Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Only after Zhao Kuangyin left did Zhao Xu show excitement on his face. After giving some instructions, he entered the meditation room and began his cultivation.

Half a day.

When Zhao Xu emerged from seclusion, he had completely changed, transforming from a middle-aged man into a teenager, regaining his youth.

More importantly, his strength has reached the True Qi Realm, and every move he makes has immense power.

In this world, they are practically invincible.

"Issue the imperial decree: Summon all officials to an audience!"

At his command, all the court officials gathered.

Then, when the courtiers saw the unbelievably young emperor walking on air, they were utterly dumbfounded.

This world does indeed have martial arts and lightness skills.

However, even light-body skills must follow basic principles; it is simply impossible to walk leisurely in the void.

Then, recalling the previous rumors—that His Majesty's daughter had received a divine favor and descended from the heavens.

The courtiers were immediately excited.

"I thought it was fake news at first, just a rumor, but I didn't expect it might be true 々｀ ."

"Has Your Majesty also received a divine favor?"

Looking at Zhao Xu, everyone wanted an answer.

Zhao Xu sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the assembled officials.

"Recently, Consort Rou returned from the common people with Princess Ningxiang!"

"Princess Ningxiang has gained a divine destiny, and I have also benefited from it. Now, I still have several hundred years to live, so you don't need to worry about the lack of a successor for the throne."

Several of the courtiers were quite embarrassed upon hearing this.

They had just found a new job.

As a result, the emperor said that he had lived for several hundred years.

With such a long lifespan, which prince or minister could outlive it?

"Your Majesty truly lives up to his title as the Son of Heaven, possessing boundless good fortune, and has even received a divine favor."

"Long live your majesty!"

Everyone started flattering him, and the so-called next party was naturally forgotten.

"Ministry of Justice, investigate the Empress's actions from that year and bring her to justice."

"Ministry of War, select 30,000 men from good families. I will teach them immortal arts and form the Great Song Heavenly Army."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Can those soldiers also teach immortal techniques?

"If this matter is handled well, you will all benefit as well. Immortal arts and immortality are not impossible." Zhao Xu naturally understood everyone's thoughts, but he only glanced at them and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will handle this matter perfectly."

"Retreat."

Zhao Xu didn't say much, but looked at the eunuch, who immediately announced the end of the court session.

On that very day, news of the current emperor's rejuvenation, his divine favor, and his lifespan being extended by several hundred years spread throughout Bianliang and then rapidly to other places.

At the same time, several more imperial edicts were issued from the palace.

With the support of Emperor Taizu of Song and absolute power, Zhao Xu began to implement sweeping reforms.

"What? The emperor has become young again!"

"He has hundreds of years more to live? Heaven is so unfair!"

"How could there be a prince who reigns for hundreds of years?"

A few days later, when the news from Bianliang arrived, the princes of the Song Dynasty were overwhelmed with emotion.

The emperor had no crown prince, even though they were very close to the throne.

Now—even if others do nothing, they can outlive them!

Zhushan County.

Hang Tiesheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"His Majesty actually received a divine favor? Mother, isn't the story of immortals just a myth?"

"I used to think it was fake too. But His Majesty has really become younger. So many ministers, they can't all be mistaken, can they?"

"Moreover, the Imperial Guards also spread the word that when Consort Rou and Princess Ningxiang returned, they did not enter through the main gate, but descended from the sky."

"Combining these rumors, the matter becomes quite clear—there really are gods in this world."

"Legend has it that Princess Ningxiang once lived in Guanyin Temple in our Zhushan County. Now, many people are coming here in search of immortality. Tiesheng, the county town is a mixed bag of people lately, and there may be a big disturbance. We need to be very careful."

"Yes, mother."

Upon hearing this, Hang Tiesheng remained silent for a long time before he managed to piece together his shattered worldview.

Chat group.

Ningxiang: "Now the matter is perfectly resolved. The Empress has been deposed and imprisoned, and the Crown Prince has also been deposed and given the title of Viscount. Unfortunately, he attacked his father on the spot and was imprisoned. I don't know when he will be released."

Zhao Kuangyin: "This is a bit difficult. It's the crime of regicide. It's an unforgivable crime. Zhao Xu was already very merciful by not executing him on the spot."

Hu Yifei: "This is not your fault, Ningxiang. That prince's personality is too extreme, and he suddenly lost his position as crown prince, so it is normal for him to do such a thing."

Su Xiaoxiao: "In the original novel, the crown prince was very arrogant and spoiled, like he didn't have a brain."

Ningxiang: "Hmm. Let's talk about (Wang Qianzhao) later. If we let him out now, he might cause trouble again. Let him calm down. He's lost so much all at once, he definitely won't be able to calm down so quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhao Kuangyin, have you reached an agreement with the emperor over there?"

Zhao Kuangyin: "That's right. Mutual benefit and assistance will add another world to the Great Song Alliance. Fortunately, he's not an emperor like Zhao Gou, otherwise, I would have to put righteousness before family again."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "You are very decisive in your killings."

Zhao Kuangyin: "What else? Those scoundrel emperors definitely need to be dealt with. Unlike you, Zhu Youjian didn't even get rid of you."

Zhu Youjian: "...Am I really that bad?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "You don't need to worry about my family affairs, Zhao. Although Chongzhen was incompetent, there was no need to punish him. As for purging, if you encounter any troublemakers, I will let you know that the Zhu family's rules are absolutely strict, and the Zhu family does not tolerate trash."

Sun Wukong: "Oh no! I think I've gotten myself into some trouble!"

Jin Chanzi: "What happened? Did we expose the chat group? I remember that chat groups can conceal secrets!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Is Buddha going to kill you?"

Sun Wukong: "No, it seems that the overall situation of Heaven has changed on my side. Buddha has already sent people to Five Finger Mountain to check the situation."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Has the course of Heaven changed? Is Buddhism no longer thriving?"

Fahai: "Strange, why has the course of Heaven suddenly changed?"

Zhu Youjian: "It should be caused by the chat group. Compared to before, it's just because Sun Wukong joined the chat group."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "This child has actually become much smarter!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "I'm so pleased."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "What are you so happy about? This is my son."

Sun Wukong: "Caused by the chat group? Why is that?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I don't know."

Xiaomai: "By the way, Su Xiaoxiao, don't you know how to deduce the secrets of heaven?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "This is a technical job, don't make it difficult for me! [rolls eyes]"

Hu Yifei: "The Great Immortal isn't even proactive in his own duties, that won't do. @Zhang Taixuan, Daoist Master, do you know why?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course it's because the monkey was bored and practiced for a while."

Fahai687: "If you can change the course of Heaven with just a little cultivation, could the Monkey King in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons be a pillar of heaven, the center of the world?"

Sun Wukong: "No, I am just an ordinary monkey, not the so-called Heavenly Pillar Stone. At least that's how it is in my world."

Umaru: "Huh, the monkeys in this world don't have any background? Then why did Buddhism send them westward?"

Sun Wukong: "I roughly know. When Buddhist monks subdue demons and monsters, their stories spread among the people, and their incense offerings become very popular. Since I'm so famous, I naturally bring even more incense offerings. That's why I joined the Journey to the West team."

Sun Wukong: "Moreover, what I'm fighting for in this world's westward journey is probably not fortune, but incense offerings. The four of us from the Journey to the West will travel through the human world and display the prestige of Buddhism. I wonder how many people will be converted to Buddhism. This must be the plan of Buddhism."

Jin Chanzi: "It seems that the foundation of your world is too shallow, and even the Buddhist sect cannot participate in the struggle for destiny."

Fahai: "Compared to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the previous world, this world does feel inferior. Not only is Sun Wukong no longer the Heavenly Pillar Stone, but even the things involved in the Journey to the West have changed."

Zhang Taixuan: "That's normal. All the heavens and myriad realms wouldn't be the same!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Speaking of which, Brother Taixuan still hasn't explained why Sun Wukong changed the course of Heaven as soon as he started cultivating. He's not a pillar of heaven, he doesn't need such a grand spectacle, does he?"
