Everyone discussed the next course of action and set off again early the next morning. However, Yang Qi had already separated from Tang Qin and others and went to the Holy Elephant Dynasty alone.
There is still some distance between the Holy Elephant Dynasty and the Bright Moon Dynasty. It took Yang Qi several hours to reach the Holy Elephant Dynasty.
“Is this the Holy Elephant Dynasty?”
As soon as he entered the Holy Elephant Dynasty, Yang Qi could sense the pure power of faith in the aura of the practitioners around him. However, compared to the use of faith by the Holy See of Light on Earth, the Holy Elephant Dynasty and the Holy Church of Light behind it were more skilled in using the power of faith.
After entering the Holy Elephant Dynasty, Yang Qi no longer used his flying martial arts, nor did he change his appearance. Instead, he headed directly for his destination, the small town of Krum!
The Holy Elephant Dynasty was just a small dynasty and did not know much about the List of Prodigies. In addition, Yang Qi had a grudge against the Church of Light, so it was impossible for the Church of Light to deliberately promote him. Ordinary practitioners could not recognize his identity.
Yang Qi looked at the practitioners coming and going outside the window, and thought to himself, "Although it is under the rule of the Church of Light, the Holy Elephant Dynasty is stable."
Yang Qi has been to some small dynasties over the years, but among the small dynasties he has seen, even the Xuanming Dynasty is not as stable as the Shengxiang Dynasty. The entire Shengxiang Dynasty gives people a sense of peace and prosperity. If you ignore the strength of the practitioners, it is not much different from the secular world on Earth. Although such a situation is not uncommon on Earth, it is extremely rare in Zichen Continent, especially in small dynasties.
The conflicts of interest between small dynasties were more frequent and fierce than those in the empire. In addition, small dynasties did not have enough deterrent power. Some powerful warriors in the Martial Honor Realm could completely ignore the royal family of small dynasties, and the restraint was naturally greatly reduced. The combination of these many factors caused turmoil in small dynasties!
The Holy Elephant Dynasty was the opposite of the turmoil of the small dynasties. Compared with the three major empires, it was not much less turbulent. This was mainly due to the rule of the Church of Light. Under the rule of the faith of the Church of Light, the entire dynasty relied on the will of the Church of Light. Over countless years, those who dared to resist had long been eliminated.
"Although it is stable, it is bought with faith in the present and the future. Is this kind of mental slavery really the life they want?" Yang Qi murmured to himself.
"Um?"
Just when Yang Qi was lost in thought, the street outside suddenly became noisy, and then the practitioners in the restaurant all rushed to the window.
Looking at the practitioners standing on both sides of the street outside the window, Yang Qi was stunned and frowned slightly, "What are they doing?"
"It seems that this is your first time in the Holy Elephant Dynasty?" At this moment, a deep voice came from beside Yang Qi. It was a burly middle-aged man in a short shirt who was looking at him.
"Yes, I am a cultivator from the Great Chu Empire, and this is my first time in the Western world." Yang Qi nodded. Although he did not reveal his identity, he did not hide anything about his origins.
"I see. No wonder you didn't know." The burly man nodded slightly, not seeming to find it strange.
The man in the short shirt in front of him looked like an oriental practitioner, which made him feel a bit favorable. Yang Qi couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what's going on?"
"This is God's messenger on patrol." The burly man said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed and he frowned, "The envoy of God is on patrol. Could this envoy of God be..."
"Except for the messenger of the temple, who else dares to call himself the messenger of God?" the burly man said indifferently.
The temple is the Temple of Light. There is a Temple of Light in every area ruled by the Church of Light, and the messenger is a practitioner sent from the headquarters of the Church of Light to garrison there. Although Yang Qi has never entered the area ruled by the Church of Light, he has some understanding of the Church of Light's ruling methods.
The so-called Temple of Light is somewhat similar to the church of the Holy See of Light on Earth, but the temple on the Zichen Continent has a wider scope of responsibilities. It is not only responsible for spreading and collecting beliefs in the area, but also responsible for administrative power in the area. The Temple of Light is somewhat like a combination of a city lord's mansion and a church.
Generally speaking, low-level temples have three to five divine messengers, while high-level temples may have dozens of divine messengers, and each divine messenger is a martial honorable person! This is also the benefit of the direct rule of the Church of Light. Although other small dynasties may have the support of super powers behind them, super powers generally cannot directly occupy the surface. In the entire Zichen Continent, only the Church of Light dares to stand directly in the open. After all, they need to collect the power of faith. If they hide in the dark, it will be more troublesome!
Looking at the practitioners standing respectfully on both sides of the street, Yang Qi frowned slightly and said, "Even if the practitioners of the temple are on patrol, it shouldn't be such a big scene, right?"
The situation before him was like an ancient Chinese emperor's tour, but in fact, in Zichen Continent, even if the emperors of the three empires were on tour, it would be impossible for all the practitioners to be so respectful. After all, practitioners pursue individual strength, and most people respect the strong, not the powerful!
"That's why I said that this is your first time to come to the Holy Elephant Dynasty. There are benefits to God's envoy's tour. Practitioners with devout faith can receive God's envoy's blessing!" The burly man chuckled.
Blessing
Yang Qi was startled, and looked at the burly man in confusion, "What's going on with this blessing?"
“I don’t know exactly what the blessing is. Although I often travel to the Holy Elephant Dynasty, I am not a practitioner of the Holy Elephant Dynasty. I have seen the messenger of God on patrol several times. It is said that he bestowed treasures such as holy water.” The burly man smiled bitterly.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, he didn't find it strange. In fact, when the burly man came to him, he realized that the other party's cultivation was only that of a mid-level martial artist, and there was no fluctuation of faith power on his body. It was obvious that he was not a practitioner of the Church of Light.
Boom~Boom~
At this moment, a low muffled sound was heard in the distance, and the ground shook slightly with the low muffled sound. On the road where the crowd was separated, an old man in gorgeous clothes was riding a giant white elephant of dozens of feet long and walking slowly towards them.
"One-star martial master!"
Looking at the old man on the back of the giant elephant, Yang Qi's eyes focused. The city under his feet was just a small county-level city in the three major empires. A one-star martial arts master was an absolute powerhouse in such a city!
The burly man at the side saw Yang Qi staring at the giant white elephant in a trance, and couldn't help but whispered, "How is it? Are you surprised? That's the Holy Elephant."
"Is that the holy elephant?"
Yang Qi was stunned, it was the first time he saw the white giant elephant. The strength of the white giant elephant was not strong, it was just a low-level martial arts master. However, there was a fluctuation of the power of faith on the white giant elephant's body!
"The Holy Elephant is the totem of the Holy Elephant Dynasty, and it is also the origin of the name of the Holy Elephant Dynasty." The burly man said. (To be continued)
