Chapter 162: Entering the Inner Gate

After the dean arranged Ye Liuyun's lodging, he told Ye Liuyun.

"Three days later the Inner Gate disciples will have a contest for a spot on Blood Thunder Peak. But I trust you; you won't be inferior to the other Sea Transformation First Realm disciples, so there should be no problem. Even if you can't win, securing a spot for you will be far easier than before."

"\"I can fight at Sea Transformation Fourth Realm. I've already tested it when I went to the Xuemo Sect! \" Ye Liuyun, to reassure the dean, still revealed some combat information about the Xuemo Sect.

"\"What? You hadn't even reached the Sea Transformation Realm yet, and you could already fight at Sea Transformation Fourth Realm? \" the dean asked in surprise.

"\"Yes! I dare not lie! \" Ye Liuyun replied.

"\"I'm not doubting you lied; I'm merely amazed by your strength! \" the dean said, patting his shoulder satisfactorily. "With your ability, I have nothing else to worry about."

"\"Focus on cultivation; you have three days left, and I won't disturb you further! \" the dean left, his steps noticeably lighter as he went.

Ye Liuyun possesses the power to fight at Sea Transformation Fourth Realm, so he has nothing to worry about!

After returning, Ye Liuyun first took a Bone‑cleansing Pill to purify his bloodline's power.

Then he began extracting the Five‑Element Spiritual Bodies for body‑refining and started the process. After a whole night of toil, his Immortal Overlord Body reached the eighth layer.

At this level, the Immortal Overlord Body, even without entering the furnace, is hardly harmed by ordinary attacks.

After resting for two hours, he resumed pill‑making. Having now entered the Sea Transformation Realm, he needed to prepare pills suitable for this stage—a Cross‑Essence Pill. The Condensing Essence Pill used in the True Essence Realm no longer had much effect.

His stock of ingredients was abundant; now it remained to see what grade of pill he could forge this time.

He took out the Jiangshan Cauldron and focused on refining the pill.

The final result was decent: a 20% Heaven Tier lower‑grade pill.

Ye Liuyun only refined three batches before stopping. He knew his pill‑crafting skill would keep improving, so during this period he never made too many pills at once.

To avoid later having to discard lower‑grade pills after his technique improves—wasting ingredients—he estimated these few batches would suffice until he emerged from the Blood Thunder Peak Secret Realm.

After finishing the pills, he decided to go out and be active, and also deliver some of the Condensing Essence Pills he had to Song Yi and Li Mengxi.

He left the Outer Gate without having greeted the two senior brothers and sisters.

Realizing this, he hurried straight to the Outer Gate.

Just as he reached the Inner Gate entrance, he saw two beautiful women walking in from outside.

He walked over and greeted, "Qi Tianyue, Nan Xin'er, senior sisters, long time no see!"

Qi Tianyue and Nan Xin'er hadn't interacted much before, but after returning from the Xuemo Sect Secret Realm last time, their relationship became very close. After all, having faced life and death together changes things.

The two were momentarily stunned, then glanced at Ye Liuyun's attire and the Inner Gate Token at his waist.

Nan Xin'er asked, "Have you reached the Sea Transformation Realm?"

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun nodded in acknowledgment.

Qi Tianyue was the first to recover, smiling, "Whatever you've done now, I'm not surprised at all!"

Nan Xin'er also nodded, "When you entered, you were only at the True Origin Quadruple, and now you're a tier above us. Did you conceal something during the bloodline test?"

They themselves were only at the Ninth True Essence. It was just that an Elder of the Inner Gate took them as disciples, so they entered the Inner Gate early.

"You will soon reach the Sea Transformation Realm as well," Ye Liuyun modestly said, without directly answering Nan Xin'er's question about the bloodline test.

At that moment, a young male disciple walked over from outside.

"Tianyue, Xin'er, what a coincidence, running into you here!" The male disciple couldn't take his eyes off the two beauties, didn't look at Ye Liuyun at all, and directly approached them.

Both women, upon seeing him, showed contemptuous expressions. Nan Xin'er turned her head and pretended not to see him. Qi Tianyue politely called out "Guo Kai senior brother" and also turned away.

Ye Liuyun, seeing his sullen expression, knew he was no good, so it was no wonder the two beauties despised him.

Guo Kai, noticing the two women looking at Ye Liuyun, finally realized there was a youth present.

"Who are you, daring to flirt with our Inner Gate's sister duo?" Guo Kai deliberately put Ye Liuyun in a difficult spot to embarrass him and highlight his own imposing image.

"Are you blind? Which eye saw me flirting with them?" Ye Liuyun retorted bluntly, unexpectedly.

A Sea Transformation Second Realm disciple daring to bully him—simply outrageous!

"You dare scold me? Do you know who I am?" Guo Kai shouted angrily.

He thought Ye Liuyun was just a raw newcomer from the Outer Gate. In the Inner Gate, everyone at Sea Transformation First Realm knows him.

"I don't care who you are! Get out now! If you don't, I'll not only scold you but also beat you!" Ye Liuyun said without hesitation.

The two women exchanged glances.

They both knew Ye Liuyun was a troublemaker! Since his arrival, the Inner Gate might cause a stir just like the Outer Gate.

"That Guo Kai is a Grand Elder's disciple! You crippled one of his disciples last time; don't provoke his disciples again!" Qi Tianyue sent Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

"Judging by his disciples' behavior, the Grand Elder isn't any better!" Ye Liuyun replied with Divine Sense, completely ignoring Qi Tianyue's words.

He unleashed all his Overlord Aura, like an emperor gazing down on ants, intimidating Guo Kai. Guo Kai, faced with that aura, dared not resist and fled in disgrace.

But in his heart he harbored hatred for Ye Liuyun. "You brat, daring to embarrass me before my junior sister! I'll see how I finish you!"

After scattering Guo Kai, Ye Liuyun retracted his aura and said to the two beauties, "Senior sisters, you go ahead; I'll head to the Outer Gate, and we'll catch up another day!" He bowed to them and floated away.

But the two women kept watching his figure fade before they finally came to their senses.

"He's just too handsome! How can that annoying guy be so strong?" Nan Xin'er complained.

Qi Tianyue laughed, "Do you like him or hate him? Your words have me confused!"

Nan Xin'er rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "Enough, who doesn't know you like him! And you ask me…"

The two laughed and walked back, chatting all the way about Ye Liuyun.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun went straight to Song Yi and Li Mengxi, told them he had entered the Inner Gate, and handed them the prepared pills.

"Congratulations, junior brother, you entered the Inner Gate so quickly!" Both were genuinely happy for Ye Liuyun.

"But we'll catch up to you soon!" Li Mengxi said.

"Indeed! You will also enter the Inner Gate soon!" Ye Liuyun, knowing the senior sister's competitive nature, was sure her stimulation would make her work even harder.

"I've recently slain some ferocious beasts; would you like to try my barbecue skills?" Ye Liuyun asked immediately.

He hadn't seen his senior brothers and sisters for quite a while, so perhaps a small gathering here would be nice.

"Sure!" Both of them hadn't seen Ye Liuyun for a long time either and wanted to chat more with him.

So Ye Liuyun grilled and boiled, and also brought out some medicinal wine, and a few of them gathered together once.

Ye Liuyun also told them about the current state of the Heavenly Fate King. They talked for a long time before each went back to practice cultivation.
