Immortal Kingdoms

Leonardo entrusted Rosaline and Aurora with accompanying the guests to the fourth great hall while he stepped off the Cloud Crane and landed in front of the staircase to his personal grand palace. Boundless pressure covered the long staircase as a sense of ferocity enveloped the steps.

Leonardo ascended the staircase with a light thud, dressed in white daoist robes.

As his long silver hair fluttered about, he finally had the chance to review the gains of rushing through from high divinity to zero rebirth and all the way to core moulding; Leonardo basically stormed from level 88 all the way to level 100 during his long tribulation period, all the while he utilized the overclocked innate martial intent to not only mend the fragmented laws from the second throne fragment's dimension but also deriving the essence of the Ninth Inception Arrow Technique and applying it into his personal arsenal of skills.

He complied everything about his four martial intents and various techniques into three solid, ultimate skills for himself. First, a scene that dumbfounded everyone watching from the distance; countless halberds wreathed in crackling black lightning as they flashed in and out of existence to strike at his opponents.

Second, with the perfection of his domains at the rebirth realm, he also perfected his control over them to an extent where he could concentrate all four of them into a lethal force in the incarnation of a sphere. This technique was great for long-range yet target-focused destructive power, unlike the wide-range crowd control skill mentioned above.

As for the third, unsurprisingly, it would be the beast claw technique from the ancient battlefield mountain range— Leonardo made sure to comprehend the intent, and the three strikes that were left behind on the main mountain during its moments of weakness.

The intent was lofty and indifferent, yet absurdly powerful.

It was an upsetting fact that Leonardo didn't get to experience any elaborate vision from the lingering intent, but he was positive these marks were left behind by the strongest of the known God Beasts; a dragon, and a very young one at that.

As he progressed further ahead and since he no longer needed to monitor every corner of the mountain range for construction purposes, Leonardo drew back his domain into his body, exposing a clear view of the Evernight Imperial Palace and its subsidiary palaces and grand halls to the people outside.

Currently, only the Blackrain City in the east was fairly populated with solo cultivators that migrated over through the past months; their numbers were in the thousands.

Although everyone could see the mountains shifting through the layer of haze due to the domain, their vision wasn't as crystal clear as the rebirth realm cultivators in their midst. It was to be expected as the domain of a rebirth realm cultivator could be considered its own small world with a world barrier.

As Leonardo's domain retreated gradually, the magnificent scene in the backdrop of the approaching Cloud Crane permitted everyone below in the distance to appreciate the handiwork of three rebirth realm cultivators for an entire month.

The people from the grand sects, eleven in total, were the first to receive messages while they rested inside the nearby Greenheart City, rushing over quickly. Not only them, but a diplomatic delegate representing the Luan Dynasty left the City Magistrate Manor as well.

Rosaline and Aurora traveled for a few minutes before they dropped in front of the entrance to Blackrain City, even though the city didn't have much to offer from sights or architecture yet.

The divinities and high divinities approached carefully as they had yet to overcome the fear of this ruthless blood cultivator.

Before Rosaline could say anything, Aurora also stepped forward with a calm expression and stated, "My Wind Fall Pavilion will provide  flying ships to ferry people below the divine realm to the cities constructed within range of the protective formation; this is your chance to migrate your families, friends, and loved ones over if you're willing to engage in hard labor to finish building up the city."

Hua!

The divine cultivators gasped collectively as they hadn't expected to grasp such a good bargain out of the blue. The three dynasties didn't obstruct normal people from leaving the protective range of the provincial formations allocated across the prefectures; each dynasty had a prefecture in one of the cardinal directions respectively while these prefectures split into provincial regions.

The population of each dynasty was incalculable, to say the least; perhaps in the billions of lives. The royal family wouldn't put a leash on these people as they have their own stellar worlds to manage, allowing these people much desired 'freedom' of choice. It wasn't difficult to leave the jurisdiction of a dynasty, it was coming back that proved difficult.

Many people were unsatisfied with the living conditions of a world engulfed in political warfare. For example, Elizabeth and her grandfather, a couple of inconsequential peers in a sea of dissatisfied people.

"Senior, is there a limit to the number of people you're willing to take in?"

A bold person spoke up from the crowd, but the crowd immediately split up to reveal the one who spoke, causing him to be a little embarrassed. Nonetheless, the man raised his head high despite the unease in his eyes.

Aurora didn't answer. She chose to glance at Rosaline for this question.

Rosaline rolled her eyes as she understood that Wind Fall Pavilion wasn't helping Leonardo with this move but they were also helping themselves. Non-cultivators and weak cultivators, in small numbers, were indeed inconsequential. However, take them in hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions; that's the foundation of a nation.

"Don't worry," Rosaline waved her hand. "Young Master Leo doesn't plan to stop with just this city in the east, but he will build a city in each of the cardinal directions respectively while this region on the map will no longer resume as the Blackrain County but the Evernight County."
