Chapter 482: Planning

Translator:Editor:

Yao Mountain territory was way, way too enormous.

The military exploits Ji Hao built in Chi Ban Mountain was no trivial matter at all. The sword formation had exterminated almost all Qian Family’s elite forces and completely broke the spine of the few powerful Blood Moon families. Therefore, Emperor Shun discussed with all his ministers and finally decided to award Ji Hao with such a huge piece of land.

The Yao Mountain territory was nearly a million miles squared. To powerful beings like Ji Hao himself, this area could be covered in merely a day of traveling, but to those people Ji Hao brought here, only the distance from the east to west or from the south to north of this area would be unimaginably huge. An ordinary person couldn’t possibly make it, not even in their whole life.

With the magic cast by a few Magi Palace’s Magi and the help given by Po silently, the moving speed of Ji Hao’s migratory troop raised much further. After over two months of traveling towards the northeast, a magnificent mountain range could be seen in the front. That was Yao Mountain.

Ten million people in the migratory troop cheered out together. Some elderly people even kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Yao Mountain, which was shrouded by faint mist. This place would become their homeland, their children, their children’s children would be growing up and developing in this area. They would all have their own kids and pass their bloodlines on, generation after generation.

Yao Mountain territory was so boundless that many of these people probably wouldn’t have a chance to travel across this entire area and see all of its beauty. However, from among their descendants, some Senior Magi would always emerge, and even more powerful beings like Magus Kings or Divine Magi would emerge and grow.

One day, those talented kids would smile proudly and confidently, engraving their own names on this fertile piece of land, and leave legends about themselves that would last forever.

Today, they came to this virgin land. They would break open a way through brambles and thorns and build a homeland. They would have children in here, and their children would have more children. They were just like a seed. Today, they silently rooted in this land and started to grow, and in the future, their children would eventually become a towering tree!

Some old people were overwhelmed by waves of strong emotions. For unexplainable reasons, tears gushed out of their eyes.

Without being told to, they started to sing an ancient song of praying which would be sung by people when worshiping their ancestors’ souls, nature, the Gods in heaven and all mysterious beings in this world. They were singing the song for the new clan, for Ji Hao, their leader; they prayed for Ji Hao, for all-powerful beings in this world, to protect the peace of this land.

Compared with countless other mountain ranges in Midland, Yao Mountain wasn’t too high, the main peak was only around five-thousand meter tall. However, Yao Mountain's soil was extremely rich. On the mountain, one could see beautiful plants all over the place. Rare herbs could be found everywhere. The landform was rather smooth and gentle, no soaring cliffs could be seen. Between mountains were deep lakes and great rivers; earth meridians and water meridians were concentrated in this area, because of which, caves that fully contained pure essence natural powers could be seen everywhere. This great Yao Mountain area was highly nourished by gathered natural powers.

The soil was rich and the land was fertile, so treasures would naturally be produced.

The east side of Yao Mountain was abundant in pure gold, while the north side was rich in high-quality jade; the west side teemed with bronze and iron mines while many mines of different kinds of magic crystals and gemstones were located on the east side. The reserves of those mines were extraordinarily huge, could even be seen as inexhaustible resources that would never run out. Not matter for crafting armors, weapons, farm implements, tools, or building machines, or serving as supplies for Magi daily cultivation or for sale… these resources would be just perfect.

With these resource mines, Ji Hao’s would not need to worry about money for the long-term development of his Yao Mountain territory.

In the north, west and south sides of Yao Mountain were broad plains and highlands covered by thriving woods and decorated by countless rich grassland, which could serve as excellent pastures. The resources of wild animals and plants were also abundant. Water resources covered the whole area, and potential places of residence that had great environmental conditions could be found everywhere. Any spot of this whole area could be a wonderful choice for building a homeland and starting a new life.

In the east side, Yao Mountain extended for thousands of miles then into a vast water area.

There was an unnamed lake, its area seven to eight times larger than Yao Mountain territory. On the map given by Emperor Shun when he enfeoffed Ji Hao with Yao Mountain territory, this ocean-broad unnamed lake was also circled up as a part of Yao Mountain territory.
