Although they arrived at Gantian Mountain first, Zong Shou insisted on waiting for Kong Yao to meet up before returning together to participate in the victory ceremony that Renbo was preparing.
Compared to Zong Shou's full set of ceremonial guards, Kong Yao only brought a few Celestial Realm helpers to protect her.
Seeing Zong Shou waiting here, although Kong Yao didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with sweetness that couldn't be dissolved.
"After we return, I am planning to cultivate in the Universe Light Hall for a period of time …"
Maybe because the war to conquer the five states in the south had consumed too much energy. Kong Yao's eyes were filled with exhaustion.
"Not only me, Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing are also planning to cultivate for a period of time. Although we can handle it now, we feel like we can't keep up. "
Zong Shou wasn't surprised. Long before they were in the south, Kong Yao had already revealed such intentions.
The three of them were all unparalleled general talents, but due to too many mundane matters, their martial path and spiritual cultivation improvements weren't satisfactory.
The three of them had trained their hearts enough, they just lacked the accumulation of cultivation. The most efficient cultivation method would be to use the Universe Light Hall that he brought from the First Dragon Hall.
However, the timing was coincidentally when the Night Demon Race might go all out to invade. It really wasn't the right time.
Zong Shou was deep in thought as he looked at the few space artifacts in his sleeves.
It seemed like he was going to lose a lot of money this time?
He had consecutively attacked over twenty Demon Sects, apart from the ten at the back which he fled in advance. A few days ago, he had collected many Mind Stones which were the treasures of dozens of sects. After several years of Spiritual Wave eruptions, it was a high production period.
Amongst which there were two sects that were ranked in the nineteen spiritual houses …
The income this time was ten times that of the thirty over Taoist Sects that he wiped out before he left the Cloud World. It was enough to support the Book of Eon for a period of time.
The Universe Light Hall wasn't complete, but along with his Book of Eon, it would increase the effect of time acceleration.
As a matter of fact, even he would need more than ten years to fully digest the demonic arts he had obtained, to increase the number of Dao Seed Stars and the Ten Ultimate Imperial Dao Extermination Swords.
As for the Book of Eon, there was no need to keep it a secret. Even if people knew, there would be very few who would dare to snatch it from him.
Since he returned to the Cloud World, he hadn't truly used the power of this God Artifact.
It wasn't that he wasn't willing, but that he couldn't. Without enough spiritual energy to support it, the spirit stones he had were more than willing to double the time in exchange for a true increase in his strength.
In the past, he would use as much as he could get his hands on, leaving only a small portion in the book to save his life in times of danger.
He could feel that Kong Yao was really really exhausted. Zong Shou pitied her and didn't torture her anymore. He was prepared to let her rest peacefully.
On the contrary, it was Yao 'er herself who provoked him. The two of them went at it for a full half of the night before Kong Yao was exhausted. She laid on Zong Shou's tail and fell asleep.
Hugging Kong Yao's body, Zong Shou caressed her silk-like hair. His heart felt pained. Only now did he realize that this unparalleled War God, who had never been defeated on the battlefield, was also feeling quite a bit of pressure in his heart.
Just now, when she sought pleasure from him, it was not only to vent, but also to seek comfort in her heart from him.
"It has been tough on Yao 'er this time …"
Using two million troops to suppress the five states in the south wasn't an easy matter.
It wasn't something that the Shang Army could easily occupy if they backed out of this region.
The interests of the various powers were intertwined with one another. It was also because of his five imperial edicts that those noble families resisted with all their might.
On one hand, Kong Yao had to defend against the Taishang. On the other hand, she had to suppress the rebels. During that period of time, Zong Shou was fighting the Demon Sect and couldn't help. The situation was indeed really dangerous. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of being overthrown.
Luckily, at this moment, the troops that Da Qian had recruited a few months ago had formed up and could take on huge responsibilities. It caused the military strength of the five states to not be stretched too thin.
This was also the reason why Kong Yao was willing to put down everything and focus on cultivating in the Universe Light Hall.
The situation had stabilized. Da Qian had stationed a million troops in front of Hundred Victory Pass and also built a temporary pass city.
Shi Ruolan also led the navy to attack the mouth of the Yangtze River several times. A portion of the cloud ships successfully entered this water system.
As a result, the Taishang Navy wasn't the only one that was strong. The battle entered a stalemate and no one could think about breaking through in a short time.
What they were competing on now was the strength of both sides.
It didn't matter whether or not Kong Yao and the others were there or not.
On the morning of the second day, Zong Shou brought Kong Yao along and slowly entered the city under the protection of thirty thousand iron cavalry.
The carriage pulled by forty-nine dragon horses was too huge and naturally wasn't suitable.
They could only change to a carriage and enter Gantian Mountain City.
Twelve bells rang out throughout the hundred miles around Gantian Mountain. The two sides of the streets were filled with Gantian Mountain people, their expressions solemn and respectful.
Zong Shou was slightly shocked. He thought that after he entered the city, the city would be filled with cheers.
However, at this moment, the city was so silent that it could be broken.
Until a portion of the people knelt down at the side of the road.
"Long live the Saint King!"
The voices of tens of millions of people gathered like one, shaking the clouds. Only then did it become slightly messy.
"The heavens bless Da Qian, which is why there is a Saint Lord!"
"Our Da Qian Country is prosperous and the people are prosperous. The rule of the three ancient emperors is all because of the Saint King!"
"Let's hope that the King is invincible!"
Zong Shou sat within the carriage, the corner of his lips twitching slightly.
In comparison, when he entered the city last time, some people said that he was useless in certain areas, which made him feel more at ease.
At this moment, everyone was respectful and worshipful. Everyone was saying the same thing, which made him feel a little weird …
When Kong Yao heard that, she was delighted, her brows filled with a gratified smile.
Her life goal was to help a wise ruler, to command ten thousand rulers, to fight on the battlefield and leave her name in history. So that her father's prediction wouldn't be wrong.
Although she had switched to Da Qian, for some reason she had become Zong Shou's concubine. However, this wish had never changed.
At this moment, for her husband to be recognized by the people, she was even happier than others praising her.
However, at this moment, she felt that something was amiss. She looked over curiously and said, "Husband, you are able to gain the respect of your subjects because of your virtue as a ruler. You are recognized by the people. However, you don't seem to like it."
Zong Shou shook his head slightly, not knowing how to explain.
"It isn't a good thing to respect someone too much. If there is only one person out of tens of millions of people, it will only lead to disaster. "
He didn't dare to say that in that moment, when he was cheered on by the people, he actually felt a little intoxicated.
He also knew that at this moment, his reputation in Gantian Mountain had reached the peak.
No matter what he wanted to do, these people would listen to him and not many people would stand out to resist.
Luckily, he didn't crave power. Only because of special reasons did he inherit Da Qian and become the ruler of a country. What he chased in his heart was still the peak of the sword path.
This was why a moment later, he came back to his senses.
However, he also felt that the entire Da Qian and himself were in an extremely dangerous situation.
Anything he said could affect the direction of the Da Qian country. The problem was that he himself wasn't sure which things were beneficial to Da Qian and which policies were harmful to Da Qian.
Sighing slightly, Zong Shouxin made a decision in his heart. From now on, he couldn't say anything about administrative matters in case it caused a huge disaster.
Maybe he should really follow Zhang Huai's words and move the capital. The people of Gantian Mountain City all respected and respected him.
Instead, it was the Central Cloud Continent and the five states of Jiangnan that were rebelling that made him wake up a little.
"Only one person out of tens of millions of people?"
Kong Yao muttered, following which she didn't understand, "I don't understand! What's wrong with that? Like the Taishang Emperor, he was held back by those aristocratic families and officials. Fifty-three states, the strength of a country, but he could only use a tenth of it. He actually couldn't do anything to Da Qian. Before my dynasty, there were only seven barbarian states with a small population … "
Her husband's personality was really weird.
Zong Shou broke into a laugh. As expected, even if he said all this, Kong Yao wouldn't understand and wouldn't know the dangers within.
He didn't have any intentions to continue explaining and kept silent.
The ceremony this time was much grander than the last. The carriage circled around the city before returning to Gantian Mountain.
At this moment, the giant square below the mountain was filled with people. Roughly looking, there were hundreds of thousands of people.
Those who had the right to stand here were either officials with status or rich people from all over Da Qian.
Based on the etiquette, Zong Shou walked up to the high platform at the back of the square under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites official.
Next, he just needed to accept the bows of the people and give out the rewards for this battle and it would be over.
However, the moment Zong Shou sat down on the throne. Renbo and the others, as well as the other officials, all bowed to Li Mu.
Even the Ministry of Rites official who was in charge of the entire ceremony was the same.
"We are risking our lives to ask for your majesty to change the system and become emperor!"
A series of three voices spread out. It caused the hundreds of thousands of people nearby to all quiet down.
After a short while, someone finally reacted and bowed as well.
"Our Da Qian has spread across the world, your majesty please change the system and become emperor!"
Zong Shou was stunned, looking at the black mass of people.
This didn't match the etiquette. Based on the procedures set up by the Ministry of Rites, there shouldn't be such a thing.
Then, he came back to his senses. This was probably planned long ago, a sudden attack?
Hundreds of thousands of people were kneeling. At this moment, he had no way to reject.
He wanted to scold them, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back. At this moment, there was no point in saying all this, it would only make the ruler and his officials feel awkward.
He looked at Xuanyuan Yiren who was sitting beside him, only to see that she was also at a loss.
Zong Shou smiled bitterly. His wife was addicted to pill refining, so why would she bother about all this? She didn't even know that she was being sold.
"I allow it! Like what the officials want, the country title won't change, it will be changed to Yuanshen Wu … " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
