Chapter 2469: line with translation of chapter title

Ye Liuyun thought that since the Holy Land Dynasty and its people lacked a unified front against the Foreign Tribe, any further effort on his part would only waste the Holy Land Dynasty's strength.

That would not help the resistance against the Foreign Tribe either.

It would be better to let them fight the Foreign Tribe themselves while he recuperates and strengthens himself.

So, apart from having Mo Tianheng and the people he controls gather information, he ceased all contact with the Holy Land Dynasty, leaving them to guess his whereabouts.

With this buffer period and ample alchemy materials, Tong Xin and the other Alchemists can have enough time to forge equipment for the army.

The soldiers can also use this time for training and improvement.

Within Ye Liuyun's Space World, people have settled down peacefully.

Their lives have not been affected at all.

On the contrary, it is safer now, with no fear of Foreign Tribe invasion.

Moreover, this is Ye Liuyun's world, and he is the one who decides.

The public security here is much better than before.

Soldiers who leave the unit either become ordinary Martial Cultivators or join the resistance army against the Foreign Tribe.

Martial Cultivators above the Seventh Layer of Divine Crystal automatically become members of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

Once war breaks out with the Foreign Tribe, everyone must take part in the fight, becoming reserves to jointly protect their hard‑won peace.

Ye Liuyun cannot completely prevent Martial Cultivators from competing for resources to improve themselves, but gratuitous oppression of the weak by the strong has become rare.

His Space World, now endowed with ample Primordial Power and abundant life, has begun to operate its own self‑sustaining cycle.

Ye Liuyun also scatters many unused resources throughout the world, letting Martial Cultivators explore and discover them, effectively supplementing their supplies.

In the Space World, many areas that require special protection are not opened to them by Ye Liuyun.

For example, the residential zones for his own people, the herb‑cultivation fields, resource storage areas, Primordial Power sites, and the alchemy and forging districts are all under strict protection.

Fierce beasts, Demon Race, Demon Beasts, and half‑beast peoples each have their own activity zones; only a few exploring Martial Cultivators enter, and without massive human intrusion they can still cultivate and rest.

Formation Masters, Alchemists, and Alchemists have also begun taking on many disciples, cultivating more future strength for the Space World.

Ye Liuyun also established several Martial Cultivator academies, giving more people mentors to accelerate their cultivation.

The women around Ye Liuyun—Liang Xue and Feng Hong Xiu—have already cultivated to the Tenth Layer of Divine Crystal, while Lei Ming and Long Nv have begun to breach the Second Layer of Tianren.

The others are at the Ninth Layer of Divine Crystal, striving toward the Tenth Layer.

They also frequently go into the Migung to train Divine Soul Power and Spatial Power, seizing the time to boost their strength.

Ye Liuyun knows his power has only just broken through, and achieving another breakthrough will not happen overnight.

Moreover, the spectacular sight of the Sword God commanding ten thousand swords left a deep impression on him.

This made him feel that he is still far from being a true strong one.

So he took Qin Peng, Tie Jun and others, along with a two‑hundred‑thousand‑strong army, boarded a Warship from the Mojie and set out to explore the Xingkong.

This way he can discover more resources while tempering Qin Peng, Tie Jun and the others, cultivating more commanders.

In the Xingkong, if Ye Liuyun encounters a valuable Xiao dao, he treats it as a Secret Realm, integrates it into his Space World, and lets Martial Cultivators discover and explore it.

When he finds a valuable Da dao, he trains troops, subdues it, and then folds it into his Space World.

He gradually discovers that the island resources surrounding the Mojie are indeed abundant.

In nearly a year, he collected two more Da dao islands.

One of those islands is uninhabited but hosts many Demon Beasts.

The other island is inhabited by both Human Race and Demon Race, with both sides fighting each other within the same world.

After a few battles with them, Ye Liuyun subdued them and then incorporated the island into his Space World.

He then relocated the Demon Race to the Mozu Quyu, separating them from the Human Race to prevent another large war.

During this period, Ye Liuyun also encountered many Xingkong giants in the Xingkong.

He could defeat about half of them on his own, while the rest required the aid of his clones.

A small portion needed the assistance of Hawks and other strong Martial Cultivators.

He also placed Slave Seals on two special Xingkong giants.

One of them is a nine‑headed demon dragon, whose combat power, Divine Soul Power, and Spatial Power are all exceptionally strong.

Ye Liuyun, with Ling Hai and other Martial Cultivators and two hundred Hawk Battleships, chased that nine‑headed demon dragon for over ten days, sacrificing more than ten strong Martial Cultivators and over thirty Hawks, finally provoking it to launch a Spiritual Soul Attack; it was ultimately controlled by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, and Ye Liuyun placed a Slave Seal on it.

The other Xingkong giant was even more peculiar.

Its body resembled a giant lion, but its temperament was far milder than that of a fierce beast.

It does not eat living things or kill; it solely devours metal on islands and planets.

Moreover, it is extremely stealthy; once near a planet, it silently absorbs the planet's metallic energy.

Metal it absorbs eventually turns into metal dust.

When Ye Liuyun first encountered it, a Warship was nearly sucked into metal dust by it.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun reacted quickly, pulling the entire Warship into the Space World in time, preventing it from absorbing the soldiers' armor and weapons' metal.

Yet after being retrieved, the warships were nearly ruined, their defenses so weak that even a single palm strike from a Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator could shatter them.

Facing this monster, all Hawks and weapons dared not approach it.

Its whole body is like a solid piece of metal, making its defense essentially indestructible.

Ye Liuyun attacked it with Ice Power, flame and other forces, yet it barely reacted.

It isn't afraid of human attacks at all; even when struck, it lazily ignores them and continues to absorb the metal energy of a Da dao.

Its Divine Soul Power is also exceptionally strong, and it never initiates a Spiritual Soul Attack.

Ye Liuyun finally, together with the clone, Qiong Qi, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon and others, only then used Spiritual Soul Attack to implant a Slave Seal on it, thereby subduing it.

To raise it, Ye Liuyun specially prepared a metal-rich big island for it to serve as its lair; he normally doesn't dare let it out, fearing it might accidentally absorb all nearby metal.

Over more than a year, Ye Liuyun's gains were enormous; his own Heaven and Earth Power also greatly increased.

His realm was also solidly consolidated by him, and he also gathered plenty of resources.

Meanwhile, Tong Xin and the others not only fully equipped the army with gear, but also produced ten thousand sets of improved Wujia.

They originally wanted to produce more.

But Ye Liuyun felt that if the soldiers relied too much on Wujia, they would lose the motivation to improve their own strength.

These ten thousand sets of Wujia, when given to Martial Cultivators of the Ninefold Divine Realm, are enough to boost the combat power of ten thousand people to the Threefold Heavenly Human Realm.

Ten thousand fighters at the Threefold Heavenly Human Realm are already enough to deal with most dangers.

If truly needed, stockpiling some refining materials would allow later production in time.
