Tushan Central Court's reach spread across every corner of the Western Desert.
Naturally, the first step was to build Level Three, Level Two, and Level One Teleportation Arrays based on the Spirit Veins in various places.

He only needed to use the array artifacts prefabricated by the Immortal Sect and lay them out at the Great Snow Mountain Holy Land.
The Teleportation Arrays being built in various places were enormously expensive, requiring the tax revenue of the entire Northern Plains for more than fifty years.

By then, the yellow flowers would have long gone cold.
Under such circumstances, so-called rule could not even be discussed. They could only resort to substantive enfeoffment, appointing Nascent Soul Cultivators to manage various regions on
