Chapter 831 Forty thousand years of enlightenment
Before preparing to retreat, Wang Hong ordered Luo Zhongjie to recruit another three million troops.
Great Chu Immortal Kingdom previously had a total of 3 million troops, except for some that were concentrated on Chiyan Island and Qizhou Island in the east, so as to deal with the attacks of the Desolate Race at any time.
The rest of the troops were scattered throughout the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom to maintain law and order.
Due to the huge size of the country, an army of one or two million seems to be a lot, but after being dispersed, there are actually not many people assigned to each place.
As for the source of the newly recruited troops, there are mainly two types of people. One is the captives captured when they defeated the Tiannvgong coalition forces before, and the other is the students who graduate from various schools every year.
The newly recruited army will draw part of the veterans as the backbone, with the graduates from the school as the main force, and then draw qualified monks from the previously recruited captives.
After these years of accumulation, the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom has trained a large number of students, who have been recruited to all parts of the country.
These students have received orthodox education in the school since they were young, and now their overall quality in all aspects is much better than that of ordinary sect disciples.
More importantly, these students all have a loyal heart, loyal to the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, and loyal to Wang Hong.
Let these people become the main force of the army, which is enough to guarantee the loyalty of the army in the future.
As for the captives captured in the previous alliance battle with the Tiannv Palace, Wang Hong has all been made regular after this celebration, and now they are all citizens of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.
The jobs that these captives used to do were mostly mining hard work. Now, with the development of the Ministry of Industry, they have been gradually replaced by puppets.
Now there are no miners in the mines in the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom. They are all tireless puppets who work day and night for the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom without any complaints.
While Luo Zhongjie recruited 3 million new troops and was practicing diligently, Wang Hong sat among a pile of jade slips and examined each one carefully.
Before this retreat, he had already copied all the jade slips that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom could collect, and now they are all piled up in the space.
These jade slips are varied and cover all aspects, including various cultivation methods, some skills of cultivating immortals, and some spiritual plant cultivation, monster habits and other contents that seem to have nothing to do with cultivation.
He has nothing to do at the Void Refining Realm now, but he doesn't have the skills to practice the Void Refining Realm.
The two elders of Lingyuan gave him some relevant experience, so that he has a reference, which is equivalent to a road sign on the way.
However, how to walk the road, you can only cross the river slowly by yourself.
Now he plans to read all the jade slips he can get his hands on.
With the current national power of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, at least several continents of jade slips can be collected, which is a huge amount that cannot be counted.
Wang Hong still clearly remembers Xu Lun and Liu Changsheng's surprised expressions when he arranged for them to collect all the jade slips.
Since ancient times, no one in the world of cultivating immortals had such a bold idea.
Because even a cultivator has limited time and energy, it is impossible to read all the jade slips.
In order to collect these jade slips, the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom paid a huge amount of wealth, and of course these wealth were ultimately paid by Wang Hong himself.
Wang Hong specially refined more than a dozen furnaces of high-level elixirs for this purpose, and asked his subordinates to sell them at various top auctions, and the resources exchanged were used to buy jade slips.
After reading a part of the jade slips, he would pick up the blank jade slips and engrave some insights into them.
Time flowed slowly like this, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Hong had already experienced eight thousand years in the space.
After 8,000 years of research and study, the pile of jade slips collected has been read by Wang Hong and put into the warehouse by him.
Now there are a lot of jade slips piled up beside him, all of which are his jade slips to record his sentiments. The number of these jade slips is still very large, with a total of at least 100,000 or more.
At this point, Wang Hong temporarily stopped continuing to study, and cooked a delicious meal for himself in the secret room alone.
The white fish raised in the space is steamed, sprinkled with polar shallots, it is fragrant and delicious.
Steamed venison in soy sauce, lion head mushroom soup grown in the space, stir-fried lotus root with vegetables, plus a jar of Wannianling wine.
After a delicious meal, he brewed another pot of Qiulong tea. The exhaustion that had lasted for tens of thousands of years finally dissipated, and he became refreshed again.
Re-entering the space, looking at the more than 100,000 jade slips in front of him that recorded sentiments, sat down cross-legged again, picked up a jade slip and began to study it deeply.
This time it took another five thousand years, and the contents of the more than one hundred thousand jade slips were comprehended and fused by him, turning them into seven thousand jade slips.
Wang Hong rested again for a few days, sorted out his thoughts, and then began to study and enlighten again.
After another five thousand years, the 7,000 jade slips became more than 300, and then another 4,000 years passed, and there were only 16 jade slips left in front of Wang Hong.
The last sixteen jade slips are the essence of his comprehension of all the jade slips, which lasted 22,000 years. It cannot be condensed any further.
So far, Wang Hong has accomplished a feat that no one has ever accomplished since the world of cultivating immortals.
You must know that even if a Void Refiner has a long lifespan, he can only live up to nine thousand years, but most monks cannot live to this ideal lifespan.
After all, a monk will face many adversities and dangers in his life, which will inevitably cause some trauma to the body. Over time, it will naturally affect the lifespan of a person.
What's more, ordinary cultivators are very busy, need to practice, need to find resources and other chores, and don't have much time to study these things for a long time.
So, for ordinary monks, this is an absolutely impossible task.
But Wang Hong is still not satisfied with the current sixteen jade slips, he wants to find his own way from them.
Although everything in the world looks complicated on the surface, it changes in thousands of ways and is different from each other.
But everything runs according to the most basic Tao, that is, everything has its own law of operation, and Tao is this law.
As long as you can master the Tao and this law, you can directly point to the essence of business changes through the dazzling appearance.
Unable to make progress for the time being, Wang Hong made a lot of delicious food for himself as usual, and enjoyed it for a few days. After he was in a better mood, he continued to retreat and study.
This time, another 18,000 years later, Wang Hong, who was sitting motionless in the space, was already covered by countless vines.
At this time, the eyes that had been closed for more than ten thousand years slowly opened, with indifferent eyes, as if nothing in this world could cause any more waves.
One index finger was lifted slightly, and countless mysterious runes were formed, evolved, and disillusioned. This moment seemed to have demonstrated the ultimate profound meaning in this world.
The countless vines covering his body suddenly turned into fly ash, and drifted away with a gust of wind.
