My Father Is Yongle, I Just Want to Cultivate Immortality

Transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty as Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of the Yongle Emperor, he is consumed by panic. Historical records clearly state his grim fate: being roasted alive in a clay jar by his nephew, Zhu Zhanji. Desperate to preserve his life, he begins cultivating immortality with frantic determination using a mystical cultivation space awakened in his mind. From Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation, he believes that sufficient cultivation will surely grant him eternal life. Consequently, the atmosphere of the imperial court takes a bizarre turn. While the officials passionately debate grand campaigns against the Mongols and maritime expeditions to the Western Oceans, the Prince of Han weeps bitterly before the throne, begging only to be sent to a serene fiefdom to cultivate his character in peace. Enraged, Emperor Zhu Di accuses him of feigning humility while holding military power and popular support, suspecting him of plotting a coup like Li Shimin. Despite Zhu Gaoxu’s sincere insistence that he merely seeks a place rich in spiritual energy to live out his days quietly, the emperor flatly refuses, declaring that as long as he lives, his son shall not leave the capital.
