Strategies for Founding a Nation
However, after a moment, Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said, "With our current strength, we are still not strong enough to open up new continents."
"I understand that."
Yan Ziji nodded, then smiled and said, "Although the territory we occupy now is vast, it is all barren land that has not been cultivated for countless years."
"It will take at least several hundred years to complete the initial development and meet the conditions for establishing a nation and opening up the continent."
"During this time, you must have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. At that point, formally establishing a nation and continent should not be a problem."
Yan Ziji explained her plan in detail.
Lingxu Fairy smiled and said calmly, "Establishing a continent is not yet appropriate, but we can establish a nation first."
After listening to them, Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Regardless of whether the Demon Race admitted it or not, the three Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein were now under their control.
During this period, they mobilized manpower and relied on the Spirit Mountain to gradually develop these cultivation kingdoms, and the eventual establishment of nations and continents was simply a natural outcome.
With this in mind, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "Then let's discuss the demarcation of the national border."
"Good."
Yan Ziji smiled, and after a brief discussion, the group quickly demarcated the national border.
According to their division, the kingdom controlled by the Chen Immortal Clan was named the Chen Kingdom, the kingdom established by Yan Ziji was named the Yan Kingdom, and Lingxu Fairy founded the Ling Kingdom's cultivation Immortal Realm.
The border between the Chen Kingdom and Ling Kingdom is the Great Kun River, while Yan Kingdom is separated from the Chen Kingdom and Ling Kingdom by the Purple Abyss Mountain Range.
After the boundaries were defined, the Chen Kingdom dominated five vast Demon King territories: Heavenly Ruins Continent, Earth Lion Province, Savage Bull Ancient Plains, Crimson Scorpion Ridge, and Heavenly Boat Mountain Range.
In addition, there is the Great Kun River, which covers one-third of the land, and the Azure Lotus Isle Continent, which spans over a million miles.
Considering that the Chen Clan's foundation was all in Yu Commandery, Chen Nianzhi simply took the initiative to include the cultivation Immortal Realm of Border Province within the Chen Kingdom.
After the division was completed, Chen Nianzhi discovered that the territory occupied by the Chen Kingdom was twice as large as that of the Chu Kingdom.
After the group divided up the territory, Jiang Linglong said with a smile, "If we include the Great Kun River and the Purple Abyss Mountain Range, we have increased Ji Continent's territory by sixty or seventy percent."
"Developing such a vast territory is no easy task."
Lingxu Fairy shook her head and smiled wryly. To develop a kingdom, not only would a large number of people be needed, but also a long period of time.
Two thousand years ago, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World was a barren land, inhabited by countless demonic Demon Beast.
The prosperity we enjoy today is the result of the continuous efforts of generations of cultivators over the past two thousand years, during which countless demons and monsters have been slain.
Nowadays, there are almost no Demon Beast above the Foundation Establishment in the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World. Even if low-level cultivators want to kill Demon Beast to earn Spirit Stone, they have to cross the Heavenly Ruins Mountain Range and enter Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province.
Thinking of the difficulties in developing the territory, Yan Ziji's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. "I have to go back first and arrange for my disciples to start reclaiming the land, so I won't stay any longer."
"Then I won't stay any longer," Lingxu Fairy said with a smile.
After seeing the two off, Chen Nianzhi summoned the Golden Core realm cultivators from her Lineage and the Heavenly Ruins Sect.
Not long after, the Old Clan Leader and Chen Nianchuan and other Golden Core realm cultivators Azure Lotus Isle.
Lin Qianshu had been very busy lately. She had just returned from clearing out the Demon Race Spirit Mountain in the Savage Bull Ancient Plains. Seeing the cultivators from the Chen Clan and Jiang Linglong's lineage gathered together, she asked curiously, "Why did Master summon us?"
Jiang Linglong asked everyone to sit down before slowly saying, "We have already discussed with Purple Ji True Lord and Lingxu True Lord about establishing a new cultivation kingdom."
"To establish a kingdom..."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of joy.
Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "I have gathered you all here today to discuss the matter of establishing a kingdom."
The main purpose of this gathering is to allocate the Spirit Mountain within the territory of the Chen Kingdom, and also to find more cultivators to assist in establishing the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Chen Kingdom.
The Chen Clan now has over 80,000 cultivators, but this number is still far from enough to establish a vast cultivation kingdom.
Moreover, the Chen Clan has a large number of people who are used to run shops in the Ji Continent and to acquire the Five Elements Essence for Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong.
Therefore, if they want to establish a new cultivation kingdom, they need to find more cultivators to come to the Chen Kingdom and settle down there generation after generation.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Chen Nianzhi said, "We are currently in the Savage Bull Ancient Plains, and there are also three unassigned Tier 4 Spirit Mountain: the Crimson Scorpion Ridge, the Savage Bull Ancient Plains, and the Heavenly Boat Mountain Range."
"I plan to take out these three Tier 4 Spirit Mountain and sell them to Golden Core realm cultivators at half price, so that they can settle down in the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Chen Kingdom."
"As for third-tier Spirit Vein, as long as an entire Purple Mansion clan migrates here, we can sell them to them at 30% of the price."
Everyone nodded. Putting aside Heavenly Ruins Province and Earth Lion Province, Chen Kingdom was a barren land. The possibility of encountering danger in this territory was far greater than in the inland Chu Kingdom.
However, danger and opportunity go hand in hand. To be able to buy a Spirit Vein for only 30% of the price is a huge profit for most Immortal Cultivation Family.
Moreover, although the Chen Kingdom has countless ferocious beasts, the Golden Core realm Demon King have all fled. Although the Great Demons of the Purple Mansion Realm are powerful, they are also an important source of Foundation-Building Pill.
As long as they can survive, the profits from slaying Demon Beast each year will far exceed the profits from the Chu Kingdom's hard work in managing Spirit Field and shops.
With this thought in mind, Chen Changxuan said, "In the battle at Demon Ape Mountain, Xu Ganyang's physical body was destroyed, and the Xu Clan suffered heavy losses."
"He is already over six hundred years old, and his cultivation is only at the Fourth-Layer Golden Core stage. Once his physical body is reconstructed, his Dao Path immortality will likely be cut off."
"We should also offer them a Tier 4 Spirit Mountain as a reward."
"Xu Ganyang?"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of a sigh flashed through her mind.
This battle was incredibly fierce. Even the Golden Core realm cultivators of the Chen Clan paid a heavy price for looking after each other, let alone the Xu Immortal Clan, whose foundation was shallow.
Xu Ganyang's physical body was destroyed this time, and he should have entered the Nirvana Pool of the Ji Clan to rebuild his physical body. However, the Nirvana Pool of the Ji Clan is currently being used by a certain True Lord and will not be lent to outsiders for the time being.
Even Chen Qinghao used the Nirvana Pill to restore his physical body, Xu Ganyang naturally hasn't found a treasure to reshape his physical body yet.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "Then let's bestow Crimson Scorpion Ridge as a reward upon the Xu Clan."
Chen Changxuan nodded and then said, "Now that the Lineage has run out of Nirvana Pill, and we now possess Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein, we should prepare to refine Nirvana Pool if the fortuitous opportunity arises in the future."
"Nirvana Pool..."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Generally, Nascent Soul Immortal Clan with a long history would set out to refine a Nirvana Pool.
