Roughly half a month later, the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty's territory was finally settled.
Yuanren and the surrounding 47 worlds were all occupied. Along with Kui Xuan leading the troops, they crazily attacked within the Jiudu Xianting Country.
Using the Taiyi God Lightning Ships and Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships, they were several times faster than normal Spaceships.
In 20 days, they took down a total of 26 worlds, amongst which there were even 2 Medium Worlds.
However, at this point, the surrounding powers all reacted. On one side, they pressured the Da Qian Country and moved troops into the country.
On the other hand, they worked together to swiftly split up the remaining land of Jiudu Xianting.
Kui Xuan had too few troops, so he could only helplessly stop and turn to defense.
Actually, he was unable to take down more. The portion of land that he took from Jiudu Xianting was far away from Yuanren World and wasn't connected to it.
It was also entangled with the other powers.
How to rule was a problem and how to defend was even more problematic.
It was easy to occupy, but they might not be able to defend.
Zong Shou was actually really satisfied with Kui Xuan's decision to stop while he was ahead.
At this moment, Great Gan had a total of 5 Middle Worlds and 69 Small Worlds. It was starting to take shape.
The area close to Yuanren was one of the few rich lands.
In the last life, that person had used the wealth and manpower of this place to rise up.
In just a few years, he would be able to gather up the strength of the country.
What made Zong Shou happy were the blacksmiths that the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty supported.
Yi Lingsu's family really had a huge influence. Through this person's persuasion, close to 70% of them agreed to move to Yuanren.
The number of Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships that joined them was also more than expected, a total of 16 of them.
Without the Nine Capital Extreme Blade Warriors in charge of these ships, they lost a lot of their value.
However, they had peak Xiantian Realm combat strength and were several times faster than normal ships, so they still had a lot of value.
Normal Celestial Dynasties and cultivation factions would send one person to be the Lord of a world.
Apart from being in charge of defense, they would also have to hand over a large portion of their production.
When one's cultivation reached the Deity Realm, one would usually ignore worldly affairs and would not be willing to lightly touch the power of karma.
Therefore, the Realm Lord candidates were usually chosen from Intermediate Immortal Realm cultivators.
Zong Shou's Da Qian Celestial Dynasty was different, there was no Realm Lord position.
Based on the system that Zong Shou and Lu Wubing had discussed and decided on. Every world would be divided into several countries. There were three to five people who could go to the Yuanren world and enter the Conference Hall.
There was one Overlord and two Deputy Generals. They didn't care about worldly affairs, only in charge of training and recruiting troops, and nurturing cultivators of this world.
There was also a governor, a political advisor, and a number of other officials such as the Hundred Flower Emissary, the Beast Emissary, and so on. In addition to supervising, they were also in charge of collecting taxes, mediating disputes between countries and sects, cultivating all kinds of spirit herbs and spirit beasts, and nourishing spirit veins.
The latter two were the most important. Normal government affairs would be handled by the various countries themselves.
Only when the monarch is immoral, or when the monarch is muddleheaded, or when the people resent him. Only then would the Da Qian interfere to fulfill the responsibility of the country.
There was also the Merchant Emissary, who was in charge of all trade matters.
The country policy was really relaxed. Although in essence, they were really plundering people, they were much gentler.
This was why they didn't face much resistance in the new land they occupied. Most of the people of the various worlds were doubtful, their attitudes were really careful as they tried to come into contact with the Da Qian.
At this point, the surrounding situation had slowly stabilized. The Hon Ling Order, Jijue Celestial Dynasty, and the League of the Seven either suffered heavy losses or had many problems of their own. Towards the rise of the Da Qian, they wanted to, but they didn't have enough strength.
The other powers were more or less wrapped up in the fight for land under Jiudu Xianting. All of a sudden, they didn't have time to bother about the Da Qian.
Logically speaking, there were still numerous things to do, expanding the Dao Soldiers, increasing military strength, recruiting cultivators, etc.
Zong Shou didn't bother anymore, tossing aside everything that he had to do.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the nine Taiyi God Lightning Ships were brought back to the Cloud World by Shi Ruolan.
The troops that were scattered all around were also moved back.
Roughly ten thousand Big Dipper Sword Soldiers, three thousand Black Fox Iron Cavalry, and a set of Source Ocean Big Dipper Imperial Demon Slaying Sword Formation.
Zong Shou directly set off and left the Yuanren World.
What he obtained last time included Liu Muchen's ship.
Not only was it extravagant and beautiful, but it was also really practical. Its speed was no weaker than a Celestial Grade Artifact. It was also a warship.
Its combat strength was comparable to five to six Earth Grade Warships added together.
Naturally, its value couldn't be compared to the Royal Demon God Shuttle, but in terms of comfort, it was several times better.
This time, Zong Shou wanted to follow the army and wasn't in a rush. He decided to move onto the giant ship that he had renamed Gantian and use it as his ship.
Along with him were Ao Kun and Ao Yi.
"Zong Shou, are you really going to do such a stupid thing? Three thousand years of lifespan, that isn't a joke! "
Within the room, Zong Shou sat alone in the center. Ao Kun and Ao Yi each sat on one side.
Ao Yi's expression was expressionless. She didn't have much of a relationship with Zong Shou. It was only because of Ao Kun that she came into contact with Zong Shou.
Ao Kun owed Zong Shou too much and she remembered it in her heart. No matter what Zong Shou needed, she would try her best to help and wouldn't say much.
Everything was Zong Shou's choice and she didn't need to interfere.
Ao Kun's face was filled with unhappiness.
"You Zong Shou have done enough for Cang Shengdao! You have a clear conscience now. Why do you need to take such a risk? Even if you are lucky and succeed, you can temporarily have Saint Realm strength. However, at this moment, the Common People's Path doesn't make much of a difference with or without you. Why do you need to do that? "
His words were filled with rage, but he also didn't understand what Zong Shou was doing.
"Brother Ao, without Cang Shengdao, there wouldn't be Zong Shou today. I can't say that I have done something for Cang Shengdao and feel at ease. I knew that Cang Shengdao was in danger of being wiped out, but I didn't do anything. Although I don't agree with Cang Shengdao's ideals of equality, Zong Shou is grateful. "
Zong Shou shook his head and didn't think much of it.
"Besides, even if it wasn't for this kindness, just for you and Brother Ao, I can't just stand by and do nothing. This time, Long Ying, Master and Brother Ao also want to help Cang Shengdao, right? "
Ao Kun was stunned and then kept silent.
Who asked him to owe Wei Xu a favor? This time, even if he knew that Cang Shengdao was most likely going to lose, he still had to rush over.
If he didn't pay back his debt this time, he probably wouldn't have a chance to do so in the future. If he was like that, then Dragon Shadow was probably like that too.
Ao Yi was also slightly moved and looked at Zong Shou in surprise.
The two of them were really loyal to each other and had a strong sense of loyalty.
"This is why this Cang Shengdao calamity, no matter if I am willing or not, Zong Shou is going to be dragged in."
Zong Shou broke into a laugh, his eyes were filled with calmness about life and death.
"Moreover, it is just 3,000 years of lifespan, it isn't for nothing. It is for real cultivation, so why wouldn't I be willing? Even if I use it, I still have 1,000 years left. There is no rush … "
"1,000 years left? You really don't care at all. "
Ao Kun scoffed coldly, "Other people want to live longer when they cultivate. You, on the other hand, don't care at all. After Celestial Realm, there is God Realm. After God Realm, there is Saint Realm. You, Zong Shou, can at most live for 10,000 years. Can you guarantee that you will be able to break through those tribulations and those cultivation barriers in that amount of time? With your talent, if you follow the normal path, you will become a Saint Venerable in a few thousand years. Why are you in such a rush? "
"Li Wuque stepped into End Realm in 2,000 years. Does Brother Ao think that I am not as good as him? After End Realm, I will be able to live a long life. Why would I care about these 3,000 years? "
Zong Shou's expression was still really calm. He had an attitude like he was really rich in the future, so he could squander it all now.
"Zong Shou is impatient and doesn't want to take things step by step. He wants to waste time in cultivation. The future is dangerous and 10,000 years is too long. Zong Shou is willing to fight for time. "
There was one more thing that he didn't say. If this technique could succeed. He would definitely be able to perfect Aokun's Existence and Destruction Technique.
Even Ao Yi would benefit from it.
However, he knew that if Ao Kun found out, his brother definitely wouldn't agree.
No matter how one looked at it, he would be sacrificing his lifespan to complete his Dao.
If he didn't say anything now, when it started, naturally he would let him do whatever he wanted. Ao Kun wouldn't be able to regret even if he wanted to.
"Of course, Li Wuque can't compare to you! However, when you step into End Realm, don't end up like him. Your foundations aren't stable and your Dao path isn't complete! "
When Zong Shou heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. With Li Wuque as an example, he was a little worried.
However, this time he was determined and couldn't change his mind.
Ao Kun was furious and wanted to persuade him once more. However, his spiritual sense 'looked' at Ao Yi. Her expression was serious as she shook her head.
He knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore and that there was no point in saying anything more. He scoffed in annoyance.
"Forget it, I will let you do as you wish. There won't be a next time … "
His tone was really firm. If Zong Shou was still like this and didn't care about his lifespan.
It would be better for him to personally slap his sworn brother to death and end this matter once and for all.
"I don't dare to guarantee that!"
When Zong Shou heard this, he laughed out loud, "In the eyes of others, this is a fortuitous encounter that can't be found even if one holds a lantern. However, you are the one who is anxious for me. "
The mind stone formation was laid out long ago. When Zong Shou said this, his hands formed a seal and he moved.
Numerous talisman patterns appeared in this 100-foot room and floated in the air. It flashed and passed.
A surging spiritual wave charged all around. It was so thick that it seeped out of the formation and spread outside.
The Book of Eon Extreme Life that was placed at the core of the formation slowly floated up and flew in front of Zong Shou.
Page by page it flipped open and coincidentally it was the 5th page.
It caused the time flow in this region to speed up by a hundred times.
These changes didn't stop.
One by one, profound and mysterious characters appeared from the book. Above the Book of Eon Extreme Life, a black mist ball formed.
It was in the shape of a spiral. The moment it appeared, it pretty much sucked dry all the true qi and soul energy in Zong Shou's body.
Just as he couldn't take it anymore, Ao Kun and Ao Yi at the side. Each of them sent in a wave of power.
Zong Shou smiled and started to chant.
"Ten! Dao! Rule! Ceremony! Xuan! Law! Space! "
Seven mantras and seven hand seals instantly raised the level of the spell to a whole new level.
Within Zong Shou's soul, it exploded out like thunder. It was sucked in by a strong power and brought into an unknown place.
It was in chaos. When he focused his eyes once more.
He saw a patch of chaos opening up. It was the scene he had seen on the World Viewing Instrument a few years ago.
… The scene of the absolute beginning! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
