Chapter 460

In Dongxuan City.

With the continuous increase in cultivators, it had become increasingly lively, with all kinds of clamor.

"Have you heard? The spirit vein cave dwellings in Dongxuan City have gone up in price again."

"Heh, you're still thinking about spirit vein cave dwellings? Now we can't even afford the courtyards in the mortal district of Dongxuan City."

"Who's to say? I, a dignified cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment Realm, can only rent a mortal courtyard to get a foothold in Dongxuan City now."

"Sigh, things change too fast. If we had known when we came to Dongxuan City more than ten years ago, we should have taken action early to buy a courtyard in the mortal district."

"Look at those original residents of Dongxuan City; anyone who has property in Dongxuan City has made a fortune!"

"Not to mention those cultivators in Dongxuan City, just the individual mortals who own a few courtyards make people jealous of the spirit stones they get from collecting rent now."

"Heh, this is fate. Who told others' ancestors to have lived in Dongxuan City for hundreds of years?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for this being Dongxuan City, I would have long ago..."

"If it weren't for this being Dongxuan City, would you be willing to spend so many spirit stones to rent a mortal courtyard?"

"..."

"Alright, alright, didn't you see that those powerhouses at the Nascent Soul Realm are all behaving honestly in Dongxuan City? What's the use of you saying these things?"

"Don't be anxious; there are more and more people joining Dongxuan City now. If this continues, Dongxuan City will become very crowded."

"I heard that Dongxuan City is already preparing to expand outward, and spatial arrays will be set up in the original city districts to expand the size inside the city. By then, the price of mortal courtyards should drop quite a bit."

"Do you think the buildings Dongxuan City uses to settle the incoming mortal population will be sold or rented out to the public?"

Such discussions arose everywhere in Dongxuan City.

All of this was because the growth rate of both cultivators and mortals in Dongxuan City was too fast.

Dongxuan City, which was sparsely populated after occupying the Water Marsh Kingdom, had now become crowded with people.

The price of spirit vein cave dwellings within the city had also risen again and again.

Even the courtyards in the mortal district of Dongxuan City were hard to come by now.

And the reason for this scene was the Demon Tide that had already been stirred up in the Star Fall Continent.

In just a few short years.

Countless humans had fallen into the hands of the Green Demon Clan in the Star Fall Continent.

With everyone feeling insecure, the cultivators in the Star Fall Continent naturally wanted to attach themselves to the command of powerhouses to seek protection.

After all, although no Green Demon Clan members at the Void Penetration Realm had appeared in the Star Fall Continent so far.

But there were already some traces of Green Demon Clan members at the Deity Transformation Realm.

In the Star Fall Continent, a city with a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Realm sitting in command was suspected to have fallen into the hands of a Green Demon Clan member at the Deity Transformation Realm.

Since the continuous invasion of the Green Demon Clan, especially after cities with Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses were destroyed by the Green Demon Clan.

Any sect or city around Dongxuan City that did not have a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse sitting in command.

In order to seek protection.

Had already spontaneously merged into Dongxuan City.

In a short period of time, a large number of cultivators and mortals had moved into Dongxuan City one after another.

Making the originally very empty Dongxuan City become as crowded as it was now.

It was not that human cultivators feared the Green Demon Clan, but that the Green Demon Clan had absolutely no morality or rules to speak of.

Sneak attacks, targeting low-level cultivators and even mortals, slaughtering cities, and destroying spirit veins at every turn.

If it were a head-on battle with cultivators of the same realm as the Green Demon Clan.

All human forces would not be afraid.

But facing the sneak attacks that could happen at any time from high-level Green Demon Clan cultivators, they were also powerless.

With their minds tense, many low-level human cultivators didn't even dare to enter a deep state of cultivation.

If medium and small forces were like this, what about the loose cultivators scattered everywhere?

Before the invasion of the Di Xuan Realm.

In the Star Fall Continent and even the entire Eastern Extreme Domain, although human cultivators would attack each other.

But at least there was a stable order.

High-level cultivators disdained to attack low-level cultivators, and conflicts between cultivators would not affect mortals.

But after the Green Demon Clan invaded the Di Xuan Realm, all of this changed.

The Green Demon Clan itself was a destroyer of order, forcing the humans in the Star Fall Continent to change the original pattern.

Under these circumstances, merging into Dongxuan City or other forces with Deity Transformation Realm powerhouses sitting in command to seek their protection became the general trend.

Only in this way could human cultivators cultivate with peace of mind.

After settling their relatives and ensuring their safety, with no worries behind them.

Human cultivators could actively take the initiative to hunt the invading Green Demon Clan, or even directly enter the Green Demon Realm to treat them as they treated others.

This was also the reason why many cities chose to retain autonomy and form their own Demon-Hunting Armies after merging into Dongxuan City.

Losing the burden of the city, these City Lords led the cultivators under their command and instead became more flexible.

It was precisely because they saw the benefits in this.

So in just a few years, four or five cities with Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses sitting in command had voluntarily applied to merge into Dongxuan City.

Although these cities all requested to retain autonomy after merging into Dongxuan City.

Under the leadership of various City Lords, they formed one Demon-Hunting Army after another.

But the increase in Dongxuan City's population and the increase in settled cultivators could also bring quite a bit of profit to Dongxuan City.

In these few years, just selling and renting out courtyards in the mortal district.

Had allowed Dongxuan City to make a fortune.

A few days ago, Ye Qingxuan had already approved the application for Dongxuan City's outward expansion.

Once Dongxuan City successfully expanded outward, the number of people the entire Dongxuan City could accommodate would increase significantly.

It was just that the expanded city district could not be protected by the seventh-order Star Dou Great Array and could only set up a sixth-order supreme defensive array.

But even so, for cultivators from the outside world.

The newly built city district of Dongxuan City was still much safer than other areas of the Star Fall Continent.

And with Ye Qingxuan, the City Lord of Dongxuan City at the Void Penetration Realm, sitting in command.

The safety level of the newly built city district was only a little lower than that of the original city district of Dongxuan City.

The current Dongxuan City.

Was primarily based on the forces of Dongxuan City.

Below that were seven or eight loose cultivators at the Deity Transformation Realm who had settled in Dongxuan City.

Then there were the Demon-Hunting Armies formed by the various City Lords who merged into Dongxuan City, as well as other loose cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Further down were the small, low-to-medium-level cultivation families that were not few in number.

And the numerous low-level loose cultivators seeking protection in Dongxuan City.

Finally, there were the mortal residents who made up the largest base.

Many of these were cultivators who had autonomy and did not need to listen to the commands of Dongxuan City.

But they were also important components that made up Dongxuan City.

For Ye Qingxuan, as long as they lived in Dongxuan City and relied on Dongxuan City for their livelihood.

Even if these cultivators had sufficient autonomy.

He could still mobilize these cultivators to work for him by posting tasks.

After all, given the current situation.

Most cultivators would not have enough income sources to maintain their consumption in Dongxuan City if they didn't work hard to complete Dongxuan City's tasks.

You must know that many cultivators were renting houses in Dongxuan City and did not have their own permanent foothold.

(End of chapter)

Therefore, it was safest for him to personally execute the task of relocating mortal residents.
