BTTH: I Am the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan Chapter 410 410: The Five City Lords and Twelve Tower Lords

"Everyone, what do you think of this place? I believe it's the most suitable location for White Jade Capital's headquarters!"

At the northernmost edge of the Northern Nether Continent, Xiao Tiance's voice resonated as he gestured at the breathtaking scenery before them.

The group couldn't help but marvel at the location. The terrain was flat, surrounded by mountain peaks rich in spiritual energy. A grand river flowed ahead, its rising mist giving the area an ethereal, paradise like atmosphere.

If a city were built here, the river could be integrated into the design, enhancing the area's aesthetic appeal and livability.

"Brother Ce, this place is indeed excellent. When the five cities are constructed, we can redirect the river's flow to enhance the scenery. Living here will feel like residing in a celestial realm." Xiao Tianming was the first to express his approval.

The others, including Mo Yang, nodded in agreent.

"Since everyone approves, let's begin planning the layout of the five cities," Xiao Tiance said with a smile.

A Bold Proposal

"Lord Tiance, I have a suggestion," said First Snowfall with a smile.

All eyes turned to her as she continued:

"I believe the five cities shouldn't be built too close to one another. Instead, we should encircle them with a large spiritual formation, similar to the ancestral grounds of the True Phoenix Clan. This would allow us to monitor intrusions and respond swiftly in case of an attack."

Mo Yang nodded in agreent. "That's an excellent point. Since Lord Tiance is a grandmaster of spiritual formations, we won't need to hire external help. Additionally, with Lord Tiance setting up spirit gathering formations, the cities' spiritual energy will grow denser over ti. White Jade Capital could beco the ultimate sanctuary for cultivation."

Xiao Tiance smiled and nodded at their suggestions.

A New Arrival

Suddenly, a spatial ripple appeared, and Xiao Xuan stepped out.

"Tiance, it's done. The Northern Nether Sect has completely surrendered," he said with a laugh.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan. You arrived just in ti we're currently discussing the layout of the five cities. Any thoughts?"

Xiao Xuan considered for a mont before replying:

**"Why not position the cities at the cardinal points of the Northern Nether Continent?

East: Wan Yao City (Pill City) for alchemists.

South: Si Hai City (Four Seas City) as the comrce hub.

West: Bai Yu City (White Jade City) for recruitnt and support.

North: Zhu Xian City (Execution City) for military defense against the Void Demon Tribes.

Center: Jing City (Capital) as the headquarters, housing the Twelve Towers and serving as the administrative core.

This arrangent allows Wan Yao City and Si Hai City to connect with the rest of the Great Thousand World, while Zhu Xian City focuses on defense. Bai Yu City, near the ocean, can function as a logistical and strategic hub, ensuring it won't be easily compromised in a conflict.

The central Jing City can coordinate all other cities, enabling rapid response to any crisis."**

Refining the Plan

Xiao Tiance carefully evaluated Xiao Xuan's proposal. Though it ant the five cities couldn't be linked under a single massive formation, the benefits were clear:

Enhanced connectivity for Si Hai City's comrce.

Strategic positioning of Zhu Xian City to counter Void Demon invasions.

Efficient support for all cities from the central Jing City.

dusa was the first to agree. "The Emperor's plan is brilliant. Si Hai City's proximity to other continents boosts trade, and Zhu Xian City's northern position makes it the perfect frontline fortress. The central location of Jing City ensures swift coordination."

The others quickly expressed their approval.

Building the Cities

With the plan finalized, Xiao Tiance assigned tasks:

Zhu Xian City (North):

Leads: Mo Yang and Xiao Xuan.

Requirents: Towering walls and an imposing design to deter enemies.

Bai Yu City (West):

Leads: First Snowfall and Xiao Huaien.

Requirents: Pristine white walls resembling jade, exuding elegance and grandeur.

Si Hai City (South):

Leads: Huang Jiuji, Huang Min, and Huang Lingyun.

Requirents: A well structured comrcial hub capable of accommodating 50 million people.

Wan Yao City (East):

Leads: Jiu Yuan and Shi Hao.

Requirents: A tranquil environnt suitable for alchemy.

Jing City (Center):

Personally overseen by Xiao Tiance.

"Everyone, if you lack manpower, feel free to enlist locals. I'll personally handle the spiritual formations for all cities once they're completed."

"Understood, Lord Tiance!"

The Rise of Jing City

Three days later, in the central region of the Northern Nether Continent, a grand city arose. asuring 100 kiloters on each side, it featured:

Eight towering watchtowers in cardinal and intercardinal directions.

Four central towers, surrounded by a grid of ancient Chinese style buildings.

A harmonious blend of majesty and cultural beauty.

Legacy and Design

Traditionally, White Jade Capital was associated with six paths (Tian Shen, Shura, Diyu, E'gui, Chusheng, and Renjian) and the Twelve Towers, symbolizing human virtues and aspirations.

However, Xiao Tiance chose not to fully replicate this lore, instead tailoring the cities to their practical roles.

With the cities underway, White Jade Capital's foundation was finally taking shape.

In the central hall of the newly completed White Jade Capital, Xiao Tiance sat at the head of the gathering, with dusa by his side.

After months of intense effort, the grand headquarters of White Jade Capital stood proudly, surrounded by its five major cities each nad and positioned with specific roles in mind. However, the central focus today was the formal establishnt of leadership roles, starting with the Twelve Tower Lords and Five City Lords.

The Twelve Towers and Their Nas

Unlike the nas of the five cities, Xiao Tiance kept the traditional nas of the Twelve Towers. The outer ring of eight towers was nad after the months of the year, beginning with First Month Shouyang Tower in the east and rotating clockwise to Eighth Month Zhuangyuan Tower.

The inner four towers, corresponding to the cardinal directions, were nad:

Ninth Month Chongyang Tower (West)

Tenth Month Yulu Tower (North)

Eleventh Month Qianlong Tower (South)

Twelfth Month Liehu Tower (East)

Over the past three days, Xiao Tiance used his Heavenly Supre Power to lay the foundational structures of these twelve towers and the surrounding outer walls. While the main frawork was complete, interior details and auxiliary buildings would still take at least a month to finish, even with the help of the tens of thousands of helpers dusa had recruited.

Completion of White Jade Capital

By the end of the first month, not only was the central Jing City completed, but the other four cities Wan Yao City, Si Hai City, Zhu Xian City, and Bai Yu City were also finished. Over the next two months, Xiao Tiance personally set up Grandmaster Level Spiritual Arrays for each city, ensuring their defensive capabilities and spiritual energy flow.

To crown this achievent, Xiao Tiance created a vast pocket dinsion, similar in size to the legendary Tian Wai Tian. He nad it Sacred Spirit Heaven and brought out the Sacred Spirit Peak from the Heavenly Dao Glazed Bottle, a treasured artifact of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Once activated, the Spirit Gathering Formation on Sacred Spirit Peak filled the entire dinsion with spiritual energy. Xiao Tiance watched with satisfaction as spiritual fish swam freely in the Sacred Spirit Pool.

Visitors Arrive

"Sir, representatives from the Four Seas Comrce Guild, the Luo God Clan, the Heavenly Vault Academy, and the Ghost Sect have arrived," dusa reported softly, holding a communication jade slip.

Xiao Tiance turned to her, smiling warmly. "Right on ti. Let's go et them it's ti to officially establish our sect."

dusa nodded, her gentle gaze filled with affection. Though their relationship had not yet progressed to the final step, she felt their bond growing stronger every day.

Together, they exited Sacred Spirit Heaven and appeared under a grand jade green stone plaque. Inscribed upon it in flowing, majestic calligraphy were three large characters: White Jade Capital.

The aura emanating from the plaque was so awe inspiring that anyone who gazed upon it would feel an inexplicable sense of reverence.

The Gathering

As Xiao Tiance and dusa walked toward the main hall, their presence turned heads. Many young n and won, brimming with talent, couldn't help but steal glances at the pair. The strikingly handso man and stunningly beautiful woman made for a srizing sight.

In the main hall, the bustling conversations quieted imdiately as Xiao Tiance entered with dusa. All eyes turned toward them, filled with respect and admiration.

Xiao Tiance nodded with a smile, taking his seat at the head of the hall. Then, noticing dusa hesitating to sit with him, he spoke gently: "dusa, co sit here."

The crowd was montarily stunned before smiles of understanding spread across their faces. dusa's eyes glistened with tears of joy as she took her place beside Xiao Tiance, her heart filled with a deep sense of fulfillnt.

At long last, she had beco his rightful companion and the first lady of White Jade Capital.

Xiao Tiance Addresses the Assembly

Turning to the gathered leaders, Xiao Tiance smiled warmly. **"Today marks a montous occasion. After three months of tireless effort, White Jade Capital now has a place to call ho. From this day forward, we officially stand as one united sect.

I hope White Jade Capital will be a shelter for all of you and a beacon of strength for future generations. May none of you ever regret joining us."**

Everyone stood and bowed deeply. "We greet the Immortal Sovereign and Lady dusa!"

Even Xiao Xuan and Xiao Tianming though treated as equals by Xiao Tiance joined in the ceremonial gesture to mark the gravity of the occasion.

Leadership Appointnts

Xiao Tiance laughed heartily and gestured for everyone to rise. "Now, let's set the foundation of our organization with so formalities."

From behind him, Shi Hao stepped forward with a scroll in hand. Opening it, he read aloud:

"White Jade Capital is established under the leadership of the Immortal Sovereign, with the following appointnts:

Five City Lords:

Jing City: Xiao Xuan

Zhu Xian City: Mo Yang

Si Hai City: Tong Si Hai

Wan Yao City: Huang Jiuji

Bai Yu City: First Snowfall

Furong Tower: dusa

Liehu Tower: Dean of Heavenly Vault Academy

Additional Appointnts:

Chief Steward: Liu You, overseeing all operations, equal in rank to the Tower Lords.

Senior Steward: Chen Yunqiao.

Conclusion

As Shi Hao's voice fell silent, smiles spread across the hall. Although the titles of City Lord and Tower Lord seed nurous, they were far from sufficient to encompass the talent gathered in White Jade Capital.

dusa's dual role as the sect's first lady and Furong Tower Lord was t with universal approval, as was Xiao Tianming's inclusion despite his relative lack of cultivation experience.

Everyone bowed deeply once more. "We thank the Immortal Sovereign!"
