Time passes slowly.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three months, except for the big noise caused by Zhu Biao in the first few days, there was absolutely no news after that.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to explore everywhere, but they could not find any trace of Zhu Biao.
This suddenly gave Zhu Yuanzhang a hint of gloom in his heart.
As time went on, Lao Zhu's temper became more and more violent.
Even because of this incident, several censors who dared to make false claims have been executed.
But such killings did not reduce the turmoil of the Ming Empire. Even Lao Zhu could not completely suppress the instability caused by the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After all, Prince Zhu Biao has really gained too much popularity over the years.
And the large number of forces gathered around Zhu Biao was indeed huge.
In the Ciren Palace, Empress Ma, who was much older than before, was sitting there weeping secretly. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished handling the court affairs before, walked in and happened to see this scene.
A sigh flashed across his face, which was also slightly older, and he slowly walked behind Queen Ma and gently embraced her in his arms.
"Sister, Biao'er must be fine!"
"He has successfully overcome the tribulation before. The reason why he can't find anyone now must be tied up by something. You know that the fairyland and the mortal realm are different after all..."
"Even we have only a partial understanding of the hidden secrets here."
"What's more, he is still the son of the plane..." Zhu Yuanzhang comforted softly.
Queen Ma sighed.
Over the years, due to the recovery of spiritual energy, her longevity has been greatly improved, and she has gradually come to know some things before.
She knew that if the Ming Dynasty did not recover its spiritual energy, the final outcome would be that she and Biao'er would die before Zhu Yuanzhang, and the throne of the Ming Dynasty would be taken away by the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Dijingnan.
To be honest, it didn't matter to her.
After all, things behind her life are not that big of an obsession for her.
The key is Zhu Yuanzhang. Over the years, she has been celebrating the recovery of her spiritual energy, which has brought a different destiny to Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is that she will not let Zhu Yuanzhang repeat his tragic fate and die alone.
Although she is the queen of the Ming Empire, she is actually just an ordinary woman. To her, her husband and children are everything to her.
Originally, she thought that life like this would last forever, which was why she was always willing to extend her life.
Who wouldn’t want to live such a day!
But now that her child Zhu Biao has not been heard from for several months, and there is no trace of life or death, she naturally cannot be in a better mood.
And this kind of thing has happened more than once. Zhu Biao disappeared for several years before.
"Chongba, when will this day end!"
"You said that Biao'er was at the peak of divine transformation before, so why bother insisting on becoming an immortal?"
"And we should just stop developing the other world!"
"Don't you feel that this other world is getting more and more painful and dangerous?"
"Especially in this Liaozhai world, even immortals have come out. This has a great impact on Biao'er and your safety."
"It's actually quite good for the Ming Dynasty to be like this. This way you and Biao'er can stop and take a rest, and you won't have to take risks all the time." Queen Ma said.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent immediately after hearing this.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sister, it doesn't mean that we can stop if we want. There is an invisible big hand controlling everything in this world. We can only survive if we keep moving forward. As long as we stop, then The only path waiting for us is disintegration.”
"And we don't want to stop."
"After all, after seeing the scenery from high places, we still want to climb higher."
"Besides, we have been alive long enough since the spiritual energy was revived. Even if we die now, we still made money." Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said: "I believe Biao'er will not regret his decision, even if he Something really happened."
Zhu Biao indeed had no regrets.
Because his consciousness was beside Zhu Yuanzhang at the moment, he agreed with his father's words.
But it is a pity that he cannot give feedback to Zhu Yuanzhang now.
He has now completely advanced to become the way of heaven in this world. Now he has no body and only a hazy consciousness.
However, he could feel that his consciousness was undergoing transformation, but this transformation required a process, during which he was unable to communicate with any living beings.
And this will definitely cause great chaos to the Ming Empire.
Zhu Biao is now thinking about how to minimize this change.
But it was obvious that there was nothing he could do in a short period of time.
time flies.
For Zhu Biao, it was just a blink of an eye, but for the entire Ming Empire, it was not the case, because sixty years had passed in the blink of an eye for the entire Ming Empire.
Sixty years of vicissitudes can change a lot of things.
His Highness, the former Crown Prince of the Ming Empire... is still the Crown Prince now.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang announced Zhu Biao's retreat sixty years ago, and it has not changed in the past sixty years.
In the past sixty years, the biggest difference for Ming Dynasty was the full opening of the Liaozhai plane.
The battle between Buddhism and Taoism and Shushan, the ghost world, and the demon world was still going on. However, with the Ming Dynasty's full intervention in this war, the balance of the battle began to gradually shift towards Shushan, the demon world, and the ghost world.
The power of Buddhism has completely shrunk into its own territory, and it does not dare to enter or leave easily.
The human world has completely changed its dynasties. The Song Dynasty is now a thing of the past, and the new Ming Empire has stood on the land of the human world.
This was originally a negotiated deal. Ming Dynasty entered the master realm, which was a prerequisite for helping Shushan and other forces deal with Buddhism.
This day was an extremely important day for the Ming Dynasty, because Buddhism and Taoism formally proposed a truce.
After discussion, Shushan, the Demon Realm, the Ghost Realm and the Ming Empire decided to agree to this matter.
After all, the Centipede Insect is dead but not stiff. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism are so powerful that it is completely impossible to completely drive them away.
This is only possible if this world is destroyed.
And this is not in line with the interests of the Ming Empire.
For Ming Dynasty, a peaceful and stable Liaozhai world that can exert a certain influence is a good Liaozhai world.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, the Ming Dynasty has not seen an immortal in all these years.
This also caused Ming Dynasty to have to worry about the consequences if the immortals of Buddhism and Taoism were to die.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is in charge of Nanjing City, even an immortal cannot find favor in his hands, but it is an indisputable fact that Ming Dynasty is a weak side in terms of the highest level of combat power.
At this moment, the emperor of the Ming Empire in the Liaozhai world is Zhu Di.
After hundreds of years of conquest and fighting, this historical Ming Dynasty ancestor finally passed the imperial shadow and became the legitimate Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The negotiator sent by Ming Dynasty this time was also Zhu Di.
In Luoyang, the capital of the gods, Zhu Di was sitting among a group of immortals. To be honest, he was still a little uneasy.
He knew very well that these people were capable of beating him to death directly. The reason why he could sit here peacefully with these immortals was because of the Ming Empire behind them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his elder brother Zhu Biao.
A hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
In fact, the most suitable candidate for his current position should be Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao after becoming an immortal, because only in this way can the Ming Dynasty remain strong enough. But unfortunately, the eldest brother has been missing for sixty years now.
He even suspected that his eldest brother was dead very early on.
But only his father always insisted that the eldest brother would come back.
He often thinks that if his eldest brother is sitting in his position, then they might be able to get more benefits from Liaozhai World.
It is even possible to directly integrate the surrounding demon world and Buddhist world.
But now they can hold on to the human world and extend their influence to the other five realms, which is already good.
The negotiations ended quickly.
In fact, the outcome of this negotiation has been determined from the beginning.
The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism completely closed off all their own small worlds and completely handed over most of the resources and spiritual mines they originally controlled.
In fact, to be honest, more than half of these resources and spiritual mines have already been attacked by the coalition forces of Shushan, Ghost Realm and Demon Realm. This is why Buddhism and Taoism finally chose to surrender.
It’s not that they want to surrender, it’s that they have truly given up.
As for these spiritual mines and resources, Daming did not have any involvement in the world of immortality. This was also discussed before. Apart from establishing a dynasty in the human world, Daming had no involvement in anything related to the world of immortality.
In addition to warriors, this dynasty will not recruit any immortal cultivators from this world for its own use.
And occupying a dynasty, in Lao Zhu's words, is just to facilitate transactions with people in this world.
Shushan, the ghost world and the demon world are still very satisfied with this. The reason why they launched this big melee is because of the cultivation resources and the coming end of the Dharma era.
In this war, the Ming Dynasty provided a large amount of weapon support, but did not take away many of their resources. This was naturally something they were happy to see.
Even if Ming Dynasty needs some resources, it will offer to use its unique specialties to purchase them.
As for the arrival of the Dharma Ending Era, there is also a solution for this.
Ming Dynasty's restrictions on immortals will be completely eliminated after this negotiation.
In other words, after this battle, the Ming Dynasty will completely open the space channel, and they, the immortals in the Liaozhai World, can also go to the Ming Dynasty.
You only need to leave proof of identity in the Ming Empire and you can go anywhere.
Even if you are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, you will receive many rewards.
The immortals from the Liaozhai world naturally disdain this so-called reward, but they are still very interested in the world where Ming Dynasty lives.
Not only because of the novel weapons and culture of the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, the Ming Dynasty is a new world with spiritual energy recovery. This is the best place for them to escape the end of the Dharma era in the Liaozhai world.
This is much safer than building a small immortal space to survive the Age of Ending Dharma.
Of course, all this has a prerequisite, which is to comply with the laws of Ming Dynasty.
Although this made these immortals who had always been aloof a little uncomfortable, they finally succumbed in the face of Ming's super-level artillery fire that could destroy immortals.
The successful completion of this negotiation also means that the chaos that has shrouded the world of immortality cultivation in Liaozhai World for a long time has completely ended. In the future, Liaozhai World will enter a very long period of stability.
After all, even if Buddhism and Taoism are reluctant, if they want to turn over now, they may not be able to do it without tens of thousands of years to accumulate strength.
Because of Buddhism and Taoism combined, sixty-three immortals were completely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty in the Zhenxian Tower.
Time was taken out quickly, and another three years passed in the blink of an eye.
On Funiu Mountain outside the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang came with a group of people. At this moment, everyone was looking at a tall figure standing on the top of the mountain in the distance.
That was Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. After sixty years of hard training, Lu Bu finally reached the front of everyone in the Ming Dynasty and reached the edge of overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal.
"Your Majesty, I'm going first. This time I will definitely succeed in overcoming the tribulation and enhance the prestige of our Ming Dynasty." Lu Bu waved his Chinese halberd with high spirits, stepped forward, and soared directly into the sky.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to say a few words of encouragement, had to swallow it when the words came to his lips.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Lao Zhu can no longer say clearly whether Lu Bu's tribulation is good or bad.
This guy has become more and more arrogant in recent years as no one in the army can control him. Now even Zhu Yuanzhang is not looking down upon him.
If such a guy succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, his tail will not reach the sky.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Over the years, the shortcomings of the royal family not having an immortal in charge have gradually become apparent. These arrogant generals headed by Lu Bu, as well as the best among the immortal cultivators, have become increasingly disobedient to orders and have begun to act on their own.
Especially in the past ten years, Zhu Yuanzhang has heard many different voices, and even voices that the Ming Dynasty should not have an emperor, and that an immortal world should be established like the Liaozhai World, with immortals commanding the mortal world, began to appear.
There are still no immortals now. If the Ming Dynasty has its own immortals in the future, there will probably be more and more voices like this.
"snort!"
"If we have to, then I'm afraid this Lu Fengxian can only be eliminated secretly!"
"Although this will result in the loss of a strong general, it is better than being stared at by a fierce tiger all the time." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Bu who was guiding the thunder in the distance and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't want to be stabbed in the back by this guy unexpectedly like Ding Feng and Dong Zhuo in the original history.
And at this moment, the thunder in the sky finally fell.
"Boom!" The thunder struck down, directly submerging Lu Bu in it.
However, what no one noticed was that in the sky thunder, a figure completely formed by thunder was slowly condensing, and at the same time, a ray of consciousness quietly fell on it.
