​"This is the place, Your Majesty. Please see if it is to your liking or not."

​After a swift hour of flying through the cold sky, guided by Ezekiel, the group landed on a clear, grassy plain. This was the Mistveil Valley. It spanned about 10 miles in radius, perfectly protected by naturally formed, snow-covered hills and dense forests. The environment was clean and already rich with spiritual energy.

​"It's beautiful," Seraphina commented, her Light Dao resonating with the pure energy of the land.

​Eterna immediately jumped down onto the ground, running across the grassland with a happy smile. The clear, sunny sky shone onto her figure, making the scene more beautiful.

​"I love my new home, Papa."

​Vahn sighed helplessly, though a soft smile crossed his face. Her adorable antics always made him smile. "Calm down, Eterna. Or else, you'll fall. And don't you want to help your Papa and Aunties build our new house?"

​Eterna stopped her frantic running, her eyes wide with excitement. "Yes! Eterna will help Papa build a big house!"

​Vahn turned to Ezekiel and the two Saintesses. "It's perfect. The natural defense is excellent, and the spiritual richness is exactly what we need."

​Lilith remained silent, her gaze scanning the hills for any hidden threats, while Ezekiel beamed with pride.

​Vahn knew that time, even on this secluded continent, was his most valuable commodity. He had to transform the natural basin into an impenetrable fortress immediately. He reached into the Dragon Pearl and focused on the Third Chamber, the storehouse of cultivation arrays.

​"Ezekiel, Seraphina, Lilith," Vahn commanded with the finality of a true sovereign. "Our first act is to establish a foundation strong enough to repel an Emperor level Beast."

​With that said, Vahn extracted two key items from the Third Chamber:

​The Imperial Spirit Gathering Array: A complex, diamond-shaped formation consisting of hundreds of crystalline nodes.

​

The Great Concealment Barrier: A massive defensive formation designed to hide the entire valley from prying techniques and spiritual senses.

​Vahn placed the central node of the Imperial Spirit Gathering Array precisely in the center of the Valley, right where he stood. As he channeled his Dual Core energy into it, the ground began to glow and shake immediately.

The array immediately started drawing and intensifying the spiritual energy from the surrounding valleys, turning the air dense with spiritual energy which was perfect for rapid cultivation.

Vahn's next instruction was for Seraphina:

​"Seraphina, I need you to take the crystalline nodes and place them strategically in the foothills. Your Light affinity is the most compatible with this formation. We need to boost the energy levels immediately."

.

"Lilith," Vahn called out and handed her the blueprint for the Great Concealment Barrier, "You and Ezekiel will take the outer perimeter. Your Darkness affinity is perfect for concealment. You will set the Concealment Barrier around the entire ten-miles radius. No one must find us."

​

​He then looked at his daughter. Eterna, though small, was the most enigmatic entity there, possessing the power of the Eternal Phoenix.

​"Eterna, your job is the most important," Vahn said gently. "Papa is making the ground strong. I need you to touch these crystals after your mommy places them and help seal them into the earth. Use your warm light to make the arrays perfect."

​"Yes, Papa. I will do it right away." Eterna replied, thrilled beyond words.

​With the commands issued, Vahn's Necrotic Dynasty had begun its operation: Seraphina was empowering the spiritual core, Lilith and Ezekiel were securing the defenses, and Eterna was unwittingly acting as the essential Phoenix seal.

Huala...

Within just half an hour, using the stored power and materials from the Divine Treasury, an intimidating structure manifested out of thin air.

It was a Royal Palace, about 300 meters tall and sprawling across a massive 5-mile radius. Its Black Iron walls and spires rose to the sky, challenging the snowy hills around it.

The Spirit Gathering Array and the Great Concealment Barrier surrounded the new Palace like a protective, shimmering dome, making the entire complex virtually impenetrable and indestructible.

The atmosphere inside the Misty Valley was already heavy with concentrated spiritual energy.

Vahn, Seraphina, Lilith, and Ezekiel looked up from the ground, their faces reflecting the dark, formidable beauty of the Palace they had just constructed together.

"It's breathtaking," Seraphina whispered, her hand instinctively tightening on Vahn's. This was not just a fortress; it was the home they had sought.

"Papa, it's so big!" Eterna cheered, already trying to figure out which tower was hers.

Even the usually stoic Lilith offered a curt nod of approval. "The concealment is flawless. No one will find us here unless we show ourselves."

Vahn's smile was triumphant and utterly satisfied. The first physical foundation of his ambition was complete.

Afterward, they entered inside the Royal Palace. The Halls, The Courts, everything was empty.

Everyone chose the room to their liking.

Vahn's room was naturally the King's Bedchamber where his Queens could come anytime from their chambers.

Eterna chose a Princess room, close to her parents.

Seraphina and Light chose their opposite to each other, just down the hallway to the King's Bedchamber.

Just imagining their future days, made Seraphina happy. While Lilith calmly observed her new room with gret melancholy.

"Father, it seems your daughter found a new house. Here, I don't have to see that Vile woman ever again. I don't need to obey her orders." she murmured while looking through the window.

Ezekiel wanted choose a inconspicuous room in Subordinates Quarter, but Vahn ordered him to choose a room neart the Imperial Court so that he can attentd to duties faster.

But still, it was a great position in the Royal Palace. If he could serve well, this position will make others most envious of.

.

Vahn turned his attention to the next core task: Increasing his skills as a ruler.

From the Fifth Chamber he searched for the Imperial Lineage's Knowledge and Ruler's Cultivation Arts

To ensure his dominance on this new continent, he needed to learn to be a perfect Ruler.

Raw power alone wouldn't allow him to build a dynasty; he needed authority and control.

Vahn accessed the vast library within the Dragon Pearl. Amidst manuals for Saint and Heaven grade arts and Martial techniques, one manual stood out, perfectly complementing his current state and ambition:

The Imperial Decree of Submission (Heaven)

This was not a combat technique, but a Sovereign's Cultivation Art designed for leadership. The manual detailed how to cultivate a rare, powerful Imperial Aura.

This spiritual pressure would be compelling absolute loyalty and obedience from those weaker in soul or cultivation.

It would allow him to:

★Enforce Loyalty: Instantly recognize and suppress dissent, compelling subjects to serve his dynasty with genuine, soul-bound loyalty, ensuring Ezekiel's commitment was absolute.

★Project Sovereignty: Broadcast an aura that makes any defiance seem not just dangerous, but cosmically wrong, establishing him as the unquestioned ruler of Oslan.

★Control the Dynasty: Maintain order within his rapidly growing kingdom without having to rely purely on fear or constant surveillance.

Vahn closed his eyes, instantly integrating the Imperial Decree of Submission into his cultivation.

His focus changed from fighting prodigies to becoming a King.
