If these cultivation notes were systematically organized, and then further refined and polished over time, they could very well form the rough foundations of techniques or even secret arts.

Of course, this would require a long time.

It was far from being perfected at this early stage of Spiritual Energy resurgence.

After all, cultivation techniques usually carry the efforts and insights of several generations, sometimes even dozens of generations.

And now… it had only just been over a decade since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy. The first generation of Transcendents were still in their infancy.

However, one thing was certain: if someone in Misty Mountains were to be able to achieve enlightenment and became a Hegemon, the cultivation insights left behind by them would inevitably spark fierce competition in the future, possibly even leading to rivers of blood.

(Ashish: From this, achieving enlightenment, or attaining Dao, both all refers to reaching Tier-7.)

…

At this moment, setting aside the cultivation notes, the entire Realm of Life was in a fervor due to the awakening of Aurora.

After all, the status of Aurora in Misty Mountains was quite significant.

Some even referred to Aurora, Nine Tails, and Ling Er as the ‘Three Giants of Misty Mountains.’

This alone was proof in itself of the importance of Aurora in Misty Mountains.

Now, after learning some information from Nine Tails and Ling Er, Aurora pondered for a moment and then stated with a smile, “Since I’ve awakened, it’s time to pay a visit to Master.”

With that, Aurora lifted her feet and started walking towards the deepest part of the Realm of Life, where a Colossal Tree, a part of Yu Zi Yu’s true body, stood rooted calmly.

Although it was only a small part of his true body, a lifeform like Yu Zi Yu could fully utilize even a part of his true body.

After all, what determined Yu Zi Yu’s existence was his ‘consciousness.’

…

Not long after…

“Mas…ter…” A distant call, filled with a hint of excitement, awakened Yu Zi Yu.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a girl radiating prismatic hues on her shoulders leading a large group, slowly approaching.

“Aurora…” Yu Zi Yu called out in a somewhat astonished voice, momentarily taken aback.

He had not expected Aurora to awaken at this time.

However, on second thought, Yu Zi Yu was relieved.

[It has been several years now. Compared to others, her breakthrough has taken an unusually long time. In fact, any further delay would have been unreasonable. Yet, her awakening at this very moment feels perfectly timed. With it, Misty Mountains can finally be reorganized.]

With this thought, Yu Zi Yu looked at the approaching figure and instructed, “Aurora, since you’ve awakened, you can temporarily take over the affairs of Misty Mountains. I need you to have everything in order within half a month, with everyone assigned their duties to ensure the effective operation of Misty Mountains.”

“Understood, Master.” Aurora couldn’t help but chuckle, a trace of joy flashing in the depths of her eyes.

[As expected, Master still values me highly even now.]

However, at that moment, as if recalling something, Aurora suddenly asked, “Master… How should Misty Mountains be structured now? Is it still like before, with the Ten Great Beasts, the Left and Right Guardians, and the Three Great Generals…?”

“Yes.” Yu Zi Yu nodded slightly and responded, “It will remain the same as before, with no major changes.”

However, at this point, Yu Zi Yu shifted the conversation and added, “And this is precisely what I need to address. Misty Mountains have now risen to the pinnacle of major powers, governing two worlds with vast territories and many powerful individuals. However, just as every Family has its rules and every nation its laws, Misty Mountains should also have its own regulations. So, I need you to work with Nine Tails, Ling Er, and the others to establish a set of rules unique to Misty Mountains.”

As he finished speaking, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze lifted, landing on Ling Er, who stood smiling in the distance.

“Ling Er.”

“At your service.” Ling Er slightly bowed in acknowledgment.

“You are familiar with the various Human nations and should have some experience in this regard, correct?”

“Of course.” Smiling, Ling Er responded, “Most Human Nations separate military from government, and our Misty Mountains can do the same. Those skilled in battle could form the military. They would be responsible for leading the various Legions and expanding the territories of Misty Mountains. Those skilled in governance could handle the administration, ensuring the efficient operation of our domain.”

“Agreed.” Nodding in approval, Yu Zi Yu accepted Ling Er’s suggestion.

Although Humans were not particularly adept at cultivation, in other areas, they excel without a doubt. Their various systems and structures ensure the optimal use of Human and material resources.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu followed her lead and stated, “Since that’s the case, Misty Mountains will henceforth function in the manner of a Human Empire, divided into the military and governance.

The military will focus on conquests. It will be led by major legions, and will have ten Generals.

As for the governance, it will be led by the Ten Divine Beasts…

But the specifics will be handled by you all. Additionally, the name ‘Misty Mountains’ no longer fits our current status. If possible, you should consider a few names that better represent our current strength and influence…”

As Yu Zi Yu spoke, his thoughts grew clearer.

Currently, Misty Mountains had risen to become a top-tier force that had transcended its planetary origins, yet it still lacked a formal structure.

In a way, it was almost laughable.

However, it could not be helped. Under Yu Zi Yu’s guidance, Misty Mountains had developed too quickly. So quickly, in fact, that there had not been time to perfect various systems. Even the leadership structure was not clearly defined, which was indeed improper.

Now, with Aurora’s awakening, it was the right time to reorganize Misty Mountains.

As for whether they would form a Kingdom, establish a Sect, or continue as they had, with their name resonating throughout the stars as a Forbidden Zone, that decision was left to Nine Tails, Ling Er, and the others.

These were not matters for him to dwell on.

At this stage, Yu Zi Yu’s priority should be cultivation and accumulation.
