In addition to Li Dong and Li Dang, there were also a few former royal members of the Li family who followed them to give up all other thoughts and sincerely surrender.
Under the lead of Li Dong and Li Dang, these people left the land of the old Tang and headed for the land of Chu.
Although everyone was reluctant to leave their homeland, just like Xiao Kun who was forced to leave Liang Land.
As a former royal family, continuing to stay in the land of Tang was harmful to them.
Since Li Qiong had already gained a foothold in the land of Chu, the Li family might as well follow him and reproduce in the land of Chu.
In this way, they might have a chance to return to the land of Tang in the future instead of being targeted and surrounded by many other forces.
Chang 'an tacitly allowed them to follow Li Qiong to the land of Chu.
In addition to the Li family, as long as the local governors did not delay the work of Chang 'an, they could give preferential treatment to their own family members.
This was also a kind of preferential treatment for the governors.
Li Dang, Li Dong, and the others followed Li Qiong.
Li Hong, Li Xuannian, Li Yi, and the others who refused to bow their heads continued to be imprisoned and worked as coolies.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun did not care much about this.
However, after dealing with most of the prisoners, the entire Eastern Border had completely surrendered and there was no future trouble.
A large number of talents were recruited and recruited, allowing Chang 'an to enter a period of development.
In the past, because of territorial issues, although there was trade between the seven countries of the Eastern Border, it was more or less limited.
But now, the entire Eastern Border was under Chang 'an's rule, and they could exchange what they needed and develop efficiently.
The Mountain God Rock and Turquoise Crystal in the land of Tang, the Breath Wind Iron and Seabed Mysterious Jade in the land of Qi, the Wonder Dragon Stone in the land of Chen, the Purple Crystal in the East Sea, and so on. A large number of goods that were originally banned began to be integrated and gathered together to play a huge role.
Master Zhang in the Daming Palace was very satisfied with this.
What made him even more satisfied was that the education and literacy in the entire Invincible City, and even all the places in the Eastern Border outside of Invincible City, had made rapid progress.
After Shen Herong successfully re-cultivated and broke through to the scholarly literati level, she took over the related matters once more. As a result, the issue of education developed even faster.
With Shen Herong's help, Zhang Dongyun could allocate more energy to his own cultivation.
One day, Master Zhang was leaning against a large piece of underwater Xuan Jade to regulate his breathing.
A system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The literacy of the residents in the city has been improved. Successful literacy education has been implemented. The illiteracy rate of the residents has been reduced to below 10%. The city has successfully completed construction mission 8.2. Obtained 2,500 experience points to upgrade.]
Zhang Dongyun's eyes lit up.
He stood up and waved his hand, causing the enormous pitch-black jade stone behind him to disappear.
Master Zhang stretched his limbs while scrolling through the System's mission list.
Finally, another construction mission was completed.
In this way, his accumulation of construction experience had reached 6,600 points.
There was a considerable improvement, but compared to the 1,400 points needed to level up, it was less than half.
I still need to work harder … Zhang Dongyun sighed inwardly.
He looked at the new mission.
[Construction Mission 8.3 — The city continues to expand, and its influence has successfully covered the entire Eastern Border. However, the Central Continent, which is across the sea from the Eastern Border, still lacks a foothold and influence. City Lord, please successfully establish a landing point in the Central Continent.]
Zhang Dongyun pondered as he read the mission description.
This was similar to what he had previously imagined.
He ordered the South Sea to speed up the construction of the ships. He also ordered Perfected Hui Fang and Chen Yu to figure out how to build a mobile array formation.
Now that the Eastern Border had been stabilized, it was time to advance to the Central Continent.
For the former Evil Emperor, Shen Herong, Ao Kong, and the others, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as "returning to the Central Continent".
Zhang Dongyun stretched his neck.
In the process of education and literacy, Perfected Hui Fang, Meng Shen, and the others had also achieved remarkable results.
Meng Shen brought Chen Chaoyan and set up one array formation after another on the land of the Eastern Border.
The Sect Master of the Xuan Yi Sect had a premonition.
The moment everyone successfully set up the array formation, it should be the time for him to reach the Essence Soul realm.
Chen Chaoyan set up the array formation with him and also benefited a lot on the path of cultivation.
However, Zhang Dongyun was actually more concerned about her. He wondered if she had touched the wisdom of the past because of the Four Nine Layered Yang Sword Formation of the Pure Yang Palace.
She and Meng Shen had yet to leave the territory of Invincible City. Zhang Dongyun had a detailed grasp of her situation.
At present, it seemed that there was still a lack of results in this regard.
Zhang Dongyun was not in a hurry. He only dealt with it casually.
On the other hand, Perfected Hui Fang and Chen Yu had also achieved results.
They had successfully figured out a mobile array formation that used the sea as a geographical advantage.
Now, they had officially entered the process of improvement and replication.
One large ship after another was modified by Perfected Hui Fang and Chen Yu to carry powerful array formations.
The ship entered the ocean and faced the stormy waves that could tear the ship into pieces in the past, but it was as if it was on flat ground.
With the ship itself as the eye of the array, the array patterns flickered and enveloped the area with a radius of nearly a thousand meters.
The sea was calm, the wind was gentle, and the sun was bright.
Of course, one ship was far from enough.
Perfected Hui Fang and Chen Yu worked overtime.
At present, every once in a while, a divine ship with an array formation would enter the water.
A huge voyage fleet was gradually taking shape.
In the South Sea, after a certain amount of adaptation training and cultivating more sailors and boatmen with experience in voyage, the fleet could head to the West Sea.
At that time, the vast Desolate Sea between the Central Plains and the Eastern Border would no longer be a barrier for ordinary mortals.
The array formation that Perfected Hui Fang and Chen Yu had added to the ship could not only resist the wind and waves, but also increase the speed of the ship.
In this way, they could cross the tens of thousands of miles of sea between the Central Plains and the Eastern Border.
Seeing that everything was on the right track, Zhang Dongyun nodded in satisfaction.
After thinking for a moment, he recalled Shen Herong.
"Big Brother, what's the matter?"
Shen Herong stepped into the hall.
In this life, she was almost twelve years old. Her figure was gradually growing taller, and she was not as petite as before.
However, compared to her current age, Zhang Dongyun estimated that after she became an adult in this life, she would still be quite petite.
"Ying Xiao, I'm staying in the Tai Qing Palace. It will be difficult for Eighth Sister to gain anything for the time being. Tell her to come back first."
Zhang Dongyun said, "With me here, it will be more helpful for her to cultivate and improve like you and Eleventh Brother. She will recover her old appearance as soon as possible. As for the Tai Qing Palace, it will be sooner or later."
Shen Herong smiled and said, "Big Brother's words are reasonable. However, Eighth Sister has always been stubborn. If you can't persuade her, I'm even less confident."
"If she insists on not returning, you can accompany her."
Zhang Dongyun said, "After being separated for so many years, if we meet again after such a long separation, it will be even more hurtful."
Shen Herong nodded, "Alright, I miss Eighth Sister too."
… …
While Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong were talking, two uninvited guests arrived at the Western Sea of the Eastern Border.
In the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and there were many white clouds.
However, in the white clouds, two figures gradually appeared, but they were not noticed by outsiders.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you. This is I's first time in the Eastern Border."
The elder of the Azure Dragon School, Tong Kai, looked at the continent in the distance and said Slowly.
Beside him, Daoist Yun Luo of the Tai Qing Palace smiled, "To be honest, so is I."
"The situation is unclear. Why don't we … go in with our external bodies?" Tong Kai suggested.
Daoist Yun Luo nodded, "You're right. I have the same idea."
After saying that, the two's Primordial Spirits flickered slightly.
In Tong Kai's Primordial Spirit, the light was vaguely divided into six balls.
One of the balls of light separated from his Primordial Spirit and landed beside him.
Under the flickering of the light, an old man in a Daoist robe who looked exactly like Tong Kai appeared.
This was Tong Kai's external body. It was the product of the Daoist Spirit Division.
The second level of the Daoist Primordial Spirit was known as the Spirit Division. It was also known as the eleventh level of the Daoist cultivation.
Although the ninth level of the Demonic Dao had the ability to split one's soul, the demonic soul obtained had a limited duration and could not be separated far away.
On the other hand, the Spirit Division of the Daoist Spirit Division was like an independent entity that could leave the main body and travel far away.
Although the cultivation level of the external body was lower than Tong Kai's main body by a level and was only at the tenth level of the Daoist Sect, its strength would not decrease no matter how far it was from the main body.
Tong Kai cultivated the Azure Dragon School's Daoist techniques and inherited the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions. After reaching the Spirit Division stage, he could theoretically split into seven balls of starlight.
Right now, one ball had transformed into his external body. Five balls of starlight remained in his body, while the other ball had transformed into his external body long ago and remained in the Middle Earth.
After reaching the second level of the Primordial Spirit in the Daoist Sect, it would be very difficult for enemies of the same level to kill him.
Of course, apart from being a level lower than the main body, there were other obstacles that came with manifesting an external body. It was not completely without worries.
To a certain extent, it could achieve the effect of one person taking on many people. Even if the sect had fewer people, there was no need to worry about being outnumbered. However, it was not true that one person could take on many people alone.
After manifesting an external body, Tong Kai turned to look at Perfected Yun Luo.
Perfected Yun Luo was the same as him. He had also manifested an external body.
However, Perfected Yun Luo's external body was the same as Tong Kai's main body. They were both at the eleventh level of the Daoist Sect.
His main body's cultivation level was higher than Tong Kai's. Even though his external body was a level lower than Tong Kai's, it was still higher than Tong Kai's external body.
However, his external body could cast other spells and abilities just like his main body when he was at the eleventh level. However, it could no longer continue to divide.
Reverend Yun Luo took out a long bundle, then handed it to an avatar that looked exactly like him.
Tong Kai stood at the side and looked at the bag.
The bag was wrapped in purple silk and tied with a golden rope. There were also runes written in cinnabar.
"This is the seal that your sect master, Perfected Peng, personally placed, right?" Slowly, Tong Kai asked.
"Yes, it is Senior Uncle Peng's work."
Perfected Yun Luo nodded his head, "If you enter later and meet with any danger, I will use this item to pay for it. You don't have to worry about me. Just find your own way out."
"Why are you all keeping this?" Tong Kai asked after a moment of silence.
Perfected Yun Luo's external body kept the bag and turned towards the Eastern Border, "Perhaps, it will come in handy at times like this."
