Chapter 543

"It's time to start acting!"

Putting away the array bases that had been imprinted with seventh-order array patterns, Ye Qingxuan escaped toward the outside of Dongxuan City.

Although the number of these seventh-order array bases that had been imprinted with array patterns and thoroughly perfected was not yet enough to allow Dongxuan City's seventh-order Star Dou Array to expand and cover the entire Star Fall Continent.

But this did not hinder Ye Qingxuan from expanding the seventh-order Star Dou Array while continuing to perfect other seventh-order array bases.

As one seventh-order array base after another was buried, Ye Qingxuan activated the array patterns on these array bases to resonate with Dongxuan City's seventh-order Star Dou Array, gradually merging them into one.

The entire seventh-order Star Dou Array of Dongxuan City also began to expand continuously toward the outside of Dongxuan City.

This expansion lasted for a full hundred years.

"It's finally done!"

High above in the sky, Ye Qingxuan looked at the seventh-order Star Dou Array that had already covered the entire Star Fall Continent, could not help but nod slightly, and smiled knowingly.

During these hundred years.

This external incarnation of Ye Qingxuan had been perfecting more seventh-order array bases while integrating these perfected array bases into the seventh-order Star Dou Array, expanding the coverage of the seventh-order Star Dou Array.

It took a full hundred years for Dongxuan City's seventh-order Star Dou Array to finally cover the entire Star Fall Continent as Ye Qingxuan had wished.

It was just that the seventh-order Star Dou Array was, after all, only a seventh-order array.

Although it used a large number of seventh-order array bases to allow the array's might to cover the entire Star Fall Continent.

The power of the rules it contained was also relatively diluted, causing the power of the seventh-order Star Dou Array to decrease somewhat.

Fortunately, as a seventh-order array, even if the array's power decreased, suppressing some cultivators below the Void Penetration Realm was still easy.

Furthermore, Ye Qingxuan had expanded the seventh-order Star Dou Array to cover the entire Star Fall Continent not to protect the entire Star Fall Continent with the seventh-order Star Dou Array, but to bring the entire seventh-order Star Dou Array under the control of Dongxuan City with the help of the seventh-order Star Fall Array.

From now on, the entire Star Fall Continent would be brought under the supervision of Dongxuan City.

If Ye Qingxuan wished, through the seventh-order Star Dou Array, Ye Qingxuan could directly seal the entire Star Fall Continent, preventing cultivators outside of Dongxuan City from entering or leaving Star Fall Continent at will.

Only cultivators of Dongxuan City could travel freely through Star Fall Continent by relying on the Dongxuan Token.

It was just that Ye Qingxuan did not have such thoughts for the time being.

Bringing the entire Star Fall Continent under the supervision of Dongxuan City was enough; completely isolating the communication between Star Fall Continent and other great provinces would instead be detrimental to the development of Star Fall Continent.

However, although Ye Qingxuan allowed cultivators from the outside world to enter and leave Star Fall Continent at will, this did not mean he would not impose certain restrictions on these cultivators.

In the current seventh-order Star Dou Array, there was a wisp of his spiritual sense integrated into its operation.

Whether it was outside cultivators or cultivators within Star Fall Continent, if they slaughtered at will or if fighting led to the involvement of the ordinary human race in Star Fall Continent.

They would all be suppressed and judged by the seventh-order Star Dou Array.

Seeing that the goal of expanding the seventh-order Star Dou Array to cover the entire Star Fall Continent had been achieved.

Ye Qingxuan, who had been busy for a hundred years, immediately stretched, and then escaped toward the direction of Dongxuan City.

After returning to Dongxuan City, Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense covered the entire Dongxuan City.

During these hundred years, batches of cultivators whose cultivation bases had broken through to the mid-order had successively walked out of Star Fall Dongxuan City, and mid-order cultivators had also successively returned to Star Fall Dongxuan City to rest and reorganize.

However, the cultivators born in Dongxuan City during these hundred years were mostly stuck in the Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, and Purple Mansion Realm due to a lack of talent.

Added to the fact that Star Fall Continent was now calm and peaceful, and the cultivators of Dongxuan City could cultivate with peace of mind without fear for their lives, the number of low-order cultivators accumulated in Dongxuan City today had reached a full 200,000 or more.

However, the cultivation environment for these low-order cultivators was too comfortable and lacked fighting, so their combat power might... no, it should be absolutely far inferior to the cultivators of Dongxuan City in the past.

After all, the low-order cultivators of Dongxuan City in the past could gain a certain amount of growth whether they were following the mid- and high-order powerhouses of Dongxuan City to hunt demonic beasts, hunt the Qingmo race, or go out to compete with cultivators and rogue cultivators of other forces.

As for the low-order cultivators of Dongxuan City now, besides sitting in meditation to cultivate, learning various cultivation knowledge, and practicing the four arts of cultivation, their growth in terms of combat was truly too lacking.

Looking at the many low-order cultivators in Dongxuan City who now had weak combat power, Ye Qingxuan frowned.

"If this continues, the cultivators who walk out of Star Fall Dongxuan City in the future to go to other great regions to train, or even enter the Qingmo Realm to fight, will most likely just be going to their deaths."

This contradicted his original intention! Thinking of this, a look of contemplation appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Now that the entire Star Fall Continent had been brought under the control of Dongxuan City, as the main city of Dongxuan City, it was time for Star Fall Dongxuan City to undergo reform.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Qingxuan finally took out his Dongxuan City and began to edit an announcement involving the entire Star Fall Dongxuan City: 【Dongxuan City Reform Announcement:

Effective immediately.

Star Fall Continent has been officially brought under the jurisdiction of our Dongxuan City.

Any cultivator of our Star Fall Dongxuan City may apply to leave Dongxuan City to establish villages, small towns, and cities in various parts of Star Fall Continent! Qi Refining Realm cultivators may become village heads.

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators may become town heads.

Purple Mansion Realm cultivators may become city lords.

Cultivation base is a hard indicator; it can be downward compatible, but not upward compatible.

That is, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator may be a town head or a village head; but a Qi Refining Realm cultivator can only become a village head and cannot become a town head.

From now on, anyone who belongs to a village, town, or city and gives birth to a cultivation genius may receive corresponding rewards from Dongxuan City.

The more cultivators you cultivate, the more rewards you will receive.

Not only that, from now on, Dongxuan City will hold a Qi Refining Realm grand competition every ten years, a Foundation Establishment Realm grand competition every thirty years, and a Purple Mansion Realm grand competition every sixty years.

Each village, town, and city will have a certain number of competition spots; those who achieve excellent rankings will not only allow the contestants themselves to receive generous rewards, but the village heads, town heads, and city lords they belong to can also receive certain rewards.

Anyone who applies to establish a village, small town, or city may migrate the required ordinary residents from within Dongxuan City or from outside Dongxuan City, but they can only use benefits to lure them and cannot use any coercion.

To apply to establish a village, you need to strive for at least 100 ordinary residents to move in.

To apply to establish a town, you need to strive for at least 1,000 ordinary residents to move in.

To apply to establish a city, you need to strive for at least 10,000 ordinary residents to move in.

Besides this, starting today, the various Dongxuan Academies within the ordinary urban areas of Star Fall Dongxuan City will be merged, and from now on, only one main academy will be retained in Dongxuan City.

And Dongxuan City will establish a Dongxuan Academy branch in each prefecture of Star Fall Continent; Purple Mansion Realm cultivators of Dongxuan City may apply to become the branch deans of the Dongxuan Academies in each prefecture.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators born in the various villages, towns, and cities of Star Fall Continent may enter these Dongxuan Academy branches to learn various cultivation knowledge, with each person's term of study being at most twenty years.

Every ten years, Dongxuan City will organize a unified final examination for the students of the various Dongxuan Academy branches.

Those who perform excellently in the cultivation speed assessment, cultivation knowledge theory assessment, cultivation four arts assessment, and spell cultivation progress assessment may receive corresponding rewards and be allowed to enter the Dongxuan Academy main academy for further study.

And the deans of the Dongxuan Academy branches where the students are located will also receive various resource awards from Dongxuan City.

Not only that, from now on, Dongxuan City will set up combat platforms in various counties and prefectures; the combat platforms will be divided into sparring matches that stop at a touch and life-and-death battles without any restrictions.

Those who achieve ten consecutive victories on the combat platform, and whose opponents in the consecutive victories have a cultivation base no lower than their own, can receive corresponding rewards from Dongxuan City.

Moreover, for every ten consecutive victories added, the rewards received will double. In the entire Star Fall Continent, combat areas and non-combat areas will also be divided from now on.

From now on, whether it is a cultivator of Star Fall Continent or a cultivator from outside Star Fall Continent, they can only take action in combat areas and on the combat platforms set up by Dongxuan City.

And they must not take action against ordinary residents at will.

Anyone who violates this will inevitably be suppressed and judged by Dongxuan City.

All the above reforms will be notified to the entire Star Fall Continent by the cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City.

The existing medium and small cities in Star Fall Continent may directly join Dongxuan City; those who are unwilling to join Dongxuan City, if they transport genius cultivators to Dongxuan City, can also exchange for awards from Dongxuan City.】

After the announcement was edited, Ye Qingxuan did not send it out immediately; instead, he carefully checked it again to see if there were any other shortcomings.

This series of reforms aimed at Star Fall Dongxuan City, and even the entire Star Fall Continent, was Ye Qingxuan's desire to create a good cultivation environment filled with healthy competition for the new generation of cultivators in Star Fall Continent in the future.

Ye Qingxuan was not a pedantic person, nor was he a person who acted recklessly and ignored everything.

As the strongest person and the rule-maker of Star Fall Continent today.

For his own goals, Ye Qingxuan could coerce other forces in Star Fall Continent to forcibly make them trade away their territory in Star Fall Continent.

He could also establish a perfect order for Star Fall Continent, allowing the cultivators under his command, and even ordinary residents, to enjoy relatively fair treatment.

After bringing the entire Star Fall Continent under the control of Dongxuan City.

Only by letting the ordinary residents in Star Fall Continent live and work in peace and contentment, without suffering from the oppression of cultivators, could they reproduce more offspring.

With the increase in the base number of ordinary residents, the number of new-generation cultivators born in Dongxuan City would increase, and the probability of geniuses appearing could rise.

And the Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, and Purple Mansion Realm grand competitions in Star Fall Continent, as well as the Dongxuan Academy final examinations and the established combat platforms.

Were for the purpose of strengthening their combat capabilities while screening the specialties of the new generation of cultivators in Star Fall Continent, so that they would not have too low survival capabilities when they left Star Fall Continent to train in the future.

Only when these various reforms were all perfected could Star Fall Continent truly become the birthplace and cradle for the cultivators under Ye Qingxuan's command in the future.

After checking it once and confirming that the announcement was correct, Ye Qingxuan did not hesitate and directly released it to the entire Dongxuan City.

At the same time the reform announcement was released.

Ye Qingxuan released a large number of combat platform construction tasks, Dongxuan Academy branch construction tasks, village, small town, and city construction tasks, as well as tasks to promote the reforms released by Star Fall Dongxuan City to the entire Star Fall Continent in the task system of Dongxuan City.

Each task could earn a large amount of contribution points.

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

For a time, the Dongxuan Tokens of all the cultivators in Dongxuan City began to vibrate slightly.

"Eh! It's the reform announcement issued by the City Lord!"

"Is it? A reform announcement, then I'll take a look first before saying anything."

Once the reform announcement was issued, it immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators in Dongxuan City.

After these cultivators finished viewing the reform announcement of Star Fall Dongxuan City, and after being stunned for a moment, many low-order cultivators in Dongxuan City immediately issued various exclamations one after another:

"This? When was the entire Star Fall Continent brought under the jurisdiction of our Dongxuan City? Is our Dongxuan City this strong?"

"Go, is the City Lord's move this big? Is this reform intensity too high?"

"It looks quite interesting; Star Fall Continent is going to become lively in the future, hahaha."

"Great, the channels for obtaining contribution points and resources have increased in the future; if it weren't for the lack of contribution points, my cultivation speed wouldn't be this slow."

"Old Man Wang, how abundant is the spiritual energy concentration in our Dongxuan City? Could it be that your cultivation speed is slow because your talent is not good? Hahaha..."

"You are infuriating me! Wait until I become a village head and cultivate a peerless genius; I will definitely make you look good."

"Heh, just you? Don't lead others astray when the time comes."

"Hmph, stop disturbing my Dao heart; just you wait and see!"

In a small group in Dongxuan City:

"Hehehe! I have a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation base; according to the City Lord's reform requirements, can I apply to establish a small town and become a town head?"

"What a pity, I only have a Qi Refining Realm cultivation base; I can only apply to establish a village and become a village head."

"Cough! Cough! I do have a Purple Mansion Realm cultivation base, but I'm just a bit conflicted about whether to apply to establish a city and become a city lord, or become a dean of a Dongxuan Academy branch."

"I say, everyone, don't be naive; take a careful look at the detailed announcement content! Whether it is becoming a village head, a town head, or a city lord, you need to first strive for enough ordinary residents to move in, otherwise the application will not be approved."

"Eh? Is it difficult to migrate mere ordinary residents?"

"Is it difficult? I'll give you a roll of the eyes for you to experience for yourself; the City Lord's announcement has already said that you can only use benefits to lure them and cannot use coercion.

How much face do you have to be able to make the ordinary residents in our Dongxuan City leave Dongxuan City and settle in the villages, small towns, or cities you newly established? You tell me, is it difficult or not?"

"Tsk! That's also true, then what should we do?"

"You guys! We might find it hard to move the ordinary residents of Dongxuan City, but aren't the ordinary residents outside Dongxuan City easy pickings for us?"

"I heard that other great forces in Star Fall Continent have already left Star Fall Continent to develop; besides the ordinary residents in their bases being migrated and taken away by them, the ordinary residents in the cities and villages within the other territories of these forces have not been taken away."

"Really? You're not lying to us?"

"Nonsense, why would I lie to you? Otherwise, why do you think our Dongxuan City was able to take over the entire Star Fall Continent so smoothly?"

"These ordinary residents have no cultivators to protect them now, and they are in a panic; if it weren't for the fact that the demonic beasts born in Star Fall Continent before were all cleared out by our Dongxuan City, these ordinary residents would have already suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of demonic beasts."

"But the spiritual energy concentration in various parts of our Star Fall Continent is not low; now, after over a hundred years of development, many ordinary wild beasts have transformed into demonic beasts."

"As far as I know, some ordinary villages and small towns near the mountain ranges in Star Fall Continent have already been attacked by demonic beasts."

"Now, if we go to recruit these ordinary residents and provide them with protection, we will inevitably be able to successfully receive a large batch of ordinary residents, hehehe..."

"That's also true, but there are so many of us in Dongxuan City; I don't know if the ordinary residents currently in Star Fall Continent are enough to go around."

"You're stupid! If it weren't for the fact that we are friends, I wouldn't remind you; it's precisely because I don't know if there are enough to go around that we have to strike first..."

Hearing this, the other few people in this small group immediately had their eyes light up and said impatiently: "Go, go, go, let's leave Dongxuan City now and get enough ordinary residents first."

"Not bad, not bad; establishing a village requires 100 ordinary residents, that's just the minimum limit, but the City Lord hasn't set a maximum limit; once I seize the initiative, a village with 100,000 residents is still a village, right!"

"Exactly, exactly; the more ordinary residents there are, the more cultivators will be born in the future, and the more rewards we will receive in the future."

"No, aren't you afraid that if you take too many ordinary residents, you will be attacked by others?"

"What's there to be afraid of? With the rules set by the City Lord, who dares to act recklessly in Star Fall Continent?"

"Exactly, exactly."
