Chapter Summaries

Ye Yuhong told Ye Qingxuan that he would lead Ye Family cultivators into the Xuanmu Realm to hunt the Azure Devil Race, and arranged for other clan members to collect the Ye Family’s Blessed Land share. Ye Qingxuan offered the group protection and a connection to the Mysterious Mall City Lord, while Ye Yuhong returned to the Ye Family with supplies and kept Ye Qingxuan’s circumstances private.

• Ye Qingxuan asked Ye Yuhong about the Ye Family’s growth, and Ye Yuhong reported increases in its Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators.
• Ye Yuhong told Ye Qingxuan to give the Blessed Land’s share to anyone bearing the Ye Family Patriarch’s Token because he planned to lead cultivators to the Xuanmu Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan warned of the danger but advised Ye Yuhong to seek help from the Mysterious Mall City Lord, who had an old connection with him.
• Ye Qingxuan secretly added powerful attack and defense talismans to the supplies Ye Zhaoheng had purchased for Ye Yuhong’s expedition.
• Ye Yuhong visited Ye Zhaoyang, gave him tea without revealing its source, and returned to the Ye Family with the resources.

Ye Qingxuan prepared to expand his supplies of pills, treasures, and Nuclear Explosion Pills ahead of his External Incarnation’s arrival in the East Extremity Domain. With Monster Cores scarce and costly in the Dihuan Realm Inner Five Domains, he saw the East Extremity Domain’s abundant Demonic Beasts as a promising new source.

• Ye Qingxuan reviewed his progress in the four cultivation arts and his mastery of spells for refining Combat Puppets.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to build inventory over the next twenty years for his External Incarnation’s city and sales outlets.
• Ye Qingxuan noted that rising Nuclear Explosion Pill demand had driven up Monster Core prices, while his supply of Tier Six Demonic Cores remained limited.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to preserve his thirty-seven Tier Six Demonic Cores for future Tier Six Top-grade Nuclear Explosion Pills.
• Ye Qingxuan realized that his External Incarnation could transport Monster Cores and other Demonic Beast materials from the East Extremity Domain through the Realm Gate.

Ye Qingxuan spent years refining treasures and developing Mysterious Mall, using its profits to buy Azure Devil Race corpses and strengthen Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land. When the Ye Family arrived in Xuanmu Realm, he gave them a safe base through the city’s puppets but kept his connection to them hidden.

• Ye Qingxuan let the populations of Earth Dragons, Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, and Spirit Infusion Bees grow, while postponing plans to sell his Eight Treasures Chickens, Fragrant Pigs, and Spirit Rabbits.
• Over eleven years, Mysterious Mall developed into a city earning ten thousand high-grade spirit stones in daily net profit, which Ye Qingxuan spent on low-level Azure Devil Race corpses.
• Ye Qingxuan’s Explorer Clone brought the corpses back to Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and Mysterious Mall residents also sold their surplus corpses there.
• Ye Yuhong led the Ye Family Cultivators to Mysterious Mall, where Ye Qingxuan arranged a safe base for them without meeting them or revealing his connection to the family.
• Ye Qingxuan watched the Ye Family arrive from above Shangxuan Pavilion and kept their settlement procedures the same as those for other cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan sold five thousand Tier 5 Spirit Purifying Trees through Bai Zichun and exchanged their value for spirit vein sources. After Bai Zichun left with a gift of tea, Ye Qingxuan waited for the sources to arrive.

• Ye Qingxuan contacted Bai Zichun and asked him to come collect a batch of Tier 5 Spirit Purifying Trees.
• Bai Zichun asked about Ye Qingxuan’s shop, but Ye Qingxuan avoided revealing its identity and offered him tea.
• Ye Qingxuan told Bai Zichun he would sell five thousand Tier 5 Spirit Purifying Trees, surprising him with the quantity.
• Ye Qingxuan handed over the trees and applied through Bai Zichun to exchange them for one Tier 5 Spirit Vein Source and fifteen Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein Sources.
• Bai Zichun left with a pack of Tier Four Quiet Heart Tea, while Ye Qingxuan stayed behind to await the spirit vein sources.

Ye Qingxuan integrated Spirit Vein Sources into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and established two Fourth-Tier Spirit Veins beneath the Mysterious Mall, greatly improving the supply of Spiritual Energy. Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators chose to make the Mysterious Mall their base in the Xuanmu Realm, where they could recover and cultivate with tier 4 Spiritual Energy.

• Ye Qingxuan integrated one Tier 5 and thirteen Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein Sources into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, leaving two Fourth-Tier Sources for the Mysterious Mall.
• Five days later, the new Spirit Veins began helping the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land absorb Void Energy and Chaos Energy, and Ye Qingxuan estimated it would reach the late stage of Tier 3 quickly.
• Ye Qingxuan sent his Explorer Clone to deliver the two remaining Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein Sources to the Mysterious Mall, where his Mysterious Merchant Clone activated them with Spiritual Energy over three months.
• The two Fourth-Tier Spirit Veins beneath the Mysterious Mall opened Energy Channels, drew in outside energy, and supplied tier 4 Spiritual Energy to the Cave Mansion Courtyards.
• Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators in the Mysterious Mall chose to settle there as their base in the Xuanmu Realm after discovering its supply of tier 4 Spiritual Energy.

Ye Qingxuan witnessed a Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast attack the Tianyuan Merchant Guild Tower Ship as it neared the East Extremity Domain. A Tianyuan Merchant Guild Great Power fought the beast with Second Layer Realm Fire Profound Meaning, but the enraged beast gathered both Lightning and Thunder and Water Profound Meaning for its next attack.

• Ye Qingxuan descended upon his External Incarnation aboard the Tianyuan Merchant Guild Tower Ship and saw a Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast trap the ship in a vast electric net.
• A Tianyuan Merchant Guild Great Power dismissed the beast’s First Layer Realm Lightning and Thunder Profound Meaning and launched his Skyfire Prairie attack with a fire-wreathed spear.
• The Demonic Beast gathered Lightning Power into pillars and clashed with the Great Power’s Skyfire, sending shockwaves and towering waves across the sea.
• The ship’s Formation lifted it above the waves and shielded it from the aftermath as the clash forced both combatants backward.
• The Skyfire attack failed to cause much damage, enraging the Demonic Beast, which began gathering First Layer Realm Water Profound Meaning alongside Lightning and Thunder.

Fire Old Man and Water Old Man joined forces to defeat and kill the Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast that had attacked the Tianyuan Merchant Guild Tower Ship. The beast died after three months of being suppressed and worn down, while Ye Qingxuan witnessed the battle.

• Fire Old Man and the Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast clashed with attacks combining Fire, Water, Lightning, and Thunder Profound Meaning Rules, shattering space and damaging the Tower Ship’s Golden Shield.
• The wounded demonic beast tried to escape, but Water Old Man used the Minor Divine Ability Colorful Sea Realm to suppress it.
• Fire Old Man rushed into the Colorful Sea Realm and repeatedly wounded the trapped demonic beast, preventing it from gathering power to flee.
• After three months of relentless attacks, the demonic beast let out a weak roar, its Life Fire went out, and it crashed into the Endless Sea Domain.

Ye Qingxuan watched Water Old Man and Fire Old Man kill a Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast near the East Extremity Domain, then declined Han Ming’s invitation to travel together. After nearly seventy years aboard the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's Tower Ship, Ye Qingxuan finally saw the East Extremity Domain’s coastline and prepared to pursue his plans there.

• Water Old Man and Fire Old Man killed the Void Glimpse Realm Demonic Beast after a three-month battle and returned to the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's Tower Ship.
• Ye Qingxuan considered the growing activity of demonic beasts near the East Extremity Domain and concluded that the region’s resources were important to advancing his Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• Han Ming invited Ye Qingxuan, who was using the name Gui Xuanzi, to travel through the East Extremity Domain with a group, but Ye Qingxuan declined.
• Ye Qingxuan kept a low profile aboard the Tower Ship for several years while occasionally going out to admire the Endless Sea Domain.
• Nearly seventy years after boarding the Tower Ship, Ye Qingxuan saw the coastline of the East Extremity Domain.

Ye Qingxuan reached the East Extremity Domain and prepared his External Incarnation with powerful treasures and defenses before traveling farther. When he sensed Han Ming and his companions being ambushed nearby, he secured his own position and chose not to intervene.

• The Tianyuan Merchant Guild's Tower Ship arrived at its East Extremity Domain dock, and Ye Qingxuan left alone to travel into the domain's interior.
• Ye Qingxuan opened a Realm Gate in a secluded mountain forest and received a Boundary Suppressing Pagoda, combat puppets, a flying ship, talismans, and formation disks from his main body.
• Ye Qingxuan began refining the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and set up a Tier Six Guardian Formation around his temporary refuge.
• Several hundred li away, East Extremity Domain bandit cultivators ambushed Han Ming and the companions who had joined him.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed the battle, reinforced his defenses, and resumed refining rather than going to help Han Ming.

Ye Qingxuan traveled deep into East Extremity Domain to avoid the Tianyuan Merchant Guild and find a place to establish his commercial power. After twelve years of difficult travel, he chose to begin developing in Xingluo State, planning to move closer to the domain’s core once his main body reached the Void Glimpse stage.

• Ye Qingxuan used ten Directional Teleportation Talismans to travel into Jihai State, then learned from Zhao Yu and Lin Yu that Yudu City had the nearest teleportation array.
• Ye Qingxuan entered Yudu City, concealed his cultivation, and spent seven days investigating Jihai State’s powers and teleportation routes.
• Ye Qingxuan used Yudu City’s teleportation array and traveled across Jihai State and Extreme Heaven State over twelve years, sometimes encountering trouble along the way.
• After arriving in Xingluo State, Ye Qingxuan abandoned his plan to travel farther and decided to establish himself there until his main body reached the Void Glimpse stage.

Gui Xuanzi saved Qingguang City from a beast tide after Zhou Qingguang abandoned the city, then claimed command over the city and its people. He gave anyone unwilling three days to leave, revealing that he wanted the population to help build his power in the Dihuan Realm.

• Zhou Qingguang ordered Heifeng, Qingyu, and Xueyu to fight the beast tide while the city's cultivators attacked from behind the defensive formation.
• Three powerful Tier 4 demonic beasts arrived and battered the formation until Zhou Qingguang ordered a retreat, abandoning the city's residents.
• The formation collapsed, and the beasts entered Qingguang City as mortals, including Yinyin and her grandfather, faced imminent danger.
• Gui Xuanzi appeared above the city, crushed the lower-tier beasts with the Boundary Suppressing Power, and killed the three Tier 4 demonic beasts with his flying sword.
• Zhou Qingguang returned and submitted to Gui Xuanzi, who declared the city and its people under his command and allowed dissenters three days to leave.

Ye Qingxuan let Qingguang City's residents choose whether to stay, then sought a detailed map of Xingluo State to find a better site for a new city. He left for Qingli City and gave those who wished to leave three days before he returned.

• Ye Qingxuan barred those who left Qingguang City from settling there again and restricted those who stayed from leaving without his permission.
• Most mortals remained, while most Rogue Cultivators chose to leave; Li Yuan stayed with his pregnant wife, Mu Qingqing, and Wang Xing departed with several friends.
• Zhou Qingguang told Ye Qingxuan that he had only a rough map of Xingluo State and that Qingli City's Treasure Pavilion sold detailed maps.
• Ye Qingxuan learned Qingguang City had no Teleportation Array to Qingli City, left a Sixth-Rank Puppet in the city, and announced he would return in three days.
• Ye Qingxuan left Qingguang City and headed toward Qingli City.

Zhou Qingguang decided to remain in Qingguang City for the time being because its Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein supported his cultivation. After reaching Qingli City and studying a detailed map of Xingluo State, Ye Qingxuan chose Wan Ling Mountain Summit as his next target for Casting City.

• Heifeng urged Zhou Qingguang to leave Qingguang City, but Zhou Qingguang chose to stay unless Gui Xuanzi went too far.
• Two days after leaving Zhou Qingguang, Ye Qingxuan arrived at Qingli City and paid Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones to enter.
• Ye Qingxuan bought a detailed map of Xingluo State from the Treasure Pavilion for one hundred High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Ye Qingxuan examined the map and learned the locations of Xingluo State's major powers and Demonic Beast gathering grounds.
• Ye Qingxuan avoided targeting Spirit Transformation Level Demonic Beast gathering grounds and selected Wan Ling Mountain Summit.

Ye Qingxuan chose Wan Ling Mountain as the site for his new city and returned to Qingguang City to arrange a teleportation array. Zhou Qingguang agreed to manage Qingguang City under Ye Qingxuan, while Heifeng, Qingyu, and Xueyu gained freedom from their contracts; Ye Qingxuan then left with a matching teleportation base.

• Ye Qingxuan selected Wan Ling Mountain as the location for his new city because of its resources, terrain, and distance from Spirit Transformation Level Powers.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingguang City and found Zhou Qingguang still there with Heifeng, Qingyu, and Xueyu.
• Ye Qingxuan offered Zhou Qingguang the choice of managing the new city or remaining Qingguang City's Lord and supplying the new city with people and resources.
• Zhou Qingguang chose to manage Qingguang City, and Ye Qingxuan instructed him to transfer at least seventy percent of its Guard Team and mortal residents to the new city.
• Zhou Qingguang dissolved the contracts binding Heifeng, Qingyu, Xueyu, and the other Guard Team Members.
• Ye Qingxuan set up a teleportation array in Qingguang City, copied a same-frequency formation base, and departed again.

After arranging purchases and construction preparations through his main body and External Incarnation, he went to Treasure Pavilion in Huangfeng City to buy Mortal Ore.

• Ye Qingxuan traveled through Qingli City to Huangfeng City, then flew for several days to reach Wan Ling Mountain.
• Ye Qingxuan surveyed Wan Ling Mountain and its surrounding spirit lands, deciding to build a city 3 Thousand Kilometers Long and Wide around it.
• Ye Qingxuan planned a Sixth-order Mid-grade City Guard Great Formation, 10,000 Small Teleportation Arrays, and a city built largely from Mortal Ore.
• Ye Qingxuan had Zhu Dafu purchase materials and contracted out the Small Teleportation Array components, while planning to refine the Formation Bases himself.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Huangfeng City and asked Treasure Pavilion whether it sold Mortal Ore; its attendant guessed he wanted to cast a city, and he confirmed it.

Ye Qingxuan bought materials for a new city and ordered Qingguang City’s cultivators to refine them into components for Contribution Points. He reassured them that a Large Teleportation Array would make relocation safe, while keeping the city’s location secret.

• Ye Qingxuan negotiated a ten percent discount with Treasure Pavilion’s Beautiful Woman and bought one billion cubic units of mysterious-yellow bricks, along with lumber and Refined Iron.
• Bai Xuanli, the Huangfeng City branch’s Pavilion Master, approved the discount and wondered which force planned to build a city near Huangfeng City.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingguang City, summoned Zhou Qingguang, and told the gathered cultivators that at least seventy percent of the population would relocate to a new city.
• Ye Qingxuan offered Contribution Points for refining the purchased materials into City Components, with each point worth one Low-grade Spirit Stone.
• Li Yuan asked about the new city’s distance and the dangers of relocating, and Ye Qingxuan promised a Large Teleportation Array while keeping the location confidential.

Ye Qingxuan planned the new city around Wan Ling Mountain and, after three years of preparation, moved to clear the mountain of Demonic Beasts. He defeated its beasts and gathered resources, leaving the way open to establish the city.

• Ye Qingxuan designed a city of 10800 Districts, with farmland, Teleportation Plazas, residences, and Contribution Point rules for residents and Foreign Cultivators.

• After three years, Ye Qingxuan brought the city components to Wan Ling Mountain and secretly arranged a Sixth-tier Formation that suppressed Demonic Beasts.
• Ye Qingxuan sent two Sixth-Rank Puppets into the mountain, prompting Rogue Cultivators nearby to flee as news of the upheaval spread.
• The Puppets killed all the mountain’s Demonic Beasts, and Ye Qingxuan collected their Monster Cores and Essence Blood for Nuclear Explosion Pills and Blood Trees.

Ye Qingxuan established three sixth-grade formations, cleared the region around Wan Ling Mountain, and built Dongxuan City, with East Xuan Market and East Xuan Blessed Land at its core. He returned to Qingguang City to prepare for relocating its residents, while Huangfeng City’s leaders ordered an investigation into the changes at Wan Ling Mountain.

• Ye Qingxuan buried and activated 1080 Formation Bases, creating three sixth-grade formations that enclosed the area around Wan Ling Mountain.
• Ye Qingxuan teleported away the investigating cultivators, then used the formations to eliminate more than a hundred thousand demonic beasts and collect their essence blood and Monster Cores.
• Ye Qingxuan concealed the area from outside view and built Dongxuan City, including East Xuan Market and the auction venue East Xuan Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan set up four Teleportation Arrays linking Dongxuan City to Qingguang City and planned to relocate about 3.15 million residents over roughly fifty days.
• Wasp Daoist and Bai Xuanli ordered investigations into the unusual activity at Wan Ling Mountain.

• Ye Qingxuan set up Teleportation Arrays in Qingguang City's other three districts and announced free Courtyard Buildings and land for residents who relocated to the new city.

• Most of the original Guard Team stepped forward to join Ye Qingxuan, and Xueyu also chose to leave, surprising Heifeng and Qingyu.
• Ye Qingxuan counted 1,352 cultivators joining the New City Guard and 234 choosing to remain as Rogue Cultivators, then asked the new guard members to stay behind.

Ye Qingxuan organized the new Dongxuan City Guard Team and explained its ranks, requirements, and benefits. He then assigned its cultivators to duties as Qingguang City's residents began relocating to Dongxuan City, whose immense size reassured the guards.

• Ye Qingxuan established the Dongxuan City Guard Team, outlined its elite standards and benefits, and named Xueyu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, and Liu Feifeng as battalion leaders.
• Ye Qingxuan ordered the four battalion leaders to form their units and help manage the teleportation arrays as Qingguang City's residents moved.
• Ye Qingxuan assigned the remaining cultivators to maintain order during the relocation, with plans for them to form their own units afterward.
