Chapter 430

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question.

Nan Minghe pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to reply:

"Reporting to the City Lord, the cultivators currently stationed in Nanxuan City number around one hundred thousand, with approximately thirty thousand transient cultivators."

"As for cultivators causing trouble, aside from the initial few who were executed by the Guard for causing disturbances within the city,

cultivators entering Nanxuan City now are all very obedient, daring not to violate the city's regulations again."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan instinctively narrowed his eyes slightly.

The northward migration of the human race in the Southern Barbarian Domain affected mortals the least.

Instead, it was the cultivators in the south who were most impacted.

The Southern Barbarian Domain is vast; whether mortals migrate north to build new cities or disperse to other existing ones,

they can be easily accommodated.

Only the cultivators migrating north face difficulties.

After entering the northern lands of the Southern Barbarian Domain, the high command of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance did not take responsibility for settling them.

Cultivators are unlike mortals.

Mortals can simply choose a plot of land to build a city or expand an existing one

and settle down.

But cultivators cannot; cultivation is inseparable from spiritual veins.

Without spiritual veins, relying solely on the spiritual energy permeating the Di Xuan Realm, a cultivator's progress would be incredibly slow.

Therefore, cultivators migrating north must find locations with spiritual veins to settle.

However, each spiritual vein can only support a limited number of cultivators.

The cities built previously in the northern lands of the Southern Barbarian Domain relying on spiritual veins are insufficient to accommodate all the migrating cultivators.

Recently, many migrating cultivators have been searching for suitable spiritual veins to build cities.

Or they directly attack the settlements of demonic beasts to seize the spiritual veins occupied by them and build cities.

However,

now that all cultivators in the Southern Barbarian Domain have gathered in the north, it is equivalent to indirectly halving the spiritual veins of the entire domain.

Under these circumstances, even if all the demonic beasts in the Southern Barbarian Domain were exterminated,

the spiritual veins in the northern lands would inevitably be insufficient to meet the demand.

To fight for spiritual vein resources, the migrating cultivators would inevitably engage in conflict.

They might even clash with the cities originally established in the northern lands of the Southern Barbarian Domain.

In the beginning,

several groups of cultivators entered Nanxuan City and fought fiercely over the spiritual vein caves within the city.

Later, under the bloody suppression by the Nanxuan City Guard utilizing the power of the City Protection Formation,

Nanxuan City finally returned to its previous tranquility, and the cultivators entering the city have since become much more obedient.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan spoke:

"From today on, the number of cultivators stationed in Nanxuan City shall be maintained at around one hundred thousand. Close all other channels for external cultivators to reside permanently in Nanxuan City."

"Yes, City Lord."

Although he did not know what Ye Qingxuan intended by this move, Nan Minghe did not ask further questions.

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and spoke again:

"Very well, you may leave now."

"Yes!"

Having finished speaking, Nan Minghe left the top floor of the pavilion and flew downward.

After Nan Minghe departed,

Ye Qingxuan gazed at the world outside and fell into deep thought.

Nanman Zhou is the most prosperous great province within the Southern Barbarian Domain.

Its spiritual vein resources are far beyond comparison with other provinces in the Southern Barbarian Domain.

Previously, in Nanman Zhou, the number of human Soul Transformation cultivators and sixth-rank demonic beasts was not small.

Within Nanman Zhou, there were even several seventh-rank spiritual veins.

However, these seventh-rank spiritual veins were all occupied by Void Refinement cultivators stationed in the Southern Barbarian Domain.

These Void Refinement experts stationed in the Southern Barbarian Domain came from the three hegemonic powers of the Southern Region: the Jade Xuan Sect, the Tian Sect, and the Dao Xuan Sect.

According to the previous agreements among these hegemonic powers,

unless a seventh-rank demonic beast was born, they would not intervene in the human affairs of the four outer realms of the Di Xuan Realm.

Therefore, previously, there were several gathering places of sixth-rank demonic beasts within Nanman Zhou.

Later, Ye Qingxuan's avatar, Nan Xuan, arrived in Nanman Zhou.

Not wanting to offend the hegemonic powers of the Southern Region, he did not target those seventh-rank spiritual veins in Nanman Zhou.

In the end, he could only settle for the next best option.

Among the several gathering places of sixth-rank demonic beasts, he chose the one with the most spiritual veins.

He directly killed the sixth-rank demonic beasts within and domesticated the demonic beasts below the sixth rank.

Occupying the original site of the sixth-rank demonic beasts, he built the current Nanxuan City.

As for the remaining gathering places of sixth-rank demonic beasts?

Over these few months, they have been jointly conquered by the migrating cultivators, who built new cities there.

The gathering place of sixth-rank demonic beasts that Ye Qingxuan conquered.

Although not as large as the Waterland Kingdom seized earlier in the Dongji Domain.

Yet, situated at the heart of the Southern Barbarian Domain's great prefecture, the number of spiritual veins in this gathering place of sixth-rank demonic beasts is no less than that of the Waterland Kingdom.

Currently, throughout the entire Nanxuan City.

There are twenty-four sixth-rank spiritual veins, over three hundred and sixty fifth-rank spiritual veins, and fully more than sixty thousand spiritual veins below the fifth rank.

Although the number of cultivators settled in Nanxuan City has now reached one hundred thousand.

Among these one hundred thousand cultivators, almost all are below the Soul Transformation realm.

There are merely thirteen cultivators at the Soul Transformation level.

Given the grade and quantity of spiritual veins in Nanxuan City, even if the number of supported cultivators were to double, it would still be more than sufficient.

However.

For the future of Nanxuan City, Ye Qingxuan does not intend to continue accepting incoming cultivators for settlement.

Taking advantage of this northward migration of cultivators.

Nanxuan City has already recruited nearly five thousand incoming resident cultivators to join the Nanxuan Guard.

The initial establishment of the Nanxuan Guard has been completed.

However, these cultivators who have only recently joined the Nanxuan Guard are currently merely outer members of Nanxuan City.

Next, Ye Qingxuan plans to reserve sufficient spiritual vein resources within Nanxuan City.

To prepare for cultivating his own cultivators for Nanxuan City's future.

During this northward migration, Nanxuan City received over two billion mortal residents.

With this batch of mortal residents as a foundation, Nanxuan City will inevitably give birth to new cultivators continuously in the future.

He needs to prepare for a rainy day and make preparations for Nanxuan City's future development.

"Perhaps..."

Thinking of the current situation.

Ye Qingxuan felt an impulse to deploy the newly forged seventh-rank Star Array in Nanxuan City.

However, after weighing the matter for a long time, Ye Qingxuan shook his head slightly and abandoned the idea.

"Better not."

The city-protecting array of Nanxuan City is currently a sixth-rank supreme-grade array.

Furthermore, with his Void-Seeing level clone stationed here.

Suppressing the city and preventing the migrating cultivators from disrupting the order of Nanxuan City is more than sufficient.

As for the Green Demon Clan that is about to descend?

Ye Qingxuan looked at the border fortress under construction.

With the border fortress blocking the Green Demon Clan, they cannot pose a threat to his Nanxuan City.

If this magnificent border fortress cannot hold back the Green Demon Clan.

Then even if he deployed a seventh-rank array in Nanxuan City, it would be of no avail.

Rather than wasting a seventh-rank Star Array formation diagram.

It is better to keep that formation diagram for unforeseen emergencies.

He had considered leaving that seventh-rank Star Array formation diagram to the Ye Family.

But the Ye Family is located in the Eastern Domain.

In the short term, under normal circumstances, they should not be affected by the descent of the Green Demon Clan.

Therefore, after weighing the matter previously, Ye Qingxuan temporarily abandoned this plan.
