Chapter 2271: Chapter 2271 Excorcism Weapon
After Ye Liuyun’s series of maneuvers, both the wicth and several elders of the Devil Clam unanimously decided that as long as Ye Liuyun remained undefeated, they would steadfastly maintain a policy of peaceful coexistence with the human race.
This decision was so firm that it no longer required discussion. It had became the fundamental survival strategy and consensus of the entire devil clan.
Ye Liuyun also consulted Li Yuanlang, Qiong Qi and the weapon-refining masters about the quantity of weapons needed. He then calculated the required amount of exorcism stones and instructed Yuan Hao to extract three times that amount.
Subsequently, Qiong Qi and other array formation masters were tasked with completely destroying the passageway before withdrawing the entire army.
Next, preparations were made to replace the weapons of the reserve forces led by Yu Xiaofeng. During these months, Ye Liuyun and his avatars took turns advancing their cultivation levels, with a particular focus on enhancing their control over the forces of nature and their mastery of spiritual techniques.
The weapon-refining master then began forging weapons infused with exorcism stones.
Naturally, the first to be equipped were Ye Liuyun’s Blade Legion, the BEastman legion, and Yuan Hao’s Dark Legion. Only then the weapons were provided to the martial artists on the battlefield against the foreign races.
Most of these seasoned experts had their own trusted weapons, many of which needed to be reforged with exorcism stones, making the process slower. It was not until several months later that the weapon upgrades were gradually completed.
Next, preparations were made to replace the weapons of the reserve forces led by Yu Xiaofeng.
During these months, Ye Liuyun and his clone took turns advancing their cultivation levels. They particularly focused on enhancing their control over the power of heaven and earth and Elemental Spirit Secret Skill.
With the Central Dynasty being stable, Ye Liuyun allowed his divine soul to roam freely across the lands, sensing the energies of the world.
He suddenly realized that the world felt much clearer than during his previous cultivation sessions. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth also seemed to have intensified.
When he sought advice from Li Yuanlang, the latter explained. "Your ability to sense this indicates that your divine soul power has reached a significant level. It’s at least on par with those experts who have transcended the omnipotent level.
Indeed, the energies of the world have been purified. This is largely due to the eradication of the foreign races. Their malevolent aura had a considerable impact on the world, though those of lower cultivation levels couldn’t perceive it.
Now, this environment is ideal for martial practitioners to advance their cultivation. Practicing under these conditions greatly increases the likelihood of breakthroughs!
Especially when you cultivate the power of heaven and earth, the effects will be even more remarkable!"
Ye Liuyun finally understood the profound impact that the foreign races had on the air and spiritual energy between the heaven and earth.
As a result, Ye Liuyun often immersed himself in soul-wandering for one or two months at a time, completely absorbed in the experience.
The results of his cultivation were evident. Previously, his soul was too weak and he could only sense but not react. Now, he could directly harness the power of the heaven and earth with his divine soul, moving smaller objects with ease.
Though this progress might seem modest in his divine soul state. Once he returned to his normal form, the power of heaven and earth amplified exponentially during his attacks.
With a single casual palm strike, he could now match the strength of a mid-stage ninth tier martial cultivator without even using his advance energy.
It was only then that Ye Liuyun truly realized the might of the power of heaven and earth.
By mastering it, he could conserve a significant amount of advance energy in future battles.
Moreover, when he combined his attacks with advance energy and unleashed the Buddhist-Devil power within his bloodline, he could even contend with late-stage ninth tier martial cultivators.
These advancements filled Ye Liuyun with joy and deepened his understanding that the potential of a martial cultivator’s strength was truly limitless. Even at the mid stage of eighth tier, he was already far superior to others.
He also came to understand why Li Yuanlang and others were in no rush to break through to the omnipotent level. It was because they felt their overall strength was still insufficient.
If they ascended to the omnipotent level too early, their other abilities would essentially stagnate, leaving them as weaklings in that realm, easily crushed by opponents.
Li Yuanlang’s mastery of the power of heaven and earth was far superior to Ye Liuyun’s. This meant that even when facing omnipotent level experts, they would not be completely defenseless.
This was what Li Yuanlang had previously advised Ye Liuyun. It was to build a solid foundation, as the realm itself was not the most important factor.
Thus, Ye Liuyun quickly shifted his focus, pausing his clone’s advance energy cultivation and instead began enhancing his Elemental Spirit Secret Skill and Buddhist-Devil power.
"The Elemental Spirit Secret Skill requires a foundation of spiritual energy. I believe that venturing into the mortal realm where the Devil Clan is or the world of the Devil Clan Beastman will allow you to better explore the potential of this technique.
Moreover, the transformation between Buddhist-Devil power will be more effective there." Li Yuanlang advised Ye Liuyun.
Thus, Ye Liuyun sent his clone to Devil Clan Beastamn where he could also train the Beastman troop alongside.
As expected, the spiritual energy there was exceedingly sparse, making it difficult for Ye Liuyun to even unleash a barrage of spiritual arrow rain. However, this challenge significantly enhanced his ability to control spiritual energy.
Starting with the ability to able to condense just a single arrow, he eventually progressed to conjuring ten, marking a substantial leap in his mastery of the Elemental Spirit Secret Skill.
This breakthrough made Ye Liuyun acutely aware of how far he still had to go and how much more he needed to cultivate.
Consequently, his plans to join the alliance were repeatedly postponed.
Meanwhile, Lei Ming, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and others also hoped that Ye Liuyun would delay his departure.
They were all diligently training, eager to accompany him and not be left behind. They spared no resources in their quest to enhance their strength.
They gradually delegated their business responsibilities to subordinates as they onlny focused on their cultivation.
Their cultivation levels were rapidly catching up.
This had prompt Ye Liuyun to continually remind them to solidify their foundations, ensuring that their physical and divine soul cultivation kept pace with their advancing realms.
Additionally, Ye Liuyun’s clone told Qiong Qi to forge twenty thousand weapons embedded with exrocism stones for the Devil Clan beastmen. These weapons proved highly effective on the battlefield. Any Devil Clan injured by them found their wounds irreparable, leading to death.
Thus, these weapons were called as lethal weapons among the Devil Clan. Most of the Devil Clan soldiers would surrender the moment they saw these weapons.
Most of the Devil Clan beastmen soldiers had now reached the late genuine stage or early incarnation stage. This had significantly boosted their combat prowess and making them nearly invincible on the battlefield.
However, Ye Liuyun only allowed them to undergo a brief trial before promptly recalling them as he had no intention of disrupting the world’s delicate balance of power.
He christened these twenty thousand Devil Clan beastman as the Titanic Beastman Legion. a name meant to distinguish them from the previous half-beast forces.
Yet, when compared to the original beastman army, the Titanic Beastman Legion still fell significantly short in terms of strength. It would take considerable time before they could stand toe-to-toe with the foreign races.
Ye Liuyun was in no rush. After all, this was merely a reserve force and he was content to nurture it gradually.
Six months later, while Ye Liuyun’s cultivation level had not seen a dramatic breakthrough, his overall prowess had nonetheless taken a substantial leap forward.
