Chapter 152

In the plains of the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

Ye Ye Qingxuan first set up a huge concealment formation.

After activating the formation to cover up the perception of the outside world in this area.

Looking at the demonic energy permeating the surroundings, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not rush to take out the city components to build the city immediately.

Instead, he took out a fourth-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill.

Ye Ye Qingxuan slowly guided the energy out of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill and released it into this space.

The energy of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill collided with the demonic energy, instantly emitting a harsh sizzling sound.

The demonic energy was continuously purified by the energy of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill.

In the process of purifying the demonic energy, the energy of the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill was also gradually worn away.

However, the demonic energy permeating the plain is only the lowest-order first-order demonic energy, and the energy in the fourth-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill belongs to the fourth-order level.

Therefore, a wisp of fourth-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill energy can purify dozens of wisps of demonic energy in the plain.

Since he did not directly detonate the Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill, Ye Ye Qingxuan spent three hours purifying the demonic energy in this area.

After the demonic energy in this area was purified, Ye Ye Qingxuan immediately took out all the city components and began to arrange them according to the Jiugong and Eight Trigrams pattern.

Rows of city walls and palace buildings of various shapes were combined in the air under Ye Ye Qingxuan's control.

In a short while, all the city components had been combined in the air into a small city ten miles long and wide.

Although the city is ten miles long and wide, it is not a square shape.

The entire city is combined into a huge Jiugong and Eight Trigrams pattern, with a total of eight city gates.

After the city was built, under Ye Ye Qingxuan's control, it landed directly on the plain.

Then, Ye Ye Qingxuan began to lay the floor on the streets of the city.

For these floors, Ye Ye Qingxuan was not too extravagant, using only first-order spiritual materials.

However, Ye Ye Qingxuan also carved array patterns on the floor.

After the floor was laid, Ye Ye Qingxuan activated the array patterns on the floor to make the floor completely integrated with the city.

Looking at the city in front of him, Ye Ye Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

The entire city is divided into nine areas, corresponding to the nine palaces in the Jiugong and Eight Trigrams.

Taking out 30,000 supreme-grade spirit stones and placing them in the central palace of the city, Ye Ye Qingxuan began to activate the dense array patterns in the city one by one.

As the array patterns continued to light up and activate, a faint energy shield slowly emerged around the entire city.

This energy shield can continue to strengthen with the intensity of the attack it suffers.

Its upper threshold is the limit value of the attack intensity of an ordinary early-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivator.

In the future, this city will be the foothold for Ye Ye Qingxuan's clone, the Mysterious Merchant, in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

Ye Ye Qingxuan did not think much about the name of the city and directly named it—Mysterious Mall.

After the formation was activated, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not immediately cancel the concealment formation outside the city.

During the time the city was being built, the demonic energy in other areas of the plain had already begun to gradually spread here, filling in the demonic energy that Ye Ye Qingxuan had purified.

Regarding this, Ye Ye Qingxuan had long had countermeasures in his heart.

He took out eighty-one fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees from his storage ring.

It has only been more than thirty years since the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land advanced to the third order, and the thousands of Spirit-Cleansing Trees planted later have not yet grown to the fifth-order level.

These eighty-one fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees are the batch of Spirit-Cleansing Trees that Ye Ye Qingxuan planted in the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land earliest and had never sold.

On the trunks of these fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees, there are array patterns that Ye Ye Qingxuan's main body had carved long ago.

Ye Ye Qingxuan planted these fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees around the Mysterious Mall respectively.

Then he activated the array patterns connected to the fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees to set up a crude fifth-order purification formation to amplify the ability of the fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees to purify exotic energy.

After the fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees were planted, under the blessing of the fifth-order purification formation, they began to actively attract the demonic energy from afar.

I saw the demonic energy that was originally slowly spreading towards the city.

Under the attraction of the fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees, it began to form vortices and attack the city.

When they were about to approach the city, these demonic energy vortices were absorbed by the eighty-one fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees, continuously converting into rich first-order spiritual energy and pouring it into Ye Ye Qingxuan's city.

Fifth-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees can purify up to fifth-order demonic energy.

Using them to purify the first-order demonic energy spreading on the plain is naturally an easy task.

Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at the gradually thickening first-order spiritual energy in the city, but he was not happy; instead, he frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems that I have to find a way to get a fifth-order spiritual vein source."

To attract cultivators to the Mysterious Mall, the spiritual energy in the city is an indispensable existence.

There is only first-order spiritual energy in the city; although fifth-order Nascent Soul cultivators can also absorb and use it, the conversion efficiency is too slow.

If he relies entirely on spirit stones to fill the high-order spiritual energy in the city, Ye Ye Qingxuan cannot afford it for a long time.

Ye Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment.

Perhaps, when his next batch of thousands of Spirit-Cleansing Trees grows to the fifth order, his fifth-order spiritual vein source will have a place to land.

After the overall layout of the city was completed.

Ye Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, and three hundred second-order wood puppets appeared in the Mysterious Mall.

Operating a city naturally cannot rely solely on his clone alone.

As for recruiting other cultivators in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm to maintain the operation of the city? Cultivators who come to the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm at the risk of their lives are basically here for the Green Demon Clan.

Except for cultivators backed by major forces.

For ordinary loose cultivators building cities, basically don't expect to recruit other cultivators in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm to operate the city.

Unless you are willing to share a large amount of the city's profits directly with others.

So Ye Ye Qingxuan never intended to recruit other cultivators to operate the city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm for him from the beginning.

Although second-order wood puppets have no self-consciousness, they are extremely simple to control when not fighting.

Ye Ye Qingxuan's Mysterious Merchant clone can easily control these second-order wood puppets with his spiritual sense as long as he is within the Mysterious Mall.

Using these second-order wood puppets to manage the shops and caves in the city and maintain order in the city is enough.

The sixth-order lower-grade Jiugong and Eight Trigrams formation not only has defensive functions but also suppression functions.

Within the city, even early-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivators will be suppressed by the sixth-order lower-grade Jiugong and Eight Trigrams formation.

After releasing the three hundred wood puppets and placing them behind the eight city gates and major shop buildings.

Ye Ye Qingxuan took out a storage bag and handed it to a wood puppet in a special building in the center of the Mysterious Mall.

What is contained in the storage bag is the various resources of the fifth order and below that Ye Ye Qingxuan prepared in advance to operate the Mysterious Mall.

The major shops in the Mysterious Mall all have a small teleportation array connected to this building.

This building is equivalent to a special operation center that can dispatch the supply of goods throughout the Mysterious Mall.

After everything was ready.

Ye Ye Qingxuan came to the plaza of the city.

Taking out the array base received at the City Lord's Mansion of Ancestor Xuanmu City, Ye Ye Qingxuan began to set up a large teleportation array on the basis of this array base.

A teleportation array for short-distance transportation of items can be set up by a third-order formation master.

A teleportation array for long-distance transportation of people requires at least a fifth-order formation master to set up. Now Ye Ye Qingxuan is already a sixth-order formation master, and with the help of the already built array base, it is not difficult to set up a teleportation array leading to Ancestor Xuanmu City.

The moment Ye Ye Qingxuan set up the teleportation array and activated it.

In the teleportation plaza of Ancestor Xuanmu City, a light gate began to slowly emerge.

Above the light gate, there was a line of text, which was the four big characters "Mysterious Mall."

The appearance of the teleportation gate leading to the Mysterious Mall immediately caused a stir in the teleportation plaza.

Because cultivators who have been in Ancestor Xuanmu City for a long time naturally know that this is someone building a city somewhere in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm, and a teleportation array has just been established.

However, after the light gate of the teleportation array leading to the Mysterious Mall appeared, although it attracted the onlookers of a group of cultivators.

But no cultivator teleported to the Mysterious Mall rashly.

At this time, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who registered for Ye Ye Qingxuan also sensed the changes in the teleportation plaza of Ancestor Xuanmu City.

Looking up, he saw the four big characters "Mysterious Mall" on the newly appeared teleportation light gate.

This Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was a little surprised:

"It's actually that kid's city? Built so quickly?"

However, he was only surprised by the speed of Ye Ye Qingxuan's city construction.

Building a city is not difficult; wanting to truly succeed in building a city and establish a firm foothold in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

The attacks from the Green Demon Clan cultivators that need to be faced after building the city are the real difficulties.

Many cultivators who chose to build cities fell under the attacks of the Green Demon Clan.

For so many years, the cultivators of Ancestor Xuanmu City have witnessed many teleportation light gates of cities appearing in the plaza, only to slowly perish.

Therefore, after the teleportation light gate of the Mysterious Mall appeared, the cultivators of Ancestor Xuanmu City only watched and did not rashly teleport directly to the Mysterious Mall to find out.

Up to now, the cultivators who can truly succeed in building a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm and stand firm are all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from major forces.

Only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who have entered with a large amount of resources and trump cards can truly build a city and establish a foothold in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

The rest of the loose cultivators and cultivators from small forces basically ended in failure.

In the past ten years, those who built cities in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm were basically individuals or small groups.

For those major forces.

Compared to the meager resources brought by the small flow of people in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

The Di Li Xuan Realm, as the base camp, is the main venue for all major forces to obtain resources.

They are very willing to let them go to war to hunt the Green Demon Clan.

But if they are asked to waste resources to build a city in a small, fallen Small Thousand World below, they are very unwilling.

In their view, this will only waste time and energy, trap the disciples under their sect in one place, and drag down the cultivation speed of the disciples in the sect.

For forces located in the middle tier.

Even if they have enough resources, they will not waste resources on building a city to gamble on the future of the city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

Because even if the city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm is developed, what is obtained are some low-order resources or low-order Green Demon Clan corpses.

Low-order resources cannot make them go further.

Therefore, building a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm, for these forces located in the middle tier themselves, is a bit of a pity to abandon and tasteless to eat; there is simply no great motivation.

Only a very few small forces located at the bottom.

Will act like gamblers, taking out a large amount of resources to build a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm to seek a breakthrough.

After all, if the city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm is really developed, the low-order resources and low-order Green Demon Clan corpses obtained can completely improve the overall strength of these small forces.

Maybe they can even go further because of this.

Only when the goal can arouse enough desire can people have enough motivation, and cultivators are no exception.

Therefore, those who currently build cities in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm are basically individuals or small groups; those who truly use the entire force to go down to the lower realm to build a city are very few.

But among individuals or small groups, ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, even if the city is built, do not have enough trump cards to protect the city.

Only those disciples from major forces can obtain high-order resources more easily, and only then do they have the qualifications to protect the city and keep it standing in the attacks of the Green Demon Clan.

But having said that, most of those disciples from major forces are more willing to believe in their own strength.

They are not willing to be trapped in a city for some uncertain external objects.

Building a city can certainly bring considerable benefits, but what they value more is the improvement of their strength.

After building a city, they might be able to acquire some Green Demon Clan corpses, but the Green Demon Clan corpses acquired are basically low-order Green Demon Clan corpses that other cultivators cannot use.

For disciples of major forces with impressive strength, choosing to build a city, if not managed properly, is very likely to drag down their own cultivation.

Therefore, currently, only a very small number of disciples from major forces are willing to build a city and enter the game.

More forces and cultivators are more willing to choose to operate flexibly in the nine fallen Small Thousand Worlds and hunt the Green Demon Clan to improve themselves.

This is also the real reason why only one or two out of ten succeed in building a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm today.

Those who have the strength to build a city mostly look down on the benefits of building a city.

They kill the Green Demon Clan, which can also contribute to the Di Li Xuan Realm and speed up the improvement of their own cultivation base.

Those who lack strength do fancy the benefits brought by building a city, but most of them cannot hold the city, right?

And these factors are well known to this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator responsible for city registration.

From beginning to end, he did not believe that a Golden Core Realm cultivator like the Mysterious Merchant could succeed in building a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm and stand firm.

Withdrawing his gaze, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator whispered, "Kid, I hope you can hold on for a little longer!"

On the other side.

In the plaza of the Mysterious Mall, after the teleportation array connecting to Ancestor Xuanmu City was set up.

Ye Ye Qingxuan canceled the concealment formation outside the city.

To celebrate the establishment of his first city, the Mysterious Mall.

Ye Ye Qingxuan curled his lips and took out 8 third-order Nuclear Explosion Pills from his storage ring.

He threw these 8 third-order Nuclear Explosion Pills rapidly in all directions of the Mysterious Mall and then detonated them directly.

Boom, boom, boom... Violent explosions kept ringing out.

The explosions and violent energy fluctuations on the plain soon attracted the attention of the Human Race and Green Demon Clan cultivators in the two mountain ranges at the edge of the plain.

This is also Ye Ye Qingxuan's main purpose for detonating the Nuclear Explosion Pills.

If you don't make some noise, how can you attract more Green Demon Clan members to attack the city?

In order not to arouse the wariness of the Green Demon Clan, Ye Qingxuan specifically used third-order Nuclear Explosion Pills.

The explosion of a third-order Nuclear Explosion Pill is comparable to the self-detonation of a perfected Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, comparable to a full-strength strike of the Golden Core Realm.

This little energy fluctuation can attract the attention of the Green Demon Clan in the two mountain ranges not far away without arousing the wariness of these Green Demon Clan members.

Sure enough, the commotion caused by the eight third-order Nuclear Explosion Pills successfully attracted the attention of the Green Demon Clan in the mountain ranges.

After the energy fluctuations subsided.

The powerhouses among the Green Demon Clan all explored Ye Qingxuan's Mysterious Mall.
