Chapter 2630: Press On

After Baro learned this information, he was also shocked.

He had only ever reached the trade planet before, never gone farther, and had never seen a Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun also took him to the Alliance, the Holy Land Dynasty, the Shengyuan Dynasty, and the Zhoujin Dynasty, where he saw how vast the world was, that a single planet could hold so many people.

Ye Liuyun merely wanted to turn this trade planet into an external border trade hub.

He also had Qiong Qi and other Formation Masters set up a Teleportation Array between the trade planet and the Alliance, so Alliance resources could be sold here and local resources could be sold to the Alliance to bolster its strength.

After seeing the larger world, Baro's ideas completely changed, and he voluntarily resolved to help Ye Liuyun develop this place.

He no longer considered only the interests of the local tribe as before.

Ye Liuyun also believes that once Baro's horizons have broadened, he will run this trade border station well.

Even if Baro is idle, with local resources backing him, the business here won't be poor.

Ye Liuyun himself began to use the acquired resources to cultivate at full strength.

With Lin Luoyi and other Alchemists present, many medicinal herbs can be utilized to their fullest.

All resources such as Iron‑skin Fruit, Gathering Spirit Ginseng, and Blood‑Dragon Fruit had their ingestion methods refined by Lin Luoyi and the Alchemists, yielding markedly better results.

Ye Liuyun's Physical Body, Bloodline Power, and Divine Soul Power all rose together.

After the Bloodline rose, his Bloodline Pressure surpassed Long Nv, allowing him to push an opponent's realm down by one level.

He simply seldom uses Bloodline Power.

His Divine Soul Power increased dramatically, at least thirty percent higher than before.

Moreover, beyond the power boost, his soul was purified again.

So although his soul's size hasn't changed much, its solidity far exceeds that of Zhuanzai Sanchong masters like Xiao Ran and Wan Gang.

The Golden Bell of Guarding Soul that Ye Liuyun had seized from a Foreign Tribe strongman once helped a clone deflect an attack.

In fact, it was a soul‑woven defensive technique.

However, after his soul solidified this time, Ye Liuyun's soul itself became nearly as dense as that Golden Bell, allowing it to directly block some Spiritual Soul Attacks.

So he gave that soul Golden Bell to Bai Hu.

Bai Hu's combat power is great, but he does not value soul cultivation enough; Ye Liuyun never dares to let Bai Hu fight, fearing others might control him.

Of the two spire treasures that attack souls in the clone's Sea of Consciousness, he gave one to Bai Hu and one to Shi Yuan.

Physical Body strength is also a cultivation foundation Ye Liuyun constantly monitors.

He was already able to withstand attacks from peers of the same realm.

Yet after sparring with Xiao Ran and Wan Gang, he found his Physical Body still struggles to block attacks from Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivators.

This is mainly because the gap between Zhuanzai Erchong and Zhuanzai Sanchong is huge.

Still, Ye Liuyun set cross‑level defense as a goal, focusing on Physical Body cultivation and tempering it through combat.

Moreover, improving the Physical Body is not a short‑term aim but a long‑term cultivation.

So Ye Liuyun, while still here, gathered more resources.

Not only for himself, but also for the various cultivation resources others needed, Ye Liuyun collected plenty, sending many to Ye Tiandao and others, not forgetting the Leaders fighting abroad.

Moreover, during this period Ye Liuyun frequently sparred with peers and cross‑realm strongmen.

Until he could exhaust the True Essence of an ordinary Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivator, he was temporarily satisfied with his cultivation.

Then he cultivated Mysterious Origin and Heaven and Earth Power for a while.

Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Bloodline are the foundations of a realm; Ye Liuyun mostly uses them as defensive means.

Even his frequently used Spiritual Soul Attack is only employed when the opponent's strength gap is huge or when information must be obtained.

In ordinary battles he avoids using it whenever possible.

Mysterious Origin and Heaven and Earth Power represent his offensive capability.

In combat, he can't just endure; he must also win by draining the opponent's True Essence.

Thus in fights he mainly seeks Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivators to spar with, to pressure himself.

Yet the huge gap cannot be closed easily; it must be bridged step by step.

Ye Liuyun maintains a set daily cultivation time to refine Primordial Power, replenish his energy consumption, and let Mysterious Origin continuously improve in quality through cyclic use.

Were it not for the clone's ten‑fold time cultivation environment, Ye Liuyun's cultivation speed would be slower than a turtle's crawl.

His Dual‑Element Pill has placed tremendous pressure on him.

Though battles are energy‑draining, when cultivating to fully replenish Mysterious Origin, it also demands more time.

Moreover, the energy demand is doubled.

This makes his need for resources grow even more.

Adding that many around him have also taken Dual‑Element Pills, their resource consumption is higher.

Now he feels that the Primordial Power seized from the Foreign Tribe won't last long.

Consequently, after sensing his overall strength had risen, Ye Liuyun immediately left the trade planet, pressed onward to explore the borders of the Yinhu Xingxi, seeking more cultivation resources.

Tong Xin and Qiong Qi finally returned the Hunting Falcon to Ye Liuyun.

They developed a Warship that is faster, with stronger defense and combat power.

However, it is still in the testing phase and requires design revisions.

Yet the Hunting Falcon is no longer needed by them, making it perfect for Ye Liuyun to use for rapid travel.

Riding the Hunting Falcon, Ye Liuyun can feel its spatial‑traversal ability, boost his Spatial Power, and cultivate safely without delaying his own progress.

Thus the Hunting Falcon became Ye Liuyun's best mount.

To reward the Hunting Falcon, Ye Liuyun supplied it with plenty of cultivation resources, not letting it suffer in vain.

Ye Liuyun also gave it a Transformation Pill; when Ye Liuyun pauses resource exploration, the Hunting Falcon will use it to exorcise demons.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun will not send it into risky battles.

There were too many people around Ye Liuyun wanting to fight, and the shifts couldn't keep up, so this hunting falcon just flew by instinct and got enough food and resources.

It was also quite diligent; after a while it felt that following Ye Liuyun wasn't bad.

Ye Liuyun also thought that after walking so far, he should be nearing the edge of the star system.

After looking around with his Golden Pupil, he also discovered that there were suddenly many fewer planets ahead.

Perhaps the border would be reached soon.

But even if he got there, he couldn't be sure; he would still have to go much farther to confirm.
