The King of Black Fog

Chapter 548: Return to the Ming Dynasty (Part 3)


Li Changzhou put down his wine cup: "The Heavenly Court no longer exists, and the Immortals have ventured into deep space. As for me, in these years, I have traveled across numerous planets and witnessed many strange tales."

He flicked his fingers.

A scene appeared in the center of the hall.

Piloting planets traversing the stars, battling monsters as large as celestial bodies;

Ancient ships of immense size, with mountain ranges sprawled across their hulls, and rivers and lakes scattered throughout;

In the vast universe, there are also grandiose cities, where even stars can dock like ships at a pier.

The audience was spellbound, and upon regaining their senses, they marveled endlessly, pointing and whispering excitedly, their faces flushed with enthusiasm and excitement.

The Jiajing Emperor sighed: "When the Immortal Master achieved immortality, he once told me that this world is narrow, but the universe is vast and boundless. After achieving immortality, one should travel the universe and witness the galaxies; now, the Immortal Master has fulfilled his wish, while I am still struggling over the mountains, facing hardships step by step."

"Your Majesty, did you perhaps forget that I once said that to achieve immortality, one must endure countless hardships?"

"I was too hasty." The Jiajing Emperor sighed.

"Today I come, first to congratulate Your Majesty, and second to remind Your Majesty—the darker the sky, the closer to dawn, the closer to dawn, the darker the sky. The closer Your Majesty is to achieving immortality, the greater the chaos in the world; this is Your Majesty's human tribulation. If you surmount it, you will achieve the Dao and become immortal; if not, death will dissolve the Dao, and the dynasty will fall."

Through [Heavenly Will·Fate], Li Changzhou saw the fate of the Jiajing Emperor, ultimately failing the tribulation, and the throne changing hands.

And he, who has integrated [Heavenly Will·Fate] and can be considered a 'God of Destiny,' came here in an attempt to change the Jiajing Emperor's fate, thereby capturing destiny and understanding fate.

The Jiajing Emperor also guessed his own end in failing the tribulation.

He stood up and bowed to Li Changzhou: "Does the Immortal Master have a method to teach me to overcome the tribulation?"

Li Changzhou also stood up, his left hand raised slightly, and with an invisible force lifted the Jiajing Emperor.

"With a sincere heart, even frost can fly, cities can fall, and metal and stone can be penetrated—Your Majesty, possessing the empire and countless ingenious methods, only lacks unwavering will. With the resolve to move mountains like Yu Gong, what can heaven do for me? This alone is enough to achieve immortality."

The Jiajing Emperor pondered thoughtfully.

Li Changzhou continued: "I just returned from beyond the heavens, and saw that due to a great fire in the palace, Your Majesty's mind was shaken; this is a great inner demon."

The Jiajing Emperor's expression remained unchanged, yet he broke out in a cold sweat.

Over the years, he had also been ambitious, but as demons became more numerous and the rebels grew stronger, he indeed felt powerless and lacking in spirit.

By today, a great fire in the palace disturbed his peace of mind.

Just a fire, even before his cultivation of immortality, he would not have paid it any mind. Why now did it frighten him?

He bowed deeply to Li Changzhou: "Thank you, Immortal Master, for your guidance, which I am deeply grateful for."

Li Changzhou took out a jade box.

"Your Majesty, inside the box are three Flat Peaches of three thousand years. To those who smell them, they can live three hundred years longer; consuming one can increase a thousand years of Dao cultivation."

Above the grand hall, the civil and military officials panted heavily, like a pack of beasts sighting prey.

In the adjacent hall, the concubines of the harem were even more agitated, like candles swaying in the wind, in constant commotion.

The Jiajing Emperor was also immensely excited, but being the Emperor, he remained sufficiently composed.

He accepted the jade box, saying, "If the Immortal Master has any requests, I will sincerely endeavor and mobilize the entire nation to assist!"

Li Changzhou laughed heartily.

"A cup of Tusu Wine is enough!"

He drank the wine cup dry.

"I am leaving now." With that, he transformed into light and disappeared.

"Immortal Master!" The Jiajing Emperor chased out of the grand hall, reaching midair.

The ministers followed closely behind.

The concubines of the harem disregarded etiquette and all ran out.

Yet they only saw the stream of light shooting into the sky, disappearing into the endless snow.
