Chapter 1097: The Founder of the Dao
After hearing this, Zhi touched his head. He was not embarrassed. After all, in terms of strength and achievements, he met the requirements to become a candidate for the Holy Emperor.

The next step is to get the approval of Taoist Tai Su.

That person is the teacher of the Holy Emperor and has the greatest say in the arrangement of the Holy Emperor's position.

However, it is usually the previous Holy Emperor who selects the candidates, unless there are special circumstances.

After Zhi came to the Great Wilderness, he didn't know much about Tai Su. He only knew that the man who sat in the Taoist Palace in the sky seldom showed up.

The Holy Emperor's teacher established a rule that anyone who becomes a Holy Emperor must make great contributions to the people.

This is also the reason why Zhi came here to deal with the locust demon.

Zhi planned to go back and test the King's attitude.

It seemed that Lao Deng was hiding something from him.

But it doesn’t matter. Once I become the Holy Emperor, I will be the number one person under the Taoist Master.

Zhi was in a good mood and even subconsciously ignored the fact that there was one more person coming.

These people followed me voluntarily to kill the locust demons. There was no need to doubt anything.

And no one else had any doubts.

Everyone came from all over the Yellow Territory and chose to follow him temporarily because of Zhi's reputation.

After this battle, temporary following may turn into real following.

In this situation, no one cares where others come from.

Just now, Marquis Cen also bravely fought against the enemies among the fairy locusts. The other cloud fairies saw this and naturally would not reject such a person who contributed a lot.

Fortunately, the force used by Cen Hou had already been developed by Yu Huang, otherwise if the force suddenly appeared as a new path, it would arouse suspicion.

Because Cen Hou's strength is unparalleled and his fighting ability is far beyond that of an average seventh-turn cultivator, Yun Xian, who is nearby, wants to get to know him.

"My fellow immortal, I wonder which force you come from?" A female immortal came forward, her eyes full of admiration.

Cen Hou's chest was half exposed, his eyes were unruly, and with his Li Zu's immortal root, his whole body was like a peak towering into the clouds under the sky. It was natural for him to attract female fairies.

Seeing someone approaching, Lord Cen placed his right hand on his chest and said with a smile, "I am from the White Region and arrived in the Yellow Region not long ago."

In the second outer sect, the five-domain barrier had just been opened for a short time.

The female fairy covered her lips with her hand, her eyebrows slightly curved: "Then I guess my fairy friend must be the proud one of the White Territory."

Marquis Cen said modestly, "I am just a small cultivator in the mountains."

The female fairy was still enthusiastic and introduced herself: "My name is [Han], how should I address you, my fairy friends?"

Marquis Cen nodded: "Marquis!"

"Fairy Han, do you know where the next candidate for Saint Emperor will go?" Marquis Cen wanted to take something out of this piece of history. He couldn't leave empty-handed.

Han was not surprised that Marquis Cen was asking for information, as many people present were talking about this matter.

By chance, she knew some inside information: "Zhi should be going to the Holy Emperor Palace to pay homage to the Snail Emperor. The Snail Emperor once promised that if he could eliminate the locust demon, he would announce Zhi's candidacy at the ceremony."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhi will be the next Holy Emperor."

Cen Hou nodded. He had passively collected some rumors about the replacement of the Holy Emperor in the Second Outer Dao.

He did not dare to use his power actively. The details of ancient history were unclear and he was not the real one, so it was better for him to keep a low profile.

However, Marquis Cen saw something interesting in the rumors.

It seems that it is not certain that Zhi will become the Holy Emperor.

Because they all followed voluntarily, Cen Hou easily blended in with them. Through Han's introduction, he got to know quite a few Yunxians.

When they arrived at the territory of the Holy Dynasty, they were greeted by an Eighth-Rank Immortal Official.

Zhi smiled and bowed: "Senior Chai, please lead the way."

Chai stroked his beard, with a gratified expression on his face, as if he was looking at his younger generation: "It's okay, the Snail King has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhi's eyes lit up: "Are you going to confirm the candidate for the Holy Emperor?"

Chai smiled and did not give a direct answer, but said: "Let's go, you will know when you get there."

The people behind Zhi stopped. It was Luohuang who invited Zhi, not them.

Everyone is still self-aware.

Unexpectedly, Chai suddenly smiled at the crowd and said, "Young friend Li Dao, come as well. The Snail King invites you."

Cen Hou was surprised: "Me?" Chai nodded.

Zhi frowned and looked at Cen Hou, his green hair fluttering, wondering what he was thinking.

Marquis Cen ignored the surprised looks of others, stepped onto the cloud and left with Chai.

I don’t know what killing move Chai used, but the clouds under his feet turned into rainbows, and in a moment they arrived at the Holy Emperor Palace.

This is my second time here.

Marquis Cen looked at the majestic Holy Emperor Palace and found that its details were somewhat different from those during the reign of Emperor Ying.

It seems that every Holy Emperor will make slight adjustments to the Holy Emperor Palace.

Chai did not go in. He signaled Cen Hou and Zhi to go in together.

Neither of them said anything as they walked into the Holy Emperor Palace together.

Sitting on the chair that symbolizes the throne of the Holy Emperor was a middle-aged man with a capable face. There was a circle of spiral patterns on his Holy Emperor clothing, but the rest of his appearance was similar to that of an ordinary person.

In addition, there is an eighth-level cloud fairy at the bottom of the stairs.

When he saw that person, Zhi's expression became solemn.

"mysterious!"

This person is also a popular candidate for the Holy Emperor.

The [Path of Reputation] created by Xuan is also a very powerful path, and its killer move can even change a person's reputation.

Fortunately, Xuan is an upright person. If he has bad intentions, he can just use Yu Dao to destroy Zhi's reputation.

Xuan Chaozhi nodded and smiled.

No matter how much Zhi regards Xuan as his rival, he still has to respond to the other party's goodwill.

Zhi touched his green hair and showed his white teeth.

Marquis Cen didn't know anyone and just stood there motionless.

The Snail Emperor said, "Xuan, Zhi, you two have both eliminated the evil demons that were causing chaos. Now I will abdicate. I wonder which of you is willing to take over the throne of the Holy Emperor?"

Zhi rushed to bow and said, "Zhi will take the lead in this matter."

Although Xuan was a step slower, he also had ideas about the position of the Holy Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have been in the Great Wilderness for a long time, and my only thought is to become the Holy Emperor."

Luo Huang looked at these two aliens and thought of his own similar behavior in the past, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Holy Emperor sounds like the Supreme Being of the Wilderness, but in reality he is just a puppet.

Although there are many benefits to becoming a Holy Emperor, the ultimate fate is always bad.

"Let me ask you a question." The Snail Emperor said, "Whoever can answer to my satisfaction will be the candidate for the Holy Emperor."

Marquis Cen was watching the show from the side, and he always felt that Old Deng was up to something.

The Snail Emperor's eyes became sharper: "If you have the opportunity to return to your original world after you take the throne of the Holy Emperor, will you do everything you can to go back?"

Zhi was startled, looked at Xuan, and then hesitated.

This question is difficult to answer.

Is the Snail King trying to test his character?

Do you want to stay in the wilderness and become the number one person under the Dao Master, or look for your hometown?
But that’s not right, the two don’t contradict each other.

Returning home with great strength is more desirable than returning home in glory.

Xuan answered first this time: "I come from an ordinary small town. Both my parents are public servants. Although I have savings for my retirement, I need someone to take care of me when I get older."

"If I become the Holy Emperor, I will still have to study the way to return home!"

The Snail King could not see the change in his expression, so he turned around and asked Zhi: "What about you?"

Zhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and sighed: "My hometown disappeared in the turmoil a long time ago. I am the only survivor. If I were to return home, I would only want to go back and destroy those who caused the disaster and turmoil."

"But they are all mortals. After a hundred years, they will just be dust. It won't matter whether they return or not."

Zhi lowered his head and looked at the Snail Emperor: "If I become the Holy Emperor, I will not want to return home."

The Snail Emperor stroked his hands and laughed.

"it is good!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Marquis Cen: "People of the future, if it were you, what would you do?"
