In the void, streams of imperial energy are pouring in continuously, entering Li Yun's Dantian sea of energy!
Calculating the time, according to what Miaojue said before, it is now the time for the White Lotus Sect to do morning classes.
Li Yun could even vaguely see and hear the shadows of some White Lotus believers kneeling in pious worship through these imperial auras.
These fanatical believers are indeed the easiest to be incited and manipulated.
It seems that the advice I gave to the leader of the White Lotus last night was adopted by him and implemented immediately.
In just this moment, the amount of imperial energy that Li Yun could feel had exceeded the amount of imperial energy that he had gained after killing Tong Deliang in the street a few days ago.
Although this kind of imperial energy is not pure enough, after all, the first thing these White Lotus believers believe in is the Wusheng Old Mother, and the second is the White Lotus leader. No matter how good he is as an emperor, he must be ranked third at the highest, but even if he is a mixed emperor Qi is better in quantity!
I don't know how the White Lotus Sect operates internally. The efficiency is obviously much higher than the bureaucracy of the Wu Kingdom.
Judging from the amount of imperial energy obtained so far, it seems that the White Lotus cultists in or near the capital have just received the news, or the teachings of the White Lotus cult leaders, conveying the latest instructions of the White Lotus cult leader - to be loyal to the emperor. .
As the relevant instructions are conveyed layer by layer to the White Lotus Sect branches and helms everywhere, I believe that more and more imperial energy will continue to flow in.
Li Yun absorbed this imperial energy and quickly transformed it into spiritual energy in his body to practice Haotian techniques.
Feeling the growing spiritual power, he couldn't help but moan in comfort.
Thoughts were spinning in my mind.
I remember there was a Warhammer game in my previous life. What was that sentence in it? Warriors, be loyal to your emperor!
After all, this world is still an ancient world with low productivity. The transmission of messages between ordinary people relies entirely on horses. It would be much more convenient if there were things like telephone networks.
After taking complete control of the court and the entire Wu Kingdom, you can consider engaging in technological things.
Improve information transmission efficiency, improve management and control, and technology promotes immortality.
At this moment, Li Yun was shocked to find that in addition to the imperial energy from the White Lotus cultists, there were also some similarly mixed and thin imperial energy in the void, which seemed to be weaker and more illusory, but the number was not small. At least it was produced by hundreds of people.
Breathing this imperial energy into the Dantian Qi Sea, he immediately felt the origin of these human desires.
These turned out to be some diners and spectators from a brothel restaurant in the capital!
A few days ago, he paid a private visit incognito and beheaded Tong Deliang in the street, which greatly pleased people's hearts. This incident was also compiled into a story novel and a drama by some literati, and was performed in the Goulan Restaurant in the capital.
Some diners watched the show and listened to the music, and many people were inspired by the plot. In addition, what happened before has been widely circulated in the capital, and even the eunuch party wanted to defeat the Dongzhu party of the family in terms of reputation. Jin Yiwei's secret agent added fuel to the fire.
Many spectators and listeners were inspired by this, and actually had the idea of loyalty to the emperor!
Although he is not very religious, when thoughts arise, he has royal energy! Quality is another matter.
Feeling the magic in this, Li Yun couldn't help but smile.
I had gone into some misunderstandings before.
Now it seems that as long as someone is loyal to the emperor in his heart and has the idea of loyalty to the emperor, he can generate imperial energy, be absorbed and refined by himself, and used for cultivation.
To put it bluntly, it is to give the people hope and let them have beautiful illusions about the monarch and the emperor.
From this hope comes loyalty!
I have been personally subduing the people and gathering imperial energy before, but I have gone astray.
It's really too slow in terms of efficiency.
In fact, it is entirely possible to subtly cultivate the idea of loyalty to the emperor through the dissemination of literary works, novels, dramas, operas, etc.!
To be more cruel and realistic, how dark this society is is actually not that important.
As long as the people have the idea that "the emperor is good, the emperor is sage, but he is deceived by the people below", that's fine.
The economy is not good and corruption is rampant, but the emperor is certainly right and the policies are good, but the people below implement them crookedly.
The emperor is still the Son of Heaven. As long as the emperor sees clearly the faces of those treacherous ministers and traitors, everything will be solved naturally.
Many times, a barrier of courtiers is even needed to buffer the emperor's sage...
Thinking of this, Li Yun felt a little excited.
After traveling to this world, he has always been a little too worldly. Many things have been done according to the rules of this world, but he has fallen into a rut.
Now that I think about it, his biggest advantage is not this immortal cultivation technique, but the way of thinking of modern people that is far ahead of this era!
At this time, the imperial energy from the White Lotus cultists was still coming in, and the amount was increasing. Although it was not as pure as the thousands of imperial energy obtained when Tong Deliang was beheaded on the street, these tens of thousands of thin imperial energy were enough. It’s on par with the last harvest and still increasing.
Li Yun simply stayed at home and kept absorbing and digesting the imperial energy.
By noon, hundreds of thousands of imperial energy had already surged in!
He only felt that the sea of qi was boiling, and it was overflowing in the blink of an eye. His whole body seemed to have broken some kind of shackles and reached a higher level.
Second level of Qi training, breakthrough!
A brilliant light flashed in Li Yun's eyes, and he felt that his spiritual consciousness expanded several times in an instant, covering the entire Yangxin Palace and the garden palace wall outside.
If this imperial energy is pure enough, it can even allow him to advance to several levels again!
However, there is no rush for this moment. The White Lotus Sect's millions of followers have now gained one-third of their imperial energy, and they should help him advance again later.
Moreover, Li Yun no longer only focuses on these White Lotus cultists.
There are more than hundreds of millions of people in this world. They are much more extensive than the White Lotus Sect, and they can provide more people with more royal power.
At this moment, his spiritual consciousness "saw" that Xiao Guangzi, who was waiting outside, hesitated for a long time. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and came to knock on the door.
"Come in." Li Yun said calmly.
Xiao Guangzi immediately pushed the door in, carefully closed the door, and said to Li Yun:
"Your Majesty, Elder Miaojue is not in the wing this morning. He seems to have left alone. He has not returned yet. My subordinates are really worried. Do you think...should we report it to the main altar? In case Elder Miaojue... …”
As an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Guangzi has always been cautious and cautious.
At this time, the Shidu elder who had just entered the palace suddenly disappeared. This was a huge thing, and he was already extremely panicked.
Where did Miaojue go?
Out of the palace? Or... he defected to the eunuchs! ?
Thinking of the last possibility, Xiao Guangzi felt a chill running down his spine.
Li Yun said disapprovingly:
"As an elder of the Tenth Capital and an eighth-grade master, Elder Miaojue naturally has his own plans, and I have no right to interfere. However, Elder Miaojue is loyal to the leader and wholeheartedly protects Wusheng Old Mother. I trust Elder Miaojue unconditionally. , you must not make random remarks and ruin the reputation of Elder Miaojue!"
He spoke with great righteousness and looked like he had unlimited trust in Miaojue, which immediately made Xiao Guangzi feel a little ashamed of himself, feeling that he was really not a human being and actually had doubts about Elder Miaojue.
Li Yun put on a soft face again and said:
"Okay, go tell the manager to find all the well-known poets, dramatists, and novelists in the capital. I want to compose lyrics and music."
