Chapter 2847: Primeval Secret Realm

"You gave me all these treasures; what will you do during this period?" Li Xinran deliberately probed Li Daoyuan's background.

"No problem; lately Fang Sihai hasn't had any news. I can first use other treasures that defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks. Actually my Divine Soul Power has increased a lot recently, and I'm not far behind Fang Sihai either."

As for this dragon lizard armor, I forged two sets back then; one was originally set aside for you, intending to give it to you when you break through to the Unified Realm. Consider it an early gift now.

But these two treasures, don't reveal them until a critical moment, lest someone covet them and strike you from the shadows. Your current realm is low; you can't guard these treasures yet.

Li Daoyuan didn't think much, honestly told Li Xinran, and also reminded her not to expose the treasures.

"How did your Divine Soul Power increase? Did you devour someone else's Soul?" Li Xinran immediately asked.

"My affairs don't need your meddling! Hurry down and prepare; I also need to arrange people with you. You all set out first thing tomorrow morning!"

Li Daoyuan was originally quite pleased; it was rare for Li Xinran to chat with him for half a day without retorting. Unexpectedly, he let something slip, and not wanting to argue with Li Xinran, he simply drove her out.

Li Xinran also knew it wasn't the time to argue with Li Daoyuan; he wouldn't listen to reason now. She continued to follow her own plan.

So this time she didn't say much to Li Daoyuan, and went straight back to report to Ye Liu Yan.

In fact, Ye Liuyun had already learned the whole affair through the Slave Seal. He was glad he hadn't rashly acted against Li Daoyuan; otherwise, with his Soul‑binding Bell, Ye Liuyun would have found it hard to place a Slave Seal on him.

Li Xinran expressed concern over Li Daoyuan's increased Divine Soul Power and the additional dragon lizard armor, fearing Ye Liuyun wouldn't be able to subdue Li Daoyuan.

Ye Liuyun comforted her briefly, telling her to take it slow, then he preemptively asked the Alchemist Alliance for leave, claiming he needed to go into the Primeval Secret Realm to gather medicinal herbs.

Alchemists, besides pill‑refining, can also count gathering herbs as fulfilling Alchemist Alliance missions. They even encourage Alchemists to explore herb‑rich areas, hoping they might bring back rare herbs, so the Alchemist Alliance promptly approved it, with nobody caring about his safety or life.

On the contrary, Li Xinran proactively told him the dangers inside, so he could take precautions.

"The ambient spiritual energy is thin inside; you must prepare cultivation resources, otherwise True Essence will be hard to recover. Moreover, the gravity there is immense— even a Unified Realm strongman would find it difficult to fly inside..."

Lin Xinran gave Ye Liuyun a long list of precautions, then went to make preparations herself.

It was only then that Ye Liuyun realized Li Xinran didn't have a faulty mind; she was simply overly kind‑hearted, had little contact with outside Martial Cultivators, lacked experience, and was unaware of the harshness of the external martial world.

She had never even doubted Ye Liuyun's words, wasn't worried about being controlled by him, and never imagined Ye Liuyun would use the Slave Seal against her. She simply didn't know the treachery of human nature and had no defensive mindset.

Ye Liuyun never believed good people get good rewards; he merely sighed that Li Xinran was lucky to have met him.

He didn't wait for Li Xinran; instead, he rushed to the Secret Realm overnight. He wanted to go in early to adapt, making it easier to act later. Biquku

At the Secret Realm entrance, three Unified Realm strongmen stood nearby, using Divine Sense to monitor Martial Cultivators entering and exiting. When they saw Ye Liuyun in Alchemist robes, they assumed he was a clumsy Alchemist going in to gather herbs and did not block him.

These strongmen were placed here by Li Daoyuan to watch the Martial Cultivators who slipped inside. So they didn't pay much attention to those who entered, only keeping an eye out so they wouldn't fail to recognize them upon exit.

However, regarding Ye Liuyun's Sixfold Sovereign realm, they were skeptical, thinking he might not be able to get out after entering. This Primeval Secret Realm is fraught with danger; Martial Cultivators below the Sovereign of the Ninth Layer dare not go in alone.

Ye Liuyun noticed they hadn't blocked him, which eased his mind a bit. Otherwise he would have had to subdue them. He guessed those three strongmen definitely had a Divine Soul Contract with Li Daoyuan; if any trouble arose, Li Daoyuan would notice.

Even if he entered the Secret Realm immediately, Li Daoyuan would assume it was a Martial Cultivator inside acting, and would strengthen defenses here. When he emerged again, it would take some effort.

Thus Ye Liuyun entered the Secret Realm smoothly, but as soon as he stepped inside, the overwhelming pressure startled him.

Here

The pressure here is indeed terrifying; if his Physical Body weren't robust, he might not even be able to straighten his back.

"In this situation, don't even talk about flying; even walking is laborious. No wonder Li Xinran told me I need to adapt before I can move normally."

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, standing still, adapting to the pressure while surveying the surroundings.

The flora here are gigantic, reminiscent of the Primeval Secret Realms he had seen before. The atmosphere is also similar to those realms. Spiritual energy is scarce, but Mysterious Qi is abundant. The Ten Thousand Gods Command, once it entered here, began voraciously absorbing the local aura.

Ye Liuyun recalled past experience, releasing Monster Beasts such as Lei Ming, Long Nv, Shi Yuan, and even Qiong Qi and Black Tiger.

These Monster Beasts love the local aura, which helps them strengthen. With them around, Ye Liuyun felt much safer, avoiding encounters with ferocious beasts he couldn't defeat.

He still hadn't fully adapted to the pressure, so any attack would likely be affected.

"This Primeval Secret Realm is far older than the Blood Thunder Peak you entered when you first started training at the Sacred Martial Academy!" Qiong Qi said after sensing it.

"Does greater antiquity mean heavier pressure?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi's realm, like Lei Ming's and others, is also Sixfold Sovereign. He usually assists with forging, and Ye Liuyun has never been short of providing him resources; he doesn't need to source them himself.

"Indeed! And the Mysterious Qi is even richer!" Qiong Qi confirmed.

Ye Liuyun also felt his internal core pill vigorously absorbing the Mysterious Qi here, integrating it into his Mysterious Origin.

He hadn't absorbed Mysterious Qi for a long time, so now the intake merely replenishes his Mysterious Origin, mixing with True Essence to improve its quality, without advancing his realm.

Lei Ming and the other ferocious Monster Beasts found their movements somewhat hindered by the pressure, hastening to adapt. The Vermilion Bird and Hunting Falcon tested flight. The pressure here barely affects avian flight, but their energy consumption multiplied.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power and Golden Pupil were hardly affected; he released his Divine Sense and looked off in a direction.

"Prepare for battle!" he immediately warned the group.
