For 10 minutes straight, everyone kept on staring at the Dragon Palace. Everyone snapped out of their daze only when Aditya suddenly teleported right in front of them.

Teleporting in front of the three goddesses, Aditya looked at them with a proud smile. "Everyone let's head inside." Following Aditya, Julia, Alicia, Riya, and thousands of other Dragonians began to enter the Dragon Palace.

As soon as Aditya stepped his foot inside, his lungs were filled with pure air. He could tell the air inside the dragon Palace was purer and had more oxygen density. Also, the density of Mana inside the Dragon Palace was a few times denser than outside. The denser the mana was the faster one's cultivation would be.

Beyond the southern entrance, there was a 25 meters big road that lead them to the Dragon Palace which stood at the very center. Green grasses were growing on both sides of the road. On the right side, there were an empty 200 meters big training ground. While on the left there was a 200 meters big and tall building which was the residence of the Dragonians. The Dragonians can stay in this building to cultivate peacefully.

And finally 20 meters in front of them, there was a Dragon Palace. Standing very tall, high, and bathing in sunlight, reflecting a golden radiance, this was the home of the Dragon Monarch.

"Let's go inside." Following Aditya thousand of Dragonians entered the Dragon Palace. Some powerful cultivators whose below 5th order tried to blend in with thousands of other Dragonians and sneakily enter the Dragon Palace.

However, as soon as they tried to step inside, their entire bodies exploded into a blood mist. Seeing what happened, others who were trying to sneak inside immediately changed their mind and decided not to enter the Dragon palace as they didn't wish to explode like this. The Dragonians remained unfazed seeing something like this. Every Dragonian had a feeling that nothing will happen to them.

In fact, to every Dragonian, the Dragon Palace felt more like a home. Just the thought of living here excited them very much. They felt like they were finally returning home. Just getting close to the Dragon Palace gave them a sense of peace and calmness.

As the owner of the Dragon Palace, Aditya can decide who will be able to enter the Dragon Palace. "If I cultivate here for a month or two, I can increase my cultivation up to Peak 3rd-order." Alicia excitedly said while looking.

Seeing this Aditya just smiled and responded. "From now on, I am planning on staying here. Though it will take a while to move everything." Without even needing to say it, Alicia, and Riya can stay in this place for as long as they wish to.

"Aditya, can I build a herbal garden here? Since Mana is denser in the Dragon Palace compared to the outside world, I feel herbs will grow faster and also will be of much higher quality."

"Soon I am planning on creating a large Mana gathering array which should increase the mana density of the Dragon Palace by a few more times. After I finish creating a Mana gathering array, you can grow herbs here, I have no problem with it." Aditya knows that each time the Dragon Palace is upgraded after gathering sufficient materials, the Dragon Palace's size and shape will increase. Maybe after reaching level 2, the range of the Dragon Palace will increase from 25 km to 50 km and the size of the Dragon Palace might increase to 2000 meters.

"Aditya, I hope that you do realize that with the Dragon Palace built in this place, more and more people will start to settle around it. So the center focus of the Istarin Empire has changed. I am sure within the next few months, the population of Azure city will increase. In a few years, it is very possible that Azure city will expand everywhere within a 25 km range of the Dragon Palace." What Riya was saying was right. Given the boost that the Dragon Palace provided to the land and the people living within its range, it is very possible that a huge quantity of people will come to live around it.

"I will start taking measures for something like that." Putting this matter aside, Aditya right now had another worry. As a Divine Dragon, Aditya can feel the importance of the Dragon Palace. Just being near it made him feel more powerful. The Dragon Palace is the holy ground for the Dragon race. Aditya wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow a huge number of dragons and Wyverns came and decides to live near the Dragon Palace. What worried him was the fact that this might attract the attention of 5th-order Dragons or some Empires might send 5th-order cultivators to investigate. Knowing that the Dragon Palace can currently defend itself from only Peak 4th-order cultivators and cannot stop any 5th-order cultivators from entering it, worried Aditya.

The Dragon Monarch can deal with any Peak 5th-order cultivators but the problem was Aditya always won't be around to protect and defend the Dragon Palace. So he needed to do something to raise the security of the Dragon Palace so that not even 5th-order cultivators can enter this place.

Aditya pushed the two 20 meters giant golden doors. As soon as the golden doors were pushed open, Aditya and others got to see what lay inside the Dragon Palace.

Lustrous braziers encompassing each of the twelve soapstone columns light up most of the throne hall and bathe it in an orange glow. The white crystal chandeliers hanging from the bowed ceiling dance in the flickering light while statuettes look down upon the limestone floor of this regal hall.

A sapphire rug runs from the throne down the center and loops back from both left and right while pointed banners with adorned crowns hang from the walls. Between each banner, a few of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the statuettes of the Dragon Monarch himself.

Vast windows are covered by curtains colored the same sapphire as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with fine patterns and embellished borders.

A radiant throne of carved rock sits in front of a giant painting of the Istarin kingdom and is adjoined by two similar, but undecorated seats for visiting royalty of other nations.

The throne is covered in sacred engravings and fixed on each of the rather slim feet is a crystal trident. The broad pillows are a dark sapphire and these too have been adorned with emblazoned corners.

Those awaiting to be heard by their royal highness can do so on the plethora of lavish, but relatively simple maple benches, all of which are facing the throne in a wide V-shape. Those of higher standing can instead take seats in the opulent balustrades facing the throne.

"So this is the throne hall." Aditya slowly stepped toward his throne. After sitting down on the throne, Aditya looked at everyone who was standing before him. Aditya looked at the three goddesses. As if understanding what he meant, the three goddesses began to walk toward the throne. Riya and Alicia stood on Aditya's right and left sides while Julia stood behind throne.

Watson and thousand of other Dragonians who were present at the same moment went to one knee and then lowered their head while placing their right palm on top of their hearts.

[Hail to the Dragon Monarch.]

Aditya's lips slightly curved up. Before coming to this world, Aditya never imagined himself as the King. He was a politician and wanted power to even bend the laws of the old world, right now, his aim had changed. Aditya wanted the Istarin Empire to become the strongest Empire on the entire planet. Maybe his aim was driven because of his nature as a Dragon. But one thing was clear Aditya was very far away from fulfilling his ambitions.

『Ding! The host has officially become the Dragon Monarch. However, the Dragon Monarch's path to reaching the top is still filled with thousands of obstacles and difficulties. To stand at the top of all existence, the host will need to overcome all those obstacles and difficulties.』

『To upgrade the Dragon Palace to level 2, the host must gather the following materials while also completing some requirements.』

1. 100 tons of gold [0/100]

2. 100 tons of refined iron [0/100]

3. Increase the number of Dragonians to 50,000 [2,909/50,000]

4. Increase the number of Dragon Warriors to 5,000 [109/5,000]

5. Find the Tree of Blood [0/1]

6. 10 tons of Mana stones [0/10]』

For a moment Aditya didn't know what to say. Where would he find the Tree of Blood? He never even have heard this strange name before. 'Maybe Riya would know something about this tree.' Riya was the goddess of nature and as the goddess of Nature, she should know about this tree.

'Getting 10 tons of mana stones shouldn't be a problem for the Istarin Empire given that we have recently gotten mana stone mines in the southern region. As for increasing the number of Dragonians and dragon Warriors, in a few months, these two requirements should be completed. I can also easily get 100 tons of refined iron. The main problem is how would I find 100 tons of gold?' Aditya would either need to attack some Empire that has gold mines or he would have to plunder gold through various invasions.

"Alright, what are you thinking?" Julia and others noticed Aditya looking lost in his own thoughts.

"Oh...I was thinking about the necessary steps that I should take to increase the size of the Dragon Palace. But for now, that can wait." Aditya then turned to the thousands of Dragonians.

"Everyone, there will be some rules on staying in the Dragon Palace. As you know that unfortunately, the Dragon Palace is not big enough to allow everyone one of you to live here. So every Dragonian will be allowed to stay and cultivate inside the Dragon palace for 7 days. After 7 days, each of you will have to wait two months before you can return here to live. Aside from that, as long as anyone is free of duties, they can cultivate in Azure city."

"Depending on your performance and merits, the 7 days duration can be extended by Watson." Everyone bowed their heads to Aditya once again before leaving the throne hall. Only Watson was left standing in the throne hall.

"Your Majesty, I can't believe you caused another huge storm. Now, what should I tell the public?" The people and everyone is going to demand some form of answer after seeing the Dragon Palace. The entire Dragon palace just appeared in near the Azure city. Truthfully speaking, even Watson, Julia, Riya, and Alicia all wanted to ask Aditya how he did that.

Aditya understood this. Watson was hoping that Aditya would tell them how he did it. "Watson, I can't answer anything for now. But I promise I will answer your questions one day. If any kingdom or Empire sends their people to ask such questions, tell me that I have inherited this Dragon Palace from an ancient ruin."
