838 Rhythm And Harmony Of The Dao (1/2)

Although he was in secluded meditation, Zong Shou was still aware of what was happening outside.

Through the hundreds of Hidden Guards who Ruoshui laid out outside, they were still able to reach all about.

Although he wasn't sure about news around all corners of the world, he had a good idea of the rough situation.

He knew that to the east there were at least 7.4 million troops scattered at the border, ready in wait to explode out.

Pretty much each day that passed, there would be more soldiers who rushed over from all areas. They ranged from 30-50 thousand soldiers, succeeding in creating an endless stream of troops. They pressed over with the aura of an ocean.

”Hong Jiuchen really knows how to use troops. Who knows whether this is his own arrangement or whether it is someone else's doing?”

When armies fought wars, the way to make people yield without fighting focused on the word 'aura'.

Aura was enough to scare the enemy, using troops to bear down on the enemy to defeat them. This way of using troops was really intelligent.

Zong Shou sighed. Although he had given the people of the Seven Countries and also those nobles and aristocrats hope, it was still a worrying thing if they were able to withstand the aura of the enemy.

However, there was still some good news. The moment Zhuang Yu was appointed, he started to reorganize the troops and Generals to select elite ones.

This person had fought wars for 10 years and was never defeated. He was really famous. The Kings of the Seven Countries all cooperated, so everything went smoothly.

The second thing he did was to send his entire family, all the young and old over to Yuanjing Celestial Palace.

In doing so, he was used them as hostages as well as entrusting them to him. He let Zong Shou take care of the lives of his entire family.

Not only him, he actually convinced the Kings of the Seven Countries to do the same. They handed over the wives and parents of all the power holders and even Generals under them to the palace.

”With that, at least the heart of the military would be unified...”

The Generals were the courage of the army, if they didn't have other thoughts, then they would be willing to fight to the death.

This meant that he would be able to rely on the army! With the backline stabilized and there being no worries with replenishments, their hearts would all be unified.

Even if they couldn't win this, at least they started off in a situation where they wouldn't be immediately defeated.

With that, Zong Shou was sure that even if that Hong Jiuchen used ten million troops, he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted.

”However, this fellow really is confident!”

Zong Shou smiled.

Someone like Zhuang Yu definitely couldn't entrust the care of his family to another person.

Most probably he already had confidence in winning and being able to fend off the enemy. He was also confident that Zong Shou wouldn't do anything to his family.

Even if he lost, there would be nothing on his conscience.

When one turned their eyes to the troop arrangements, it was extremely amazing. Some places had deep meaning.

Even if he personally did it, he couldn't have done anything better.

Because he didn't know the enemy well, he might even do even worse that Zhuang Yu did.

Now he was more confident that this person was the one who blocked the God Emperor Army for a full 7 years!

This person plotted for a full 6-7 years. If he was to kill Jiujing, then the thing he had to first consider was being surrounded and attacked by the other countries.

This was why he definitely had many methods buried. Even if he didn't win, he definitely wouldn't lose.

He was fortunate to win this round!

He totally relaxed and laughed out loud several times.

His extremely nervous and tensed up emotions were loosened a little, the darkness around him dissipated.

Then, he entered meditation once more. This time he was improving in the Three Thousand Star Falling. He was in the crucial moment of comprehending the Star Dao Seeds and merging with the Dragon Pellets.

Since he arrived in Yuanlian World, only now was he able to put down everything and focus on studying and analyzing this technique.

Still using the Book of Eon to speed up time, once he went into the meditative state, a full 20 days passed. Only then did he slowly awaken.

This was the date that Tanjing and him had decided on.

If it was as expected, Hong Jiuchen would attack today.

”This Space Technique is really amazing. The faster the speed, the slower the time passes. If one is able to reach extreme speed, they would never grow old.”

”Not only speed. The size and amount of matter of an object will affect the surrounding space and time...”

Zong Shou opened his eyes and looked forward, stunned.

This was something he comprehended 3 days ago.

He only felt that the space in front of him was made up of several lines, that they were all interconnected and couldn't be separated.

All of the Daos, all the developments from which were entangled within.

The Dao word in his mind became clearer and clearer. That uncertain and illusionary feeling dissipated and he saw a clearer path.

Even the Star Dao Seeds in his soul started to change.

The positions of many stars were being shifted and corrected. There were even some invisible lines connecting one another.

A weird color appeared in Zong Shou's eyes.

”Why do the stars seem similar to the stars in the sky?”

They shouldn't have had any connection, but at this moment he noticed that there wasn't much of a difference between the two.
