A few months had passed since Alex returned to the Southern Continent with his family.
When the many elders and servants in the palace realized that Alex had returned with his family, they were all surprised and ecstatic about it.
When the elders realized that he had a daughter too, they were even more ecstatic. They were all worried about heirs and bloodlines, so knowing there was one, they were very happy.
However, when they learned that she would be leaving for the Immortal lands just the same as Alex without ever getting married or producing an heir, they were saddened again.
Alex thought of proposing the idea of having his clone produce an heir for the throne. However, because their children would end up not being able to cultivate, he couldn't make that decision.
In the end, the elders were once again forced to accept the truth that their king might leave no heir.
Alex's master and the rest were still in the palace when he returned. So, after he was back, he prepared places for them all to stay.
They themselves didn't feel it right to stay there forever either and were ready to move away. They could have stayed there forever, but they would've forever been a guest and they didn't like that.
It took them a bit of getting into after moving away into homes that were in the city close to the palace.
Alex's family also needed some time to settle into the palace.
Most of them couldn't believe just how extravagant the palace was. They had been to the White Tiger's underground palace, but that palace wasn't any good compared to this place.
The upper palace might have been comparable, but they were never let inside there. Ronron was perhaps the most excited of all to see the palace.
She kept asking the elders what this was and what that was. The elders were surprisingly not annoyed by her behavior either.
To them, she was just a naive young child and they were more than happy to teach her everything.
"Your Highness, why don't we have a teacher come and teach you about everything?" one of the elders suggested. "That way you will quickly learn everything important from history to geography to just normal etiquette."
"Oh! Let's do that," Ronron said excitedly. "Can my parents join in on that too? And my grandma too, and grandaunt."
"Yes, everyone can join," the elder said. "I would teach it to you myself, but I am a little busy, unfortunately."
"It's understandable," Ronron said. "We did come with over a million people. Your elders must have your hand full with dealing with them."
The elders nodded.
While his family was being taught various things, Alex moved on to do his own things.
The very first thing he did was listen to every report on what had happened in the time he was gone.
He and Scarlet listened to everything and made decisions that the elders could not. They also made decisions on what to do with the many people that had just arrived.
A million different mouths were suddenly created, so they needed food and resources too.
Alex and Scarlet decided to turn the mountain range to the north, which separated the mainland continent from the wasteland, into a farming range that not only grew mortal foods but also many resources itself.

The land where the 56 spirit veins were dug out still didn't have many things growing, so Alex chose that area.
Once that whole thing was taken care of on his end, Alex went on to check his military and the royal guilds.
The army had once again increased in number from the last time he was around. It grew over the year as each year more and more joined, but this time around there was a significant increase.
Perhaps because so many people had left this time around, the elders had decided to add an extra few, bringing the total number of people in the military to above 10 thousand, of which 1400 were Saint realm cultivators.
The Alchemy, Formation, and Talisman halls were similar too. Many people had joined them as well to match the increment in the army. After all, their primary purpose was to craft pills, formations, and talismans for the people in the army.
Jai Heiyun was back in the alchemy guild and was working her damn hardest for the time she had missed while she was away.
Apparently, she had spent most of the time with her clone's children who were old enough to have their own children as well. She didn't bother going around, looking at different places, and spent all the time she had in her old house.
She had treated that as a vacation, so now that she was back, she needed to work her damn hardest.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Alex finally decided to work on his own problems as well.
Due to the sudden arrival of Hao Ya, he stopped many things that he was supposed to do after he made the Dao pill and learned the Dao of Techniques.
Due to the nature of the central continent, he couldn't practice anything there either, so he was finally getting the time to.
There were quite a few things he had to do, but for now, he focused on 3 different ones.
First, he would use the Dao of Techniques for their intended purpose. He was going to change a technique to fit him better.
And the technique he was going to change was none other than the Pill Splitting Qi. That was the technique that allowed him to split the powder in a cauldron into two halves, and then pour all the energy into it to form 2 perfect pills.
The thing he wanted to do was to change the technique so that he would instead of having to use 2 sets of ingredients, he could only use 1.
He would have to change what he called this technique afterward as there would no longer be any splitting involved in the process. That he could delay until after he had changed the technique.
The next thing he wanted to do was make a new pill recipe.
Jai Heiyun had brought him an interesting pill when she had first joined them. The Saint Spirit Immunity pill gave someone immunity against all forms of spiritual attacks for a small period of time.
Then, there was the nameless pill he bought in the auction in the Northern continent. The pill was a True rank pill that one took in advance to protect themselves against most poisons out there.
What Alex wanted to do was to either downgrade the ingredients of the Saint Spirit Immunity pill to create a True Spirit Immunity pill for his many True realm cultivators in his army. Or, he wanted to upgrade the True realm pre-eaten antidote pill.
Given the importance, Alex decided to go with the Antidote pill first.
Finally, there was the matter of Demon Eyes. He had gathered the ingredients for the paste thanks to Bai Jinghsen, so he was going to have to make those and give them to his family as well.
Once he was done with these 3 things, only then could he move on to the many other things he needed to do.
