Chapter 589: Repairing the Loopholes

No matter what, we must persist until Liang Xue completes the inheritance.

Ye Liuyun thought of this and asked Qing Lin, "Do you know where those loopholes are and how to fix them?"

Qing Lin immediately transmitted to Ye Liuyun a new Secret Realm map, which added the loophole locations he had discovered over the past few days.

"Repair with spatial power?" Ye Liuyun hadn't thought of that; Qing Lin told him the method to fix the loopholes actually required using spatial power.

"Let's go! We'll find a loophole together and try it."

So Ye Liuyun led the group, followed Qing Lin, and arrived at the nearest loophole site.

The loophole resembled a black hole jutting out of the void, piercing through a mountain's base.

"Is this the loophole? It looks just like a black hole in the void!" Ye Liuyun asked Qing Lin.

Qing Lin nodded and began employing spatial power, gradually sending the black hole back into the void.

Ye Liuyun was fairly familiar with this process.

He had once, on the Demon Race's territory of Wanmo Ridge, released such a black hole to save Lei Ming, and then, with the Demon Race's help, sent the black hole back into the void.

So after a glance, he knew how to handle it.

He immediately acted, and together with Qing Lin, in little time, sent the black hole back.

This loophole is relatively small; if it were large enough and stable enough, people could pass through it.

Qing Lin conveyed all this information to Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, we'll split up. Your spatial power is weaker than mine, so you can pick some small loopholes to fix. I'll go find a few large loopholes to repair. Qingcheng, you and the others separate and go nearby to hunt some ferocious beasts for practice."

After arranging everyone, Ye Liuyun immediately followed the markings on the Sea of Consciousness map and rushed toward a larger loophole.

The Secret Realm still contained some powerful ferocious beasts, so to avoid danger and save time, he constantly traversed the void to reach the largest loophole in the Secret Realm.

This loophole spanned roughly half a li in radius and was subtly expanding, likely due to strong external attacks.

The reason no one has passed through this loophole yet is probably that the passage is still unstable.

Ye Liuyun didn't hesitate, instantly wielded spatial power, and gradually sent the black hole back into the void. Because the outside kept enlarging the black hole, his progress was slow, but effective; after one hour, the black hole had shrunk by half.

Using Martial Cultivator strength to force open a black hole requires far more effort than Ye Liuyun sending it back into the void.

Ye Liuyun can also rupture the void, but maintaining a black hole exceeds his current capability. Opening a cross‑realm passage is even beyond his reach.

"The ones attacking the Secret Realm from the other side are probably Elder of the late stage Yin‑Yang Realm!"

Ye Liuyun worked while speculating in his mind.

Two hours later, the black hole vanished completely, having been fully sent back into the void by Ye Liuyun.

Then he hurried nonstop to the next location.

Thus, within a few days, Ye Liuyun had repaired all the larger loopholes inside the Secret Realm.

At this moment, the Elders from the three sects responsible for attacking the Secret Realm gathered together, studying its changes.

"Recently the passages we opened have all been sealed again. Could the Secret Realm's defensive capability have strengthened?" a Demon Cultivator Elder asked the others.

"Unlikely! The energy in this Secret Realm is clearly waning; how could it become stronger?" an Ice and Fire Sect Elder dressed in a blue robe embroidered with flames refuted the claim.

"Could it be that Golden Pupil kid, or Qing Lin?" a Three Origins Sect Elder speculated, his gaze also falling on a female disciple, Xiao Mingyue.

"Ye Liuyun does have the ability to traverse space. Whether he can repair void loopholes, the disciple is unsure!" Xiao Mingyue replied promptly.

"If he truly can fix spatial loopholes, all our efforts would be in vain. How could our attacks be faster than his repairs!" the Night Demon Sect Demon Cultivator Elder said angrily.

"How about we try again, this time concentrating everyone's power to attack one spot and see how he responds?" the Ice and Fire Sect Elder suggested.

"Fine, we'll combine forces and try again. If it still fails, we'll think of another plan!" the Three Origins Sect Elder agreed.

Thus, they began gathering manpower, converging on a location.

Inside the Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun and Qing Lin also noticed that the external attacks had ceased.

"Have they realized we're repairing the loopholes?" Ye Liuyun asked Qing Lin.

Qing Lin nodded affirmatively, but his eyes also showed worry.

"Stop overthinking. Let's use this time to seal all the Secret Realm's loopholes so they have no opening," Ye Liuyun reassured him.

He understood that the three sects' tactic wouldn't work, but they certainly wouldn't give up and would try other methods to continue attacking the Secret Realm.

But now they had no choice but to defend as best they could, waiting for the opponent's moves and responding, buying a day at a time.

For the next two days, Ye Liuyun and Qing Lin kept traversing the void, patching loopholes.

That day, Ye Liuyun suddenly received a Divine Sense Transmission Voice from Qing Lin, urging him to rush to a location.

Ye Liuyun didn't delay and went straight there.

Upon arrival, he discovered a new massive hole had appeared, and it was expanding rapidly. After a short while, the hole had grown another ring.

Ye Liuyun immediately acted with Qing Lin to repair the loophole.

"Why is this black hole expanding so quickly?" Ye Liuyun asked Qing Lin, puzzled.

Qing Lin extended a claw, revealing five digits.

"You mean at least five Elders are jointly attacking this loophole?" Ye Liuyun confirmed to it.

Qing Lin nodded and began exerting force, accelerating the push of the black hole back.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun also hastily added his strength.

But as they increased speed, the opponent suddenly also exerted force.

"It seems more people are attacking this spot," Ye Liuyun said, looking at Qing Lin.

Qing Lin nodded worriedly.

Ye Liuyun immediately, without hesitation, called Bai Hu and his group over, and released the Skeleton Puppets to assist as well. After all, more people mean greater strength.

Ye Liuyun knew that if this loophole couldn't be held, the enemy would break through directly.

Although the others' spatial power was weak, it was better than none.
