Of course, it’s actually just Ye Luo overthinking!

The family of the Emperor has long been extinct, perhaps some servants survived, but they wouldn’t know Ye Luo.

After all, Ye Luo only possesses the Emperor’s bloodline now and hasn’t awakened it!

Even if it awakens?

The Emperor’s servants, at the very least, should be from the Fourth Region. Why would they care about Ye Luo from the mere Ninth Region!

All this is really because Fang Yun has always been ignored by Ye Luo!

After Ye Luo left, Fang Yun found Liu Kun and Jianli. Fang Yun knew their intentions, especially since Liu Kun was willing to give Ye Luo the Wandering Dragon ring.

Fang Yun was naturally pleased with this result, and also worried that the two might expose themselves after spending too much time with Ye Luo, so they were sent to the Destiny Sect!

That’s why Ye Luo couldn’t contact them!

Only this secret, Ye Luo might not know for a long, long time!

The Wandering Dragon ring, it seemed like a dream, just suddenly appeared in Ye Luo’s hands!

Time slipped by, and Ye Luo kept arranging the merger of the two empires, while also studying the newly acquired elixir formulas and the Sword Cultivation Technique given by Jianli!

Unconsciously, a year had passed!

Of course, a year in the Martial Realm doesn’t actually mean much.

However, due to Ye Luo’s reasonable arrangements, Da Yue and Great Tang finally completed the merger!

So Ye Luo naturally started preparing to expand his forces to the Eighth Region!

In fact, given Ye Luo’s strength, he should have gone to the Eighth Region long ago. He simply hadn’t gone yet.

This year of enlightenment, Ye Luo’s cultivation hadn’t progressed much, but his strength improved a lot, and he gained many more techniques.

Especially in his understanding of the Wandering Dragon ring, he learned a great deal!

After all, Ao Long knows about the Wandering Dragon ring.

The Wandering Dragon ring can be considered a ring, or a special life.

However, according to Ao Long, the Wandering Dragon ring was sealed and reforged, erasing all previous memories.

So the Wandering Dragon ring now mainly relies on Ye Luo to research various techniques.

After all, its previous techniques are already forgotten!

And during this time, Ao Long, for some unknown reason, was willing to teach the Wandering Dragon ring some techniques!

Ye Luo could only smile wryly; their friendship was evidently great, yet Ao Long taught nothing to Ye Luo and instead imparted several things to the Wandering Dragon ring!

Ye Luo was equally frustrated, and he couldn’t help it. According to Ao Long, since the Wandering Dragon ring is considered a dragon, it’s not against clan rules for Ao Long to teach it!

Ye Luo’s frustration was pointless. Who said Ye Luo was not of the Dragon Clan? Even having a Dragon Transformation and possessing Dragon Origin, he’s still not of the Dragon Clan!

Finally, Ye Luo made all preparations and planned to head to the Eighth Region!

The two empires are now on track, with the cooperation of the Princess, Princess Yu, Nalan Rou, Feng Ling, Man Niu, and Yun Liancheng becoming more and more seamless, allowing Ye Luo peace of mind here!

Fortunately, the Eighth Region and Ninth Region are merely restricted by boundaries. Ye Luo can come and go freely; even if he goes to the Eighth Region, he can return at any time.

The development of the Great Wilderness continues, originally Ye Luo intended to leave Ao Long, but Ao Long’s temperament wasn’t something Ye Luo could arrange.

Thus, leading three hundred elites meticulously selected from both empires, Ye Luo embarked on the journey to the Eighth Region!

The last time he married Feng Ling was more of a leisure trip, but this time, Ye Luo truly aimed to advance into the Eighth Region!

Moreover, Ye Luo must carve out the skies in the Eighth Region, establish a foundation so that people from Great Tang and Da Yue can develop there!

As long as forces in lower regions reach a certain level, they move towards higher regions.

When forces in higher regions decline, they hide in lower regions. This is common knowledge and a convention in the Martial Realm, so Ye Luo’s departure isn’t considered shocking, rather a normal event.

Of course, someone was there to pick Ye Luo up when he arrived!

Both Great Tang Empire and Da Yue Empire have connections with the Eighth Region.

Thus, naturally, Ye Luo hitched a convenient ride this time!

Three hundred people isn’t a large group, but these people were selectively picked by Ye Luo; each one is very young and talented, deserving of Ye Luo’s cultivation!

Ye Luo also spent heavily this time, inviting members from the Bright Moon Academy, which has always had good relations with Da Yue Empire, to use a ship to transport Ye Luo and the others.

Otherwise, if Ye Luo forcibly broke through the boundary domain, he and Ao Long might be fine, but who knows how many of the three hundred elites would perish!

Bright Moon Academy has always been on good terms with Great Tang, so when Ye Luo went, Bright Moon Academy even prepared a mansion for him!

Of course, this is far from enough!

A mansion might accommodate three hundred people, but most likely Ye Luo would still remain busy afterward.

After all, Ye Luo brought these people not to act as servants but to help unfold his plans!

Just arriving at the new mansion, Ye Luo gathered the three hundred people for a meeting!

"Tell me, since you’ve come to the Martial Realm with me, you obviously know my purpose. You are key in bringing more people over. Tell me, how should we proceed?"

Ye Luo asked directly.

Ao Long is unreliable in this, though Ye Luo knows if Ao Long were willing to pitch ideas, good solutions might be found.

Yet Ye Luo understands Ao Long wouldn’t help!

"Your Majesty, we’ve inquired over the last few days that the items we brought don’t fetch high prices in the Eighth Region, making the planned commercial development route impractical!"

Someone stood up and spoke to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo nodded; this is why he wanted the meeting, believing the resources he brought might prove useful.

But who would have thought materials from low-region wouldn’t sell well in high-region, many things could only be sold cheaply!

Regarding currency, cultivation techniques, even lifestyle, there’s a huge difference!

Ye Luo felt helpless, but this is reality!

"My Lord, I think perhaps we should go with the flow. Isn’t the Eighth Region primarily driven by Sect and family forces? Shouldn’t we establish our own Sect?"

Establish a Sect?

Ye Luo slightly frowned; this seemed like a plan, but what would Ye Luo teach?

Ye Luo himself is still inexperienced, without a master, family, or heritage, everything is his own trial and error. How could he teach others? What to teach?

"Perhaps we should take the academy approach, investing to hire mentors, then develop the academy and expand our influence. After all, academies are much freer!"
