I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

The demon cultivators who came out with Lan Huairuo also cast plant-related spells together.

Large stretches of emerald green grass suddenly emerged from the desert after the heavy rain, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In just half an hour, a circle of forest and grassland stretching half a mile appeared around Lanlou City.

After exhausting their magic power, the demon monks meditated on the spot to recover. They opened the gourd bottle they carried with them and took a breath of the compressed spiritual energy inside.

This compressed spiritual energy was specially developed by the Cultivation Academy. It was carefully prepared by mixing the essence of the sun and the moon with the yin and yang energies. It can help cultivators quickly recover their mana. Now it is the standard for cultivators in the imperial court.

After recovering his magic power, Lan Huairuo led the demon monks to continue to perform rituals, promoting the growth of plants and creating forests and grasslands.

After just a few days, the task assigned by the court was completed.

Protective forests and windbreaks and sand-fixing belts have been planted in key locations within a hundred miles around Lanlou City. They can effectively conserve water and soil, allowing local people to reasonably reclaim farmland and grow food crops in the surrounding areas.

Ecological transformation work like this has been carried out in full swing in various places since the completion of the Jiuzhou Formation.

With the help of the power of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the government monks magnified their magical powers and used magic to directly transform the topography, build water conservancy projects, reclaim wasteland, and realize large-scale planting.

The desert was turned into fertile fields, floods were turned into fish ponds, and farmers raised fish. The monks took charge of the infrastructure, while the common people were responsible for the daily management, which complemented each other.

Therefore, in just a few months, the living standards of the people in Jiuzhou have improved significantly. The people are grateful and support Zhang Hong's policies and the existence of the Jiuzhou formation. The Xuanhuang Pagoda can absorb more incense and vows, forming a virtuous circle.

Jiuzhou Academy, special recruitment class.

There are 49 students in the class, most of whom are talented teenagers selected from the best colleges of Kyushu University. Unlike others, these talented teenagers receive special training and can freely choose the subjects they like to give full play to their talents.

Most importantly, they can receive specialized instruction from Tianzun in one class every week, and have an opportunity every month to seek private guidance from Tianzun.

In addition to these talented young people, there are also several special students.

For example, the six princes and princesses of the Zhu royal family, as compensation to the Zhu royal family, can come to the special recruitment class to receive the Human Emperor education customized by Zhang Hong. In the future, the first Human Emperor will be selected from among the six.

For example, the prince and princess of the nine-tailed fox lineage of the fox demon royal family, the hibernating dragon with true dragon blood, the stone fairy that became a spirit from a spirit stone... These monsters have extraordinary roots and have also been recruited into the special recruitment class.

In short, they are a group of the most outstanding talents from each ethnic group, and Zhang Hong personally teaches them.

The special recruitment class has a separate college located within the Tianzun Palace.

Normally, students mostly study on their own in the library, or go to Jiuzhou Academy to attend classes, and most of them manage their own studies.

"Ugh……"

The Ming Dynasty prince Zhu Youxiao sat by the window and sighed.

"Brother, why are you looking so sad?"

A boy in his teens with handsome features came over and asked Zhu Youxiao in confusion.

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "I feel that being an emperor is too annoying. I don't want to be an emperor. Fifth brother, you have been studying hard since you were young. You should inherit the throne."

The fifth prince Zhu Youjian is called the fifth brother. He has a stubborn look between his eyebrows and looks like the kind of iron-headed kid who won't turn back until he hits the wall.

Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "Brother, you are wrong to think like that. Father arranged for us to study with Tianzun. This is an opportunity that many people can't wait for. How can we live up to the expectations of father and Tianzun?"

The Thirteenth Prince Zhu Youxin also said, "Yes, big brother, you are the one among us that father has the highest hopes for. As the eldest prince, you must set a good example."

"I know that's the truth. But compared to being an emperor, I prefer being an engineer..."

The three were chatting when the sound of silver bell-like laughter came from outside the study.

"Big brother, fifth brother, thirteenth brother. We are here to see you!"

Before the person arrives, the sweet and passionate call comes first.

The study door was pushed open, and three pretty little girls jumped in.

One was in her teens, one was seven or eight, and one was five or six. They were all delicate and cute, and had the appearance of beauties despite their small size.

The oldest one is called Zhu Huijuan, the middle one is called Zhu Huiwan, and the youngest one is called Zhu Huiyan. They are all princesses of the Zhu royal family.

The six princes and princesses usually live in opposite courtyards and often interact with each other.

Zhu Huijuan, the oldest imperial sister, said, "The ten-day exam will be held next month. The Heavenly Master will personally test our learning results this semester. How are you preparing?"

The Thirteenth Prince Zhu Youxin slumped in his chair and wailed, "I am totally unprepared. I don't expect to inherit the throne. I can only count on my eldest brother and fifth brother."

The eldest prince Zhu Youxiao touched his nose guiltily: "Actually, I am not sure... Juan'er, Sixth Sister, Ninth Sister, you are all the smartest among the princesses. The Heavenly Lord said that women can also be emperors. I think you can try your best, and I will support you spiritually!"

The fifth prince Zhu Youjian looked at his elder brother with disdain, raised his head and chest, looked up at the sky and said confidently: "I will definitely win the Excellence Award and impress the Heavenly Lord!"

The Ninth Princess Zhu Huiyan looked at her brothers with disdain and said to the eldest princess, "Big sister, I told you, none of the three brothers can be trusted. We sisters are the ones that have to be relied on!"

She was only six years old, and her voice was still a bit childish, but she looked mature, like a little adult.

The Sixth Princess Zhu Huiyan said: "I have been quiet since I was a child. According to the books, I am not suitable to be a leader. Big sister, Sixth brother, Ninth sister, the responsibility of inheriting the throne has to be shouldered by the three of you."

No one said anything. Everyone knew that the Sixth Princess was telling the truth, and that her long-cherished wish was to be a writer...

The eldest daughter of the emperor, Zhu Huijuan, looked at her brothers and sisters who were not doing well, and could not help but sigh heavily, and said with a sad face: "You... Sigh. In this case, what should we do about our father's instructions?"

Zhu Youxiao patted Zhu Huijuan on the shoulder and comforted her: "Juan'er, you don't need to put pressure on yourself. Father said that inheriting the throne is only one of the options. If things can't be done, it's okay to take a step back."

"What's important is that the six of us are safe and sound, and that we have the approval of the Heavenly Master."

"Remember what Tianzun said to us in the first class, everyone has his or her own strengths. Only by knowing yourself and finding the right direction can you achieve success."

"The Heavenly Master said that no matter how bad it is, he will choose one of the six of us to be the next Human Emperor."

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter who among us takes the position. As long as we do our best, the country is too big to be governed by the emperor alone."

"You see, Tianzun rarely manages government affairs. Each government department has its own laws, regulations and systems to regulate its operations."

"So the most important thing for us is to have a clear conscience, rather than worrying about the succession to the throne."

Zhu Youxiao said this, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
