Chapter 2245: Chapter 2245 Early Preparation
Ye Liuyun led his thirty thousand army to pursuit the enemy. Suddenly he accelerated and cleaving a path between the retreating soldiers using chariots, forcing them to split into two directions.
Thus, they lost their capabilities to launch any attack.
At this moment, what awaiting them ahead were two one hundred thousand Devil Clan army, launching an all-out attack on them.
The central empire’s tired forces were even finding it difficult to move, much less fight back. Most of them just surrendered.
After the battle, Ye Liuyun also gave the two hundred thousand sets of equipment to the Devil Clan half-beasts. The twenty thousand Devil Clan half-beasts that were previously made to labor by Ye Liuyun became the main force in this army.
At the same time, Ye Liuyun also selected a few ten thousands of weaker Devil Clan and Devil Clan half-beasts to form a sizable logistical support army.
The remaining men were then regrouped by Ye Liuyun into a mining trope, dispatched to various places to mine for him.
The two hundred thousand half-beast army was tasked to wage war for Ye Liuyun, wrestling for Devil Crystal mineral veins with the central empire.
With all these, Ye Liuyun’s expansion in the south was swift. Coupled with the logistical team that he organized to craft equipments, Ye Liuyun quickly put together an army of a hundred thousand people for launching an attack against the central empire.
This army was only in charge for defending. With the cooperation of Ye Liuyun’s thirty thousand half-beast army, the numerous army tropes sent out by the Central Empire had been repelled. As a result, the Central Empire finally dared not to senf more men to their death.
The two hundred thousand half beast army sent out by Ye Liuyun had seized tens of the mineral veins and all were handed over to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun only kept half and distributed the rest to the army for them to upgrade their strengths.
With hundreds of thousands of soldiers mining for Ye Liuyun, he quickly accumulated enough resorces and decided it was time for him to leave.
However, he left a path for himself in case he might need to return for resources in the future.
He found some leaders among the Devil Clan half-beasts and Devil Clan, and taught them the method of divine soul power cultivation, which allowed them to gain divine soul power.
He then implanted the salving seals on them and gave them storage rings capable of holding more things, allowing them to store resources.
Before he left, he transferred the ruling position to them and allowed them to develop on their own in the future. The ballistaes and chariots were also left behind for them.
All these individuals who had been implanted with the slaving seals would not have internal strife in the future. Moreover, they were all scattered among various armies and would not be easily wiped out by the Central Dynasty.
After everything was arranged, Ye Liuyun returned to the Central Dynasty located in the God Realm through the teleportation black tower.
Upon returning, he did not announce his presence. He gave all the black gold ores to Ton Xin, Qiong Qi and other weapon-refining masters to craft equipments. He even left them with quite a bit of lumber.
The remaining lumbers were given to Accord Pavilion for sales.
Once the lumber went on the market, it had attracted a lot of weapon-refining master and devil cultivators. Many big families also bought it for construction purposes.
Some families even used the lumber to build ferry boats, restarting the ferry business on the Endless Sea.
As a result, Ye Liuyun made a fortune.
However, he did not let out a single piece of news about the black gold ores.
The medicinal herbs given to him by the Devil Clan half-beast were assigned to Lin Luoyi and Lin Xiyao. They were tasked to research an elixir that could promote reproduction and to be distributed to the half-beast race. This was to ensure the development and sufficient offspring of the race before going to the foriegn race battlefield.
Qiong Qi soon crafted a type of black gold armor. This armor was fitted with a piece of gold glit at the arm which could morph into an alora crustal cannon. When needed, it could directly absorb the alora crystal energy to launch an attack when connected to an interspatial ring.
This not only reduced the gold glit usage but also gave offensive ability to the armor. Even when the martial cultivator’s genuine energy was depleted, they could still retain their offensive capability.
Qiong Qi also made some improvements on the chariots. With just six people, they could ensure that the chariot could conduct all-around attacks and defenses.
Qiong Qi modified the ballista into a smaller, rapid-firing alora crystal cannon which was more powerful than the alora crystal cannon on the armor and could be used for sieging the cities. The martial practitioners did not longer to carry arrows and could directly use the alora crystal from the interspatial ring as energy.
With these equipment, the power of Ye Liuyun’s army would surely be elevated to the next level.
However, due to the limited amount of gold glitter available, Qiong Qi could only craft a little over fifty thousnad of these armors. It was only enough for the Blade Legion, half-beast troop and martial practitioners who were ninth-tier and above to use.
For the remaining armors, they could only be standard styles. But even the standard black gold armor had a defense comparable to an immortal level treasures.
Following this was for the martial practitioners who were ninth-realm and above to enter the Headquarter of the Alliance of Goddessess in turn secretly to discreetly familiarise themselves with the new equipment. They could even propose to have their weapons to be crafted using black gold ores.
Martial practitioners who were below the ninth-relam had no such privilege and could not have any access to these equipments.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun aggregated all soldiers from the seventh and eighth realms. They were divided into two troops to undergo uniform training and cultivation. They were all given appropriate resorces in preparation for the foreign race battles.
All the spirit crystals, devil crystals along with elixirs, weapons, equipments and etc were all being prepared in advance.
He then began to instruct Xia Tianqiong and others to gather secret realm information from all over the places. He planned to claim the secret realms under the dynasty and unite a group of external martial practitioners to explore these scret realms.
Half of the resources gleaned would be given to the Central Dynasty while the other half would be counted as the martial practitioners’ earnings. This was to stockpile more resources for the Central Dynasty.
For a few precarious secret realms, Ye Liuyun personally stepped in to gather resources within the realm.
In one of the secret realms, Ye Liuyun found himself trapped for three months. However, he managed to refine the Power of Origin within the secret realm and relocated the secret realm nto his spatial world upon exiting.
Originally, the secret realm had turbulent spatial forces, with multiple layers of voids mixing together. It was like a labyrinth with overlapping layers of void, which was very conducive for Ye Liuyun’s spatial force cultivation.
Though Ye Liuyun found the Power of Origin of the secret realm, he had yet to see its full scope.
Thus, he chose to refine the power first and brought back as a space for him to cultivate his spatial force.
Ye Liuyun managed to reach level nine in his spatial force by using this secret realm.
Once his spatital force had reached the ninth-tier, it was a piece of cake for him to explore the secret realm.
Ultimately, he found out a perculiar location within the secret realm.
It seemed to have a fluctuation of void which seemingly looked like a kind of void. However, it was pitch dark within which was completely different than those nine tiers of voids he had encountered.
When the Book Demon saw it, it felt the secret realm was worth something and said. "This is a virtual stargazing environment. The person who created this secret realm must had a powerful spatial force which enabled him to create a piece of starry sky here."
