Although the guarding experience points were severely consumed due to sudden hemorrhage for temporary expansion, Zhang Dongyun took advantage of the temporary expansion and swept around, finally helping to restore a lot of blood to his pocket.
Therefore, the 19,000 points of guardian experience required for the ninth official expansion have already been prepared.
As long as the construction experience reaches the standard, the ninth official expansion can be carried out.
City Lord Zhang refreshes the system task list:
[Construction Task 9.5 - Invincible City is expanding and the population is increasing. City owners are requested to improve the people's livelihood in various places under their rule as soon as possible]
After reading the system task description, Zhang Dongyun frowned slightly.
This task may not be difficult, but it may not be easy.
The description is too general and lacks standards.
What does it mean to improve people’s livelihood?
To what extent does it take improvement to complete the task?
None of these systems would inform them, so City Lord Zhang and his men had no choice but to try their best.
However, in all areas that Invincible City can directly control, and even areas outside the city that are affected by Invincible City, Zhang Dongyun has always promoted the continuous improvement of basic people's livelihood.
The long-term efforts of Chen Yu, Mian Mian and others in Tiangong Hall have played a considerable role in this.
Speaking of which, compared to practitioners, ordinary people have benefited more from Tiangong Hall.
Zhang Dongyun believes that although the standard for completing the task has not yet been reached, it is probably not far away. As long as we continue, the construction task will be completed soon.
However, judging from the previous mission and this one, it is becoming more and more difficult to complete the construction mission.
It will take longer and longer.
Fortunately, I got Shen Herong's fairy fragments last time, which helped extend the survival time of Invincible City by a full five years.
If it only increases by one year like the previous two times, then it will be really troublesome based on the current difficulty and time-consuming completion of the construction task.
Zhang Dongyun shook his head slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, if a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.
Although Invincible City still has more than four years to survive, we still need to find other fairy fragments as soon as possible.
It is not yet clear whether Chu Yaoguang has any fragments in his hand.
In addition to searching for her whereabouts, we also need to step up our search for the traces of other people in the fairy trail.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dongyun checked the marks he had placed on those colorful peacocks.
At present, some of them are active in the Western Region, and some are scattered in the vast wilderness further west.
Through these colorful peacocks, Zhang Dongyun tried to find Lu Xueyuan, the "five-color god and demon" who ranked sixth among the twelve Yamas in the past.
It's just a pity that there is no harvest yet.
Zhang Dongyun incidentally ordered them to search for Lu Xueyuan, but also to search for Han Feiyu of the Shushan sect who had been missing from Middle-earth for a long time.
One of Han Feiyu's personal treasures came from a magic master who practiced the Black Armored Dragon Transformation.
If it was not from the "Black Dragon King" Yang Zheng in Nanhuang, it would not be that easy to find a demon with a high enough level of cultivation and the ability to practice the Black Armored Dragon Transformation.
After ruling it out, there is a high possibility that Han Feiyu's treasure came from the hands of the "Dragon Demon Emperor" Lei Han.
If we can capture this Han Feiyu, through him, we may have a chance to find Lei Han.
Do Lu Xueyuan, Lei Han and the others have fragments of immortal traces on their bodies?
Zhang Dongyun kept thinking in his mind.
There is no need to rush into some arrangements. It takes time and is laid out slowly.
After City Lord Zhang gave the instructions, he stopped worrying about it all the time and started practicing diligently on his own.
Ao Kong remained in seclusion and did not care about foreign affairs, while Ao Ying's training was in the hands of a certain uncle whose surname was actually Zhang.
Although he is practicing martial arts, but with the Invincible City system, Zhang Dongyun has no problem guiding demon practitioners.
After this period of hard training, Ao Ying has successfully cultivated the true form of the devil.
Moreover, like her father, she cultivated two demon bloodlines at the same time, and then both became demonic true bodies.
The magical powers obtained by the two major demon bloods, Phantom Mirage and Huantian Dragon, are similar and interoperable to a certain extent. Therefore, after Ao Ying's training, both bloodlines are more powerful.
This was the reason why she was arranged to practice like this in the first place.
However, compared to her father's ape-dragon transformation back then, Ao Ying has not yet been able to cultivate a mirage-like existence.
This requires her to go one step further and reach the second level of the true body of the demonic path, which is the eleventh level of the demonic path.
Before this, the magical powers of demon practitioners were basically similar to the great demon from which the bloodline they cultivated originated.
Only after reaching the eleventh realm can you integrate your own understanding and create your own magical powers.
Ao Kong's method of practicing multiple kinds of demon blood together has only reached this level before it achieves a truly perfect fusion.
Ao Kong himself walked this road back then.
Therefore, even after his cultivation level declined, he could still perform the Ape-Dragon Transformation.
And Ao Ying also had to go through it on her own.
Her current practice mainly focuses on this.
As for Aokong's other disciple He Sanyang, it is inevitable that he will also have to overcome the hurdles he has to go through on his own.
However, this boy is indeed quite talented in practicing magic.
He was captured by Yang Li and suffered a lot, which made his temperament tougher and even more sinister and cruel.
As a disciple of Aokong, his status in Chang'an City cannot be said to be low.
But He Sanyang has shown no signs of being complacent over the years, nor has he thought about returning home in glory.
Don't fight for power, and don't be greedy for wealth and enjoyment.
Throughout the year, he spent most of his time practicing hard.
Not long ago, he had just successfully cultivated the ninth realm of the devil's path and achieved the ability to disintegrate.
Such rapid progress is truly rare in the world.
Not to mention that the overall level of cultivation in Eastern Xinjiang is relatively low, but also in places such as the Middle Earth, Beimang, Southern Wasteland, and the Western Regions, it is rare in ancient and modern times for young people to progress as fast as He Sanyang.
However, the combination of his experiences as a boy and the experience of being kidnapped by Yang Li seemed to make Ao Kong, his disciple, extremely insecure.
So much so that his days now consist of practicing and practicing again and again.
After Zhang Dongyun gave some instructions to Ao Ying and his practice, he ordered: "Go to the Western Regions yourself and practice some practice."
"Yes, uncle." Ao Ying replied respectfully.
Congratulations to Sanyang as well: "I respectfully comply with your Majesty's order."
Although he has been conscientiously staying in the Sky City to practice hard, never leaving the door or taking a step forward, he does not exclude actual combat experience.
Now that Zhang Dongyun has spoken, it is for him and Ao Ying to go to the Western Regions to gain experience, instead of being the daughter of the "Ape Dragon King". The disciples are ordered by His Majesty to inspect.
Nowadays, the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou, for them, the Western Region is the only place that is somewhat risky.
Throughout the ages, Buddhism has had such a deep foundation there that we cannot just talk about it.
Although Chang'an City has now become the new master of the Western Regions, there are still many resisters on the land.
However, due to the power of Chang'an, most of the resistance has now gone underground.
The top Buddhist holy sites such as Dabei Temple, Ganye Temple, and Longxiang Temple have withdrawn from the Western Regions, but there are thousands of Buddhist sects and temples in the Western Regions and countless Buddhist practitioners.
Led by Xie Feng, Gu Pu, Liu Chengyu and others, they have been purging them.
Abbot Huaiyong, Abbot Xiankong and others who retreated overseas did not completely give up on such a good basic environment in the Western Regions.
Some Buddhist disciples from Ganye Temple, Dabei Temple, Longxiang Temple and even Xiniu Hezhou sneaked into the interior of the Western Regions from time to time to contact, organize and lead the local people in the Western Regions who resisted the rule of Chang'an.
Throughout the Western Region, there has been no shortage of low-intensity local confrontations over the past year.
If the overall situation does not change, then as time goes by, Chang'an will eventually eradicate all resisters.
It's just that the other party obviously won't surrender directly.
Ao Ying and He Sanyang are going to the Western Regions for training, which is just the right time.
There is no risk at all, so there is no so-called experience. Some dangers must be taken, even if you are really in danger.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the risk is too great. Instructing junior disciples to go out and gain experience is not to ask people to directly die.
The current situation in the Western Region is just right.
In places such as Central-Earth and the Western Regions, the number of top masters is much greater than in the Eastern Region.
But this does not mean that there are no practitioners at or even lower levels of the Nine Realms in the Central and Western Regions.
On the contrary, no matter which realm, the overall number is only greater than that in Eastern Xinjiang.
Without such a large grassroots group, there would be no giants at the top.
Nowadays, abbot Huaiyong, abbot Jingge and other giants have taken the initiative to evacuate from the Western Regions. Most of the people who remain here are from the middle and lower classes.
The Prison Dragon Sect, the Daxuan Dynasty, the Shushan Sect, etc., in addition to leaders such as Jie Feng, Liu Chengyu, and Gu Pu, they also have a large number of disciples of middle and low levels who are killing people in the Western Regions.
Ao Ying and He Sanyang arrived at the place and were directly incorporated into it.
"Please give me more advice, senior." Ao Ying saluted an elder of the Prison Dragon Sect.
Next to him, He Sanyang followed with a fist pump.
The elder of the Prison Dragon Sect stroked his beard and smiled: "Easy to say, easy to say."
He turned around and waved to the other side: "Yi Ming!"
Ao Ying and He Sanyang followed each other's gaze and saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties and of medium build walking towards them.
"Uncle Fang." The young man came closer with a warm smile on his face.
Elder Fang said: "These two came from Chang'an City to work with us to wipe out the remnants of the Buddhist sect. You are familiar with the local environment. Next, act with them and listen to their guidance."
"Yes, uncle." The young man cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm Huo Yiming, please give me some advice."
"I don't dare take it seriously. We are not familiar with the place. Of course, everything is subject to Brother Huo's orders." Ao Ying quickly returned the courtesy.
The young man named Huo Yiming had a bright smile on his face: "Come, let me introduce some other brothers to you."
Following the other party's acknowledgment, Ao Ying said to He Sanyang in private: "We are new here. Let's see more and learn more first, and then get familiar with the environment of the Western Regions."
She knew that her junior brother always had great ideas.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I understand." He Sanyang nodded: "That elder Fang is responsible for the search work within a radius of several thousand miles. Needless to say, his cultivation level is definitely strong. But that Huo Yiming, I am a little unsure. What do you think, senior sister?
?”
Ao Ying said: "The energy and blood are restrained, and you can't tell your true level without taking action, but you must have cultivated the martial arts emperor's body."
He Sanyang said: "That is indeed quite capable. No wonder Elder Fang asked us to go with him first."
After all, it's just experience, and the identity of the two brothers and sisters lies there.
To put it bluntly, even if they didn't care about He Sanyang, the Yulong Sect would not allow Ao Ying to cause trouble on their territory.
Ao Ying smiled bitterly: "It's no wonder, but as I said just now, the first thing we should do is familiarize ourselves with the environment, and don't try to show off."
He Sanyang nodded: "I don't have to worry about it. Even if I have to do it by myself, I should first familiarize myself with the local conditions."
