Chapter 416: Zhongzhou City

Three days later.

Ye Qingxuan finally found a hidden valley on the edge of Linzhou, not far from Tianyuan.

There, he discovered a seventh-tier Hunling stone vein.

Above the vein in the valley.

grew three Hunling trees that had already reached the seventh tier.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand.

and drew a chaotic-colored fruit from a Hunling tree.

After examining it for a moment.

Ye Qingxuan ate the fruit and carefully sensed its effects.

Using Hunling fruits to cultivate the cultivators under his command is a good choice.

It transformed into some inconspicuous vegetation within his spiritual power void realm, adding a touch of color to it.

Ultimately, this entire energy was swallowed by Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power void realm.

Although these Hunling fruits could no longer temper Ye Qingxuan's body.

When the world gate carried by Ye Qingxuan's external avatar reappeared.

"Must I waste another avatar to guard this place again?"

After a long while, Ye Qingxuan slowly spoke:

After surveying the environment within the valley, Ye Qingxuan frowned slightly.

Waiting for a moment.

It is not suitable for cultivators to practice.

Moreover, although Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power cultivation is only mid-stage Void Penetration.

the benefit to his Void Penetration body is already negligible.

a continuous flow of energy began to circulate through Ye Qingxuan's entire body.

It is worth him dispatching an avatar to guard this place.

The quality of his spiritual power and the realm of his Daoist rules have long reached the peak of Void Penetration.

Therefore, seventh-tier Hunling fruits offer no further help to Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan decided to recall an avatar from the Demon Realm and station it here to guard and mine the Hunling stones.

Because it is located on the edge of Linzhou, very close to Tianyuan.

Plus the seventh-tier Hunling stone vein beneath the earth.

he can consider this trip worthwhile.

If other cultivators were stationed here, they could only sit idly.

This energy is both violent and gentle, as if it were a contradiction.

yet it cannot cause any impact on his Void Penetration body.

Even seventh-tier Hunling fruits.

the environment in this valley is extremely harsh.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in Linzhou is already turbid and filthy.

But since he opened his spiritual power void realm directly using Daoist rules at the three-tenths realm.

even a Soul Transformation cultivator could not stay here for long.

Under the baptism of this energy, all aspects of the body would see a significant improvement.

The body of a Void Penetration cultivator has already advanced rapidly in all aspects.

After hesitating for a moment.

"So this is a Hunling fruit? Pity, it is useless to me now."

But seventh-tier Hunling stones can assist him in refining low-grade magic treasures and seventh-tier formations.

However.

the tempered Void Penetration body has naturally already reached the Void Penetration peak.

The spiritual energy in this valley is even worse than elsewhere and extremely violent.

If it were a seventh-tier Hunling fruit, this moment would not be worth wasting an avatar.

But for cultivators below the Void Penetration realm.

after breaking through to Void Penetration and having their bodies tempered by Daoist rules.

they might even face a threat to their lives.

After eating this fruit.

Once a figure was teleported to this valley.

Ye Qingxuan's external avatar immediately left the place and fled beyond Linzhou.

The goal of this journey has been accomplished.

He should now return to Dongxuan City in Xingluo Zhou.

The Central Region.

"So this is Zhongzhou City? Indeed magnificent, and the spiritual energy density is so high!"

Outside a city.

Luo Tian, standing beside Ye Qingxuan's avatar disguised as a mysterious merchant, upon seeing the city before him.

could not help but show awe in his eyes and praise it involuntarily.

Ye Qingshuang, standing nearby, sensed the density of the spiritual energy within the city.

He also couldn't help but take a look at the city before him.

After passing through one teleportation array after another.

Ye Qingxuan's clone, the Mysterious Merchant, finally brought Ye Qingshuang and Luo Tian to set foot on the territory of the Central Region.

They arrived at Zhongzhou, the largest prefecture at the very center of the Central Region.

The Central Region is the largest realm among the nine realms of the Di Xuan World.

And Zhongzhou, not only within the Central Region, but even across the entire Di Xuan World, counts as the largest prefecture.

Zhongzhou alone is comparable in size to half of the Dongji Domain.

Because the territory is vast and the land is rich with talent.

The Central Region also holds the most hegemonic powers among the five domains within the Di Xuan World.

The entire Central Region has seven hegemonic powers.

They are the Xianxuan Sect, the Lingxiao Observatory, the Qianyuan Sect, the Zantai Immortal Clan, the Blade Sect, the Xuan Sha Sect, and the Sword Sect.

Among them.

The sect headquarters of the three hegemonic powers—Xianxuan Sect, Lingxiao Observatory, and Qianyuan Sect.

Are all located within Zhongzhou.

This is because, among the seven known Tier-10 spiritual veins in the Central Region, Zhongzhou exclusively claims three.

And Zhongzhou City is located at the very center of Zhongzhou, and is also the largest city in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou City sits at the junction of the three Tier-10 spiritual veins at their ends in Zhongzhou.

Under the influence of these three Tier-10 spiritual veins, a Tier-9 spiritual vein was born beneath Zhongzhou City.

Even with formation seals.

the density of spiritual energy within Zhongzhou City far exceeds that of other areas in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou City does not belong solely to any single power.

Instead, it is jointly governed by the three hegemonic powers: Xianxuan Sect, Lingxiao Observatory, and Qianyuan Sect.

These three powers control ninety percent of the shop transactions and spiritual cave dwelling rentals in Zhongzhou City.

The remaining ten percent of the market share belongs to other powers in Zhongzhou.

Ye Qingxuan's clone, the Mysterious Merchant, came to the Central Region.

His goal was to open a shop within the Central Region and establish a foothold there.

This would allow him to obtain resources from the Central Region while also being able to gather information from within it at any time.

And the Zhongzhou City located in Zhongzhou before them was Ye Qingxuan's target.

After pausing for a moment, Ye Qingxuan spoke calmly:

"Let us go in!"

Having finished speaking, he led Ye Qingshuang and Luo Tian toward Zhongzhou City.

Once they stepped through the city gate and officially entered the territory of Zhongzhou City.

Under Ye Qingxuan's perception.

the entire Zhongzhou City was filled with cultivators; there were no ordinary mortals.

Moreover, among these cultivators.

the lowest cultivation base was the Jin Dan realm.

Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators could be found everywhere.

As for cultivators above the Soul Transformation realm, Ye Qingxuan's perception detected very few.

However, Ye Qingxuan understood in his heart.

The fact that he could not perceive many cultivators above the Soul Transformation realm.

did not mean there were few such cultivators stationed within Zhongzhou City.

Cultivators above the Soul Transformation realm.

no longer fear the impact of spiritual energy of the same realm and can enter seclusion for long-term cultivation.

Within the spiritual cave dwellings of Zhongzhou City, formations block perception.

It was quite normal that he could not sense the presence of these cultivators.

Walking all the way with Ye Qingshuang and Luo Tian.

Ye Qingxuan discovered that the cultivators within Zhongzhou City were orderly.

There were no cultivators setting up stalls in the city; all transactions took place within the various shops.

Thus, although bustling, there was no sense of noisy clamor.

As they walked along.

inside some of the shops.

Ye Qingxuan saw many rare treasures and precious items.
