It is simply asking for death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Xuanmu Realm, the frequent destruction of cities built by humans by the Green Demon Clan had made some of these low-level Green Demon cultivators arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the rule set by the Green Demon Clan's high command that, when facing a newly built human city, a squad of at least seven Nascent Soul cultivators must be assembled first,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This person refers to all humanoid beings, not just the human race.) only under the leadership of such a Nascent Soul squad could an attack on a newly built human city be launched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator had long been unable to restrain himself from striking to destroy the eye-sore human city in the plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, it is merely a delay of a day or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming his anger, this Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator began to wait quietly for the arrival of other Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan had a strong enthusiasm for striking at newly built human cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to past experience, once a newly built human city was discovered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>within three days, other Nascent Soul cultivators from nearby would arrive one after another, gathering seven Nascent Soul cultivators to launch an attack on the newly built human city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator prepared to wait for the other Nascent Soul cultivators to arrive, gather seven people, and then personally lead the team to destroy this eye-sore human city before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daring to build a city on such a conspicuous plain was, in his view, a provocation against the entire Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan within the Mysterious Shop was also waiting quietly for the arrival of the Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through the baptism of war could his city truly take root in the Xuanmu Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mountain ranges on both sides of the plain, not only Green Demon cultivators but also many human cultivators were attracted by the commotion caused by Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many human cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm, after detecting the situation of the Mysterious Shop, hid in the shadows and discussed: \"Damn, which big shot is this? Daring to build a city right here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another idiot wasting resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, just a clown seeking attention. Building a city here, can it hold out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This fellow Daoist is rather reckless; building a city here makes him an obvious target for the Green Demon Clan, doesn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, no one believed that Ye Qingxuan's Mysterious Shop could successfully establish itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mountain ranges on both sides of the plain, the cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm who had been drawn by the commotion, whether human or Green Demon, did not leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The establishment of the new city would inevitably trigger at least one major battle at the Nascent Soul level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm, such a major battle held great attraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul cultivators of both races, upon sensing the commotion or receiving a message, rushed here one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan naturally targeted the Mysterious Shop built by Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race, their target was the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when human strong ones built cities, they did so secretly, and the locations chosen were quite remote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the Green Demon strong ones discovered them and wiped them out, the time was too short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the city builders actively invited or informed them, other human Nascent Soul strong ones simply could not react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan built the city directly in one of the most active areas for both humans and the Green Demon Clan, and moreover, in an open plain with no concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the human race and the Green Demon Clan discovered it almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the number of strong ones from both races who received the news or sensed it personally was very large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally gave the human Nascent Soul cultivators time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human Nascent Soul cultivators gathering here were mostly not there to help Ye Qingxuan defend the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they prepared to use Ye Qingxuan's city as bait to find an opportunity to hunt down the arriving Green Demon Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Xuanmu Realm had completely opened up to low-level cultivators from both realms, the cultivators of both realms fought on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a scene of a large-scale gathering of Green Demon Nascent Soul cultivators could only be encountered when humans built a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because this area was one of the most active regions for cultivators from both realms, there were not few Green Demon Nascent Soul cultivators active nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a day, the number of Green Demon Nascent Soul cultivators who had gathered reached seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Green Demon Clan, the strong are respected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other six Green Demon Nascent Soul cultivators, who were at the early or mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, naturally followed the Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator as their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering seven Nascent Soul clan members, that Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator did not immediately launch an attack on Ye Qingxuan's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned, looking around the mountain ranges, weighed the situation for a moment, and decided to continue waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would wait three more days until more Nascent Soul clan members gathered, and then launch an attack on that human new city in the plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that he feared that human new city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes in spiritual energy within the mountain ranges were naturally also sensed by this Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he feared was the unknown number of human Nascent Soul cultivators gathering within the mountain ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not take Ye Qingxuan's city seriously, he did not want to put himself in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief thought, this Green Demon Nascent Soul peak cultivator took out another message talisman and sent out a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, he sat cross-legged and waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and three days quickly went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul peak Green Demon cultivator who had been sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, an unrestrained aura descended upon this area, and a voice like a great bell declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xie Yin, is a mere newly built human city worth my personal intervention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo\" and \"Xie\" are the two main surnames within the Green Demon Clan; the vast majority of cultivators in the Green Demon Clan bear one of these two surnames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yin was precisely the Nascent Soul realm perfection cultivator of the Green Demon Clan who first discovered Ye Qingxuan's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had arrived was the reinforcement Xie Yin had contacted earlier via a transmission talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left his lips than the newcomer descended beside Xie Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the person beside him, Xie Yin smiled lightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xie Wu, this time our target; that city is secondary. The human experts hidden in the surroundings are our true objective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after detecting the fluctuations of human qi and mechanism within the surrounding mountain ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary target had already shifted from that new human city on the plains to the human Nascent Soul realm experts gathering around the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xie Yin's words, Xie Wu scanned the four directions of the mountain range, his eyes brightening as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, excellent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could breach a human city in this campaign and slay a vast number of human Nascent Soul realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not only obtain human corpses but also gain a massive amount of merit within his clan, allowing him to exchange it for the profound insights needed to break through to the Soul Transformation realm and seek the opportunity to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xie Wu's eyes grew even more fiery, and he said impatiently, \"Everyone has mostly arrived. Let us hurry and attack that city to draw out those human experts hiding in the dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xie Wu's view, those human experts had gathered specifically to protect that new human city on the plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they attacked the new human city, those gathered human Nascent Soul realm experts would naturally reveal themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xie Yin nodded and looked at the other Nascent Soul realm experts of the Green Demon Clan: \"Everyone, make your move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spoken, he and Xie Wu stood suspended in the air, gazing at Ye Qingxuan's city on the plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Nascent Soul realm experts of the Green Demon Clan who had gathered moved with perfect tacit understanding toward the city where Ye Qingxuan was located. Xie Yin and Xie Wu followed closely behind, holding the rear while secretly probing the movements of the human experts hidden within the mountain ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, within the mountain ranges on both sides of the plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Xie Yin and Xie Wu, a total of two Nascent Soul realm perfection, six Nascent Soul realm late stage, twelve Nascent Soul realm mid stage, and twenty-three Nascent Soul realm early stage Green Demon Clan cultivators had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the humans, only thirty-three Nascent Soul realm cultivators had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, among those thirty-three Nascent Soul realm cultivators, there was only one Nascent Soul realm perfection expert holding a long blade and three Nascent Soul realm late stage experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Demon Clan's mobilization was instantly detected by the human experts within the mountain ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the humans, a certain cultivator saw this formation and immediately muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk, so many Nascent Soul realm Green Demons. The brother who built this city is in for a rough time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, once a city is established, it usually has a teleportation array connecting it to the Xuanmu Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many cultivators took malicious delight in the situation, they also knew the city builder would likely not face a threat to his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, the gathered human Nascent Soul realm experts did not rashly reveal themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the Green Demon Clan's Nascent Soul realm experts left the mountain range area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the human Nascent Soul realm cultivators begin to act, setting up formations and ambushes along the edge of the mountains near the plains, preparing to seize the opportunity to ambush the Green Demon Clan's Nascent Soul realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These human experts were not foolish; naturally, they would not forcibly attack this group of Green Demon Clan Nascent Soul realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had gathered here, but they did not necessarily have to engage in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an excellent opportunity arose, these human Nascent Soul realm experts would naturally not miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could not find an opportunity to strike, they would absolutely not risk their lives by forcing an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan, who was closing his eyes to rest his spirit, sensed the qi and mechanism sweeping in from the mountain ranges on both sides. He slightly opened his eyes and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, they have come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and began to take control of the operation of the Sixth-Rank Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Great Array, enhancing the array's defensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the power of the defensive array, Ye Qingxuan had no intention of hiding his strength, directly raising it to the Sixth-Rank level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had built this city in one of the active regions of the two clans; if he truly had no backing, those Green Demons likely would not have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, without raising the array's barrier to the Sixth-Rank level, Ye Qingxuan truly had no confidence in being able to withstand the assault of these Green Demon Clan Nascent Soul realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan stood suspended in the air within the city, quietly watching the numerous Nascent Soul realm Green Demons rushing over at high speed, calculating the number of Green Demon Nascent Soul realm experts in his mind: \"Forty-three Nascent Soul realm Green Demons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number did not shock Ye Qingxuan; in fact, he even found the quantity somewhat lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had built the city here specifically to attract a sufficient number of Nascent Soul realm Green Demons to come at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to use the opportunity of city construction to hunt down more Nascent Soul realm Green Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only during the first assault by the Green Demon Clan was there such an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time of the second attack, without sufficient trump cards, the Green Demon Clan's Nascent Soul realm cultivators would no longer easily take such risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Green Demons below the Nascent Soul realm? They were not stupid either; battles at the Nascent Soul realm level were not something they could come to join in the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Overwhelming demonic energy light spheres swept over, striking the barrier outside Ye Qingxuan's city and erupting with a violent roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the city, Ye Qingxuan watched the Green Demons attacking from a distance without ever approaching, his brows slightly furrowing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So cautious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan had originally thought these Nascent Soul realm Green Demons would approach the city before launching their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the farther the distance, the weaker the power of their attacks would be when they landed on the city's shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Qingxuan did not expect that, despite gathering so many Green Demon Nascent Soul realm experts, not a single one dared to rashly approach his city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the nearest Green Demon Nascent Soul realm expert was still over a hundred li away from Ye Qingxuan's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, even if Ye Qingxuan activated the Sixth-Rank Killing Array on the city walls, he would be unable to inflict effective damage on the Green Demons over a hundred li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To rely on the Sixth-Rank Killing Array outside the city to hunt down Nascent Soul realm Green Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he would have to wait until these Green Demons approached within ten li of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ye Qingxuan did not know was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During previous sieges on human cities, any Green Demon cultivators who had advanced rashly had mostly perished under the backlash before the human cities collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any cultivator who chooses to build a city in the lower realm basically has some trump cards to rely on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the city falls, there is still a great chance to snatch away one or two rash Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alien races are merely different in species, not in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the many bloody examples ahead, facing a human city once again now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they spoke carelessly, their actions were cunning; not a single Nascent Soul cultivator of the Green Demon Clan rashly approached Ye Qingxuan's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts flowed, the roaring outside Ye Qingxuan's city never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the attacks from over a hundred li away did not cause much fluctuation to the sixth-rank shield outside Ye Qingxuan's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won't work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan pondered silently, squinting at the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan a hundred li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Ye Qingxuan circulated spiritual power throughout his body and spoke with extreme arrogance: \"Hey, you lot across there, are you tickling this city lord's city? Or did you come specifically to set off firecrackers to celebrate this city's new establishment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Ye Qingxuan secretly manipulated the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Great Formation of the city, weakening the formation's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the barrier outside the city to begin fluctuating slightly under the long-range attacks of over forty Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred li away, when Ye Qingxuan's voice reached the ears of the Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan flew into a rage. Evil Wu's eyes showed a cold glint: \"No need to test further. What they rely on must be this shell. Do they really think that establishing a city in the Xuanmu Realm is enough with just a sixth-rank guardian formation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous cases where the Green Demon Clan breached human cities, ordinary newly built human cities mostly relied on various formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had offensive formations arranged, some had defensive formations, and some had both types arranged together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, cities with only defensive formations arranged were the easiest to breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This city before them had been attacked for so long, and the array barrier outside the city had already begun to waver, yet there were still no other counterattack methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Evil Wu's view, this city was most likely one with only a defensive formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Evil Yin beside him also nodded and spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, let us launch a true offensive and give that human a lesson they will never forget!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the command, over forty Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan began to approach the city where Ye Qingxuan was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Evil Yin and Evil Wu were not the leaders of these Green Demon Clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Green Demon Clan, the one with the strongest combat power during war becomes the temporary leader during war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So under Evil Yin's command, these Green Demon Clan members did not resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the speed at which these Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan approached Ye Qingxuan's city was not fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the Green Demon Clan members secretly took out defensive magic treasures or talismans and held them in their hands, ready to activate them at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing to the very front were actually several newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators of the Green Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3017,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","00be29da8fa40d2a674174046389342710fb3c9c3326aa6b5b24cfe71998c2be","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-154","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-152",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
