Chapter 299: Relocation

These eight years.

Since Ye Qingxuan's external avatar was stationed in Dongxuan City,

his avatar explorer had temporarily returned to the Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

Continuing to maintain the development of the Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

Before leaving, the avatar explorer also went to the Waterland Realm.

Bringing all the spirit beasts, the pangolins, back to the Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

With the addition of the new mine spirit beasts, the pangolins,

Ye Qingxuan's avatar explorer could reduce control over the puppets.

Occasionally leaving the Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm no longer affected the progress of its development.

Eight years passed.

The other city components and mortal buildings could be slowly refined and perfected after Dongxuan City was relocated there.

The foundation beneath Dongxuan City had long been separated from the earth, melted and stabilized by Ye Qingxuan, becoming one with it.

Truly setting up the flawless Seventh-Rank Great Formation.

The spirit lacking in the Seventh-Rank Star Array about to be set up.

Bringing the Seventh-Rank Star Array's formation base and formation disk that had just been teleported over.

So after a full eight years, Dongxuan City still had not completed all the refining tasks.

After the city walls were finished being refined.

And the formation base and formation disk of the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

Only the refining tasks for city components and mortal buildings remained.

The formation base and formation disk refined from Seventh-Rank Star Stones, and the Starlight Hall refined from Seventh-Rank Star Stones.

Let the avatar explorer who had just been teleported over together take charge of Dongxuan City.

Drawing part of the spiritual power from the major spiritual veins and the earth power from the earth veins as the energy source for the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan was not in a hurry.

The cultivators in Dongxuan City had only completed the refining of the city walls and some mortal buildings; other parts were still unfinished.

After all, for cultivators, cultivation is the most important matter.

Only after long-term evolution could the Seventh-Rank Great Formation give birth to its own unique principles and rules of control.

Plus, the stellar principles and rules contained within the Starlight Hall happened to match the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

If it were a conventional Seventh-Rank Star Array, Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base might not be enough to set it up.

And the spirit lacking within it was the power of principles and rules.

Moreover, such stiffly implanted principles and rules could not fully harmonize with the Great Formation.

This allowed Ye Qingxuan to find another path, having the opportunity to set up a combined Seventh-Rank Star Array in advance.

It requires the array setter to use the embryonic principles and rules contained within Seventh-Rank materials as a foundation.

With Dongxuan City's current population, such large-scale mortal buildings were truly unnecessary.

Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness controlled his external avatar again, fleeing toward the Waterland Realm.

Plus, the scale of the city components and mortal buildings requested by Ye Qingxuan this time was too large.

For the refining tasks of city components and mortal buildings, the cultivators of Dongxuan City completed them in their spare time.

After arriving at the Waterland Realm, Ye Qingxuan spent a year.

The Seventh-Rank formation base and formation disk refined by Ye Qingxuan now were simply engraved with Seventh-Rank formation patterns.

A conventional Seventh-Rank Star Array requires the Great Formation to evolve its own stellar principle rules on its own.

Then burying ten thousand and eighty low-grade spirit crystals as the energy trigger and backup energy reserve to activate the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

Ye Qingxuan intended to replace them with the stellar principles and rules contained within the Starlight Hall.

Under the day-and-night refining of Ye Qingxuan's main body, they had also been completed.

Then connecting spiritual power channels above the major spiritual veins of the Waterland Realm, and using formations to guide the earth power within the earth veins.

Evolving stellar principle rules is not simply a matter of implanting one's own stellar principles and rules into the Great Formation.

Using the Starlight Hall as the formation eye, setting up all the formation bases and formation disks of the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

Having the form, but lacking the spirit.

Ye Qingxuan immediately began setting up the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

After arriving at the Waterland Realm.

Using Seventh-Rank formation patterns as the framework, one's own principles and rules as the blueprint, supplemented by vast spiritual power to nourish them.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan did not urge the refining tasks for city components and mortal buildings.

Such implanted principles and rules are merely water without a source and cannot last.

With everything prepared, Ye Qingxuan decisively began activating this combined Seventh-Rank Star Array.

"Hum!""Hum!""Hum!"

Accompanied by energy resonance, one after another, the Seventh-Rank formation bases and formation disks were activated.

Energy carrying starlight continuously connected between these formation bases and formation disks, flowing back and forth.

Finally, all this energy carrying starlight converged onto the Starlight Hall.

In an instant, the Starlight Hall shone brilliantly.

A force of stellar principles and rules surged out from the Starlight Hall, instantly flowing into the Seventh-Rank Star Array.

With the integration of this force of stellar principles and rules, the Seventh-Rank Star Array was completely activated.

A radiant energy curtain of starlight appeared, directly covering the entire Waterland Realm, and rapidly spreading outward.

Finally, the range of light condensed by the Seventh-Rank Star Array reached nearly seven hundred million square kilometers.

Within this energy light curtain lay the power of the Star Dao rules of the Third Realm, accounting for thirty percent.

Not only was its defense astonishing, but it could also reflect enemy attacks.

At critical moments, by expending energy to activate the Star Dao rules, it could even launch active attacks against enemies.

Watching the successfully activated Seventh-Rank Star Array, Ye Qingxuan's face showed joy.

The Seventh-Rank Star Array could both attack and defend.

With this great array, even within the entire Dongji Domain, his Dongxuan City was sufficient to fear no one and establish its own rules.

With a thought, he suppressed the might of the Seventh-Rank Array, causing the brilliant starlight curtain to vanish into hiding.

Ye Qingxuan then set up another Traction Array and fled toward Dongxuan City at extreme speed.

After returning to Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan first sent his Explorer Clone back to the Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

With the relocation of Dongxuan City imminent, there was no longer a need for the Explorer Clone to guard the city.

Subsequently, based on the existing City-Protecting Great Array of Dongxuan City,

Ye Qingxuan integrated a Traction Array, an Anti-Gravity Array, and a Wind-Riding Array.

With all preparations complete,

Ye Qingxuan stood atop the peak of Wanling Mountain and proclaimed loudly:

"This City Lord announces that Dongxuan City is about to undergo a long-distance relocation."

"Residents and cultivators within the city need not panic; members of the Guard Corps are responsible for maintaining order in Dongxuan City."

"During the relocation of Dongxuan City, the Great Array will be activated, and no one will be able to leave."

"Half a shichen from now, the relocation of Dongxuan City will officially begin. Cultivators wishing to leave Dongxuan City must depart within half an hour."

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan specifically transmitted his voice to Xue Yu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, and Liu Feifeng.

He instructed the four of them to lead the members of the Dongxuan City Guard Corps and maintain order during the city's relocation.

Ye Qingxuan's voice, amplified by spiritual power, instantly spread throughout the entire Dongxuan City.

Upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Dongxuan City erupted into chaos.

"Damn, the City Lord is truly fierce; he's preparing to move us all to a new nest!"

"I guessed Dongxuan City would expand outward, but I didn't expect it to simply move its entire location?"

"Awesome! I just wonder where the City Lord plans to relocate us?"

"Rest assured, the destination will surely be better than the current one; otherwise, the City Lord wouldn't go to such great lengths to pull it."

"Is that so? Then I'm quite looking forward to it."

"But, but could there be any danger?"

"Right, should we just leave Dongxuan City first?"

Clearly, everyone in the city was shocked by what Ye Qingxuan had said.

For a moment, all sorts of reactions filled Dongxuan City; some were worried, while others were expectant.

Cultivators still had the option to choose.

However, the mortal residents living within Dongxuan City had no choice.

Once they left Dongxuan City, the safety of these mortal residents could not be guaranteed at all.

Fortunately, these mortals had already bred and multiplied in Dongxuan City for over a dozen generations and still held great trust in the city.

Although fearful in their hearts, these mortal residents did not foolishly cause trouble.

In fact, based on the city component and mortal building crafting missions previously released by Dongxuan City,

the cultivators within Dongxuan City had already guessed that the city was about to expand.

They simply did not expect the City Lord of Dongxuan City to play such a grand game.

He actually planned to relocate the entire Dongxuan City directly, intending to change location before expanding.

Facing the pull of Dongxuan City, most cultivators did not choose to leave.

They had stayed in Dongxuan City for quite some time and were somewhat familiar with it.

Therefore, they still trusted Dongxuan City to a considerable degree.

However, a small number of cautious rogue cultivators and spies from other factions, upon learning that Dongxuan City would be sealed during the relocation,

immediately left Dongxuan City.

These rogue cultivators who left intended to follow Dongxuan City from the outside.

They would wait until the destination of the relocation was confirmed before making a decision.

As for the spies, after leaving Dongxuan City, they immediately relayed the news of the impending relocation to their respective factions.
