The time point here is the late Ming Dynasty, a mythical version of the late Ming Dynasty. There are immortals who live forever and strong men who fly to the sky with swords.
And Chu Ming’s identity is Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
At this time, Li Zicheng's army had already entered the capital, and Chu Ming himself went up to Meishan, intending to hang himself from the crooked neck tree on Meishan.
Beside him was only an eunuch named Wang Chengen.
The majestic emperor has now fallen into this situation, and he has to sigh about the fickleness of fortune.
What appeared in front of Chu Ming's eyes was a crooked-necked tree, with two nooses already hung on the tree.
"Long live my lord, the noose is ready!"
In front of Chu Ming, an old eunuch lay on the ground and said, his words full of sadness.
Chu Ming could tell at a glance that this eunuch named Wang Chengen had a lot of internal strength. If he were placed in the martial arts world, he would be a powerful person.
After all, he was a eunuch qualified to serve the emperor. How could he be an ordinary person in this mythical version of the Ming Dynasty?
If placed in a world without immortals and gods, Wang Chengen's martial arts alone would be enough to lead Chongzhen out of the capital.
It's a pity that this is the Immortal Ming Dynasty, where there are immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, and strong people who cultivate their souls and survive three disasters to live forever!
Although Wang Chengen's martial arts is not bad, in the end he has not been able to cultivate the soul and is just a mortal.
And now, Chu Ming had sensed that there were several powerful auras peeping in the dark, waiting for him, the last emperor, to hang himself.
Through Chongzhen's memory, he knew that these breaths were from Li Zicheng's masters, strong men who had trained the soul, and two ordinary people, there was no other way to go except to hang themselves.
Every time at the end of a dynasty, when dynasties change, there are always strong men from all walks of life, either to fish in troubled waters or to accumulate merit, and choose to obey the destiny and enter the rolling world to hone their skills.
Although the original Chongzhen also practiced martial arts and practiced the magical skills passed down by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Mingshen Martial Arts Code, he was only the last emperor and was not qualified to follow the path of the emperor. In addition, his own cultivation qualifications were not good, and his martial arts skills were not good.
It's just mediocre, let alone condensing the soul, even the meridians around the body are not connected.
But Li Zicheng, who conquered the capital, somehow obtained the magical power from ancient times, the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, which used human dragon energy to condense the emperor's soul. Now he has survived two heavenly tribulations and is already a first-level Sanxian.
The emperor's soul is different from the soul that orthodox practitioners cultivate day and night, breathing in and out of energy, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. The foundation of the emperor's soul is dragon energy. The more dragon energy, the higher the cultivation level.
For orthodox practitioners who want to cultivate the soul, survive three tribulations, or even ascend to the heavens, they must practice hard for hundreds and thousands of years, and must have perfect internal and external merits before they can ascend to the heavens and achieve the path of immortality.
However, the imperial soul cultivated in the way of the emperor uses the human dragon energy to replace the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. It does not require the effort of water grinding. One day of practice is equivalent to the efforts of ordinary practitioners in months and years.
Like Li Zicheng, he was just an ordinary person five years ago, but since he rose up, in just five years, he has become a loose immortal of the second calamity, with amazing fighting power. Except for those few who have survived the third calamity,
Apart from the earthly immortals who have perfected their external skills and ascended to heaven, there are not many opponents in the world.
However, balance exists among all things, and the emperor's path is so fast, the price is also staggering. Since ancient times, emperors have not lived forever. Even if they have survived three heavenly tribulations, as long as they do not fly to the sky and achieve the path of immortality, they can live for at most a hundred years.
And since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one in the world has used human dragon energy to achieve immortality. Even the First Emperor, who swept through the world thousands of years ago with amazing talents, was unable to defy heaven and finally died in the sand dunes.
In the Ming Court, it is not that there are no strong men. There were also masters of Yuan Shen who came to practice in the world and assisted the country, but in the end they could not resist the movement of heaven.
But now, Li Zicheng, the successor of Tianmo, has entered Beijing, and Chongzhen has also gone to Meishan.
Many auras were peeping in the darkness, and Chu Ming was in a dangerous situation, but he didn't care. Instead, he turned his attention to the Mingshen Martial Arts Code in his memory.
Mingshen Wudian originated from Mingjiao. The word "ming" means the combination of the sun and the moon. Therefore, the martial arts of Mingshen Wudian is also formed by the fusion of the completely opposite powers of the sun and the moon, which are all yin and all yang.
The foundation of the Mingshen Martial Arts Code lies in the sun and the moon, the changes of the sun and the moon, and the changes of yin and yang. The combination of the sun and the moon is the brightness, and the sun and the moon are the changes. It is wonderful and extraordinary. And the leader of the Mingjiao of each generation has based on the mystery of the changes of the sun and the moon.
The Myojin martial arts canon created is also completely different.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born with Taoist body and Taoist heart, and his talent was extraordinary. Later, he rose up and followed the path of the emperor. He used the human dragon energy to create the sun and moon soul, and he became even more powerful and tyrannical.
In just a short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang overcame three calamities and achieved the earthly immortal fruit. After that, he swept across the world and created a lasting legacy.
In Chu Ming's view, Mingshen Martial Arts is an extremely profound martial arts, involving subtle changes in Shinto. The most important thing is that it points out the way forward for Chu Ming's Shinto practice.
There are many ways to open the divine treasure, and they are not limited to the situation. You can rely on the excitement of battle to maximize your potential, or you can break away from the shackles by constantly understanding the mysteries of various avenues.
The so-called martial arts are the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors' understanding of the great road. There is not only a way, a method, but also a way!
"Do you want to spend 328 source points to increase your understanding of the Mingshen Martial Arts to level 100?!"
As Chu Ming's mind changed, the words Mingshen Martial Arts Level 7 suddenly appeared on the system panel. When Chu Ming placed his thoughts on the plus sign behind the Mingshen Martial Arts Code, this message popped up.
"Sure enough!"
Chu Ming thought.
This was what Chu Ming had in mind, and the system actually changed according to his thoughts.
In the past, the systematic improvement of martial arts was not just a matter of incidental understanding, but also the transformation of Chu Ming himself.
In the beginning, Chu Ming was just a blank slate, and he naturally allowed himself to be modified by the system panel. But now that his own foundation has been established, he turned to other fundamental methods. In a sense, he was abandoning the basics and chasing the last. For Chu Ming, he understood the great ways of heaven and earth.
The true meaning is to use it to tap the hidden potential of God.
But now, Chu Ming has divided the point-adding function of the system, discarding the transformation part, and only retains the purest understanding of the skills.
What Chu Ming needs now is not the Sun and Moon Yuanshen cultivated by Mingshen Martial Arts. If the Sun and Moon Yuanshen wants to achieve greatness, he must need a large number of source points to convert mana.
Cultivation itself is a water mill. Theoretically speaking, only 500 years of mana is qualified to cause wind catastrophe, 1,000 years of mana is qualified to cause fire catastrophe, and 1,500 years of mana is qualified to cause thunder catastrophe.
Chu Ming's path is different from that of this world. All he wants is the mystery of the Shinto and the mysteries of the Tao to tap into the hidden potential of the gods. The Dragon Elephant Scripture is his foundation, and the rest are all firewood.
