Zhou Yan returned to a peaceful life. The incident on the Lord Continent was soon replaced by other hot topics.
Zhou Yan inquired about the mining situation in Yunxin City, Xuanfeng Dynasty. Everything was normal there, the mining work was proceeding smoothly, and Nine-Star Spirit Stones had been unearthed.
They also mentioned that their excavation work would likely be completed in another seven days.
The reason for such speed was entirely due to them being top-tier miners, whose speed was incomparable to ordinary ones.
Zhou Yan naturally saw the newly acquired Nine-Star Spirit Stones in his territory.
Zhou Yan was filled with great curiosity about the Myriad Worlds Lord Continent that Qian Shun had mentioned. His current territory level was only eighty, not too far from ninety.
However, the overall cultivation realm of the soldiers in the territory was still too low. Although there were buildings like the [Closed Door Training Room], there were far too few such buildings for the entire territory, not nearly enough.
Zhou Yan was also acquiring buildings that could enhance cultivation. He didn't know if they existed, but he still needed to look for them.
However, the territory's [Cinema] had refreshed again. Zhou Yan did not intend to go there himself this time.
After the [Cinema] leveled up, he no longer needed to go in person. Therefore, Zhou Yan only looked at the recently released movies, and they were all from the Ghost Blows Out series.
This made Zhou Yan very depressed, and he even suspected that it was because he had recently explored a tomb that these movies were being shown.
The people in these movies were ordinary individuals with extremely low combat power, which Zhou Yan found rather uninteresting.
The only slightly better movie was "Ip Man." Zhou Yan sent people in to bring out [Ip Man], and that would be considered a completed mission.
Nowadays, Zhou Yan would not personally enter any movie world unless it was of a very high level.
Although he desperately wanted to recruit more top-tier individuals like Li Chungang, such things were not easily achieved.
Seven days later, the excavation work in Yunxin City, Xuanfeng Dynasty, was completed. Zhou Yan instructed the miners to return to the territory. They used scrolls and were all teleported back to the territory.
The materials for Nine-Star Spirit Stones had been collected from one location. Zhou Yan took out another set of materials, and Diao Chan, who was by his side, asked, "Next, are we going to capture mounts?"
"This is monster data obtained from the [Heaven and Earth Library]. I've been thinking for a long time and feel that this kind of Phoenix Bird is very good. Not only is it fast, but it can also spew flames. It is a rare species with phoenix bloodline," Zhou Yan replied.
"Phoenix Bird. The appearance of this bird is also very beautiful, but these Phoenix Birds are all level 90 and above, with a minimum quality of Gold. They shouldn't be easy to capture, right?"
Diao Chan took the data and looked at it. She was quite satisfied with this kind of mount.
"The Flying Dragon Legion can be dispatched to capture these Phoenix Birds this time," Zhou Yan said.
"Using the Flying Dragon Legion to capture them is a good idea." Diao Chan thought it was indeed a very good idea upon hearing it.
Within the [Heaven and Earth Library], one question could be asked daily. Zhou Yan had already assigned Yin Lihua to handle this matter. During his absence, Yin Lihua was responsible for all basic territorial affairs.
This kind of building was simply bug-like. Whatever they lacked could be obtained through this method to find information sources.
Only the Flying Dragon Legion was dispatched this time; other legions did not need to be mobilized for now. This was because when facing such fast flying birds, even [Elf Archers] could not catch up.
The main reason was that their current cultivation realms were too low. If their realms were above fifty heavenly layers, they could naturally deal with those Phoenix Birds.
Zhou Yan's objective was to capture, not to kill. Assigning this task to the Flying Dragon Legion was the best choice.
At the same time, Zhou Yan also needed to go there to see if there were any monsters. If there were monsters, then other legions could be mobilized. After all, the territory had a large number of mounts and dragon riders that required a considerable amount of monster meat and blood. They couldn't just deplete their resources.
Fortunately, the territory had many dungeons. In these dungeons, they could hunt many monsters daily, and it also allowed soldiers to level up.
After issuing the order to Bai Qi, Bai Qi had already prepared the Flying Dragon Legion of the territory.
Zhou Yan knew that the first batch of the Flying Dragon Legion had been assembled for some time. He intended to form a second batch of the Flying Dragon Legion, planning to increase the number of soldiers in this legion to 100,000.
Upon the release of this news, another wave of enthusiasm erupted in the territory.
As for the selection of personnel for another batch of the Flying Dragon Legion, Zhou Yan completely entrusted Shang Yang to make arrangements.
Zhou Yan took out the coordinate stone and began to teleport according to the coordinates on the data.
The teleportation location could not be entirely accurate, but it would generally not deviate too far from the target, usually within a hundred-kilometer radius.
The entire territory began to teleport, passing through spacetime wormholes, and arriving at a new location.
As the territory descended, the machinery of the entire territory began to operate. First, the territory's reconnaissance planes, thousands of them, flew out in all directions.
Before long, many monsters appeared outside the territory, and these monsters all swarmed towards the territory.
"Monsters have appeared again." Zhou Yan flew to the city walls, looking at the dense monsters outside without any worry.
As the monsters entered the attack range of various defensive towers, they were all eliminated by the towers.
Monsters from all directions swarmed towards the territory. The highest-level monsters were over level ninety, while the lower-level ones were only in the teens.
Since there were monsters here, the army naturally needed to be deployed. They could capture Phoenix Birds while hunting other monsters.
Zhou Yan asked Sun Wu to prepare to lead his legion's soldiers this time. After giving the instructions, he didn't bother further.
Upon hearing the order, Sun Wu began to assemble the army, instructing various troops to wait for orders by the moat outside the city.
Twenty minutes later, the battle ended.
The situations reported by the reconnaissance planes from all directions had long since been clarified and sent to Sun Wu. Sun Wu began to arrange for various armies to leave the city.
Zhou Yan also quickly learned the location of their target, which was not far from them, only about ten kilometers away.
These Phoenix Birds lived on ancient parasol trees. Each parasol tree there was tens of meters wide, extremely large, like tree houses.
Legend has it that phoenixes perch on parasol trees. Although these Phoenix Birds are not phoenixes, they also like to inhabit ancient parasol trees.
The Flying Dragon Legion was fully prepared and awaiting Zhou Yan's command.
Zhou Yan did not delay and directly said, "Depart!"
A sky full of flying dragons soared towards the outside of the city, and Zhou Yan shot up into the sky, flying towards the area outside the territory.
Jin Ye had fallen into a deep sleep. As for when he would wake up, Zhou Yan did not know.
