Chapter 3082: Leader Special Training
Ye Liuyun let his excitement settle a bit, but in the end he couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"Ha ha, Battle God armor, Godslaying Bow, who can still stop me!"
The Zhuanzai Sichong pressure just now, together with Ye Liuyun's laughter, immediately drew his women over, who all asked what had happened. Ye Liuyun explained to them, sharing his joyful mood.
The women were also happy for him and took the chance to let him grill meat in celebration.
Ye Liuyun's excitement hadn't calmed, and he felt he had indeed trained hard lately, so he agreed, treating it as a way to relax.
After relaxing, he didn't forget his power increase and began cultivating the Divine Core again with his clone.
As his realm advanced, the advancement required more time and energy, so he never stopped Divine Core cultivation each day. Even when he rested or cultivated other powers, his Divine Core automatically circulated within his body, slowly enhancing itself.
Ye Liuyun's recent cultivation results were good, and while he was focusing on training, he suddenly received a message from Leader Yu Wenqiang. Yu Wenqiang told Ye Liuyun through the Slave Seal that he had received orders to capture some wandering cultivators to reinforce the front lines, and advised Ye Liuyun not to stay at the inn lest he be taken.
Ye Liuyun told him to immediately send a set of military uniform to the inn so he could blend into the army and continue training quietly. At the same time, he asked Yu Wenqiang: "Is your army still engaged in battles, and who are they fighting?"
Yu Wenqiang replied: "The Fire Seal Dynasty has been contesting resources with neighboring Xing Xi, and most of the army fights abroad, often needing to replenish troops. Each time they both conscript soldiers and capture wandering cultivators, combine them, send them to the Dynasty, sign unified loyalty contracts, and then dispatch them to the battlefield."
"No wonder we don't see large forces here; the Fire Seal Dynasty's strength is indeed formidable!"
Ye Liuyun thought to himself and casually asked: "How many soldiers does the Fire Seal Dynasty send out in total?"
"The regular fighting force is over two million, I guess! Each conscription draws twenty to thirty thousand," Yu Wenqiang estimated.
Ye Liuyun was startled upon hearing that.
He then asked: "Are they all Guiyi
Martial Cultivators?"
"Ordinary soldiers are at the early Guiyi stage, elite soldiers are at the mid Guiyi stage—about thirty percent—while strong ones in the late Guiyi stage are about ten percent,"
Yu Wenqiang said proudly. Although he was under Ye Liuyun's control, he still felt allegiance to the Fire Seal Dynasty and thought it impressive.
After the Fire Seal Dynasty's army went out, it swept everywhere; even when meeting resistance, their losses were small, so each conscription only recruited about ten percent ordinary soldiers. The army's strength kept growing, with more and more strong fighters.
Ye Liuyun thought of this and contacted Yu Xiaofeng, telling him about the Fire Seal Dynasty's army strength.
Yu Xiaofeng was also startled, not expecting such a powerful and numerous army.
"It seems our previous demobilization was premature! Our current forces now have several hundred early Guiyi strong ones, mostly former spearhead unit soldiers. The overall army strength is improving, basically at the Dominant Fifth and Sixth Layers, but compared with the Fire Seal Dynasty, it's still lacking!"
Yu Xiaofeng sighed. Even if they expand the army now, their own cultivation speed can't catch up with the Fire Seal Dynasty.
They don't necessarily want to go to war with the Fire Seal Dynasty, but knowing the other's strength is greater naturally creates a sense of danger.
Later, Yu Wenqiang rushed to the inn, escorted Ye Liuyun back to the camp, and assigned him a private tent so he could cultivate undisturbed.
Ye Liuyun thought it over and also had the Leaders Yu Xiaofeng, Yuan Hao, Qin Peng, Iron Army, and Pei Yong temporarily hand the army's command to their deputies, letting the army train on its own.
The five of them were all brought back to Ye Liuyun's side, along with Hei Shan, the Tiger-Head Beast King, the Orc Tribe's Ha Tu, and the Ancient Demon Tribe's Hei Yan and Sha Ying, and sent to the Secret Realm's Ideation Stone Forest to strengthen themselves and acquire resources.
At the same time, Ye Liuyun also provided them with abundant Primordial Power, Storage Yuan Stones, Exchange Yuan Cauldrons, true‑tier armor and weapons, and began special training.
Hei Yan and Sha Ying have the highest realms, already at Guiyi Fifth Layer. Ye Liuyun instructed them to further refine their ideation, then return to the Ancient Demon Tribe to select over three thousand soldiers of Guiyi Third Layer or higher, form an elite unit, and head to the Crossing Bridge Xing Xi to train and gather resources.
Hei Shan and the Tiger-Head Beast King have just reached Guiyi Second Layer, still lacking strength. Ye Liuyun had them improve their ideation, then return to train with the Demon Race and half‑beasts to raise their realms, eventually selecting three thousand Demon soldiers of Guiyi Third Layer or above. Then Ha Tu of the Orc Tribe would lead a hundred Orcs of Guiyi Third Layer or higher to cooperate, forming another elite unit ready for battle.
These Ancient Demon Tribe and Demon Race forces haven't fallen behind; they've been staying inside the first clone's Space World, where time runs ten times faster.
But Yu Xiaofeng, Yuan Hao and others are only at the Dominant Seventh and Eighth Layers, which is far too low.
Ye Liuyun had them cultivate inside the clone's Space World, sparring with the Demon Race to hone their skills, and once they reach Guiyi Fourth Layer, they would emerge to rebuild a stronger Death Legion.
The pressure on these five isn't small; they must advance to the Fifth and Sixth Layers before emerging again. Yet the clone's Space World accelerates time—one year outside equals ten years inside—so with abundant resources and training partners, spending ten years to reach Guiyi Fourth Layer is manageable.
Ye Liuyun also sent them some overlooked resources for enhancing bloodlines, Soul, and Physical Body. Since their realms are low, these resources suit their cultivation; when they advance, Ye Liuyun will provide even higher‑level materials.
Yu Xiaofeng originally suggested that Ye Liuyun go to the Crossing Bridge Xing Xi to capture some soldiers and first form a corps, but Ye Liuyun still decided to annihilate the Crossing Bridge Xing Xi.
"There will always be such strong ones in the future; let the Crossing Bridge Xing Xi remain a training ground for the Ancient Demon Tribe and others. They also need more resources to improve! Moreover, it's full of bandits, hard to manage."
Thus, under Ye Liuyun's arrangement, these Leaders began special training. The Ancient Demon Tribe's Hei Yan and Sha Ying lacked much combat and drill experience, so Yu Xiaofeng spent some time assisting them in selecting and training troops.
Ye Liuyun also used this period to sense the Ideation of Heaven and Earth Power. However, that ideation was similar to the grand trends he had previously comprehended, offering no particular surprise.
Ye Liuyun also took advantage of this time to feel the artistic conception of Heaven and Earth Power. However, that artistic conception was roughly the same as the Heavenly Earth trend he had previously comprehended, and it didn't give Ye Liuyun a particularly big surprise.
