I Am Jiajing. Today, I Attain the True Monarch’s Dao

I am Jiajing. Today, I shall prove the Dao in the Forbidden City of the Great Ming and attain the state of Mugen Sanjiu He Yuanxing, ascending to the rank of True Lord Cangmu.

The foundations for sustaining life throughout the realm have now been laid. I can establish the Great Greenwood Formation, refine elixirs of longevity, develop supreme esoteric arts of creation, draw divine healing talismans, and pass down the spiritual registers of the Wood Dao, founding the Wood Profound lineage.

The earth’s veins now release the vitality of green shoots, which can nourish spirit plants, transform immortal beasts, and awaken the spirit within ordinary trees.

My Dao is destined to flourish. I shall prepare wondrous spells and boundless waters to ensure the Great Ming endures forever.

In the year 1560 of the Jiajing era, the Wan Shou Emperor, nearing sixty, transmigrated to the Purple Mansion Golden Core Qi Cultivation Dao.

He obtained a Boundless Altar, where he could offer spiritual objects in sacrifice to obtain Dao fruits. He could even open a passage between two worlds and travel freely between the Great Ming and the Qi Cultivation Dao.

To seek immortality,

the great Emperor decided to use the strength of the whole nation to prove the Golden Core Dao. He set several key goals.

[Transform Rice into Spirit Crops] Use the strength of the whole nation to grow spirit rice.

[Spiritual Qi Revival] Cultivate immortality as a nation and raise up the Great Ming.

[Transform Heaven and Earth] Reshape the continents, revive the Heavenly Dao, and create new divine offices!

But first, Zhu Houcong had to figure out how to get one more piece of meat in the Qi Cultivation Dao, because the Emperor was nearly starving to death.
