Chapter 467 : Founding Nations in Untamed Lands

Yet, after a moment's contemplation, Eldrin Chen shook his head once more. "With our current strength, attempting to pioneer a new continent would still be insufficient."

"I understand that as well."

Yvonne the Violet Consort nodded, yet a faint smile graced her lips as she continued. "Although the territories we now hold are vast, they are all untamed wilderness, untouched for countless eons."

"It will require at least several centuries of effort to develop them to a foundational level, meeting the prerequisites for establishing a nation and founding a continent."

"By that time, I trust you will have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Formally founding a nation and continent then should pose no difficulty."

Yvonne the Violet Consort laid out her plan in a measured, thoughtful tone.

Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal also revealed a smile, then stated calmly, "Establishing a continent is not yet fitting, but we can first found a nation."

After listening to their words, a flicker of understanding passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes. Regardless of whether the Demonic Tribe acknowledged it or not, the three Fifth Rank Spirit Vein were now firmly under their control.

In the coming years, they could mobilize their forces and, relying on these Spirit Mountain one by one, gradually develop these cultivation nations. Ultimately, founding a nation and establishing a continent would be the natural, inevitable outcome.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "Then let us deliberate on the division of national borders." Visit http://www . audio-novel.com to enjoy the complete series.

"Very well," he agreed.

Yvonne the Violet Consort [a powerful female cultivator] smiled, her beautiful eyes glinting. After some discussion, the group swiftly delineated the national borders.

According to their division, the territory under the control of the Chen Immortal Clan [a prominent clan of cultivators] was named Chen Nation, the domain founded by Yvonne the Violet Consort became Yvonne Nation, and Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal [a cultivator known for her ethereal grace] established the Ling Nation Cultivation World.

The Great Kun River served as the boundary between Chen Nation and Ling Nation, while Yvonne Nation was separated from both Chen Nation and Ling Nation by the Violet Abyss Mountain Range.

Once the borders were settled, Chen Nation stood dominant, encompassing five vast Demon King [a powerful demonic ruler] territories: the Heaven's Ruin Province, Earth Lion Province, Savage Ox Ancient Plains, Crimson Scorpion Ridge, and the Heavenly Boat Mountain Range.

In addition, it claimed one-third of the Great Kun River and the sprawling, million-Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] domain of the Azure Lotus Continent.

Considering the Chen Clan's Deep-Seated Foundation [its core power base and ancestral lands] lay within Yu County, Eldrin Chen made the decision to incorporate the Bianzhou Cultivation World into Chen Nation as well.

After the division was complete, Eldrin Chen realized that the territory held by Chen Nation was now fully twice as large as the entire Chu Kingdom.

With their domains apportioned, Lyra Jiang remarked with a smile, "If we count the Great Kun River and the Violet Abyss Mountain Range, we have increased the total land of the Ji Continent by sixty to seventy percent."

"Developing such an immense territory will be no simple task," she added.

Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal shook his head with a bitter smile. Developing a nation required not only a vast amount of manpower but also a long and arduous stretch of time.

As far back as two Millennium ago, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World was still a barren wasteland, teeming with nearly countless Demonic Beast [monstrous creatures that absorb spiritual energy for cultivation].

The prosperity seen today was only achieved through the relentless pioneering efforts of generations of cultivators over those two Millennium, a process that undoubtedly claimed the lives of innumerable Demonic Monsters [malevolent beings that cultivate through destructive or corrupt means].

Nowadays, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World harbors almost no Demonic Beast above the Foundation Establishment [the second major stage of cultivation, where one solidifies their spiritual foundation] realm. For low-level cultivators seeking to slay Demonic Beast to earn Spirit Stone [a mineral that stores and radiates spiritual energy, used as currency and for cultivation], they must cross the Heaven's Ruin Mountain Range and venture into the Heaven's Ruin Province or the Earth Lion Province.

Contemplating the difficulties of developing new territory, Yvonne the Violet Consort [a powerful cultivator known as the Violet Consort] blinked her beautiful eyes. "I must return first to arrange for my disciples to begin the reclamation work. I shall not linger further."

"Then I shall not overstay my welcome either," Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal said with a gentle smile.

After seeing them off, Eldrin Chen summoned the Golden Core Cultivator [cultivators who have formed a Golden Core, the fourth major stage] from both his clan and the Heaven's Ruin Sect.

It was not long before Old Patriarch [the venerable elder of the Chen Clan], Kael Chen, and the other Golden Core cultivators had all gathered at the Azure Lotus Continent.

Elara Lin had been exceptionally busy lately, having just returned from clearing Demonic Tribe [organized groups of demonic beings] from a Spirit Mountain [a mountain rich in spiritual energy] in the Savage Ox Ancient Plains. Seeing the cultivators from the Chen Clan and Lyra Jiang's lineage assembled, she inquired curiously, "For what matter has Master summoned us?"

Lyra Jiang motioned for everyone to be seated before speaking in a measured tone. "We have already discussed with Violet Consort True Lord and Lingxu the Ethereal Lord and have decided to establish a new cultivation nation."

"To establish a nation..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present revealed expressions of joy.

Eldrin Chen also nodded and said, "The reason I have gathered you all today is precisely to discuss the matter of establishing a nation."

The primary purpose of this gathering was to allocate the Spirit Mountain [a mountain imbued with concentrated spiritual energy, ideal for cultivation] within the territory of Chen Nation, and also to find more cultivators to assist in developing the Chen Nation Cultivation World.

Currently, the number of Chen Clan Cultivators has surpassed eighty thousand, yet for establishing such a vast cultivation nation, this manpower is still far from sufficient.

Furthermore, a significant portion of the Chen Clan's personnel are occupied managing shops across Ji Continent, procuring Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements] for Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang.

Therefore, to successfully establish a new cultivation nation, they still need to attract more cultivators to settle in Chen Nation and take root there for generations to come.

Observing their expressions, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Currently, within the Savage Ox Ancient Plains, we still have three unassigned Fourth Rank Spirit Mountain: the Crimson Scorpion Ridge, the Savage Ox Ancient Plains itself, and the Heavenly Boat Mountain Range."

"I intend to offer these three Fourth Rank Spirit Mountain for sale at half price to Golden Core Cultivator [cultivators who have formed a Golden Core, a solidified mass of spiritual energy within the dantian], encouraging them to settle within the Chen Nation Cultivation World."

"As for Third Rank Spirit Vein [a subterranean current of concentrated spiritual energy that nourishes the land above], any Purple Mansion [the realm where a cultivator opens a spiritual mansion within their body] family willing to relocate their entire clan here can purchase them at thirty percent of the standard price."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Setting aside Heaven's Ruin Province and Earth Lion Province for a moment, Chen Nation was a barren wasteland. Surviving within its borders carried a far greater risk of danger compared to settled inland regions like Chu Kingdom.

Yet, peril and opportunity are two sides of the same coin. The chance to purchase a Spirit Vein [a natural conduit of spiritual energy crucial for cultivation] for a mere thirty percent of its usual price was a deal most Cultivation Clan [a family or lineage dedicated to the practice of cultivation arts] would consider a tremendous windfall.

Furthermore, although Chen Nation teemed with countless savage beasts, the Golden Core Demon King [a demonic beast that has reached the Golden Core stage of power] had already fled. While the great demons of the Purple Mansion Realm [the third major stage of cultivation, where one forms a spiritual mansion within] were formidable, they also represented a vital source for Foundation Establishment Pill [a pill that aids in solidifying one's cultivation foundation].

For those who could survive, the annual yield from slaying Demonic Beast [monstrous creatures that have absorbed spiritual energy, often hostile to cultivators] alone would far surpass the profits gained from painstakingly managing Spirit Farmland [fields enriched with spiritual energy to grow special crops] and shops back in Chu Kingdom.

With this thought in mind, Chen Thalion spoke up. "The battle at Demonic Ape Mountain left Xavier Xu's physical body utterly destroyed. The Xu Clan has suffered a grievous loss."

"He is now over six hundred years old, and his cultivation has only reached the Golden Core, 4th Tier [the fourth major stage of cultivation, forming a golden spiritual core]. Once he reconstructs his fleshly form, his path forward will likely be severed."

"We should grant them a Fourth Rank Spirit Mountain [a mountain imbued with a fourth-tier concentration of spiritual energy] as a reward."

"Xavier Xu?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly, a sigh passing through his heart.

The recent war had been one of unprecedented brutality. Even the Golden Core Cultivator [practitioners who have reached the Golden Core stage] of the Chen Clan, watching each other's backs, had paid a heavy price. How much worse, then, for the Xu Immortal Clan, whose Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental stability and depth of one's cultivated power] was far more shallow.

This time, Xavier Xu's physical body was destroyed. He should have entered the Nirvana Pool [a mystical pool capable of reconstructing a cultivator's physical form] of the Ji Clan to rebuild his flesh. However, the Ji Clan's Nirvana Pool is currently being used by a certain True Lord [a title for a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm] and is temporarily unavailable for outsiders.

Even Lior Chen had to use a Nirvana Pill [a rare pill that can restore a destroyed physical body] to recover his body. Naturally, Xavier Xu currently has no means to obtain the treasure needed to reconstruct his own form.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen said, "Then let us grant Crimson Scorpion Ridge as a reward, bestowing it upon his Xu Clan."

Chen Thalion nodded and spoke again, "Our clan currently has no more Nirvana Pill. Now that we possess a Fifth Rank Spirit Vein [a high-grade source of spiritual energy], if an opportunity arises in the future, we should begin preparations to craft our own Nirvana Pool."

"A Nirvana Pool..."

Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with thought. Typically, long-established Nascent Soul Immortal Clan [powerful clans led by Nascent Soul realm cultivators] would undertake the creation of a Nirvana Pool. This novel is serialized on audio . novel . com. Visit for updates.
