This territory was actually a Natural Garden, and forces like Giant Stone Ridge were the first to discover it and settle here.
But Minister Qin directly ignored it.
In his eyes, forces like Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge were only small countries, less significant than his own domain. These small countries weren't integrated with the international community, and the territory's na was still blank in the international registry. Wasn't it first discovered by Lord Tianyuan?
"Naming the great territory?"
Mu Yuan pondered.
It was neither a big nor a small matter.
On a grand scale, it was an extraordinary honor, one that would be eternally etched into history for posterity to admire. Many Frontier Lords explored and pioneered lands tirelessly for this 'eternal fa.'
Beyond honor, the lord or explorer who discovered a great territory also had the priority right to exploit its resources.
However, it was only priority.
The discoverer rely nad the great territory, not owned it.
This was a land without a master, vast and boundless, filled with many unknown places, naturally not sothing the first person to set foot on this land could claim.
"Naming the great territory need not be overemphasized, after all, it's just a na. I believe we will have the opportunity to discover and na more great territories in the future,"
Mu Yuan thought.
So he rejected flamboyant nas like Tianyuan Territory.
He was also wary of the powerhouses from other great countries sniffing out clues and coming here. Tianyuan City was still quite far from the Tai Xuan Domain.
The na of a territory was usually related to its environnt and characteristics.
It wasn't that one couldn't na it arbitrarily, but there was no need.
Mu Yuan discussed with Dead Bone, Isloa, and others. Without a long debate, just half an hour later, they gave Elder Qin their answer.
"Let's call it 'Ten Directions Island.'
"Ten Directions Island? Not bad, easy to rember. I'll report this na then,"
Minister Qin nodded.
With the na of the great territory established, subsequent applications for observation bases, minor war zones, and other matters could then be swiftly arranged. Otherwise, without a na, the clerks responsible for handling the paperwork and writing reports would likely have quite the headache. The whole procedure would take much longer.
...
In the following days, Minister Qin, Shen Linglong, and Lord Feiyan left one after another.
The Broken Rock Lord, Flowing Arrow General, Weixingzi, White Shark Lord, and other powerhouses who had rushed over from the far rear and other war zones gathered together.
Sword Lord Liushi, dressed in dark cyan robes, didn't enter the city but stood atop a desolate mountain far away, overlooking the vast land.
"General Flowing Arrow has always been like this, even more unapproachable than the Lord of Han Yue City,"
Broken Rock Lord said, "But don't be fooled by his outward appearance; he's actually a warm-hearted person at heart."
Weixingzi and White Shark Lord, however, were very enthusiastic.
Weixingzi was the vice president of the Astronomical Society and also a five-star Frontier Lord, with titles like 'Astronomy Master,' 'Person of the Stars,' 'Micro-Operation Master,' and more.
He had nad several new great territories and was one of the Frontier Lords who had discovered the most new territories in the Pioneer Group.
White Shark Lord was also a five-star Frontier Lord.
In the Pioneer Group, he might have been only slightly more famous than Broken Rock Lord, but in Tai Xuan and Xuan Country, he was far more well-known.
He was the founder of the White Shark Group.
The White Shark Group was a large consortium within the Tai Xuan Alliance, with businesses throughout many territories.
Mu Yuan had heard of the illustrious na of the White Shark Group even in his early days as a Greenhand.
Back then, the new lords nurtured by the White Shark Group were strong contenders on the Trial Golden List.
Little did he imagine that, in just one year's ti, he would et the chairman of White Shark.
And to do so on rather even social footing.
"I've long admired your na."
"I've long admired your na."
White Shark too had long admired the na Tianyuan.
He had noticed Tianyuan right from the start and even investigated Tianyuan's identity, wanting to see who this newcor was and what his background entailed.
However, before he could uncover anything, he heard that Tianyuan rose like a rocket and was soon lauded as Tai Xuan's number one among the youth.
At the Festival Grounds, he dominated the competition;
In the struggle at Dragon Court, he stood out from the crowd;
And now, he heard that Tianyuan had the capability to face Legends and had even slain a being from the Legendary Realm.
How long had he been a lord?
To say he wasn't envious or jealous would be impossible; if White Shark could have been a representative in the Dragon Court competition back in the day, he could have saved years of detours.
However, Tianyuan wasn't the first lord that made him envious or jealous, nor would he be the last.
To this day, his mindset had cald a lot compared to his younger days.
Instead of envying others for their talent, it was better to foster relations while they're still young and haven't fully grown. That's what a businessman should do.
White Shark Lord had no idea this transfer station belonged to Tianyuan Territory before coming here. He had just t and chatted for a bit, then quickly set his strategy.
The last lord of his generation who had reached the extre peak, Han Yue, was sowhat unapproachable, and he hadn't managed to build a relationship before she stood in a high position in Tai Xuan.
The Sword Lord Liushi of the generation before last hadn't been so dazzling at first, but by the ti he intended to make connections, Liushi had already stepped onto the path of the invincible.
But this generation's Lord Tianyuan seed to be an approachable person.
He could use the group's advantages to slowly tighten their relationship, and in a few years, when Lord Tianyuan ascended to a high position in Tai Xuan, his White Shark Group would have already established a solid web of beneficial relations with Tianyuan Territory.
