Great Ming: The Imperial Grandson Secretly Cultivates Immortality, and Old Zhu Is Stunned

After transmigrating to the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao, the crown prince, dies of illness.

Zhu Jing, Zhu Biao's son, is the least noticeable of his children, an invisible presence in the palace.

Fortunately, he awakens the [Daily Dimensional Supremacy System], which lets him gain one cultivation superpower each day!

[Acquired Sword Flight]: Roam the Northern Sea at dawn and Mount Cangwu by dusk!

[Acquired Divine Alchemy]: Refine longevity pills with ease. Even a dog that eats one will live a thousand years longer after five years!

With such incredible power, Zhu Jing decides to lie low and live like a lazy fish, quietly pursuing immortality. Anyone who tries for the throne must be a fool.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, consumed by grief, unexpectedly gains the ability to hear Zhu Jing's thoughts!

At court, Old Zhu is fretting over the empty imperial treasury.

Zhu Jing looks respectful, but inwardly scoffs: [What's there to fret about? I got the power to turn stone into gold yesterday. Even the bricks in my courtyard have turned to gold, and they're just getting in the way.]

Old Zhu: ???

The border passes are under threat, and Old Zhu is desperately searching for a capable general.

Zhu Jing sighs to himself: [Oh dear, I have nowhere to put the three thousand heavenly soldiers I summoned with beans yesterday. Maybe I should take them beyond the frontier for a stroll?]

Old Zhu is stunned!

Here I am, working myself to the bone for the Ming Dynasty, while you cultivate immortality? You won't help out?

Not installed yet!

Zhu Yuanzhang slaps the dragon throne. "Issue an edict! The imperial grandson Zhu Jing is exceptionally gifted. Effective immediately, appoint him crown prince! If he won't ascend the throne, break his legs!"

Zhu Jing: "Grandpa, I really don't want to be emperor!"
