Chapter 3: The Tao

The battle report on the front line had appeared on Zhuo Ao's desk that night, and Zhuo Ao was not surprised by the caution of the Bright Sect, if the Bright Sect was full of fanatical believers who walked to the end one by one, it would be impossible to go from weak step by step to today's position.

"It seems that the Church of Light will not attack again." Xiao Zhao, who was with Zhuo Ao, said happily.

"It's not that easy." Zhuo Ao shook his head: "The Holy See of Light just doesn't want to lose too much because of us, after all, there are still many forces in this world that can pose a threat to the Church of Light, the four major families, the royal families of various countries, too much, too much loss on us, will shake the dominance of the Holy See in the mainland, so after Zilong and Xu Da showed the strength of the Holy King, and they are not sure how much power I still have in my hands, they will temporarily choose to forbear." ”

Zhuo Ao knew that his ascension speed had already attracted the attention of the Holy See of Light, and the cardinal who came to attack last time opened his mouth to ask for a godhead or something, maybe he would choose to compromise temporarily in a short time, but this time must not be too long.

"What will they do?" Xiao Zhao pondered: "If you don't want to lose yourself, under normal circumstances, it is nothing more than a combination of vertical and horizontal, and if you pull others into this battle group, will the Holy See pick up the four major families to deal with us?" ”

"Clever." Glancing at Xiao Zhao appreciatively, Zhuo Ao pondered: "If you have a war of words, Concubine Cheng is better at it, so leave this matter to her." ”

The four major families have been dealing with the Bright Sect for so long, and if they want to trick them into joining forces against themselves, even if they can do it. I'm afraid that the Holy See of Light will also pay the price.

Building your own country in this world and collecting dragon qi is not such a simple thing. With Zhuo Ao's understanding of this world, the Bright Sect, the Four Great Families, and even many smaller families that are inferior to the Four Great Families. Compared with today's countries with a large number of continents, any one who comes out has the ability to complete the unification of the entire continent, but the actual situation now is that there are many countries, even the land of the four major empires recognized today is less than half of the continent, and the remaining kingdoms and principalities are even more numerous.

Although there is no clear evidence, Zhuo Ao guesses. Behind this scene, I am afraid that the shadow of the Holy See of Light is indispensable.

Under what circumstances can religion spread rapidly?

There is no doubt that only in troubled times, when war-torn human beings yearn for peace, but are helpless about the status quo, will they place their spirit on the ethereal gods, hoping to obtain the blessing of the gods, and in order to obtain an endless stream of faith, a divided continent is obviously much better than a continent with a unified regime. Once the continent is unified, there will inevitably be friction between the monarchy and the divine power.

"Yesterday, Celine sent a letter of thanks, which is the supreme thank you of the Shellaire Elf King on behalf of the Snow Elf clan. And send a thousand-strong team of snow elves to join Punk Town, and if we need it, the Shellaire Elf King can help us once. Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

"Shellaire has become the Elven King?" Zhuo Ao looked at Xiao Zhao with some surprise. The last time they met, Shellaire was just an elder of the Snow Elves. The strength of the Sanctuary, and the Elven King has only one for each elf race. At least the elves at the level of the holy king can serve as it, it seems that the sigh of the goddess of ice and snow has brought a lot of help to Shellair, and to become the king of the elves in such a short period of time, the status of the snow elves among the elves will probably rise significantly.

"Well, I heard that I have obtained some kind of mysterious sacrifice of the elf clan and obtained the blessing of the goddess of ice and snow." Xiao Zhao nodded and sighed a little.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the peerless face that appeared at the beginning, and Zhuo Ao smiled: "I will send a letter in a while, and promise that after we establish the country, the elven race will enjoy an equal status with humans in our kingdom." ”

Equality is only relative, now in the case of the human race, the handsome elves are often the favorite of slave traders, without any protection or even the human nobles secretly fueling the troubles, the elves walk in the human society, it is a very risky thing, even if Zhuo Ao is willing to provide shelter, the elves may not be willing to believe in humans again, out of the mountain range of death.

"If she wants, she can come and settle here." With the divine source space, the safety of the snow elf clan has been greatly guaranteed, maybe they can try to enter their own territory, you must know that every elf is a marksman, and in the case of not close combat, the elf clan can play a great role on the battlefield.

Listening to the additional sentence at the end of Zhuo Ao, Xiao Zhao, who seemed to understand something, smiled and nodded, and after Zhuo Ao wrote the reply, he quickly left with the reply.

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

Looking at the back of Xiao Zhao leaving, Zhuo Ao was actually not quite sure what he really thought in his heart, but one thing is undeniable, the appearance of the stunning city at the beginning left a deep impression on himself, for the possession of beautiful things, it is impossible for any man not to have it, Zhuo Ao does not deny that if Shellair really agrees to settle here, he is faintly excited in his heart, and it is not only due to the strength of the other party's elf king.

Zhuo Ao found that it seemed that his mind had undergone some subtle changes after experiencing the secret realm of the King of Kung Fu, if it was before, he would never have shown his interest in other women so unabashedly in front of his own women, even if the other party was beautiful, Zhuo Ao would take care of his own woman's feelings.

The Blood Emperor's Residual Will?

Shaking his head, he knew very well in his heart that the Blood Emperor's will had been completely wiped out by himself, and it was impossible to have any impact on himself, but Zhuo Ao suddenly realized that after experiencing the temptation of the Blood Emperor, although he had completely solved the hidden danger in his heart, he seemed to be unconsciously moving towards the emperor's ruthless direction, both in terms of feelings and affairs.

The emperor is like heaven for a country, the way of heaven is ruthless, not really ruthless, but everything is in the case of absolute reason, according to the rules of the way of heaven, but the emperor is ruthless, to some extent, to many extents, it is selfish, and it is manifested in the external performance, that is, a strong possessiveness, no longer caring about the feelings of others, just like the actions of the blood clone in heaven under the invasion of the will of the blood emperor.

His fingers tapped on the armrest, and for the first time, Zhuo Ao fell into a state of confusion about his future, and soon, Zhuo Ao was shocked.

This is not a trivial matter, the direction of his current cultivation is considered an imperial road, at least in his cognition, the path of using the emperor's god to absorb dragon qi for his own cultivation is a road that no one has walked, no, it cannot be said that no one has walked it, since there is an imperial calamity, it means that this road must be walked, but this road is different from the orthodox cultivation method, no matter how many people have walked before, but the path taken by every emperor will not be the same, it will not have ready-made exercises to guide the way forward, The only criterion is the Imperial Tribulation.

The existence of the imperial calamity is not only to wash away the emperor's karmic karma, but also to correct the emperor's path.

Thinking about everything clearly, but relaxed, since it is the road, there will eventually be a vein to be found, but this vein, not the exercises, one thing is certain, the emperor's road, the postgraduate examination is not only martial arts cultivation, and even does not require a pure heart, a person with a pure heart cannot be an emperor, and he is obviously not a pure person.

There is always only one criterion for judging the strength of an emperor, and that is the amount of dragon qi.

Zhuo Ao realized that his thoughts continued to advance on this road, and it was undeniable that at the beginning of the blood clan clone so unscrupulously to taste the sweetness of power, maybe it was some kind of portrayal in his heart, not necessarily all, but ambitious men, the pursuit of power and beauty, since ancient times, are inseparable, when it comes to emperors in history, they are often crowned with amorous romance, and there will rarely be dedicated emperors, which is the best proof.

But all of this is based on the premise that the empire is strong, a Ming monarch enjoys beautiful women, which is called amorous and romantic, while the same behavior of a faint monarch is often criticized for being erosive in life, which is actually no different in essence.

Get rid of the inexplicable thoughts in your mind, the road of the emperor is an endless tightrope, as long as you live, you have to go on this tightrope, maybe a mistake at a certain moment will lead to a catastrophe, but since you have chosen this road, there is no reason to turn back.

Now walking on the streets of Punk Town, you can clearly feel that the townspeople of Punk Town and those who belong to Punk Town have undergone subtle changes compared with before, and the foreign merchants and mercenaries are more kind than before in their attitude towards the townspeople and aliens in Punk Town.

Many townsfolk began to join forces with the aliens to spontaneously defend the interests and image of Punk Town, and even the rude orcs of the past occasionally cared if their words and actions would discredit Punk Town's image.

In any case, now as Zhuo Ao shows his powerful power to the world, his image in the hearts of the people has naturally become different.

Zhuo Ao was well aware of the source of this change, but he also knew that these changes were also temporary, and if he lost the next confrontation with the Holy See, the fledgling pride would be quickly destroyed.

Although there may be a truce for a long time in the future, Zhuo Ao knows that the real battle has just begun, but this battle will be a battle of wits and courage at the peak of strength, from light to dark, but it is undoubtedly more dangerous. (To be continued.) )
