Chapter 2818: Above the Sovereign

Ye Liuyun cultivated while waiting for the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet to awaken.

He wanted to know what realm the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet would reach after another breakthrough, and how strong they would become.

But the Sealing Demon Tablet was not much to hope for; the information it transmitted to Ye Liuyun had always been scant. The Magic Vine was also unreliable—it could express itself clearly, but knew too little, so Ye Liuyun's hopes were not great.

During this period, he had also absorbed a lot of Primordial Power, refining his Mysterious Origin. The Sealing Demon Tablet was about to break through the Zhuanzai Jingjie, and he felt his own progress was too slow.

A Martial Cultivator ultimately relies on personal strength; no matter how strong the army, he must first elevate himself. Otherwise, on the current battlefield, there would be no chance for him to act.

Although Time Power, Spatial Power, and Spiritual Soul Attack counted as part of his strength, their limitations were great. So during this time he steadied his mind to raise his realm, further enhancing his Mysterious Origin quality, reaching the mid‑stage of Zhuanzai Wuchong.

Others, including the strong Foreign Tribe members, spent this period boosting their Soul power. They had been frightened by Ye Liuyun's Yin Soul army and had witnessed the fate of a weak Soul.

When the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine awakened again, Ye Liuyun indeed received no information.

The Sealing Demon Tablet showed no reaction at all; he could not even discern any change. The Magic Vine, however, happily told Ye Liuyun that its realm had broken through, though it did not know what realm it was after the breakthrough.

Ye Liuyun asked it how it felt, but it could not answer. So Ye Liuyun proposed to spar with it, yet it could not even withstand a single strike from the Magic Vine.

The Magic Vine casually lashed at him with a vine, still holding back its force, but Ye Liuyun could only block it by borrowing the power of the Space World. Otherwise, that strike would have torn him to pieces.

Ye Liuyun noticed from its attack that it resembled Mo Tianheng's effortless technique that could summon Heaven and Earth Power. Yet this Heaven and Earth Power was far stronger than Mo Tianheng's.

The Magic Vine was so excited it kept hopping, inviting Ye Liuyun to attack while it offered no retaliation. Ye Liuyun threw a full‑force punch, yet the Magic Vine didn't even try to dodge. Ye Liuyun found that around it seemed to gather a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Power, which directly blocked his punch.

Ye Liuyun's full‑force punch didn't even produce a ripple.

"What on earth is this power?"

Ye Liuyun drew the Demon Slaying Sword to test it. The Demon Slaying Sword was indeed more threatening to the Magic Vine than his fist; its blade intent sliced through the Magic Vine's Heaven and Earth Power, yet it only left a shallow scar on it.

It should be noted that the Demon Slaying Sword was the Magic Vine's nemesis. Previously, even Technique could not pierce the vine's tendrils, yet the Demon Slaying Sword could cleave them. The Magic Vine's Physical Body, however strong, feared the Demon Slaying Sword. Thus Ye Liuyun had never needed to use the sword in training. Now, even when he unleashed full blade intent, it only produced a scratch.

When the Magic Vine first saw Ye Liuyun brandishing the Demon Slaying Sword to spar, it felt uneasy, but after seeing the result it leapt with joy and immediately went to find Lei Ming to show off. Previously it had often been bullied by Lei Ming, and now it wanted to reclaim its standing.

Ye Liuyun promptly summoned Duanjiao, Heishan, Wen Yuan, and Feng Qiong, asking them what realm lay above the Zhuanzai Jingjie.

"Foreign Tribe, do you have a realm above the Zhuanzai Jingjie?" Ye Liuyun asked them.

"Yes!" several replied in unison to Ye Liuyun.

Earlier the Foreign Tribe had not known such a realm. But these few were relatively important figures among the Foreign Tribe, so they all knew the inside story.

"Not only do we have it, but there are three!" Wen Yuan added.

Duanjiao and Feng Qiong also nodded in confirmation: "There are only three!"

"What is that realm?" Ye Liuyun immediately followed up.

"We call it the Mingwu Realm!" Wen Yuan replied.

Ye Liuyun knew that the Foreign Tribe's naming of realms differed from humans'; many realm names were distinct, based on their own characteristics.

Thus, while the Foreign Tribe called it Mingwu Realm, human Martial Cultivators likely used a different name.

"Have you heard what it feels like to reach this realm? What changes occur?" Ye Liuyun had to approach from another angle to inquire about the realm.

"It is said one must achieve great enlightenment, comprehend the laws of nature, and sense a surge of Heaven and Earth momentum," Wen Yuan said.

"I heard the power is boundless, the Physical Body is like diamond and unbreakable, and one attains immortality!" Heishan added...

Ye Liuyun knew they had never reached such a realm; they only heard rumors, which might not be accurate. For example, Heishan's claim of an unbreakable diamond Physical Body could be mere exaggeration.

Just now he had slashed the Magic Vine, leaving a scratch, so it was certainly not an unbreakable diamond body. He could only say that compared to the Zhuanzai Jingjie, it was a great improvement.

"Do you know how many layers this realm has? Have you heard other names?" Ye Liuyun continued the casual chat.

The few shook their heads.

Duanjiao said, "I only heard other Elders mention that this realm has other names, because few can attain it, so many, upon reaching it, name it themselves based on their insight."

"Hmm, that's quite possible," Ye Liuyun thought the explanation was reasonable.

Ye Liuyun asked for a long time but only got this result.

"Continue cultivating, and we'll talk when we reach that realm!"

Ye Liuyun thought of keeping Heishan and Feng Qiong by his side, so they would follow him later.

He asked Yu Xiaofeng to retrieve all the Foreign Tribe corpses that the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine had gathered, and hand them to Heishan so Heishan could raise his realm. Heishan was astonished by the favor, not expecting Ye Liuyun to give him so many benefits; inside were hundreds of thousands of Foreign Tribe corpses.

Ye Liuyun simply told it, "I already have a Monster Beast beside me that has broken through to the Zhuanzai Jingjie. You also cultivate diligently, strive to break through this realm soon, and you'll be able to help me in the future!"

When Heishan heard Ye Liuyun would let it break through the Zhuanzai Jingjie, it became even more excited. It had never imagined that after being captured it would still have a chance to breakthrough its realm.

"Yes!" Heishan exclaimed excitedly, and a clone pulled it into its Space World to accelerate cultivation.

Ye Liuyun said to Feng Qiong, "You bring us the power of thunder and fire, and I will provide you with Primordial Power."

Feng Qiong saw no loss; borrowing the Space World's power, Ye Liuyun would replenish it, so it gladly agreed.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun, his clone, Lei Ming, and Zhu Que often had Feng Qiong summon lightning and flame to boost their attributes. Thus these powers advanced Ye Liuyun's cultivation rapidly.

Not long after, Fu Yang returned with his team, bringing the latest movements of the Foreign Tribe.

"They are reinforcing each Xing Xi!" Fu Yang told Yu Xiaofeng and the other Leaders.
