After returning to the Heaven Domain, Aeron once again recruited soldiers, bringing the number of each profession in the army to a round 10, not including the elites.

Even though he had the Silver Guards now, they were off doing a separate mission for him and were not here right now. Also, he wanted to train up some soldiers now they could help train newbies who were going to be recruited in the future.

Next, he checked up on the Nature Priests who were recovering from the overuseing of their powers. They all seemed to be in a decent condition and were making a timely recovery in the presence of their Spirit.

He chatted with the Spirit for a bit and watched the fairies as they flew around.

By the time he'd made a round of the village it was time for the new villagers to spawn. This round included two B grade talents and two C grades.

He brought hem to the temple and had the C grades gain the priest profession. The B grades, however, gained the High Priest version of the profession, getting an additional +10% intelligence and another skill.

The skill was [Animal Transformation]. It allowed them to take the form of a creature of the same stage of cultivation they had encountered and observed for a while.

Aeron was extremely satisfied with the Nature Spirit, it had only been a few days since it joined the village and it had already made the Fairy Flower bloom and indirectly helped in the battle against the wolves. It also had great potential for future development as shown with the increasing power of the priest profession for people with higher grades.

Of course, Aeron would not trust the Spirit so much as to let it turn one of his elites into a priest as once it did they would have a dual loyalty. Maybe, in the future, when there were a lot of S grades, he would let the Spirit have them as followers.

Alternatively, since the Spirit's priests had massively increased loyalty, he could use this method to make captured high grade talents loyal to him.

There really wasn't much to except prepare for plans he wanted to set in motion and rush over whenever a hunting squad found a village or a particularly large or strong den.

...

Five days in the Heaven Domain later.

In this time, two more villages were captured and their populations joined Rising Sun Village after their bloodlines were awakened to be the same as his.

He had only found one profession stele his village didn't already have, the [Archer] profession.

[Archer] F+ grade Military

Gain [Basic Archery Technique] Skill and +10% Strength

He had recruited ten archers to balance out the composition of his army a bit more.

Also, today they had found the last material required to complete the teleportation formation he had been making.

He added the last material to the pattern he had carved.

Swirls appeared around it as the surrounding magic power in the air was drawn towards the formation.

The energies were absorbed into the patterns and they began to glow. A faint shimmer appeared above the formation, forming a wall of shimmering air in a circle around it.

Once the formation drew enough energy to start up, it started to passively charge itself not as rapidly as before.

Once the formation stabilised, Aeron stepped through the wall of shimmering air and into the formation.

A selection screen appeared before him, allowing him a choice between the four system made cities in this region.

He chose the one he had a guild in and disappeared from Rising Sun Village.

...

The process of teleportation was a relatively pleasant one compared to what he was expecting. Aeron only felt a slight tug on his stomach as he was transported through space.

His body reappeared in a city dozens of kilometres away.

He stepped out of the formation and took a moment to get his bearings.

The city was large and clean, people packed the streets and soldiers of Stage 1 cultivation patrolled frequently.

Aeron sighed, he wondered when his Rising Sun Village could grow into a city as large and prosperous as this.

Asking for directions from a passer by, Aeron was able to locate Derek's guild. It was based in a medium sized building near the outskirts of the city, not ideal but the best he could get with a Baron title.

Aeron tried to enter the building but was stopped by two 'players' who guarded it.

"Halt, what business do you have here?"

One spoke.

The other guard tried to stifle a laugh as they saw their friend talking in that way.

"Go tell Derek that his investor is here to see him."

Aeron said.

The two guards were unsure of what to do, they had never been in a situation like this as they had only spent a couple weeks in the Heaven Domain and had been in the guild for even less.

On one hand, if this person was truly the guild leader's investor them it would be truly awkward for them if they didn't bring him to Derek but on the other, if he wasn't then they would've wasted their leaders time and would not be looked kindly upon.

They had to make the right choice here or it could put their future promotion at risk.

They discussed between each other and eventually decided on a conclusion. They got Aeron's name and one of them went to find the leader and quickly check Aeron's identity.

They didn't have to wait long because as soon as Derek heard Aeron was here he rushed to greet him.

The relationship the two of them had was like boss and employee. Aeron paid him a generous amount and he just had to do what he was going to do anyway.

After seeing the first payment to his bank account, Derek had been loyal to Aeron, building up a guild and setting aside the silvers and gold they earned for if Aeron required them.

When he heard this, Aeron told Derek to use it all to develop the guild and instead the guild would acquire items Aeron asked for and fought enemies Aeron told them to fight.

With this, Aeron had a chess piece buried in the city for much later on.
