Chapter 2162: Chapter 2162 Restore Strength Before Combat.
Upon the arrival of the final batch of Soul Cultivators, Ye Liuyun promptly gathered most of them into his Spatial World.
He left ten of them to guard the Conveyor Formation in the City Lord’s Manor. Their realms were merely at the seventh or eighth level. Their duty was to stand guard while Ye Liuyun transported everyone back to the Eastcould Dynasty.
After their transportation, the remaining guards would stay behind to alter the Formation so that their traces of being there would be erased. When that was done, they would rush to the Eastcloud Dynasty through the Foreign Race Battlefield via the Conveyor Formation.
This was the final stage of Ye Liuyun’s journey to the central region. Upon his return to the Eastcloud Dynasty, Ye Liuyun managed to bring with him more than six hundred ninth-level martial practitioners and over two hundred Soul Cultivators whose realms were at the eighth or ninth level.
All of them were integrated into Ye Liuyun’s Dark Legion, under Jing Yong’s command. Each of them would put on a treasure that concealed their realm. They would also cultivate in secret within the Eastcloud Dynasty.
Ye Liuyun devoted two secret realms to the experts so no one would be able to detect them. One realm was dedicated specifically for Soul Cultivators, and the other for Martial Practitioners. Allowing them to cultivate undisturbed.
Ye Liuyun settled down temporally and oversaw the movement of the Martial Practitioners through the Conveyor Formation.
At the same time, he and his clone focused on cultivation to elevate their realm.
Now that his Divine Soul power was powerful enough, he focused on advancing his realm.
The Zhongxing Dynasty knew something had happened to Xu Mulin. When the men they dispatched arrived at the place. They found the empty City Lord Manor without Xu Mulin and his men in sight
They sent their men to search everywhere while dispatching troops to guard the Deliverance Hill.
They also suspected the possibility it was the doing of the Fairy Clan and Eastcloud Dynasty. Hence, they sent some low-level Martial Practitioners to the eastern region through the foreign race battlefield to investigate. However, they couldn’t find any trace or clue about what took place.
Ye Liuyun also didn’t leave the palace for several months, merely spending his free time practising his battling skill in his Spatial World using the Devil Charm Mirror. He continued to cultivate in advance his realm to the intermediate of the seventh level before he finally stopped.
Only then he had the time to ask about the current progress of the Eastcloud Dynasty from the women’s reporting.
"The business is operating smoothly, and all supply channels for resources are stable. The Fairy Clan recently purchased a large number of living neccessities, clearly stockpiling in case we cut off their supplies again," Xuan Yuanling made her report of the business area.
"The foreign race Battlefield is still ongoing. The soldiers who went into battle have suffered more than half their losses. However, those who survived have greatly increased their power. Tiandao has led a group of soldiers back. They are currently resting and recuperating. Yu Xiaofeng has dispatched another group of soldiers to train."
"The income of the Commerce Association and various resources has now surpassed our military spending. We have an abundance of resource supplies, and the treasury department has started accruing a surplus. The strength of our army is also increasing steadily."
"He Liantiayuan had initiated an attack on the Northern region’s Regalty. I estimate that they will soon conquer the Northern region." Wu Qingcheng updated Ye Liuyun on the situation in various areas.
After establishing a strong foothold in the Eastern Region, the Eastern Cloud Dynasty was making steady growth in all areas. There was a strong interdependence link between them and some other major powers.
During this time, the Fairy Clan deliberately avoided any friction with Ye Liuyun. There had been no conflict within their borders and even the rehabilitation of bandits was almost complete.
At this time, peace and prosperity prevailed throughout the Eastern Region. The residents work happily and live in peace.
As for He Liancheng Tianyuan’s dominance, Ye Liuyun knew it would still take time to achieve his goal. Once he conquered the North region, he would likely start training his soldiers and send them to the foreign race Battlefield.
The current strength gap between him and the Zhongxing Dynasty was huge. He knew he needed to focus all his efforts on enhancing his power.
This information didn’t contain any significant news. Everything was within Ye Liuyun’s expectations.
Only the intelligence obtained by Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang caught his attention.
"The spies of the Zhongxing Dynasty have been continuously eyeing the movements of the palace and the Fairy Clan without leaving."
"The Scarlet Cardinal House recently targeted the Fairy Clan, assassinating many experts of the clan. I worry they might think that we are the ones who instigated this and blame it on us."
Ye Liuyun was puzzled. What kind of grievance did Yao Hong carry against the Fairy Clan that made her target them constantly?
"What does Yao Hong want to do? Had the Fairy Clan ever offended the Scarlet Cardinal House?" Ye Liuyun asked Feng Hongxiu.
She shook her head and replied. "The Master has always been secretly targeting the Fairy Clan."
Ye Liuyun considered for a while but did not take any action. He only asked Xia Tianqiong to continue monitoring the spies from the Zhongxing Dynasty and the movements of the Scarlet Cardinal House toward the Fairy Clan.
"The Scarlet Cardinal House was extremely helpful when we needed it the most! Regardless of Yao Hong’s intentions, as long as she did not purposefully set us up, it’s fine."
"The Fairy Clan has their investigative capabilities. Even if they insist on misunderstanding us, that’s not a problem. We are bound to have a confrontation with them sooner or later anyway. Right now, we should focus on restoring our strength for upcoming battles."
"If the Scarlet Cardinal House takes action against them at this time, it would cause trouble for the Fairy Clan and do us no harm. Let us observe the situation for the time being."
After he gave instructions on the dynasty’s affairs, Ye Liuyun urged the women to not neglect their cultivation and returned to the Xuankong Stone to continue cultivating the Soul-Crushing Tactic he learnt from the Soul King.
In other aspects of power, he alternated his cultivation with his clone every day. He ensured simultaneous progress in all aspects. Spatial Force and sword intention were his compulsory daily training.
Book Demon was very satisfied seeing Ye Liuyun able to concentrate on his cultivation and his spiritual power improving rapidly. He even gave him many pointers, helping him quickly improve his mastery of the Soul Shocking Wave technique.
Using only his divine senses, Ye Liuyun could eradicate a martial practitioner of the sixth realm. Those in the range of seventh to eighth realms would also be greatly impacted.
Ye Liuyun’s Spatial Force had touched the ninth layer of the void barrier. Far surpassing his mid-seventh realm.
He had previously fallen behind in his cultivation of sword intention. Now, Ye Tiandao’s sword intention could already rival his. So Ye Liuyun often sparred with Ye Tiandao in the Spatial World to train his sword intention.
Although Ye Liuyun improved at a faster rate than most, he still felt that his progress was insufficient, as though he was at a bottleneck and unable to accelerate further.
"Perhaps it’s because your power of bloodline hasn’t improved in a long time," Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun. "As a result, your other cultivation cannot accelerate."
"I know of a type of tree called the Divine Blood Tree. Its fruit can enhance your Bloodline Power. But I am not sure if you can find it here!"
"Even if you can’t find such a natural resource, you can try using Elixirs and high-level beast blood to increase your Bloodline Power and see if it would speed up your cultivation."
Book Demon’s few sentences reminded Ye Liuyun. He immediately asked Xuan Yuanling to help him acquire the fruit of the Divine Blood Tree and enlisted Lin Luoyi and Jin Qingsong to ask about it in the Alchemist Alliance. He also personally visited the Foreign Race Battlefield to enquire Li Hongtao about it.
Li Hongtao had heard about the effects of the Divine Blood Fruits but had never seen one. Even the God Alliance didn’t have them.
So, both the Alliance of All Gods and the Celestial Cloud Emporium released a high-priced bid to purchase Divine Blood Fruits.
