Chapter 165: Migration and Reformation Plan
After completing all the spiritual artifacts, Yi Chen placed a batch of spirit mines into his storage ring.
He nearly packed away all the third-grade and above spirit mines.
The flying treasure shaped like a stone house could now reach over a hundred square feet after improvements and re-refining.
The next time he forges spiritual artifacts, he won’t need to go to the Artifact Forging Room; he can complete it right inside the flying treasure.
Leaving the Artifact Forging Room, Yi Chen waved his hand.
The flying treasure, the size of a fist, flew out of the storage ring.
With a thought, he wrapped his divine consciousness around the flying treasure, trying to merge his understanding of the laws of space into his consciousness.
For four or five minutes, he tried.
‘It’s still a bit lacking!’
Yi Chen shook his head secretly and chose to give up.
The moment he took out the flying treasure, a flash of inspiration struck him. He wanted to see if he could use his understanding of the laws of space to place the flying treasure into his Qi Sea.
The Qi Sea is a very peculiar place.
It seems to exist as its own space; when viewed internally, the space is vast and can hold an astonishing amount of spirit power.
Moreover, as his strength and realm increase, the Qi Sea continuously undergoes qualitative changes, and the space keeps expanding.
Important spiritual artifacts like flying treasures and spiritual swords can be directly placed into the Qi Sea for storage.
When he needs them, they can be summoned with a thought.
There is little difference between this and keeping them in the storage ring, but it is more convenient during battle.
Unfortunately, after breaking through to the Heart Tribulation Stage, although he gained some understanding of the profound laws of time, space, and fate, he still felt it was slightly inadequate.
Given more time, he was confident that with his powerful talent and partial understanding of the laws of space, he could absolutely devise a method to directly place spiritual artifacts into the Qi Sea.
However, for such a small matter, he clearly preferred not to waste too much time.
After his realm increases and his understanding of the laws of space deepens, he could tackle it later, surely finishing it in just a few minutes.
Rather than spending excessive time researching how to place spiritual artifacts into the Qi Sea, he would rather improve various skills.
Especially the Heaven-Slashing Technique, which could easily be developed to create attack methods like flying swords.
His spiritual sword, although only third-grade at present, had very weak spirit sensitivity, making it almost impossible to communicate with using divine consciousness.
Yet, after breaking through to the Heart Tribulation Stage, his divine consciousness had greatly improved.
He could fully integrate spirit power into his divine consciousness and, combined with the Heaven-Slashing Technique, control the spiritual sword’s movements with his mind.
This was not achievable at a great distance, but within one or two kilometers, its power would definitely rival that of the Sword Energy from the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
The only reason he hadn’t done this was that Yi Chen was currently too lazy to deal with fierce beasts that the four armies couldn’t handle.
Leaving them there wouldn’t significantly affect the expansion speed of the four armies.
Taking the time to solve things together works just fine.
Therefore, Yi Chen’s desire to improve his personal strength is not as strong for the time being.
He plans to wait until his realm is higher before improving all his skills at once.
In his eyes, the most important task at this stage is to quickly gather spirit materials and see if he can refine spirit pills that can raise the average level of the tribe members.
Under his intent control, the fist-sized flying treasure rapidly expanded.
It grew to over twenty square meters before stopping.
Although it could expand further, it wasn’t the right time for refining spiritual artifacts; making it too large would only make it seem empty.
Yi Chen entered the flying treasure and guided it to the end of the valley.
Then, he sat cross-legged on a wooden bed and quickly slipped into a meditative state.
For potion making, he only needed to make improvements to the weapon refining technique, so it wouldn’t take much time.
He aimed to raise his realm as much as possible, and as his influence continues to expand daily, the additional talent bonus would be higher.
When that time comes, he could improve his potion making with greater efficiency.
The spirit stones placed beside him began to surge with rich spirit energy as Yi Chen’s Qi Sea sent powerful spirit power flowing into his meridians, continuously spilling out dense spirit energy that gathered toward him.
After every great circulation, his spirit power became more refined.
When breaking through from the first level of the Heart Tribulation Stage to the second level, theoretically, even the strongest talent among humanity would require three months.
However, with the spirit energy provided by the spirit stones, it would take about a month and a half.
But clearly, theory does not apply to Yi Chen.
Because the influence area currently controlled by the Flame Mountain Tribe has reached six hundred twenty thousand square kilometers.
Yi Chen also possesses an additional 6.2 times talent bonus.
He only needs six or seven days to break through to the second level of the Heart Tribulation Stage.
Compared to the time it takes to break through from the first level of Spirit Consciousness to the second, it doesn’t take significantly longer.
This is precisely why Yi Chen views the average strength of the tribe members as even more important than his own strength.
The stronger the tribe members, the faster their expansion.
The faster the expansion, the higher his talent; whether it’s cultivation or creating skills, he can maintain super-fast progress, unaffected by the increasing difficulties of higher realms.
Second level of the Heart Tribulation Stage, third level, fourth level…
The Intelligence Organization and Political Council still frequently send various messages.
However, since Yi Chen re-refined the flying treasure, it no longer needs to be slid under the door like before.
Next to the door, Yi Chen purposely made two simple mailboxes.
One is for internal use, and the other faces outward.
If the Intelligence Organization or Political Council has messages for him, they just need to slip the documents into the hole in the wall, and they will slide down into the internal mailbox.
Conversely, if Yi Chen has any instructions, he merely needs to place the documents into the hole facing outside, and they will fall into the external mailbox.
With the successful integration of the Sacred Water Tribe, Yi Chen has become less diligent in checking various documents.
He generally only looks at them every three or four days.
This is because he wants to understand the progress of collecting spirit materials.
Having successfully broken through to the fifth level of the Heart Tribulation Stage, Yi Chen waved his hand casually.
A mailbox, about fifty centimeters in length, width, and height, opened.
Inside, there was a thick stack of documents.
His divine consciousness wrapped around the documents and flew them to his face.
There was no need to look at them one by one; the divine consciousness wrapped around the documents started from the bottom, moving faster than his eyes.
"Migration and Reformation Plan? That’s why this information came."
Yi Chen felt surprised.
Looking at the date, two days ago, the Political Council sent him a plan titled "Migration and Reformation."
The content explained that with the rising population, migration is essential.
The first and foremost concern was the food issue.
Even though the four armies continuously delivered prey, food was momentarily secure, but the long distance of transport required increasing amounts of manpower and fierce beasts.
Farming and breeding have already begun to replace hunting.
However, the Flame Mountain range is mountainous, making both farming and breeding quite inconvenient.
Another crucial reason is that with the booming trading market, various new businesses and buildings are constantly increasing, and the space in the valley is gradually insufficient.
Extending outward from the valley, the geographical environment presents many management challenges.
Therefore, the recommendation from the Political Council is to migrate the entire tribe to another location to build a stone city.
There are two proposed sites: one is the vast grassland, and the other is a wide plain area.
Each location has its advantages and disadvantages, but both are much better than the Flame Mountain range.
Migrating the entire tribe will disrupt and restart many emerging industries.
The daily lives of the people will also undergo significant changes and may face discomfort due to the new environment.
To minimize the negative impacts of the migration, a series of response measures must be put in place.
In the view of the Political Council, it may be better to completely reform, abolish the Flame Mountain Tribe, and rename it the Great Flame Kingdom.
They propose to create more detailed laws and regulations, reorganize the Political Council, set up branch offices, and implement a nobility system.
The entire plan spans tens of thousands of words, covering every detail, and includes two topographic maps of the proposed sites along with relevant analyses.
Yi Chen glanced at the signatures at the bottom, and as he expected, only the two vice councilors, Zhong Ren and Feng Yue, signed it.
