Chapter 551: Topping the List of Unsolved Mysteries

On the fourth day after the announcement of the second opening of the Soul Realm, the cultivators who obtained the quotas all gathered in the central square of Nanxiang County City.

The moment the last cultivator stepped into the square, a fierce figure descended on the square.

Hua Changxi was surrounded by scorching firelight, blurring her appearance, like a bright sun, instantly grabbing the attention of the audience.

"Silence!"

"Prepare to enter the Soul Realm!"

Without any nonsense, Hua Changxi directly sacrificed the Nether Fire Match.

The dark blue light cluster emitting a gloomy and cold aura appeared in sight. The cultivators in the square and the surrounding onlookers held their breath, and the whole audience was silent in an instant.

"Crack~"

The sound of the match striking rang out.

The next moment, the space in front of Hua Changxi trembled violently, layers of folds surged, and a space crack the size of a person slowly took shape.

Seeing this scene, the ten thousand cultivators in the square burst into excitement, all thinking that this crack was the entrance to the Soul Realm, and they all tensed their bodies, ready to fly into it at any time.

However, before everyone could move, a vast and majestic soul power suddenly poured down, covering the entire square without warning, and with irresistible force, directly pulled them into the darkness.

The onlookers outside the square only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall, who was as dazzling as a bright sun, and the tens of thousands of cultivators in the square, seemed to be swallowed by the crack, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The huge square became empty in an instant, leaving only the heat that had not yet dissipated in the air, echoing quietly in the world.

The surrounding crowd instantly exploded with fragmented discussions, one after another, full of shock and surprise.

"Is this entering the Soul Realm?"

"The way to enter the Soul Realm is different from what I imagined."

Nanxiang County City was crowded with cultivators who came after hearing the news. Even if they had no quota, it would be good to come and join in the fun and grow their knowledge.

But who would have thought that from the appearance of the Soul Realm entrance to the disappearance of everyone, it was only a blink of an eye, and they didn't even see a sound.

In the major restaurants, food buildings, and tea houses around the square, the elders and persons in charge of the Xuanyuan Prefecture, the five major holy lands, and major top forces were also staring at the square.

Compared to ordinary cultivators watching the fun, they saw some unusual clues from this short scene.

The secret realms currently mastered by the human race are mostly bound by space barriers, and their stability varies.

Most secret realms require cultivators to line up and enter one by one.

Only a few secret realms with extremely high grades and stable space barriers allow cultivators to carry corresponding media, such as entry and exit tokens, to be unified and teleported.

But the opening of the Nine Nether Soul Realm this time, they saw it clearly: the ten thousand participating cultivators were not entering the realm autonomously, but were all wrapped by the majestic soul power of the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall and brought into the secret realm together.

"Wrapping ten thousand cultivators..."

The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall has a very strong divine sense!

The persons in charge of some familiar forces looked at each other, their eyes filled with thick confusion.

According to some evidence they found, Hua Changxi is very likely the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall.

However, Hua Changxi is only a Nascent Soul cultivator. This point has been clearly confirmed by many parties through some special means.

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator possess such a powerful divine sense?

These people couldn't help but have doubts again: Is Hua Changxi really the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall?

"Hey!"

The persons in charge sighed in unison.

They found that every time they were about to conclude that the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall was Hua Changxi, there would be a succession of clues proving that Hua Changxi

The same confusion and suspicion were spreading among the other major camps, and all parties felt quite helpless about this.

If a 'Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries' poll were held in the Central Continent right now, 'Is Hua Changxi really the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall?' would definitely top the list.

Just as all parties were still discussing the 'rapid opening and disappearance of the Soul Realm,' Hua Changxi had already emerged from it.

She had never been able to discern where the ominous crisis lingering over Nanxiang County originated.

Now that she had discovered that popularity could dilute the crisis, she naturally would not let this breakthrough opportunity slip by.

Therefore, before entering the Soul Realm, she did not exhaust her own soul power; after sending tens of thousands of cultivators into the Soul Realm, she was ejected by the realm while her soul power was still at its peak.

As soon as she came out, she went straight to the Nanxiang County government office.

"Hall Master?!"

Song Weimin was handling affairs in his office when he suddenly saw Hua Changxi appear, and he could not help but be greatly shocked: "You... aren't you leading people into the Soul Realm?"

Hua Changxi: "...... One can come out after going in." As she spoke, she raised her hand to signal, "Sit, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing Hua Changxi's solemn expression, Song Weimin hurriedly composed himself, straightened his posture, and sat down.

Hua Changxi got straight to the point: "I agree to the proposal you made earlier about extensively recruiting cultivators and encouraging them to settle in Nanxiang County."

Upon hearing this, Song Weimin's spirits lifted, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Before he could speak, Hua Changxi continued: "To attract cultivators to come, the blessed lands within Nanxiang County can be gradually opened to the outside."

"However, the primary purpose of the blessed lands remains to provide for the training and practice of the Zhu Que Army."

"Therefore, ordinary cultivators who wish to enter must meet certain conditions."

Song Weimin nodded; he was very clear that the foundation of Nanxiang City was the Zhu Que Army, and the development and strengthening of the Zhu Que Army was naturally the primary task.

Although he wanted to make Nanxiang City prosperous, he would not damage its foundation.

Hua Changxi: "I will give you a direction to think about, for example: settling in Nanxiang County for a full year allows one entry into a blessed land once for ten days of cultivation; settling for two years allows two entries for twenty days of cultivation..."

"Another example: the current Nanxiang County has vast territory, and the land around the blessed lands is nourished by spiritual energy and can all be opened up as spiritual fields."

"You can post a notice that any cultivator who comes to reclaim wasteland will own all the spiritual fields they cultivate, and taxes will be waived for the first three years, using this to attract cultivators to settle down."

"As for the upper limit of the number of acres a single person can cultivate, you should make a decision after conducting an on-site inspection."

"For these matters, gather your staff and draft a complete set of implementation regulations as soon as possible."

"In addition, any arrangements involving the blessed lands must be notified to Lingguang Hall for joint discussion."

"In short, the formulation of all rules must have the core goal of retaining cultivators and their families and letting everyone take root in Nanxiang County for the long term."

"One more point: when cultivators and ordinary people live in the same place, the boundaries must be handled properly, and a set of practical and feasible management laws must be formulated."

Song Weimin's eyes lit up as he listened; he had not expected the Hall Master to give him such great support.

Opening the blessed lands and even giving spiritual fields to cultivators...

Once these two pieces of news were released, one didn't even need to think to know that a large number of cultivators would flock to Nanxiang County.

There was no other reason; what do cultivators value most and lack the most?

Cultivation resources!

Spiritual fields are means of production, and the blessed lands used to train the Zhu Que Army are also cultivation treasures that ordinary cultivators find difficult to access.

Just one of these two things would be enough to make countless cultivators' hearts flutter, let alone being able to enjoy both.
