Yi Chen tested fifty-six types of Spirit Mine and found materials useful for storing spiritual supplies and binding enemies. He melted all thirty-two Space Stones together, unaware that the Various Races believed doing so ruined them, while their intelligence agents watched in anticipation.

• Yi Chen melted all thirty-two Space Stones together while intelligence agents from the Various Races watched, believing he had ruined them.

• Yi Chen reforged the Spirit Sword and Flying Magic Treasure, making both able to change size, though the stone house still could not accommodate living beings in an expanded interior.

Yi Chen cultivated until he reached Heart Tribulation Stage Fifth Level, then reviewed the General Political Department’s proposal to move the tribe and reorganize it as the Great Flame Kingdom. The proposal presented two possible sites and a sweeping plan for government, laws, and social reforms, leaving Yi Chen to consider the recommendations.

• Yi Chen packed away high-grade Spirit Mines and expanded his Flying Magic Treasure, but gave up trying to store it in his Qi Sea using the Space Law.

• Yi Chen reviewed a Migration and Reform Plan explaining that population growth, food production, and limited space made moving the tribe necessary.
• The General Political Department proposed relocating to either a great grassland or a vast plain, renaming the tribe the Great Flame Kingdom, and introducing new laws, departments, and noble ranks; the plan was signed by Zhong Ren and Feng Yue.

Yi Chen considered the General Political Department’s migration and reform plan and decided it largely matched his interests. He summoned the High Priest, Zhong Ren, and Feng Yue, leaving the three officials waiting outside his stone house with very different expectations.

Yi Chen reviewed the Flame Mountain Tribe’s migration and reform plan, approving it with major changes to the Royal City and nobility system. Zhong Ren and Feng Yue left without challenging his decisions, while the High Priest became the only noble granted a title for now.

• Yi Chen agreed to the migration plan but ordered the Royal City moved to a new site and expanded tenfold, despite Zhong Ren and Feng Yue warning of the costs.
• Yi Chen ordered territories and privileges added to the nobility system, then canceled the proposed list of titleholders and temporarily granted the High Priest the title of Baron.
• Yi Chen ordered hereditary titles to drop one rank every three generations, prompting Zhong Ren and Feng Yue to regret not voicing their concerns earlier.
• Yi Chen told Zhong Ren and Feng Yue to implement the rest of their plan and dismissed them.

After Yi Chen approved Zhong Ren and Feng Yue’s Migration and Reform Plan, the High Priest worried that the General Political Department’s expansion would weaken his authority. Lou Xing concluded that the High Priest’s special standing with Yi Chen would make him increasingly valuable as the tribe’s power struggles developed.

• Lou Xing explained that the High Priest’s title and relationship with Yi Chen showed that Yi Chen valued him, even as other leaders might also receive titles later.
• Lou Xing predicted that Zhong Ren and Feng Yue would compete for influence in the enlarged decision-making circle, making the High Priest’s vote and access to Yi Chen more important.
• Lou Xing reasoned that Yi Chen used the High Priest to issue unpopular policies, so the High Priest could afford to make minor mistakes and follow his own inclinations.

Yi Chen broke through to a new Great Realm while cultivating inside his flying treasure, and the aura of his breakthrough reached the Flame Mountain Tribe.

• Remembering Lou Xing’s advice to borrow Yi Chen’s authority, the High Priest knelt at the doorway and ordered the six Deputy General Presidents to join him in offering congratulations.
• Fearing the consequences of refusing, Zhong Ren and the other five Deputy General Presidents knelt behind the High Priest, who resolved to use the tactic again if they challenged him.
