After the promulgation of the ordinance prohibiting visitors from outside the country in search of mineral resources, the number of people coming here reached a peak.

Because the news spread very quickly, the warriors of a total of six or seven hundred countries in the Southern Continent and the Western Continent heard about it, and many people immediately prepared to go to the no-man's land after hearing the news.

If you don't do it now, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

If this is done, children and grandchildren will be able to sit on the mine and enjoy it.

There may not be such an opportunity in the future.

On the territory belonging to the Tibetan Sword Ridge, many warriors looking for resources soon appeared.

In that large area, the largest mineral resource is the Mithril mine where the Hidden Sword Ridge is located, and there is no problem in mining for thousands of years, and there are some other small minerals, but because of the harsh environment, it is not suitable to set up a separate mining point there.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Holy Light Academy only chose this Mithril mine, and did not care about anything else.

But for some warriors in the secular world, those small mines can also be eaten by their families in peace for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Even iron and coal mines are being explored.

- Although these things have no effect on the sect, they have great significance for the common people who live on that side.

The population is coming, and the sphere of influence of the Hidden Sword Ridge is also expanding.

In the previous ten years, in fact, their people did not even control the area of land handed over by the Holy Light Academy.

The land area handed over by the Holy Light Academy is equivalent to the size of a Yi country, which is an area of more than 10,000 li vertically and more than 30,000 li horizontally.

However, after the promulgation of the prospecting regulations, a large number of people poured in, and the area that was handed over has become a territory firmly controlled by humans, and there is basically no trace of monster activities, and traces of human activities can be found.

Moreover, they are even more far-reaching.

The Tibetan Sword Ridge is on the edge of the no-man's land, but this edge is still four or five thousand miles away from the secular world.

In the usual concept, going deep for 30,000 miles belongs to the marginal area, and there are no particularly powerful demon beasts.

The territory in the east of the Tibetan Sword Ridge, although it is also a no-man's land, but there is the Tibetan Sword Ridge blocking it, and it is difficult for those demon beasts to run over elsewhere after they are killed, and it is relatively much safer.

Although there was no road to build in Zangjian Ridge, the arrival of a large number of prospectors caused them to build a road from the secular world to the Pioneer City on that side.

Because they were self-organized and had limited capabilities, the quality of the roads was not very high, but there was no problem with running carriages.

This also makes some ordinary people migrate over at a much faster rate.

In those places, there are also some places suitable for human habitation, and without major environmental transformation, the possibility of forming a city is very small, but it can form a small town.

The three cities developed by Zangjian Ridge were already full of people in only two years.

Those who came later could only find suitable places to live outside the city.

The construction of the three cities provided a better living environment for those outsiders, and the promulgation of the prospecting regulations attracted a large number of outsiders to enter, and also brought many ordinary people into this area.

The population soon grew.

Not a little bit of an increase, but an exponential increase.

Three years after the construction of the city, according to the results of a survey, the total population of the Tibetan Jianling area has reached more than 5 million.

However, most of them belong to ordinary people.

The family behind the members of the Creekside Society also shifted the center of their own family to this side.

With their own people as backers here, it is obviously more convenient for them to develop here than others.

And Cui Jing's family, in the second five years, has already moved over.

Cui Jing, as the captain of the Hidden Sword Ridge Demon Hunting Team, can be said to be Fang Hao's personal captain, and as his clansman, he can certainly get better arrangements when he comes here.

Sun Ying naturally came.

Although Sun Ying's cultivation qualifications are not very strong, with sufficient resource support, over the years, the cultivation realm has been improved to the innate ninefold realm.

And Cui Jing finally entered the transcendent dual realm.

The demon hunting team he led still numbered two hundred.

In the past ten years, more than 20 members have been sacrificed, and more than a dozen have chosen to leave, but the amount of 200 people is always full, and some people will make up for it when they leave.

This kind of position is what many people aspire to.

Because the cultivation resources they obtained were basically the best in the Hidden Sword Ridge.

Of course, they are also the ones who take the greatest risks.

I have to go out to hunt demon beasts in two months, not to hunt some low-level demon beasts in a safe place, but to expand the scope of hunting to the west again and again.

The further you go inside, the higher the level of the monster, the greater the risk.

But the rewards for everyone are high.

Now this team of two hundred people, the cultivation realm is all in the Innate Ninefold Realm, and there are even a few team members who have performed very well in it to become elite disciples, and they have the possibility of entering the transcendent realm.

This is the most powerful team in the Hidden Sword Ridge, and they already have a wealth of abilities to cooperate with the Transcendent Realm martial artists to fight with fifth-level demon beasts and even sixth-level demon beasts.

After they continued to go deeper into the western no-man's land again and again, the road leading to the pioneer city had also extended more than 10,000 miles to the west.

This also means that the area of more than 10,000 miles west of the Tibetan Sword Ridge belongs to the territory controlled by humans.

This area had already surpassed the area where the Holy Light Academy had been transferred to Fang Hao.

But that also belongs to the ownerless area, Fang Hao can preemptively occupy this area, then it belongs to Fang Hao's own area.

The territory is gradually extending westward, and more and more mineral resources are being discovered by outsiders.

Some have chosen to develop those mineral resources on their own, and Zangjianling can make a 30% tax dividend.

More often than not, they chose to hand it over directly to Zangjianling, let Zangjianling develop it, and their own family enjoyed the profits peacefully.

The three cities had already been built, but now that the area had expanded so much and extended thousands of miles to the west, Fang Hao already had a new idea, preparing to build a few more cities along this road.

That brings us to the next five-year plan.

Based on the current population size, the next five-year plan will have more than 10 cities along the route.
