Chapter 676 Endless troubles! Fortunes and misfortunes depend on each other!
The royal city of Da Chu.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Chu sat high on it.
His eyes were gloomy, and his aura was still majestic and deep, but in fact, he already felt vain.
Whether it was attacking Jusheng Mountain or teaming up with Zhuang Ming to deal with the seven ancient immortal gods, he did it with all his strength and borrowed the vast power of the country.
The power of a great country should not be used lightly.
If it is used repeatedly, it may become unstable.
Judging from the intensity he is using now, in the next ten years, the Chu Dynasty will probably be plagued by natural and man-made disasters.
In terms of fortune, the fate of the country of Chu was damaged, and disasters occurred everywhere.
From the perspective of a cultivator, he is borrowing the general trend of mountains and rivers, so the spiritual charm of various places is unstable, fearing that there will be signs of landslides and earthquakes, unpredictable disasters such as wind and rain, and in the long run, droughts, floods, etc.
, which may be difficult to stop.
In the event of a disaster, disaster relief in various places will inevitably consume the treasury accumulation and weaken the foundation of Dachu.
The various places are unstable and people's hearts are fluctuating. If there are people with ulterior motives, there may be rebellion and rebellion.
Moreover, under the official seal, all practitioners must be controlled by him, but after repeated use, the official seal is not as powerful as before, so the help of local officials, civil servants and military officers in the official seal and military orders will be weakened out of thin air.
For example, the original palm seal of the first government, the master of the golden elixir, and the power of the official seal of Dachu, could rival the second level of Zhenxuan. Now that the country's power has weakened, it may be comparable to the first level of Zhenxuan.
Moreover, as the power of official seal blessings weakens, the checks and balances on officials in various places may also weaken.
In this way, it would not be unusual for officials from various places to break free from the shackles of official seals and rebel against Chu if they found the corresponding method.
This is the hidden danger that belongs to Emperor Chu!
The power of the Chu Dynasty, as a country, can make his Zhenxuan Nine Seals invincible in the world.
However, excessive use of national power, which is insufficient to suppress the hidden dangers, is a disaster.
And this is also the reason why many ancient immortals and gods can tolerate the Chu Dynasty and him, the Emperor of Chu.
Because the ancient immortal gods have ways to check and balance him.
"On the contrary, they can't control that real dragon."
Emperor Chu took a deep breath and said: "However, since I have joined forces with Zhuang Ming to kill Qisu, they will definitely be afraid of me. Then there will be disasters in the Chu Dynasty, and they want to suppress me...
But the real dragon's situation should be even more difficult than mine, because they just want to suppress me and really want to kill the real dragon."
He thought like this and looked at the national seal in his hand.
The power of the national seal is not as good as before.
There is a faint meaning of gloom.
"His Majesty……"
Lu Qianqing, the great national master, looked strange.
The national seal is dim, the official seal is dim, and the military orders are also dim.
Even the army of the Great Chu Dynasty is no longer that powerful.
From a practitioner's perspective, the power of military orders has been frustrated.
From a worldly perspective, it should be that the Chu Dynasty was weak, the generals in various places were making changes, the military was uneasy, and they were afraid that food and pay would be insufficient, which would affect their combat effectiveness.
"Since ancient times, the path of spiritual practice has been filled with endless calamities."
Emperor Chu said in a deep voice: "This time, he took the initiative to induce calamity. Perhaps he wanted to use the calamity to become a heavenly dragon... To put it more clearly, he may have wanted to use the power of the gods and immortals to stir up the ancient truth between life and death.
The dragon bloodline creates the body of a heavenly dragon."
Lu Qianqing paused and said, "Will he get his wish?"
Emperor Chu shook his head slightly and said: "It's hard to say. He has always planned very deeply. He must have guessed the results that I and you guessed. However, those ancient gods and gods may not always be as he wishes."
Lu Qianqing hesitated and said, "What about the agreement between His Majesty and him?"
Emperor Chu laughed at himself and said, "Will it be beneficial to Jushengshan if you take this as a promise?"
Lu Qianqing pondered and said: "On the surface, our Dongyuan army has lost nearly half, but there is still half. If we mobilize various armies and gather hundreds of millions, relying on your Majesty's strength and military formation, it may not be possible. You can’t fight a real dragon head-on!”
Emperor Chu sighed: "But it's not enough to slay the dragon!"
Lu Qianqing fell into silence.
Emperor Chu said: "Not talking about Wen Li and others, just devoting all the strength of the country to fight the real dragon will not be beneficial. On the contrary, after mobilizing the troops from all over the place, the places will be empty. In addition, the use of the national seal will be too much. If there is a rebellion, Da Chu may fall apart!"
Lu Qianqing whispered: "So your majesty cannot fight! So your majesty is also afraid of gathering at the Holy Mountain to retaliate for today's events and counterattack our territory of Dachu, so you made a promise of Jiazi?"
Emperor Chu nodded and said: "But this is not a good thing for Chu."
Lu Qianqing was silent for this.
The hidden dangers of the Chu Dynasty are now increasing.
However, with the Chu emperor's talent and strategy, he could still suppress it, and in a few more years, he could restore the prosperity of recent years, and even create an unprecedented power in the Chu dynasty.
However, no matter how prosperous Da Chu is, it will only have 70% of Dongzhou's territory.
If he failed to unify Dongzhou, the Chu Emperor would not be able to have the power to build the tripod immortal god.
In other words, the Emperor of Chu who led the army to attack Jusheng Mountain and led the expedition himself was already the highest level that Emperor Chu could achieve!
If you want to go further, you must attack Jusheng Mountain and seize the remaining 30% of the territory!
However, this is a dead end.
If you want to fight against the real dragon of Gathering Holy Mountain, you must have the power to forge a cauldron!
In order to build the power of the cauldron, we must conquer Jusheng Mountain and take over the remaining 30% of the Eastern Continent.
But if you are not strong enough to cast a cauldron immortal god, you will not be able to defeat Jusheng Mountain!
"I have no hope of progress."
Emperor Chu said in a deep voice: "But the real dragon can still make progress."
True dragon bloodline is not subject to the checks and balances of the Heavenly Gate and can transform into a Heavenly Dragon.
Of course, transforming into a heavenly dragon is no easy task.
However, even if Zhuang Ming does not enter the realm of Tianlong, there is still hope for further progress.
Because Zhuang Ming was in Jusheng Mountain, he established the Dongsheng Dynasty.
And behind Jusheng Mountain is the boundary of Sancheng Dongzhou.
"I have 70% of Dongzhou, but I'm still not as powerful as a true dragon."
Emperor Chu said: "If I have another 30% of Dongzhou, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with the immortal gods... So, what if this 30% of Dongzhou falls into the hands of a true dragon?"
Lu Qianqing was silent for a while and said: "Are you better than the immortal god who first made the cauldron?"
Emperor Chu nodded and said: "I made a covenant of Jiazi to prevent him from attacking the Chu Dynasty, but he will not give up the 30% of the land, and once he wants to take the 30% of the land, he will definitely become a public enemy in the world! For many ancient In terms of existence, his unification of the three-tenths of the realm is no less than wanting to transform into a heavenly dragon and cast a cauldron to become an immortal!"
The real dragon is different from him!
He lost the power of the national seal and only had the Zhenxuan Nine Seals.
The true dragon has lost its national seal, but it is still an extremely powerful true dragon as it is now.
No one wants to see such a powerful real dragon.
No one is willing to see the true dragon invincible in the world and surrender to the younger dragon clan.
Even for those with great supernatural powers who have closed the gate of heaven, breaking this balance is not a good thing.
He made the promise of Jiazi because he wanted to hide his power and bide his time within this Jiazi, allowing the real dragon to stand high and reveal itself to the world, attracting the attention of all the immortals and gods.
Of course, first of all, this real dragon has to survive the disaster in front of him.
——
Bachelor's Mansion.
Liu Yuexuan has returned.
After this defeat, as the eyes of Dong Yuan's army and the highest official of the Bachelor's Palace, he will inevitably be held accountable.
What's more, everyone from the Intelligence Department returned with him, but none of the people from Tianji Pavilion returned, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
This matter of factional disputes needs to be investigated in detail.
"Liu Siping, the emperor's master has ordered you to write down everything about your trip and submit it to His Majesty."
The middle-aged official looked strange and sighed: "You were promoted by me, and I can trust you, so I will tell you the truth... This time, your Majesty suspects that there are informants everywhere in Dachu, and there is no shortage of them."
You are a spy hiding in the Holy Mountain. Now you are very suspicious. If you cannot prove your innocence, your life may be in danger."
Liu Yuexuan stretched and said with a smile: "What if I prove my innocence?"
The middle-aged official said: "I will personally request an order for you. You will be in charge of investigating the inside of Dachu and finding out the spies from all sides. This can be regarded as a crime and meritorious service!"
Liu Yue
No matter what, the blame still lies with me, and I am willing to take the blame. I have finished writing everything about this period, please submit it to the palace... As for the request for meritorious service, you can just write one for me."
The middle-aged official nodded and said, "That's fine."
