The Jiajing Emperor simply couldn't tolerate the feeling of his life and death being out of his control. Even if an altar was built, it still required devout sacrifices...it was still relying on external forces.

Thus, he wanted to cultivate with Tao Zhongwen and hoped to quickly master cultivation methods. However, Tao Zhongwen bluntly stated that the Jiajing Emperor didn't have the talent and that forcing cultivation would only allow him to reach the Supernatural Realm (神通境) in this life.

The Jiajing Emperor then went down the wrong path. He begged and threatened, finally obtaining a pill formula. It used Qiushi made from boys' urine, Hongqian made from palace maids' menstrual blood, and cinnabar... This kind of elixir was not orthodox external alchemy.

This event caused the famous Renyin Palace Incident. The palace maids rebelled and almost strangled the Jiajing Emperor in the middle of the night. Afterwards, sixteen palace maids were executed by slow slicing, two concubines were put to death, and Empress Fang was burned to death in a bizarre fire.

"........"

"However, in the end, the elixir was successfully made. Thus, he shed his mortal body and finally developed immortal bones. The Jiajing Emperor finally got his wish. There are many details involved that cannot be told to outsiders."

"Finally, it is said that before the Jiajing Emperor's *shijie* (corpse liberation), he went to the Dongyue Temple for the last time. That was thirty-one years ago, but what he saw was not the Dongyue Temple's plaque, but 'Jingling Palace'........ Jingling Palace was originally a sacrificial palace used to serve the 'Song Sacred Ancestor' during the Song Dynasty."

"Furthermore, an important and strange thing was discovered. The operating principle of Tao Zhongwen's Divine Firmament Altar technique was actually somewhat similar to the sealing technique in the Dongyue Temple... In the past, the Jiajing Emperor's cultivation was still shallow and he couldn't see the mysteries, but later, when he achieved some success, he understood."

"Even now, this curse is still wandering in the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace, in the Forbidden City. As for what exactly is under the Dongyue Temple, no one still knows."

Old Man Lei Xuan's story stopped here. Liu Mengyin quickly asked, "You said the Jiajing Emperor didn't die, but achieved *shijie*?"

"That's right, *shijie*. In the Daoist school, there is a method of transformation called the Taiyin Refinement Technique."

"The *Jiudu Longzhen Jing* says: Those below immortals must first die, refine their corpses in the Taiyin, pass through the Earth Gate, and then they can achieve *shijie*."

"Although cultivators attain the Dao, they have too many sins before cultivation. After attaining the Dao, they cannot immediately transform. This still requires a process, which is to shed one's mortal body and exchange one's bones. Perhaps it will take a year, two years, ten years, or even more to complete the transformation."

"How could someone like the Jiajing Emperor, who has an extremely strong desire for control, allow someone to sit on his head and control his life and death? Of course he wanted to live forever."

"He wants to be an emperor in the *biao shanhe*, and now become an immortal. In that Earth Immortal Realm, in the *li shanhe*, he also wants to be revered as an ancestor, to be that 'Holy and Unprecedented Lord'!"

"The Jiajing Emperor is the greatest miser in the world. The mountains and rivers are just his playthings, and so are you, and so am I."

Old Man Lei Xuan walked to the door, opened it, and looked at the high sky. In his eyes, the national prestige that permeated Shuntian had a big hole. Above this hole was Zhutian.

The Taiyin Calamity Fire had burned a hole in the national prestige. This little girl was also foolish, thinking she had obtained a great opportunity, but little did she know it was deliberately given to her.

Letting the Fire Lord (火君) enter the Forbidden City, even allowing the Taiyin Calamity Fire to burn a hole in the sky, was just for fishing.

Old Man Lei Xuan was also known as the Tianchi Fisherman (天池钓叟), the most awesome fisherman who never came back empty-handed, and never reeled in his line early. A long line is needed to catch big fish.

Of course, the Jiajing Emperor was very unhappy that the Yellow Heaven Sect he himself had propagated had been distorted in its teachings.

In the past, he vigorously promoted the Yellow Heaven Sect, spreading its teachings and collecting a large amount of volition. The destination of the volition generated by all things and all gods under the Zhutian of the Ming Dynasty was ultimately to worship him alone, all under the Zhutian, without exception.

But since the Yellow Heaven Sect has been polluted and its teachings have been changed, it is time to correct it. It is not yet time for them to perish, and the little girl, the Fire Lord, must also be warned.

Don't always think about getting opportunities for free. What you get for free is the most expensive. How much you eat today, you will have to pay back in the future.

Don't be so naive and innocent, like her father, who went to "save the common people" as soon as he got some spells.

As for Wanli, this kid is really lucky. He just had his ass burned, and now he's going to have ghosts and gods demanding his life.

Take your time, line up, you'll all get what you deserve.

That silly child, Longqing, moved away all the things I left behind. Well, he thought the Zhenwu statue was just a fire-fighting facility, saw it was useless, just moved it away. It was already giving me face that he didn't sell the statue as junk.

But without that statue, another hole was broken in the sky. All the points that should have been stepped on have been stepped on, and the curse of the two dragons not meeting has been reversed for so many years. They must have some doubts. Now it's good, the things under the Dongyue Temple have finally come out.

If you want to clean the house, how can you do a thorough cleaning without getting all these messy things out?

Of course, it doesn't matter whether this kid Wanli lives or dies. A new dragon will replace the old dragon when it dies.

Liu Mengyin looked at the back of Old Man Lei Xuan, his expression suspicious. He was about to ask what *biao li shanhe* was, but Old Man Lei Xuan tapped his fingers twice along the wall, just like last time. The next moment, Liu Mengyin suddenly fainted to the ground, unconscious.

"I have also accepted your volition. Have a good sleep. I'm waiting for you to publish a book. Books are stories that gather the volition of all living beings. They themselves can create illusions. For Jiajing, they are a great tonic and the cornerstone of the existence of the gods."

"But most people are unwilling to spend half their lives writing about gods and ghosts. There are Four Books and Five Classics everywhere, but they are useless to Jiajing... Many years ago, Jiajing met someone, but did not obtain his manuscript, which is a pity."

Lei Xuan said a sentence to the unconscious Liu Mengyin, and then muttered to himself:

"Tao Zhongwen said 'the two dragons will not meet', and if they do, one of them will die. I have finally seen the root of this curse. At this point, as one of the eighty-four thousand yang god thoughts, my task will also be completed."

"Taiyin Calamity Fire, it really has something to do with you. This is something that appeared during the Southern Dynasties, during the transition between the Song and Qi dynasties. It should have disappeared long ago. No wonder the teachings of the Yellow Heaven Sect are so chaotic and have become like this."

"Yuandun was originally the creation of something from nothing, the Dao of the Danyang Immortal, but now it has become the meaning of liberation from reincarnation, going towards death."

"Although I don't know what you are, or why you want to reverse the formation and reach the Yang world from Yuandun, it won't be a good thing. The Ming Dynasty is Jiajing's plaything, and the *li shanhe* will be the same sooner or later. You things that don't know where you popped out from, you also want to compete with Jiajing for this world?"

"That little girl got this Taiyin Calamity Fire from somewhere in the *li shanhe*. It was you things that guided her to find it, right..."

"Jingling Palace, this name should have been submerged in the dust of history long ago. Let me see, what exactly are you? This doubt that has plagued Jiajing for sixty-four years is about to be resolved."
