Chapter 1728: The Biggest Winner

Ye Liuyun was ecstatic at this moment.

He hadn't expected that being robbed once would yield so many unexpected gains, and it actually made him the biggest winner.

It wasn't just a simple accumulation of cultivation supplies.

In that brief interval, Ye Liuyun and his duplicate each captured the Divine Soul Power of dozens of people.

He released his Soul to launch a surprise attack while the Magic Vine had just begun slaying Martial Cultivators.

Anyway, the Magic Vine doesn't absorb Divine Soul Power, so it had no effect on him.

Although much of the Divine Soul Power was temporarily stored in his Divine Realm domain, once he had time to absorb it, that power would become his greatest strength.

"This time I must advance my realm as well; I can't fall behind in Divine Soul Power any longer!"

As Ye Liuyun was thinking this, Lei Ming suddenly cheered within Ye Liuyun's Space World.

"We've struck gold, we've struck gold!"

She loves nothing more than joining Ye Liuyun on raids, each time reaping a big haul.

This time was no different.

Among the raiders' Storage Rings and Treasure Vault, the most abundant resource was Divine Crystal, totaling over sixty million pieces.

Ye Liuyun has now become a wealthy household!

Moreover, the raiders' stockpile of pills, weapons and treasures actually exceeds that of the Mysterious Ice Palace.

There were also plenty of ferocious beast meat from the Divine Realm, now piled into a small mountain.

Within Ye Liuyun's Space World, mountain-like piles of supplies finally began to appear again.

Ye Liuyun also found a second-tier Flying Boat, which he kept as a means of transportation.

He also acquired two second-tier swords, one for each of him and his duplicate as spares.

Ye Tiandao found a third-tier sword he wanted to give to Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun declined, saying he was accustomed to using the Demon Slaying Sword and couldn't adapt to other blades.

Ye Tiandao was pleased and kept it.

Lei Ming was the luckiest, having found two third-tier weapons.

One was a great hammer, the other a large pair of scissors.

She could use the hammer as a weapon, and the scissors for self‑defense.

Long Nv possessed a gilded divine artifact turned into a long staff, as well as a Sea God trident, so she no longer needed other weapons; instead she found a second-tier jade slab that could serve as a Defense Artifact.

Man Shu wielded a sword; the area had the most long swords, ranging from first to third tier, and she could pick any she liked.

Black Panther chose a set of armor, along with a long spear and a long sword.

He wasn't very skilled with weapons; he just used them for show.

Everyone's haul this time was considerable.

Ye Liuyun then had Man Shu lead a few others to sort, arrange, and tally the pills and weapons, then load them into different Storage Rings for easy future resource exchange.

The second- and third-tier pills were handed out immediately so everyone could quickly boost their strength.

The duplicate began following the newly purchased pill formula, attempting to refine second-tier pills.

Ye Liuyun originally intended to return to Chengzhu Fu, but realized the recruitment of laborers hadn't finished.

If he went back, Li Yuanyang would keep him busy refining pills.

"Since we're already out, why not seize this chance and gather more resources!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun bypassed Ice Spring City and pressed onward toward a mountain range not far from Ice Spring City.

The map found in Chengzhu Fu marked that location as a third-tier ferocious beast.

He now had ample Divine Crystals, pills, weapons, and other basic resources, and should still stockpile more beast meat.

So that later, when he goes to the Western Liang Royal Mansion for the selection, he won't be surrounded only by cities with no mountains to hunt in.

He certainly didn't want to spend Crystal Stones to buy ferocious beast meat.

Moreover, after taking the pills, their realms would improve, requiring combat to temper the Mysterious Origin.

Otherwise, relying solely on pill-induced advancement would make the realm unstable and hinder future breakthroughs.

Upon learning Ye Liuyun was heading out to hunt, Lei Ming immediately went to cultivate.

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to bother her; after all, her temperament never let her sit still to help Man Shu with the sorting.

Along the way, Ye Liuyun still encountered many second-tier Divine Realm strongmen, so he never removed his Invisibility Cloak, keeping his form concealed while hurrying to avoid drawing attention and trouble.

If he were to use the Magic Vine in public, it would likely attract the covetous eyes of strong individuals.

Thus, he and his duplicate took turns quietly entering the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.

Even so, Ye Liuyun and his duplicate's Divine Soul Power increased only slightly, yet already surpassed most second-tier Divine Realm strongmen.

His Divine Sense now expanded, allowing Ye to extend his perception about five li around.

Consequently, his Divine Realm domain also stretched to that breadth.

With this, he could at least put up a decent fight against foes.

Stimulated by the abundant resources, Ye Liuyun's realm advanced to the late stage of the first tier of the Divine Realm.

However, he is still far from breaking through the first tier of the Divine Realm; at best he hasn't reached its peak state.

Moreover, unless he trains enough by battling ferocious beasts, he won't be inclined to further elevate his realm.

Ye Liuyun hasn't neglected the cultivation of his Heavenly Earth and Spatial Power.

While hurrying, whenever there was no one nearby, he would seize the moment to practice a few rounds.

Finally, the duplicate said to Ye Liuyun, "Do you remember that guide once mentioned a pill that can help one comprehend Heavenly Earth?"

"I think mastering Heavenly Earth on our own is too slow; why not try the pill?"

"Even if we can't refine it ourselves, the current resources should be enough to exchange for a few!"

"Hmm!"

Ye Liuyun also nodded.

He now has too many things to cultivate; for something so hard to comprehend, borrowing the power of a lower pill is also feasible.

Next, Ye Liuyun began to focus on practicing Spatial Power.

He hurried along while using void translocation to shift ever larger objects.

Spatial Power, compared to Heaven and Earth Power, is relatively easier for Ye Liuyun to train, after all he already has the foundation of reaching the Divine Realm.

Five days later, Ye Liuyun finally arrived at the Maple Fire Forest.

This is the place where ferocious beasts gather.

During this season, the entire mountain range's Maple Fire Forest displays a bright yellow hue, looking rather distinctive.

Before even entering the mountain, Ye Liuyun heard several different beast roars from afar.

"It seems there are indeed many ferocious beasts here!"

Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense, and after finding no one around, he folded the Invisibility Cloak and released the others.

The clone immediately deformed its clothing to hide its face, lest anyone recognize it as Ye Liuyun's clone.

Lei Ming and the other women were instantly captivated by the scenery, becoming intoxicated by it.

Black Panther could only once again take on the role of a hunting hound, revealing its true form to scout ahead for Ye Liuyun and the others, searching for beast tracks.

"Let's go, we'll also test the results of our cultivation these past days!"

Ye Liuyun called out, pulling Lei Ming and Long Nv, and led everyone into the Maple Fire Forest.
