“Greetings, Senior Brother Dragon Sea!” Ye Tian spoke politely.
He had already recognized the identity of the True Monarch before him. This was a personal disciple his master, Dao Ancestor Void Sky, had taken in a long time ago. Dragon Sea had been cultivating for an extensive period and was currently at the peak of the True Spirit Realm. He only needed to fully comprehend and perfect one of the great Daos to break through to the Grand Dao Realm and become a True Ancestor.
Moreover, according to what Ye Tian knew, Senior Brother Dragon Sea had slain more than one True Ancestor. His combat strength was formidable, and he ranked highly even in chaos, standing as the second among the True Monarchs of the Void Sky Lineage.
As for the top-ranking True Monarch, they had long been adventuring in the chaos and had become unreachable.
“Oh, I didn’t expect Junior Brother Ye Tian to know me!” True Monarch Dragon Sea said in mild surprise.
“Senior Brother Dragon Sea’s fame is so widespread that I, as your junior, naturally heard about it long ago!” Ye Tian quickly replied.
“Junior Brother, many disciples of the Void Sky Lineage have arrived, and there are matters to attend to. We can chat more later, but for now, let’s first settle everyone.” True Monarch Dragon Sea said.
“Alright!” Ye Tian nodded.
Immediately, he began arranging accommodations for the many True Monarchs.While the Void Sky Hall alone could accommodate them, it would be too cramped. Moreover, the territory that the Void Sky Hall controlled was vast, so there was no need for everyone to squeeze into one place.
Thus, magnificent palaces landed on the many Starry Sky Continents in the area.
The disciples of the Void Sky Lineage, the War God Tower, the Immortal Gate, the Mercenary Alliance, the Giant Axe City, and the Myriad Gods Sect—countless top-tier forces—all had True Monarchs enter the quasi-Dao Realm. Each of these top forces sent millions, and some even dispatched over a hundred million True Monarchs.
Though the influx of millions upon millions of True Monarchs into the quasi-Dao Realm seemed overwhelming, it still barely caused a ripple.
At the same time, the names on the True Monarch Ranking of the Ancestral Stele were completely replaced. The True Monarchs who had previously occupied the list vanished, replaced by a new batch of True Monarchs.
Every one of these True Monarchs had been at the pinnacle of the True Monarch stage for countless ages, with each possessing the battle prowess to slay a True Ancestor.
…
Within the Void Sky Hall.
After the many True Monarchs had settled in, Ye Tian finally had time to chat privately with True Monarch Dragon Sea.
“Junior Brother, before entering the quasi-Dao Realm, Master mentioned you to me several times, praising you repeatedly!” True Monarch Dragon Sea said with a smile.
“Senior Brother Dragon Sea is the impressive one, ranked eighteenth on the True Monarch Ranking and a half-step into the Grand Dao Realm!” Ye Tian responded humbly.
After some more casual conversation…
Ye Tian suddenly asked, “Senior Brother Dragon Sea, this time, the major forces have each dispatched at least tens of millions of True Monarchs into the quasi-Dao Realm. Why is this? It seems like they’ve sent nearly half of their True Monarchs!”
True Monarch Dragon Sea’s expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly, “Master didn’t reveal too many details, but he did say that there are many opportunities in the quasi-Dao Realm. If this quasi-Dao Realm ascends to become a full-fledged Dao Realm, it will surpass other realms.
That’s why the top forces have sent so many True Monarchs here. It’s even said that once this Dao Realm is established, a large number of True Ancestors will enter, and the competition will be far fiercer than in ordinary Dao Realms! According to my estimation, there might be something in this quasi-Dao Realm that could even attract a Dao Ancestor!”
“Something that can attract Dao Ancestors…”
Ye Tian was quite surprised. Even the Ancestral Stele held no allure for Dao Ancestors, yet this future Dao Realm would give rise to something that could? However, this seemed highly likely. Otherwise, Dao Ancestors wouldn’t have personally arranged for so many True Monarchs to enter the quasi-Dao Realm—it was clear they had discovered something significant.
“Junior Brother, in a while, the Void Sky Hall will establish the Void Sky True Nation. At that time, we will assign your Human Race a relatively good territory.
Once the True Nation is successfully established, it will be much more difficult for other forces to invade, and your Human Race will be much safer.
Additionally, every True Monarch will be given their own territory, becoming a lord. You can use the territory’s power to cultivate and fight enemies,” True Monarch Dragon Sea explained.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Dragon Sea!” Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.
He was quite curious about the True Nation, knowing that once it was established, it would form a True Nation barrier, isolating itself from the outside world as if it had become a new realm.
Thus, establishing a True Nation brought only benefits, with no downsides.
Moreover, within the True Nation, all living beings would enjoy the nation’s destiny. The stronger one was, the more destiny they would receive. Once one became a True Ancestor, they could even use the True Nation to connect with the Ancestral Stele, gaining the qualification to compete for a spot on the Ancestral Stele’s Harmony List.
While Ye Tian wasn’t particularly interested in the Ancestral Stele’s list, if the True Nation were established and the Human Race obtained territory, with the protection of that land, incidents like the previous sudden attacks on the Human Race would nearly cease.
In the days that followed, the Void Sky Hall became busy, preparing for the construction of the True Nation.
Building a True Nation not only required a True Nation Core but also countless resources and materials. True Monarch Dragon Sea and the others had brought the True Nation Core along with many materials, but they still lacked some resources from within the quasi-Dao Realm—specifically, certain innate origin objects from the realm.
These innate origin objects were an indispensable part of the quasi-Dao Realm, without which it would be difficult to form a true nation.
Not only were countless True Monarchs from the Void Sky Hall collecting innate origin objects, but other forces were also doing the same.
In the past, these innate origin objects might have been rare, but the quasi-Dao Realm now had an abundance of them. It was easy to find low-grade ones.
The resources here were so abundant that they even surpassed those of some Dao Realms. Furthermore, many entirely new resources, unseen in the outside world, were discovered here. Many True Monarchs who had been reluctant to enter the quasi-Dao Realm were now delighted, claiming it was well worth the journey.
In the blink of an eye, decades passed.
On this day, the Void Sky Hall had finally gathered all the materials. With the combined efforts of tens of millions of True Monarchs, the True Nation was built in just a few days. Without so many people, it would have taken at least tens of thousands of years to complete.
Boom!!!!!
Centered around the Void Sky Hall, the boundless territory condensed into a single realm, isolating itself from the surrounding territories.
In this newly formed realm, the chaos yuan qi continually gathered at the center, turning the region around the Void Sky Hall into a vast ocean of chaos yuan qi. Palaces floated above this ocean of energy.
Here, just taking a breath allowed one to absorb an immense amount of chaos yuan qi. If one merely wanted to increase their cultivation, there was no need to use any other resources—just relying on the chaos yuan qi alone was enough to rapidly enhance one’s cultivation.
It was clear that this place had become a true holy land for cultivation.
With the formation of the Void Sky True Nation, True Monarchs began dividing up the territories. Despite there being tens of millions of True Monarchs, there was no shortage of land in the massive True Nation.
Naturally, the Human Race occupied an extensive area. If it weren’t for Ye Tian’s prestigious status, it would have been difficult to secure so much land.
Though some True Monarchs were displeased, under True Monarch Dragon Sea’s overwhelming suppression, they didn’t dare voice their dissent, allowing Ye Tian and the Human Race to share in a vast territory.
Ye Tian was also appointed as the lord of a large territory within the Void Sky True Nation, governing the entire Human Race and part of the nation’s destiny.
At this moment, by borrowing the True Nation’s destiny and power, Ye Tian could even double his combat strength.
