Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty: Is My Fourth Son a Cultivator?

After he transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxi carries a mysterious Taoist temple with him. When his memories awaken at age ten, he retreats to the outskirts of the city and devotes himself to cultivating immortality. He grows spirit rice and refines divine pills, even feeding his watchdog, a big yellow dog, until it becomes a demon king. In the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxi successfully establishes his foundation and flies through the sky on a sword. When his father, Zhu Dahu, comes to visit, Zhu Gaoxi says with a solemn expression, "Dad, the truth is out. I'm an immortal cultivator. Let's rebel! You can become an emperor too!" Looking at this "filial son," Zhu Di is on the verge of a breakdown. "You unfilial brat! I am Zhu Di! Who are you rebelling against?!" Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, Zhu Gaoxi is welcomed back to Nanjing, and everything takes a bizarre turn. He is given the title "Guardian Immortal of the Nation," while even his big yellow dog is named "Divine Hound Who Protects the Nation." The dog is ranked First Class, receives a court stipend, and all the officials have to address it respectfully as "Lord Dog"! But this is only the beginning. Zhu Gaoxi leads the Ming Dynasty on a wild sprint forward: The Divine Engine Battalion gets spirit-stone cannons, every member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard flies on a sword, and treasure ships are transformed into spirit vessels that blot out the sky! In this age of spiritual qi revival, the Ming dragon banner flies across the globe, establishing an unrivaled immortal dynasty. Zhu Di laughs aloud. "Who says the Ming Dynasty is destined to last only three hundred years? My Ming is an immortal celestial court!"
