Chapter 3833: Boundless Gratitude

The handling of the large number of prisoners of war lasted for several days.

Ye Liuyun also used this time to tear out the souls of the captured prisoners and send them into the Soul‑refining Cauldron to be refined into soul sources. The planets in their Cave Heaven World were also swept away by Ye Liuyun, instantly adding several thousand planets to his Space World.

Although the more planets there are, the harder his realm breakthroughs become, the lure of such resources left Ye Liuyun unable to refuse.

"At worst I'll just boost my soul power a bit more before breaking through; this rare resource can't be discarded."

Chi Lian, Little Witch, and Magic Vine have been swamped these days. Magic Vine has been devouring elixirs and corpses, while Chi Lian has been continuously helping the monster beasts increase their bloodline power.

Little Witch later could no longer absorb it, so she had to assist Ye Liuyun in channeling a massive amount of fortune back into the crystal stone that stores fortune within the stone tablet.

The women have been helping Ye Liuyun sort the seized resources these days, so busy their feet never touch the ground.

It wasn't only Ye Liuyun; Qin Peng's great army and the war‑slave legion also harvested abundant resources, enough for those soldiers to train for a long time.

Afterwards all the armies withdrew to the central planet, Ye Liuyun began setting up linked Teleportation Arrays, and the entire Goldwind Planet was assigned by Guǐ Sòu to Lin Feng for management, assisting him in overseeing his subordinates.

Ye Liuyun also fulfilled his earlier promise, abolishing the war‑slave system; the former war slaves were converted into soldiers stationed across the lands. Taxes were turned over at only ten percent to the Lingyun Dynasty, and the first three years were tax‑free, allowing the populace to recuperate.

Lin Feng, the former war slaves, and the citizens of the Goldwind Star System were infinitely grateful to Ye Liuyun. Things they had never dared to dream of have now become reality.

Wherever Ye Liuyun passed, the people cheered along the streets. Lin Feng also led all his soldiers in swearing eternal loyalty to Ye Liuyun.

Guǐ Sòu made a brief arrangement of the management hierarchy and then returned to the Lingyun Dynasty. Ye Liuyun again received the fortune of this star system.

The army also temporarily rested here. Though called a rest, it was actually consuming resources to quickly strengthen themselves.

Ye Liuyun also trained alongside them, accelerating the refinement of divine sources to boost his soul power.

The amount of soul power he obtained this time was truly immense. The Goldwind Sect's strength fell far short of its reputation; had it not been for the sheer number of surrendered prisoners, he could not have gathered so many soul sources.

Ye Liuyun cultivated here for a month; all the energy inside the Golden Egg was used to aid the refinement of soul sources, and a great deal of blue crystal stone that purifies souls was also employed, nearly doubling the soul power of him and his clone. Even so, he still had more than twenty Soul Sealing Pearls filled with soul sources.

The clone puppet's soul cultivation never relaxed. Though it might not greatly increase the clone's combat power, it makes the clone's future soul attacks safer.

Afterwards he began preparing to break through his realm. He hadn't shied away from battles during this period, and breaking through posed no problem. Moreover, with his soul power now doubled, he felt even more confident in resisting the lure of power.

Indeed, the breakthrough process was smoother than before; his soul power resisted the temptation of power. Although many planets had been added to the Space World, many of them had not fully merged, and the Primordial Power had not yet reached its peak.

Moreover, this time his connection with the Space World reached fifty percent. In other words, the next breakthrough will leave Ye Ling of little help; without that safeguard, he must rely entirely on himself.

The accelerated planet within his Space World has now become one day outside for every six days inside, and its rotation speed continues to decline.

The monster beasts are all using this time to train diligently. The energy they previously absorbed has not yet been fully digested.

Ye Liuyun did not disturb them, summoned two puppets to expend some Divine Core, then continued practicing Spatial Power with Zhan Kong, while also further strengthening his Physical Body.

He has now reached the ninth layer of void, about to touch the void barrier of the next layer, so he is curious about what the next void actually looks like...

According to Zhan Kong, the next void is a realm of emptiness. Moreover, pressing further upward will encounter a very

strong law pressure; even Zhan Kong cannot reach the newer void barrier.

By Zhan Kong's understanding, that place should be a space linked to higher‑tier worlds.

"How powerful must the law's force be that even you cannot break through?" Ye Liuyun asked Zhan Kong.

"Actually I'm only a bit stronger in Spatial Power; my other abilities are rather average. Perhaps I'll grow stronger in other aspects, maybe achieve a breakthrough…"

Zhan Kong felt some regret. He has now become a puppet; his bloodline, Physical Body, and realm advancement are all restricted, and attempting another breakthrough of that space seems unlikely.

"Continue cultivating your soul power; when I later obtain high‑grade metal, I'll help reinforce your Physical Body, and then we'll break through that space together and see what's out there!" Ye Liuyun immediately made this promise to Zhan Kong.

Although he originally turned Zhan Kong into a puppet because Zhan Kong tried to kill him first, he still feels guilty, thinking he caused Zhan Kong's stagnation,

"Thank you, Master!" Zhan Kong thought Ye Liuyun's promise was already good enough. After all, he is now merely a puppet with a soul.

Ye Liuyun, thinking of this, also specially sent many cultivation resources to Sun Que, urging him to improve quickly. To raise the realms of these puppets, Sun Que remains the main contributor.

Sun Que has been cultivating these days, his realm having risen to the Seventh Layer of Cave Heaven. Now he can no longer advance his cultivation and is forging artifacts; for him, the forging process is also a way to boost his soul power.

Ye Liuyun also gave him many soul sources to absorb and assimilate gradually.

Sun Que currently has nothing else to forge, so he continues slowly crafting Skeleton Puppets while assisting Tong Xin in improving fire‑power battle tanks, and also offers considerable guidance to other artifact forgers.

Seeing Sun Que work so earnestly for him, Ye Liuyun is willing to grant him additional resources to help him quickly strengthen.

Though these people were captured as slaves, he never truly treated them as such. As long as they serve him sincerely, he will not forget them.

At that moment, the monster beasts began breaking through their realms one after another.

Magic Vine's realm reached the pinnacle of the Eighth Layer of Cave Heaven. He restrained himself, not breaking directly to the Ninth Layer for fear of instability, while also reserving resources for a breakthrough to the Cultivation (maybe realm base) Realm.

Lei Ming, Long Nv, Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, and Bai Hu all broke through to the Fifth Layer of Cave Heaven, and Chi Lian's realm uncontrollably surged to the Fifth Layer as well. After Chi Lian helped boost Bai Hu's bloodline power, Bai Hu showed signs of accelerated advancement.

Zhu Que's realm rose to the Fourth Layer of Cave Heaven before he suppressed it himself. He has already stockpiled enough cultivation resources to continue advancing to the Fifth Layer.
