The current Dragon Guard Division has undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
Although the level remains the same as the fourth level of Tiandi Xuanhuang, the number of people has increased dozens or hundreds of times.
In the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose of establishing the Dragon Protection Division was to increase the martial arts foundation of the Ming Empire.
Because there was no technology at that time, martial arts power developed rapidly after the revival of spiritual energy, and even reached the point where it could threaten the imperial power.
But later, after Lao Zhu entered the second dimension and gained technological power.
The status of the Dragon Guard Division began to plummet, because even ninth-grade warriors were still vulnerable to guns and cannons.
A warrior who has worked hard for ten years has no power to fight back in front of the firearms mass-produced by the factory.
This caused the importance of the Dragon Protection Division to begin to decline, and eventually it became the production base for imperial elixirs and talismans, as well as a quasi-supervision department for the empire to control immortal cultivators.
Until now, after opening the Three Kingdoms plane, the situation has begun to change again.
Because both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao discovered that the power of science and technology has its limitations.
For those who are truly strong, technological weapons do not have an overwhelming advantage.
To be precise, extraordinary people below the seventh level can be killed by firearms, but above the seventh level, as long as they are careful enough, it is basically impossible to be injured by firearms.
The Ming Empire urgently needs a large number of sufficiently loyal sixth-grade and above powerhouses to make up for the lack of top powerhouses.
In fact, with the foundation of the Ming Empire, even if it develops naturally, in a few decades, it will still be possible to develop strong men of grade six or above who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
But the threat from the divine creatures in the Three Kingdoms plane is imminent, so some things must be done as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, do you mean to select another group of people from the Dragon Guard Division?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, stroking his beard after listening to Zhu Biao's explanation.
"Yes, level six is the threshold. At the same time, you must be able to fight and have a certain skill."
"I want to form another dragon guard in the Dragon Guard Division. I will select the best among the best. As long as I am selected, whatever resources he needs from now on, Daming will provide them. His family will also receive preferential treatment, and his status will be equal to that of a first-class member of the country."
"He does not need to deal with any social activities, nor does he need to be distracted from doing anything. The only requirement is to practice and practice continuously, and force is his only assessment."
"And this Dragon Guard is led by me personally and is only responsible to me!" Zhu Biao said.
Zhang Sanfeng immediately understood what Zhu Biao meant.
In fact, this is the same purpose as when the Ming Dynasty first established the Dragon Protection Department. Since the Dragon Protection Department was first established, the functions of this department have gone round and round, and now it has finally returned to its original path.
"I see!"
"I will pass this news on!" Zhang Sanfeng said.
Soon, the news spread throughout the Dragon Protection Division, not just the Dragon Protection Division, but all the powerful men with this qualification in the entire Ming Empire received the news.
At the same time, it also aroused the strong emotions of all the powerful people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The fact that Ming Dynasty can provide all the required cultivation resources makes everyone flock to it.
After all, cultivation becomes more and more expensive as you go to the later stage, especially after level 6, a huge amount of money is spent every day. The most important thing is that there are some more precious things that you cannot buy even if you want to.
Because those things are under the control of the state.
But obviously it will be different after joining this department.
No one can resist the temptation of enjoying what a country provides.
Even because of this incident, the Ming Empire launched an internal competition.
It took three months and 289 people were finally selected.
All of these people are sixth-grade warriors and above, and eight of them have even reached fifth-grade.
It can be seen from this that the terror of the Ming Dynasty's state machine was so great. With one order, nearly three hundred strong men of rank six or above came directly.
You must know that each of these three hundred people is equivalent to a second-rate general in the Three Kingdoms plane.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
After the continuous blood transfusions of the Ming Empire, the Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Its productivity was enough to start the first industrial revolution,
It was in this year that Zhu Yuanzhang formally deposed Liu Xie, the Han Xian Emperor, and proclaimed himself emperor.
At the same time, the space passage from Jizhou to the Ming Dynasty is completely opened, so that people from the Ming Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms planes can enter and exit freely.
In fact, this plane has completely become the second sub-plane of the Ming Dynasty.
However, what puzzles Zhu Biao is that since the last mission was completed, the system has not released any missions for so many years. Logically speaking, there should be another mission in this plane.
Zhu Biao tried many methods to trigger the task, but all failed.
To be honest, this made Zhu Biao a little disappointed.
After all, the missions give you good things.
But the mission is gone, and we still have to continue doing what we need to do.
To be honest, he has actually lived a very fulfilling life these years.
He has been leading the Dragon Guard to kill divine creatures in the Three Kingdoms plane.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Yun also joined Longwei three years ago.
In addition to him, after three years of transformation, Lu Bu and Dian Wei, the two peak martial beings in the Three Kingdoms plane, also joined the Dragon Guard and became a team captain under their own command.
Zhu Biao discussed with both of them privately.
How should I put it, with the Xingchen Dao Sword in hand, it is no longer difficult for Zhu Biao to defeat them.
"Boom!" In a large mountain in the Japanese country, he and his team members finally successfully hunted a divine creature after being hunted by them for three days.
The moment this divine creature fell, the entire team of more than 20 members immediately jumped on it with cheers.
Zhu Biao was no exception. Without any delay, everyone sat cross-legged around this mythical creature and began to practice.
At the same time, the divine substance on this divine creature began to spread out and was continuously inhaled into the bodies of everyone including Zhu Biao, increasing everyone's cultivation.
The utility of this stuff was discovered five years ago.
It is a cultivation resource that can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, this is the top cultivation resource.
Including spiritual stones, nothing can compare with the speed at which this divine substance improves one's cultivation.
Moreover, after research by the Academy of Sciences, it can be determined that this thing is not harmful to extraordinary people. In their words, it is called a pure resource.
Its level is as high as level four.
Even the quality of the divine substances released after the death of some powerful divine creatures can even reach level three.
To be honest, since discovering that divine creatures have this characteristic, Dragon Guard's enthusiasm for hunting these divine creatures has suddenly increased. In the entire Three Kingdoms plane, the number of such divine creatures has suddenly decreased a lot, and they are almost killed.
It has become an endangered animal.
Suddenly, Zhu Biao, who was practicing, was shaken all over. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, there was a compelling momentum rising from him.
His cultivation level broke through again, and he advanced to the fourth level of martial arts...
At the same time, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Host’s cultivation level improved]
[Calculating the real-time combat power of the host]
[It has been determined that the host’s combat effectiveness has reached the minimum standard, and the hidden mission of the third level of the World Tree game has been completed. 】
[Congratulations to the host for meeting the requirements and successfully passing the third level test of the World Tree game]
[The World Tree game is being upgraded...]
[Countdown: seven days]
"Huh……!"
Zhu Biao was really shocked this time. He didn't expect that it was just an ordinary upgrade, but it was actually related to the World Tree game.
But soon the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
To be honest, this World Tree game is really awesome!
This hidden mission is so special that it leaves people speechless.
That is to say, the son of this plane is himself. If Lao Zhu is really the son of the plane, he may not be able to complete this hidden mission in his lifetime.
After all, Lao Zhu's current cultivation level has just reached the ninth level of martial arts, and Qi Hai has never even practiced.
Although Zhu Biao tried to persuade him many times, he really had no interest in this aspect at all.
To him, nothing was more fascinating than handling government affairs.
After vomiting about Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao couldn't help but fell silent again.
He suddenly became more wary of this World Tree game, as if his every move was being watched by someone from the dark side.
To be honest, this feeling is quite uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky.
The sky was blue without a single cloud, but to him it seemed like an invisible layer of fog had enveloped it, preventing him from seeing clearly.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" asked a guard beside him.
"Nothing, I'm a little tired!"
"I'll leave the matters here to you!"
"Leave the specific command of Longwei to Zilong. I will return to Nanjing in advance!"
His intuition told him that this system upgrade was very important to him, so he had better go back to Nanjing and find a stable place.
Seven days flew by in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Biao was lying on the bed in his own mansion, waiting with calm eyes.
When the countdown reached zero, Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly went dark, and the next moment he found himself suddenly appearing in a dark starry sky.
At the same time, the system sound sounded again.
[World Tree game has been upgraded]
[After evaluation, the host’s performance in the three planes has reached perfect level]
[Has reached the qualification to start the next stage of the game]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining new permissions]
[The host will become the Heavenly Dao of Lingwu Ming Dynasty]
[The Lingwu Daming plane is eligible for exemption, and this plane will not be invaded by other planes]
[The next phase of the game has begun]
[Plane name: Zombie World]
[Task: Collect three hundred white quality magic cores, ten green quality magic cores, and three blue quality magic cores]
[Countdown to mission start: three days]
[Warning: The zombie world is a fourth-level extraordinary world, and there is a plane of heaven. Without its awareness, large-scale invasion is not allowed. This task needs to be completed by the host independently."
[Warning: If you die during the mission, the host's heavenly authority will be revoked, and the recovery of spiritual energy in this world will be stagnant]
[Reminder: This world will undergo the fourth spiritual energy recovery, please be prepared.]
A series of sounds rang in Zhu Biao's ears one after another, and Zhu Biao couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. It was really that the information came in too much at once, and Zhu Biao couldn't bear it.
But he soon reacted.
"Damn it, it's a bit crazy now!"
"I can't hug Lao Zhu's thigh anymore and pick his wool, right?" Zhu Biao grinned.
He stood up and paced around the bedroom, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally stood up and walked out.
Fengtian Hall of the Ming Dynasty.
This palace has been renovated once. Although the outside has long turned into a world of high-rise buildings, Lao Zhu still feels nostalgic in comparison.
For him, he is not used to living in high-rise buildings, so this hall is more comfortable.
So although the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes, this Fengtian Palace has remained unchanged to this day.
Because the Three Kingdoms plane has been completely smoothed, Lao Zhu has returned from there. At this moment, he is analyzing the situation of the Three Kingdoms plane with the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying.
"For the time being, this is the only way the Three Kingdoms plane can go."
"To completely conquer something is not something that happens overnight."
"After all, it's not like the Jiajing plane. In the final analysis, it's still our Ming Dynasty. It has our foundation, so it's easy to conquer. And the most important extraordinary power of that world is Confucianism and Taoism, which only I, the Ming Dynasty, have."
"If you want to conquer that world, just conquer the Ming Dynasty."
"But the planes of the Three Kingdoms are different. We have no foundation in this world. It is not easy to swallow it in one bite. Besides, except for the Han Dynasty, other countries are not easy to deal with."
"A divine creature created by the Xiongnu has caused us trouble for several years."
"Not to mention the Roman Empire in Central Asia. That empire was at its peak."
"The information sent back by the Jin Yiwei said that the strength of the Roman Empire is no worse than that of the Han Dynasty, and there are many talented people like Lu Bu."
"The most important thing is that even if we conquer Rome, it will not be of much benefit to us. The spiritual materials we need now do not require ordinary mineral deposits."
"So for the time being, our sphere of influence in the Three Kingdoms Plane can be limited to Asia. There is no need to expand further. There is no need."
Zhu Xiongying showed a thoughtful look on his face and smiled: "I understand, grandpa, the most precious thing in that world is people. People from Han Dynasty have the same roots as us. We can take them as our own. People from other countries
Different, after all, those who are not of my race must have different minds, right?"
"That's right!"
"My dear grandson is right!" Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.
"Father, I have something very important to tell you!" When Zhu Biao walked in, he saw Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying's grandfather and grandson talking happily. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a solemn expression on his face.
Open your mouth.
"oh……!"
Lao Zhu was stunned, then stood up and said: "Xiongying, please review the memorial for grandpa. I will go for a walk with your uneasy father to see if he has anything important to say!"
