They wouldn’t think they could conquer the Demon Realm in one go, but gradually taking over bit by bit was a possibility. If things continued as such, it might be possible for them to achieve this within ten years.

To others, this seemed unimaginable and impossible, but Xianyao knew that if they truly did it, success would definitely come. Don’t underestimate the power of these women, especially when working together.

"Are those two female generals here" Currently, Xianyao had a question: were the two female generals here According to normal circumstances, since they had reached this point, they should be stationed here for some time before advancing further.

However, he didn’t seem to find many troops here. The main force might be somewhere nearby.

In Xianyao’s opinion, this wasn’t a good border area and was not easy to defend. Advancing a bit more would provide a better defensive position; they should have pushed forward without delay.

Under normal circumstances, they should continue here. If they were here, he could report in peace to them, anyway he had only promised not to tell the Lu Family. Besides, it was just half a month away from a year, so there’s no big deal.

Moreover, Xianyao missed them too. There hadn’t been any news for a whole year. Even when they were apart before, at least they had some form of contact; now, all connections are severed.

"You mean those two female generals You came too late; they left several days ago to attend the founding ceremony," replied that person.

"Founding ceremony" Xianyao was stunned for a moment but quickly understood. When he departed, it was when Lu Yunqing ascended as king. It should have been one year by now, and Liushijie had changed its royal surname to the Lu Family’s. The founding date would naturally be set on that day.

If calculated according to the previous royal family, the Lu Family wouldn’t accept it.

"Yeah, a year ago when the king ascended, he set Liushijie's founding date as that day," replied that person.

"Got it. Thanks, uncle. I’ll take my leave now." Xianyao said with a smile and bid farewell to him before speaking with others, subtly inquiring about Gu Xing’s group’s situation.

What was their situation

Naturally, this would be how they began their campaign. Although the details were unknown, he should get some idea of it. He also wanted to know exactly how they managed such rapid territorial expansion in such a short time.

Xianyao quickly received information and learned that their growth surpassed his imagination. Gu Xing had already entered late Saint Realm, while the two Madams weren’t far behind. At this rate, it wouldn’t take them more than three years to enter God Realm, becoming the youngest God Realms in history.

Given their power at late Saint Realm stage, they were unbeatable in such small nations. Under their leadership, territorial expansion speed would significantly increase. Moreover, there was also the Third Miss of South Palace, whose military strategy exceeded Xianyao’s expectations.

Before, Xianyao might say he could see through South Palace's third miss’ plans, but now, he found it hard to fathom. After discovering her plans, all he could do was marvel at their intricacy and brilliance.

With the three Madams’ formidable strength and Third Miss’s strategy, it wasn’t strange that they had managed such rapid territorial expansion; it just shocked people deeply. If the whole world paid attention to this matter, everyone would be stunned. Meanwhile, other kingdoms bordering Liushijie would feel fear.

These kingdoms understood this situation would eventually come for them since their expansion was only beginning and would soon extend elsewhere.

Some of these kingdoms were secretly contacting each other, hoping to form an alliance to help each other when necessary. In such precarious circumstances, the alliance would be fairly solid.

However, Third Miss of South Palace had already gathered this information. To take down these small nations, she sent numerous scouts for intelligence collection. Her opponents weren’t as meticulous in their operations; thus, obtaining these pieces of information was easy.

She didn’t pay much attention to it; after all, this wasn’t a significant matter. Even if they joined forces and created a formidable opponent, the difficulty wouldn’t be too high.

"Sigh, these women are truly terrifying. If given time, they might change the face of the entire world," Xianyao sighed. He seemed to have forgotten one thing: their terrifying nature was entirely because of him.

They were all cultivated by him, especially Gu Xing...

"Humph, that’s your favoritism." Upon hearing Xianyao’s words, Black Snow said irritably.

"Favoritism" Xianyao was a bit confused; why bring up this topic suddenly

"Humph! You know in your heart, if we get married in the future, you have to keep a distance from them." Black Snow said. "Or else, marry all of them."

"You're joking, why should I marry them They don't like me anyway. Besides, Miss Lady likes boys rather than men, and I am a standard manly man," Free-and-Easy shook his head directly without knowing what Black Snow was talking about.

He knew that she was jealous, but he did not understand why it would make her so upset. Originally, their relationships were very clear: Miss Lady aside, Guxing was the boss, and the Southern Palace sisters were only friends of Miss Lady, which made them friends of his friends.

Especially Third Miss Southern Palace who rarely spoke; he hardly chatted with her at all, so it would be impossible for their relationship to reach a closer level. In fact, Free-and-Easy felt that Third Miss Southern Palace should stay with Miss Lady better since it could save him from Miss Lady's nagging.

"Besides, you might not marry me either, talking about this is too far ahead," said Free-and-Easy nonchalantly. "Let’s find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow; we need to reach Flowing Moon City before the founding ceremony. The road isn’t in a hurry."

If they were to travel now, it would take them at most seven days to get there. He still had ten or so days left; of course, if he wanted to arrive earlier, the festivities should start a few days beforehand and might not be as lively after that.

After these ceremonies, many people would leave, making things worse than before.

"Hmm..." Black Snow nodded her head while looking towards Flowing Moon City. She wondered what the roots of the Demon Sect would look like.

In Flowing Moon City’s palace, Imperial Study Room:

Lu Yunqing sat in this study room with a subtle aura of a king emanating from him. This was different from the upper-class family head's aura he had before; it felt more imposing and authoritative.

This royal aura was an accumulation of fate, after becoming a monarch, one would gather the entire country’s fate onto themselves, which formed this kind of royal aura. If the owner was powerful, such an aura could be incredibly strong.

The previous Flowing Stone Kingdom's king did not have this aura since he had been suppressed by the Lu Family, naturally lacking it. Previously, the territory wasn’t that extensive either; now with the expansion of the territory, its fate has also increased correspondingly.

Though a monarch’s aura was an upper-class person's fortune, such luck wasn't invincible and could be influenced by many factors. Simultaneously, a king's own fate would affect this as well.

Lu Yunqing was born in the right moment to become a ruler; therefore, his royal aura became very strong. It was just at its beginning now, but after several years later, his aura would be even more powerful. Moreover, his fate might influence Flowing Stone Kingdom's national fortune and make it prosperous.

The national fortune would be affected differently by the king’s luck; this had both good and bad aspects to it. Lu Yunqing's performance was good—though he didn’t have the supreme emperor's luck, at least he could stand in this world and become one of the major powers.

"Third Brother, what do you think about this matter" Lu Yunqing frowned slightly while looking at Third Lord with a slight headache. In the current Imperial Study Room, besides Third Lord, several people were standing around—core figures from the Lu Family.

"I don’t think this is good," Third Lord shook his head directly and said.

"If you also say it’s not good, then they definitely oppose it," Lu Yunqing groaned in pain.

"That's certain. They won’t acknowledge this matter, my daughters are the same," Third Lord nodded while saying. "They believe that Free-and-Easy hasn't died; without seeing his body, they will never accept it."

"I understand, but this matter has already passed a year ago, and it's time to face reality now. Though I don’t want to accept the fact, we must do something for him," Lu Yunqing said.

What Lu Yunqing was discussing right now was about adding Free-and-Easy’s posthumous title, hoping to make him a "Free-and-Easy King" and place his tablet in the Lu Family ancestral hall. If they couldn’t find Free-and-Easy's body, they planned to establish an empty tomb for him as well; this could be considered doing something for him after death, which was also a normal decision.

Everyone believed that Free-and-Easy had died for sure, and the matter should have been dealt with long ago. However, in fear of stirring up some people's feelings, plus needing time to confirm it, they felt now would be an appropriate time after a year had passed.

But everyone understood that if this matter proceeded, Guxing and company would definitely oppose it; the "them" they were talking about referred to Guxing and his group.

If there wasn’t anything related to Guxing’s group involved in this matter originally, even Third Lord's daughters’ opposition wouldn't stop them from proceeding with their plans. However, given how important Guxing's group was now, it posed a great dilemma for Lu Yunqing regarding the decision.

"We don’t need to rush, let’s discuss after one or two years," Third Lord sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, I also suggest we wait some more days before deciding. Or better yet, let Southern Palace General's group confirm it themselves first before we make our decision; I’m afraid they might not stay in our Flowing Stone Kingdom then," a core elder of the Lu Family suggested.
