"It just so happens that I closed myself off in the Great Void world using the reason of cultivating the Heaven Mending Divine Art. Now that I have a long time to cultivate, I'm afraid that when I leave this world, I will have enough time to cultivate the Heaven Mending Divine Art to the peak of the third level. This way, after I return to the Great Void Sect, I can cultivate the Heaven Mending Divine Art to the third layer in the shortest amount of time possible. " When he thought of this, the righteous emperor's frustration from the difficulty in improving his martial arts gradually calmed down.

He had always planned and planned many things in this world, all for the sake of allowing himself to live better and have more time to cultivate. After all, the grandmist universe travel wasn't something that could be used limitlessly. Without sufficient energy, it was impossible to carry one through. Thus, he had to seize every opportunity to travel through the world.

The current him was the Mizar of the Great Ming Dynasty, and was also the Mizar of the Myriad Empires. He held unparalleled power. No one in the world could kill him. He had already fulfilled the most basic of his requirements for coming to this world, and was still alive.

His own safety was no longer a threat. As long as the Great Ming Dynasty operated normally, he would be able to spend a large amount of time cultivating.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao started to bring out the memories that President Liu Mu had left in his mind and started to ponder about the cultivation of the Heaven Mending Divine Technique.

The Heaven Mending Divine Art was different from most of the cultivation methods in this world. In this world, the cultivation method was based on blood essence and divine treasure, while the Heaven Mending Divine Art opened up the divine origin energy treasure. The Blood God's Stash was to refine the Qi into the essence, nourishing the body with all living things in the world, thus cultivating the indestructible body. As for the cultivation of the origin energy treasure, it was to draw one's Qi into the body. On the road of qi refinement to become a god, one's own strength could draw upon the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use.

To an ordinary person, wanting to open up an origin energy treasure or a blood essence treasure was impossible without more than ten years of hard training. Even in this world where the highest under the heavens had broken through to the Xiantian realm before the age of 18, there weren't many who could open the Blood God's Stash.

Not even a single one of the three mysterious envoys, who had followed the Steel God Marquis Zhu for more than ten years, had managed to open the Blood God's Treasure Trove before the age of eighteen. Other than the elite core disciples of the eight sects, there was probably not a single other person in the martial world.

However, for others, for someone like Jiang Hao who had been bitterly cultivating in the Great Void World for more than ten years and had already opened the Blood Essence God's Stash and the Essence Spirit Stash, it was not a difficult task for him to reopen the God's Stash.

Of course, it was not that simple. After all, his foundation in this world was all martial arts, not the path of qi cultivation. It would still take a period of time before he could reconstruct the Divine Energy Repository. However, this was exactly what he wanted.

After seven years of business reform, the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty had doubled compared to the five years of reform. With money, the Ming Dynasty also began to pay more attention to the art of civil administration, opening schools in various prefectures and cultivating talents across the country. At the same time, the progress of commerce also promoted the progress of industry in turn, industry promoted the progress of agriculture, and everything in the Great Ming Dynasty seemed to be on the right track, developing towards prosperity and prosperity.

Inside the Forbidden City, the Righteous Emperor sat by the empress dowager's hand within the Palace of Tzu Ning with a vexed expression. Queen Mother, all these years, your son has been carrying out business reforms to promote the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty, dealing with the affairs of the country. I simply do not have the time to elect an imperial concubine.

The empress dowager gave a light snort. "Emperor, I naturally know about the development of the Ming Dynasty over the years. My son has done an outstanding job in the affairs of the nation, comparable to Taizu and Cheng Zu. He is my Great Ming's new master." But my son, although national affairs are important, it is also a big matter to continue being the son of the royal family. This Dowager originally thought that the reason was because of the empress and the others, but after asking around, she found out that the reason was because of you, my son. "

"Ever since my son became the emperor, there has been no need for me to speak any further about the previous few years. After that, when her son was enlightened, she would concentrate on governing. She was very pleased with the way things had been managed. But you can't just ignore the harem and leave the empress and imperial concubines in their own rooms. If you keep this up, I'm afraid you won't even be able to hold your grandson when you close your eyes. " The empress dowager was very depressed.

"Imperial Mother, this matter cannot be rushed. Your son is still in his prime, and Daming is also in the midst of development. Your son really cannot spare the time to manage the harem." The Righteous Emperor politely declined.

"Humph!" Since your son is unable to spare any time, let the empress and this one take care of it for you. " The empress dowager lightly clapped her hands, causing several eunuchs to walk in with a pile of paintings. The empress dowager waved her hand lightly and the eunuchs unfurled the scroll painting one by one, revealing the portraits of the court lady.

Her Majesty pointed to the portraits and said, "Look, my son, these portraits were chosen for you by the Queen Mother. Look at her, this is the third daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Look at her bright eyes and white teeth. And this is the daughter of Great General Wu. She's slender and elegant, as beautiful as a flower, causing me to feel tender affection for her as soon as I saw her …

The corners of the Righteous Emperor's mouth twitched as he watched the empress dowager introduce the women to him one by one. He then shook his head and said, "Imperial Mother, your son is now twenty-four or twenty-five. These women are all only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager didn't fly into a rage when she heard that. Instead, she smiled and said, "So this prince doesn't like people younger than me. Someone come!" "A new batch."

After the empress dowager finished speaking, the eunuchs below quickly put away the painting and opened up another pile. The women in these paintings were much older than the previous ones. What made the Righteous Emperor even more speechless was that he saw many women from other countries.

"Imperial Mother, how can there be women from other states!" The Righteous Emperor was puzzled.

The empress dowager's expression was stern. "The emperor doesn't like the empress and imperial concubines of the imperial harem. It's very possible that he's used to seeing girls of my age, so I've also collected portraits of princesses from other countries." Today, the fame of my dynasty has spread far and wide. I don't know how many princesses of different countries are willing to come to my marriage alliance. In the past, the Emperor had been able to suppress such matters due to his focus on the imperial government. But now, that is no longer possible. "

The Righteous Emperor laughed bitterly and said, "Mother is thinking too much. I was just too busy preparing for the Imperial Court and was not really …" Before the Righteous Emperor could finish his sentence, his gaze fell onto a portrait. Of course, he was not looking at the woman in the painting, but at the line written on the portrait.

The Righteous Emperor frowned. He pointed at the eunuch who opened the painting and said, "Come forward."

The empress dowager was naturally overjoyed to see the emperor finally find one amongst the numerous scrolls. "Hurry up and bring out the scroll so the emperor can examine it."

"Yes." The young eunuch replied and quickly walked forward, respectfully standing the portrait in front of the Righteous Emperor.

"My son, have you taken a liking to this person?" The empress dowager smiled from the side. "Don't worry, your son. The women in these paintings are all princesses of various countries or the sons of officials. "Although I am not sure about this Liu Sheng, he is one of the top three families in the East Ocean Continent. He has the right to enter the Palace."

The Righteous Emperor shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother is not only a top family in the East Ocean Continent, every direct descendant of her family is a well-trained person. It would be interesting for her to send a girl like that to us!"

"What?" The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat as her expression turned ugly. "Is what the emperor said true?"

Seeing the righteous emperor nod his head, the empress dowager's expression sank. The Dragon Mountain Villa's information system was renowned throughout the world, especially after the commercial reforms. With the full support of the richest people in the world, the information from all the countries would be sent over, and the emperor would definitely know much more than he did.

"The East Ocean Continent … the Liu Family … they actually wanted to send powerful martial arts cultivators to hide by their son's side. If she tried to harm their son … that would be too scary." Thinking up to here, the empress dowager felt a chill in her heart.

When the Righteous Emperor saw that the empress dowager was filled with anger, he quickly consoled her, "Imperial Mother, you don't have to worry about that. All women who want to enter the palace have to go through all sorts of palace selections.

"As for the harem, mother can also set your mind at ease. I will listen to your teachings, and in the future, I will take some time to head to the harem and fulfill your wish of becoming a grandson as soon as possible. As for the consort selection, don't mention it anymore, how about it?" The Righteous Emperor borrowed the empress dowager's feelings and hastened to speak.

"Since my son has said so, then so be it!" The empress dowager sighed. "This Dowager is a bit tired. I'll leave you to your work!"

"Alright, then mother will rest well and I will take my leave." When the Righteous Emperor saw this, he waved his hand to dismiss the eunuchs and then left the Palace.
