He deployed clones across the Dihuan Realm to monitor the coming Two Realm War and prepared to expand his ranks of subordinate blessed cultivators.

• Liu Tai'an told Ye Qingxuan that only twenty-five years remained, while Luo Linger asked about the Azure Devil Realm and was told to focus on cultivation.

• After arranging his clones across the Dihuan Realm, Ye Qingxuan decided to expand the ranks of his subordinate blessed cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan lifted the restrictions on the three thousand Blessed Cultivators in Qingxuan Cave Heaven, allowing them to spend points on temporary leave from their Blessed Lands. The cultivators cautiously exchanged for a few days and successfully emerged into Qingxuan Cave Heaven, eager to travel or return to Dongxuan City.

• Ye Qingxuan decided to expand the number of Blessed Cultivators in Qingxuan Cave Heaven but not in Qingxuan Blessed Land, where Cen Zhe might discover them.

• Wary of the steep costs and the danger of failing to return on time, many Blessed Cultivators exchanged for three to seven days of leave.
• Qingxuan Cave Heaven Rules temporarily blocked the cultivators’ connections to their Blessed Lands, and they successfully emerged across the Cave Heaven.
