286: Zhu Zhenxiang

Prince Zhao was stunned, never expecting that those three major countries had long implemented this method, while his own side was completely unaware. No wonder even Long Yuan was saying his intelligence gathering capabilities were too weak; this could no longer be described as weak, but rather almost non-existent!

Long Yuan continued, "Actually, I am still suspecting that the reason those three countries were able to produce Martial King level powerhouses is very likely related to this Rebirth method. Those three Martial King powerhouses very likely improved their strength through such a process of Rebirth again and again, until they broke through the shackles of Martial Commander and reached the Realm of Martial King!"

"That makes sense!!!" Prince Zhao suddenly realized, nodding in agreement.

"Of course, besides this Rebirth method, their research in genetic potions has also taken great strides ahead of the Great Ming Empire. Their genetic potions can even allow ordinary people to possess the talent of a Xuan Practitioner, achieving a counterattack in life! With such genetic potions, the Xuan Practitioners of these countries can be described as endless, and their strength is constantly expanding. Therefore, why did War Bear Country dare to brazenly launch an invasion against our Great Ming Empire? The reason lies in the fact that their strength has greatly increased, and their ambition has naturally grown along with it..." Long Yuan said.

"So that's it!" Prince Zhao had another moment of realization, feeling that after hearing Long Yuan's words today, he had suddenly unlocked the answers to many questions.

"Uncle Zhao, time is of the essence, so I won't say much more. Hurry into the palace and reveal this information to the Emperor Ming. At the same time, have the Emperor Ming provide three drops of blood, plus a piece of skin and flesh, a segment of nail, and a lock of hair. After keeping them frozen, send someone to deliver them specifically to me in Southern Yue as fast as possible! Of course, it must be kept secret; you cannot let anyone else know about this! Otherwise, it will be a risk to you, to me, and to the Emperor Ming!" Long Yuan said.

"Good! I will set off immediately!!!" Prince Zhao said solemnly.

"You can ask me any questions at any time!" Long Yuan emphasized.

"Understood!"

Prince Zhao acknowledged, put away his phone, and looked at Prince Dai, discovering that he was still in a state of shock. He smiled slightly, suddenly made a move to seal his Xuan meridians, and said with a smile, "Sorry, Twenty-Six, you might have to stay at my Tiangong Group for a while..."

"Ah?! You?! What are you doing?!" Prince Dai finally reacted and shouted.

"Nothing much, just letting you stay here for a while. This is also for your own good; if you were to leak this secret, I'm afraid we would all be finished!" Prince Zhao smiled.

"No! Don't! I still want to listen to music, I still want to go to the bar, and there are so many women waiting for me to grace them with my presence..." Prince Dai wailed.

"Pull yourself together! What time is it, and you're still thinking about these things! Be careful, or a Spirit Beast might come to deal with you tomorrow!"

"Ah?!!!" Prince Dai shrieked, cold sweat immediately breaking out, and he finally sobered up.

"What you just heard must absolutely not be told to a second person. Can you do that?" Prince Zhao asked emphatically.

Prince Dai's expression turned serious, and he snorted, "I've lived for so long, after all. Although I have always been idle, how could I not understand this principle? Even if you asked me to say it now, I wouldn't dare say a word to the outside! I don't want this fine head of mine to be moved in a few days! However..."

"However what?"

"Do you know why Long Yuan wants those things from the Emperor Ming? What is he going to do? Also, if he can help the Emperor Ming replace his body, can he also help me replace mine?" Prince Dai asked with a fawning face.

"You?! Hmm, what you said is not bad. I will help you ask him this question. If it is possible, then of course I will help you change it too. Are you satisfied now?" Prince Zhao said.

"Haha, satisfied! Of course satisfied!!! If I could regain a young body, how would I be as decadent and licentious as I am now, not even having entered the Cultivate room once? If I became young, I would definitely accomplish a great undertaking!!!" Prince Dai said fiercely.

"Hmm, good ambition! Then you stay here properly for now, I'll be back soon..." Prince Zhao finished speaking and flashed away.

In the north-central part of Shuntian Prefecture, the imperial palace of the Great Ming Empire, which is also the center of power for the Great Ming Empire, is located here. One can see clusters of storied buildings and pavilions distributed across this area, with a faint Dragon Qi swirling above the Nine Heavens, exuding supreme majesty and overlooking this vast world...

At this moment, in an inner courtyard of the imperial palace, a faint sound of a carpenter sawing wood could be heard. Following the sound, one could see a sturdy middle-aged man with a beard on his face, wearing a light imperial dragon robe, doing carpentry work. Looking at his skilled movements, one could not help but marvel that his level of professionalism was in no way inferior to a true Advanced carpenter!

Under his skillful and flexible hands, pieces of wood gradually became well-shaped and stylish, with different shapes, yet they seemed to have some kind of connection. Sure enough, after all the wooden parts were completed, the middle-aged man patiently assembled them. After a while, an exquisite pavilion appeared before his eyes. There were pavilions, bridges, and corridors, windows, doors, and chairs, courtyards and ponds, and even many trees. There were even a few bird nests thoughtfully hung on the trees. Such exquisite design and craftsmanship were truly eye-catching and admirable!

"Haha, My villa has finally been built!!!" The middle-aged man stroked his beard and laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smiling into curved threads...

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" "Felicitations, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty's ability is truly a work of divine craftsmanship!" "Truly unprecedented and unmatched!" "Even the Divine Craftsman is far inferior to Your Majesty..." The group of palace maids and eunuchs beside him were all eloquent, spewing flowery words, competing to see who could say something more outrageous...

The middle-aged man heard it until his ears were almost drooping. He waved his sleeve violently and said loudly, "Quickly bring the pets I raise and let them move in, and serve them well!"

"Your servants obey the decree!" Everyone responded in unison and took action...

This middle-aged man was naturally the current Great Emperor of the Great Ming Empire, Zhu Zhenxiang. He possessed the Realm of a Martial Commander at the Middle Stage. His maximum Lifespan should have been around two hundred years, yet he had lived for nearly three hundred years. This, of course, could not be separated from the effect of a large amount of life-extending medicine. However, looking at his enthusiasm and mood for doing carpentry work, it seemed that this good state of mind was also one of the factors for his longevity...
