Chapter 556

Just as Shi Huang was in seclusion.

Over the next few days, various news about the grand final of the Star Fall Continent Qi Refining Realm competition began to spread rapidly throughout Star Fall Continent.

In particular, the ranking of the one hundred strongest prodigies of this generation in Star Fall Continent, although not yet spread to every corner of the continent, has already spread to all the major commandery cities along with the return of the participants.

For a time, the top three—Jun Jun Moyan, Li Taibai, and Xiao Xiao Yuexian—suddenly became famous throughout Star Fall Continent.

While receiving the praise of countless older-generation powerhouses, they also gained the admiration of a large group of young teenagers who had not yet stepped onto the path of cultivation or had just begun.

Even Shi Huang, who was of grassroots origin and ranked only twelfth, gained quite a few fans.

It is just that Shi Huang, who is currently in seclusion, does not know about all this yet.

Stone Village.

At this moment, the village chief of Stone Village is holding his Dongxuan Token, tears streaming down his face.

Although the news of the grand final of the Star Fall Continent Qi Refining Realm competition has not yet reached Stone Village.

But on the third day after the competition ended, which is today, Dongxuan City has already distributed the corresponding rewards to the major villages, small towns, and cities.

And the reward obtained by Stone Village was naturally distributed to the Stone Village chief's Dongxuan Token.

The reward of 200,000 contribution points, along with the information attached to it, has already let this white-haired old man know everything.

Looking at the 200,000 contribution points in the Dongxuan Token, the Stone Village chief sighs with emotion in his heart.

If he had been able to obtain resources worth 200,000 contribution points back then, how could his cultivation have remained stuck at the Qi Refining Realm? Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, the Stone Village chief hesitates for a moment, then finally shakes his head slowly and says softly:

"Forget it, of these 200,000 contribution points, keep 30,000 to cultivate the future new generation of cultivators in Stone Village, and give the rest to Little Stone!"

He is already old, and his spirit is no longer what it used to be.

Rather than wasting resources and continuing to drift along, it is better to leave the resources to the new generation of Stone Village and Shi Huang, to help them along their way.

Time passes slowly, seven days later.

Inside the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Ye Qingxuan's four clones, which were entangled with demonic energy, have returned to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land one after another.

The clones share the same mind as Ye Ye Qingxuan's main body.

Without needing Ye Ye Qingxuan to say more, after the four clones return to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, they each pick up a storage ring floating in the air and then disperse to prepare for seclusion to improve their cultivation bases.

One month later, four intense energy fluctuations erupt one after another within the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

After the cultivation bases of the four clones are all raised to the Pseudo-Void Meditation Realm, they leave the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land again through the Blessed Land's boundary gate.

Looking at the backs of the four clones as they leave, Ye Ye Qingxuan's gaze is deep, and it is unknown what he is thinking about.

He is not qualified to interfere with the overall situation between the two realms for the time being, but this does not mean he cannot lay out plans in advance for his own development and take precautions.

And this dark move is actually the wormhole passages that the Di Li Xuan Realm has opened to connect to the Green Demon Realm.

Now, the Star Fall Continent under his control has lost its wormhole passages.

However, his Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land can condense boundary gates, allowing the cultivators under his command to travel across domains, which can free them from the development constraints of Star Fall Continent lacking wormhole passages.

But if one day, the tacit understanding between the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm is broken, and they begin to destroy the wormhole passages connecting the two realms on a large scale.

To reduce the probability of the wormhole passages being discovered and destroyed by the Green Demon Realm, the only way is to reduce the number of cultivators sent through the wormhole passages and lower the impact of the wormhole passages on the Green Demon Realm side.

By then, coupled with a large-scale reduction in the number of wormhole passages.

The transmission through wormhole passages will very likely be restricted, and the quotas for hunting in the Green Demon Realm will inevitably fall short of demand.

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

According to the life-and-death situation between the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm, it is highly likely that the wormhole passages will be destroyed on a large scale by both sides.

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

Ever since the branch cities of Dongxuan City under Ye Ye Qingxuan's command spread across all provinces of the East Extreme Domain, Ye Ye Qingxuan has had a deep understanding of the situation there.

Ye Ye Qingxuan is not clear about the detailed situation in the other major domains of the Di Li Xuan Realm.

But within the entire East Extreme Domain, since the appearance of the wormhole passages, while the number of mid- and high-level human cultivators in the East Extreme Domain has increased, the number of low-level human cultivators has actually decreased by about 30 percent.

And this is still rough statistical data, even with the number of human cultivators being born increasing day by day in recent years.

Among them, the total number of ordinary residents in the East Extreme Domain has decreased by about 50 percent.

After all, in the early stages, not all major provinces in the East Extreme Domain were like Star Fall Continent, having a powerhouse like Ye Ye Qingxuan sitting in command.

If it weren't for the fact that in the last hundred years, Void Penetration Realm powerhouses have been born one after another in the major provinces of the East Extreme Domain, and Void Meditation Realm powerhouses have returned, which to a great extent deterred the Green Demon Realm powerhouses who invaded.

I am afraid the total number of ordinary residents in the East Extreme Domain would have shrunk by more than 70 percent.

The clash between the two realms and the racial war is a mutual slaughter with no way out and no bottom line.

The level of bloodshed involved can be imagined.

Not to mention others, just Ye Ye Qingxuan's many clones hunting in the Green Demon Realm over these years—wherever they have passed, has it not been a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? The reason Star Fall Continent is calm and enjoys rare peace.

Is nothing more than Ye Ye Qingxuan's external incarnation sitting in command of Star Fall Continent, secretly killing several invading Void Penetration Realm Green Demon clansmen, and deterring other invading Green Demon Realm cultivators.

It was even after he personally destroyed the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm in Star Fall Continent that the current stable situation was achieved.

Even so, before Ye Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base broke through to the Void Meditation Realm, Star Fall Continent, far from Dongxuan City and the areas of other major forces, still suffered bloodbaths by the Green Demon clan.

Otherwise, would the number of ordinary residents in Star Fall Continent be only what it is now? And it wouldn't be the case that the current cultivators of Dongxuan City cannot gather enough ordinary residents to go out and build villages, small towns, and cities, and can only temporarily satisfy a portion of the needs of Dongxuan City's cultivators.

Although this bloody invasion process also strikes at the opponent, large-scale casualties on one's own side are also unfavorable to the long-term development of the world.

Therefore, after the true masters of the two realms return, this situation will absolutely not be able to continue for long.

And there is no need to wait for the Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Li Xuan Realm to return.

Even now, in the major provinces of the Di Li Xuan Realm, powerhouses have already begun to search for and destroy the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm one after another.

And in a tit-for-tat manner, the powerhouses on the Green Demon Realm side are doing the same.

It is just that, because this behavior is currently only the private action of some powerhouses in the two realms, it is still only spreading within a small range.

But this trend is already very obvious.

And Ye Ye Qingxuan wants to take the lead before this happens, sending his four clones to the four outer domains of the Di Li Xuan Realm—the East Extreme Domain, Southern Man Domain, Western Desolate Domain, and Northern Li Domain—to each occupy a wormhole passage opened by the Di Li Xuan Realm. As long as his four clones each take a wormhole passage as the center to build a city and occupy the wormhole passage, they will temporarily not allow other human cultivators to use these four wormhole passages.

This way, they can avoid the entrances and exits of these four wormhole passages on the Green Demon Realm side being exposed by the traces of human cultivators' activities.

In this way, even if the Green Demon Realm begins to destroy the wormhole passages opened by the Di Li Xuan Realm on a large scale in the future.

He can also preserve and occupy four wormhole passages connecting to the Green Demon Realm in advance, as channels for the cultivators under his command to enter the Green Demon Realm for hunting and rapid growth in the future.

However, although Ye Ye Qingxuan wants to occupy four wormhole passages in advance, he also does not want to make enemies with too many powerhouses.

In the core and inner areas of the four outer domains—the East Extreme Domain, Southern Man Domain, Western Desolate Domain, and Northern Li Domain—there are countless powerhouses in the major provinces.

Even Ye Ye Qingxuan, relying solely on an ordinary clone, does not have the confidence to offend the cultivators of a province in these major provinces and forcibly occupy a wormhole passage.

But in the outer areas of the four outer domains—the East Extreme Domain, Southern Man Domain, Western Desolate Domain, and Northern Li Domain—those border provinces that are close to the Heavenly Abyss and are sparsely populated can allow Ye Ye Qingxuan to act recklessly.

Two-world contention, race war, this was a life-and-death mutual slaughter with no retreat and no bottom line.

The degree of bloodiness could be imagined.

Not to mention others, just Ye Ye Qingxuan's many clones, hunting in the Qingmo Realm all these years, where they passed, was it not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? The reason Xingluo Continent was peaceful and enjoyed rare peace

was nothing more than Ye Ye Qingxuan's body-external incarnation sitting in Xingluo Continent, secretly suppressing and killing several invading Void Penetration Realm Qingmo race members, deterring other invading Qingmo race cultivators.

Even later, he directly destroyed the wormhole channel opened by the Qingmo Realm in Xingluo Continent, and only then did he have the current stable situation.

Despite this, before Ye Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base broke through to the Void Meditation Realm, Xingluo Continent, far from Dongxuan City and other major forces, also suffered bloodbaths by the Qingmo race.

Otherwise, the number of mortal residents in Xingluo Continent would not be just the current number. It would not have made the current Dongxuan City cultivators unable to gather enough mortal residents to go out and build villages, towns, and cities, and could only temporarily satisfy a part of the needs of Dongxuan City cultivators.

This bloody invasion process, although it also hit the other side, large-scale casualties on one's own side were also not conducive to the long-term development of the world.

Therefore, after the true masters of the two worlds returned, this situation could absolutely not last for a long time.

And there was no need to wait for the Mahayana Realm powerhouses of the Di Li Xuan Realm to return.

Even now, in the major provinces of the Di Li Xuan Realm, there were already powerhouses who had begun to search for and destroy the wormhole channels opened by the Qingmo Realm.

And in a tit-for-tat manner, the powerhouses on the Qingmo Realm side were the same.

It was just that, because this kind of behavior was temporarily only a private act of some powerhouses in the two worlds, it was still only spreading in a small range.

But this sign was already very obvious.

And Ye Ye Qingxuan wanted to take the lead before this, sending four clones to the four outer regions of the Di Li Xuan Realm—the Eastern Pole Region, the Southern Man Region, the Western Desolate Region, and the Northern Li Region—to occupy one wormhole channel opened by the Di Li Xuan Realm each. As long as his four clones each took a wormhole channel as the center, built a city, and occupied the wormhole channel, temporarily not allowing other human cultivators to use these four wormhole channels.

This could prevent these four wormhole channels from being exposed by the traces of human cultivators' actions at the Qingmo Realm end.

In this way, even if the Qingmo Realm began to destroy the wormhole channels opened by the Di Li Xuan Realm on a large scale in the future,

he could also preserve and occupy four wormhole channels connecting to the Qingmo Realm in advance as channels for the cultivators under his command to enter the Qingmo Realm to hunt and grow rapidly in the future.

However, although Ye Ye Qingxuan wanted to occupy four wormhole channels in advance, he did not want to be enemies with too many powerhouses.

In the four outer regions of the Eastern Pole Region, the Southern Man Region, the Western Desolate Region, and the Northern Li Region, there were countless powerhouses in the major provinces in the core and inner areas.

Even Ye Ye Qingxuan, with a single ordinary clone, did not have the confidence to offend the cultivators of a province in these major provinces and forcibly occupy a wormhole channel.

But in the outer areas of the four outer regions of the Eastern Pole Region, the Southern Man Region, the Western Desolate Region, and the Northern Li Region, those border provinces that were close to the Heavenly Abyss and sparsely populated could allow Ye Ye Qingxuan to act recklessly.

On this trip, besides the sixth-order large arrays to stabilize the cities, Ye Ye Qingxuan's four clones did not carry too many things.

With Ye Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, building a city no longer needed to be as troublesome as before.

With his perception and application of the Earth Element profound meaning rules, he could make a giant city rise from the ground and shape it quickly with a single thought.

Therefore, this time Ye Ye Qingxuan did not need to make a big fuss and let Dongxuan City cultivators refine a large number of city components.

As long as his four clones went to the Eastern Pole Region, the Southern Man Region, the Western Desolate Region, and the Northern Li Region, and found a wormhole channel in the border provinces of these four outer regions, the city would naturally be born out of thin air.

"Hum!"

At this moment, a special fluctuation sounded in front of him, immediately attracting Ye Ye Qingxuan's attention.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Ye Qingxuan gazed at the miniature flying boat surrounded by two major rules and radiating emerald light in front of him, and smiled slightly:

"Refined for over a hundred years, it is finally done."

The emerald flying boat in front of Ye Ye Qingxuan was the eighth-order lower-grade flying boat he had refined from the remains of an eighth-order green wood ancient tree, containing the wood rules and life rules of the Small Success Realm.

"From now on, I will call you Green Wood Flying Boat!"

As soon as the words fell, the miniature emerald flying boat in front of Ye Ye Qingxuan shook slightly again.

"Hum!"

The Great Dao characters for 'Green' and 'Wood' were immediately branded into the core origin of this emerald flying boat.

The flying boat was a product of the combination of the artifact and array paths.

As an eighth-order lower-grade flying boat, the Green Wood Flying Boat was not only comparable to a mid-grade magic treasure itself, but also had an eighth-order lower-grade large array that integrated offense, defense, and support engraved on it.

After fully recovering, even without anyone controlling it, it was enough to rival an ordinary early-stage Void Meditation Realm cultivator in a short time.

In terms of speed and defense alone, the Green Wood Flying Boat could even rival a mid-stage Void Meditation Realm cultivator.

With a wave of his hand, after putting the Green Wood Flying Boat into his spiritual power void realm to warm it, Ye Ye Qingxuan stood up lazily and stretched.

Sitting in the air for over a hundred years, he was exhausted.

Although with his current cultivation base, he would not feel tired.

Taking a step, his figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, Ye Ye Qingxuan had already arrived at the stone pavilion outside.

Taking out his exclusive rocking chair and tea set, Ye Ye Qingxuan brewed tea while squinting his eyes and rocking on the rocking chair, looking very comfortable.

Three days later, Ye Ye Qingxuan, who had just returned to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, was slightly stunned.

With a flip of his palm, a scroll with flowing mountains and rivers, faintly visible flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish, radiating seven-colored light, floated in Ye Ye Qingxuan's hand.

Looking at his natal magic treasure, the World Map, a joyful smile appeared on Ye Ye Qingxuan's face.
