Sure enough, by the time they arrived at the Palau Mountain Range, they found it full of cultivators extracting Triliun Ore. However, they didn't try to resist. After all, the deal was that Cassen wouldn't try to stop them anymore. If that really happened, this battle would become a high-level one. Everyone at the Nascent Soul Realm and above would enter the fray. Cassen Country definitely didn't want that to happen.

Jialin quickly scared those cultivators away and took over the Palau Mountain Range. With that, all the Triliun and Transten Ores were now in their hands. Obviously, all the Sects, Royal Family, and Laan City experts were delighted by that.

​​

Still, Cassen and the other two countries didn't hold back when extracting the ores because of the urgency of the matter. They went all out, trying to reach the Transten Ore deposit at the center. Even Saint Realm experts attacked the vein nonstop. Everywhere they looked, there were giant holes and deformations.

Unfortunately, in the end, they did not find where the Heaven Ore Metal was located. It was one thing to know that there would be Transten Ore in this place. However, knowing which part of the deposit held Transten Ore was another thing altogether. After all, this deposit was just too big. Also, Transten Ore would appear anywhere with the highest concentration of Spiritual Energy. To find that place, they would need to make their way inside. Spiritual Sense didn't help much with this point.

Kassie and the others quickly ascertained the situation and began to give orders.

"Senior Droman and the other Formation Masters, please connect the Communication System to this place. Also, start building a protection formation. We don't know if Cassen and their alliance will change their minds, so we need to be prepared."

"Bring the Excavation Team forward and have them began to look for Transten Ore inside the Triliun Vein. We need to be sure that we take those ores as soon as possible."

"Each power will have a few watchers looking at the excavation to make sure that no one will take everything for themselves. This deposit will also help pay for the costs of the war, so we need to share it equally."

"Spread the Army Units outside around the Palau Mountain Range and have they secure the place. No one can enter without our permission. Tell the vagrant cultivators that they will get extra merit points and some Triliun Ore to forge their own equipment if they stay here. Our own cultivators and disciples will also get the same rewards if they stay longer."

Around one day later, Jialin sent a message to all the surrounding countries. Their conquest of Cassen's territory has now finished. As promised, they would not try to conquer the country, but just a small part of its territory for their own use. A few cultivators of each nearby country entered Cassen to check. They confirmed that the war stopped after Palau Mountain Range was taken.

Cassen, Tolak, and Roren tried to negotiate with Jialin to get some of the Transten Ore in the Mountain Range. After all, it was just too important for all the countries involved. Surprisingly, the main commander of the army, Kassie, accepted their proposal.

Well, the one who really accepted that was Roan. According to what he said, they wanted to guarantee the safety and stability of the new territory. The best way was to reach an agreement with the previous owners. Even though they would lose some of the Transten Ore, it was a fact that this territory would bring them more benefits as time passed.

'One must look at the big picture. By doing this, you can prevent those countries from trying anything funny anytime soon. That will be perfect for Laan Experts to build their own power in this place. Once the entire territory is firmly under their grasp, you won't need to worry anymore.'

Kassie said exactly the same thing to the other powers' representatives. Since they all think it was Kassie who achieved this victory for them, they decided to give her a chance and accept this deal. In exchange for 30% of all Transten Ore found in the Palau Mountain Range, Cassen would officially accept the loss of its territory. Tolak and Rorel would also give up any idea of trying to take the deposit back.

This deal seemed very similar to what they got in the past. However, there was a big difference. Now the Laan Experts had a much bigger territory. Above all, Jialin also had access to a massive amount of Triliun Ore, which wasn't offered in the previous deal.

Of course, this agreement wouldn't last forever. Cassen might very well try to take the territory back one day. That being said, they also agreed about a time frame for peace, fifty years! For the experts at the Nascent Soul Realm and above, this really wasn't much. After that, Cassen would be free to try anything if they wished to. Last but not least, they called a representative of the Imperial Family to seal this deal. This way, neither Cassen nor Jialin would dare to go against the agreement.

With that done, all the vagrant cultivators were finally dispersed. Each of them received five kilograms of Triliun Ore, which had a considerable value for cultivators at the Core Formation Realm and below. Even Core and Soul Fusion Realm considered it a good extra. Of course, they also had their merit points, which they all used to exchange for cultivation resources and other items.

After that, there were the cultivators of the sects and the royal family. In their case, only half of their forces returned home. The other half stayed just in case something happened. After all, the agreement was only between Cassen and Jialin. There was nothing said about other countries who might decide to use this chance to attack.

Roan's Death Unit just so happened to be one of the Units that stayed behind. Well, that was more of a personal request from Kassie. Neither Rean nor Roan thought it was bad since they had to wait for the Transten Ore to be mined. Sure enough, Mia and Zuan promised the two half of their share of Transten Ore.

As for the high-level cultivators, the majority of Laan Experts stayed in the new territory. After all, they would create their home here. The other sects and royal family sent half of their high-level forces back, leaving only the other half to watch over the Ore Deposit.

Time passed as the dust settled down. The news about Cassen's defeat quickly became forgotten as a new sect appeared in the conquered territory, the Laan Sect. The reason that Triliun and Transten Ore appeared in this mountain range was due to the rich Spiritual Energy beneath it. That being said, The Laan Sect was built in the same place.

Around three months later, the Jialin Excavation Force finally found the location of the Transten Deposit. Well, they could have been much faster if the Twins had used Kentucky. But to prevent others from getting suspicious, they didn't let the Minokawa get close to the deposit. Day and night, the demon bird looked at the mountain as its mouth drooled. It turns out that they were right. There was a great amount of Transten Ore present at the moment. Another month was used to slowly and carefully mine it.

In the end, 637 kilograms of it was mined out of the deposit. Don't look down on this number. This is a Heaven High-Level type of metal! 191 kilograms were then given to Cassen, Tolak, and Rorel as per the deal. The other 446 was shared between the six sects and the Royal Family of Jialin.

Dalamu got 74.3 kilograms, which was then divided into two portions once more. Both Dalamu and the twins ended up with 37.15 kilograms each. As Reliance mentioned in the past, Rean only had to give 100 grams of Heaven-Level ore to Kentucky each time. The frequency would depend on the level of the ore.

Low-Level would be once every three days;

Middle-Level every five days;

High-Level every seven days;

Finally, Peak-Level every ten days.

As a High-Level Material, Kentucky would need seven days to digest every 100 grams. With 37.16kg of ore, the twins would be able to feed Kentucky for the next 2601 days! That was the same as seven years worth of food for Kentucky!

Or so Rean thought...

"What? Of course, it's not that easy. Kentucky's level is increasing. Obviously, he can absorb a lot more Heaven-Level ores as well. Have you not checked his digestion time of the Luminun Ore after he entered the Stage Three level?"

Rean shook his head.

"I just kept giving him the same 100g every five days."

Reliance shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, if you want to give him just 100g every seven days, you can do it. But that will also delay his progress."

Rean looked helplessly at the enormous black and white bird on his side.

*Chick?*

"Oh well, it was you who found the deposit to start with, so I guess it's okay."

Rean threw another 100g to Kentucky, who swallowed it in one go. In the next days, he and Reliance checked Kentucky's body to see how long he took to process that amount. In the end, Kentucky absorbed the entire thing in just four days!

"Oh well, this is still 1486 days worth of food, or a little more than four years. It's more than double of what I had before."

Rean then threw another 100g for Kentucky to eat and left. A few days later, it was decided that Rean and Roan's Death Unit would be dispersed as well. With that, everything related to Laan City was finally settled down.

*pin!*

[Congratulations, Hosts.]
