Chapter 467 Founding Policy of a Nation

But after a moment, Eldrin shook his head again and said, "With our current strength, it's still not enough to establish a new continent."

"I understand that as well."

Yan Zi nodded, yet replied with a gentle smile, "Though the territories we now hold are vast, they are all untamed wilderness left fallow for countless years."

It would take at least several centuries to complete the initial development and meet the requirements for establishing a nation and carving out a continent.

"In this period, I trust you have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Establishing a kingdom and founding a continent should pose no issue by then."

Yan Zi Ji spoke in a measured tone, laying out her plan in detail.

Lingxu Xianzi (Person Name) also revealed a faint smile before calmly stating, "Establishing a continent would be premature, but we can first found a kingdom."

After hearing their account, a faint glimmer stirred in Eldrin’s eyes. Whether the demon race admitted it or not, all 3 fifth-grade spirit veins were now under their control.

During this period, they allocated personnel and gradually developed these cultivation nations by relying on 1 spiritual mountain after another. Ultimately, establishing a nation and founding a province was as natural as water flowing downhill.

At that thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "Then let us discuss the demarcation of our borders."

"Good."

A smile glimmered in Yan Zijis captivating eyes. After some discussion, the group swiftly delineated their national borders.

According to the division agreed upon by the group, the nation under the control of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) was named the Chen Kingdom. The territory established by Yan Purple Princess (Person Name) became known as the Yan Kingdom, while the Transcendent Mistress of the Void (Person Name) founded the cultivation world of the Ling Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Chen and the Kingdom of Ling were divided by the Great Kun River, while the Kingdom of Yan was separated from both by the boundary of the Ziyuan Mountain Range.

After delineating the borders, the Chen Kingdom now dominated 5 vast demon sovereign territories: the Celestial Ruins Province, the Earthlion Province, the Ancient Bison Plains, the Crimson Scorpion Ridge, and the Celestial Vessel Mountain Range.

In addition, there remained 1-third of the Great Kun River and the vast territory of the Azure Lotus Province, which spanned over a million li in expanse.

Considering that the Chen Clan's foundations were all concentrated in Yu County, Eldrin made the executive decision to incorporate the Border Province cultivation world into the Kingdom of Chen as well.

After the division was complete, Eldrin discovered that the territory occupied by the Chen Kingdom had expanded to fully twice the size of the Chu Kingdom.

After dividing the territories among themselves, Lyra (Person Name) said with a light laugh, "If we include the Great Kun River and the Violet Abyss Mountains, we've already expanded the territory of Ji Province by 60 to 70 percent."

"Developing such a vast territory is no easy task."

Shaking her head with a wry smile, the Ethereal Void Fairy mused that establishing a dominion required not only a multitude of hands but also an expanse of time stretching far into the horizon.

As early as 2 1000 years ago, the cultivation world of the Chu Kingdom was still a barren wasteland, inhabited by nearly countless demonic beasts,

The prosperity we see today was forged over 2 1000 years through generations of cultivators tirelessly expanding our realms—a process that required vanquishing countless demons and monsters.

Nowadays, the cultivation world of the Chu Kingdom scarcely harbors demonic beasts above the Foundation Establishment stage. Even low-level cultivators seeking to slay such creatures to earn spirit stones must cross the Celestial Ruins Mountain range to reach Tianxu Zhou (Location) and Dishizhou (Location).

Considering the difficulties of developing the territory, a glimmer crossed Yan Zijis captivating eyes. "I must return first to dispatch my disciples for the reclamation efforts," she said. "I shan't linger any longer."

"Then I shall not detain you further." Immortal Lingxu replied with a gentle smile.

After seeing off the 2, Eldrin summoned the Golden Core cultivators from both his clan and the Heavenly Ruins Sect.

Before long, Old Patriarch and Kael (Person Name) along with other Golden Cores had all gathered at Green Lotus Isle.

Elara had been quite busy of late. Having just returned from cleansing the spirit mountains of the demon tribes in the Bison Ancient Plains, she noticed cultivators from the Chen family and Lyra's lineage gathered together. Curiosity piqued, she inquired, "For what matter has our Master summoned us all?"

Lyra (Person Name) motioned for everyone to be seated before speaking with measured composure, "We have deliberated with True Monarch Violet Enchantress and True Monarch Ethereal Void, and have resolved to establish a new nation for cultivating immortality."

Forging a Kingdom...

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Eldrin also nodded and said, "I have gathered you all today to discuss the matter of establishing our own kingdom."

The primary purpose of summoning everyone this time is to allocate the spiritual mountains within Chen Kingdom's territory, as well as to recruit more cultivators to assist in pioneering Chen Kingdom's cultivation realm.

Now, the number of cultivators in the Chen Clan had already surpassed 80,000, yet to establish a vast immortal cultivation nation, these hands were still far from sufficient.

Moreover, the Chen Clan had a large number of personnel dedicated to managing shops across Ji Province, purchasing the 5 Elements' Essence for Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name).

Thus, they still intended to establish a new cultivation nation, necessitating the recruitment of more cultivators to Chen Kingdom and ensuring their roots would endure through generations.

Observing their expressions, Eldrin spoke, "Currently, we have 3 unassigned fourth-order spirit mountains within the Ancient Bison Plains—specifically the Scarlet Scorpion Ridge and the Heavenly Vessel Mountain Range."

"I intend to offer these 3 fourth-tier spirit mountains at a 50 percent discount to Golden Core cultivators, allowing them to establish their roots within the Chen Kingdom's cultivation world."

"As for third-order spirit veins, as long as a Purple Mansion family relocates here, we can sell them at 30 percent of the market price."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Setting aside Tianxu Province and Earth Lion Province, Chen Country was practically a barren wasteland. Surviving in these territories meant facing dangers far exceeding those in inland regions like the Chu Kingdom.

Yet peril and opportunity always coexist. Being able to purchase a spirit vein at merely 30% of its true value was an immensely profitable deal for the vast majority of cultivation families.

Moreover, although countless ferocious beasts roamed the Chen Kingdom, the Golden Core demon kings had already fled. While the Purple Mansion realm monsters were formidable, they also served as crucial sources of Foundation Establishment Pills (Spiritual Object).

As long as he could survive, the annual gains from slaying demonic beasts would far exceed the earnings from painstakingly managing spirit fields and shops in the Chu Kingdom.

At this thought, Chen Changxuan spoke up, "In the battle of the Demon Ape Mountain, Xavier's (Person Name) physical body was destroyed. The Xu family can be said to have suffered heavy losses."

He was now over 6 100 years of age, yet his cultivation had only reached the Golden Core, 4th Tier (Cultivation Realm). Once his physical form was remolded, his path toward the Dao would likely be severed.

"We should also offer them a Fourth-Order Spirit Mountain as their reward."

"Xavier (Person Name)?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, a faint sigh flashing through his heart.

The great battle was exceptionally brutal and devastating. Even the Chen Clan's Golden Core cultivators, who were watching each other's backs, paid a heavy price, let alone the Xu Immortal Clan, whose foundation was shallow.

This time, Xavier's physical body was destroyed. He should have entered the Ji Clan's Nirvana Pool to reconstruct his body, but the pool is currently being used by a certain True Monarch and will not be lent to outsiders for the time being.

Even Lior had to use a Nirvana Elixir to restore his physical form, so it was only natural that Xavier still hadn’t found any treasure to reconstruct his own body.

At this thought, Eldrin declared, "Then let the Crimson Scorpion Ridge be bestowed as a reward upon the Xu Clan."

Chen Changxuan nodded and spoke again, "Our clan no longer possesses any Nirvana Rebirth Pills. Now that we have acquired a fifth-order spirit vein, should fortune favor us in the future, we ought to begin preparations for refining the Nirvana Rebirth Pool."

Nirvana Pool...

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. It was common for long-established Nascent Soul immortal families to begin refining a Nirvana Pool.
