Toast to the bright moon

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method.
This was indeed a beautiful thing.
However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive.
Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era.
If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains?
To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas.
Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step.
In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian.
Who is the Human Emperor now?
It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

In addition, a heavy military presence must be stationed in the immigrant areas, responsible for clearing out wild beasts, bandits, resistant locals, as well as suppressing any unrest among the immigrants.


Which of the above is not an extreme drain on resources?


During the hardest times, to support these immigrants, develop new territories, and maintain local garrisons, Chu State had to expend tens of millions of stones of grain each year, and an equal amount of silver.


Originally, to sustain this consumption, Lu Yuan had invested the entire production of three counties and seventeen prefectures, over six million subjects, into this immigration project, and even then, had barely managed to get by through external plundering.


Thus, what we see today is the flourishing outcome after all the hardship, the achievement of a great empire.
