Dragon and Tiger Taoist

"Teacher, according to the latest intelligence feedback, various sects in the southeastern nine states have begun to suppress ghosts. Not long ago, the ghost force of Sanyin River was jointly defeated by the master of the Tongren Sect, the master of the Fire Toad Sect, and the Supreme Elder of the Li family. The ghost king of Sanhe suffered heavy losses. Although he is still on the run, it is only a matter of time before he is caught.”

In a rare game of chess, a white stone fell. Zhuang Yuan talked about the latest changes in the southeastern Kyushu. At this time, three months had passed since the celebration of Taoist Ming Yue. In these three months, he had responded to the call of the Changsheng Taoist Alliance, no matter what. Whether they really want to or not, every sect in the southeast has started to clean up the ghosts.

This time, the ghost that has been wreaking havoc in the southeastern Kyushu for decades encountered a comprehensive attack by the immortal cultivators for the first time. For a while, the ghost became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi's expression remained unchanged and he quietly let go. This was expected.

"In addition, the Liquan Sect has discovered traces of the ghost force known as Ghost Eye and is currently launching an encirclement and suppression campaign. The Qingzhu Sect and Mingxiang Sect have already sent reinforcements. The combined power of these three sects should be enough to destroy this ghost force."

Following the drop, Zhuang Yuan added that with the guidance of the Immortal Taoist Alliance and the combined efforts of all sects, although the end has not really come to an end, the trend of ghosts in Southeast Kyushu is over. If it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

"It's normal. The strongest ghost force in Southeast Kyushu is the Hundred Ghost Gate, and the biggest variable is the Yin Ghost Cave. Now that both of them have been wiped out by our Dragon Tiger Mountain, the rest will naturally become irrelevant."

"However, it seems that these six major forces are performing well and have made the right choices. Let the Dao League make an assessment in advance and lay a solid foundation for subsequent consolidation. By then, the power of the Dao League can truly radiate throughout the entire country. Southeast Kyushu has reached a new level.”

Thinking of the Yin Ghost King who was killed by Wu Mian before, Zhang Chunyi spoke with a wave of emotion in his heart.

Compared with ordinary ghost kings, the Yin Ghost King is indeed a spirited one. Although he is only of the highest quality, he is lucky enough to get a lower-grade esophageal Tao species that is naturally bred by heaven and earth. With the help of this Tao seed, He can cannibalize his own species to rapidly increase his cultivation level.

Based on his previous development trend, as long as he is given some time, it is really possible for him to surpass Luo Xiong, the former leader of the Hundred Ghost Sect, and even unify the southeastern Kyushu and completely destroy the humanity here. It is a pity that his luck is not good enough after all. I met Longhu Mountain and Wumian.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan nodded.

"Teacher, after the Dao League takes over the southeastern Kyushu, will it maintain its original development model or try to compete for the dragon?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhuang Yuan asked the doubts in his heart. In fact, it was not only him, but also the doubts of many Dao League monks.

After understanding the past of Middle-earth, Zhuang Yuan discovered that since the collapse of the Great Victory Dynasty in the ninth era, most of the disputes in Middle-earth started from the struggle for dragons, and both the human princes and the immortal sects were swept into it. However, so far, this dispute that has spread for an era has still not reached a conclusion.

Fighting for dragons seems to be the center of everything in Middle-earth. The princes of the human world want to aspire to be the human emperor, and the immortal sects are also happy to support the Dragon Court and use the luck of Fuyao. It is rumored that in the eighth and ninth eras, people took advantage of fighting for dragons to gain Qi. There are not a few cultivators who have attained the status of immortals through luck.

So in the tenth era, with the revival of inspiration and the flourishing of luck, it seems that whether it is fighting the dragon in person or supporting the dragon court, it is a road to reach the realm of immortals.

After all, compared to the traditional road, this road not only goes faster, but also has lower requirements for one's own qualifications. It pays more attention to timing and destiny. As long as you seize the opportunity and follow the right person, you can be a pig. It is possible to fly into the sky.

Under such circumstances, on the eve of the Taoist League's unification of the nine states in the southeast, the voices within the Taoist League about participating in the Dragon Fighting or Fulong Court became louder and louder. First, some local sects, and then sects from the Southern Wilderness also joined. Got in.

According to the old rules of China, those who occupy a state can be called a marquis, and those who occupy nine states can be called a king. Although the southeastern nine states have declined, as long as the Changsheng Dao Alliance is willing, they can still barely support the position of a king. This is a great advantage. .

After hearing this, Zhang Chunyi put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head.

"Fighting for the Dragon or supporting the Dragon Court is indeed a path for one person to achieve enlightenment, and for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. It is said that Ying Emperor also started out in the grass. After he ascended to the position of Human Emperor, all those who supported him received generous rewards, and he became a There are many immortals.”

"But even if a general succeeds, all his bones will be withered, let alone the supreme human emperor who dominates the world. This is a truly bloody road, where the winner takes all and the loser loses everything."

"The road to fight for the dragon is forged by the bones of the enemy and our own people. Once failed, those who fight for the dragon will undoubtedly die, and those who support the Dragon Court will inevitably suffer backlash. And strictly speaking, there needs to be a distinction between the human emperor way and the orthodox immortal way. It’s difficult to coexist as equals.”

At the end of the sentence, Zhang Chunyi's face was also stained with solemnity.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan was thoughtful. He had been cultivating in the mountains for these years, and he had also learned about the iconic Human Emperor's Way in Middle-earth. The essence of this path is actually self-centered.

"Middle-earth was once the center of heaven and earth. The origin of immortality was here. Both Taoism and Buddhism took root and grew stronger here. But now, although there are still many ancient Taoisms in Middle-earth, those truly immortal forces are not All gone.”

"Buddhism went to the Western Wilderness, and Taoism went to the Eastern Wilderness. They all gave up on Middle-earth, and they were all in the eighth era."

Looking at Zhuang Yuan, Zhang Chunyi added again.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan suddenly realized.

It is no coincidence that the Buddhist and Taoist sects have fled far away one after another. It is probably more due to the pressure of the Great Victory Emperor. Under normal circumstances, even if they move their ancestral court, they will not completely cut off their roots in China. After all, Middle Earth is the center of heaven and earth and is favored by heaven and earth.

The emperor, the tyrant, is the only one who is supreme. After winning the emperor's unification of China, he will naturally suppress all dissent. Even immortal forces such as Taoism and Buddhism also need to submit to the imperial power. There is a fundamental conflict between the two. .

Everything in the world is not the king's land, and everything on the shore of the land is the king's ministers. The human emperor's way is not incapable of embracing the traditional immortal way, but the premise is that the traditional immortal way must surrender to the human emperor's way.

If behemoths such as Taoism and Buddhism are allowed to take root and grow wantonly in the land under his control, then for Emperor Ying, this in itself will be a wavering of the imperial power in his hands.

"So that's it. Emperor Ying will rule the world and suppress all dissent. At that time, practitioners all over the world will have to face a choice, either to surrender or to escape."

"The orthodox traditions that remain in Middle-earth are basically those that chose to surrender. This may be the fundamental reason why most of the forces in Middle-earth are xenophobic, because they made completely different choices from the forces in other regions. They originally surrendered to Under imperial authority.”

With a clear understanding in his heart, Zhuang Yuan murmured softly, and in a daze, he seemed to have seen those ancient times.
