Chapter 1768: Quiet Cultivation

Ye Liuyun's space world, the environment also became even more suitable for cultivation.

Lan Xin also happily busied herself every day cultivating inside, and lived very contentedly.

On his way back, Ye Liuyun specially caught a few low-level ferocious beasts, letting his clone bring Lan Xin to practice against them.

Although Lan Xin wasn't her main focus, Ye Liuyun still hoped she could improve as much as possible whenever she had the chance.

Huh?

How come you came back five or six days early?

Pei Yong saw Ye Liuyun and the others return, and was a bit curious.

"No way, something happened on Royal Beast Mountain, and four-layer experts fought."

All the people from those two great families have gone.

We also didn't dare go further in, so we had to withdraw.

Ye Liuyun didn't tell Pei Yong that the divine crystal vein had been taken by him.

"Then you didn't gain anything!"

Pei Yong asked back with some worry.

Not exactly.

I've looted quite a bit along the way!

Ye Liuyun smiled and then brought everyone back to cultivate inside the Xuan Kong Stone.

You brat, you know you won't come back without scraping off a layer of skin.

Pei Yong smiled, thinking Ye Liuyun must have gained a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have returned so early.

After Ye Liuyun cultivated quietly for a few days, he only discovered before leaving that the number of martial cultivators boarding the flying boat this time was just over a hundred.

The flying boat was also changed to a slightly smaller one bearing the royal mansion's insignia.

Ye Liuyun estimated that from now on, no one would dare provoke them along this route.

Thus, along the way, Ye Liuyun and the others cultivated inside the Xuan Kong Stone, consuming various resources they had seized.

The artistic crystal stones and pills from those two great families were also used to the fullest.

After Ye Liuyun and the others had exhausted those resources, they began to absorb the spirit stones replaced inside the space world, first using up all the spirit stones.

Next, Ye Liuyun refined all the remaining pills that could be refined, so everyone would have resources to persist to the royal city.

Lei Ming, Man Shu, Long Nv and the others successively reached the mid-second layer along the way.

And Ye Liuyun's cultivation had already reached the peak of the second layer.

So he also stopped absorbing energy, waiting to temper the mysterious origin before making a breakthrough.

He and his clone also began absorbing electricity, fire and other forces for a comprehensive enhancement.

For heavenly earth power, he relied on the heavenly earth pill to increase it bit by bit.

Over two months, Ye Liuyun and the others cultivated enough inside the Xuan Kong Stone.

Along the way, the royal mansion's flying boat faced no obstruction and smoothly reached the outskirts of the royal city.

The flying boat did not enter the city, but stopped in an encampment outside prepared specially for these martial cultivators.

When Ye Liuyun and his group arrived, there were already four or five hundred martial cultivators living there.

You will wait here for the final selection, and only then will you be taken into the royal mansion.

A third-layer realm inspector announced.

Afterward, each inspector led his subordinates into the encampment.

At this moment, besides Ye Liuyun and his few companions, Pei Yong's men had only three other martial cultivators left, and these cultivators had already raised their cultivation to the early second layer.

Most of the martial cultivators able to reach here had already attained at least the early second layer.

Isn't it about time you raised your cultivation?

Pei Yong reminded Ye Liuyun.

Thus, Ye Liuyun and the others all raised their cultivation to the early second layer together.

Even the black panther was the same.

Seeing this, Pei Yong was somewhat speechless; he had never imagined that even the black panther had concealed its cultivation.

Not enough! At least raise it to the mid-second layer!

Pei Yong said it directly.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and the others hesitate a moment, Pei Yong sent a mental transmission to Ye Liuyun: 'Your cultivation is too low to enter the royal mansion.'

Thus Ye Liuyun had everyone raise their cultivation to the mid-second layer.

Seeing the black panther also raise its cultivation to the mid-second layer, Pei Yong couldn't help but smile wryly.

I reckon this guy has also been devouring corpses quite a bit along the way.

Afterward, Pei Yong arranged lodgings for Ye Liuyun and the others.

Most of the people from their flying boat also lived in a large tent.

Inside the tent there were no beds, only individual mats for them to sit and cultivate.

We'll meet again, and it should be inside the royal mansion!

Pei Yong bade farewell to Ye Liuyun and the others.

He believed Ye Liuyun and the others would definitely pass, so leaking too much information to him would be useless.

The other inspectors were the same; those who had martial cultivators with them were now giving final instructions to the martial cultivators.

How many more need to be eliminated?

Ye Liuyun sent a mental transmission to ask Pei Yong a question.

At least half!

Pei Yong replied with a sentence, didn't say more to Ye Liuyun, then followed the inspectors and left together.

Ye Liuyun and the others were left here, and no one came to manage them.

Besides the guards at the gate who wouldn't let them leave freely, the entire garrison consisted solely of Martial Cultivators, with not a single inspector or administrator.

Everyone was busy cultivating, and hardly anyone dared to cause trouble.

Ye Liuyun and the others still had some resources left to absorb, so they weren't in a hurry.

But when he cultivates, he always leaves one of his clones outside to guard the Xuan Kong Stone, lest any accident occur.

In the following days, inspectors brought people to stay here every day.

Each group that came in stayed in a large tent, numbering around a hundred, with roughly similar strength.

Ye Liuyun discovered that at least one-tenth of the Martial Cultivators had reached the Second Level Mid-stage.

Moreover, the aura of some suggested they would reach the Second Level Mid-stage in a few days.

"These people are now battle-hardened; at least half of them will still be eliminated—what a pity!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't understand why they weren't sent to the battlefield to gain experience—even killing just one Foreign Tribe member would be good!

But he currently has no say, so he can only wait for arrangements.

Royal City—he is definitely going to enter.

Even if not to obtain the Realm Crystal Stone promised by Mysterious Origin Hong, he still wants to participate in the Foreign Tribe War.

After more than ten days, once the last group of Martial Cultivators entered, the garrison's gate was finally closed.

A voice transmitted directly inside: "In ten days, any Martial Cultivator whose realm is below the Second Level Mid-stage will be eliminated!"

After the voice finished speaking, there was no further sound.

"This move is plenty vicious!"

Ye Liuyun immediately released everyone, having them prepare for battle.

Many Martial Cultivators looked at each other, unsure what to do.

Some Martial Cultivators felt it was unfair.

They had endured great hardship to get here, being the survivors after elimination from several thousand, yet they were to be eliminated again.

But no matter how they complained, they received no response.

Some quick-reacting Martial Cultivators immediately attacked those nearby with lower realms, seizing resources and even taking their Origin Cores to absorb directly!

Soon, the garrison was filled with bloodthirsty killing.

Martial Cultivators below the Second Level were instantly slaughtered to the last.

Next, many Second Level Early-stage Martial Cultivators were also killed by those around them.
