"The old emperor said, you old ghost, you ruined his great undertaking, forged a feud with him, and destroyed his Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. He has taken note of this, and don't think he has no way to deal with you, don't think he can't find you."

"He has already bestowed a blessing upon you, that you will 'Serve eternally as an attendant of the Heavenly Venerable, forever freed from reincarnation,' and he has also prepared a great gift for you!"

Ji Xiang burst out laughing.

When he needs something, he calls you "Senior Brother," but when you ruin his plans, you're just an "old ghost."

Makes sense; if it were me, I'd curse the same way.

"Emperor Jiajing is truly a man of character. Very well, I understand."

To serve eternally as an attendant of the Heavenly Venerable, forever freed from reincarnation—this was originally a blessing in Taoism, but now that Emperor Jiajing had uttered it in extreme anger, it was probably transformed into some kind of curse. He didn't tell me the trigger conditions, probably because Emperor Jiajing had learned to be clever.

Explaining my abilities would only lead to a quick death.

By not telling me the full situation, but just saying a random sentence, he was probing me through the Fox Dragon, wanting to know if the explosion of the Leixuan Grand Elixir last time was caused by my hidden move, and also guessing what my abilities were.

"My ability is to read walkthroughs."

"Besides, it was you, you old emperor, who didn't play fair first, and now you're blaming me."

The Fox Dragon, upon hearing Ji Xiang's "praise," couldn't help but look strange, but he didn't mind. He then spoke the second sentence, the one that Emperor Jiajing wanted to tell Emperor Wanli.

Although Jiajing didn't care about Wanli's life or death, and was extremely selfish, having long abandoned such things as familial affection, Wanli was, after all, the supreme authority of the Great Ming, the emperor of the dynasty.

Jiajing had somehow learned about the people from the Reverse Mountain and River harassing Wanli in the middle of the night, trying to recruit Wanli as a lackey.

Although Emperor Jiajing was still being hunted down in the Reverse Mountain and River, a master at the peak of Pure Yang, a figure half a step away from ascension, was definitely not to be trifled with.

Therefore, the message that Emperor Jiajing brought to Emperor Wanli was not to support Wanli, but to warn him!

The Fox Dragon said, "The old Emperor Jiajing told me to tell you that if you don't want to be killed by him, and have your soul scattered in a miserable death, you'd better not accept any recruitment from anyone in the Reverse Mountain and River. Otherwise, in the end, you will definitely be annihilated, body and soul!"

"He will refine you alive into a pill!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wanli immediately drew his sword!

This dog of a grandfather was meddling in his affairs!

"I am now the Emperor of the Great Ming! The Emperor of the Great Ming is not him, it's me! He wants to kill me?"

Ji Xiang comforted him, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. The people from the Reverse Mountain and River cannot come to the Visible Mountain and River. At most, their will can come over, or they can display one or two forms. You don't need to worry too much."

"Am I worried? I'm not worried at all. With my sword in hand, what do I have to fear!"

Emperor Wanli immediately stated that a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. Now that he had swapped out his musket for a cannon, he would chop down even his grandfather!

Did he want to test whether his sword was sharp?

Forget about grandfatherly love and filial piety!

In the imperial family, where would there be normal human relations and affection!

"I can do whatever I want, it's not his place to lecture me. If he dares to come back next time, I'll chop him down too."

You white-haired old fool, you old graybeard! I will surely send you to the Nine Springs, and then see what face you have to meet the twelve previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, Emperor Wanli suddenly understood why Emperor Longqing had immediately moved all of Emperor Jiajing's utensils away, throwing them into the trash pit or warehouse, as soon as Emperor Jiajing died.

Who wouldn't be afraid of having such a mad dog of a grandfather?

Emperor Wanli suddenly didn't blame his father anymore, and even felt sorry for his father's childhood!

After conveying the two sentences, the Fox Dragon's aura also stabilized. Emperor Wanli directly stepped forward with his sword, rarely displaying the majesty of an emperor in front of gods and ghosts!

"Fox Dragon, are you a chess piece left behind by Emperor Jiajing?"

In his rage, Wanli no longer referred to Jiajing as Shizong, directly calling him by his regnal year.

The Fox Dragon was terrified at this moment, expressing shame, and Ji Xiang helped him out of the situation, asking the Fox Dragon to write down Emperor Jiajing's scriptures.

"Write?"

"That's right, it's better not to say it."

Ji Xiang explained, "Words have power, and speaking creates omens, every thought stirring up the ten directions of gods and devils."

"If the spoken words involve the titles of certain high-level people, gods, or immortals, they may attract prying eyes."

"But written words, as long as they are not burned with incense, not sacrificed to, not infused with wishes for public circulation, will not cause any problems."

"Moreover, when writing, use ordinary black ink, not special liquids such as blood or cinnabar."

The Fox Dragon did as he was told. The Northern Garrison Commander brought him paper and pen, and after he finished writing, Ji Xiang realized that this scripture was something he had never seen before.

This was probably the scripture that Emperor Jiajing had written himself back then, used to gather wishes...

But at this time, Emperor Wanli recognized it and was greatly surprised, "This, this article, why does it seem so much like the Yellow Heaven Teachings' *Taiyin Shengguang Puzhao Liaoyi Baojuan* (Precious Scroll of the Moon's Illumination of Universal Meaning)?!"

"I have reviewed the affairs of the Yellow Heaven Teachings before, and read a few fragments, which contained these paragraphs! But the rest is different!"

Instantly, Emperor Wanli seemed to understand something and was furious!

"The Yellow Heaven Teachings, so it was originally something passed down by Emperor Jiajing!"

"Fire Lord, could he be his great-grand disciple!"

"This old grandfather wants to harm the Great Ming. What exactly is he trying to do? He almost killed me... Forget it! He doesn't care if I live or die."

"Then, the curse that Liu Mengyin confessed to, that the old man Leixuan spoke of, since Emperor Jiajing doesn't care about the lives of his descendants at all, why did he have to use the method of progeny to create descendants who could live?"

"Is it to extend the national fortune of the Great Ming? So I am just a tool?"

Emperor Wanli angrily drew his sword. As soon as the Jingzhen Sword came out, with just a flash of cold light, the Fox Dragon immediately felt that almost all the blood, tendons, and bones in his body were cut off, and he was horrified. He barely retreated backward. Emperor Wanli held the sword diagonally in front of him, his face full of hatred, his face red and his neck thick!

He was the Emperor of the Great Ming, the master of this world of sun and moon!

But in the end, he was implicitly hinted by the previous emperor that he was just a tool for inheriting the national fortune, whether he was a wise ruler or a foolish ruler didn't matter, or rather... a foolish ruler was even better!

The ambition in his heart rose, and he was bound to give his old grandfather a taste of his own medicine. The emperor of the Visible Mountain and River was not someone to be trifled with!

"Fox Dragon! I ask you, are you going to obey me, or obey Emperor Jiajing!"

"Neither I nor Jiajing are descendants of Emperor Zhengde. Choose one of us two to be loyal to today! I will personally bestow godhood upon you! Help you transform into a dragon!"

Emperor Wanli held the Jingzhen Sword. Although he said it was a choice, in fact, if the Fox Dragon dared to say no, Emperor Wanli would immediately swing his sword and kill the Fox Dragon!

At this moment, Emperor Wanli seemed to have transformed a lot, no longer the dazed emperor who was previously saying "What happened?", "It's me again?", "Will this ever end?". Now, he seemed to have found the motivation to fight!

For the rise of the Great Ming, to write books, to slay demons, and to become a generation of sage rulers!
