Chapter 625: Huge Loans

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“So that’s the case...”

Renbo opened his mouth and wanted to say something but in the end he kept silent.

Although he had questions in his heart, he was unable to accurately pinpoint it. He wasn’t a Cultivator and his foresight was limited so he didn’t know whether what Zong Shou was saying was true or false.

Looking out at the other officials around, they were all deep in thought. No one made a sound, no one objected.

Thinking about it, four million elites were enough to suppress Donglin. With 100,000 Grade-4 Warriors, their military strength would also explosively increasing.

However, the consumption would be a little too huge, but the current Gantian Mountain was enough to support that.

“Since Ruler has such an intent then we will follow!”

“Thank you all for your hard work!”

Zong Shou slightly nodded his head, his tone was really sincere. The current Gantian Mountain wasn’t a place where he could do anything he wanted. Especially with regards to finances, not only did he need to pass the cabinet, half the meeting hall had to agree.

He felt helpless, did he really lock himself up? He only felt that he was helpless and couldn’t do anything.

However, since he wouldn’t be in Gantian Mountain most of the time, he also didn’t have time to deal with administrative matters, then even if he was unhappy with the system it had to continue.

As for the words just now, they were a little extreme. However, after he saw the battle of Guangwu between Chu and Han in the Illusionary Realm, he did feel more and more nervous.

When the Xiangchu Overlord was in power, it was already at the end of the Cloud Desolate Era and the Spiritual Wave started to weaken.

However, even so there were tens of thousands of Grade-6 Calvary.

Such strength could trample over any sect or faction in the current world.

As for the Han King, he had millions of Grade-4 and above soldiers.

Zong Shou estimated that three years later he would be confident to build a 100,000-men strong pure Grade-4 Soldier army.

With the Spiritual Salamander Blood Essence Pill that Xuanyuan Yiren refined, it was enough to let Gantian Mountain produce enough Grade Four experts.

Only this Pill was a top-secret of Gantian Mountain. There were too many people here and it wasn’t convenient to say it out.

Following this, he looked toward his left hand deep in thought. He saw a ball of extremely Pure Blue Aura, like a miniaturized tornado that was floating about.

This Wind Element Spiritual Energy that Zong Shou gathered could nearly turn into physical form.

It was not only thick but extremely pure. If it was in the past, he would have to be in a shrine or spiritual house to do that.

However, at this moment, he could easily achieve it. One reason was due to the Avici Throne, dealing with the Energy Veins beneath Gantian Mountain. The other was that his recent Spirit Master Cultivation had improved.

Another reason...

Zong Shou squinted, there was no joy at all.

The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth increasing quickly was far from what he expected. It was around double that of before.

Two years ago, average talent Spirit Masters in slightly better environments would need 20-30 years to cultivate to Grade 4.

However, at this moment it would be reduced to a third!

Spirit Masters could easily use Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to train their bodies and charge at Chakra Meridians.

The soul of a Spirit Master was also easier to nourish. Under an environment where Spiritual Energy was bountiful, soul power could easily strengthen and grow.

The reason why the shrines and sects of the world could go up against a country was due to this.

However, this also meant that the Alien Races who backed out of the Cloud World during the ancient Cloud Desolate Era would also return sooner. action

Spirit Realm experts and even Celestial Realm Cultivators would all return.

This was really similar to what he remembered!

Was the Spiritual Wave spanning 170 years going to start in advance? Who knew if these changes were because of him?

Anyway, it wouldn’t be wrong to prepare in advance.

Thinking back to the changes of Yin Dragon Canyon, danger arose within his mind.

There were many things that he needed to complete in advance.

“Renbo can’t do anything about military matters but I will try my best for the pill purchasing matter!”

Renbo bowed solemnly, this was his promise for the Ruler. However, following this his tone turned cold.

“Only what is the reason for the crossbows and repairing the space ships? Can your Highness clear our doubts?”

Zong Shou’s lips twitched, only feeling that the current Renbo was like a volcano that was about to explode.

He was suppressing it to blow up after, he explained.

However this was a pass that he had to cross.

Just as he was about to speak, from the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Huai who was the country advisor, silently standing behind the officials.

Speaking of which, this office he accepted was looking more and more similar to the Zhang Liang of the illusion.

Not only the looks but the temperament, elegance and tranquility.

At this moment, his eyes were shining bright like he was thinking deeply about something.

With a thought, Zong Shou smiled and asked, “Does Advisor Zhang have any views about my actions?”

It wasn’t a question but a chance for him to prove himself. Only by letting him display his ability in front of others could the others trust him and he could be promoted.

“The Ruler is ambitious and considers far and wide, Zhang Huai is impressed. Repairing the cloud ships although it cost huge amount, it has to be done!”

Renbo’s brows rose. He knew that this person was Ren Tianxing’s good friend. They had talked a bit in the past and his impression of him was not bad, his talents and knowledge were quite good too. This was why he didn’t try to stop Zong Shou when he made the country advisor rank.

However, only today did he realize that his personality was so lowly. Someone who just agrees with what the Ruler says isn’t a good Minister.

Just as he was about to speak, to scold this person, Zhang Huai spoke up once more, “Great Shang is really strong and we can’t plan against them. Donglin Cloud Continent also affects the many sects. Ruler has so many plans but no way to use them. Then, targeting the outer regions is the best choice. The strength of a country is like travelling against the current, if one doesn’t go forward, one will be forced back. At this moment, our Gantian Country is really strong, our troops are sharp and overbearing, we can give it a try...”

The moment these words were spoken, the entire hall was instantly silent. Renbo was quiet. Although Zhang Huai’s words were indirect, they lit up a lightbulb in his head. Zong Shou was planning to conquer and fight outer regions!

His heart tightened and he felt a little annoyed. How could he speak about such a secretive thing in such a place.

Then, he understood. Once those six space ships were repaired and built according to Zong Shou’s wishes, they wouldn’t only be used to travel through space. They would also be great weapons to siege cities.

“Out of the ten shrines, five Vast Habitats, even Great Shang, which one wouldn’t be alert and defensive?”

Zhang Huai specifically said these words to use the mouths of the people here to calm down those sects and factions.

Using the power of the outer region to strengthen Gantian Mountain?

Renbo was tempted. He wasn’t a corrupted Confucian and wouldn’t care about those theories about focusing too much on troops. As long as Gantian Mountain was able to obtain benefits, then it was okay.

Only where would the money used to repair these space ships come from?

Did the ruler have a plan?

However, Zong Shou smiled, speaking with some bad intentions, “I heard that the sects in the world have many hidden collections. If I borrow from them or directly invest do you think it would work?”

Renbo was frowning and planning where to take out money and which parts could be saved.

At this moment, when he heard that he exclaimed, filled with shock.

Not only him, even Hu Zhongyuan and the others in the hall were at a loss. There was actually such a method?

It was inconceivable but thinking about it, it did seem feasible. They could not only loan from the sects but from people too.

Now what they needed to worry about was whether conquering the outer regions would bring them any returns? Would they be able to obtain enough riches to pay it back?

Zhang Huai was slightly shocked and looked up.

He only felt that this Ruler was a really wise one.

This plan was not just a loan, there were deeper intentions.

However, why didn’t the end Realm experts of the Cloud Desolate Era predict such a person who could be compared to the ancient Saint Emperor?

At this moment, Renbo thought about something, “Oh right! A few days ago the Great Shang envoy rushed me several times. When is Ruler planning to send troops?”

Zong Shou instantly felt his head hurt. He nearly forgot about this matter.

※※※※

Just as Zong Shou was worrying at the peak of Gantian Mountain, Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat was silent and cold.

Also a Vast Habitat but different from the peaceful atmosphere of Common People Path, this place was a world of the sword; everywhere, all over, it was a desolate land stuck full of all kinds of swords.

Even the mountains and rocks gave off a sharp aura.

The main body of the Vast Habitat was a mountain which was called the Sword Chasing Mountain. It was thirty thousand feet tall standing upright, high and dangerous like a long sword stuck into the ground.

At the peak of the mountain, within a stone hall, Feng Taiji was sitting down with no expression. Beside him was his Senior Brother Ruotao. He was also expressionless, showing no emotions at all.

At this moment, not only were dozens of Elders from the Sword Sect sitting there, but there were also many Ten Thousand Sword Sect disciples seated.

Occasionally there would be gazes who looked over. Interrogation, awe, floating, mocking, pity.

Feng Taiji knew that most of the gazes were for him. Although he didn’t show a change in expression, emotions were raging in his heart.

Such a feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom of a cliff didn’t feel good.

This was probably what Senior Brother Ruotao felt a few months ago. At that time, he was indeed a little too delighted.

Thinking about this, he laughed bitterly. It was said that the agreement between Sword Sect and Common People Pathway was that they each select one between Tanqiu and him.

At this moment, Tanqiu had defeated Jueyu and was the third of the six Pinnacle Swords. He was smashed during the Yin Dragon canyon battle.

Although this person who was said to be the Sword Emperor had never displayed to others his ability to merge spirit and martial arts., he didn’t dare to underestimate anyone, especially a top swordsman who defeated Leidong.
