Chapter 546: Chapter 300 “Another 40 Years” and “The Battle for the Heir” (Subscription Request)_1

Three months had flown by in the blink of an eye.

For Milton Cheney, three months wasn’t considered a long time.

If these three months were to be placed within the Cultivation Realm, it would be even less significant.

However, although only three months had passed, the changes on Wanhulake Island were not few, and could even be described as tremendous.

In just three months, the Golden Sands Cheney Family had truly seized control over the several thousand islands of Wanhulake Island.

This was partly due to Milton Cheney’s direct intervention and intimidation on several occasions.

But it couldn’t be separated from the subtle development of the Cheney Family over the past decades.

In the recent decades, Cheney Family’s Heavenly Sea Pavilion had quietly rooted itself on nearly all the islands within the sea region of Wanhulake Island.

The act of amassing wealth allowed the birth of numerous powerful experts in Milton Cheney’s circle.

Like a snowball rolling down a hill, it grew bigger and bigger.

It was said that Wanhulake Island sea region had tens of thousands of islands, but in reality, the number was not as exaggerated.

After all, this place was just an occasional locale within the Cultivation Realm, belonging to a rather remote area within it.

In three months’ time, the Golden Sands Cheney Family had become the Wanhulake Cheney Family.

Other families were passively accepting everything that was happening under the deterrence of Milton Cheney, the Golden Core True Immortal Great Cultivator.

Wanhulake Island was not huge, but it was definitely not small either.

Therefore, not all families were uprooted by the Cheney Family during these three months; most Cultivation Families lay dormant during the Cheney Family’s campaign.

There were no Cultivation Families that lasted forever.

This time, the Cheney Family had provoked all the other major families within the sea region of Wanhulake Island.

If the Cheney Family were to decline, other families would naturally come to take a bite.

Before the Cheney Family, there were indeed Cultivation Families that had control over the entire Wanhulake Island sea region.

However, compared to the Cheney Family, those families who had previously controlled the entire Wanhulake Island sea region were much weaker.

After all, the gap between Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and the mid-stage Golden Core was more than just a little bit.

Therefore, Milton Cheney wasn’t too worried.

Like a snowball effect, at this moment, the snowball had already started rolling and would only grow larger from here on.

After all, Milton Cheney didn’t plan to leave the Wanhulake Island sea region just yet.

Having promised his family to serve as the Family Head for a century, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

In the next sixty years under Milton Cheney’s leadership, the Cheney Family would only grow stronger.

After all, at this moment, the Cheney Family controlled almost all trading methods within the sea region of Wanhulake Island.

Even the visiting Cultivators who came to the sea region of Wanhulake Island had to rely on the Cheney Family’s support.

When it was time for Milton Cheney to leave, it would also be when the Cheney Family no longer needed him.

On Heavenly Lake Island, atop a Spiritual Vein.

At this moment, Milton Cheney stood atop the Spiritual Vein, sensing the Spiritual Power overflowing from within it.

“A third-stage lower grade Spiritual Vein, currently it’s more than enough,” Milton Cheney muttered to himself.

After gaining control over the entire Wanhulake Island sea region, it was natural to begin moving the whole family to the central island within the sea region.

Heavenly Lake Island was precisely the most central island within the sea region of Wanhulake Island.

This island could be proclaimed as the largest within the entire Wanhulake Island sea region, without a doubt.

It was also the only location within the entire sea region that housed a third-stage Spiritual Vein.

Before the Cheney Family took control over the sea region of Wanhulake Island, this island was divided among four Foundation Establishment Families.

However, these four Foundation Establishment Families naturally ceased to exist.

For Milton Cheney, who was now in the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm, a third-stage Spiritual Vein was indispensable.

Even though it was just a third-stage lower grade Spiritual Vein, the help it provided to Cheney was substantial.

At least if he had ample time, there would be no problem for him to Cultivate up to the Golden Core Great Perfection on this Spiritual Vein.

As a possessor of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Milton Cheney could be described as the favored child of the Cultivation Realm.

In his Cultivation to date, he had never felt the existence of any bottleneck.

With his current speed of cultivation, maybe in about two hundred years, he could become a true Nascent Soul True Monarch.

This timeframe, when compared to the cultivation speed of other Cultivators within the Cultivation Realm, was unimaginably fast.

“How is the family relocation going?” suddenly asked Milton Cheney.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure emerged behind him.

It turned out to be a middle-aged man, already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Hearing Milton Cheney’s question, the middle-aged man respectfully clasped his hands and replied,

“Report to the Family Head, the family relocation is proceeding smoothly, with no short-sighted individuals causing obstructions.”

Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney chuckled lightly and nodded.

“They wouldn’t dare, it seems the intimidation brought by the Heavenly Spiritual Root is even greater than the deterrent of the Golden Core Realm,” said Milton Cheney.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man did not follow up with further conversation but stood motionless behind Milton Cheney.

The identity of this middle-aged man was known to no more than three people apart from Milton Cheney himself.

He was the figurehead behind the Heavenly Sea Pavilion controlled by the Cheney Family, of course, only superficially.

The real person behind the scenes was naturally Milton Cheney himself.

At the same time, this middle-aged man was also the leader of the Cheney Family’s Dark Guard, responsible for the entire Cheney Family’s information network.

“Has that delegate from the Remnant Sword Sect made any further appearances?”

“Liam Reed has already departed from the Wanhulake Island sea region; it seems he has given up on his plans within this territory,” came the reply.

Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney nodded.

As he had expected, after he had fully revealed his Golden Core True Immortal status, Liam Reed left the Wanhulake Island sea region.
