Chapter 3431: Tier Advancement

Ye Liuyun spent five or six days cultivating inside the Space World; the two Fire Spirits had only refined a little of the Repair Heaven Stone, just enough for him to forge two Storage Rings.

Ye Liuyun was also quite surprised; with his Fire Spirit's strength, it was still refining so slowly: "This stuff is really hard to refine, no wonder some Artifact Refining Masters avoid this material—it's just too difficult! I'll test its effect first!"

So he first used the refined liquid to condense a Storage Ring, then refined in other materials.

Then he had the Heavenly Fire Ancestor help inscribe mutually sensing formations inside the two Storage Rings. He thought that when he later went on missions with Chen Yueying, danger was inevitable. With the mutual sensing function, even if they were separated, he could locate her at any time, making it easier to protect her.

After the rings were forged, Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied. Though they looked very ordinary and had no tier, their function was extremely powerful.

Besides sensing each other's positions, the rings were resistant to attacks and fire. Their space was large enough to hold several cities, could contain living beings, and, like the Space World, had prison‑isolating capabilities.

He immediately gave one of the rings to Chen Yueying. Chen Yueying was also delighted; without waiting for Ye Liuyun to explain the functions, she promptly swapped her own Storage Ring and moved everything into the new one.

After Ye Liuyun told her the ring could sense each other's positions, she became even happier: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of it."

Ye Liuyun replied: "This ring is made from Repair Heaven Stone, especially sturdy and fire‑proof. I've already tested it; it can't be broken, so you don't need to be extra careful.

The reason I didn't make its exterior look too fancy is that I was worried it would attract too much attention and be impractical. As long as you don't mind, that's fine!"

Chen Yueying, cheeks flushed, lowered her head and whispered: "Hmm, the thing you gave me, how could I possibly dislike it!"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit awkward: "I hope this girl isn't misunderstanding me, right?"

"Um… how's the gilded armor refining going?" He had to change the subject.

"The refiner has already been found and will forge it for us as soon as possible. I've already sent those clothes over. It may still need a few days to refine, so you can go back and cultivate while you wait," Chen Yueying replied.

"Alright, then I'll go back to cultivate!" Ye Liuyun didn't dare linger, and rushed back to the Cultivation Room to train, lest the two remain awkward.

Seeing Ye Liuyun dash off to cultivate, Chen Yueying couldn't help but smile: "You fool, you won't even take the chance to say something nice!"

After a brief chuckle, she also hurried back to cultivate, fearing her strength would fall behind Ye Liuyun's. She also thought that during missions she could help him more.

Another thirty‑plus days passed in Ye Liuyun's Space World; as more of the Repair Heaven Stone was refined, the refining speed kept increasing.

Ye Liuyun first placed the Demon Slaying Sword and the Heaven‑Devourer used by his clone into the Nine‑Dragon Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, letting them absorb on their own.

The Demon Slaying Sword immediately sent feedback, telling Ye Liuyun the material was excellent, its hardness and toughness far surpassing ordinary metal.

So Ye Liuyun let the two swords absorb first. Though he currently had no clone, he could treat the Heaven‑Devourer as a backup weapon. The Heaven‑Devourer can change shape, but he hadn't made it transform into anything other than a sword.

Later, by using the Thousand Illusion Technique to alter his appearance, he could make the Heaven‑Devourer take the form of another sword, which wouldn't affect his combat and wouldn't be recognized by others.

The two swords stayed in the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron for over ten days, until they could no longer absorb, then they leapt out.

"Boss, I feel invincible within the Void Rank, should we find an opponent to test?" the Demon Slaying Sword spoke up, voluntarily challenging Ye Liuyun.

"I don't have any high‑tier weapons for you to slash right now; wait until a battle opportunity arises, it should be soon!" Ye Liuyun had already swapped out all resource‑changing weapons, had nothing left to test, so he put it away to wait.

The Soul inside the Heaven‑Devourer is also Ye Liuyun's, so it reported to him that its tier had risen. However, like the Demon Slaying Sword, it can't discern the tier of Void‑Rank weapons nor know what level it has reached.

Yet Ye Liuyun estimates that even the Heaven‑Devourer, having previously faced Void Rank Sixth‑grade weapons, should have no problem; after this upgrade, it should at least handle Void Rank Seventh‑grade weapons.

The Repair Heaven Stone had been absorbed by the two swords by nearly half.

"I have no idea where these two guys have stored all that material! That stone is several times larger than their bodies!"

Ye Liuyun sighed again and tossed the War God Armor in as well.

"High‑grade material!" the War God Armor shouted joyfully, even proactively asking Ye Liuyun to add the Thunder Spirit into the forge for its own tempering.

Of course Ye Liuyun complied. After more than ten days, the War God Armor's tier rose by one level.

"Void Rank Seventh‑grade! What a pity, just missed reaching Void Rank Eighth‑grade!" the War God Armor communicated with Ye Liuyun via Divine Sense.

It resides on Ye Liuyun's body; as his Soul, Bloodline Power, Divine Core, and Physical Body improve, it benefits as well, having already advanced considerably recently.

This time, after the supplement of Repair Heaven Stone and stronger thunder‑fire tempering, it almost broke through to Void Rank Eighth‑grade.

"Can't help it, I have no other metal for you to absorb now, take it slow!"

Ye Liuyun also felt regretful, so he re‑equipped it and continued nurturing it with his own power. Yet the armor told him that even without better metal, if he nurtures it for a while longer, as his strength grows, it can also raise its tier.

Moreover, a Void Rank Seventh‑grade armor is already sufficient for Ye Liuyun now. At least in the Western Dynasty, he temporarily won't encounter stronger Martial Cultivators.

The weapons and armor tier upgrades give Ye Liuyun more confidence when undertaking Sect missions in the future.

Afterwards, he kept cultivating inside the Space World; with time left, he refined many True Dragon Essence Pills, raising his realm to the mid‑stage of the second tier of Taixu.

Upon reaching the Taixu realm, each minor advancement brought a noticeable shift in power. However, the resource consumption was huge, and later consolidating the realm also drained much. The True Dragon Essence Pills he had stockpiled were completely exhausted.

If he can't obtain more resources, further realm advancement will be extremely slow.

Now his abundant resources are only in Soul and Bloodline cultivation. Yet both are stalled: his Soul is still refining its soul source, and his Bloodline Power was only recently increased, so rapid growth is temporarily impossible.

Thus he had to rely on Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power to spar with Chen Xiang.
