Transmigration begins with archery training

Chen Sanshi flicked his finger and fed Qi Cheng and the others pills to help them recover from their injuries: "What are you all standing there for? If you can still stand up, take this unworthy descendant away with you."

"His Majesty?!"

Dongfang Jingxing and his companion staggered closer, then knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, is it really you?!"

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Qi Cheng bowed and then said, "I just don't know how Your Majesty crossed the barrier between heaven and earth to return to the lower realm? Could it be... that demonic tree?"

"Exactly."

Chen Sanshi nodded: "Enough of the small talk. I'll deal with some people first, and then we can discuss the rest together."

The words fell.

He vanished from the spot.

Within a single day.

The entire Han Dynasty was subjected to a massive cleanup.

It's not just the Chen family.

Even the descendants of Zhu Tong and others were not all loyal and virtuous; quite a few colluded with local forces and harmed the people.

It's fair to say that to completely eradicate them, you'd practically have to uproot the entire Han Dynasty.

in this process.

With each descendant of an acquaintance or a member of the Chen family that Chen Sanshi dealt with, his disappointment grew, until it became unbearable, and his decision became even more resolute.

A few months later.

Emperor Jianlong was deposed, taken to the mortal marketplace, and publicly beheaded, his soul scattered.

Of the Chen family members, 182 were killed, 563 had their spiritual roots destroyed, and 1,230 were demoted. More than 20,000 officials and cultivators were also killed.

After the founding heroes, the case spread far and wide, involving as many as 100,000 people.

The remaining sect cultivators and local officials from various regions totaled 500,000.

On that day, the executions took place in the autumn, and the blood flowed like a torrent, almost turning the entire Caishikou into a sea of ​​blood.

This is historically known as the "Deposed Emperor Case".

Half a year later.

Kunxu Heavenly Palace.

Chen Sanshi was handling the aftermath.

Yu Ji died.

Yu Lie was crippled, but later restored his spiritual root through various means and began cultivating again.

The rest of Wang Zhi and others were also mostly unharmed.

Linghe was eradicated once again, and the Han Dynasty was restored to peace.

"Retreat!"

After the last batch of affairs were completed, the ministers all left, leaving only the old officials from the Tianwu era.

"All right."

Chen Sanshi, who had long since become the Heavenly Emperor, was sitting on the dragon throne and looked exhausted. He held his forehead with his hand and said in a deep voice, "Senior brothers and sisters, Qi Cheng, Xiao Zhuzi, you don't need to be so reserved anymore. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly."

"His Majesty."

Qi Cheng spoke up, "Now that peace has been restored to the land, I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are next? If Your Majesty intends to return to the Immortal Realm, then to whom should the throne be passed on?"

"I recommend the King of Qi."

Wang Zhi said, “Your Majesty, Prince Qi has been kind and benevolent since childhood, acts appropriately, and has good aptitude for cultivation. Given time, he will surely become the restorer of our Han Dynasty.”

"Yes."

Rong Yanqiu chimed in, "This child is quite good; Your Majesty can personally observe him for a period of time."

Everyone offered their support.

"I know."

Chen Sanshi calmly said, "I originally intended to make him the new emperor. After that, how long the Han Dynasty can continue depends on his actions and the will of the people."

How long will it last?

Lü Ji asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

The meaning is exactly what it says.

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "The foundation of the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. Even if it is repaired, it will be riddled with holes. It is like a tree whose roots are rotten. No matter how lush the branches and leaves are, it will not last long."

"Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing?"

Dongfang Jingxing said, "Now that you are the Heavenly Emperor, you are invincible not only in the mortal realm but also in the entire cultivation world. With you here, our Great Han should last for thousands of generations!"

"Yes."

Wang Zhi said, "If you are willing, the Great Han can even unify the upper and lower realms! And become a true immortal Han!"

"I intend to..."

Chen Sanshi paused for a moment: "Destroy all the spiritual veins in both the upper and lower realms."

This statement came out.

The entire hall was deathly silent.

They even doubted whether they had misheard.

"Junior brother?!"

Lü Ji raised his head: "Why is that?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Why?"

"Leaving aside us, let's talk about you. You are already the Heavenly Emperor. Destroying the spiritual veins will not benefit you at all!"

"..."

"the reason is simple."

Chen Sanshi had anticipated everyone's reaction. Looking at the sky outside the main hall, he said absentmindedly, "I have been hesitant about destroying the spiritual veins for a long time."

"It wasn't until I returned to Dongsheng Shenzhou this time and saw the situation here that I finally understood why Elder Mei kept asking me to come back and take a look, and why Elder Jiang and the Zhuxian Sect were so persistent about this."

"As long as the spiritual veins exist, the cultivators' demand for spiritual grains will be unavoidable, and the oppression of the weak by the strong will never decrease."

"Of course I can rule the world, but I can't watch over everyone all the time, nor can I exist forever. Sooner or later I will turn into a handful of dust. Even now, no one can do anything to me."

"The only way to solve this problem is to destroy the spiritual veins!"

"The purpose of destroying the spiritual veins is not to destroy the cultivation world, but to give ordinary people, the common people, at the very least, the ability to resist."

"If they are oppressed, they can rise up in rebellion, instead of being trampled underfoot for eternity due to the difference in spiritual roots, and having to pray for a kind cultivator to save them!"

"If there were no spiritual veins, they could choose what kind of county magistrate, prefect, general, or emperor they needed, or even whether they needed an emperor at all."

"All of this should have been their own choice, and only they could have driven it."

Everyone was silent.

After a long pause, Qi Cheng spoke first: "Your Majesty's decision is supported!"

Immediately following, Wang Zhi and his fellow disciples said, "Since it's for the sake of the common people, we support it too."

"What about it?"

Lu Ji asked, "Specifically, what are your plans?"

Chen Sanshi slowly said, "I intend to establish a Heavenly Court. From now on, the affairs of the mortal world will end, and the affairs of the heavens will be handled by the heavens. Immortals will be forever separated and will no longer be able to interfere with each other."

"Heaven?"

Wang Zhi asked, "So, you're saying the Heavenly Court is a place that can't be found in either the Upper or Lower Realms?"

"Yes."

Chen Sanshi nodded: "I plan to use the Primordial Dao Seed to create the Heavenly Realm, establish the Heavenly Court, and then bring a portion of the cultivators from the mortal world to the Heavenly Court. From then on, they will not be allowed to descend to the mortal world. In this way, we can achieve an eternal separation between immortals and mortals."

"That……"

Qi Cheng asked, "How should we decide who should go to the Heavenly Court?"
