Two years of secluded cultivation did not bring advancement to the Legendary realm.

Although somewhat disappointing, Austin was not greatly surprised.

There's no way around it; to rapidly ascend to Legendary status requires obtaining extremely pure magic material, like last time's advancement to Half-Legendary when he acquired potent magic power material.

For example, an Elemental Core of Legendary level.

Back then, Austin led the Dragon Nest Beastmen to eliminate the Fire Elemental Leader in the Volcanic Cluster Domain and consumed its Elemental Essence, thereby advancing to Half-Legendary.

And now, if he wants to advance to Legendary in a short period, only a Legendary-level Elemental Essence could help him improve.

Or, a Magic Beast Crystal Core of Legendary level could also work.

This is a higher-level metamorphosis, requiring higher-level energy to fulfill the demands of one's transformation.

Otherwise, even with the magic resources gathered by the Dragon Nest Tribe, despite having a Secret Technique for devouring the world's magic, it would still take at least over ten years to gradually achieve a breakthrough.

No choice; though the Dragon Race is powerful,

This mighty power is not without cost, and the immense dragon body requires a massive accumulation and refinement of magic power.

The inherent talent of Giant Dragons results in them possessing hundreds to thousands of times more magic at the same level compared to humans.

Thus, to advance in realm, the magic resources consumed naturally need to be hundreds to thousands of times greater.

With gains come losses, the world is very fair.

"Elemental Essence from a leader is rare, and a Legendary-level Magic Beast Crystal Core is hard to obtain; it seems we'll have to wait for future opportunities."

Even a magic beast without intelligence will undergo metamorphosis upon advancing to Legendary.

If a Golden-level magic beast's intelligence remains beast-like, then upon transforming into a Legendary-level magic beast, its intelligence becomes nearly human-like.

Some Legendary-level magic beasts even learn Transformation Techniques from human mages, turning into humans to mingle and play in the human world.

In this situation, obtaining a Legendary-level Magic Beast Crystal Core is as hard as climbing the sky.

Legendary realm, seeking urgently cannot achieve.

But it doesn't matter; anyway, with his current strength, even a Legendary doesn't intimidate him, plus he has the backing of that Celestial Dragon Island, allowing quite a bit of calm time without needing to rush.

Taking a long breath, Austin decided to end his seclusion.

Two years in seclusion, his limbs had become somewhat numb.

Uncertain about the current state of the Dragon Nest Tribe after two years of development,

It's time to go out and take a look.

Thinking of this, Austin spread his huge wings, took flight, and left his place of seclusion.

...

In the span of two years, the development of the Dragon Nest Tribe was rapid.

Its population had already broken through 200,000 people, gradually approaching 300,000.

Population explosion among Beastmen!

The cause for this was not just the absorption of new Beastmen.

Many new Beastmen were born within the Dragon Nest Tribe, and a large number of native births contributed to the swift increase in the population of Beastmen in the tribe.

And during the population boom, the number of bases established by the Dragon Nest Tribe had reached seven.

Seven bases, centered around Dragon Nest Base City, spread outwards like a web.

Large expanses of territory, centered around the bases, interconnected, firmly grasped.

As many monsters, beasts were cleared, vast plains were expanded upon.

With the help of elves, the Dragon Nest Beastmen engaged in large-scale land reclamation, benefiting from the excellent climate of Kawa Great Forest to achieve abundant harvests every quarter.

Now, regarding food, the Dragon Nest Tribe had thoroughly freed itself from the constraints of food scarcity.

Without the shackles of lacking food, it meant that the Dragon Nest Tribe's military actions were more liberated.

As one by one, Beastman tribes outside were conquered and integrated, with their population merged and trained within the military system, laying the foundation for the perpetual strengthening of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

At the same time, the spread of the Breathing Technique through the merit point system and some Combat Techniques improved by Austin had increased the number of Extraordinary individuals, rapidly strengthening the tribe's overall power.

With abundant food production from inside, and well-trained, battle-hardened military elites from outside.

Additionally, civilians responsible for production.

The systematized Dragon Nest Tribe had developed into the embryonic form of a kingdom, and this kingdom prototype had combat strength several times that of some smaller duchies.

And now, the Dragon Nest Tribe truly became a local dominant force.

Renowned far and wide.

Every year, numerous wandering Beastmen voluntarily came to join, while many impoverished Beastman tribes surrounding, faced with desperate situations, surrendered and accepted transformation into the Dragon Nest Tribe.

For in the face of nature's disasters, the Dragon Nest Tribe was their only lifeline before impending death.

Because of this, during these two years, the percentage of the Dragon Nest Legion's military actions to sweep and conquer other forest Beastman tribes had decreased progressively, as those familiar with the Dragon Nest Tribe's reputation simply surrendered upon the Legion's arrival.

For many struggling Beastmen standing between life and death, joining the Dragon Nest Tribe marked the beginning of a beautiful life.

Unable to fear the dangers of the forest, without worry of never returning from seeking food within the forest, without concern for lacking food today and none tomorrow, ensuring safety and fullness daily.

Such life was an irresistible temptation for Beastmen struggling below the poverty line.

Some bottom-tier outdoor Beastmen even eagerly awaited the day when the Dragon Nest Legion would arrive nearby, hoping to join the tribe.

Under this mindset, the willingness to resist among outdoor Beastmen was extremely low.

Consequently, the Dragon Nest Tribe's allocation of military power for conquering outdoor Beastman tribes steadily declined.

Currently, the Dragon Nest Legion's main combat targets had shifted focus to the various monsters within the forest.

Trolls, giant beasts, wolf packs, goblins, and other monsters traversing the forest significantly impacted the Dragon Nest Territory, especially those boars always inclined to destroy the crops planted by Dragon Nest Beastmen.

Of course, clearing these nearby forest monsters was the ordinary Dragon Nest Beastmen army's responsibility.

As for the most elite Extraordinary troops, they faced the hazardous zones within the forest, clearing groups of monsters with destructive power like magic beasts.

The magic resources expended by Austin for strengthening were sourced from the magic ore veins seized by the Extraordinary Beastmen troops during their monster nest clearing operations.

"Fortunately, it seems Vini has put some theories I transmitted to him into practice."

Austin soared high above, looking down at the earth below, with fields stretching far and wide, lush with crops.

Roads extended from the base city outward, spreading into the distance.

Connections among Dragon Nest Tribe base city and its bases relied on these developed roads for transportation.

Beastmen and elves worked uniformly under command in the fields.

And beside the roads, the Dragon Nest Beastmen army was arranged in tight formations, swiftly passing through.
