Chapter 2881: Slow Progress

Ye Liuyun continues the Soul Search, and also learned more information from the Sea of Consciousness of Wan Cong Mountain.

The area they are in is near this planet's Primordial Power. At the same time, there are two other training teams from the Tang Family and the An Family present here.

The three teams cooperate: one team guards the outside, the other two go to kill the foreign Martial Cultivator teams, alternating their advance and coordinating. After exterminating those people, they also excavate and take away some Golden Light Crystal Stones.

However, Ye Liuyun and his two companions are not even considered a Martial Cultivator team, and Wan Cong Mountain had not paid them any attention before. So they had not yet had time to inform those two teams.

All the uninhabited planets of the Demon‑driving Star System have been protected by the four great families, becoming hunting grounds for their training disciples. Near the Primordial Power here lies a Formation set up by the Wan Family. Only Wan Family disciples can activate that Formation and excavate Golden Light Crystal Stones.

According to Wan Cong Mountain, these planets can be taken by those who possess Buddha Light Power. However, the locals would never claim these planets or extract the Primordial Power, lest they damage the integrity of their star system.

Ye Liuyun thinks Wan Cong Mountain still has great use, so instead of killing him, he placed him into the Space World.

"Good thing this guy came voluntarily; otherwise, if we accidentally killed him, finding the Primordial Power would be even harder!" (source: Biquku)

Ye Liuyun feels relieved, and proceeds forward with Li Daoyuan and Ye Tiandao. He takes the Golden Light Crystal Stones stored in the Wan Family disciples' Storage Rings and gives them to Li Daoyuan, letting him absorb them while moving.

The Yuan Dan of those Wan Family disciples, Ye Liuyun gives them to Lei Ming and Hei Shan, letting them absorb the Buddha Light Power within.

Lei Ming had cultivated the Buddha Demon Golden Body with Ye Liuyun back on Cangyun Continent. Now that Buddha Light resources are abundant, Ye Liuyun simply lets Lei Ming practice the mutual transformation of Buddha Demon Power, gaining some survival skills.

Hei Shan is also a key cultivation target for Ye Liuyun; he teaches him the transformation method of Buddha Demon Power, so Hei Shan's body also carries Buddha Light Power, making him more effective when later fighting the Foreign Tribe.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun returns to the clone's Space World to recover Mysterious Origin, then summons the clone for battle.

The clone, having not gone far, sees six Martial Cultivators fleeing in panic

and rushing over. These six are at the Dominating Eight‑Nine Levels realm, clearly not strong. The clone and Ye Tiandao, without a word, raise their hands and kill.

"Stop fighting, the Tang Family team is catching up!" shouts a Martial Cultivator opposite.

The clone's Divine Sense had already spotted a Martial Cultivator team pursuing them from behind, led by a Unified Realm strongman.

Nevertheless, he paid no mind, and together with Ye Tiandao took down three. When some tried to flee, Li Daoyuan released a pressure aura, blocking them until all were slain.

The Martial Cultivator team from the Tang Family pursuing them also felt Li Daoyuan's imposing aura,

yet the leading Martial Cultivator did not retreat; instead, eyes full of battle intent, he charged forward.

He thought it was a rare chance to meet a worthy opponent and didn't want to miss it. The other Tang Family disciples also immediately engaged the clone and Ye Tiandao, saying nothing, and were far more straightforward than the Wan Family group.

Their combat power seemed considerably stronger than the Wan Family group. However, having just fought, their True Essence was somewhat lacking. Even so, after the clone eliminated four Dominating Eight‑Nine Levels disciples, his Mysterious Origin was depleted, forcing him to use the Mysterious Origin within the Storage Yuan Stone. His Heaven and Earth Power is not as strong as Ye Liuyun's, so he must rely on further consumption of Mysterious Origin to compensate for attack strength. (source: Biquku)

After the Mysterious Origin in the Storage Yuan Stone was exhausted, he could only draw out Heaven Devour, slashing the remaining Tang Family disciples to end the battle.

The three of them then surrounded that Tang Family Unified Realm disciple. The disciple, named Tang Xiao, is an elite of the Tang Family, possessing strong personal power and extensive combat experience.

His strength already surpassed Li Daoyuan's; under the boost of Buddha Light Power, he even

pressed Li Daoyuan in combat. Ye Liuyun watched for a while, then let Li Daoyuan train further before activating Divine Soul Power to subdue Tang Xiao.

Ye Liuyun now knows that when going to those uninhabited planets to approach the Primordial Power, the disciples of the ten great families are needed as keys to activate the Formation, so they naturally won't be killed all.

Moreover, the disciples of these great families are truly strong; keeping them will be more effective against the Foreign Tribe later.

After cleaning up the battlefield, they did not immediately advance, but returned to the clone's Space

World to accelerate recovery. Only Ye Tiandao was left outside, letting her release some Unified Realm strongmen to guard here.

After Ye Liuyun's and the clone's Mysterious Origin fell out of sync, their combat frequency noticeably dropped; after each fight they each had to cultivate their own Mysterious Origin, no longer able to have one cultivate while the other fights.

One day later, after Ye Liuyun and Li Daoyuan fully recovered, they continued forward. Yet in subsequent battles, after each fight they had to pause and rest. Even when facing Martial Cultivators without Buddha Light Power, their victories were not easy.

Ye Liuyun and the clone almost exhausted their Mysterious Origin each battle. Li Daoyuan also suffered some depletion each fight, and Ye Liuyun always let him recover before continuing.

During Ye Liuyun's cultivation period, Ye Tiandao also led some Unified Realm strongmen in a battle, exterminating a Martial Cultivator team.

Half a month later, Ye Liuyun's party finally reached the location of the Primordial Power. At this moment his Divine Sense also noticed that the An Family's Martial Cultivators were being besieged from all sides by three Martial Cultivator teams.

The An Family's Martial Cultivators, in their haste this time, were simultaneously spotted by the three teams, who rushed together to annihilate them. Both local and foreign Martial Cultivators turned hostile the instant they met.

Even if the An Family's group were strong, they could not hold out long against a three‑to‑one. They immediately sought aid from Tang Xiao and Wan Cong Mountain, but received no response.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun promptly ordered the clone, Tang Xiao, and Wan Cong Mountain to join the fight, and also let Ye Tiandao release many Unified Realm strongmen.

"Exterminate all these Martial Cultivators. The An Family strongman is mine! Kill!" he commanded, leading everyone to charge forward.

Both sides in the battle were bewildered, not knowing whom they were supporting. When these people rushed in, they ended up fighting both sides.

The An Family's leading strongman is a woman; Ye Liuyun knows her name is An Ran. At first

【42】 after spotting Tang Xiao and Wan Cong Mountain, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she did not expect Tang Xiao and Wan Cong Mountain to simultaneously strike at

【43】 her.

【44】 "What are you two doing?" she asked, bewildered, defending while shouting.

【45】 Ye Liuyun, seizing the moment she was focused on Tang Xiao and Wan Cong Mountain, thrust his Divine Soul into her Sea of Consciousness, planting it directly and taking control of her.
