Chapter 298: Eight Years

After returning to Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan immediately summoned Xue Yu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, and Liu Feifeng.

"You four make arrangements. Starting today, post missions in Dongxuan City to focus on crafting city components and various mundane structures."

"The city components crafted this time will be the same as before in other aspects, but forge the city walls to a specification of ten meters wide and three hundred meters high."

In truth, with the protection of the Seventh-Grade Star Array, the presence of city walls was not critical.

Especially walls crafted from such mundane materials.

However, the feeling conveyed by having walls versus not having them was different.

Especially for ordinary mortals.

In Xingluo Province, where demonic beasts roamed everywhere.

With walls, they would feel psychologically safer.

The other three also looked at Ye Qingxuan with curiosity.

"The more, the better. At minimum, craft city components corresponding to seven billion square kilometers of territory."

Ye Qingxuan thought that since it would not require a great cost anyway.

Even if the number of mid- and low-grade cultivators in Dongxuan City increased by hundreds of times, there would be no pressure.

Given the spiritual vein resources of the Waterland Realm, especially the existence of twenty-two Sixth-Grade spiritual veins and over three hundred Fifth-Grade spiritual veins.

After all, mundane materials were not valuable; for cultivators, they were everywhere.

Even Jiang Wen, Liu Feifeng, and the rather indifferent Xue Yu could not help but show shock in their eyes.

"Ah? So many?"

"City Lord, how exactly are we expanding? In which specific direction?"

Hearing Jiang Wen's inquiry, Ye Qingxuan nodded lightly and said:

Finally, Liu Feifeng could not help but ask:

At this moment, Li Mu asked:

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and spoke directly:

To match the scale of the Waterland Realm, Ye Qingxuan directly changed the city wall specifications this time to ten meters wide and three hundred meters high.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's orders and recalling his previous words, Jiang Wen exclaimed with delight:

Hearing the scale Ye Qingxuan mentioned, Li Mu was directly shocked.

"The predicament Dongxuan City currently faces will be resolved effortlessly at that time."

"That is right. Within ten years, Dongxuan City will surely expand outward."

"City Lord, is Dongxuan City preparing to expand outward?"

"City Lord, regarding this mission to craft city components and various mundane structures, how many do we need to craft?"

Fortunately, the plan was to build the Waterland Realm using mundane materials according to the scale of a city.

Looking at his four Golden Core Division Commanders under his command, Ye Qingxuan feigned mystery and smiled lightly:

"Dongxuan City will expand southward. As for the exact method of expansion, you will naturally know when the time comes."

"Very well, you may all withdraw."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan was unwilling to speak plainly, the four did not press further.

Carrying their curiosity, they left the place immediately.

Soon, numerous missions to craft city components and various mundane structures began to be posted within Dongxuan City.

This was not the first time Dongxuan City had posted such missions, so handling them was second nature.

However, the sudden posting of such missions inevitably caused cultivators in Dongxuan City to discuss it extensively.

Many began to investigate the purpose behind Dongxuan City posting this mission.

Because of the strange phenomena generated by the clash of two Low-Grade Spirit Treasures in Dongxuan City previously.

Some time ago, other factions in Xingluo Province had stationed many spies in Dongxuan City, and they had not withdrawn yet.

Upon learning this news, these spies transmitted the information back to their respective factions at an extremely fast speed.

Receiving the messages from the spies, these factions could easily guess that Dongxuan City was preparing to expand outward.

Most factions did not take Dongxuan City's outward expansion seriously.

They assumed Dongxuan City was merely preparing to expand outward again based on its existing foundation.

Only in a few factions, such as Cheng Yuan, the Sect Master of Huangji Sect, and Liu Long, the Sect Master of Feiyu Sect.

After viewing the map around Dongxuan City, they all fell into confusion.

Because, although there was still considerable territory around Dongxuan City.

There were not many spiritual lands within these territories, and their grades were not high.

Even if Dongxuan City expanded outward and enclosed these spiritual lands within its range, it would not be of much use.

For a moment, this left Cheng Yuan, Liu Long, and others somewhat puzzled.

In Xingluo City.

Bai Li, the Commander of the Xingluo City Guard, also received this news.

However, Xing Ze Jun had already begun seclusion.

Before entering seclusion, Xing Ze Jun had instructed him to only maintain the stability of Xingluo City.

As for matters outside Xingluo City, everything should wait until he emerged from seclusion.

Therefore, after receiving this news, Bai Li did not pay much attention to it.

Time passed slowly.

The forging of Dongxuan City's city components and mundane structures is proceeding in full swing.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan is using the city's great protective formation to probe the structure deep beneath Dongxuan City's foundation.

After finishing the exploration of the basic structure deep beneath Dongxuan City's foundation,

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, a look of joy appearing on his face.

He plans to construct a pulling formation in both the Water Realm and Dongxuan City.

Then, using the formations within Dongxuan City combined with his own Soul Transformation cultivation, he will relocate the entire Dongxuan City into the Water Realm.

Ye Qingxuan has already determined the relocation site.

At that time, Dongxuan City will be placed upon the lake at the very center of the Water Realm.

It will become a small floating island atop the lake.

That central lake is the largest body of water in the Water Realm.

Accommodating a small Dongxuan City there is of no consequence.

However, to relocate the entire Dongxuan City to the Water Realm,

one must first,

fuse Dongxuan City's foundation into a single unit, forge it, and separate it from the earth.

Ye Qingxuan's recent probe into the depths of Dongxuan City's foundation was preparation for this very plan.

Within the entire Dongxuan City, aside from the Wanling Mountain body extending deep underground, the other mountain ranges are fine.

As far as Ye Qingxuan knows,

there are many floating cities in the Earth Xuan Realm, all constructed by utilizing various forces to lift the spirit land upward.

As long as the structure of the spiritual veins is not damaged during this process, it is harmless.

After making the decision,

Ye Qingxuan directed the power of Dongxuan City's great protective formation deep into the earth beneath the city.

He began to separate the earth below Dongxuan City and smelt and stabilize the foundation.

From time to time, Ye Qingxuan would add some first and second-grade spirit materials, fusing them into the foundation.

For safety's sake, Ye Qingxuan plans to dig the foundation beneath Dongxuan City a bit deeper.

With Ye Qingxuan's Soul Transformation spiritual sense power,

even if there are obstacles within the earth, penetrating several thousand li beneath the surface is a trivial matter.

He only intends to smelt a depth of about ten thousand meters beneath Dongxuan City.

This depth poses no difficulty for him at all.

Thus,

while most cultivators in Dongxuan City continuously forge the city components and mundane structures,

Ye Qingxuan's true body forges the formation bases and formation discs needed for the seventh-grade Star Array within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Ye Qingxuan's external avatar smelts the foundation in Dongxuan City.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
