The celestial phenomenon before that was caused by the battle between the Treasure Pavilion and Dongxuan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, who doesn't know that? I heard the Treasure Pavilion coveted something in Dongxuan City, which is why they attacked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Didn't the Treasure Pavilion always claim to be a neutral force? How could they do such a thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, look at your naive face. You believe they are a neutral force? If they wipe you out without outsiders knowing, aren't they still a neutral force?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Who knows how many forces the Treasure Pavilion secretly wiped out for their own benefit before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would say otherwise? Look, they failed this time. I heard many branches of the Treasure Pavilion have been closed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the Treasure Pavilion is in a terrible state this time, suppressed by so many forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you say is nothing. Hehe, do you know there are at least two low-grade spiritual treasures in Dongxuan City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Low-grade spiritual treasures? And two of them? Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of the Treasure Pavilion attacking Dongxuan City had already caused a huge uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only three months had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the concern that the Treasure Pavilion was a neutral force, and that rashly offending them would cause them to side with their enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, as the Treasure Pavilion grew larger and larger, stealing a significant portion of profits from these forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it's true. This matter has spread everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, so what? Dongxuan City has two low-grade spiritual treasures. What does that have to do with us scattered cultivators? Do you have the ability to snatch them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, out of respect for the Treasure Pavilion's strength and to give them face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul Transformation-level forces that were already dissatisfied with the Treasure Pavilion unanimously and tacitly expelled the Treasure Pavilion branches within their territories and began to suppress the Treasure Pavilion's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Treasure Pavilion guarded by a low-grade spiritual treasure is vastly different from one without.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the Treasure Pavilion's arrogant behavior at the Dongxuan Auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that the Treasure Pavilion possessed a low-grade spiritual treasure was no secret among the forces with a long-standing heritage in Xingluo Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh? That seems right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, although these forces gained some speculation through intelligence gathered near Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They allowed the Treasure Pavilion branches to enter their spheres of influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These forces, already resentful of the Treasure Pavilion, had long since removed the Treasure Pavilion branches from their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had long secretly angered these Soul Transformation-level forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Treasure Pavilion's attack on Dongxuan City failed, the veil of their neutrality was torn away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of this was due to Dongxuan City's deliberate promotion, but it also involved some hidden individuals stirring up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, their actions were also a test to see if the Treasure Pavilion had indeed lost its hall-guarding treasure as rumored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Soul Transformation-level forces in Xingluo Zhou tacitly began to expel the Treasure Pavilion branches within their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still wanted to test the Treasure Pavilion to confirm their suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Treasure Pavilion's assets in Xingluo Zhou were directly halved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for some medium and small forces lacking Soul Transformation experts to guard them, they would not have dared to expel the Treasure Pavilion branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure Pavilion's share of assets in Xingluo Zhou would have suffered even greater losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressed by multiple forces, the Treasure Pavilion's assets were retreating step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a fit of anger and shame, the Treasure Pavilion directly exposed the fact that Dongxuan City possessed at least two low-grade spiritual treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to divert attention and reduce the pressure on themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, although the news that Dongxuan City possessed two low-grade spiritual treasures spread wildly in Xingluo Zhou as the Treasure Pavilion wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a low-grade spiritual treasure was not something these forces, guarded only by Soul Transformation experts, could covet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this news did indeed draw the attention of these forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not make them change their target or relax their suppression of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Treasure Pavilion exposing that Dongxuan City now possessed at least two low-grade spiritual treasures further confirmed the speculation of the major forces in Xingluo Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure Pavilion's low-grade spiritual treasure had indeed been suppressed by Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Ye Qingxuan used the Starlight Hall to resist the Zhen Tian Bell, which was witnessed by many cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Dao resonance unleashed by the clash of low-grade spiritual treasures was not something ordinary cultivators could perceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, no cultivator witnessed the process of the Starlight Hall finally suppressing the Zhen Tian Bell with their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the information obtained by those Soul Transformation-level forces through post-event investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had some suspicions in their hearts, they could not be certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Treasure Pavilion exposed that Dongxuan City possessed at least two low-grade spiritual treasures, it was like lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this news broke, the suppression of the Treasure Pavilion by the Soul Transformation-level forces in Xingluo Zhou did not weaken; on the contrary, it became even more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dared not provoke Dongxuan City, but they could kick a man when he is down against the Treasure Pavilion, which had incurred the wrath of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not dare to attack the Treasure Pavilion's main base directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if the Treasure Pavilion truly lost its low-grade spiritual treasure, its own strength was not to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty Supreme Pavilion Masters at the Soul Transformation realm; in terms of the number of Soul Transformation Venerables alone, they were enough to rank among the top three forces in Xingluo Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although they dared not attack the Treasure Pavilion's main base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they suppressed an asset of the Treasure Pavilion outside its main base, they could gain a share of the profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally obtained this long-awaited opportunity, they were not willing to give it up so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the people of the Treasure Pavilion did not come out in full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within their own spheres of influence, they did not fear the Treasure Pavilion's counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, at this critical moment, these factions were certain that the powerful figures of the Treasure Pavilion would not easily leave their main base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality proved exactly as they had predicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After months of suppression, the Treasure Pavilion had been contracting its operations outside its sphere of influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had not chosen to engage the major factions in direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xingluo City, within the City Lord's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Li, commander of the guard unit, entered the small courtyard where Xing Ze Jun resided and bowed respectfully, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord, all branches of the Treasure Pavilion within the city and across a million li outside have been expelled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xing Ze Jun was feeding the dragon fish in the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Bai Li's words, Xing Ze Jun nodded absentmindedly and said lightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xing Ze Jun did not stop the act of feeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Xing Ze Jun was not overly concerned with the expulsion of the Treasure Pavilion branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expelling the Treasure Pavilion branches was merely him going with the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past thousand years, although the Treasure Pavilion's development had indeed been rapid, it was still far from enough to make Xingluo City wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Treasure Pavilion, what truly made Xing Ze Jun wary was the Dongxuan City, which had appeared only a few hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the strength and foundation displayed by Dongxuan City, it already had the qualification to challenge Xingluo City's status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Xing Ze Jun seemed somewhat absentminded, Bai Li spoke up to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord, regarding the rumors causing a stir throughout Xingluo Zhou recently, should Xingluo City take any action?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xing Ze Jun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to pay attention. Strength is the foundation of everything; the time has not yet come, and now is not the moment for us to step onto the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Xing Ze Jun turned his head to look at Bai Li and instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may go now! Just maintain order in Xingluo City. From today on, do not disturb me unless absolutely necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xing Ze Jun's instruction, Bai Li replied respectfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, City Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he withdrew immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Li left, Xing Ze Jun continued to feed the dragon fish in the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xing Ze Jun fed them, a faint prototype of profound rules began to appear and disappear around the dragon fish, constantly evolving before Xing Ze Jun's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1484,"2026-06-12T14:27:00.743Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","53958bf1c7809378acd5b5e7f89e2b31bf151b767af735eb380898c42ee558b2","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-293","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-291",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
