142: The border between East and South
Since Mu Mu said there was no problem, Li Haotian didn't say anything more. Soon, Mu Mu walked out of the Space Turbulence.
“Meow, we've crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains, but where is this?”
Li Haotian looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Who would have thought that the place Mu Mu came out to was a volcano? Just one more step, and they would have been taking a bath in the volcano.
Although with their current strength, even if they fell into the volcano, nothing would happen, that would truly be too unlucky.
Li Haotian said with a smile, “Let's first ask around and see what place this is.”
Although Mu Mu's speed was very fast, it had been traveling through the Space Turbulence and couldn't figure out the direction at all, but crossing the Ten Thousand Mountains was very clear.
Li Haotian held Mu Mu and flew up, his divine sense sweeping in all directions.
Not long after, he had a complete understanding of the environment here.
This was indeed the South Border, but it was already close to the Central Plains and the Eastern Territory. Not far away was a large river, the Yellow Sand River, flowing out from the Central Plains, separating the Eastern Territory and the South Border.
In other words, the place where Li Haotian was currently located belonged to the Three No-Care Zone.
Finding a deserted place, Li Haotian waved his hand, and Li Zixuan himself appeared beside him.
Li Zixuan looked at the large river not far away and asked with some confusion, “Father, what place is this?”
The eyes of the others also looked over, wanting to know where this was.
Li Haotian said with a smile, “This is the junction of the South Border and the Eastern Territory, separated by the Yellow Sand River. You can go to the Eastern Territory or the South Border, which is quite convenient.”
Li Zixuan and the others nodded slightly, their gazes looking around.
“This place is not bad, but unfortunately, there are no Yuan spiritual veins. Otherwise, cultivating here would also be possible.”
“No, Old Ancestor sent us out to find resources, not to find a place to cultivate.”
“Why can't we find a place to cultivate outside? We can also cultivate our own forces outside. Wouldn't it be better to collect resources with the forces under our command then?”
“This method is not bad, it's feasible. We can rebuild the Luoxia Merchant Guild then.”
“Yes, the business model of the Luoxia Merchant Guild was quite good before. We'll operate according to that and establish a huge Li Family then.”
“Why don't we ask Old Ancestor first? After all, we don't know what Old Ancestor means.”
“Are you stupid? Old Ancestor said before that he wanted us to conquer our own territory. Is it possible that he just wants us to establish forces?”
“It's very possible. Luoxia Island is only that big. If there are too many ordinary clansmen, they won't be able to live there. We can only start from the mainland.”
“Since that's the case, then let's act. First, we'll flatten the surrounding forces, and then expand outwards in the manner of the Luoxia Merchant Guild. After the territory reaches a certain point, we'll report to Old Ancestor.”
“Feasible, let's do that.”
“Okay, but we need to first flatten the surrounding forces or make them work under us.”
“But who should be in charge of this matter?”
“How about Clan Brother Zixuan? He was the former Family Head, and we are very convinced by him. Should be okay, right?”
“Clan Aunt Zi Yu can also do it. The spiritual stones she organized before were also very powerful. Why not let her preside?”
“How about letting the two of them preside together? One main and one auxiliary, how about that?”
“No problem, it's settled.”
“Okay, it's settled.”
...
Li Haotian didn't know that they had decided on the next course of action in just a few words and were preparing to expand outwards.
Li Zixuan and Zi Yu were standing beside Li Haotian, listening carefully to his words.
“Zixuan, Zi Yu, you two are the only ones in the entire family with management talent. Next, I have a very important task to entrust to you, and I hope you can complete it.”
“Starting from here, you will strive to take down more territory. I will send people over from time to time to help you better defend the territory here.”
“Presumably, you should also know that as the number of clansmen in the family increases, Luoxia Island is almost unable to accommodate them.”
“Therefore, I am thinking of having all the clansmen who cannot cultivate leave Luoxia Island, and the remaining cultivators will stay on Luoxia Island.”
“However, if this happens, many clansmen will definitely have grievances. Therefore, we need to conquer a larger territory in this relatively prosperous Eastern Territory and South Border so that the clansmen will not feel that we have abandoned them.”
“Then, Luoxia Island will descend in this vicinity and become the ancestral land of the family.”
“If you cannot take down the territory here in a short period of time, then the clansmen on Luoxia Island will have nowhere to go.”
“For the sake of the family, I hope you will not be soft-hearted. You can tell the others about this matter after I leave.”
“Similarly, whoever takes down a large piece of territory can also exchange it for cultivation resources as a contribution.”
Li Zixuan and the other person nodded as they listened, only then understanding Li Haotian's thoughts.
“Father, don't worry, your son understands.”
“Uncle, don't worry, I also understand.”
They had already figured it out. Li Haotian was preparing to settle the family here.
Since that was the case, the surrounding forces would need to agree, but the surrounding forces would never agree to a behemoth settling here.
Thus, Li Haotian was preparing to use powerful means to completely clear out the surrounding forces.
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but take a deep breath, but their hearts were even more excited.
It was true that Luoxia Island floated in the void, but that completely limited the development of Luoxia Island. Although the current Li Family wasn't considered very powerful, there were Great Ascension cultivators and Body Integration cultivators. More or less, they could be considered a medium-sized force.
If they focused on this edge area and kept developing, the Li Family's future was promising.
They could even take down most of the Eastern Territory and the South Border as the base of the family.
Li Haotian thought for a moment and said, “If any ordinary clansmen have ambitions, they can also establish a Great Tang.”
Because the name Eastern Territory reminded Li Haotian of the four words Eastern Territory Great Tang. Since there was an Eastern Territory, wouldn't it be very uninteresting without a Great Tang?
Li Zixuan frowned and asked, “Shouldn't the name be Falling Glow?”
Li Haotian rolled his eyes and said, “Have you ever seen any country named Falling Glow? I even have Sunset.”
“Alright, it's settled. You go and make the arrangements. By the way, you two take these two teleportation formations. I will give the remaining one to Immortal Xian.”
“Also, this is a half-immortal artifact, Zixuan. I believe you will lead them to obtain more resources for the family, right?”
Li Zixuan quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Father, I understand.”
Li Haotian's meaning was very clear. Entrusting such an important task to him was to prevent him from being solely focused on finding Li Xiantian's mother and thus delaying the Li Family's major affairs.
He, Li Zixuan, was not someone who didn't know the importance of things. Although his current cultivation had already reached the early stage of Great Ascension, the South Border was not without more powerful existences.
Even if he had a half-immortal artifact in his hand, so what? He couldn't defeat a Tribulation Transcension stage cultivator.
No one knew the situation on Li Xiantian's mother's side, and it was still very difficult to find her.
After the Li Family became powerful in the South Border, they could slowly search, and they would eventually get news.
Just as Li Haotian was about to leave, he suddenly said, “Oh yes, Xiantian is also about to come to the South Border. When you encounter any powerful enemies, you can ask him for help.”
Li Zixuan and the others were speechless. Although they knew Li Xiantian was very powerful, there was no need to do this, right? Wasn't this saying that they were useless?
