Chapter 1165: Seizing the Resources

Li Yuanlang was busy on one hand, and on the other he complained about the Underworld God's stinginess.

"A dignified Underworld God, yet he can't get along with a child—truly unbecoming! But that fellow is famously vengeful. If you get the chance, just eliminate him!"

"Uh…" Ye Liuyun gave no reply, but thought inwardly, "It's already good that I wasn't wiped out by him!"

"Could Master recognize the Underworld God?" Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of this and asked at once.

"Of course! The Underworld exists not only in your world; the Divine Realm also has an entrance to the Underworld. He's just not very powerful in the Divine Realm. Moreover, I heard this Underworld God is gravely wounded, his realm regressed severely. Perhaps you truly have a chance to eliminate him!"

Li Yuanlang told Ye Liuyun.

"Hope, huh!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

At that moment, Li Yuanlang's Divine Sense was fading more and more.

"That's it then!" Li Yuanlang also halted.

"My thread of Divine Sense is about to be exhausted. Take care of yourself; see you again in the Divine Realm!" Li Yuanlang bid farewell to Ye Liuyun.

He was quite satisfied with this newly taken disciple, who was also his only disciple.

"Master, take care!" Ye Liuyun also bowed and said goodbye to Li Yuanlang.

After Li Yuanlang's Divine Sense dissipated, Ye Liuyun sighed, feeling the time spent with his master was too short. He hadn't had time to ask many questions.

However, he checked the Underworld God seal on his Soul and saw that it had indeed vanished a lot.

That death symbol was no longer whole.

Far in the Nether Hell's Underworld, the Underworld God was cultivating when he was suddenly backfired, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The wound that was about to heal was further aggravated. His cultivation was forced to halt.

"Who dares to erase my Underworld God seal?"

He let out a roar, and the entire Underworld trembled. The Yin Souls within shivered in terror.

He was first burning with anger, but then quickly calmed down.

"It hasn't been completely erased! Who exactly possesses the ability to remove part of the seal I planted?"

The Underworld God thought that people of Zhongyang Dalu definitely lacked the ability to erase the Soul seal he had set.

Zhongyang Dalu has only a handful of Nine-Stage Celestial Masters; for Ye Liuyun to ally with them would not be easy. He likely doesn't possess that ability now either.

"Could someone have descended from the Divine Realm?"

The Underworld God's first thought was Li Yuanlang, because Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness contains the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

But he immediately shook his head, rejecting that notion.

"If it were Li Yuanlang, he could erase the entire Underworld God seal, leaving no part behind."

At that point, he stopped speculating.

"Hurry to recover your wounds! In the current situation, I don't have much time left!"

The Underworld God's eyes stared vacantly into the distance for a while, then he closed them and resumed focused cultivation.

Ye Liuyun didn't know that the Underworld God's injuries had worsened.

He only knew that the Underworld God now found it hard to pinpoint his exact location; he was much safer than before.

Moreover, he hadn't felt the Underworld God seal activate during this period, indicating that the Underworld God couldn't spare time to confront him personally; he still had at least some time to improve his strength.

Ye Liuyun came to his senses and found Zhu Youfu speaking to him.

"…Why is it placed here?"

The two of them now stood before the stone statue, looking up at it.

What happened in the Soul world occurred in an instant.

Zhu Youfu asked Ye Liuyun who the statue depicted and why it was placed here.

Ye Liuyun couldn't explain, so he pretended, like him, to know nothing.

He merely scanned the statue with his Golden Pupil and located the entrance to the passage.

Ye Liuyun couldn't fetch it himself; he summoned his clone and Fire Dance, having the clone don the Invisibility Cloak to retrieve the resources.

Such matters are better dealt with early, lest long nights bring many complications.

Ye Liuyun himself took Zhu Youfu, under the pretense of scouting terrain and setting up a Formation Plate on the city wall, to lead Zhu Youfu away.

"There's no inheritance here either?"

Zhu Youfu waited for a long while but no inheritance appeared. He reluctantly followed Ye Liuyun away.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind sharing treasure, but those items were left to him by his own master, so he naturally couldn't give them to Zhu Youfu.

Thus he pretended to know nothing, followed Zhu Youfu, and feigned a few complaints.

Outside, Emperor Xia had been watching Ye Liuyun's actions. From the moment Ye Liuyun saw the statue until he left with Zhu Youfu, Emperor Xia continuously observed him.

He even noticed the moment Ye Liuyun spaced out.

"We can roughly confirm that this Ye Liuyun is connected to the War God!" Emperor Xia transmitted to the Imperial Family's ancestor.

"Then we should try to get along with him! Such a person is not one we can offend! As long as he doesn't overstep, we'll turn a blind eye. Besides, he has no interest in power; once his realm advances, he'll leave this place."

The Imperial Family's ancestor transmitted instructions to him.

"Understood!" Emperor Xia replied, then continued to watch the other princes.

No one noticed that at this moment, a neat cut appeared at the statue's base.

The cut was made by Ye Liuyun's clone, cloaked in the Invisibility Cloak, using the Demon Slaying Sword.

The incision was small, and the cut surface was extremely smooth.

The clone didn't damage the removed piece; instead, it collected the cut stone into a Storage Ring, then followed the passage straight into a stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber was a round table bearing one large and two small boxes.

Each of the two small boxes contained a red pill and a golden pill.

Ye Liuyun, who had some knowledge of pills, could tell that one reinforced bloodline and the other reinforced the Physical Body.

He only knew that these pills were of a higher grade than any pills he knew, but he couldn't tell what grade they were.

In another large box, there was a white energy ball.

Just by sensing it, Ye Liuyun knew the energy inside was purer than the Primordial Power he had obtained before.

"These things are probably resources from the Divine Realm!"

He felt that these things could absolutely not be found in Zhongyang Dalu.

Ye Liuyun's clone immediately collected everything. After looking around, he found nothing else and immediately turned and left.

After going out, he put the cut stone back, then returned to Ye Liuyun's side, was collected by Ye Liuyun into the Space World, handed over the resources to Ye Liuyun, and then reappeared as a Demon Cultivator.
