He rubbed his temples in pain before he flew up to 3,000 feet above the mountain peak.

Looking down from at Gantian Mountain City from above, one could see that, compared to a year ago, the city had expanded by half its size.

The city walls built before were too small and were boxed in by numerous houses.

The second layer of walls were under construction. The City Protection Spiritual Formation was being redeployed.

Luckily, at this moment, the entire Donglin Cloud Continent had settled down.

Under the suppression of four million troops, a year had passed since Donglin had any wars.

Due to the reputation and might from the Seven Cloud Mountain battle, no one dared to challenge Gantian Mountain.

The entire Gantian Country was so peaceful.

The only thing Zong Shou was not happy about, was that ever since his Green Wind Stone Path started to get profits, earning 300 Grade-9 Mind Stones in a year, there weren’t such good things anymore.

Any large city in Donglin was repairing and building roads. They treated him as a thief to defend against. Even if he got the rights for the roads, it came with a heavy price.

Preposterous!

He only collected a higher price and the year restrictions were a little longer. Those paths were really well made.

Luckily, the more stone paths there were, the crafting shops and carriage businesses started to prosper.

The tens of horse breeding areas around Donglin would sell close to 100,000 Grade-2 Cavalry each month, earning substantial sums.

Apart from that, the commerce tax increased drastically. In the past, Donglin took 1.5 months to travel from east to west for a carriage with 8 Grade-2 horses. Now, it took just 25 days.

This was still due to the Eastern Region having many areas without their Green Wind Stone Paths completed.

If they were all connected and one headed out from Gantian Mountain, one would need just 10 days to see the Cloud Ocean in the east.

At this moment, there were numerous carriages carrying goods coming in and out of the gates.

At least 10% of all commerce tax entered his pocket.

The current Donglin actually had a prosperous atmosphere of 10,000 years in the future.

“It seems like I underestimated myself. Who knew that I could rule a country to such an extent…”

He felt gleeful, actually forgetting that he hadn’t touched government matters in two to three years. He took all the credit from the few Cabinet Elders for himself.

When he first took over Gantian Mountain, it was too poor.

Just the country tax alone was comparable to the income of 10-20 High-Grade Mind Stone mines.

All this still hadn’t calculated Huizhou which was under Zhang Huai’s rule.

Following this, he frowned and looked below.

One could see a Giant Dragon with a bunch of Grade-9 Flood Dragons leisurely swimming around the cloud layer.

This was the Yin Dragon which forcefully entered the Avici Throne two years ago.

However, at this moment it had changed.

Although its body was illusionary, it was now white. The scales seemed to have something like Hanxi’s silver-white flames, looking really Saint-like.

That thick Vengeful Energy was totally gone now.

Not only this Giant Dragon, the other Flood Dragons were the same.

At this moment, even Zong Shou didn’t know if they were still considered Yin Dragons.

If not, then what kind of race are they?

He had asked Aokun to take a look, but that Saint Realm Expert had a weird expression.

He said that the Yin Dragon had merged its soul mark together with the source of the Avici Throne.

Although he could forcefully take it out, it would badly damage the Country Protecting God Artifact.

Following this, Zong Shou was helpless and wanted to ask help from the Buddhists. Kong Rui stopped him. According to the newly appointed Supervisor of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar, this was a Country Protecting Saint Beast which was connected to the luck of the country and it was inauspicious to kill it.

Zong Shou was shocked, how could something that forcefully occupied a nest become his Country Protecting Beast?

He didn’t see that fellow do anything. It either stayed within the throne or flew around the sky and let the sun shine on it.

What was weird was that although it was huge, around 100,000 feet long, each time it came out of the mountain peak it made no sound.

Less than ten people in Gantian Mountain could sense its presence.

It was formless and shapeless with no trace. This could be considered one of the natural abilities of the Mysterious Yin Dragon.

The problem was that the one in front of him was obviously shining silver light, its silver armor was extremely eye-catching.

The Giant Dragon head passed him and still was unfazed by Zong Shou.

Xiaori, who was standing on his shoulder, raised its claws and shouted out like it was saying hi to the Dragon.

That silver-white Dragon finally turned around, opening its mouth and roaring as a reply.

When the Dragon opened its mouth, the wind blew and sound waves rippled. Xiaori was perfectly fine whilst Zong Shou nearly fell, his hair was in a mess.

His lips twitched and he had an urge to skin this Giant Dragon alive.

However, thinking about how this fellow was many tens of times stronger than him, Zong Shou suppressed these thoughts.

Since Aokun wouldn’t help, then he could only compromise. When he stepped into the Celestial Realm, he would take his revenge.

Scoffing coldly, Zong Shou stepped into the air and left Gantian Mountain City. Moments later, he was dozens of miles away.

This was where the army camp was. Not only was it not abandoned, it had even been expanded considerably.

Looking out, one could see eight Giant Ships orderly lined up 1,000 feet away from the ground.

It was a million feet long and the short ones were half the length.

There were six which were hanging in the air while two were held up by wooden structures.

At this moment, there were hundreds of Spirit Masters busying themselves around the two space ships.

They were either repairing the broken areas, setting up formations or reshaping the ship.

“It is rare for the Ruler to come over…”

When that voice spread echoed, a person suddenly appeared beside Zong Shou.

It was Tianqi who was smiling wide, he seemed to be in a good mood.

“There are already six Space Ships completed. The other two will be done in at most two months. Even these two broken Night Demon ships, I guarantee with my life that after the repair they will be stronger than before.”

“With Sect Leader in charge why would I not be at ease?”

Zong Shou nodded and glanced at this person before smiling, “I heard that two months ago your Kongqi Sect opened the mountain to recruit disciples. You took in 100,000 disciples…”
