Chapter 3069: Secret Realm Suppression

Just as the realm breakthrough occurred, Ye Liuyun and his two clones also took the pills together; the First Clone took four pills that refined various strengths, taking a bit longer, but the effect was not much different from Ye Liuyun's and the Second Clone's.

The Bone‑Marrow Purifying Pill of the True Ninth Layer uses ingredients and refining methods completely different from previous Bone‑Marrow Purifying Pills, and Ye Liuyun has no tolerance to the medicine. Thus the refining effect of these pills is very pronounced, expelling the impurities in his Divine Soul, Blood Meridian, Physical Body and Divine Core one by one.

"The effect of this medicine is truly remarkable!"

Ye Liuyun immediately decided that he must obtain some of these pills for everyone else as well.

He rarely takes pills, so the impurities in his body are certainly fewer than others', yet under the action of these pills, many impurities were still expelled.

He himself had not expected that there were so many impurities in his various powers. He also knows that after this impurity removal, his future advancement will be faster, and all his powers will become more refined.

After using the pills, Ye Liuyun felt completely relaxed and in a very pleasant mood, but after glancing at his Primordial Core, he immediately resumed cultivation.

Now the Divine Core within his Primordial Core is less than half of its original; the Divine Core that was condensed when he first broke through the realm was condensed again after the Bone‑Marrow Purifying Pill removed impurities, so his current Divine Core has a huge void.

Thus he began continuously loading Primordial Power into the Transformation Cauldron, absorbing all the energy stored in the Storage Yuan Stone, preparing to later input Guiyi Fourth Layer Divine Core.

But even so, he still absorbed a considerable amount of power from the Transformation Cauldron, just to fully replenish the Divine Core in his Primordial Core.

Later he replenished the Storage Yuan Stone again; when it was full, he estimated that the Divine Core inside would only last him six or seven uses, yet he alone had already consumed over four hundred units of Primordial Power.

"My power has increased, but the consumption is greater too!"

Ye Liuyun is helpless about this astonishing consumption. He now dares not imagine how much Primordial Power would be needed to fill his Primordial Core once he reaches the Taixu realm.

He reserves the Xing Xi Primordial Power for emergency Divine Core replenishment; when he has time, he uses other Primordial Power as his energy source.

"Resources still need to be stockpiled!"

Ye Liuyun immediately decided that after the Second Clone sweeps the Duqiao Xing Xi with the others, they will still need to gather more resources in the Fire Seal Xing Xi to stockpile for future realm advancements.

He will not be courteous when entering the He Secret Realm this time; if the chance arises, he will certainly loot it extensively. The He family knows that sending guards in is a death sentence, yet they still send guards to sacrifice, so he holds no good impression of the He.

Ye Liuyun had just filled his Storage Yuan Stone, and the day arrived for He Lingwu to enter the Secret Realm. Even though Ye Liuyun's Divine Core cultivates quickly, this time it took nearly one hundred and fifty days. Without the time acceleration of the Duplicate Space World, his cultivation time would have been insufficient.

On the day of the gathering, Ye Liuyun transformed into the appearance of He Lingwu's guard, using the Thousand Illusion Technique to uphold a Guiyi Sixth Layer realm. Though the consumption was higher, it would not arouse suspicion, so he could only endure.

All He disciples each brought two guards, all of them full of anticipation.

Those guards all wore mournful faces, yet could not resist.

These guards were basically forced to sign Master‑Servant Contracts; even if they didn't want to go, they had to. The other guard of He Lingwu was the one Ye Liuyun forcibly dragged along.

Ye Liuyun was originally also looking forward to it, but upon seeing the other guards' expressions, he also put on the same demeanor, standing quietly within the ranks, waiting to enter the Secret Realm.

An Elder of the He family said little, and directly led them to a Secret Realm entrance deep within the clan, letting them go in on their own.

The He family truly knows little about this Secret Realm; they don't even know whether, after entering, these people will be teleported together. Everything relies on the disciples themselves to explore.

After Ye Liuyun followed He Lingwu into the Secret Realm, he found that no one was beside him.

"It seems this Secret Realm transports separately!"

He immediately realized, and began releasing his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil to survey the situation inside the Secret Realm.

The clone is already inside the Space World, ready to transmit the Black Tower, prepared for immediate teleportation. However, he noticed that after entering, no one was controlling it, and felt this place was not someone else's Space World.

Just by the size of the surrounding trees, he realized this could be part of the Archaic World; the Secret Realm has little spiritual energy but abundant mystic qi. He estimates that others wishing to restore True Essence here would need to use their own brought‑in Primordial Power, but Ye Liuyun would not be affected at all.

But he immediately felt that his Blood Meridian and Divine Soul Power were clearly suppressed here.

The Guiyi Sixth Layer realm he upheld with the Thousand Illusion Technique was instantly suppressed back to his original realm. Even his Divine Core showed signs of suppression, as if his realm were being lowered. His Physical Body also felt gravitational suppression.

"Is this specifically suppressing outsiders, or does it suppress He disciples as well?"

Ye Liuyun guessed internally, first circulating his Blood Meridian within his body to resist the local Blood Meridian suppression, then circulating his Divine Core through his Meridians to counter the realm suppression.

For the suppression of Divine Soul and Physical Body, he had often practiced this heavy pressure before, so although he felt unable to exert his full strength, he could still reach about eighty to ninety percent.

However, these are merely power suppressions; there seems to be no one in this Secret Realm who can control him, so he felt a bit relieved.

At the same time, he used the Slave Seal to contact He Lingwu and learn his situation.

He Lingwu also felt the suppression, but according to his description, the Secret Realm's suppressive effect on him was minimal. He only found absorbing spiritual energy very arduous, having to rely on his own carried Primordial Power to restore True Essence.

Ye Liuyun did not rush to call him over to align with him; after understanding the situation, he released the First Clone, Snow Wolf, Metal Puppet, and Leng Yuan to see their reactions.

The clone's condition was similar to Ye Liuyun's, but Snow Wolf felt the suppression markedly, especially its Divine Soul Power, which lost about half its attack potency. Its realm and Physical Body now only equated to a Guiyi Seventh Layer strength.

Leng Yuan's situation was also similar to Snow Wolf's, but his Divine Soul Power was stronger, so his Divine Soul Attack still functioned. Only the Metal Puppet was completely unaffected, though its energy consumption doubled.

Having gathered the data, Ye Liuyun recalled them all, leaving only the clone to train with him.

The clone instantly drew the Heavenly Devourer and charged toward a Black Panther.

Their Divine Sense already detected that a Black Panther had fixed its gaze on them and was rushing toward them. Ye Liuyun also instantly drew the Demon Slaying Sword, dashing along the Black Panther's flank.
