Chapter 3588: Instant Solution

The ice worm, upon sensing a threat, immediately unleashed an even stronger Ice Power, intending to freeze Ye Liuyun and his companions in place.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun quietly used Divine Soul Power to activate Qinglian, invoking Time Power.

"It's been a long time since I used Time Power; let's see how long it lasts when I trigger it with Qinglian."

He aimed his bow at the ice worm, but it was just a ruse, so that Li Qianjiao wouldn't discover he possessed such power.

When time froze, Ye Liuyun felt as if he were deep within a river of time, able to review everything that had happened before.

He tried to walk into the river of time to see how far back he could go, but he hadn't reached the point before entering the Secret Realm.

Ye Liuyun, fearing his Time Power would be exhausted, dared not probe further and instead dealt with the ice worm first.

He intended to approach the ice worm, but discovered a natural ice encasement surrounding it—a True Essence shield formed by the worm's own Ice Power. Even if Ye Liuyun used the Item to shoot it, the shield would not be pierced.

Fortunately, the shield could not block a Spiritual Soul Attack. Ye Liuyun inserted his Soul source into the ice worm's Sea of Consciousness, found its Divine Soul Power far weaker, and immediately placed a Slave Seal on it, taking control.

The temperature around the ice worm dropped further; after staying too long, Ye Liuyun and Man Shu and the others could not absorb the Ice Power. So he retreated to a suitable range where everyone could accelerate absorption.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to absorb it.

Since not absorbing would be wasteful, strengthening his attribute power was better than doing nothing. He decided to wait and see how long his Time Power would last this time.

Ye Liuyun poured all his focus into absorbing Ice Power; after one hour, the temperature around the ice worm rose considerably, yet his Time Power remained unspent.

"This is awesome! With this ability, who can be my opponent!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help feeling smug inside.

"There are plenty of capable people; if you think like that, death won't be far off!" the Book Demon immediately warned Ye Liuyun.

"Hehe, of course, I'm just showing off; I'll never underestimate an enemy in battle!" Ye Liuyun said with a laugh.

"If you've absorbed enough, stop wasting Qinglian's power! This Qinglian can sustain at least a day of frozen time, more than enough for you," the Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

"That long!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed, even more delighted.

He didn't want to exhaust Qinglian so recklessly, so he retreated to his original spot, drew the Item again, assuming a ready‑to‑fire stance, and then restored the Time Flow Speed.

At that moment, under his Slave Seal, the ice worm immediately halted.

Suddenly feeling a massive loss of Ice Power, it was startled. The ice worm's intellect was low; it didn't even know who controlled it or why so much power was drained, only that it must obey the Slave Seal's command.

Xiao Lanbing only keenly sensed the temperature shift, but Ye Liuyun said nothing, and she asked nothing.

Only Li Qianjiao failed to notice anything, assuming Ye Liuyun's arrow had forced the ice worm to stop. Then Ye Liuyun pretended to release his Soul into the worm's Sea of Consciousness, withdrew, and staged the scene for Li Qianjiao, as if he had tamed it.

"This… you tamed it so easily?" Li Qianjiao could hardly believe it.

"Gather your Ice Power and let us approach!" Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the ice worm.

"Then can we still absorb its Ice Power?" Xiao Lanbing worried that the giant ice worm had become their ally, preventing further absorption. Its Ice Power was a prime cultivation resource for her.

"Haha, such a huge beast— even if you gave up the Ice Power, Lei Ming would still be greedy. Absorb what you need, and later we'll roast it!" Ye Liuyun laughed, telling Xiao Lanbing.

The ice worm's intellect was low; it couldn't even comprehend what they said, so Ye Liuyun didn't intend to keep it.

Ye Liuyun used the Slave Seal to forbid it from resisting, allowing him and Xiao Lanbing to freely absorb its Ice Power; it truly did not resist, merely lying still as if dead.

"Your luck is amazing!" Li Qianjiao exclaimed, thinking Ye Liuyun's fortune was extraordinary, easily subduing such a formidable foe.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and Xiao Lanbing spent a full day absorbing, nearly draining the ice worm's power. This occurred while Man Shu, others, and Xuecheng were also absorbing at full capacity.

Ye Liuyun's Ice Power also increased considerably during this time. Though not as strong as flame or Thunder and Lightning Power, it could still freeze a first‑layer Taixu Martial Cultivator without issue.

The remaining Ice Power remained in the ice worm's core pill. Ye Liuyun killed the ice worm, kept its core pill, and planned to gradually enhance his Ice Power later.

If others later need Ice Power, they can draw it from Xuecheng. The planet where Xuecheng lies has now become an ice planet.

Xiao Laner immediately returned to cultivate and raise her realm. Ye Liuyun temporarily stored the ice worm's corpse, planning to take everyone out later for a barbecue.

Then he and Li Qianjiao retraced their steps to find Long Nv. Not long after returning, Long Nv had refined the Heart of the Ocean, communicated with the planet's Primordial Power, and began harvesting the planet. Ye Liuyun and Li Qianjiao went to Xingkong to wait for her.

Although Long Nv had harvested fewer planets than Ye Liuyun, she had gained experience, so extracting this water‑type planet was not as dangerous as Li Qianjiao imagined.

"Is planet harvesting always this easy?" Li Qianjiao asked Ye Liuyun.

"That's certainly not the case. It's just that we, in the Mortal Realm, have harvested many planets and thus have experience," Ye Liuyun told Li Qianjiao. "But it seems there's no great danger! At least we have never encountered any hazardous situations."

"That's good!" Li Qianjiao said, feeling much relieved.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun reminded her: "Perhaps each person's circumstances differ. If you ever have the chance to harvest a planet, don't be careless!"

At that moment, Long Nv transformed into human form and ran back to Ye Liuyun's side. After absorbing and refining the Heart of the Ocean, her realm had risen to the mid‑stage of Taixu Liu Chong.

"Your realm advanced so quickly!" Li Qianjiao exclaimed again.

She realized that not only Ye Liuyun's luck was good, but everyone around him also benefited from his aura.

"It's great that your realm has improved. You should return to consolidate it first; I'll call you for the rest when needed," Ye Liuyun said, satisfied, and recalled Long Nv back to the Space World.
