Time flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. During the past year, Da Ming continued to carry out his business reforms with great vigor, although due to the passing of the resignations ignored by the Godly General Zhu, some changes had occurred in the business reform. However, with the personal intervention of the Righteous Emperor, the commercial reform was once again set back on track. However, the speed of the reform had slowed down by quite a bit.

On the other hand, because of the doyens of the Steel Courage Divine Marquis, the Dragon Mountain Villa also began to disintegrate. Rather than calling it a disintegration, it would be more accurate to say that the Dragon Mountain Villa was once again under the control of the Righteous Emperor. Whether it was the intelligence network that was searching for information, the Six Fans Gate that was in charge of managing the cases, or the number one village in the world, from beginning to end, the powers that protected the Dragon Villa were all completely accepted by the emperor.

At this point, no one knew how strong the power under the Righteous Emperor was. After all, the Dragon Guardian Villa was the strongest organization in the Ming Dynasty. The number one sect in the world, Six Fans Gate, and so on were distributed just like the east factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Now that these powers had returned to the hands of the Righteous Emperor, his control over the entire imperial court had reached a new peak.

At this moment, even Cao Zhengshun, the head of the eunuchs and the man in charge of the east yard and the Imperial Secret Service, was terrified of the emperor. He was afraid that if anything went wrong, he would be exterminated by the Righteous Emperor.

Cao Zhengshu had also planned to go home to the Righteous Emperor, but the Righteous Emperor had forbidden him to do so. Instead, he had allowed him to manage the East Manor and the Embroidered Uniform Guard properly. At first he did not understand what the Righteous Emperor meant, but soon he did. Although the imperial government was in control of the world in an upright manner, it also needed someone to deal with matters that could not be dealt with openly. And Cao Zheng Chun was the emperor's secret saber.

Upon learning of this situation, Cao Zhengshun heaved a sigh of relief. The current him was still useful to the emperor. This meant that the emperor didn't have any intention of killing him. As long as he showed some value, the emperor would definitely not take his life.

As for rebelling against the emperor, Cao Zhengshu had thought about it. However, after unintentionally discovering that the emperor was actually a Grandmaster, his thoughts had been completely dispelled.

The Righteous Emperor was actually an expert at the level of a Grandmaster. This kind of thing was enough to make Cao Zhengshu feel cold in his heart. He had painstakingly cultivated the Heavenly Dipper Sword for more than fifty years, so he was merely at the level of a great grandmaster. The Righteous Emperor had already possessed such strength when he was only around twenty years old, and even if he wanted to seize the heavens so that the nobles wouldn't have the ability to do so, then there was no need to resist the Righteous Emperor.

The forces that protected Dragon Villa had returned to the righteous emperor's side. The eastern factory and the Imperial Secret Service under Cao Zhengshun had been retracted, and the civil and military officials in the imperial court had been replaced by the righteous emperor. For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty was filled with talented people. In addition to the business reform that helped promote the progress of industry, the Ming Dynasty was flourishing. It was moving towards the bustling era of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Faced with the clarity of the imperial court and the prosperity of the world, the Righteous Emperor once again initiated a new change, which was to raise the salary of the officials.

The emperor had once told a hundred officials that the imperial court was bright and prosperous. There were many talents in the Ming Dynasty and the national treasury was filled. The economy of every prefecture was improving rapidly. And in the imperial court, a hundred officials were responsible for the management of the imperial government and the organization of the world, so it was only right for them to reward the court. Therefore, the salaries of the officials were greatly increased, allowing them to be more energetic and enterprising, and to work even harder for progress.

Five years after the Great Ming Dynasty's commercial reform, the current Great Ming Dynasty was basically like heaven and earth compared to the Great Ming Dynasty five years ago. Five years ago, there were still a large number of beggars and poor people throughout the Great Ming Dynasty. However, even though there were many poor people in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few beggars. Even the Beggar Gang was lamenting that the Beggar Gang was going to end soon, and other sects would mock them for doing so.

Within the palace, at the Heartrest Palace. The place where Gu San Tong used to support his family was now the secluded room of the Righteous Emperor.

A year ago, the Great Ming Dynasty's business reform was truly perfect. After it was spread throughout the entire country, the Righteous Emperor had actually calmed down. He was a king. What he needed to do was not to bow to his relatives, but to learn how to control the situation and the way forward. Ever since he had taken over the power of the Dragon Mountain Villa and the rise and fall of Cao Zhengshun's Eastern factory and Imperial Secret Service, the entire Ming Dynasty could be said to be true.

But after this step, he had taken control of the world, and even had the four great nations come to pay their respects, his desire for power had actually become much weaker. In other words, the power in this world no longer piqued his interest. On the contrary, it was cultivation that piqued his interest.

He did not forget that his true identity was someone from the Great Void Sect and that he came to this world using the grandmist Great Thousand Mirror. In the Great Void World, he had at most half a year to go to the Heaven Mending Holy Land, and according to the grandmist Greater Thousand Mirror's adjustment of the flow of time, he could at most stay in this world for 180 years.

One hundred and eighty years of time was more than enough for him to do many things. For example, he had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm in terms of martial arts. One must know that the Grandmaster Realm corresponded to the third stage of the Great Void Sect, while the Grandmaster Realm corresponded to the fourth stage.

"Right now, I have just become a Grandmaster. Moreover, in the Upper Sky and Grandmaster Realm, I relied on the Zhen Qi passed to me by Gu San Tong. When I had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, I already felt the enormous difficulty." However, my realm is indeed too weak, and the speed of progress is also very slow. If I want to cultivate to the peak of Great Grandmaster, to reach the level of Royal Uncle, I am afraid that it is not possible to cultivate for more than twenty years. " Thinking of this, the Righteous Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, in order to protect himself, he had exchanged Gu San Tong for his true qi, but it was just as he had expected. With the help of Gu San Tong's zhen qi, he had directly crossed the threshold of breaking through to the Xiantian realm and the Zongshi realm, but his own breakthrough had been achieved with the help of someone else's strength. The foundation for his cultivation was very shallow, and he couldn't even integrate his strength completely.

"Should I cripple my martial arts and start cultivating again?" The Righteous Emperor couldn't help but have such a thought. With his current situation, wanting to continuously improve himself in the Grandmaster Realm, cripple his martial arts and cultivate again was his only way out. Because his foundation was shallow, it was already difficult for him to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. It was almost impossible for him to become a Grandmaster.

"However, it is not appropriate to cripple my martial arts." The Righteous Emperor frowned. It was true that the imperial court was bright and the people were bright and prosperous, but the biggest reason was because he was an emperor who could suppress the world and control all the forces in the world.

It would be a long time before he could manage the imperial government. However, the Great Ming Hall had not really gotten on the right track, and once he let go, the chaos in the palace would be small. Even the Great Ming Empire might collapse because of this, which would not be good.

He was the emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, and he could use the various resources of the Ming Dynasty. This was the reason why he was able to successfully break through to the Grandmaster Realm in just a year after receiving Gu San Tong's true qi. If he didn't have the support of the many spiritual medicines and heavenly and earthly treasures of the Ming Dynasty, how could he have done it?

"I can't cripple my martial arts. I can't cripple it for at least ten years." "Ten years later, the Great Ming Dynasty will probably be run by me like an iron bucket. At that time, even if I can close up and ignore the government, there won't be much of a problem." The Righteous Emperor secretly decided that ten years later, he would cripple his martial arts and start over. Only then would he have a chance to lay a solid foundation for his cultivation. Only then would he have a glimpse at the mysterious realm of the Unparalleled Grandmasters.

"However, I can't afford to be idle for the next ten years." The Righteous Emperor muttered to himself. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and stood up. "That's right!" "In the Great Void World, a martial art is called the Blood God's Stash, but in the Great Void World, there is more than one martial art."

"Heaven Mending Divine Art." The Heaven Mending Divine Art was a cultivation technique used by the Great Void World's Heaven Mending Divine Land. Although no one had successfully cultivated it since ancient times, it was still the only cultivation technique used by all the disciples of the Heaven Mending Divine Land to build their foundation. More importantly, the cultivation technique did not rely on the blood essence, but rather the primordial energy.

In other words, this cultivation technique was not about martial arts, but Qi Cultivation.
