Chapter 329: Elite Multiplication

The Iron Army exclaimed excitedly to Ye Liuyun, "Thanks to you, we can advance so quickly!"

"Now the disciples of Lingyun Pavilion are the fastest‑advancing group in the Saint Martial Academy! They've become synonymous with elite geniuses, and many have been taken as direct disciples by the Elders. All thanks to you!"

"Indeed! Our realms have risen rapidly, attracting the Academy's attention; most disciples have already entered the Inner Gate."

Ye Liuyun only now noticed that everyone present had switched into Inner Gate attire. Han Feng, Leng Yue, Qi Tianyue, Nan Xin'er and others had all entered the Inner Gate.

Their realms have all risen by three or four stages. Lin Xueying's realm has even reached Sea Transformation, eighth stage. Their speed is already considered a miracle within the Academy!

Ye Liuyun also expressed his happiness. "Then congratulations! But don't become complacent. The resources I give you this time are for refining bloodlines and body cultivation, to make up for your shortcomings. You must absorb and refine them quickly. Once the foundation is solid, your future progress will be faster!"

"Now our bloodline power can be enhanced, and the deficiencies in body cultivation can be remedied!" The group's gratitude toward Ye Liuyun overflowed.

They tried to say more words of thanks, but Ye Liuyun stopped them!

"Hold it, stop being so sappy! Between brothers we don't need such politeness. Cultivate earnestly, don't waste the resources, that will repay my goodwill! I'm still waiting to conquer the world with you! Don't keep me waiting too long!"

"Haha! Rest assured! We'll catch up with you soon!" The group smiled and made the promise.

Immediately, Ye Liuyun did not linger and headed straight for the Ye Clan.

His Flying Boat was swift; in less than a day he arrived at the Royal City of Tianyun.

The Ye Clan now flourishes far more than before, having become a vast, prosperous great family.

After meeting the Ancestor and the Clan Chief, Ye Liuyun discussed the cultivation status of the younger generation with them.

The Clan Chief explained, "Since we started using the resources you sent back earlier, many members of the Ye Clan have entered the Saint Martial Academy and the Tianyun Dynasty. Their bloodline power and realms have seen considerable improvement. Moreover, their weapons are superior to ordinary ones, so they stand out. And now no one is targeting them, so development is good."

"Have any bullies or miscreants appeared?" Ye Liuyun's most worrying scenario.

The Ancestor of the Ye Clan sighed, "So far none yet! This generation of youths rose from the bottom, so their conduct is good. But we can't guarantee the next generation; large families inevitably have this common flaw."

Ye Liuyun nodded; regarding such matters, one can only try to avoid them. Once a family's power reaches a certain level, such bullying youths will inevitably appear.

But refusing to let the family grow for fear of that is impossible. In the martial world, lacking strength means being at the mercy of others; the same applies to family power.

In the end, Ye Liuyun handed the resources he held to the Ye Clan Ancestor, letting him allocate them as he saw fit.

The Ye Clan Ancestor also understood Ye Liuyun's intent, fearing that the Ye Clan might become a despised, self‑destructive family if its members bully others.

"Rest assured, I understand your intention and will select well‑behaved Ye Clan youths for cultivation, not judging solely by realm or strength!" the Ancestor guaranteed.

Ye Liuyun also knew that he had done all he could; the rest depended on the Ye Clan themselves.

After bidding farewell to the Ye Clan Ancestor and Clan Chief, Ye Liuyun went to visit the Prince of Tianyun.

The two discussed the recent situation of the Tianyun Dynasty.

The Prince said, "The Tianyun Dynasty is developing well, and regions everywhere recognize us. However, the Corpse Demon side shows a resurgence. Our royal strength is still too weak; relying solely on the Sect(s) is not as convenient as commanding our own people. I am trying to recruit experts, but building mutual trust will still take time."

Ye Liuyun nodded. This is a normal phenomenon in dynastic transitions; it cannot be rushed. So he gave all the resources he could not use to the Prince.

These resources are useless to him, but for the Prince they are urgently needed. The Golden Armor Guard's reserve camp is being rebuilt and greatly needs such supplies.

"The Golden Armor Guard's reserve camp has been reestablished and is developing well. Would you like to take a look?" the Prince asked Ye Liuyun.

"I won't go this time; I have only one day and must rush back to the Academy. But I can leave a small gift as congratulations on the camp's reconstruction!"

Ye Liuyun left several portions of divine‑grade essence blood as a gift.

The Prince has always valued bloodlines; receiving this was, of course, like finding a treasure.

But Ye Liuyun also knew these resources could hardly make a difference. He needed a plan that would both boost the Tianyun Dynasty's strength and motivate everyone to eradicate the Corpse Demon.

He then suggested to the Prince, "In the future, if you have Corpse Demon Crystal Cores at the Golden Core realm or Sea Transformation realm, you can give them to me in exchange for this divine‑grade essence blood. You can also issue a bounty across the realm, encouraging people to hunt Corpse Demons. This would ease the pressure on the border defense army!"

"Excellent! This is a win‑win! You've really helped me a lot!" the Prince's eyes lit up, extremely excited.

"Prince, don't be formal; it's what I ought to do." Ye Liuyun still addressed him as Prince, showing he hadn't forgotten old ties.

The Prince was deeply moved. Given Ye Liuyun's current strength, there was no need for such courtesy. Ye Liuyun's actions fully demonstrate he is a person who repays gratitude.

He also felt fortunate that he had valued Ye Liuyun from the start. Otherwise, Ye Liuyun's help might never have come; perhaps he would still be evading the Great Zhou Dynasty's pursuit on the border.

He also knew that what Ye Liuyun had done for him was already plenty, so he never bothered Ye Liuyun with matters.

The two talked a while longer, then Ye Liuyun returned to the Saint Martial Academy. After arriving, he immediately ingested a Floating‑Space Pill and comprehended Spatial Power.

Spatial Power is the most difficult of all forces to master. It is exceedingly ethereal and elusive. Even many mortal Martial Cultivators doubt its existence.

But once mastered, it becomes immensely powerful. Not only can one's form and attacks merge with it, one can even forge one's own spatial secret realm.
