Chapter 395: Cultivating Both Confucianism and Daoism, The Yongle Canon
"I implore the God Lord to take action and execute the thief Ye!"
Di Shitian's voice was sharp and stern; his hatred for Ye Fan was no pretense.
Having lived for thousands of years, he had never been so humiliated.
Since he could not defeat him himself, he would request the God Lord to take action.
Although he felt that even if the God Lord took action, the outcome remained grim.
The masked God Lord had no desire to pay attention to Di Shitian at this moment, his focus entirely captured by Ye Fan.
In such a fused martial arts world, it was impossible for a Heavenly Emperor Ye to appear.
Therefore, he felt this "Heavenly Emperor Ye" was more likely a system owner, and the two might even come from the same planet.
After all, after the world fused, his system told him that there were a total of three system owners in existence.
The three were like Gu; in the end, only one could exist, and that would be the Gu King!
And the Gu King would possess the authority to control this world, becoming the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson.
"This matter is not urgent."
The masked God Lord was naturally not a mediocre person of impatient character and lacking in depth to have reached his current position.
The system was merely an aid; to grow great and strong, one still had to rely on oneself.
The God Lord took out a Pill and gave it to Di Shitian, saying: "This is the Heaven-Mending Pill; it can restore your injuries and replenish your Phoenix Blood Origin."
Upon hearing the name of the Heaven-Mending Pill, Di Shitian's eyes lit up.
This was the number one divine pill under heaven, possessing the power to turn decay into magic, and even more so, to consolidate one's foundation and significantly increase cultivation.
Di Shitian was originally a warlock and a master of alchemy, so he knew the efficacy of the Heaven-Mending Pill well.
Controlling this pill could make countless martial arts experts flock to him.
"This seat does not keep trash among his subordinates. After you recover, kill the Dragon of Sea God Island and retrieve the Dragon Origin," the masked God Lord instructed.
"Yes," Di Shitian replied.
Afterward, Di Shitian left, and the vast palace was left with the masked God Lord alone, who muttered to himself:
"I had intended to capture Zhang Sanfeng and seize his Qi Luck as the world's number one Master to raise my realm, but it seems the plan is currently unfeasible."
"If this Heavenly Emperor Ye is truly a system owner, I cannot act rashly and can only secretly spy for information."
The reason why Qi Luck was needed was also due to the limitations of the world itself.
Above the Grandmaster is the Heavenly Human. Above the Heavenly Human is the Land Immortal.
Above the Land Immortal is the Land Celestial!
The realm above the Land Celestial is the God and Demon Realm!
This level of realm is the Martial Peak; in the entire world, among countless dynasties, those who can reach this realm do not exceed twenty people.
Most have already gone into seclusion or even passed away, unknown to the world.
There are realms above the God and Demon Realm, but they cannot be broken through in this world.
However, one can take another path: Devour those with Great Luck, use that Qi Luck to raise one's own limits, and continuously strengthen combat power.
The masked God Lord recruited so many experts, although it was to cultivate a force!
But if it were to eventually break through to the God and Demon Realm, he would also choose to devour the Qi Luck of these subordinates.
At the same time, Great Ming Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Zhu Wushi was covered in cold sweat, bowing his head to the ground, his heart beating violently, saying not a word.
In reality, he felt a Mount Tai Press, an invisible pressure seemingly crushing him.
But soon, this pressure vanished.
Zhu Wushi breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing he had passed this hurdle.
And before him, sitting on a sandalwood chair in the Imperial Study, was a middle-aged man wearing a dark gold Dragon robe.
The middle-aged man's gaze was calm, yet within it lay the intent to master the universe; his chest was like a vast sea, giving one a sense of extremely restrained Haki.
This person was none other than the sovereign of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor.
"Wushi, you know that I have always valued you, but this time I am very disappointed," the Yongle Emperor said.
Zhu Wushi hurriedly prostrated, his expression sincere, saying:
"Your Majesty, this matter was indeed my incompetence; I deserve to die."
Zhu Wushi knew the Yongle Emperor's temperament well; if he said at this time that Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts were too high and he could not take him, then even if he did not die, he would be excluded from the royal family and become a down-and-out prince with no achievements.
The Yongle Emperor looked at the trembling Zhu Wushi with deep meaning, waved his hand, and said: "Enough, you are after all of my Zhu bloodline; how could I kill you? Do I look that bloodthirsty to you?"
Zhu Wushi hurriedly expressed his gratitude and kowtowed a few more times, though he thought to himself:
"The Emperor is indeed not bloodthirsty, he just rolls heads with a single rage."
Back during the Jingnan Campaign, who knew how many wandering souls floated above the Forbidden City.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" the Yongle Emperor asked.
In fact, Zhu Wushi's failure was within his calculations; if the number one person in the Great Ming Dynasty were so easily defeated, he would truly be a name without substance.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhang Sanfeng is worthy of being a master of a generation; his strength is already that of a genuine Land Immortal.
Even with my Sucking Power Great Method, I could do nothing and had to admit defeat.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred; an unknown expert descended..."
Zhu Wushi recounted the matter of Di Shitian and the situation regarding Ye Fan, Xiao Shi, and the others.
The Yongle Emperor's expression gradually changed, and after a long while, he said: "It seems this land of Shenzhou truly produces many talents. There is actually someone who can easily suppress Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang."
"Even if this person is strong, they are not worth mentioning before the iron hooves of Great Ming," Zhu Wushi hurriedly said.
"Hahaha, indeed. The moment I cultivate the Yongle Canon, I will be blessed by the Qi Luck of the Nine Provinces; peerless under heaven, who else but me?" the Yongle Emperor said.
Not long after, Zhu Wushi finally left the Imperial Study as if he had just survived a disaster.
Although the Yongle Great Emperor had never revealed his cultivation, it was absolutely above that of a Land Immortal.
That sense of oppression that could capture souls and seize spirits was truly enough to make one's scalp tingle.
After Zhu Wushi left, the Yongle Great Emperor picked up an ancient, simple book, on which several characters were strikingly eye-catching.
"Shenzhou Five Thousand Years!"
The Yongle Great Emperor was not a Transmigrator, nor was he a reborn soul, but a genuine emperor.
It was just that this emperor had profound opportunities, having obtained some information about the future and cheats in advance.
Cultivating the Confucian Path and the Emperor Heart Technique, the two complemented each other, and within the Forbidden City, he borrowed Dragon Qi to cultivate, his cultivation having long since become extraordinary and saintly.
And the Yongle Canon was the Yongle Great Emperor's final treasure for Transcendence; once this book was mastered, it would be earth-shattering and shock the past and present!
He would also use this peerless classic to reach a realm unprecedented in history.
……
Wudang, back mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng was staying together with the group members, and of course, there was also Wang Wu's new disciple, Li Hanyi.
"Everyone, for this incident, I have truly failed to provide proper hospitality, failed to provide proper hospitality," Zhang Sanfeng said apologetically.
"True Person Sanfeng, it's fine, it's fine. What does this count as? Who doesn't have a few things come up?" Ye Fan said.
"However, Old Zhang, after this incident, you must be careful. I feel that the waters in your world are a bit deep," Li Chungang said.
He had originally thought this world was low-martial, but after experiencing it personally this time, Li Chungang felt his perspective had been too narrow.
With an immortal monster like the Bad Commander, how could it possibly be low-martial?
Not to mention a monster like Di Shitian who had lived for a thousand years!
"Old man Sanfeng, take care. Don't accidentally kick the bucket; we won't be staying here forever," Morgana said.
"That's right, after all, we are not people of this world," Wang Wu said.
"Master Wang, what are you saying?" Li Hanyi looked at Wang Wu in surprise.
"……"
Hearing the words "Master Wang," Wang Wu felt it was somehow strange and couldn't help but say:
"Hanyi, can you not call me Master Wang? Call me dear Master!"
