for a moment, and then continued: "In this court, only you and I can discuss it." "Well," Wang Chonggu took a deep breath and exhaled after hearing what Yu Dayou said, then nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Brother Zhifu said so, then I will say whatever I want." "I have decided. When His Royal Highness Prince Yu returns, if he agrees, I will hand over my life to His Majesty." When Yu Dayou heard Wang Chonggu say this, he did not look surprised at all. He knew that Wang Chonggu must be talking about this matter. "What Xuefu said is what I want to say as well." Yu Dayou said, sighed, and said: "Your Highnesses have been indebted to you and me. Without your support, you and I would never have been able to enter the cabinet, let alone obtain the immortal law." "So no matter how the future develops, I, Yu Dayou, will follow His Royal Highness Prince Jing until death. I'm sure Xuefu will be the same and will never leave His Royal Highness Prince Yu's side." Yu Dayou came from an ordinary family, and Wang Chonggu was of similar origin. It can be said that the two of them had no foundation at all in the Ming Dynasty. The reason they came to this point was entirely due to the factional struggles in the court. However, warriors value friendship and remember the favor of helping each other. Handing over their lives to the emperor was a safe move for the two of them, but they still decided to follow the arrangements of the two kings. "Good man!" After a long silence, Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu suddenly smiled knowingly and expressed their approval of each other. Prince Yu and Prince Jing did not know what Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu were thinking at this time. At this time, they both stood nervously in the side hall of Yuxi Palace. Should I hand over my life to my father? This is also what the two of them are hesitating about at the moment. Although the emperor's move to take concubines was to continue the royal bloodline, there would inevitably be many brothers and sisters in the future. Even the court and the people had tacitly agreed that the emperor had given up on the two of them. However, this does not mean that they give up on themselves! Although being the crown prince for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years is frustrating, the huge resources that come with the crown prince status cannot be ignored. They have even made up their minds. As it involves huge resources, even if neither of them can become the crown prince, the other princes will never be able to become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty easily! If the emperor asked them to hand in their own lives at this time, wouldn't it mean that after the emperor has determined the candidate for the crown prince, they, the princes, would have no confidence to compete with him? Even if one day in the future, the emperor gives the throne to the prince, will the "birth field" also be given to the prince? If this is the case, then aren't these foreign kings like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others and unable to resist? What does it matter if you develop your family to the top? If your life is in the hands of others and can be destroyed with a thought, then what is the point of cultivating immortality? What is the point of working so hard? This life must not be handed over! In a split second, Prince Yu and Prince Jing made the same decision. If they want to fight, if they surrender their lives, there will be no room for them to resist the orders of the emperor. "Zhu Zaizhen," Jiajing naturally didn't know, nor did he want to know what his two sons were thinking, so he said directly: "Your destiny is a 'treasure bowl of mountains and rivers'."
As Jiajing's voice sounded, the natal chart above the hall reflected the natal chart of Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen. A basin-sized, golden treasure bowl with dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, mountains and rivers carved on it. Prince Yu and Prince Jing, who had come to their senses, were also attracted by the zodiac in front of them. "Is this my destiny?" King Jing looked at the golden treasure bowl floating in front of him, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "This thing is called 'Qian Kun Bowl'," Jiajing's voice sounded again at this time, and with a wave of his hand, a purple-gold bowl the size of a human head appeared, "It is a top-grade treasure!" "It can be freely enlarged and reduced, and it can attack and defend at the same time. It also has the potential to become a spiritual weapon. Today, I will give it to you as your life object. You need to use your own spiritual energy to refine it. When your cultivation breaks through the foundation and your spiritual consciousness is born, you can bind it to your primordial spirit and store it in the spiritual energy acupoints." According to the General Notes on Cultivation, before a cultivator breaks through the Qi Refining Stage, he or she will open up their own acupoints. These acupoints are used to store spiritual energy. Each acupoint can be seen as a "different space" hidden in the human body. Some ancient physical practitioners, who have now been almost eliminated from the cultivation world, are even more focused and obsessed with the cultivation of the "secret acupoints". They believe that the human body itself is a treasure, and these acupoints are the gateway to the treasure. It is rumored that in the ancient world of immortal cultivation, there was a branch of physical cultivation that delved into some techniques and inadvertently discovered certain laws from the acupoints, and cultivated their own magical powers. However, with the development of the times, this so-called "secret treasure of the acupoints" is generally recognized by the world of immortal cultivation and respected powerful monks as a shortcut to practice. It is not recommended for younger generations of practitioners to imitate the ancients and follow their path. First of all, in ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant and the laws of heaven and earth were different from today. This kind of "secret treasure of the acupoints" was more suitable for the practice of human cultivators of that period. Secondly, the so-called "supernatural powers and techniques" obtained through practicing the "secret treasures of the acupoints" are themselves the innate talents of the cultivators. Facts have proven that the supernatural powers acquired by most physical cultivators are their innate talents. As long as the foundation is established, one can connect to the innate nature, and then use the innate talents smoothly. However, one ends up neglecting the main purpose and trying to obtain the innate talents through the acupoints by oneself, which is too stupid. Of course, these are just a few words recorded in the "General Notes on Cultivation", and they are also present in the current world of cultivation, but the path to cultivation still follows the methods of the "new era". "...Zhu Zaizhen." Jiajing ignored Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen and turned his gaze to Prince Yu. "Your son is here!" Prince Yu was startled, and took a step forward, while secretly guessing in his heart, "Fourth brother's destiny is a treasure pot of mountains and rivers, I wonder what mine is?" Looking at Prince Yu, Jiajing's serious face sank slightly. Prince Yu's fate really made him, an old father, lose face. A naked woman with thirty-three forms. The key is how to reward him with his natal item? Could he be rewarded with thirty-three women? “Huh?!” Seeing his father’s face darken and he remained silent, Prince Yu’s originally excited heart suddenly calmed down, and his heart couldn’t help but sink. Could it be that his fate was not good? Or maybe, my destiny is somewhat special? Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen, who was standing aside, put the purple gold bowl in his hand into the storage bag, and then looked at his father. He couldn't help but speculate secretly in his heart, could it be that there was something wrong with his third brother's fate? At this time, Lu Fang, who was serving beside him, naturally knew why his master was silent. When he was helping everyone choose their natal objects from the treasure mountain, he already knew Prince Yu's natal object. To be honest, he didn't expect that Prince Yu's real life object was actually a human being. This real life object was indeed... well, it couldn't be said to be difficult to deal with, after all, there were so many people, but it would be weird to tell others about it! Sometimes Lu Fang wondered if he was born in the wrong place. Destiny is something that one is born with. Although there is no firm statement in the 'General Notes on Cultivation' that destiny is related to the cultivator himself, based on his observations and conclusions, even if there is no connection, it will not be too far off the mark. For example, his spiritual attributes are both fire and wood, so his natal star is a furnace tripod. Another example is the national teacher Qingfeng, her personality is like clouds, and her natal star is an invisible five-element cloud. Another example is Lord Yan, who has a greedy, cruel, and overbearing character. His zodiac sign is a tiger. Yan Shifan is wild and rampant, and he is vindictive. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant, so his zodiac sign is a snake. Although these things cannot be said to be 100% related to one's destiny, personality, or spiritual attributes, they are at least not too different.
But isn’t this, Prince Yu, too outrageous? Everyone in the court and the country knew that Prince Yu was of a gentlemanly nature and not interested in beautiful women. So far, he only had one principal wife and one concubine, Li. Before this, there were ministers in the court who presented beauties to Prince Yu, but he rejected them all in a stern manner. As time went by, everyone knew that Prince Yu was a true gentleman of the Qingliu faction. Even before Xu Jie and other Qingliu people had a falling out with Prince Yu, many Qingliu people privately discussed that if Prince Yu became the emperor, he would not be misled by beauty and would become a famous emperor in history. But who can tell me why Prince Yu’s real life is a naked woman with thirty-three forms of appearance. The thirty-three dharma forms mean that there are thirty-three appearances and thirty-three body forms, which is equivalent to having thirty-three if you have one. Wouldn't that be extremely cool for some lustful ghosts? But Prince Yu is not like that. He is not interested in beautiful women! "Your destiny is somewhat special..." Finally, in the tense atmosphere where Prince Yu was nervous, Prince Jing was curious and suspicious, and Lu Fang lowered his head and sighed, Jiajing spoke slowly and said: "Zhu Zaizhen, you go back first." Is it because of something special? Hearing that his father actually asked him to leave, King Jing thought to himself, but he couldn't disobey. Besides, he didn't want to stay any longer. What if his father asked him whether he had handed over his life, how would he answer? No matter whether his father deliberately did not ask, waiting for him and his third brother to hand it over voluntarily, or whether he could not take care of it because of his third brother's fate, for him at this moment, he had to leave as soon as possible! As for what the third brother’s destiny is, I’ll find out later. "Your son will take his leave." After bowing, King Jing glanced at the nervous King Yu and turned to leave, fearing that he would be called back. At this time, Lu Fang also spoke up, saying, "I will see your Highness off..." Hearing Lu Fang's words, King Jing was stunned and nodded immediately. How could he not see that old man Lu Fang did not want to stay here, definitely to avoid suspicion? Doesn't this mean that old man Lu Fang also knew what his third brother's destiny was? After Lu Fang and Prince Jing left, Prince Yu became even more nervous. What exactly is his true destiny? Why did Lü Fang, his father's personal companion, have to avoid suspicion? Prince Yu couldn't help but become more and more nervous. “Look for yourself…” Jiajing raised his hand lightly, and under the reflection of his own destiny, Prince Yu’s destiny also appeared. And at the moment when Benming appeared, Prince Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, and his breathing even slowed down a bit at this moment. In the pre-Qin period, there was a poem that said: "The daughter of the eastern family, if she grows one inch taller, she is too tall; if she loses one inch, she is too short; if she puts on powder, she is too white; if she puts on rouge, she is too red; her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, her skin is like white snow; her waist is like a piece of silk, her teeth are like pearls; her charming smile can confuse Yangcheng and enchant Xiacai." Cao Zhijian's Ode to the Goddess of Luo River says: "Her figure is as graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon, as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and as flourishing as a spring pine. Her hair is like a light cloud covering the moon, and it flutters like snow blown by the wind. From a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. From close up, it is as bright as a lotus emerging from the green waves. … Her shoulders are as sharp as a knife, her waist is as white as a willow. Her neck is long and slender, her white skin is exposed, her fragrance is unparalleled, and she cannot be covered by makeup…” Is it the son of the Dong family or the goddess Luo? No, the son of the Dong family is far inferior to him, and the goddess Luo is also far inferior to him. There are thirty-three changes in the Dharma phases, and in each one she is naked, yet one feels that she should be like this. Haziness is beauty, but in none of these thirty-three Dharma phases is it applicable. She should be naked. Seeing his expression change from shock at the beginning to obsession, Jiajing's face darkened, and he flicked his sleeves, and his life disappeared. "Wow!" The spiritual energy swept through, and Prince Yu's face was deformed. Prince Yu, who suddenly woke up, immediately knelt on the ground with a "thump" and shouted in panic: "Your Highness, I have failed to behave properly in front of you. Please punish me, Father!" Impossible, absolutely impossible! I, Zhu Zaigui, have always been aloof from beautiful women, and I am a gentleman. How could my destiny be such a promiscuous woman? What would my father think of me? At this moment, Prince Yu felt that God was playing a joke on him! The emperor didn't like him in the first place, and then he gave up on him, the eldest son, when choosing an heir. Now his mother is such a lewd and evil woman. How would the emperor look at him? "…Father!" Prince Yu, who was a little flustered, spoke immediately, "Please listen to my son's explanation…" Jiajing looked at Prince Yu's appearance, his serious face darkened slightly, and he said coldly: "Speak."
The thing called destiny is originally determined by heaven, as recorded in the “General History of Cultivation”. Jiajing naturally agreed with this and would never associate destiny with personal character. The reason why he had a cold face was because he didn't like Prince Yu's panicked look. How long has he been training? He still can't remain calm in the face of praise or criticism, which makes him a little disappointed. Of course, Jiajing was somewhat unfair to Prince Yu. Not to mention that he was an capricious, ungrateful, selfish and cold emperor. Now he is also an immortal cultivator who holds the lifeblood of everyone and his power is unprecedented. How can Prince Yu, who has been traumatized since childhood, remain calm in the face of him? Even Yan Song, facing the current Jiajing, would be so frightened that he would toss and turn all night long if he was not careful, let alone Prince Yu who had been frightened since childhood? "Your Majesty, you know that I have never been interested in beautiful women, and I have only one concubine, Li..." Prince Yu explained quickly. "You are too modest!" However, after hearing the words "never interested in beautiful women", Jiajing sneered in his heart. In his memory, there were historical books from later generations about what his son did after he became emperor. The lustful ghost, that's him! "..." (End of this chapter)
