Over the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, dark clouds were gathering, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
Zhu Biao stood in his own princely residence, looking up at the rain with his hands behind his back, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
In the past three months, he has experienced thirteen heavy rains.
Because heavy rain must be accompanied by thunder, and what he needs is Thunder Tempering Body.
Since heavenly catastrophe cannot be caused in this world, then the body can be tempered by the thunder of nature. This is the method Zhu Biao came up with.
But it was a pity that the natural thunder was not strong enough for him, which directly caused him to directly experience the thunder tempering thirteen times.
In the past three months, he has almost been running around looking for Thunder.
Fortunately, he has a global perspective and knows very well about the heavy rains in the Ming Dynasty.
Today, he had a premonition that this would be the last time he experienced Thunder Tempering. He had already vaguely sensed that his physical body had reached the final critical point. He only needed a little help to break through the mundane world and become an immortal.
To be honest, he had been looking forward to this moment for a long, long time.
"Boom!" Among the dark clouds in the sky, thunder suddenly fell. Zhu Biao felt the brilliant power from nature. With a thought, his figure disappeared directly from where it was originally, and when he reappeared, it was already in the sky.
Among the clouds.
He directly sat cross-legged and began to silently circulate his magic power.
And as his mana flowed, the dark clouds that originally covered a hundred-mile radius in the sky suddenly had a tendency to condense toward the center.
The originally loose thunder gradually began to gather power, and a vague divine power began to surround Zhu Biao.
But in the city of Nanjing, the originally gloomy sky suddenly felt like the clouds were clearing and the sun was shining through.
But what is surprising is that only most of the sky above Nanjing City can be seen through the clouds. In a small area directly above Nanjing City, the dark clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and gradually even formed a huge shadow.
It shrouded directly above the city of Nanjing.
This strange sight immediately attracted everyone in Nanjing.
Including those extraordinary people, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at this rare celestial phenomenon in the sky with a look of amazement. They were astonished and inexplicable.
Not to mention ordinary people, even those high-level extraordinary beings are completely unable to create such a spectacle, because things like thunder belong to the power of God, and even third-level extraordinary beings cannot control it at all.
Everyone thought this was a new celestial phenomenon.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is a new extraordinary world. It seems that there is nothing strange about what kind of celestial phenomena appear in such a world.
But for some people, it is not surprising at all, because they have experienced it ten times before.
"This is already the fourteenth time!"
"His Royal Highness has sent news before that it is very likely to be successful this time, so let us be prepared." A middle-aged man in his thirties said with an excited face.
"Director, just don't worry, our manuscript has been prepared a few months ago. As soon as His Highness the Crown Prince successfully overcomes the tribulation, the news of the birth of the first immortal of the Ming Dynasty can be spread throughout the Ming Empire.
Everyone can appreciate the grace of my Highness, the Prince of Ming Dynasty."
Around the middle-aged man, several people spoke at the same time, and the words they said were naturally mainly compliments.
"Boom!"
While the people below were talking, the thunder in the sky changed again.
Because they were condensed by Zhu Biao's magic power, these thunders became more and more violent. Among the black clouds, the white light of thunder quietly emerged.
And in the middle of this ultimate white thunder, a wisp of purple spirit quietly appeared.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel refreshed when he saw this scene.
This is the purple divine thunder mentioned by the Thousand-Eyed Sword Master. I heard from the Thousand-Eyed Sword Master that this kind of divine thunder is the emperor of thunder. If this kind of thunder can come when the tribulation is overturned, then as long as the tribulation-overcoming person can successfully overcome the tribulation
, its cultivation level can directly skyrocket, and it is even possible to directly transform into an immortal.
Become the most powerful group of beings in the Liaozhai world.
Originally, Zhu Biao had long since given up the idea of triggering the purple divine thunder. After all, he would never be able to survive the tribulation and become an immortal in the world of Liaozhai. However, he did not expect that during this last tribulation, the natural thunder he had condensed would also be there.
A trace of purple thunder was born in the boundless thunder.
This made Zhu Biao very happy.
Although it is said that such purple divine thunder is a hundred times more powerful than ordinary thunder, Zhu Biao's physical body is also extremely powerful now. Ordinary thunder is like scratching an itch for him, so naturally he is not afraid of the coming of this purple divine thunder.
"Come on, let the storm come more violently!"
Zhu Biao shouted loudly, and his figure swayed, turning into an afterimage and rushing into the boundless thunder.
At this moment, Zhu Biao even had an illusion.
He felt that the natural thunder that he had condensed suddenly had its own consciousness after he said these words. With an angry roar, the thunder suddenly became three points more violent.
But now Zhu Biao has no time to take care of such minutiae. The most important thing for him now is to overcome the calamity and become an immortal.
Thunder rumbled and enveloped the entire city of Nanjing.
Anyone can see that there is something wrong with such thunder, but what makes all extraordinary people feel strange is that the entire city of Nanjing is as silent as ever, without any reaction to this.
And gradually some gossip began to spread.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang strictly ordered that the news that His Highness the Prince was overcoming the tribulation should not be spread outside the country until the success was achieved, the news finally spread like wildfire as thunder continued to roar over the capital.
The whole city of Nanjing is discussing this matter.
Feeling the surging public opinion in Nanjing City, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked up at the flashing thunder in the distance. A trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "Perhaps this is God's will. God's will allows Biao'er to survive the disaster above Nanjing City. God's will allows Biao'er to survive the disaster above Nanjing City."
His name as an immortal is resounding throughout the world."
You must know that the previous thirteen tribulations were not chosen by them on their own initiative. They all followed the natural thunder, but they did not expect that the location of this last tribulation would appear in the city of Nanjing.
This kind of coincidence naturally made Lao Zhu unable to help but have some associations.
"Boom!" Finally, the thunder in the sky exploded after resounding for an hour, and a tall figure appeared in the sky above Nanjing City.
This is the figure of a giant.
An extremely dazzling light spread out all over his body, and there were even faint shadows of dragons and phoenixes surrounding him.
The moment they saw this figure appear, more than half of the people in the entire city of Nanjing knelt down and worshiped, and more than 70% of the extraordinary people lowered their heads in awe.
Countless inexplicable forces began to gather from below, and finally gathered in front of Zhu Biao, and were passively sucked into his body.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Biao no longer looked like a human being at this moment, but turned into a god.
Zhu Biao naturally felt the power from all living beings, but he had no time to care about it now, because he was completely out of control. His body, his soul, and everything about him were evolving independently.
and fusion.
This is a reinvention.
Zhu Biao soon realized that perhaps he was no longer a human being, and that he had jumped from one species to another.
Jumped from one class to another.
This feeling is quite amazing.
He even felt that his physical body was no longer bound to him now. He could travel thousands of miles with just one thought, and with a move of his fingers, he could turn the city of Nanjing below into ruins.
"Is the Immortal so powerful?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised.
Because in his feeling, immortals are just like that. Although they are far superior to transformed gods, they are not invincible. But now he has a feeling of invincibility.
But at the same time, there was also a sense of strangeness.
Something that originally belonged to oneself is quietly moving away from oneself, oneself is becoming a stranger, and even oneself does not even recognize oneself.
"What's going on?" A trace of fear flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.
He was really frightened at this moment.
He thought of a possibility.
An extremely scary possibility.
[Detected host breaking through Wonderland]
[The original authority of the host has been improved, and the host will be promoted from the son of the plane to the way of heaven]
[World Tree will be fully opened for the host]
[The next dimension is about to open]
[Plane name: Journey to the West]
At the same time, a series of voices suddenly sounded in Zhu Biao's ears.
Zhu Biao's mind suddenly shook when he heard the long-lost system prompt, but this was still not what Zhu Biao really cared about.
Because as he advanced to the fairyland, the things in his body that he had always regarded as treasures were quietly being lost.
That is his seven emotions and six desires.
The more advanced a cultivator is, the weaker his emotions and desires will be. Zhu Biao has always been aware of this and has always been on guard against this.
He had always done well before and had never been dominated by this kind of emotion.
But now, at the moment of becoming an immortal, all my emotions and desires are about to be taken away directly.
This is something Zhu Biao absolutely cannot accept, because if his emotions and desires are taken away, he will become an absolute rational machine.
In this way, he will no longer have any emotion or sympathy for the country of Ming Dynasty and ordinary mortals, and will even no longer maintain respect for Lao Zhu.
And the most terrifying thing is that by then he will become the Heavenly Dao of the entire Ming Dynasty.
If this is true, then the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely changed because of him.
Perhaps by then the number of immortals in the Ming Dynasty will increase and their strength will increase, but this is definitely not the situation Zhu Biao wants to see.
"Quickly, record the current scene!"
"His Royal Highness is obviously cooperating with us, we must not let him down!"
"Hurry up and spread the news of His Highness the Crown Prince's immortality throughout the country as quickly as possible. We must let more people see His Highness the Crown Prince's heroic appearance."
And while Zhu Biao was still struggling in the sky, a group of news reporters below who had followed Zhu Biao to take pictures all the way were already busy with surprises on their faces.
This is the task assigned to them by Zhu Biao, and they must handle it well.
Just when Zhu Biao felt that he could no longer hold on any longer and was completely drained of all his emotions and desires, suddenly countless powers of faith came pouring in.
This is the special power that all sentient beings have contributed to his worship.
To be honest, Zhu Biao was aware of this power, and even those news reporters were arranged by him.
One of the functions of these people is to spread the news of their becoming immortals throughout the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the entire Ming Dynasty will be excited. After all, this is the first immortal in the history of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it can also shock Xiaoxiao and make those who have any interest in the Ming Empire
People who think otherwise have died down.
After all, the Ming Empire is already an immortal dynasty with immortals as its commanders.
And the second is to obtain the special power generated by these people's worship of themselves.
This kind of power is actually very similar to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. It is the power of all living beings.
But it's different.
National destiny is the power of luck. It is the people's sense of identity with a country that they spontaneously gather because their lives are getting better and better.
This kind of power is pure and powerful, but at the same time it has many limitations. It cannot be mobilized except by the king of a country, and it must be mobilized by a wise king.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to mobilize this power of all living beings.
But this kind of power generated by worshiping a person is actually more like a kind of will power, or it can be said to be the power of faith.
This power is mottled and full of uncertainty.
Because this power of beings contains various emotions, such as awe, joy, and even curse.
But this power is not as proud as the power of luck. It is a power that everyone can use.
Buddhism in the Liaozhai world has conducted extremely in-depth research on this power.
Zhu Bian was originally just in case, and absorbed this power in order to resist the sequelae of weakening his emotions and six desires after becoming an immortal.
This is also the usage he got from Buddhism.
But Zhu Biao really didn't expect that his seven emotions and six desires would weaken so much after he became an immortal. This was really too dangerous for him.
But fortunately, I made arrangements in advance and gained this power of faith.
This kind of power is stabilizing the seven emotions and six desires in his body that are quietly dissipating, and is even slowly recovering.
To be honest, Zhu Biao was overjoyed.
He began to consciously absorb these powers for his own use.
But soon, this magical power was absorbed by him, but his emotions were still slowly weakening.
This immediately surprised Zhu Biao again.
Because this is the power of the entire city of Nanjing's belief in itself, but it still cannot completely solve the sequelae of the passing of seven emotions and six desires.
"This... why is this so!"
"The fairyland I have cultivated this time is really a little too weird!"
But to be honest, Zhu Biao was not panicked at all.
Because soon, as the news of his immortality spread throughout the Ming Empire, he would receive more and more power of faith.
He didn't believe it yet. Even if he gathered the power of a country's faith, he still couldn't stop the loss of his seven emotions and six desires caused by becoming an immortal.
