Chapter 555: Recruitment by the Demon-Hunting Army, Exchanging for Cultivation Resources

"However, is the talent of this batch of new-generation cultivators in Xingluo Continent a bit too high?"

Carefully examining the spiritual root talent of the hundred contestants recorded in the information in his hand, Ye Ye Qingxuan felt some doubt in his heart.

In this Xingluo Continent new-generation Qi Refining Realm grand competition, the lowest talent among the new-generation cultivators of Xingluo Continent who made it into the finals was a five-element spiritual root talent, and there were only two of them.

The best talents were Jun Jun Moyan, Li Taibai, and Xiao Xiao Yuexian, all of whom had eight-element spiritual root talent.

Besides them, there were five others—Li Gexiao, Shi Huang, Ling Yuexiling, Leng Ren, and Nangong Ji—who had seven-element spiritual root talent.

The rest, including Ying Wuqiu, Yan Yan Ruyan, Bing Bing Ruyi, Yuan Yuan Qingcheng, and Wang Teng, all had six-element spiritual root talent.

One must know that when Ye Ye Qingxuan first arrived in Xingluo Continent, besides the occasional birth of one or two geniuses with six- or seven-element spiritual roots, most geniuses basically only had five-element spiritual root talent.

Before this, even in a single major province within the five inner regions of the Di Li Xuan Realm, it was absolutely impossible to give birth to so many geniuses in batches.

Perhaps, it was not just Xingluo Continent that had given birth to so many geniuses; other major provinces in the Di Li Xuan Realm were probably the same, right? Thinking of this, Ye Ye Qingxuan raised his head slightly to look at the horizon and muttered to himself, "Are you actively interfering?"

It was hard for Ye Ye Qingxuan not to suspect that the batch birth of geniuses in the Di Li Xuan Realm was the result of the active interference of the Di Li Xuan Realm's heavenly rules.

Over the years, the heavenly rules of the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm had been constantly entangling and contending, attempting to swallow each other in one fell swoop.

Although this process involved most of the power of the heavenly rules of the two worlds,

Ye Ye Qingxuan could vaguely sense it.

During the process of the two realms' heavenly rules clashing, the heavenly rules of the Di Li Xuan Realm are also constantly analyzing the profound meanings, rules, and Great Dao laws of the Green Demon Realm, gradually growing stronger.

As for the situation of the heavenly rules in the Qingmo Realm?

Although Ye Ye Qingxuan could not perceive the state of the Qingmo Realm's heavenly rules at this moment, he imagined it was not much different from the Di Li Xuan Realm's heavenly rules.

In the contention between the two worlds, whichever world's heavenly rules first accumulated enough foundation to transform into the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao and drive the promotion of the entire world, perhaps that world would be the one to achieve true victory.

And in this process, if they wanted to gain the upper hand, the living cultivators in the two worlds would also play an indispensable role.

"Is this the reason for the batch appearance of geniuses in the Di Li Xuan Realm recently?"

Ye Ye Qingxuan gazed at the 'Heaven' above, his eyes flickering.

With his current realm, he could not discern all the changes in the Di Li Xuan Realm, so he could not confirm his conjecture.

But based on his faint perception of the Di Li Xuan Realm's heavenly rules, combined with some secret information about world promotion in the Earth Immortal inheritance, Ye Ye Qingxuan felt his guess should be eight or nine out of ten.

"Forget it, I won't think about these things. I am just a small Void Meditation Realm cultivator right now."

"The overall situation of the Di Li Xuan Realm should be left to Master and the others to worry about!"

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about these things he could not interfere with for the time being.

He, a small Void Meditation Realm cultivator, could perceive the changes in the Di Li Xuan Realm's heavenly rules, let alone his master, Cen Zhe, and other Mahayana Realm powerhouses? The Di Li Xuan Realm could develop to this day and grow smoothly to the peak position of a Small Thousand World, which was inseparable from the foresight of those Mahayana Realm cultivators and hegemony-level forces in the Di Li Xuan Realm.

Without the rules and order jointly set by the many Mahayana Realm cultivators and hegemony-level forces throughout the history of the Di Li Xuan Realm, the Di Li Xuan Realm could not have grown smoothly to the level of the peak of a Small Thousand World.

Therefore, in the contention between the two worlds, he, Ye Ye Qingxuan, would contribute his due share for the Di Li Xuan Realm and for himself.

But he would not underestimate the Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Li Xuan Realm just because he was a transmigrator who had obtained the Earth Immortal inheritance and opened up a mutually reinforcing, growable Blessed Land, thinking that he was the key to saving the Di Li Xuan Realm.

Compared to a Di Li Xuan Realm at the peak of a Small Thousand World, the body of a mere cultivator was truly too small, even for a Mahayana Realm cultivator.

To let the Di Li Xuan Realm gain the upper hand in the contention between the two worlds and be the first to promote toward a Great Thousand World, it was necessary to rely on the power of all the cultivators in the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

Gathering sand into a tower, gathering the power of all the cultivators in the Di Li Xuan Realm, could truly influence the overall situation in the contention between the two worlds.

Now that the cultivators of the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm were invading and slaughtering each other, it looked fierce; but in reality, for the two worlds at the peak of the Small Thousand level, it was nothing more than a small scuffle.

Ye Ye Qingxuan believed that once the true masters of the Di Li Xuan Realm returned, there would inevitably be actions taken.

And as for the Qingmo Realm, perhaps it was the same.

It was just that he did not know to what extent the situation in the two worlds would develop. After pondering for a moment, thinking of the current situation in Xingluo Continent, Ye Ye Qingxuan decided to plant a dark chess piece before the many Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm returned from the void.

Having made a decision in his heart, Ye Ye Qingxuan acted instantly.

In the Li Xuan Tian Sect, within the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Ye Ye Qingxuan's main body, who was originally refining a verdant flying boat, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a thought, a small mountain formed by lower-grade spirit crystals piled up in a valley not far away suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ye Qingxuan.

Then, under Ye Ye Qingxuan's manipulation, the small mountain formed by lower-grade spirit crystals split into four and was put into four storage rings by Ye Ye Qingxuan.

At the same time, among the many clones Ye Ye Qingxuan had hunting in the Qingmo Realm, four clones stopped their hunting behavior and began to return to the Di Li Xuan Realm.

The clones and Ye Ye Qingxuan's main body shared the same mind.

Without needing Ye Ye Qingxuan to say much, after the four clones returned to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, they each picked up a storage ring floating in the air and then dispersed to prepare for closed-door cultivation to improve their cultivation base.

A month later, four intense energy fluctuations were born in the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

After the cultivation base of the four clones was raised to the Pseudo-Void Meditation Realm, they left the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land again through the boundary gate of the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Watching the backs of the four clones as they left, Ye Ye Qingxuan's eyes were deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was not qualified to interfere with the overall situation of the two worlds for the time being, but this did not mean he could not plan ahead and be prepared for a rainy day for his own development.

And this dark chess piece was actually the wormhole channels opened by the Di Li Xuan Realm to connect to the Qingmo Realm.

Now, the Xingluo Continent he controlled had lost its wormhole channel.

However, his Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land could condense boundary gates, allowing the cultivators under his command to travel across regions and get rid of the development constraints of Xingluo Continent having no wormhole channels.

But if one day, the tacit understanding between the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm was broken, and they began to destroy the wormhole channels connecting the two worlds on a large scale.

To reduce the probability of the wormhole channels being discovered and destroyed by the Qingmo Realm, they could only reduce the number of cultivators transmitted through the wormhole channels and lower the influence of the wormhole channels on the Qingmo Realm side.

At that time, coupled with the large-scale reduction in the number of wormhole channels,

the transmission of wormhole channels would likely be restricted, and the quota for going to the Qingmo Realm to hunt would inevitably be in short supply.

At that time, the growth speed of the cultivators under Ye Ye Qingxuan's command would likely drop significantly.

According to the life-and-death situation between the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm, the large-scale destruction of wormhole channels by both sides was a highly likely event.

After all, this kind of unrestricted invasion by both sides would only cause large-scale casualties among the mid- and low-order cultivators of both sides, and even the mortal clansmen.

Since the Dongxuan City branch cities under Ye Ye Qingxuan's command spread across all provinces of the Eastern Pole Region, Ye Ye Qingxuan had a deep understanding of the situation.

He was not clear about the detailed situation in other major regions of the Di Li Xuan Realm.

But in the entire Eastern Pole Region, since the appearance of wormhole channels, the number of mid- and high-order cultivators of the human race in the Eastern Pole Region had increased, but the number of low-order cultivators of the human race had dropped by a full thirty percent or so.

And this was still based on the rough statistics in the situation where the number of human cultivators born in recent years was increasing day by day.

Among them, the overall number of mortal residents in the Eastern Pole Region had decreased by fifty percent or so.

After all, in the early stages, not all major provinces in the Eastern Pole Region were like Xingluo Continent, which had powerhouses like Ye Ye Qingxuan sitting in town.

However, he has only just joined Dongxuan City and is not yet familiar with its various demon-hunting armies, so he is in no rush to join one for the time being.

I am afraid that the overall number of mortal residents in the Eastern Pole Region would have shrunk by more than seventy percent.

However, after Shi Huang refused, the old man before him did not give up: "Little friend, consider it again. Once you join our Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army, you will receive resource support worth at least 100,000 contribution points. 100,000 contribution points' worth of resources can significantly accelerate your growth in the early stages."

Shi Huang is the most talented individual among the grassroots, background-less newcomers of this generation in Star Fall Continent.

Therefore, Shi Huang is extremely attractive not only to the Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army but to all other demon-hunting armies as well.

If possible, the old man naturally hopes Shi Huang will join their Bai Mang Demon-Hunting Army.

It is just a pity that if this were before, Shi Huang might have been tempted by 100,000 contribution points' worth of resources.

But having just finished the grand competition and obtained a large amount of contribution points, Shi Huang has no intention of joining a demon-hunting army right now.

"This junior does not have the intention to join a demon-hunting army for the time being. I ask for your understanding, senior!"

After politely declining, Shi Huang did not give the other party a chance to speak further and left the place with an apologetic look on his face.

On the way to the Exchange Hall, Shi Huang encountered recruitment attempts from other demon-hunting armies one after another, but without exception, he rejected them all.

Above Mount Mount Wanling.

Ye Ye Qingxuan has been watching the various demon-hunting armies recruit the new generation of prodigies in Dongxuan City.

Over these years, with the development of the various demon-hunting armies, the seeds of factions have gradually formed within Dongxuan City, and they have begun to compete either openly or covertly.

However, Ye Ye Qingxuan has not stepped forward to stop any of this.

As long as they abide by the rules he has established, it is of no great consequence even if the various demon-hunting armies form their own factions.

Moreover, healthy competition is also beneficial to the development of Dongxuan City.

Therefore, although Ye Ye Qingxuan has discovered the formation of these various factions, he has not interfered with the development of any of it.

On the other side.

Shi Huang arrives at the Exchange Hall and enters a small room.

After taking out his Dongxuan Token and activating the exchange list corresponding to his permissions, Shi Huang looks at the dense array of cultivation resources on the list, and a rare look of excitement appears on his face.

Various elixirs to assist cultivation, heavenly treasures, as well as magic treasures, talismans, array disks, spells, and even various spiritual herbs and materials—nearly 100,000 types of cultivation resources, categorized by type, appear one by one before Shi Huang's eyes.

This is only the cultivation resources available under the fourth-order exchange permissions for those below the Nascent Soul Realm.

If the exchange resources above the fourth order were added, Shi Huang could not even imagine how many types of cultivation resources could be exchanged within Dongxuan City.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shi Huang begins to carefully browse the cultivation resources he needs.

After a long while, Shi Huang exchanges for a batch of various elixirs to assist his cultivation, ten first-order Mixed Spirit Fruits, ten second-order Mixed Spirit Fruits, three primary spells whose power reaches the supreme level, and one month's usage permission for a second-order spiritual vein cave dwelling.

The wealthy Shi Huang spent nearly 20,000 contribution points in one go.

It felt great while exchanging, but looking at the contribution points deducted from his Dongxuan Token, Shi Huang feels a bit of a heartache again.

The bulk of the contribution point consumption was not for anything else, but for those twenty Mixed Spirit Fruits.

Those twenty Mixed Spirit Fruits alone cost Shi Huang 13,000 contribution points.

These Mixed Spirit Fruits are the fruits grown from first and second-order seedling-stage Mixed Spirit Trees on the seventh-order Mixed Spirit Stone mine occupied by one of Ye Ye Qingxuan's clones in the East Extreme Domain, Lin Yuan Province.

Mixed Spirit Fruits can nourish a cultivator's physical body, enhancing their physical strength and the resilience of their meridians.

After consuming them, even without practicing body-refining techniques, Shi Huang can ignore the impact of first and second-order spiritual energy, significantly accelerating the progress of absorbing and refining first and second-order spiritual energy, saving Shi Huang a lot of cultivation time.

Although this batch of resources cost a lot of contribution points, with Shi Huang's talent, it is enough for him to cultivate all the way to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Shi Huang prepares to raise his cultivation base to the Foundation Establishment Realm within Dongxuan City before returning to Stone Village.

With his talent, plus this batch of resources, it won't take him much time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Holding the resources he just exchanged, Shi Huang leaves the Exchange Hall and flies toward the location of the second-order spiritual vein cave dwelling he exchanged for.
