Chapter 115: Arrangements for the Clones

March 3rd of the second year.

Ye Qingxuan arrived at the pier of Dongbincheng, where a multi-story ship flying the flag of the Tianyuan Trading Firm was currently docked.

Looking from the outside, the multi-story ship did not seem large, and the entire hull was covered with dense formation patterns.

After examining it for a moment, Ye Qingxuan walked toward the Tianyuan Trading Firm's multi-story ship.

As he approached the ship, he was stopped by two burly men whose cultivation bases he could not see through, one of whom said coldly:

"This is the multi-story ship of the Tianyuan Trading Firm; idlers keep away!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan calmly took out the golden token Manager Lin had given him before and handed it to the two men:

"I am a client of the Tianyuan Trading Firm; this trip is to go to the Eastern Extreme Region."

Of the two men who stopped Ye Qingxuan, one of them took the golden token and checked it for a moment, then nodded:

"The golden token is fine."

Afterward, he looked at the row of Golden Core Realm attendants standing not far behind him, pointed at one of them, and ordered:

"You, take this client to the multi-story ship and arrange a private room for him."

The person he pointed at, hearing the burly man's order, immediately stepped out and responded respectfully:

"Yes, Superintendent."

Then he looked at Ye Qingxuan and said respectfully:

"Esteemed guest, please come in!"

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and followed the attendant into the Tianyuan Trading Firm's multi-story ship.

The multi-story ship didn't look large from the outside, but after stepping inside, the space within was as large as a city.

At this time, on the deck of the ship, there were more than a dozen people standing sporadically along the edge of the deck, either chatting or watching the scenery in the distance.

After Ye Qingxuan came up, several people immediately turned their gazes toward Ye Qingxuan, with looks of curiosity in their eyes.

Ye Qingxuan was not sure if these people were from the Tianyuan Trading Firm or if they were clients like him, taking the Tianyuan Trading Firm's ship to the Eastern Extreme Region.

However, Ye Qingxuan had no intention of communicating or making friends with them.

Under the guidance of the Tianyuan Trading Firm's attendant, Ye Qingxuan passed through the deck and arrived at an independent private room.

Once they reached the private room, the attendant who brought him in spoke again:

"Esteemed guest, for this period of time, this private room belongs to you; outsiders will not come to disturb you. If you have anything, you can contact me."

After saying this, he left his sound transmission talisman and turned to leave the private room.

After he left, Ye Qingxuan looked at the environment inside the private room; although it was not large, it was fully equipped and decorated with exceptional refinement.

Moreover, the private room was equipped with a Fifth Order Spirit-Gathering Formation, and the spiritual energy gathered within was comparable to a cave dwelling opened up by a Fifth Order spiritual vein.

Ye Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction:

"It seems that 300,000 high-grade spirit stones were not spent in vain."

After entering the private room, Ye Qingxuan had no intention of going out for the time being, but sat cross-legged in the room, closing his eyes to rest, waiting quietly for the ship to set sail.

Until evening, a long horn sounded, and Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes:

"Setting sail?"

Standing up, Ye Qingxuan pushed open the door of the private room, walked out, and made his way to the deck.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered on the deck, all of whom had come out to watch the phenomenon of the ship setting sail.

The Eastern Extreme Region was separated from the Eastern Region by the endless sea areas; wanting to go to the Eastern Extreme Region, it was naturally impossible to advance by normal sailing.

After the horn stopped, the formation patterns covering the Tianyuan Trading Firm's ship began to activate, lighting up one by one.

And in front of the ship, a large amount of space element power gathered continuously, gradually forming a spatial vortex.

After the spatial vortex was completely formed, the formation patterns all over the ship were completely connected, bursting with dazzling light.

With a flash, the ship had already escaped into the spatial vortex and disappeared.

And at the pier of Dongbincheng, the spatial vortex that had originally formed also began to slowly collapse and return to calm after the Tianyuan Trading Firm's ship left.

By the time the ship appeared again, it had already arrived in the deep sea area of the endless sea areas.

Ye Qingxuan came to the edge of the deck, looking at the boundless deep blue sea area, feeling the sea breeze on his face, and felt refreshed.

At this moment, an ethereal voice resounded throughout the ship:

"Rest for ten years; ten years later, the ship will jump again."

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan was not surprised.

This kind of ship jump required the consumption of massive energy.

If it relied solely on spirit stones for charging, the Tianyuan Trading Firm wouldn't make much profit on this trip, not to mention losing money.

So after one spatial jump, the Tianyuan Trading Firm's ship would rest for ten years, allowing the ship to automatically absorb external energy for charging.

The ship's ten-year charging was enough to offset the consumption of 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones.

For the Tianyuan Trading Firm, spending time to let the ship charge automatically was undoubtedly a steady and profitable business.

To go to the Eastern Extreme Region, a total of seven such spatial jumps were needed to reach the near sea area of the Eastern Extreme Region.

Although letting the ship charge automatically required wasting everyone's decades of time, the Tianyuan Trading Firm could save 7,000,000 high-grade spirit stones.

A round trip was a full 14,000,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Even for the large and established Tianyuan Trading Firm, this was not a small expenditure of spirit stones, so naturally, they saved where they could.

After the ship announced the rest, some of those who had come out before returned directly to their private rooms to cultivate in seclusion.

Some took out fishing rods they had prepared early, preparing to fish and pass the time in the deep sea area of the endless sea areas.

The various spirit fish and even sea monsters in the deep sea of the endless sea areas tasted delicious.

Moreover, the meat of these spirit fish and sea monsters contained massive spiritual power, and eating them was enough to rival some elixirs that assisted cultivation.

Ye Qingxuan had no intention of interacting with these people on the ship, so after admiring the scenery of the deep sea area of the endless sea areas for a moment, Ye Qingxuan returned to his private room.

Then, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness left this External Incarnation of his and returned to his main body within the Xuantian Sect.

In the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, a look of thought appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Now his External Incarnation had a destination and was beginning to move along the right track of his previous plan.

However, he could still split off two ordinary clones; these two clones could be planned further.

The two ordinary clones only had thirty percent of his main body's cultivation base, and after being split off, they would only have about the late Purple Mansion Realm cultivation base.

Although this bit of cultivation base didn't play much of a role in the five inner regions of the Di Xuan Realm,

these two ordinary clones had an advantage that the External Incarnation did not have, which was that they did not fear the danger of death.

Once an ordinary External Incarnation fell, he could spend some spirit stones and re-condense it at any time.

Based on this characteristic, Ye Qingxuan prepared to let one of the ordinary clones walk in the Demon Region of the Qingmo Realm and the battlefield of the two worlds to explore the truth.

Although the Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm were both peak Small Thousand Worlds, in a situation where the strength gap was not large, wanting to completely decide the outcome would take at least tens of thousands of years.

This tens of thousands of years was enough for Ye Qingxuan to completely rise and not fear the danger of the Qingmo Realm.

However, "if a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand"; if he could get the latest progress of the war between the two worlds at any time, Ye Qingxuan would be more composed hiding behind the scenes.

So letting one of his own clones walk on various battlefields between the two worlds to observe the progress of the war was, in Ye Qingxuan's view, very necessary.

As for his other clone, Ye Qingxuan prepared to let this clone carry another spatial gate of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to open a shop in the outside world.

For this shop, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to acquire other materials, but only to acquire the corpses and cultivation origin of the Qingmo race, which would be used to improve his own cultivation or accelerate the growth speed of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

Sacrificing the corpses and cultivation origin of the Qingmo race only helped one's own cultivation significantly if the Qingmo race was of the same level or higher than one's own cultivation base.

So some battle teams would choose to sell the corpses and cultivation origin of low-order Qingmo races they hunted to exchange for spirit stones when the members of the battle team didn't need them.

The Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm had been at war for decades, and now the corpses and cultivation origin of some low-order Qingmo races had begun to circulate in the market of the Di Xuan Realm.

Sometimes, one or two high-order Azure Demon race corpses and cultivation origins would even appear for auction in high-end auction houses in the Di Xuan Realm.

So, the main goal of Ye Qingxuan's other clone was to acquire the corpses and cultivation origin of the Azure Demon race from the outside world.

Anyway, as the master of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Qingxuan could remotely retract the world gate of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi at any time, so he wasn't afraid of it being lost outside.

Ye Qingxuan's ambition was that after his cultivation base and the level of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi were improved,

he would use the world gate of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to connect the nine regions of the Di Xuan Realm, establish a city in the Cave Heaven, and open a trading place for cultivators of the nine regions.

By this, he would scrape resources from the nine regions to supply the growth of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and himself.

And now, it was just the first step he had taken.
