1866 The Court Meeting

Alex greeted Yan Yating and saw the member of the royal family who wanted to put Long Hanjue on the throne. Long Hanjue himself was present in the court, getting familiar with the workings of the court.

"Now then, let us begin our court," Long Huan said and turned to Alex. "King Alex, what is it that you wanted to discuss with everyone present?"

Alex stood up and nodded before addressing them all. "The matter I wish to speak about with you, with all of you, has to do with the Intercontinental Teleportation formation," he said.

As soon as he said those words, people immediately began murmuring speculations of what it could be about.

"I won't keep you in the dark. I wish to bring the work back to how it was 5000 years ago before the central continent was devastated in the battle of the beast."

"I wish to make the world a smaller place again, by making the continents connect once more through the teleportation fields."

As soon as Alex finished speaking, many of the people began saying how it wasn't such a good idea. They were worried about the cost of maintaining such formations, they worried about the influx of new people that would come from other continents and were even worried that criminals could easily leave should they wish to if this was to let happen.

Their concerns were valid, but not so critical that it could hinder the entire operation.

"Over 5000 years ago, that was how the world worked," Yan Yating said. "People always teleported between different continents, sharing resources and whatnot. I was there back then when it was common place, and so were a few of you. You should remember that none of what you said was true back then, and neither would it be now."

"What about the cost?" someone asked. "Wouldn't it take a lot to travel between continents? The greater the distance, the more it costs to teleport around. We'll destroy our spirit vein."

Yan Yating paused. He was about to refute, but it was true that was to likely be the case. He turned to look at Alex to see what he had to say about it.

"We'll return to how it was back then fully. You will teleport to the Central continent first and then make leave for another place from there. To lower the consumption rate of the teleportation formations, we can limit to a teleport every 4 days or so."

"The logistics of it will have to be thought about later, but it can be done. Even if not that quickly, just allowing people to teleport to other continents once a month will help them a lot."

Alex's words made the people reconsider.

They talked for a while longer before coming to an almost unanimous decision to reopen the teleportation formation, but only under the condition that they could send their soldiers to the central continent so they could check who could come and who couldn't.

Alex was more than happy to comply with such a requirement. In fact, he had thought of doing the same thing.

"This will also mean that many of the people you once called 'players' will return to this or the other continents again," he told them. "You will have to be ready for that."

The court officials were more than happy to learn that there were more of the people where Alex and the others had come from.

Once the decision was made, Alex assured them that he would get the approval of the others on the other 2 continents and contact them back. Once everything was set up, they could happily reopen the Intercontinental teleportation once more.

Alex returned to the Dao domain once again, learning about the metal Daos once again.

His mother had already learned 3 dao before this, all pertaining to Fire, which came from her constantly practicing alchemy. And now, she had learned 2 more.

She had learned the Dao of Burning and the Dao of Destruction.

Ronron had ended up learning the Dao of Wood while Alex wasn't present, and Liz got closer to understanding something other than Time Daos.

The others showed improvements as well, but none learned a Dao like Helen, who learned the 2 Dao in one sitting. Many people, including her family, seriously underestimated the talent that lay within this woman.

Graham was perhaps the only one other than the older Alex and Emily who came nowhere close to learning any Dao.

His cultivation base was simply too weak, and his talent not that high, for him to learn a Dao while in his True realm. He would have to reach a higher cultivation base and try again.

Everyone left the Dao domain, letting Alex remain alone to concentrate on the Dao. It was unclear how long it would take for him to learn all his remaining Dao, so they left him and went back to the Southern Continent.

Alex spent days upon days learning the mysteries behind the two remaining Dao and got closer and closer to learning them. When he felt like he had gotten very close, he decided to try his hands and see if he could perceive the rest of the mystery in his tranced state from the pill.

As he had hoped, he truly did end up learning one of the Dao. It was the Dao of Reflection that he learned, which left him with one final remaining Dao to learn.

Alex wasn't in a hurry to learn the Dao of Rust, but he still spent some time learning this dao. The more he peered into the mystery, the more he realized how intertwined this Dao was with the Dao of Water.

As a result, the more he learned this dao, the more he learned about the mystery of water itself.

As time went on, Alex began to realize that he would have a much easier time learning the Dao of Rust if he learned the Dao of Water first.

He didn't even have to learn the Dao, but simply peer into some of the mysteries as he had with the Dao of Lightning to learn the Dao of Lightning Conduction.

Thankfully, this was the domain of Dao, so Alex had no trouble finding the treasure that consisted of the aura of the Dao of Water.

He began learning through this Dao, seeing what he could learn, but as he did so, he came to realize that the treasure wasn't as good as he had thought. Either it had grown weaker over time, or it was simply not that good to begin with.

Thankfully, there was another place where he could learn the Dao of Water, and it was even far better than the one here.

Alex left the Dao domain and arrived at the shore of the Azure Lake, a lake formed using Dao of Water from many different beasts and humans to fill the entire thing.

It was a phenomenal location that was also a treasure in its own right.

Alex sat on the shore of the lake and peered into the setting sun as the red color reflected over the surface of the lake.

He sat there peering into the mysteries of water, trying to learn just enough so he could learn the Dao of Rust. Unfortunately for him, he was a bit too talented.

As such, he ended up learning the Dao of Water instead.
