Chapter 311

"What if someone comes to challenge me while I'm cultivating?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"The challenge time limit is one shichen. You just need to fight within one shichen. Even if you are cultivating, you have enough time to recover."

"What if the opponent uses a wheel battle, sending a hundred people? Then wouldn't I have to fight a hundred bouts?" Ye Liuyun felt it unfair.

Who would have thought the Metal Puppet would directly reply: "Yes. No matter the situation, you must accept the challenge. Otherwise, it will be considered a forfeit, and you will be sent back to the newcomer area to start over."

Then, the Metal Puppet handed over control of the formation to Ye Liuyun. He could set it as he wished, deciding who could freely enter and exit. Anyone he set to have free access would, if Ye Liuyun lost, suffer the same fate.

After the Metal Puppet left, Ye Liuyun explained to Lin Feier and Mo Ya the treatment of those who were abolished, letting them consider whether to stay.

"Feier, I suggest you stay here! As a woman, unlike Mo Ya, surviving here is truly too dangerous; you might be snatched away by someone else any day. If you truly want to rely on yourself, wait until you become strong, then go seize a mountain peak!"

Before they could make a decision, someone challenged Ye Liuyun from below the mountain.

"You Ye-surname brat, get out here! I was just cultivating, didn't expect you to pick up a bargain. Get out here, old man! If this mountain peak is to be taken, it should be mine!"

A rude man shouted abusively outside Ye Liuyun's mountain peak. Having just finished cultivating, he suddenly saw a newcomer named Ye Liuyun who had replaced the former peak master, so he immediately came to challenge.

Ye Liuyun rushed out directly, a Spiritual Soul Attack crippled him, then he seized his Storage Ring and abolished him.

Originally, a few people nearby were also eager to act, but seeing Ye Liuyun so easily dispose of that man, and his ruthless strike, they hesitated.

Not only did he defeat him, he also looted his belongings and then abolished him!

These people fear most being abolished. Once a Martial Cultivator is abolished, it's practically worse than death! So without certainty, none dare to act against Ye Liuyun. They just wait on the sidelines to watch the spectacle, waiting for others to challenge Ye Liuyun.

After the Metal Puppet dragged away that abolished person, soon another came to challenge. This person's cultivation level was similar to that rude man's, but his Soul was noticeably much stronger.

"Kid! Hand over that woman, and give me the mountain peak, and I won't attack you! Otherwise, you'll be abolished!" Seeing Ye Liuyun's realm, that person became even more emboldened.

"Now there's something to watch! I don't know whose Spiritual Soul Attack is stronger."

The people around chattered excitedly, all in the mood to watch the spectacle.

But the result of this battle was the same. Ye Liuyun abolished him with a single move, then took his Storage Ring.

In this way, Ye Liuyun successively abolished five members at the sixth and seventh layers of Golden Core, thereby subduing them, and gradually they left Ye Liuyun's mountain peak.

"You've also seen that this place is far more brutal than the Sect, with no rules at all. Once abolished, it's eternal damnation!" Ye Liuyun said to the two of them: "But I won't force you; decide for yourselves!"

"I'll stay!" Lin Feier said, her face slightly flushed.

"I'm a man, not in as much danger as Lin Feier! I'll go hang out first; if it doesn't work, I'll come rely on you!" Mo Ya said.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun also had no objection.

Immediately he told them both: "Exchanging resources here is very worthwhile. I'm about to go exchange some, then return to focus on cultivation. Do you two want to come along?"

"Sure!" They both also wanted to go see how the calculation works.

Then, Ye Liuyun opened the mountain peak's formation, adding Lin Feier, allowing her to come and go freely. He then led the two straight to the nearest Grand Hall.

Ye Liuyun had just looted several people's Storage Rings, gaining many more Crystal Cores. Adding to his existing wealth, in the previous battle hunting Corpse Demons, the Crystal Cores obtained by the ferocious beasts all belonged to him. Over two hundred thousand Corpse Demon Army were enough for him to exchange. However, he didn't exchange them all at once.

He first exchanged all the Crystal Cores of the True Essence realm, then exchanged half of the Golden Core realm Crystal Cores and half of the Sea Transformation realm Crystal Cores. In total he exchanged over six hundred portions each of Divine-grade essence blood and the Five Elements' qi.

Lin Feier and Mo Ya saw that it was indeed very worthwhile, and they each exchanged a fair amount. Then everyone returned to cultivate.

Mo Ya found a Cultivation Room and began cultivating. The alliance has a rule that cultivation inside a Cultivation Room cannot be disturbed.

So Ye Liuyun sent Mo Ya into the Cultivation Room; after confirming he was safe, he brought Lin Feier back to the mountain peak.

After returning to the mountain peak, Ye Liuyun arranged Lin Feier's lodging, then entered the Xuan Kong Shi to distribute resources to everyone. First, each person received fifty drops of essence blood and fifty portions of the Five Elements' qi, letting them begin cultivation.

Several women and Monster Beasts, seeing so many resources, couldn't help but become excited, all expressing that next time they go hunt Corpse Demons, they must bring back more Crystal Cores.

They also reported to Ye Liuyun that since entering this place, the spiritual energy inside the Xuan Kong Shi has become denser as well.

Ye Liuyun immediately communicated with the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit told him that any space needs air. The Xuan Kong Shi itself has this function, able to synchronize with the outside air. However, the Xuan Kong Shi has not opened this function to its maximum, so the absorbed spiritual energy is not obvious.

"If we open the function to its maximum, making it exactly the same as outside, then we cultivating inside can also enjoy such dense spiritual energy."

He estimated that there were no experts here, and those Kuailei would not notice an artifact absorbing spiritual energy.

Indeed, when the Xuan Kong Shi began absorbing spiritual energy, it indeed attracted the Kuailei to come check. But after finding nothing unusual, the Kuailei left.

The spiritual energy in this Secret Realm space is so dense that even if a few more of them cultivate, it won't affect others, nor cause a noticeable decrease in spiritual energy.

However, the Xuan Kong Shi has a time lag: the amount absorbed in one day actually equals ten days' worth. To reduce the chance of exposure, Ye Liuyun had three ferocious beasts and three women divided into three groups, each group entering the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate for one day on a rotating basis.

He himself also enters the Xuan Kong Shi once every half day.

After arranging everything, Ye Liuyun then began to truly cultivate.

Ye Liuyun's realm advancement lacks only energy.

Now the spiritual energy is dense, allowing him to absorb freely; of course he soon broke through to the second layer of Golden Core, and everything proceeded naturally.

After the breakthrough, Ye Liuyun felt that the True Essence inside his Golden Core became increasingly solid. Now one can no longer see gelatinous True Essence; rather, the True Essence inside the Golden Core is like sand, still not very firm.
