Chapter 2875: Exorcising Demon Xing Xi

"Don't underestimate me! My strength isn't lacking either!" Li Xinran argued.

Ye Liuyun smiled, and instead of handing Li Xinran directly to Ye Tiandao, he first sent her to the canyon of the ancient Secret Realm to refine her body, so that she could reach the central area before proceeding.

Li Daoyuan was kept by Ye Liuyun as a training partner. His Physical Body can fully withstand Li Daoyuan's attacks, and his own attacks can threaten Li Daoyuan without killing him, making them suitable sparring partners.

After leaving the Iron Horn Xing Xi, they did not return by the original route. Li Daoyuan knew of several nearby Xing Xi that also had Unified Realm strongmen, so Ye Liuyun simply led the group along a different path, allowing them to further improve their strength on the way back.

Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin, after gaining an opportunity inside the Secret Realm, had its mass elevated to the peak; after the trials with Li Daoyuan, its mass approached the brink of breakthrough. Moreover, the Monster Beast realms around him had risen considerably, prompting him to accelerate the absorption of Primordial Power.

While absorbing Primordial Power, he also took in the ancient aura, jointly cultivating to enhance his Mysterious Origin.

His clone, within the Space World, accelerated the cultivation of Heaven and Earth Power. If its Mysterious Origin cannot reach the same mass as the original, the two cannot advance realms simultaneously.

Besides cultivating Mysterious Origin, Ye Liuyun also studied Spatial Power under Li Daoyuan. Since his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Power improved, his Spatial Power also rose greatly, and under Li Daoyuan's guidance, his Spatial Power quickly caught up, allowing him to travel at the same speed.

They trained while traveling, and after a little over a month, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil finally sighted the Xing Xi ahead. The Xingqiu in this Xing Xi were relatively bright and numerous, appearing richer in Primordial Power than the Iron Horn Xing Xi, and seemed to bear a faint Golden Light.

"Metallic Primordial Power?" Ye Liuyun asked Li Daoyuan, somewhat puzzled.

"No! This Xing Xi is called the Exorcising Demon Xing Xi. The people here revere the Buddha Way, so many have cultivated Buddha Light Power. According to them, their Primordial Power is tinged with this power, automatically repelling the Demon Race. Thus from afar it looks as if it's coated with a layer of Golden Light.

Indeed, no Demon Race dares to come here. However, the Primordial Power or the Xingqiu here cannot be

taken away by anyone; perhaps this Buddha Light Power truly protects them!

The people here are also generous and peaceful, so large battles rarely erupt, and their numbers are relatively high!"

Li Daoyuan explained to Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also looked over, and indeed there were many people on some Xingqiu.

"Do they have no conflicts among Martial Cultivators?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Of course there are! Wherever there are Martial Cultivators, there are inevitably conflicts, and bandits also exist. However, among the major powers, large-scale wars are rare.

It's a bit like your Space World. Overall the order is good, but individual Martial Cultivator disputes still occur. When they fight, they use the same Buddha Light Power that mirrors Primordial Power, which boosts their combat strength.

For example, here I cannot defeat a Unified Realm Martial Cultivator! Their Buddha Light Power works only on these Xingqiu; outside, it's less useful against Martial Cultivators. However, it is very effective against the Demon Race and Foreign Tribe.

Li Daoyuan had been here before and knew the situation well, patiently explaining it to Ye Liuyun.

"You haven't tried cultivating that Buddha Light Power?" Ye Liuyun asked him again.

Li Daoyuan replied: "I thought I wouldn't reside here permanently; even if I expended effort to cultivate it, it would be of little use once I left, so I didn't cultivate it."

"Let's go check; if it truly is Buddha Light Power, it would be very useful against the Foreign Tribe. Even if we cannot harvest Xingqiu or Primordial Power, we could capture more Martial Cultivators to expand our army!"

Ye Liuyun said, and also released Magic Vine and Black Mountain, letting them experience that Golden Light. They immediately frowned, finding the Golden Light extremely dazzling.

It turned out that Li Daoyuan could not see that Golden Light. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see it without being dazzled, but to the Demon Race, the Golden Light was abnormally blinding, leaving them no desire to approach.

Ye Liuyun then released Lei Ming and a nine-headed demon dragon, with the same result. They all sensed that this Golden Light was their nemesis and did not wish to approach.

"It seems they cannot fight here!" Ye Liuyun immediately withdrew them back into the Space World, letting them return to cultivate.

The others were either absorbing the ancient aura, or refining their bodies, or enhancing their blood

marrow power; Ye Liuyun did not let them out again.

Only Ye Tiandao, having completed body refining but unable to absorb the aura inside the Secret Realm, was released by Ye Liuyun, and together with him and Li Daoyuan, they discreetly rushed toward a Xingqiu.

Other Unified Realm strongmen and those Zhuanzai Ninefold Martial Cultivators were inside Ye Tiandao's Space World; even if danger arose, she could release them to help.

Li Daoyuan used a treasure to alter his aura to Zhuanzai Ninefold, avoiding excessive visibility.

According to him, there are also Unified Realm second-tier Martial Cultivators here, but their numbers are certainly few. As for higher realms, he has never seen any and is unsure whether they exist.

Ye Liuyun scanned ahead with his Golden Pupil and temporarily saw no Unified Realm second or third-tier strongmen; realizing the numbers were low, he felt somewhat reassured.

Their landing site was a deep mountain forest. Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense far away detected a group of Martial Cultivators nearby, sixteen in total, led by a Unified Realm strongman, dressed as Mercenaries.

"If not Mercenaries, then bandits," Ye Liuyun thought, deliberately landing near them to see if they would notice.

Sure enough, they did not disappoint; the group sensed the spatial disturbance and rushed over to investigate.

Li Daoyuan understood Ye Liuyun's strength and knew he deliberately lured those people. Ye Tiandao also noticed the group, but she gave no indication; her focus was solely on Ye Liuyun, and she would simply follow his orders.

When the group arrived, seeing that they all possessed Zhuanzai Jingjie cultivation, they smiled relaxedly and immediately surrounded them.

"So they're bandits!" Ye Liuyun instantly realized the group were not Mercenaries.

"It's good you saw through it. Then there's no need for us to waste words—just hand over your Storage Rings. We only loot wealth and won't harm you!" the bandit leader said directly.

Ye Liuyun scanned the bandits with his Golden Pupil and found that they lacked Buddha Light Power within their bodies.

He also asked Li Daoyuan in surprise: "Didn't you say everyone here has Buddha Light Power? Could they be hiding it?"

"Perhaps they aren't locals!" Li Daoyuan, unable to see inside them, could only speculate.
