Chapter 533: Restless Hearts in Dongxuan City; The Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven Officially Opens

"Let's go!"

After everyone boarded the flying boat, Xue Yu slipped inside, piloting the vessel at high speed toward Dongjizhou.

Watching the direction the flying boat departed, many sentimental cultivators in Dongxuan City began to discuss:

"Sigh! What a turbulent season!"

"A branch city destroyed so suddenly? I fear many perished this time. I wonder if our application to transfer to various branch cities for development was the right choice?"

"Branch cities are indeed dangerous, but Xingluozhou has lost its potential for development. If we do not wish to fall behind others, applying to leave Xingluozhou is inevitable."

"But why have those core members remained completely unmoved, showing no intention whatsoever to leave Xingluozhou?"

"Perhaps the City Lord has his own considerations! In any case, the City Lord allowing us to transfer from Xingluozhou to various branch cities for development has at least given us the right to choose."

"That is true indeed. I am just worried that the destruction of Dongji-Dongxuan City was not an accident, but rather a deliberate attack by another faction targeting our Dongxuan City."

"If that is truly the case, the crisis facing other branch cities will probably increase greatly as well?"

"Stop scaring yourself. How vast is the Dongji Domain? Which faction could span the entire Dongji Domain to threaten all our Dongxuan City branch cities?"

"Besides, with the City Lord and several Dongxuan Envoys present, who would dare recklessly target our Dongxuan City?"

"That is true. Worrying so much is useless. Now that Envoy Xue Yu and Senior Li have set out on campaign, we shall see the final result then!"

Amidst the discussion, the many cultivators in the center of Dongxuan City's square began to slowly disperse.

As these cultivators gathered in the central square dispersed.

Not long after, news of the destruction of the Dongxuan City branch city established in Dongjizhou spread through the spies of other factions remaining in Dongxuan City, beginning to circulate throughout Xingluozhou at an extremely fast pace.

Moreover, after a day of brewing, under the guidance of some with ulterior motives, Dongxuan City began to evoke a sense of impending storm in the eyes of other cultivators in Xingluozhou.

Even this strange atmosphere had begun to affect the many cultivators under Dongxuan City, causing many to feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

On top of Wanlingshan, Ye Ye Qingxuan stood with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the world beyond Dongxuan City, and smiled slightly, saying:

"Interesting!"

He was naturally aware of the various changes outside, and could even clearly sense that a spiritual aura of the Void Piercing realm had begun to spread within Xingluozhou, which had been gradually calming in recent years.

Ye Ye Qingxuan guessed that either a powerful figure of the Void Piercing realm from the Gui Sect of Dongjizhou had arrived in Xingluozhou, preparing to seize a suitable opportunity to strike at Dongxuan City.

Or perhaps powerful figures of the Void Piercing realm from other major factions in Xingluozhou had returned to Xingluozhou ahead of schedule.

Upon learning of the destruction of Dongji-Dongxuan City, they wished to use this opportunity to stir up trouble, suppress Dongxuan City's prestige within Xingluozhou, and incidentally disturb the minds of the cultivators under Dongxuan City.

"This Lord wishes to see what tricks you intend to play."

Having discerned the current situation, a look of amusement appeared in Ye Ye Qingxuan's gaze, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to strike.

He wished to see how far these hidden clowns could go, and whether they ultimately had the courage to strike directly at Dongxuan City.

Afterwards, Ye Ye Qingxuan lowered his gaze slightly, scanning the many restless cultivators within Dongxuan City.

After shaking his head slightly, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not intervene.

Once the clowns in the shadows were dealt with by him, or after Xue Yu destroyed the Gui Sect and returned to Dongxuan City, all of this would naturally settle down.

Thinking this, Ye Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to these trivial matters, and quietly waited on top of Wanlingshan for the next move of those clowns in the shadows.

Among these restless cultivators, most were peripheral members of Dongxuan City.

As for the core members of Dongxuan City, after initially learning of some of Ye Ye Qingxuan's underlying strength, they were now completely untroubled, not believing that any faction within the Dongji Domain could threaten their Dongxuan City.

These core members currently had no mind to empathize with the worries of these peripheral members; they were now busy preparing their trump cards, getting ready to be transported to other major domains for training soon.

Two days later, the core members of Dongxuan City, in unison and in great numbers, flew toward the top of Wanlingshan.

At the very front of the crowd, Jiang Seeing Yinyin, beaming with joy, pulled her master, who wore a helpless expression, and led the way, slipping toward the top of Wanlingshan.

"Master, hurry up. We want to be the first cultivators from Dongxuan City to be transported."

This time, Jiang Seeing Yinyin and Liu Liu Feifeng were traveling primarily for exploration, so the two of them did not summon the Demon-Hunting Armies under their command.

Moreover, currently only core members of Dongxuan City could be transported to other major domains via the 'Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven'; among the Demon-Hunting Armies under their command, only about half were core members of Dongxuan City.

Jiang Seeing Yinyin and Liu Liu Feifeng had already decided to temporarily split their subordinate Demon-Hunting Armies into two parts.

The Demon-Hunting Army of Dongxuan City's core members would continue to be retained, while other Demon-Hunting Army members would be arranged to develop in a Dongxuan City branch city as a sub-branch.

Soon, the actions of Dongxuan City's core members attracted the attention of other cultivators in Dongxuan City.

Watching the endless stream of cultivators flying toward the top of Wanlingshan, those peripheral members of Dongxuan City who did not know the inner workings, puzzled, could not help but begin to discuss.

"What is going on? What are they all doing going up to Wanlingshan? Isn't that the City Lord's secluded cultivation place?"

"No, they are all core members of Dongxuan City, and several of them were my friends before."

"There must be a great secret hidden on top of Wanlingshan."

"No, I must go up and take a look too!"

Many cultivators weighed the matter for a moment, gritted their teeth, and attempted to blend in with those core members, wanting to follow them to the top of Wanlingshan to investigate.

Unfortunately, these cultivators were blocked by an invisible prohibition when they flew to the mid-slope position of Wanlingshan.

They could only watch helplessly as those core members beside them continued to fly toward the top of Wanlingshan.

At this moment, on top of Wanlingshan, a massive gate to another realm stood open and floating.

Jiang Seeing Yinyin, Liu Liu Feifeng, Jiang Wen, and others who had already entered the 'Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven' slipped directly into the gate.

Meanwhile, other core members who flew to the top of Wanlingshan, upon seeing this gate, received a detailed informational message out of thin air.

Guided by the information, they similarly excitedly and eagerly slipped into the gate.

"Wow, is this really the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven? The changes are so huge?"

Jiang Seeing Yinyin, who entered the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven first, was instantly shocked by the environment of the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven at this moment. Even Liu Liu Feifeng and Jiang Wen beside her could not help but show expressions of surprise. "Could it be that the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven can continue to grow?"

Thinking this, Liu Liu Feifeng and Jiang Wen exchanged glances, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Compared to last time, the density and purity of spiritual energy had risen sharply. The Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven, where spiritual energy suddenly manifested, could be called a holy land for the several of them.

If the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven continued to grow, Liu Liu Feifeng and Jiang Wen dared not imagine what the future Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven would look like.

Just as Liu Liu Feifeng and Jiang Wen envisioned the future Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven in their minds, cultivators from Dongxuan City began to enter the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven in this area one after another.

After entering the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven and formally observing its environment.

The cultivators from Dongxuan City instantly froze in place. These Dongxuan City cultivators, entering the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven for the first time, looked at this world in disbelief and exclaimed in shock:

"Holy crap, this is the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven? Am I dreaming?"

"My Lord City Master is awesome! If it were before, just being allowed to cultivate in the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven forever would make me willing to halve my lifespan."

"Wait, after Old Liu and the others became Fortunate Cultivators, their cultivation environment is actually this good? If I had known, I would have applied to become a Fortunate Cultivator too."

"It's not too late to apply to become a Fortunate Cultivator now."

"Now? Now that the Great Era of the Earthly Profound Realm has descended, how can a mere Fortunate Cultivator satisfy anyone?"

"Let's go, stop talking nonsense. Let's contact Old Liu first and see what this so-called Blessed Land actually looks like."

"Master, stop daydreaming, let's go quickly!"

Seeing more and more cultivators enter the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven, Jiang Seeing Yinyin, while others were still stunned by the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven, hurriedly pulled Liu Liu Feifeng beside her and flew toward the four Realm Gates standing in the distance.

She, Jiang Seeing Yinyin, had decided to fight for being the first person to teleport.

Although it held no special significance.

Upon arriving before the four Realm Gates, Jiang Seeing Yinyin took a look and then pulled Liu Liu Feifeng into the gate inscribed with the three large characters 'Southern Barbarian Domain', disappearing without a trace.

Jiang Wen, following closely behind, likewise vanished into this gate, leaving the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

The four Realm Gates were inscribed with the large characters 'Eastern Extreme Domain', 'Southern Barbarian Domain', 'Western Wasteland Domain', and 'Northern Li Domain'.

Among them, the gates inscribed with 'Southern Barbarian Domain', 'Western Wasteland Domain', and 'Northern Li Domain' could teleport one to the established Realm Gates within those three great domains, allowing travel back and forth to the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven via the gates on the other side.

The gate inscribed with 'Eastern Extreme Domain', however, could return one to Mount Wanling Mountain in Xingluo Dongxuan City.

Not long after Jiang Seeing Yinyin and others vanished into the 'Southern Barbarian Domain' gate, other cultivators from Dongxuan City began to choose their corresponding gates to teleport in sequence.

At the same time, atop the highest peaks in the core areas of the Southern Li Xuan City established by Ye Ye Qingxuan in the Southern Barbarian Domain, the Western Li Xuan City established in the Western Wasteland Domain, and the Northern Li Xuan City established in the Northern Li Domain.

Figures of cultivators from Dongxuan City began to appear one after another from an open Realm Gate.

As soon as these Dongxuan City cultivators appeared, the displacement arrays already arranged atop the peaks of the three cities teleported them to secluded courtyards left vacant in their respective cities, silently integrating them into the three cities.

However, among the three cities, only Southern Li Xuan City received the most cultivators from Dongxuan City.

Because during the first teleportation, most of these Dongxuan City cultivators chose the 'Southern Barbarian Domain'.

After all, the Southern Barbarian Domain is where the human race's border lies; as human cultivators, how many would not want to witness the splendor of the human border with their own eyes? On Mount Wanling Mountain, Ye Ye Qingxuan, concealing his presence, watched as the core members of Dongxuan City were successively teleported into the three great domains, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

This opening of the Ye Qingxuan Cave Heaven, although temporarily limited to the core members of Dongxuan City, was a major step in his layout of forces within the Earthly Profound Realm.

Only by breaking free from regional constraints could the cultivators under his command have the opportunity to encounter more opportunities, allowing them to grow faster.

Ye Ye Qingxuan did not intend to deliberately conceal the actions of these core members this time.

At his current level, there was no need to act as cautiously as before within the Eastern Extreme Domain.

After today, even if rumors spread outside that a great secret was hidden on his Mount Wanling Mountain, what could the cultivators of the Eastern Extreme Domain do to him? Ye Ye Qingxuan actually hoped that some reckless strong ones, driven by curiosity, would forcefully storm his Mount Wanling Mountain, adding a little fun to his otherwise plain life.

For this reason, Ye Ye Qingxuan had set up numerous arrays and prohibitions on Mount Wanling Mountain recently.

Ye Ye Qingxuan looked forward to some stubborn cultivators coming to Xingluo Dongxuan City to storm the mountain in the future.

After enduring thousands of hardships and finally storming to the peak of Mount Wanling Mountain, they would find only a bare mountain top and a strong one they could not match.

I wonder what they would think at that time? On the other side, on the way to Dongjizhou.

On the open-air platform atop the flying boat, Xue Yu and Li Li Dachui stood facing the wind.

Gazing at the scenery ahead, the rough face of Li Li Dachui showed a look of contemplation, his mouth slightly open as if about to speak but holding back.

Xue Yu, noticing Li Li Dachui's subtle facial movements, did not turn around but spoke directly and calmly:

"If you want to ask something, just say it directly!"

Seeing Xue Yu initiate the topic, Li Li Dachui pondered for a moment before finally voicing the doubts that had been pressing on his heart and remained unsolved for some time:

"Xingluozhou has no potential for development left. Why do City Master and you, the Dongxuan Envoys, have no intention of leaving Xingluozhou?"

"Moreover, most of the core members of Dongxuan City are to remain in Xingluozhou; why do they have no complaints?"

These doubts had been buried in Li Li Dachui's heart for a long time.

If Ye Ye Qingxuan and Xue Yu, these Dongxuan Envoys, stayed to guard the foundation of Dongxuan City in Xingluozhou, he could barely understand it.

But why did the core members of Dongxuan City, after being left behind, have no complaints, and even seemed somewhat excited and agitated? The abnormal behavior of the core members of Dongxuan City made Li Li Dachui's confusion grow even stronger.

Taking this opportunity to execute a mission with Xue Yu, Li Li Dachui finally could not hold back and voiced his doubts.

However, after hearing Li Li Dachui's question, Xue Yu did not answer directly.

Turning his head slightly to meet Li Li Dachui's eager, inquisitive gaze, Xue Yu showed a rare smile on his face and said:

"The day you become a core member of Dongxuan City, you will naturally know everything you want to know!"

Having finished speaking, Xue Yu turned and left, walking into the flying boat; leaving only the thoughtful Li Li Dachui, who murmured on the spot:

"Core member? City Master, what secret are you hiding?"
