Chapter 2849: Absorbing Mysterious Qi

After Ye Liuyun landed, he gave Qiong Qi a general briefing of the situation here, noting that the Formation still required his intervention. Then he had everyone start cultivating to adapt to the transformation of Mysterious Qi.

Their current position is not far from the Secret Realm's entrance, and he can monitor it with his powerful Soul; as soon as Li Xinran enters, he will be able to detect it.

But with their Soul power, they cannot see Ye Liuyun, allowing him to observe their strength from the shadows and prepare to strike.

The many Monster Beasts scattered to the fierce‑beast territories they occupied to cultivate, not gathering with Ye Liuyun. If so many of them absorb the Mysterious Qi here too aggressively, it would create a vortex of airflow, drawing Martial Cultivators and fierce beasts to investigate.

Yet when Ye Liuyun concentrates on cultivation, it still triggers a Mysterious Qi vortex that whirls into his body. His Mysterious Origin, like a drought finally meeting sweet dew, had not absorbed Mysterious Qi for a long time, so he greedily replenishes it at every chance.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command does not absorb slower than Ye Liuyun; when he began cultivating, it also accelerated its absorption. Moreover, his Space World was also absorbing. Thus three vortexes swirled before Ye Liuyun, continuously drawing Mysterious Qi into his body.

Fortunately, he regulated the intake of his Mysterious Origin and Space World, and the Ten Thousand Gods Command also knew to restrain itself, so the vortices caused no noticeable disturbance and did not alert the Martial Cultivators here.

His clone, farther from Ye Liuyun, also had two similar vortices continuously feeding into it. Purple Qilin sensed this aura, immediately emerged to absorb directly, as it also greatly enjoys the atmosphere here.

Other Monster Beasts also have some members absorbing Mysterious Qi into their Space Worlds, but they all control the absorption rate. Their cultivation and absorption are calm and do not cause as much commotion as Ye Liuyun's.

Crimson, Little Blue Ice, Hunting Falcon, and Black Tiger, after a short while, could no longer absorb. Qiong Qi, Vermilion Bird, Bai Hu, Lei Ming, and Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon are still straining to absorb and can cultivate a bit longer.

Only Shi Yuan, Long Nv, Black Mountain, and Purple Qilin continue to cultivate continuously with Mysterious Qi.

Some fierce beasts in the Secret Realm that are more sensitive to Mysterious Qi rushed over to investigate, and Ye Liuyun ordered the non‑cultivating Monster Beasts and the others to surround and attack them, making those

beasts have no way back. Magic Vine took on the task of protecting them, preventing them from being attacked by the strong.

Ye Liuyun kept cultivating; he found that his Mysterious Origin Quality rose rapidly after merging with Mysterious Qi. Once his Mysterious Origin was fully cultivated, the Primordial Pill could no longer absorb.

Ye Liuyun then swapped the Mysterious Origin from the Storage Yuan Stone, upgraded all of its quality, and only then stopped cultivating. However, he slightly increased the absorption speed of the Space World.

He also realized his Space World is far too vast; the small amount of Mysterious Qi entering gets so diluted it's almost as if none entered.

So he thought and took a Secret Realm specifically, pouring Mysterious Qi into that Secret Realm to prevent it from dissipating. His method also prompted other Monster Beasts that needed Mysterious Qi to immediately copy it. The Monster Beasts that didn't need Mysterious Qi made no effort. Penquku

These people absorbed all night; before dawn, Ye Liuyun sensed that the Mysterious Qi around them had become noticeably thinner.

He immediately ordered everyone to temporarily stop absorbing.

"We still have time later; before we leave we must make sure everyone has absorbed enough. Let's pause for now, so the more sensitive Martial Cultivators don't notice us."

The others, hearing this, also stopped. The Ten Thousand Gods Command slowed its absorption speed, making the vortex invisible, yet it did not cease absorbing. Ye Liuyun could do nothing about it and could only let it be.

After they stopped, new Mysterious Qi quickly replenished. The Secret Realm's Primordial Power continuously releases this Mysterious Qi to compensate for loss. As long as the Primordial Power is not exhausted, Mysterious Qi will keep being generated here.

"If only we could take away this place's Primordial Power!" Qiong Qi said, then looked at Ye Liuyun. Long Nv and Shi Yuan and the other Monster Beasts also looked earnestly at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun understood their meaning and replied, "We'll see; try to seize the whole Secret Realm if possible!"

Now Shi Yuan and the other Monster Beasts that especially liked this place were all delighted.

Purple Qilin also stopped returning to cultivate, staying outside with the others. Even just breathing this Mysterious Qi makes it feel comfortable.

"It seems that in the bloodlines of Shi Yuan, Long Nv, Black Mountain, and Purple Qilin, there are still some ancient memories

…whereas in the bloodlines of Lei Ming, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, Qiong Qi and others, such memories are far fewer," Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

Yet after these Monster Beasts absorbed Mysterious Qi, their True Essence Quality all increased to varying degrees. Especially Purple Qilin, who has been cultivating within its clone's Space World; its realm had already reached the Sevenfold Sovereign. After absorbing Mysterious Qi, its True Essence Quality improved further, and it estimates it will soon break through to the Eightfold Sovereign.

At dawn, Ye Liuyun gathered the Monster Beasts and the women into the Space World, leaving only Purple Qilin and Lei Ming outside. He himself swapped the Alchemist's clothes, put the Invisibility Cloak on his clone, and leaned against the Secret Realm's entrance.

Li Xinran also brought her ten guards and went early to meet Li Daoyuan.

Li Daoyuan assigned her forty strong ones of the Unity Realm, including two Martial Cultivators; one, Lin Qing'ao, is Li Daoyuan's chief strategist who constantly devises harmful schemes, and the other, Pang Yuan, is his enforcer who helps him slaughter low‑realm Martial Cultivator families, acting with great cruelty.

Li Xinran was quite satisfied with Li Daoyuan's arrangement, thinking she could take the chance to eliminate those two scourges. She told Li Daoyuan and then led her party away. Penquku

Lin Qing'ao and Pang Yuan knew Li Xinran's temperament and that she disapproved of their behavior, so they dared not try to flatter her, instead silently trailing behind her as they left Li Daoyuan's mansion.

Their party moved in silence and soon entered the Secret Realm.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun discovered them and, via the Slave Seal, informed Li Xinran that he had seen them, telling her to keep exploring the Secret Realm's core and do whatever is needed, without worrying about his methods.

Li Xinran, receiving Ye Liuyun's order, originally intended to acclimate a bit to the heavy pressure here, but realizing that if Lin Qing'ao's group adapted, Ye Liuyun's actions would become inconvenient, she immediately led everyone deeper into the Secret Realm.

Lin Qing'ao kindly reminded Li Xinran to slow down a bit, but Li Xinran ignored him, and they had no choice but to follow.

"Where have all the fierce beasts gone? There used to be many here!"

Lin Qing'ao didn't walk far before noticing the problem. After they entered, there were no fierce beasts attacking them.
