This time, Chu Yuan wasn't merely leading his army from the Martial Domain on an expedition, but on a mission of expansion, to open up new territories.
Departing didn't mean that he would go somewhere on his own and fight solo, rather it meant he had to establish a new foundation, and the preparations he needed to make were extensive.
First, he had to select officials within the Martial Domain, needing a group of sharp and able ministers.
When they arrived in the Eastern Profound Territory, they had to occupy territory as a base – it needed people to manage it.
Such preparations took almost a month to complete.
Majestic and dauntless, an army of fifty million Divine warriors appeared outside the Dawu Imperial City.
They were clad in dazzling and mysterious light armor, each one of them had reached the Divine Realm.
An army consisting of fifty million of those in the Divine Realm!
Even if rated in the High Star Imperial Dynasty, they would categorically be considered the elites!
They were set to conquer the Eastern Profound Territory alongside Chu Yuan, to achieve greater victories.
Another accompanying Chu Yuan was Zhu Fengfeng and Ji Fuling.
Chu Yuan had originally planned for Zhu Fengfeng to rule over the Demon Territory as its sovereign.
However, Zhu Fengfeng begged Chu Yuan to take her with him, as staying in the Demon Territory would not allow her to increase her abilities; only by going to a more formidable and prosperous place could she increase her strength.
Since Zhu Fengfeng didn't want to go, Chu Yuan designated the Purple Scale Thunder Dragon to rule over the Demon Territory in her place.
The Purple Scale Thunder Dragon was no longer the weak creature it had been just a few years ago, its cultivation had already reached the God Position. As the fortunes of Dawu continue to rise, its strength too will become ever stronger.
At the thought of this, Chu Yuan smiled.
Dawu now had a dragon and phoenix.
As for Ji Fuling, she was going to establish the Dawu Business Association there to manage the various materials for Chu Yuan on a transit basis.
"Leading the campaign in the Eastern Profound Territory."
He took out the War Army Chessboard and swept the entire fifty-million-strong army into it.

Though the War Army Chessboard was just a Spiritual God Tool, it had a vast space inside. After upgrading, it had divided into several small spaces. Although these couldn't freely move, they could practice within their own small areas.
With the War Army Chessboard, it would be convenient to carry the large army around for personal campaigns.
Fifteen Sky Warships hung in the sky. Leading a large number of experts, Chu Yuan ascended into them. And with that, they began heading towards the sea area of the Southwest Province.
Flying the Sky Warship consumed a great deal of divine stones, but Chu Yuan did not skimp and directly used a king-level divine stone, maintaining a high-altitude status, quickly soaring towards the emptiness of the sky.
After all, for him, it was better to spend less time on the journey and arrive in the Eastern Profound Territory as quickly as possible.
Slowly flying along the coastline, the Sky Warship descended onto a vast plain near the sea, an ideal location.
Although there were numerous cities on this plain, none of them were significant; the most powerful was merely at the God Position Realm.
Boom!
The fifteen Sky Warships began to gradually land.
"East Mysterious Region, I have arrived!"
Chu Yuan disembarked from the Sky Warship.
He deeply inhaled the spiritual energy of the East Mysterious Region.
The spiritual energy of the East Mysterious Region was at least ten times denser than that of the Martial Domain.
Even though he was in a remote area of the East Mysterious Region, the intensity of the spiritual energy alone was enough to reveal the martial arts level of the area. It was indeed a grand region with the presence of Void Gods.
"Fuling, arrange for the craftsmen accompanying the army to quickly construct Dawu City here. Also, prepare the port for docking the ships of Dawu. This place is the nearest to the Martial Domain, I will communicate my imperial decree through the divine aura. Soon, ships will reach here from the Martial Domain to connect with us."
Chu Yuan planned to establish the foundation here.
Although he had left the Martial Domain, he carried the Taiyi Pill Furnace with him which was to be transported back to the Martial Domain.
Also, the resources obtained in East Mysterious Region had to be transported back via ships. To ensure safe travel for those coming from the Martial Domain, a new order had to be established here, serving as a transit point for communications between Martial Domain and East Mysterious Region.
He needed to tightly control this coastline.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ji Fuling was efficient in handling these matters.
Immediately, up to hundreds of thousands of craftsmen disembarked from the Sky Warship, excavated materials on the spot, and soon, the outline of a city was taking shape.
"Martial Emperor, now that we are in the East Mysterious Region, I can quickly make contact with the branch of the Qiankun Merchant Association we have established here and ask them to send people here."
Tang Feng also took action immediately.
With a token appearing in his hand, he sent a signal right away.
The East Mysterious Region is incredibly vast, hundreds of times larger than the Martial Domain. A Void God from the Qiankun Merchants Association is stationed here, which can help Chu Yuan obtain more resources to manufacture various weapons of war.
"Loyal and Valiant King, General Feng, send your men to understand the situation here, the strength divisions among the powers, and also to recruit various Refining Masters. We can even draft the armies right here and form an Eastern Mysterious Army."
Chu Yuan said, "I am here, and inevitably, there will be conflict with the powers here. But I am prepared for all of this, and will steadily expand, gathering the resources of the East Mysterious Region."
Understanding the situation is essential whenever someone arrives at a new place. Although he knew that this place was the East Mysterious Region, he was not too clear about the power divisions of the East Mysterious Region.
In a few days, a large city stood on the plain right in front of their eyes!
Wu City!
