In the Immortal Demon Tribe.
Xiao Mo surveyed the stores in the warehouse.
There were over 140,000 units of food, over 1,906,000 units of wood, 1,740,000 units of stone, 910,000 units of iron essence, and a quantity of monster materials, along with a pile of items including gold coins, metal and jade artifacts, gems, and ornaments.
The territory's resource reserves were sufficient for upgrading the territory!
To upgrade the Immortal Demon Tribe from [Intermediate Tribe] to [Advanced Tribe], it required one million units of wood, 500,000 units of stone, and 200,000 units of iron essence.
The current warehouse reserves far exceeded this requirement.
With this in mind, Xiao Mo willed it, and an information prompt interface instantly appeared before him.
[Current Territory Level is Intermediate Tribe, do you wish to immediately upgrade to Advanced Tribe?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes! Upgrade immediately!"
Xiao Mo chose to upgrade without any hesitation.
As his words fell, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Immortal Demon Tribe.
Within the golden light, it was faintly visible that the territory's city was undergoing immense changes, seemingly growing taller and more majestic.
The territory's influence sphere was continuously expanding outwards, and the dozens of meters high defensive walls moved outwards with the golden light.
On the periphery, the towering ancient trees of the vast forest, rugged rocks, and dense undergrowth all transformed into flat, clean land out of thin air, with some areas even paved with smooth bluestone slabs.
This peculiar sight drew the attention of all the troops in the territory.
They all regarded this scene as a miracle from their lord, and their gaze towards Xiao Mo became even more reverent.
This strange phenomenon continued for nearly an hour.
Just as Xiao Mo was growing impatient, the brilliant golden light finally began to dissipate.
The first thing Xiao Mo noticed was the majestic palace within the city.
This palace had gained an additional thirty-three steps, and the entire palace had been elevated by nearly fifty meters.
It still featured red walls and golden roofs, with intricate carvings and paintings, appearing exceptionally opulent.
Concurrently.
A side palace was added to the left and right of this main palace, with each side palace's eaves carved with a double-faced statue of an immortal and a demon.
The territory's influence sphere had expanded several times over. The previously clearly visible defensive walls now appeared as mere lines.
Even the original city walls seemed to have become somewhat blurred.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo began to examine the information of the upgraded territory.
[Immortal Demon Tribe]
[Current Level: Advanced Tribe]
[Next Level: Novice Small City]
[Basic Buildings: Majestic City (upgrades with Forest Level)]
[Ordinary Buildings: Warehouse, Residences (thatched huts, wide-gated mansions), Defensive Walls, Watchtowers, City Palaces...]
[Special Buildings: Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool (Unique Troop Building), Ancient Nature Tree (Top Troop Building), Immortal Demon Ancestral Hall, Temple of Faith...]
[Upgrade Requirements: 2,000,000 units of wood, 1,000,000 units of stone, 500,000 units of iron essence]
[Current Status: Invincible]
[Affiliated Faction: Righteous, Good, Orderly]
Upon seeing the resource requirements for upgrading to a Novice Small City, Xiao Mo glanced at the remaining resources in the warehouse and raised an eyebrow slightly.
The warehouse still contained over 906,000 units of wood, 1,240,000 units of stone, and 710,000 units of iron essence.
This meant that the remaining stone and iron essence were sufficient for another territory upgrade, and only a little over 100 units of wood were needed to upgrade the territory to a Novice Small City.
With a small city, he could begin to establish a kingdom.
However, a kingdom established in this manner would only be a minor kingdom.
Let alone the indigenous empires in the central region, even genuine indigenous kingdoms would not take such a small kingdom seriously.
This would only be possible if the main city could serve as the royal city, and then be merged with the Heart of the Kingdom.
But these were not pressing matters; one step at a time.
After conquering the Endless Abyss region, and subsequently the Elven Kingdoms, the Goblin Kingdoms, and other indigenous forces, the resources obtained would definitely be enough to upgrade the territory to a main city.
Perhaps at that time, he could also obtain a Heart of the Kingdom, and then the kingdom would truly be an Immortal Demon Kingdom acknowledged by the rules of this world and the indigenous forces.
Xiao Mo was not in a hurry at all; his Immortal Demon Tribe was developing at a very rapid pace.
Even most of the self-proclaimed top lords could not see the taillights of his progress, let alone other lords.
Therefore, he now had ample time to implement his previous plan and begin to gradually consume the entire Endless Abyss.
As long as this plan proceeded steadily, his upgrade to a main city and royal city, and the establishment of a kingdom and empire, would naturally follow.
Hence, there was no need to rush at this moment.
At this point, another information interface, as expected, appeared.
[Respected Lord!]
[Congratulations on upgrading your territory to an Advanced Immortal Demon Tribe!]
[The influence sphere of the Advanced Immortal Demon Tribe has expanded to a radius of seventy-two kilometers!]
[The defensive capabilities of the city bearing the Territory Heart have increased twelvefold!]
[Your territory's cohesion and renown have significantly increased, currently ranking first among all lords!]
[Special Reminder: Due to its rapid development, the Immortal Demon Tribe has been listed as a top priority target by many factions!]
[Friendly Tip One: The Goblin Kingdom's favorability towards the Immortal Demon Tribe has greatly increased!]
[Friendly Tip Two: The Elven Kingdom's favorability towards the Immortal Demon Tribe has greatly increased!]
[Friendly Tip Three: The advanced intelligent beast race, the Heavenly Fox Death Servants, have greatly increased their favorability towards the Immortal Demon Tribe!]
[Friendly Tip Four: The overlord-level faction of the Endless Abyss, the Dragon race, has significantly increased their hatred towards the Immortal Demon Tribe!]
As in the past, with the territory's upgrade, its influence sphere also surged.
After upgrading to [Advanced Tribe], the city's direct radius also increased to eighteen kilometers.
And the territory's influence sphere directly expanded to a terrifying seventy-two kilometers.
It was no wonder the surrounding defensive walls had become mere lines and the city's original walls had become blurred.
Not much, the territory's influence sphere became seventy-two kilometers, a fourfold increase.
If it were upgraded to a Novice Small City, it would likely increase by at least another half.
At that time, it might be possible to directly incorporate the Natural Treant Tribe into the territory's influence sphere.
Finally, Xiao Mo's attention was drawn to the friendly tips.
What surprised him the most was the third tip: the Heavenly Fox Death Servant fox race had greatly increased their favorability towards the Immortal Demon Tribe.
But what kind of race were these Heavenly Fox Death Servants?
Since they were an advanced intelligent beast race, it indicated that this race was quite powerful.
After all, to occupy a place in the Endless Abyss, and to have their information presented alongside kingdom-level forces and the Dragon race, meant that this race was definitely not ordinary beasts.
Previously, Xiao Mo had seen an advanced intelligent beast race on the map in the Endless Abyss region, but he had never known what race it was.
Now, this beast race had revealed itself.
But what exactly were these Heavenly Fox Death Servants?
Were they the Heavenly Fox?
But that seemed unlikely...
