I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 88 Time flies
Three years passed in a flash. Twenty-four-year-old Li Ming gradually recovered other true disciples (physically), and later comprehended the classics of various branches of Yuhua Mountain, and finally reached the realm of driving objects with spirit and soul.

At this point, you can go anywhere in the world!
The power struggle of the old dynasty finally came to an end. The old empress dowager outsmarted Prince Gong and killed him. She then abolished the New Deal, and the civil and military officials returned to their loyalty. The world returned to its old state, but the little emperor ultimately became a puppet emperor.

In the same year, the Empress Dowager Daqing celebrated her 60th birthday and held a ceremony to pray for the Empress Dowager. Many overseas wizards and sorcerers also came to participate.

Li Ming also received an invitation. At the Dharma Assembly, he competed with cultivators from various countries. The magic techniques of various regions really opened Li Ming's eyes. However, he was ultimately more skilled. No one could defeat him in the three-day discussion at the Dharma Assembly. He was hailed as the number one in the current cultivation world. The reputation of Yuhua Mountain was greatly enhanced. After Li Ming returned to the mountain, he officially took charge of Yuhua Mountain. Yuhua Mountain was also hailed as the number one sect of the righteous way.

After another three years, the twenty-seven-year-old Li Ming had cultivated his internal energy to the extreme, condensing his Qi like mercury, reaching the peak of the acquired realm. There was no room for improvement, and the innate realm was out of reach.

It was also in this year that the weakness of Daqing was discovered by the great powers. Daqing was unable to raise its head after being beaten on the front line and had to make many compensations that were considered unforgivable by later generations.

However, Daqing only transferred the losses to the people. If life was just hard a few years ago, today it can be said that people are in dire straits.

The next ten years were the craziest ten years in Daqing. The endless exploitation of the people and the extremely chaotic situation made this once ancient and powerful country seem to have become synonymous with backwardness.

The death of the Queen Mother, who was once the de facto ruler of the country and held great power, was a signal of the country's collapse. The grand ceremony held at that time did not pray for blessings from heaven for her. She just died like an ordinary person.

After this, the young emperor was finally able to take over the government, but what he took over was just a porcelain doll full of holes that would break at the slightest touch. He himself seemed to have completely given up his youthful ambitions under such conditions, and instead indulged in pleasure, embarking on a path completely opposite to what he had expected.

Finally, the people could no longer bear it. In the south, the rebel army blew the horn, and in the north, the Lotus Mother gathered her followers to cause trouble.

This is an era of chaos and division, where ignorance and advancement coexist. Some people are thinking hard about how to save the country, while others are enjoying their final happiness. Only the lives of millions of ordinary people remain as difficult as before.

This year, Li Ming descended Yuhua Mountain and returned to Henglong Mountain in Hejia Town.

From then on, the rebel army became stronger day by day. With advanced theoretical guidance, it overthrew the corrupt old dynasty in just five years.

But there seems to be an invisible hand in this, which plays a decisive role at every critical moment.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, in a quiet little courtyard, He Shaohua, who looked much older, was sitting in the yard.

Li Ming, dressed in a Taoist robe, walked out leisurely and said with a smile, "Why do you have time to come and see me, a leisurely person, today?"

"Idle person?" He Shaohua laughed at himself.

"To this day I still feel like I'm in a dream. Did I do it?"

He Shaohua's eyes were deep as he looked at Li Ming, whose face had barely changed, and smiled, "Especially when I'm with you, why is time so kind to you? You still look like you're twenty years old. It's really enviable."

"Oh, as a cultivator, it's true that I have some secret to stay young. Besides, my hair has turned a lot whiter, hasn't it?" Li Ming shrugged with a smile, pointed to the white hair on his temples, then made a pot of tea and put it on the table.

"Are you done?" Li Ming asked.

"There are so many things going on today. If I had known it would be so hard, I shouldn't have listened to you back then," said He Shaohua.

"Hahaha, your position is something many people would beg for. Don't be so ungrateful." Li Ming curled his lips and said, "Besides, this is just the beginning. We are surrounded by external enemies, so we must not take it lightly." After hearing Li Ming's words, He Shaohua also nodded and said, "Yes, this kind of career has a long way to go. I can get to where I am today thanks to you."

Li Ming smiled lightly and did not take any credit for it. He just said: "I am just following the will of heaven because of the dragon's energy."

"But what?" He Shaohua asked.

"The world is now at the end of the Dharma era. Although the Mandate of Heaven still exists, I don't know how much of a role it will play." Li Ming said, "It's already difficult for me to maintain my cultivation now. As the spiritual energy thins, my Taoist magic may still be effective for the next ten years. After that, I'm afraid that the Mandate of Heaven will be no match for human power. From now on, the situation will be one of man conquering nature. You have risen up in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven. If the Mandate of Heaven is no longer there..."

Li Ming didn't continue, but He Shaohua understood what he meant and immediately said with a sigh, "Sir, your abilities are not limited by your Taoist skills. You have a broad vision and a high level of vision. Over the years, not only have you protected me, but you have also given me advice. This is how I have been able to reach my current position. Moreover, even if I rose to power by destiny, my situation is already established. If I fail again, what good will it do even if I am given another destiny?"

Li Ming smiled and did not comment. After all, he had helped He Shaohua block at least twenty assassination attempts over the years, both openly and secretly. Of course, the help he provided to him was more than that.

For example, his right-hand men, Chen Xingyu and Ma Shida, one civil and one military, are known as the civil and military pillars, and are all talents found for him by Li Ming.

Then Li Ming seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Shaohua, you must remember that everything is empty nowadays, only the gun in your hand is real. You can talk to them, but you must hold the military power firmly in your own hands. Don't be too idealistic!"

He Shaohua nodded heavily and said, "Of course I know that, but the international situation isn't very good right now. I'm afraid Zhang Laoer will support that person to challenge me."

"It's just a farce." Li Ming laughed disdainfully.

"But he has the Japanese behind him."

"Japanese?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, his expression growing colder. "I knew those people were still ruthless. It seems the lesson I taught them back then wasn't enough. They've forgotten it so quickly."

He Shaohua knew that he was talking about the incident three years ago when a ninja assassinated him and Li Ming, in a rage, traveled across the ocean to cause trouble in the Emperor's Palace. Although Li Ming also suffered a great backlash because of this incident, the white hair on his temples was left at that time.

He Shaohua still remembers asking Li Ming why he went to such lengths. Li Ming replied, "These people fear power but not virtue, they have small courtesy but no great righteousness. To deal with them, we must kill them and scare them to death!"

"I see they have done many evil things. They deserve this retribution for meeting me today!" Li Ming said, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

He Shaohua hurriedly stopped him. Having worked with Li Ming for many years, he had long known that whenever his good friend said this, he had murderous intentions. He didn't know why, but his usually calm friend would become extremely angry whenever he heard any news about the Japanese.

"You yourself said that things are not as good as they used to be. Your Taoist magic is no longer as sharp as it used to be. So let it be. We are a righteous and upright people with overwhelming military power. We don't need to be afraid of him."

Li Ming finally nodded and said, "Well, whoever dares to stretch their claws towards us, don't blame us for chopping it off!"

He Shaohua couldn't help laughing when he saw that Li Ming was still as hot-tempered as ever.

PS: I have already made it very soft, please let me pass.
