Chapter 708: Comprehensive Advancement

"But you mustn't be careless; you have to go all out to raise your realm! If your realm is insufficient, you can't even run away!"

Qian Feng also feared that Ye Liuyun would rely too much on them and neglect his own cultivation.

"Master, rest assured, the disciple never dares to slack off at any moment!"

Ye Liuyun truly has never relaxed in his cultivation.

"Alright, go cultivate; if you have any questions, come ask me anytime. Before the Secret Realm tournament, I'll check your cultivation progress."

Qian Feng gave him a brief instruction and then sent Ye Liuyun back to cultivate.

After returning, Ye Liuyun first had someone deliver a message to Du Yan and the others waiting outside, informing them that he had entered the Sect and asking Du Yan's group to meet him at Yi Cheng in the Five Sun Domain.

Then Ye Liuyun immediately returned to the Xuan Kong Shi and began cultivating.

There are ten days left before the pre‑Secret Realm tournament. Those ten days are enough for him to cultivate some results.

The first thing he cultivates is the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique.

This method is simply too practical for him. As long as he masters the first stage, his realm will rise even faster.

His biggest weakness now is his realm, so this is the first thing he must cultivate.

The air inside the Xuan Kong Shi has already synchronized with the outside.

This is the place where Lingxiao Sect Elders cultivate; the spiritual energy is extremely dense, and of course Ye Liuyun lets others also draw its light.

Unfortunately, the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique Qian Feng gave him is sealed; he cannot pass it to others and must cultivate it himself. Otherwise, he would have to share it with others.

He has the Mysterious Origin Qi Refining Manual as a foundation, so his absorption and conversion of spiritual energy are already very fast. Cultivating the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique now yields double results with half the effort.

His Golden Pupil clearly sensed the surrounding spiritual energy converging on him, surging like a frenzy straight into his Primordial Core.

Moreover, absorption and conversion are now faster than before, almost instantaneous, making him so delighted he nearly laughed out loud.

"With this method, my True Essence recovery speed is at least several times faster than before!"

He mentally evaluates the current cultivation speed while continuously boosting his True Essence.

The amount of True Essence in his Primordial Core is visibly increasing. In two or three days he broke through to the mid‑stage of the Fourth Realm, and as his mastery of the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique improves, spiritual energy gathers to him ever faster.

Eventually all the spiritual energy in the Xuan Kong Shi was absorbed by him, forcing the others to temporarily withdraw.

Even Elder Song Yan outside rushed to the spot where the spiritual energy was gathering around Ye Liuyun's cultivation.

"Looks like Qian Feng passed the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to my disciple! That old fellow really isn't selfish; he actually gave us something good!"

A few days later, Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique reached the standard of the first stage.

He then entered the second stage, practicing control of spiritual energy—transforming it into attacks, or corralling the energy within an area to disperse, concentrate, and strike, constantly trying various methods.

After mastering the method, he stopped continuously cultivating the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique and began improving his previous cultivation methods.

He examined each collected technique one by one, borrowing strengths, compensating weaknesses, and refining the meridian pathways inside his body.

He even improved the use of his blood veins and Soul.

Later he found his utilization of various energies was about thirty percent higher. Even Bà Tiān Divine Fist now hits with considerably more power.

Adding the Guardian God Seal boosts his attack power by at least fifty percent.

"Techniques from beyond the realm are essentially the same as those on the Vast Cloud Road, but the details differ by a world of distance!"

Ye Liuyun feels very fortunate to have the chance to encounter so many external techniques.

He immediately decides to collect more techniques in the future, bring them back to share with friends and family, and let them improve as well.

After refining the techniques, Ye Liuyun began, as his master instructed, compressing Blood Thunder, Golden Crow Holy Fire, and Nether Ghost Fire.

He had previously tried to expand these forces, which left them somewhat weakened. Now he compresses them to raise their quality.

His Blood Thunder, which absorbed a lot of thunder tribulation power while assisting Long Nv in a tribulation, still doesn't match Lei Ming's Blood Thunder attacks.

Golden Crow Holy Fire also falls far short of its intended might. Though it is the world's supreme flame, he can only wield it mundanely as a supplemental power.

He uses Nether Ghost Fire even less, and has never enhanced it.

He also admires the insight of these strong ones; after watching a single demonstration, he knows his shortcomings.

After compressing all the forces, he found Nether Ghost Fire considerably weaker than the others, partly because he never found suitable energy to supplement it.

"If I get a chance to find a yin‑type flame, I'll replenish Nether Ghost Fire!"

He thought to himself and continued to boost his Buddha Demon Power, using the same method to repeatedly compress the two forces.

When he again manifested the Buddha Demon Golden Body, the display seemed less grand than before, yet its solidification far surpassed the earlier form.

After these days of cultivation, Ye Liuyun's realm hasn't risen, but his strength has. Now he feels confident fighting across the Fourth Realm.

He looks forward even more to the upcoming Secret Realm qualification tournament and meeting strong opponents.

The recent prideful cultivators of Lingxiao Sect can also fight across levels. Now Ye Liuyun has refined his techniques and is no worse than them, so contending for the top spots should be no problem.

At least the fourth‑ranked Zhou Heng he previously faced can be easily defeated by Ye Liuyun.

He's eager to see the strength of the First‑Day Pride. Its realm is two Levels higher than his, and he wonders how large the power gap is.

With the remaining time, he focuses on cultivating Spatial Power, aiming to stay longer in the seventh‑level space.

He timed it himself; on the day before the selection tournament began, he emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi so the two masters could examine his cultivation results.

Ye Liuyun's demonstration this time surprised both Song Yan and Qian Feng considerably.

They didn't know the Time Flow Speed inside the Xuan Kong Shi differed; they only saw Ye Liuyun's cultivation results.

Now Ye Liuyun has improved the operation of all his forces and can't find any flaw.

Blood Thunder, Golden Crow Holy Fire and the like have all been compressed, becoming more powerful.

Especially the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique—its first stage is complete, the second stage already entered, and with continual practice it's not far from full mastery.
