Chapter 1127: Heaven and Earth Creation

Even the best method of masking one's aura is of little use against overwhelming strength.

It was also thanks to Xuanwu's caution that they were not slain by those high-level monsters.

So everyone coveted this Secret Realm.

If they possessed such a Secret Realm, they could use it for real‑combat training. Moreover, the high‑level monsters inside never cross realms to wander, so as long as they don't act recklessly, they won't encounter danger.

Ye Liuyun also knew that the Feng Clan would certainly not put this Secret Realm up for trade, so he could only have Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang keep an eye on it.

Yuan Datou and Ye Liuyun had both just recently broken through a realm and had not advanced again.

But Ye Liuyun, after these days of cultivation, also raised his realm to the mid‑stage of Sixfold Creation.

His Primordial Spirit Secret Technique had been cultivated to a level where he could control Martial Cultivators of Sixfold Creation to explode outright. Even against late‑stage Martial Cultivators of the Zao Hua Realm, it would cause their True Essence to flow poorly, hampering their performance.

If his bloodline suppression is added, even against opponents of the Ninth Layer of Zao Hua, at least thirty percent of their power would fail to manifest.

His fourth move of the Qiankun Palm, "Grasping Yin and Yang," finally reached a perfect state.

"It turns out it's a matter of Heaven and Earth Power!"

Ye Liuyun's "Grasping Yin and Yang" palm had long achieved Great Achievement.

But he always felt that when using it, its power hadn't reached the peak; it felt somewhat strenuous, and it consumed more of his Mysterious Origin.

Until he recently cultivated Heaven and Earth Power for a while, gaining an increase, he finally realized he had fully refined this palm.

Now, this palm, Ye Liuyun can strike very casually; even if he delivers thirty to forty consecutive palms, he won't deplete his True Essence.

"Finally I can cultivate the next palm, Heaven and Earth Creation!"

Ye Liuyun finally cleared a hurdle and let out a sigh of relief.

"This Qiankun Palm is far harder to train than I imagined; the conditions are too harsh. I've already passed half of the Zao Hua Realm, and only now began cultivating the Heaven and Earth Creation technique."

In fact, if Ye Liuyun had cultivated it earlier, he could have forged it.

However, the palm he would have forged would not only activate slowly, but its power would be far weaker than his current cultivation.

Dealing with opponents of the same realm poses no problem, but for Ye Liuyun, who often fights across realms, it is clearly insufficient.

So he never rushed to cultivate a new technique.

Now that the opportunity has naturally arrived, he no longer needs to restrain himself; he immediately began cultivating a new technique, which also serves to boost his attack skills before assisting the Fourth Prince in battle.

The strong opponents he recently faced were mostly Earth Sovereign rank; aside from their Divine Soul Power, Spatial Power, and the toughness of their Physical Bodies, his own strength was hardly needed.

After all, Earth Sovereign rank strongmen and Martial Cultivators of the Zao Hua Realm differ too greatly in True Essence Quality to be comparable.

Even though Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin has solidified, it still falls a tier short, only comparable to Martial Cultivators of the Ninth Layer of Zao Hua.

When Ye Liuyun first began cultivation, he found that thanks to his enhanced Heaven and Earth Power, further cultivating this Heaven and Earth Creation reached the beginner level with great ease.

What he must do next is to compress the two kinds of Fire Flame Power and Buddha Demon Power, while continuing to boost his Heaven and Earth Power.

If he doesn't increase his Heaven and Earth Power, this technique would allow him to deliver only a dozen or so palms before his Mysterious Origin is exhausted.

Ye Liuyun even specifically sought out several ferocious beasts of the Sixth to Ninth Layers of Zao Hua to practice with.

As a result, ferocious beasts of the Sixth and Seventh Layers of the Zao Hua Realm, once Ye Liuyun struck, felt as if they were immersed in the Heaven and Earth formed by his palm, utterly powerless to retaliate.

Previously, Ye Liuyun's Grasping Yin and Yang could be evaded. But now his Heaven and Earth Creation seems to summon the entire Heaven and Earth's power, leaving no room to dodge.

Ye Liuyun's Heaven and Earth Creation technique, which contains Buddha Demon Power, Fire Flame Power, and Heaven and Earth Power, is simply unbearable for ferocious beasts of the Sixth and Seventh Layers of Zao Hua.

Before his palm even landed, they already wailed in agony, needing no strike at all.

Against ferocious beasts of the Eighth and Ninth Layers, though they possess some resistance, they still cannot withstand a single palm from Ye Liuyun.

But when he tried it on Earth Sovereign First Rank beasts, the effect was negligible; all the beasts could block his palm.

"The gap between the Earth Sovereign realm and the Ninth Layer of Zao Hua is indeed huge!"

Ye Liuyun's previous cross‑realm combat strength got stuck upon reaching the Sovereign realm.

At least with his Sixfold Creation realm, he cannot fight Earth Sovereign First Rank.

"I wonder whether, after reaching the late stage of the Zao Hua Realm, I can battle Earth Sovereign First Rank Martial Cultivators."

In the time that followed, Ye Liuyun kept seizing every moment to cultivate, compressing and refining Mysterious Origin, Fire Flame Power, and Buddha Demon Power, while also training his Heaven and Earth Power.

He would hardly leave the Xuan Kong Shi for anything unnecessary. His clone also continued intensive cultivation in Moyu Yi Cheng.

Wu Qingcheng and Su Miaoyin have been continuously assisting him with various arrangements.

These days the Feng Clan has been trying to retain the Feng Yunfei family, but they have all been politely declined.

Feng Clan chief Feng Yunxiao even personally approached Ye Liuyun for a conversation.

"Do you look down on my uncle? Or do you think there's something wrong with the Feng Clan?"

Feng Yunxiao deliberately pressed Ye Liuyun with words.

Ye Liuyun, however, had already prepared his reply.

"Of course not! Our whole family lives very comfortably. However, the business over at Yi Cheng, I still need to go back and handle… "

"…and moreover, if I stay with the Feng Clan long‑term, Cheng Clan and the Imperial Family will suspect that our two families have merged. Once such rumors spread, it would give them an excuse to unite against us!"

Ye Liuyun voiced the insights he had gained from his conversation with Emperor Xia.

Feng Yunxiao thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "You are indeed thorough! Right now, our Feng Clan truly should not become too powerful. Otherwise, it would indeed give the Imperial Family and Cheng Clan a pretext to unite."

"As long as we remain weak before the Imperial Family, Cheng Clan will forever shield us."

"Indeed! Uncle certainly thought it through!" Ye Liuyun echoed.

"Haha! It's not me who thought it through; you clearly planned it all along!"

At this point, Feng Yunxiao no longer blocked Ye Liuyun.

Then Grand Elder and Second Elder rushed over to discuss with Ye Liuyun the names of the alchemy and artifact organizations.

"Should these two organizations be formed as a Sect? Or as a guild?" Grand Elder asked.

"I intend to shape them into an alliance, uniting all Alchemists and Artifact Masters," Ye Liuyun explained.

"Then we'll need to invite some industry masters to preside! Starting from scratch, we currently lack reputation, so it may not be that easy!" Grand Elder hesitated.
