Chapter 2319: Chapter 2319 Soaring Strength
Wu Qingcheng laughed and said, “You clever one! We were indeed overly worried! Ye Liuyun just told us that he’s perfectly fine and even has you to thank!”
"Really?" Ye Ling smiled upon hearing this.
"Go rest for a while. Making elixirs is tiring enough, and you’ve been so anxious for two days. Your face looks all worn out!” Liang Xue said with concern.
"No, I’ll stay here and wait for Ye Liuyun to wake up!" Ye Ling insisted.
Wu Qingcheng also tried to persuade her, "You look so exhausted. When Ye Liuyun wakes up, he’ll be heartbroken to see you like this. Why don’t you go back? Get some sleep, and come back refreshed to greet him."
"Hm..." Ye Ling tilted her head, thought for a moment, and finally agreed, "Alright, I’ll sleep first and then come back!"
She then ran out and lay down on a pile of Spirit Crystals, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
She had been so utterly exhausted over the past few days. Before long, the pile of Alora Crystals beneath her had noticeably diminished. The energy was quietly drawn into her body while she slept.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun was busy compressing and refining his advance energy.
Although the elixir was still releasing energy, it had softened considerably. However, the energy was still steadily pushing his cultivation level higher.
Fortunately, after widening his virtuoso and meridians, the circulation speed of his advance energy within his body had increased several times.
So, he was desperately working to manage the advance energy, constantly compressing it to avoid accidentally breaking through to the mid-stage of the ninth level.
Leaping two sub-stages within the ninth level would be nothing short of terrifying. Moreover, Ye Liuyun was concerned that advancing too quickly might not give his energy sufficient time to compress thoroughly. This, in turn, could hinder his cultivation potential in the future.
Three days later, the energy from Ye Ling’s elixir was finally exhausted. Ye Liuyun and his clone were supposed to start training separately, but he couldn’t afford to move just yet.
His body was still filled with advance energy, and he needed to suppress it forcefully to avoid breaking through to the mid-stage of the ninth level.
He feared that even the slightest movement might cause his advance energy to spiral out of control, triggering another unintended breakthrough.
If this were anyone else, they might have allowed the breakthrough to happen naturally, but only someone like Ye Liuyun would relentlessly suppress his cultivation.
Ye Ling visited him several times a day. Seeing that he was still in his meditative state, she would go out to help guide the merging of the Spatial World instead.
She deliberately weakened a portion of the Sirius Realm’s Power of Origin. Her intention was to reduce its strength so that it could more easily merge with the original world’s Power of Origin. This adjustment would also accelerate the fusion process.
After over ten more days inside the Xuankong Stone, Ye Liuyun finally stabilized his cultivation level.
The moment he stepped out of the Xuankong Stone, he immediately summoned the Devil Vine. Joining forces with his clone, he engaged in an intense battle against it. Only after exhausting all of his current advance energy was he finally able to fully suppress his cultivation level.
The battle was quite satisfying, and Ye Liuyun was able to experience the power of the ninth level firsthand.
His ninth-level power wasn’t any weaker than the late-stage abilities of an ordinary martial practitioner, so despite being at a disadvantage, he had fared much better this time.
Even with the power of heaven and earth and Spatial Force, he hadn’t been defeated too badly.
After expending all his advance energy, he hugged Ye Ling and announced to everyone that she was now a Grand Alchemist, expressing his gratitude for her contribution.
Ye Ling beamed with pride and began showing off, even declaring that anyone who needed elixirs in the future could come to her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately offered Ye Ling some advice. He reminded her to be mindful of the dosage when concocting elixirs for others in the future, as improper quantities could easily lead to trouble.
He also sent a message to everyone, instructing them to inquire about the materials and dosages when using elixirs made by Ye Ling.
Everyone secretly chuckled, knowing that Ye Liuyun had probably been exhausted by this entire ordeal.
Later, Ye Liuyun returned to the Xuankong Stone to replenish his advance energy, while also recharging the energy within the Storage Stone.
With the new Multipurpose Cauldron, he quickly refilled his energy reserves.
Meanwhile, his Spatial World had stabilized and completed the fusion process.
He could now sense that the power available to him from the Spatial World was much stronger than before, far beyond what he had previously been capable of.
This meant that the Spatial World, after gaining over 300,000 native inhabitants, could now enhance his ability to tap into its power.
However, Ye Ling told him that the self-recovery ability of the Spatial World was still weak. Hence, if he were to use its power in battle, he would need to replenish the energy afterward.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun would not easily consume this kind of power.
After completing his breakthrough, Ye Liuyun walked out of the cabin and approached Hyan Mutong to inquire about the progress of the warship.
Hyan Mutong reported to Ye Liuyun, "We have passed two small islands. One had a few humans with low cultivation, so there was no need for an alliance, and we left immediately.
The other island had no life forms, so we took its Power of Origin and brought it back."
He continued, "There is a larger island ahead called Star Island. We will arrive in two or three days. The timing of your exit from seclusion is perfect, and we haven’t missed it."
After speaking, he handed Ye Liuyun an interspatial ring containing the Power of Origin.
Ye Liuyun’s army was equipped with Multipurpose Cauldrons to convert energy. Whether they used Spirit Crystals or Power of Origin for cultivation, the result was the same after being converted by the Multipurpose Cauldron.
However, the Power of Origin was especially helpful to Ye Liuyun’s Spatial World. Thus, Hyan Mutong had kept it for him, allowing the soldiers to continue cultivating with Spirit Crystals.
Hyan Mutong’s handling of these matters greatly satisfied Ye Liuyun. As a reward, Ye Liuyun instructed Lan Xin to find many resources to reward the soldiers.
Ye Liuyun then gave the Power of Origin to Ye Ling, asking her to help integrate it into the Spatial World’s Power of Origin.
After that, Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Phantom Eyes to scout ahead.
What he saw shocked him: a beam of light shot straight into the island ahead.
"It’s a flying vessel! What incredible speed!"
After the beam of light rushed into the island and stopped, Ye Liuyun realized that it was a flying vessel.
The shape of the flying vessel was somewhat similar to Hyan Mutong’s warship.
From the vessel, three human martial practitioners descended. After they stored the vessel, one of them casually struck out with a palm.
The palm formed a massive imprint in the air, crashing towards the surrounding city.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t hear any sound. He could only see the dust erupting after the palm strike hit.
When the dust cleared, a giant handprint-shaped crater was clearly visible.
The citizens in the city immediately panicked. Some martial practitioners flew into the air. Suddenly, the soldiers guarding the city rushed out, surrounding them.
Though Ye Liuyun couldn’t hear the conversation, he saw the three powerful experts strike out in quick succession, effortlessly killing the martial practitioners that had flown out from the city.
