"Six mountains and six rivers, the Mountain and River Sword! This sword is quite extraordinary, but unfortunately, it's the only one that can't be infinitely farmed using the quest center!"

Lu Chaoding immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the Six-Star Mountain and River Sword. A moment later, he found Lan E at the foot of Floating Cloud Mountain and asked, "Lady Lan E, thank you for your hard work. How is everyone doing?"

Lan E bowed and said, "The enemy has been completely wiped out. The sect is in trouble, and it is our duty to kill the enemy and vanquish the bandits. However, we have lost 34 sisters in this battle, and our sect leader husband needs to bring them back to life in the Hall of Heroes."

Lu Chao nodded and said, "Of course."

As he spoke, he took out the Mountain and River Sword and handed it directly to Lan E, saying, "My lady, this Mountain and River Sword is extraordinary. You shall wield it on my behalf and become the Mountain and River Sword King."

"I?"

Lan E was somewhat flattered and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, this Mountain and River Sword is too precious. Lan E's strength is shallow, how can I be worthy of it? I am unworthy of it!"

Lu Chao said, "Take it if I give it to you. Don't refuse. In the future, the Reliable Sword Sect will face more crises and stronger enemies. You must become stronger."

"Then, Lan'e will follow her husband's arrangements!"

Lan E took the Mountain and River Sword, and soon a flash of light appeared on her body as she changed her class to [Mountain and River Sword King], greatly increasing her attribute values.

Lu Chao looked at Lan E's attribute information and quickly understood the meaning of the Mountain and River Sword King's Domination characteristic.

Simply put, the Mountain and River Sword King is a natural "captain" who can initiate team invitations with no limit on the number of team members. The attribute values ​​of all members in the team will be added together to form a shared total value. The Mountain and River Sword King can redistribute those attribute values, such as concentrating them on one team member, distributing them evenly, making individual adjustments, and so on.

Within the team, the Mountain and River Sword King holds an extremely high position and power. Team members cannot resist his orders, and it can even be said that their lives are in his hands.

"Very well, from now on all the sect leaders' wives will be under your management!" Lu Chao retorted. "And show your husband the Mountain and River Realm again!"

"Yes, my husband, please follow me to a more spacious area!"

Lan E led Lu Chao to the vast sea. She threw down the Mountain and River Sword, made a hand seal with her right hand, and the Mountain and River Sword suddenly shone brightly. Then, six mountains mysteriously grew on the sea surface.

Each of those six mountains was comparable in size to the Seven Realms Mountains of the Primordial Dust, and between the mountains were six great rivers that flowed suspended in mid-air like colorful ribbons.

"Six mountains, six rivers, not bad, not bad!"

Curious, Lu Chao flew into the mountain and river boundary to investigate. He discovered that the six mountains and six rivers were not illusions, but real land. The six mountains were lush with vegetation and home to many small animals, creating a beautiful landscape. The six rivers flowed in a cyclical manner, defying the laws of physics, with rushing waters, and it seemed that fish swam within them.

"If we hadn't known beforehand, it would be hard to imagine that these six mountains and six rivers were formed from a single sword! Lan'e, why don't we just display these six mountains and six rivers here? You and the ladies can sit here and I'll have the Da Bao Construction Corps do some special renovations for you, making these six mountains and six rivers look beautiful..."

Lu Chaoding sensed a vast territory. The natural landscape of the Mountain and River Sword was still too primitive, so he wanted to develop it.

Lan E naturally had no objection to this. She quickly arranged for a group of sect leaders' wives to enter the Mountain and River Realm and let them choose their own cultivation place.

A moment later, Lan E presented the only spoils of war she had acquired, the golden seal, to Lu Chao.

=====

Special Item: Golden Seal

Level: LV1

Note 1: The Golden Seal is a special item. Holding the Golden Seal allows you to demarcate a territory (within a radius of a thousand miles) and establish a country!

Note 2: After the founding of the nation, the "rest and recuperation" setting will be activated within the territory. Ordinary citizens will experience growth and changes such as birth, aging, illness and death. Having children and reproduction will be allowed. Please explore for details.

Note 3: After the founding of the nation, the golden seal became a symbol of royal power. As the nation's strength and development progressed, the golden seal would automatically upgrade. After the upgrade, the territory would expand. Please explore the details yourself.

====

"Huh, this is a nation-building item! It seems this golden seal isn't a bound item, nor is it a unique item. So, wouldn't this be like the sect creation token, something that can be farmed multiple times through the quest hall? Hahaha, if I wanted, I could farm thousands, tens of thousands, and distribute them. Everyone in my reliable sword sect could build a nation, and everyone could be an emperor..."

Lu Chaoding shook his head and quickly gave up the idea.

The golden seal is obviously an extremely rare and powerful item. Lu Chao was afraid that if he used it too much, the system would send enforcers. If he could defeat them, that would be fine, but if he couldn't, he would be doomed.

"Forget it, having too many of these golden seals is meaningless. Let me enjoy this privilege all to myself and establish a country to see what happens!"

As he spoke, Lu Chaoding directly used the golden seal in his hand, and immediately received a notification: "Ding, successful use of the golden seal. The kingdom creation process has begun. Please define the kingdom's boundaries. Please note: the kingdom's size is limited to a radius of one thousand li, and it must be within private or unclaimed land!"

As the system notification sounded, a world map automatically popped up in front of Lu Chaoding. After a few simple operations, he selected a sea area covering a radius of a thousand miles, centered on the Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain, as his nation's territory.

"Ding, country confirmed!"

"Ding! You are about to establish a kingdom. Please name it!"

"Reliable Kingdom!"

"Ding, naming successful. Congratulations on creating the beginner kingdom, Reliable Kingdom. You have obtained the identity of [King of Reliable Kingdom] and automatically received a special costume, [Royal Robe of Reliable King]. The strength of the Reliable Sword Sect is an important reference for national power. The kingdom management panel is generating..."

"Ding, Kingdom settings activated. Players and NPCs within the Reliable Kingdom will automatically acquire citizenship. Citizens of the Reliable Kingdom are permitted to reproduce and multiply. Please explore for details."

"Ding! System detection: The beginner kingdom has many powerful individuals and its national strength is very strong. It has been automatically promoted to an intermediate kingdom, its territory has doubled, and its borders have been automatically updated!"

"Ding! System detection: The intermediate kingdom has many powerful individuals and its national strength is extremely strong. It has been automatically promoted to an advanced kingdom, its territory has doubled, and its borders have been automatically updated!"

"Ding! System detection: The advanced kingdom has many powerful individuals and its national strength is extremely strong. It has been automatically promoted to a reliable empire, its territory has doubled, and its borders have been automatically updated!"

"Ding! You have acquired the identity [Reliable Emperor of the Empire], and your special outfit [Reliable King's Robe] has been updated to [Reliable Imperial Robe]..."

After hearing the system notification, Lu Chaoding laughed and muttered to himself, "I've become an emperor! A reliable emperor? This is fun, very fun! I just wonder what the [Reproduction and Propagation] setting is. Does it mean that citizens can have children?"

He quickly brought up the [Reliable Kingdom Management Panel] to check.

After becoming a reliable king, Lu Chaoding possessed the privilege of appointing officials and establishing institutions, such as appointing a prime minister, appointing a national advisor, establishing military camps, establishing government offices, and so on, with a very high degree of freedom.

However, Lu Chao was too lazy to use these privileges, thinking he would just be a king without any power and rule by doing nothing.

Soon, Lu Chaoding understood what the "allowing reproduction" setting meant. Just as he had thought, it was a setting that allowed players and NPC citizens to "have children".

In short, players within the game's territory will have a more realistic gaming experience. Players can become partners with each other, players and NPCs, or NPCs with each other after meeting specific conditions. After becoming partners and experiencing intimate behavior, the female partner has a chance to become pregnant. She can give birth after one month of pregnancy. The child born is likely an NPC created by the system. This NPC will grow rapidly, become self-taught, and develop an independent personality after three months.

Lu Chaoding did some more research. He didn't know about others, but he and the hundred sect leaders' wives, including Lan E and Lv Liu, were legally partners. This was certified by the system. If he wanted, he could create a whole bunch of princes or princesses within a month.

"This feels a bit strange. Oh well, I'll stop investigating this..."

Lu Chao closed the Empire Management Panel and chatted for a long time with Lan E, Lv Liu, and others to learn about the current situation of the reliable sword sect.

Half a day later, Lu Chao resurrected the 34 fallen sect leaders' wives in the Hall of Heroes. Then he took out the Heavenly Demon Sword and went to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.

The Heavenly Court was enchanted, leaving behind three special items. The third item, the [King's Cauldron], was obtained by the Heavenly Demon in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.

Lu Chao found the Heavenly Demon and soon saw the [King Cauldron].

To his delight, the [King's Cauldron] turned out to be a powerful artifact of destiny, specifically effective only for those who were "Kings".

The word "王" here refers to a king, emperor, or similar figure.

When the "King" is bound to the "King Cauldron" and then brought into the territory of the kingdom, the "King Cauldron" will automatically accumulate fortune, thereby granting the "King" the fortune attribute.

"Blessed with good fortune, immortal and indestructible! This King Cauldron is quite powerful; it would be useless to anyone else, so I'm taking it with me!"

Lu Chaoding said something to the Heavenly Demon, and then unceremoniously put the [King Cauldron] into his storage space.

A moment later, Lu Chaoding placed the [King Cauldron] on the summit of Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain.

"Ding! Your Majesty, the Reliable Emperor, you have activated the Royal Cauldron and received the blessing of fortune!"

"Ding! Your current luck level is 10!"

"Ding! Your luck value +1!"

"Ding! Your luck value +1..."

Lu Chao stared at the [Wang Ding] for about half an hour. By then, his luck value had exceeded 100, and it was still slowly increasing.

At this very moment, in the inner sea of ​​Qian Yuan Island, east of Hongchen Chessboard Mountain, on the bow of the Qian Yuan boat, Qian Duoduo and Yu Fanfan each had a bottle of chilled watermelon juice. They sipped it slowly, their eyes fixed on the sky, facing the direction of Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain.

"The Heavenly Court was actually destroyed just like that. Tsk tsk, Lu Chaoding truly lives up to his reputation as a person favored by Heaven. This time he even became the emperor. With the blessing of fortune, he is almost unstoppable."

Yu Fanfan suddenly spoke.

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, the strength of the Reliable Sword Sect is growing stronger and stronger. Not to mention Lu Chaoding, just look at the Sky Patrol Sword Demon Ye Longxing and the Peach Blossom Sword God Xiang Ruyan. Both of them are at their peak. It's only a matter of time before they become peak-level experts, and they may even prove the Dao of Hunyuan. With these two protecting them, the Reliable Sword Sect can firmly hold its position as a first-class sect. In addition, there are a hundred Sword World Walkers... Tsk tsk, the Reliable Empire has a bright future. In the future, it may even be more powerful than the Great Yu Dynasty that you founded."

"That's for sure. How many experts does the Great Yu Dynasty have?" Qian Duoduo said. "You haven't mentioned the Heavenly Demon yet. The Heavenly Demon seems to be Lu Chaoding's subordinate as well. He's not an ordinary NPC, but one of the Primordial Sword Demons, with countless connections to the Hongchen Sword Sect and the Qinglian Sword Sect. He's involved in numerous story missions. With her assistance, even if a Hunyuan Realm enforcer appeared, Lu Chaoding might not be able to suppress him immediately! This guy has already made his mark!"

"Yes, perhaps it won't be long before my Qian Yuan Island becomes part of the reliable empire's territory!"

"By then, you should be able to break free from these constraints."

"Theoretically, I could leave the island then!" Gan Duoduo gave a bitter smile. "It's laughable that I've managed the Sword Realm's finances and haven't developed a single capable subordinate. Even if I can leave the island, what can I possibly accomplish?"

"You're being too modest!" Yu Fanfan stood up and waved her hand, saying, "I'm going to Wuliang Cave Heaven. Once you can leave the island, you might as well go there too. By then, I reckon Kun Manman will have awakened..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Fanfan vanished into thin air.

Qian Duoduo continued gazing into the void, muttering, "Reliable Emperor, hurry up and develop! Take over my Qian Yuan Island as soon as possible..."

Qian Duoduo didn't have to wait long. Just three days later, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, the empire is growing stronger and its territory is expanding. Qian Yuan Island has been incorporated into the empire. Qian Yuan Island is not unclaimed territory. National war mission triggered: [Conquer Qian Yuan Island]..."
