Chapter 170: None of My Business

To this day.

No one knows exactly how vast the Endless Sea is, or exactly how many continents lie within it.

Even the Profound Yi Tianzong, with its millions of years of heritage, only possesses sea charts for the Endless Sea leading to the four outer regions of the Di Xuan Realm.

It is not that the Profound Yi Tianzong lacks the strength to explore the entire Endless Sea, but rather that there is no necessity.

Mahayana Realm powerhouses can traverse regions rapidly by performing spatial shifts.

Any major disturbances or intense energy fluctuations within the Endless Sea are under the surveillance of the various hegemon-level factions.

Otherwise, the human race of the Di Xuan Realm would be unable to keep the demon race within the Endless Sea in check.

However, being able to monitor major disturbances and energy fluctuations in the Endless Sea.

Does not mean these hegemon-level factions are willing to spend the time and effort to map the entire Endless Sea step by step.

To put it bluntly, aside from existences above the Tribulation Realm, other things do not catch the eye of these long-standing hegemon-level factions.

Minor matters that do not affect the overall situation are not worth them making a great fuss.

Three months later.

The Tianyuan Trading Company's merchant ship finally arrived at a dock in the Eastern Extreme Region.

This dock was also a property of the Tianyuan Trading Company and one of the strongholds they had established in the Eastern Extreme Region.

After arriving at the dock, Manager Lin, who had previously sold Ye Qingxuan his boarding pass, appeared once again. Looking at the crowd already gathered on the deck, he said loudly: "Everyone, we have arrived at the Eastern Extreme Region. Please feel free to go about your business!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan did not pay attention to the others; he left the merchant ship on his own and fled toward the depths of the Eastern Extreme Region.

Watching Ye Qingxuan's departing figure, Manager Lin's eyes flickered as he stared at him for a moment.

But in the end, he withdrew his gaze, abandoning his original intentions.

Turning his head, he subconsciously looked at the few people on the deck who were chatting and laughing as they walked slowly off the ship, an inexplicable look appearing in his eyes.

After leaving the merchant ship, Ye Qingxuan was in no rush to travel.

The Eastern Extreme Region was not like the Eastern Region, where large cities all had teleportation arrays.

In the Eastern Extreme Region, except for cities under the rule of the same faction that had built interconnected teleportation arrays.

In other areas, there were simply no teleportation arrays for long-distance travel.

Therefore, cultivators in the Eastern Extreme Region often relied on their own flight to travel, and cultivators moving across regions were extremely rare.

Under these circumstances, Ye Qingxuan was naturally helpless.

Before finding a suitable location to build a city, he could only rely on flying.

But flying in the Eastern Extreme Region, where demon beasts and humans coexisted and no major faction suppressed everything, meant he might encounter danger at any moment.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan prepared to first open the boundary gate, transport some items over from his main body, and then continue his journey.

After arriving at a secluded mountain forest.

Ye Qingxuan set up an array and opened a crude cave dwelling.

With everything prepared, he opened the boundary gate that his external incarnation had been carrying, connecting it to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi.

In a moment, a storage bag floated out from the boundary gate and landed in Ye Qingxuan's hand.

Opening the storage bag, Ye Qingxuan took out a Boundary-Suppressing Tower and began to sit cross-legged, refining it on the spot.

Previously, on the Tianyuan Trading Company's ship, for the sake of caution, Ye Qingxuan had not opened the boundary gate to transfer the Boundary-Suppressing Tower to his external incarnation.

Ever since Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base broke through to the late Nascent Soul Realm and his attainments in the Dao of Artifacts rose to the mid-sixth order.

He had taken the opportunity to upgrade the grade of the four Boundary-Suppressing Towers to mid-grade magic treasures.

As for why he did not upgrade them to the upper-grade magic treasure level? It was because with a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation base, using upper-grade magic treasures was still somewhat strenuous, and he could not sustain combat for too long.

Inside the storage bag, besides one Boundary-Suppressing Tower.

There was also a mid-sixth-order flying boat, three mid-sixth-order combat puppets, a stack of various sixth-order talismans, and over a thousand fifth and sixth-order array disks.

The precious materials needed for combat puppets were far more numerous than those for auxiliary puppets. With the current influence of the Tianfu shop, Ye Qingxuan had only managed to collect enough sixth-order spiritual materials to refine three mid-sixth-order combat puppets.

To collect the heavenly materials and earthly treasures for refining sixth-order puppets, Ye Qingxuan had spent nearly 150,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.

Ye Qingxuan sent all three refined mid-sixth-order combat puppets to his external incarnation.

On the mid-sixth-order combat puppets, Ye Qingxuan had inscribed several top-tier spells.

Although they might still struggle against mid-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivators, they should have no problem dealing with ordinary early-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivators.

The energy source for these three sixth-order puppets used the lower-grade spirit crystals Ye Qingxuan had obtained in exchange for his nuclear bomb pill recipe.

Ye Qingxuan had gone to such lengths precisely to ensure that the mid-sixth-order puppets he built had no obvious weaknesses.

Even for that mid-sixth-order flying boat, Ye Qingxuan had meticulously crafted it, using six lower-grade spirit crystals to set up an energy-gathering array as its power source.

Using up his only 30,000 lower-grade spirit crystals had made Ye Qingxuan's heart ache for quite a while.

Those were spirit crystals exclusively for high-order cultivators! Aside from using points to exchange for them in the Di Xuan Realm Alliance, Ye Qingxuan had yet to obtain a stable channel for acquiring spirit crystals.

It could be said that, up to now, every one of Ye Qingxuan's 30,000 lower-grade spirit crystals was one less for the future.

It was no wonder Ye Qingxuan felt heart-stricken.

However, his external incarnation was of great importance.

For the safety of his external incarnation, Ye Qingxuan had to be as thorough as possible.

Preparing all his trump cards for his external incarnation so that it could better establish a foothold in the Eastern Extreme Region.

Ye Qingxuan believed that what he paid today, he would sooner or later earn back in the Eastern Extreme Region.

Just as Ye Qingxuan was refining the Boundary-Suppressing Tower.

A great battle was erupting several hundred miles away.

This battle was a siege by a group of bandit cultivators from the Eastern Extreme Region against Han Ming and his party.

It was quite a coincidence.

Among the cultivators who had taken the Tianyuan Trading Company's ship to the Eastern Extreme Region for training.

None of the few people who agreed to Han Ming's invitation had protectors accompanying them.

The party they formed consisted either of fallen scions of wealthy families whose clans had been destroyed and who were heading to the Eastern Extreme Region to hide from powerful enemies.

Or, like Han Ming, they were truly scions of large families who had snuck out to train.

Perhaps because they were like-minded, these people readily agreed to Han Ming's invitation.

The few hit it off immediately, preparing to venture through the Eastern Extreme Region together and experience a different kind of life.

Yet they did not expect that as soon as they were far from the Tianyuan Trading Company's ship, they would suddenly be intercepted.

Now that Ye Qingxuan was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, a distance of a mere few hundred miles was naturally within his sensing range.

Sensing the combat fluctuations, Ye Qingxuan, who had been closing his eyes to refine the Boundary-Suppressing Tower, opened them.

Putting down the Boundary-Suppressing Tower in his hand, Ye Qingxuan stood up.

He took out dozens of array disks he had just transported over and re-arranged a small sixth-order protective array.

After finishing all this, Ye Qingxuan clapped his hands, smiled with satisfaction, sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and resumed refining the Boundary-Suppressing Tower.

To live long, one must mind one's own business and avoid entangling oneself in karma.

This was an external incarnation of great importance; once it fell, the plans for the Eastern Extreme Region would inevitably be delayed indefinitely.

In that case, it would greatly delay the growth speed of the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi and Ye Qingxuan's own main body.

This was not what Ye Qingxuan wanted to see.

Having put in so much effort, he naturally did not want it to end hastily.

Therefore, he could only be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
