Chapter 1230: Plan to Request for Territory
Now that they were on a clock, Lin Yuan did not correct Ta Lei. He was very happy that the Horseshoe Tribe had listened to his suggestion.
Once they arrived at the boundary between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation, it would be much easier for him to communicate with them. After all, he had hopes of establis.h.i.+ng himself in the Iron Hammer Federation through the Horseshoe Tribe.
Just as he was about to ask Bei Xu about how he had been of late, Ta Lei suddenly said, “Master, now that I’m a Cla.s.s 1 Creation Master, I can request territory for my tribe from the imperial court. If you have any piece of land to your liking, let me know, and I will request it. The area at the boundary is considered unimportant by the royal capital. I’ll be able to request for a larger piece of land there.”
Lin Yuan immediately became excited.
He was building the underground base at the boundary between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. The area was remote, but it still experienced footfall.
If Ta Lei could truly obtain a territory at the boundary between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation, the Horseshoe Tribe would become the first line of defense for his underground palace.
Lin Yuan wanted the sea of bone lotus flowers to form a restricted area that would attract adventurers from all over the Startling Lines Continent.
Once he put his plan into action, it would progress quickly due to the gathering of many adventurers.
As he continued thinking, Lin Yuan asked Ta Lei, “How likely do you think that the Horseshoe Tribe will be allowed to take over all the land at the border of the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation?”
Ta Lei’s jaw dropped in shock. Such a scenario had never crossed his mind.
The border between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation was a huge area where there was even more than enough s.p.a.ce to build a city.
However, this area was also extremely dangerous.
The Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation were always at odds. There were also many occurrences of deadly fights between warring merchant groups from the Great Lush Federation.
This was why no tribe from the Iron Hammer Federation had settled in that area.
Ta Lei had dauntlessly led the entire Horseshoe Tribe to the border because Lin Yuan had suggested he do so but also because he considered Lin Yuan as his teacher and trusted Lin Yuan explicitly. As long as Lin Yuan ordered him to move, Ta Lei would advance fearlessly.
As a Cla.s.s 1 Creation Master, it might be possible for him to obtain a territory with a radius of 10 kilometers. But in order to request for the entire border, he would have to be a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master at the very least because every major city in the Iron Hammer Federation was built around Cla.s.s 4 tribes.
...
In the major cities of the Iron Hammer Federation, Cla.s.s 4 tribes held absolute power.
Ta Lei could not fulfill Lin Yuan’s interest. He pouted in self-disappointment.
“Teacher, if you want the entire border between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation, you might have to wait a long time. My grandfather says that Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters are all a bunch of old men.”
Now, Lin Yuan knew the requirement for owning the entire border between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.
When Liu Jie had used the Hurricane Owlet Moths to survey the area, they flew up into the sky to get a bird’s eye view of the area. They had discovered that the Iron Hammer Federation’s area cut into the Divine Wood Federation’s area like a needle.
Lin Yuan’s underground palace was situated within the needle. Essentially, his territory was at the crux of the link between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Wood Federation.

If this crux could be recognized by an official that it belonged to Ta Lei, Lin Yuan would definitely seize the opportunity. This would save a significant amount of trouble for Lin Yuan.
Naturally, Lin Yuan could not place his hopes on Ta Lei to become a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master.
It was not that Lin Yuan did not have the ability to turn Ta Lei into a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master but that he would not do so.
If a 9-year-old Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master appeared, it would shock the entire Startling Lines Continent. It was likely that the Divine Wood Federation would send many experts to kill Ta Lei.
This would put Ta Lei in danger.
Lin Yuan’s Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters consisted of Master Hong Shen, Hu Tian, Elder He, and Feng Shuang.
Any of these Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters could contract a fey that would take on a human form and announce itself as Ta Lei’s teacher. This would be enough for the imperial court to grant the territory.
Creation Masters’ skills lay in their abilities to nurture feys, evolve fey qualities, and heal feys and wounded roots. As such, it was difficult to identify a Creation Master based on appearances.
Frankly, if Lin Yuan stepped in personally and brought Genius along with him, the imperial could would likely also believe that he was a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master.
There were many Scholars in the Great Lush Federation. Hence, there were many more Creation Masters in the Great Lush Federation than there were in the Iron Hammer Federation.
There were many high-cla.s.s Creation Masters from the Great Lush Federation who traveled to the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation to expand their influence.
Although the Divine Wood Federation and Great Lush Federation often attacked and stole from the merchants from the Great Lush Federation, they always welcomed the Creation Masters with open arms.

Due to the lack of Creation Masters in the Divine Wood Federation and Great Lush Federation, the value of Creation Masters was a widely-accepted fact.
A high-cla.s.s Creation Master’s family or tribe would be able to take on the expansion of their family and lead in increasing their powers.
A plan took shape in Lin Yuan’s mind. However, he felt no need to tell Ta Lei of his plan yet.
“Ta Lei, let’s discuss the territory again once you reach the boundary between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation.”
Wen Yu motioned to Lin Yuan that there were only two minutes left till the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended.
Lin Yuan hurriedly turned to Bei Xu.
Bei Xu had just started putting his plan into action in the subterranean world and had many things to tell Lin Yuan.
Yet, now was the only chance he had to speak with Lin Yuan.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan denied Bei Xu that chance and used the remaining two minutes to use Star Spirit Seat to transfer a resource that he felt Bei Xu would need in the subterranean world.
This resource was the Sunlight King Lotus.
Bei Xu’s spirit qi professional rank was stuck at its current level, and Lin Yuan could not transfer any more spirit fluid to him to increase his fey’s power.
