Chapter 295: The Waterland Realm

On Mount Wanling in Dongxuan City, Xingluozhou.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness had descended once again into his physical clone.

After the Explorer Clone arrived in Dongxuan City through the World Gate carrying the Heaven-Shaking Bell.

Ye Qingxuan's physical clone secretly left Dongxuan City with the Starlight Palace, fleeing toward the south of the city.

His target was the gathering place of Tier Six demonic beasts, the Waterland Realm, located two million li south of Dongxuan City.

To expand the scale of Dongxuan City, territory was secondary.

The most critical factor was securing more spiritual veins.

The spiritual veins in other areas near Dongxuan City were too scattered.

Only the Tier Six demonic beast gathering place, the Waterland Realm, met Ye Qingxuan's requirements for expanding Dongxuan City.

On this journey, Ye Qingxuan intended to use the might of the Starlight Palace.

To suppress and kill the demonic beasts within the Waterland Realm, completely seize the area, and use it as territory for Dongxuan City's expansion.

He activated the Minor Divine Art: Deceiving Heaven to conceal his aura.

The Waterland Realm was home to over two hundred Tier Six demonic beasts.

As for demonic beasts below Tier Six, there were at least tens of millions.

After a period of flight, once they approached the Waterland Realm.

The land area featured all kinds of terrain, perfectly suitable for the daily lives of Dongxuan City's mortal residents.

For a long time to come, Dongxuan City would not need to worry about a shortage of spiritual veins.

However, the Waterland Realm contained many demonic beasts, and within it, spiritual veins of every tier were equally abundant.

Furthermore, countless wild beasts that had not yet been tamed roamed the area.

Within the vast Waterland Realm, there were twenty-two Tier Six spiritual veins, over three hundred Tier Five spiritual veins, and tens of thousands of spiritual veins below Tier Five.

Ye Qingxuan slowed his flight speed.

He carefully began to explore the terrain of the entire Waterland Realm and the distribution of the demonic beasts living within it.

Once the Waterland Realm was occupied.

Thinking of the abundant spiritual veins within the Waterland Realm, a smile inevitably appeared on Ye Qingxuan's face.

Among them, twelve demonic beasts had reached the peak of Tier Six.

It took a full three months for Ye Qingxuan to thoroughly understand the situation in the Waterland Realm.

The entire Waterland Realm covered an area of over six hundred million square kilometers.

Among them, various lakes, rivers, swamps, and other water bodies occupied eighty percent of the Waterland Realm.

It truly deserved its title as a gathering place for demonic beasts.

However, the Waterland Realm was vast, and the number of demonic beasts living within it was countless.

According to Ye Qingxuan's preliminary investigation.

In the Waterland Realm, the major water bodies were distributed very evenly, dividing the land area into tens of thousands of large and small regions.

They could now develop their own strength without restraint.

"However, the demonic beasts living in the Waterland Realm are a significant trouble."

Within the clouds above the Waterland Realm.

Ye Qingxuan crossed one arm over his chest while the other hand touched his chin, his eyes revealing deep thought.

Tier Six demonic beasts posed too great a threat; they definitely could not be left alive.

He had brought the Starlight Palace specifically to deal with the Tier Six demonic beasts in the Waterland Realm.

As for the demonic beasts below Tier Six.

After pondering for a long time, Ye Qingxuan finally decided to leave the demonic beasts below Tier Six in the Waterland Realm.

At that time, formations could be set up to restrict the movement range of these beasts.

In this way.

Cultivators under Dongxuan City's command could use these beasts for self-training.

And the residents of Dongxuan City could occasionally have a special meal.

Demonic beast meat refined by spiritual energy offered significant benefits even to cultivators.

Having made up his mind.

Ye Qingxuan decided to end the battle quickly and immediately took out the Starlight Palace and three hundred low-grade spirit crystals.

Using the low-grade spirit crystals as the energy source for the Starlight Palace, he slowly partially revived the palace.

He then flew toward a location where a Tier Six demonic beast resided within the Waterland Realm.

A magic treasure differs from a magic tool.

Only by providing sufficient energy of the same tier, without needing to absorb Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power, could the magic treasure automatically revive and fight the enemy.

Otherwise, with the spiritual power possessed by Ye Qingxuan at the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation realm.

Being able to maintain the Starlight Palace in a partially revived state for half a stick of incense would already be cause for gratitude.

With only that amount of time, he dared not venture alone into the Waterland Realm.

As time passed, one Tier Six demonic beast after another fell within Ye Qingxuan's Starlight Palace.

To avoid attracting the attention of other Tier Six demonic beasts and causing an uprising among the beasts in the Waterland Realm.

Ye Qingxuan launched stealthy ambushes, directly sealing these Tier Six beasts into the Starlight Palace before executing them.

Maintaining the partially revived Starlight Palace for a long time cost Ye Qingxuan a considerable amount of spirit crystals.

Basically, for every ten or so Tier Six demonic beasts eliminated, Ye Qingxuan needed to consume around three hundred low-grade spirit crystals.

After exterminating all the Tier Six demonic beasts in the Waterland Realm, Ye Qingxuan had already consumed over six thousand nine hundred low-grade spirit crystals, his face showing visible pain at the cost.

If it were not for the fact that he had obtained a seventh-rank spiritual vein within the Starlight Cave Realm secret domain, he would not already be able to continuously produce low-grade spirit crystals.

Ye Qingxuan was truly unwilling to eradicate the demonic beasts in the Water Realm in this manner.

Throughout the entire Starfall Province.

It was estimated that only Ye Qingxuan would be so extravagant.

He would expend over six thousand nine hundred precious low-grade spirit crystals to annihilate sixth-rank demonic beasts.

Take the Treasure Pavilion, which had just clashed with Ye Qingxuan.

Although it had operated in Starfall Province for many years and possessed numerous high-grade spirit stones, its stockpile of low-grade spirit crystals numbered only over a hundred.

This was all because spiritual veins above the sixth rank were far too scarce.

As far as Ye Qingxuan currently knew, there was not even a single seventh-rank spiritual vein openly known in the entire Starfall Province.

To obtain low-grade spirit crystals.

The factions of Starfall Province could only travel to other major provinces in the Eastern Extreme Domain that possessed seventh-rank spiritual veins.

Only after paying a huge price could they possibly exchange for a small quantity of low-grade spirit crystals.

As the primary currency for high-level cultivators and the energy source capable of activating magic treasures.

Spirit crystals had become equivalent to a strategic resource in the cultivation world.

Under normal circumstances, other factions were unwilling to exchange spirit crystals for items below the seventh rank.

Even high-grade spirit stones were no exception.

Factions with a source of spirit crystals basically did not lack high-grade spirit stones.

After exterminating all the sixth-rank demonic beasts within the Water Realm, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

With the threat of this group of sixth-rank demonic beasts gone, taking the Water Realm would be a trivial matter for him.

Next, he would arrange arrays of various ranks to suppress and restrain the remaining demonic beasts within the Water Realm.

Given the vast area of the Water Realm and the demonic beasts scattered throughout it.

Even if Ye Qingxuan personally relocated the demonic beasts, he would still need to set up thousands of arrays ranging from the peak of the first rank to the early stage of the sixth rank.

Setting up thousands of arrays required a considerable number of array discs.

The array discs carried by this outer projection of Ye Qingxuan were insufficient.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan said softly:

"It seems I must return to Dongxuan City after all."

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan fled at extreme speed toward the direction of Dongxuan City.

As a gathering place for sixth-rank demonic beasts, the Water Realm.

Even a cultivator at the Soul Transformation realm would not dare to approach the location of the Water Realm lightly.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was not worried that during his absence, any cultivator would break into the Water Realm and destroy the fruits of his victory.
