Chapter 321 The Immortal Who Mistakenly Entered the Ming Dynasty "Yan Shifan, you are so insolent, someone come here..." Seeing that Yan Shifan dared to cause trouble in Yuxi Palace, Lu Fang became furious and was about to ask the eunuchs outside to drag him out, but was interrupted by Jiajing. "...that's all." Jiajing said, waving his sleeves, playing with the Spine of Creation in his hand, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Lu Fang on the side quickly bowed and stepped aside. Yan Song knelt on the ground with his head lowered, drowsy, while Yan Shifan put his head on the floor, not daring to breathe. "The Spine of Creation, appearing one after another, could it be a coincidence..." Inexplicably, his intuition told Jiajing that the story behind this might not be as simple as it seemed. At his level, any fluctuations and doubts in his mood are subtle revelations from the universe to him. Of course, if it were those with weak cultivation or ordinary cultivators, the uneasiness in their hearts might be the comprehension of the laws of heaven. However, Jiajing was, on the one hand, a Mahayana cultivator, and on the other hand, he was the Heavenly Dao of the Earth. All his premonitions naturally came from the Great Dao. It is precisely because of his own identity that he is much closer to the Tao than any other living being. Therefore, his premonition was the most accurate. As long as he felt that there must be other engines behind this matter, there must be.
"Get up." Thinking of this, Jiajing looked up at Yan Song and his son who were kneeling on the ground, and at the same time gave Lu Fang a look. The latter understood and immediately brought a small stool for Yan Song. "Thank you, Your Majesty." After Yan Song thanked him, he sat down steadily. "I actually already knew about the Bone of Creation that Yan Shifan brought, and I was also looking for it." Jiajing said, looking at Yan Shifan meaningfully. At this moment, Yan Shifan, who was caught by Jiajing's eyes, felt as if struck by lightning after hearing these words! But at this moment, he was more grateful in his heart, grateful that he was not affected by greed. Well, of course, there was also his father. Thinking of this, Yan Shifan glanced to the side. I saw that when the emperor was speaking, my father Yan Song looked like he was half listening and half not listening. At this moment, God knows to what extent Yan Shifan admires his father Yan Song. In fact, although he had already decided to hand over the Bone of Creation to the emperor when he was in the world of immortal cultivation, after returning home, he immediately went to his father to inquire about this matter. At that moment, his instinct was actually to get the answer from his father Yan Song about leaving the Bone of Creation in the Yan family. However, after my father learned the secret of the Bone of Creation and the method to open the road to heaven, he took me into the palace without even thinking about it. When it comes to greed and selfishness for huge interests, if my father dares to admit that he is second, no one dares to claim to be first. But even a corrupt official like my father Yan Song could remain unmoved? This is incredible! Of course, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Father Yan Song’s self-control had reached an extremely terrifying level. At that moment, he realized that this thing was not something the Yan family could master at all, and he made a judgment instantly. Fortunately, my father is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, second only to one person and above everyone else, a pinnacle existence. Consider the problem wisely enough! Otherwise, if I had obtained this founding bone, I would not have presented it to the emperor immediately, but would have kept it for myself. When the Emperor collects the Bones of Creation and finds the Yan family behind them, the Yan family will have no way out but death! Moreover, even if he offered the Bone of Creation to the Emperor in the future, the situation would be extremely embarrassing. So instead of doing that, it would be better to offer the Bone of Creation now and then, which will increase your status in the emperor's heart.
I can only say, I’m so lucky! No, to be exact, it was his father Yan Song's loyalty to the emperor that caught him off guard. "Someone told me that this thing is called the 'Spine of Creation'," he said, spreading his palms, and the remaining two vertebrae floated out, "but the effect is the same." Besides the Emperor, there are other people collecting the Bones of Creation! ? Yan Shifan felt even more fortunate, and then, in order to show off, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this item is extremely important to our Great Ming Dynasty. No one else or force is allowed to obtain it!" Ignoring Yan Shifan's words of loyalty, Jiajing looked at the three Ridges of Creation floating in his palm. "Now, I already know the method to open the road to heaven. What I need to do next is to collect all of them." Jiajing paused slightly, looked at Yan Song, and said: "Lord Yan, what do you think about the Spine of Creation?" Although Yan Song looked like a sleepy and very old man, when Jiajing asked him a question, he did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb and immediately looked up and answered. "Your Majesty, in my personal opinion, I do not really hope that the Ming Dynasty will put the collection of the Spine of Creation first," Yan Song said in a submissive tone. "Not only can we not put it in the first place, but we must also keep it hidden and never allow anyone to find it. Until the day when the Ming Dynasty really needs it!" "...Dad!" Hearing his father actually say that such a thing is not important and even asked the emperor not to look for it, Yan Shifan spoke subconsciously. Of course, he was not doubting his father Yan Song's strategic vision, but he felt that on such a major matter, how could he easily give advice to the emperor and influence his judgment? Don’t you understand the temperament of our emperor? If something goes wrong, someone has to take responsibility, right? Who can take the responsibility for such a wrong decision? You know, as the power of the Ming Dynasty grows, the interests involved become more and more complicated. Even though his Yan family is powerful and is the number one immortal family in the Ming Dynasty. But if the interests of various forces were damaged because of them, it would be difficult to explain. Yan Song ignored Yan Shifan and continued speaking. "Right now, the most important thing for our Great Ming Dynasty is the national policy that we established on the plateau!" "First, expand outside the territory and lead the Ming Dynasty to the sea of stars as soon as possible, so that it will have enough foundation to fight against the world of immortal cultivation!" "The second is to gradually erode the world of immortal cultivation!" "Ultimately, we will achieve the expansion and unification of the entire Xiuxian world." "Only when our Great Ming Dynasty completely rules over the two worlds and the world is stable, then it will be time to plot for the Spine of Creation. Besides..." Yan Song's tone sank as he spoke. "I dare to ask Your Majesty, with the current expansion of Daming County, even if the world of immortal cultivation is ruled one day, the huge resources needed will not be enough one day!" "At that time, will our dynasty continue to expand towards the upper realm, or will it reform and adjust national policies to return to stability from now on?" Jiajing did not give a definite answer to Yan Song's question, but said: "Mr. Yan, please speak directly if you have anything to say." “If we continue to expand towards the upper realm, then this Spine of Creation can be activated. Then all the heavens and worlds will belong to the king.” "With the Emperor's words, everything in the world belongs to the Ming Dynasty. This spine of creation naturally belongs to the court as well!"
"But if you plan to make reforms and adjust national policies after unifying the world of immortal cultivation, so that the Ming Dynasty can return to normal." "Then I think it is better not to take out the Spine of Creation forever. People's minds change and their greed is boundless!" "As long as the Spine of Creation exists, the Ming Dynasty will not stop. Even if the emperor wants to stop, the trend will continue to move forward. Otherwise, if you try to stop it by force, the result will be disintegration!" "Over the years, I have also learned about the world of immortal cultivation, especially the subtle star regions that we have not yet set foot on." "There are many dynasties, and the ancient dynasties that have been passed down from ancient times may all fall apart one day in the future." "Moreover, according to those few records, the collapse of these ancient dynasties all came from within." "We don't know how the ancient dynasties collapsed, and we can't trace the cause," Yan Song said in a clear tone. "People often say that we can learn from the past and understand the present, but in my opinion, we can also learn from the past and understand the future!" "The path of unlimited expansion means that the court needs to find an outlet for the dynasty every once in a while. My Ming Dynasty has done this twice." "The first time, there was a huge grain crisis. The court urgently needed to start the third and fourth stages of land reform." "After that, the imperial court enacted the 'Spirit Stone Trade Law', which resolved the conflict. The second time, it was undoubtedly the officials' inaction that led to the uneven distribution of resources, which led to expansion outside the territory." “The next time, it may be a long time, but once the conflict arises, it will be of cosmic level.” "Because before that, the Ming Dynasty had already expanded countless civilizations, all the heavens and worlds, all the races and creatures... The third outlet for the conflict was to invade the world of immortal cultivation!" "The above is the reason why I do not agree with the Spine of Creation. It cannot be released before the Ming Dynasty unifies the world of immortal cultivation!" Yan Song had finished speaking, and the choice was given to Jiajing. For a moment, the main hall of Yuxi Palace fell into silence. "The Ming Dynasty will continue to expand." Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Jiajing slowly spoke. "But what Elder Yan said does make sense. Right now, the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty is indeed external expansion." "As for the Spine of Creation, Ming Dynasty may not be in a hurry to collect it, but it cannot just leave it alone." "From today on, the Cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, the kings, and anyone who enters the Immortal Cultivation World must be more careful." "Once there is a suitable opportunity, seize it!" As Jiajing's words fell, the imperial seal on the plateau also emitted a buzzing sound, conveying Jiajing's edict to all those who could enter the world of immortal cultivation! "...Yes!" Lu Fang, Yan Song and Yan Shifan bowed and took their leave. After that, naturally, all the people who could enter the world of cultivating immortals, such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others, were shocked by the effectiveness of the Spine of Creation. For a moment, everyone remembered it in their mind. Later in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as you find this Spine of Creation, you must get it no matter what. After all, the Spine of Creation can open the road to heaven. If one can get a piece of the Spine of Creation and hand it over to the emperor, it would be a tremendous achievement. When one's own clansmen ascend to the upper realm, they will certainly have priority over others. Well, we are all smart people. No one would be naive enough to think that when the road to heaven is opened in the future, there will be no limit on the number of people who can ascend to the upper realm and become immortals. We can see the big picture from the current development of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, all kinds of resources will be extremely scarce in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, if all creatures of all races become citizens of the Ming Dynasty in the future, can all creatures enter the fairyland? To what extent will the population of the fairyland expand? To what extent will resources be scarce? Therefore, the sooner they seize the credit and secure a place for their family's descendants to become immortals, the better. Suddenly, the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty had a new goal, which was to find the Spine of Creation. Today's Ming Dynasty has swallowed up an alien civilization and also occupied a corner in the world of immortal cultivation. Under the arrangement of Jiajing, and with the care and green light from Li Changqing, the Ming Immortal Sect's cabinet and sect council also began to march towards the Central Plains. As for Lu Fang's Tomorrow Tower, it only needs to find an opportunity to connect with Xu Shixing. In this way, the Daming Immortal Sect will officially open up the connection with the Central Plains. All that’s left to do now is to proceed step by step. Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is now the 155th year of Jiajing. During these four years, in the world of immortal cultivation, under the arrangement of Li Changqing, the business of the Daming Immortal Sect officially set foot in the Central Plains. The Tianshui Island captured by the Ming Dynasty, which was originally ruled by the Tianshui Academy, is still controlled by the Tianshui Academy, but almost all the resources on the island will be gathered and flow into the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, a portion of the resources of the Ming world will be used to supply the original "Star Spirit Domain", now the "Ming Domain". As for the Protoss, during these four years, they have been rapidly being "corrupted" due to the collective betrayal of the Protoss top leaders. Many Protoss began to worship the civilization of the Ming Dynasty, and even major universities began to popularize the Ming Dynasty's writing and language. Especially after the news of cultivating immortality broke out, with the tacit approval of the Star Spirits' top leaders and the instigation and guidance of public opinion, more and more Star Spirits began to yearn for the Ming Dynasty. In order to better absorb, integrate and assimilate the entire Protoss race, Ming even launched an interstellar immigration policy. All Protoss members who have passed the cultural courses related to the Ming Dynasty, have excellent grades, and have no criminal record can live in the Ming Dynasty. After working in the Ming Dynasty for three years, they can apply for Ming Dynasty household registration and have a "Xian Card" ID card. Nowadays, almost every Protoss will immigrate to the Ming Dynasty, obtain the "Immortal Card", and cultivate immortality as a glory. Of course, the people of the Ming Dynasty can also join the Star Spirits to work, and the court will reward them with generous resources. They just need to make the Protoss accept them, understand them, be curious about the Ming Dynasty, and even look up to them. To put it bluntly, it is a cultural invasion of another world! Some scholars who graduated from the high-level immortal palaces of the Ming Dynasty and had no hope of finding a good job simply went to the Star Spirits, founded schools, and then became very successful. It also attracted a large number of Ming Dynasty people. Naturally, the social contradictions that had just emerged were quickly eliminated within four years. This is simply because the resources of the Ming Dynasty are now beginning to flow back to the middle and lower classes of society. In short, under a series of policies, the Ming Dynasty's absorption of the Protoss was very rapid and conscientious. A large amount of resources from the "Ming Domain" were also pulled into the Ming Dynasty, and the gaps in the Ming Dynasty's science and technology were being filled rapidly. Just as the entire Ming Dynasty was trying hard to absorb the rich fruits brought by this two-front war. Finally, the existence of the Ming world was discovered by an immortal from the world of immortal cultivation who traveled to the small town of Fengling in the western continent. "..."
