Chapter 1821: The Hidden Threat Still Lingers

Ye Liuyun told the others to go cultivate immediately; he helped Xiao Yunfang select a fifth‑tier shield and also gave her spear‑Intent Crystal, pills, beast meat, energy crystal spheres and other resources, as well as one million mid‑grade Divine Crystals and one hundred billion low‑grade Divine Crystals.

"This is what I prepared for you; see if you're satisfied?"

Ye Liuyun left the Space World and gave the Storage Ring to Xiao Yunfang.

Later, after Ye Liuyun killed the Martial Cultivator in the Chengzhu Fu, he basically gave the Storage Ring to Xiao Yunfang, and she was already very satisfied.

When she saw what was inside the Storage Ring, she jumped in shock.

"These are all for me?" she asked surprisedly.

She asked in surprise.

"Of course! You risked your life to save me, so I had to find some suitable items for you!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

"But that's way too much! You already gave me quite a lot before!"

Xiao Yunfang felt it was too valuable and wanted to return it to Ye Liuyun.

"Take it; with what I gave you before, it should be enough for you to cultivate up to the late stage of the Fourth Realm! I've kept enough for myself, so I can't shortchange you!"

Ye Liuyun insisted that she keep it.

"Fine then! I'll take it as your apology! Pervert!"

In the end Xiao Yunfang couldn't argue with him, so she reluctantly accepted it, but she was still happy and began teasing Ye Liuyun again.

"Haha, you said I've apologized; shouldn't you change that 'pervert' nickname?"

Ye Liuyun also laughed.

"It can't be changed! Even though I've forgiven you, it doesn't mean you're no longer a pervert!"

Xiao Yunfang was determined not to change it.

Ye Liuyun smiled again; after all, he's used to her scolding, so it doesn't matter.

"Make the most of your time cultivating! Aim to break through to the Fourth Realm before we leave."

Ye Liuyun reminded Xiao Yunfang of this and then went to check the situation in the Underworld.

Opening the Underworld is of great significance to Ye Liuyun, as it adds another powerful support; he also intends to maintain the Underworld's development as much as possible.

"These past days, indeed many Yin Souls from the Divine Realm have arrived, and the numbers are basically normal."

Zhuge Feiyu also communicated the situation with Ye Liuyun.

He also speculated: "Even if the Divine Realm is vast, I estimate there would be at most one more entrance and exit, that's about it."

He then asked Ye Liuyun: "Did you find any information in the Foreign Tribe's memories?"

Ye Liuyun shook his head slowly, saying worriedly: "In the Foreign Tribe's memories, there is absolutely no information about other Underworld gates.

Not even how the Three-Life Stone and Yellow Spring Water came to be.

In his memory, there is only information about the Innocent City.

Even his memories of the previous Alien Battlefield are scarce, providing no insight into the overall strength of the Foreign Tribe.

I suspect someone erased those related pieces of information."

Zhuge Feiyu also frowned and said slowly: "So that means there exists a Foreign Tribe stronger than him?"

Ye Liuyun nodded: "Very possible!"

"It seems the hidden danger still remains! You don't need to be too anxious; improving your strength is still the priority!"

Zhuge Feiyu comforted Ye Liuyun for a while.

"Indeed! With strength, you'll eventually encounter it!"

Ye Liuyun agreed, thinking that's the logic.

If his strength were insufficient to confront the Foreign Tribe, he wouldn't have gained so much this time, nor could he have obtained so much information.

Everything still has to be based on strengthening oneself.

"Alright, I'm going back.

Now contact will be easier; whenever you need something, just find me!"

Ye Liuyun didn't linger and returned directly to the Chengzhu Fu of the Innocent City to cultivate.

He plans to, after this return, go to the Alien Battlefield for some training.

Anyway, the resources are sufficient now; even if they can't obtain many later, they can still hold on.

Ye Liuyun's realm was only recently advanced; although he has gone through a great battle, there's no need to rush to level up.

The Foreign Tribe's three‑eyed creature, he hasn't had time to study, so he set it aside for now.

He simply filled the Storage Yuan Stone together with his clone, and then began to comprehend the Conceptual Crystal.

The reason he can now fight across realms is thanks to the Conceptual Crystal.

He and his clone share two Souls; when one comprehends, the other's realm also rises simultaneously.

Unlike realm advancement, which requires double the resources.

So he can improve two realms at once.

Lei Ming and the others raised their realms to the late stage of the Third Realm, matching Ye Liuyun; after that they also began to comprehend the Conceptual Crystal, discovering that it allows them to cross realms to challenge opponents.

Xiao Yunfang directly broke through to the early stage of the Fourth Realm.

But even though her realm has broken through, she knows she's not Ye Liuyun's match.

Ye Liuyun felt the Innocent City was gradually stabilizing, so he led everyone back to the Border Battlefield.

He carried the Token of the Innocent City, able to seal or move this Secret Realm at any time.

If any problem arises, he can know instantly without spending much experience to monitor.

Along the way they walked and rested intermittently; after some comprehension they would go out to spar, then stop to cultivate again.

After about three months of travel, they finally returned to the stationed camp.

The Spear Corps and Zhang Wencai and others had already returned long ago.

After Xiao Yunfang returned and took inventory, she found that the Spear Corps had only about 2,500 people back.

Three squads had not a single person return.

The other 200‑plus were all killed in battle within their squads.

Now more than two months have passed since the time they had agreed upon.

At this point, if they still haven't returned, they are probably not coming back.

Xiao Yunfang didn't wait any longer and led everyone back to the Western Region Royal City.

Because everyone had gathered plenty of resources, they didn't stop at all en route and rushed straight back to the Royal City in one go.

Ye Liuyun, on the way back, only then began to advance his realm, raising it to the Third‑Tier Apex, and then stopped.

Lei Ming and the others also kept pace with Ye Liuyun, advancing their realms to the Third‑Tier Apex and then stopping.

Yet their strength had increased considerably.

Their individual true combat power could now challenge a Fourth‑Tier early‑stage Martial Cultivator.

After Ye Liuyun returned to the Royal City, he didn't go to the Royal Mansion first; he headed straight for the Xuan Yuan Tower.

He had a large amount of surplus resources in his hands that needed to be exchanged.

"It's been more than half a year, and the realm advancement's been pretty good! How's the resource gathering?"

As soon as they met, Xuan Yuan Ling began asking Ye Liuyun about his situation.

She only saw Ye Liuyun at the early stage of the Third‑Tier realm.

"What?"

"Do you have any business to recommend to me?"

Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"You think we're a black shop?"

"There's no way there's that much business!"

Xuan Yuan Ling gave Ye Liuyun a cold stare and said.

"I recall someone saying, when I return, they'll treat me to a drink, right?"

Ye Liuyun smiled and asked again.

Xuan Yuan Ling's face flushed slightly: "Of course, my word is binding! You're here today because of that drinking matter, aren't you?"

"It's not just that; I also need to exchange some resources with you!"

Ye Liuyun said.
