Chapter 2737: One Step Ahead
After Xuan Yuan Ling got his wish fulfilled, he no longer complained and worked with great vigor every day helping Ye Liuyun integrate the resources of each star system.
Ye Liuyun also went to the Liulin Dynasty again to reassure Liu Yunyao.
At the same time he opened the Spirit Cloud Business Association into the twin dynasties' star system; relying on their high‑quality resources, the Spirit Cloud Business Association immediately took off, not only boosting the local Martial Cultivators' strength but also making a huge profit.
Qiong Qi also helped establish a Teleportation Array, allowing the two places to connect without obstacles and saving round‑trip time.
The Spirit Cloud Business Association's business in the Liulin Dynasty was mostly handled by Liu Yunyao.
Thus every star system Ye Liuyun occupied became fully connected.
Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters also helped set up a backup Teleportation Array, and Ye Liuyun recorded all the coordinates in the Teleportation Black Tower to prevent the connections between star systems from breaking.
All this took three to four months, considerably longer than Ye Liuyun had expected.
The forging and outfitting of equipment, resource preparation, soldier conscription and training before the army's expedition all require time.
Therefore during this period everyone was preparing in a hectic rush, no easier than usual.
On the contrary, Ye Liuyun spent his nights in revelry, and his cultivation time decreased a lot.
In the end Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and the other women urged him to leave quickly, fearing it would delay his cultivation.
But actually this had little effect on Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun now practices primarily with Mo Ran, and he also has many Zhuanzai Sichong Martial Cultivators as sparring partners; every few days they have a big bout, and his Mysterious Origin is very solid.
Ye Liuyun also feels that everything has been arranged enough, and he has no need to stay here any longer.
So he let Yu Xiaofeng and the others prepare slowly, and once they are ready they will set out, while he himself took the first step.
Now he is hurrying through the Xingkong, and normally he doesn't use the Hunting Falcon, but practices himself to increase Spatial Power.
Only when he is tired does he let the Hunting Falcon out; he cultivates on the Falcon's back.
Besides Spatial Power and Mysterious Origin, his Physical Body, bloodline and Divine Soul Power also need strengthening.
These aspects now rely on the pills specially forged by Lin Luoyi for him to condense.
The Hunting Falcon is responsible for keeping watch while he cultivates.
There are many dangers in the Xingkong; occasionally they encounter giant beasts of the Xingkong.
After crossing the empty stretch between two star systems, higher‑realm star systems often still encounter Martial Cultivators.
Ye Liuyun feels that he has been traveling in the Xingkong for over two months before seeing the star system ahead.
The entire star system is disc‑shaped, and it contains many especially bright planets—at least several thousand—and even more other planets.
"This star system doesn't look small; the Martial Cultivators' strength is probably formidable!"
Ye Liuyun speculated in his mind.
Moreover, in this massive star system a planet in the middle shines especially brightly; Ye Liuyun estimates that the Primordial Power there has been artificially amplified.
At least it shows that the Martial Cultivators there are not weak.
Through his Golden Pupil observation, he saw that the opposite side of the star system has many Martial Cultivators and Flying Boats traversing the Xingkong, while almost no one is active on his side of the Xingkong.
He immediately ordered the Hunting Falcon to stop.
Because the Martial Cultivators he saw were all at the Zhuanzai Sichong or Zhuanzai Wuchong realms.
On a distant planet there are also Sixfold Sovereign Martial Cultivators.
These are only the situations on the few nearby planets he has seen; there may well be Martial Cultivators of even higher realms.
Ye Liuyun hesitated, thinking the Martial Cultivators here are too strong, which is not conducive to the cultivation of others in his Spatial World.
But he also wanted to go over and try challenging them.
Pressure creates motivation; this environment suits his rapid advancement better.
Thus he decided to let his clone take the others and continue exploring.
He kept only the Magic Vine, Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, Vermilion Bird and Thief Cat by his side to venture through this star system.
The clone rides the Hunting Falcon, leading the others and a Demon Race army to other star systems for further exploration.
He carries the Teleportation Black Tower with him, so he can leave at any time if danger arises.
After the clone departs, Ye Liuyun continues onward.
But just as he nears the planet, a Flying Boat suddenly appears before him, causing a strong spatial disturbance.
This startles Ye Liuyun.
He had not noticed any omen before, and didn't even know where the Flying Boat emerged from.
A Martial Cultivator stepped down from the Flying Boat.
This Martial Cultivator is at the Zhuanzai Wuchong realm, yet dressed as a Mercenary.
Two Mercenaries of the third‑ and fourth‑level Zhuanzai follow behind, clearly coming for him.
"Martial Cultivator from another star system?"
The Zhuanzai Wuchong Mercenary asked Ye Liuyun.
"Yes!"
Ye Liuyun replied.
His Golden Pupil had already scouted the Warship's situation and found that there was even a Sixfold Sovereign Martial Cultivator aboard.
These people seemed to be a mercenary squad, only a dozen or so in total.
Aside from one Sixfold Sovereign and two Zhuanzai Wuchong Martial Cultivators, the rest are at the third‑ and fourth‑level, and Ye Liuyun's level is not the lowest.
The Mercenary nodded and said to Ye Liuyun, "It looks like you came from another star system.
You've just arrived, perhaps you don't know the rules.
I'm too lazy to explain further; I'll give you two choices: join us, or hand over the Storage Ring.
Which do you choose?"
Ye Liuyun, hearing that, let out a helpless laugh and said, "Am I being robbed by bandits?"
That mercenary actually admitted: "Pretty much, we're all mercenary groups here, but we're pretty much like bandits."
There's no way, cultivation also needs resources!
"That's true, but my storage ring doesn't have any resources, you definitely won't be satisfied."
How about I join you?
I also lack resources, how about that?
Ye Liuyun retorted.
That mercenary looked at Ye Liuyun and also said: "That works, but we still need to see how strong you are."
If you can't beat him, we don't even want to take you!
He immediately called out a Zhuanzai Sanchong subordinate: "You go test him."
Ye Liuyun saw only ten Zhuanzai Sanchong mercenaries and immediately laughed: "You're looking down on me?"
You found someone with a lower realm to fight me?
Oh?
That mercenary instantly got excited: "You kid, you're somewhat interesting!"
"Haha, first beat me then talk! Outsiders don't know the rules; this time I won't blame you."
Don't speak so arrogantly from now on!
That Zhuanzai Sanchong mercenary then laughed, releasing two ferocious beasts from his Space World.
One is a Zhuanzai Sichong tusk boar, obviously thick-skinned and hard to hit; the other is a green bee perched on the boar's back. It looks like these two ferocious beasts are accustomed to cooperating in attack, with a huge size difference—one mainly defends, the other mainly attacks.
That martial cultivator also drew a knife, which looks not low-grade.
"Still saying you can beat me now?"
That mercenary looked triumphantly at Ye Liuyun and said.
"So the rule here is that ferocious beasts count as one's own strength?"
Ye Liuyun also became interested; he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, there would be a suitable opponent for him to practice on.
