The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 821 Why Seal My Spiritual Energy

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes: "What a Zhang Sanfeng! He actually had such a trick up his sleeve! I want to see just how powerful these demonic beasts really are!"

He turned to Zhu Biao and said in a deep voice, "Biao'er, you stay in the palace. I will personally go and deal with these monsters!"

Zhu Biao quickly said, "Father, I want to go with you too!"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook her head: "No, you've just escaped danger and your body hasn't recovered yet. It's not advisable for you to take any more risks."

“But…” Zhu Biao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Xiong Ying.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

After saying that, Zhu Xiong Ying strode out of the main hall.

He reached the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw a dark mass rushing towards the capital. The deafening roars of the beasts could be heard clearly even from afar.

Zhu Xiong Ying took a deep breath and circulated the spiritual energy within her body to its maximum.

"Come on, I want to see just how capable you beasts really are!"

After saying that, Zhu Xiong Ying leaped off the city wall and rushed towards the direction of the monster horde.

He moved like lightning, rushing into the horde of monsters in the blink of an eye.

His fists and feet flew, each punch and kick containing earth-shattering power.

Those monsters were as fragile as paper in front of him, utterly vulnerable.

For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere and screams were heard.

Zhu Xiong Ying was like a god of death descended to earth, slaughtering wantonly among the monsters.

However, there were simply too many of these monsters; they could not be killed or eradicated.

Moreover, as time went by, the spiritual energy within Zhu Xiong Ying's body gradually began to be depleted.

He gradually felt somewhat powerless.

Just then, a gigantic monster suddenly descended from the sky and pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying.

This monstrous beast was as large as a mountain, covered in thick scales, and its scarlet eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

Zhu Xiong Ying dared not be careless and quickly dodged.

However, the beast was too fast, and Zhu Xiong Ying had no time to dodge.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, Zhu Xiong Ying was violently knocked away by the monster.

He fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!"

Zhu Biao, who was on the city wall, saw this scene and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

He wanted to rush down to save Zhu Xiong Ying, but was stopped by the guards around him.

"Your Highness, you can't go! It's too dangerous!"

Zhu Biao struggled, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

At this moment, the enormous monster pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying once again.

Zhu Xiong Ying struggled to stand up, but found herself powerless.

A flicker of despair crossed his eyes.

Am I really going to die here?
Just at this critical moment, a beam of white light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the enormous monster.

The monster let out a shrill scream, its body began to shrink rapidly, and finally turned into a cloud of dust and disappeared.

Zhu Xiong Ying was stunned.

How is this going?

He looked up and saw an old man dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, slowly descending from the sky. The old man had white hair but a youthful face, and a smile that gave people a sense of inexplicable warmth.

"You are..." Zhu Xiong Ying asked in confusion.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I am the head of the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

"Yuanshi Tianzun?" Zhu Xiong Ying's lips twitched, almost bursting out laughing. This old man, he's quite the show-off.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "It is indeed this humble Taoist."

Zhu Xiong Ying suppressed a laugh and said, "I am the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiong Ying."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "This humble Taoist knows."

"Then do you know my strength?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked, his tone tinged with provocation.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled faintly: "I know a little bit about it."

"Know a little bit?" Zhu Xiong Ying sneered. "Then I'll show you my true power!"

After saying that, Zhu Xiong Ying once again circulated the spiritual energy within his body, preparing to attack again.

However, the spiritual energy within him seemed to have dried up completely; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't mobilize even a single drop.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xiong Ying was startled.

Yuanshi Tianzun still smiled and slowly said, "Your Majesty need not waste your energy. I have already sealed your spiritual energy."

Zhu Xiong Ying's expression changed: "You..."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, interrupting him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. This humble Taoist has no ill intentions."

"Then why did you seal my spiritual energy?" Zhu Xiong Ying questioned.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed and said, "Your Majesty, with the revival of spiritual energy and rampant demonic beasts, the mortal realm is about to descend into chaos. I have come here to help Your Majesty quell the chaos and save the people."

"Help me?" Zhu Xiong Ying sneered. "Do I need your help?"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head: "Your Majesty, although you are powerful, you are ultimately just a mortal. Those demonic beasts, on the other hand, have already awakened their intelligence and possess great power. For Your Majesty to fight them alone is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Zhu Xiong Ying fell silent. He knew that Yuanshi Tianzun was right; although his strength was formidable, it was ultimately limited. If he were to truly confront those demonic beasts, his chances of survival would be slim.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I can teach you the methods of cultivating immortality, helping you break through the mortal body and achieve the body of an immortal. At that time, Your Majesty will have endless power, easily slaying those demonic beasts and pacifying the chaotic world."

Zhu Xiong Ying's heart skipped a beat. Cultivating immortality? This was something he had always dreamed of!
"Alright, I agree!" Zhu Xiong Ying agreed without hesitation.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun turned and walked out of the city.

Zhu Xiong Ying quickly followed.

The two arrived at a mountain peak outside the city.

Yuanshi Tianzun pointed to the mountain peak and said, "Your Majesty, this is Kunlun Mountain, a sacred place for cultivating immortality. From this day forward, Your Majesty shall cultivate here. When you have achieved your goal, it will be time for Your Majesty to pacify the chaotic world."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded, her heart filled with anticipation.

He couldn't wait to start cultivating, to achieve immortality as soon as possible, and to lead the Ming Dynasty to glory!
In the days that followed, Zhu Xiong Ying began his journey of cultivating immortality on Mount Kunlun.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable taught him various cultivation techniques and personally guided his practice.

Zhu Xiong Ying was exceptionally intelligent and worked diligently, so he quickly mastered various cultivation techniques and his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

On this day, Zhu Xiong Ying was cultivating when he suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from his body.

He quickly opened his eyes and saw that he was radiating golden light, as if a god had descended to earth.

"Your Majesty, congratulations! You have transcended the mortal body and achieved the body of an immortal!" The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable rang in my ears.
