Chapter 747: Absorbing Spirit Marrow

Ye Liuyun wasn't idle either.

First he returned to the Dragon Palace to soak in the blood pool, boosting his bloodline power.

He found that the stronger a Martial Cultivator's bloodline, the faster the cultivation progress.

Thus he wouldn't relax his bloodline power. With ample time now, he could properly enhance it.

His bloodline grade is high, but to reach the level where he can crush the Zao Hua Realm with bloodline force, he must keep improving.

When he had absorbed to a certain extent and felt a bottleneck, he returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to absorb spirit marrow and raise his realm.

After his realm advanced, he would return to strengthen his bloodline.

Spirit marrow is the essence of a mineral vein, the source of Spirit Stones, itself formed over years by condensed spiritual energy.

Many mineral veins formed quickly and contain no spirit marrow.

Once spirit marrow appears, it both absorbs spiritual energy and feeds the vein, raising Spirit Stone quality and quantity.

Thus a piece of spirit marrow contains power far richer and purer than a mineral vein's spiritual energy.

Ye Liuyun activated the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique; at the start of absorption he clearly felt spiritual energy wildly converting into True Essence, flooding his core.

His True Essence surged rapidly, and his realm quickly rose to the Yin Yang Four Layers Late Stage.

Then his realm naturally broke through: Yin Yang Five Layers Realm!

And he had only consumed half of the spirit marrow.

He gave the remaining spirit marrow to Wu Qingcheng for allocation, but Wu Qingcheng let him keep it himself.

"Nether Hell is chasing us too tightly; don't worry about us for now, first raise yourself so you can handle the enemy. We'll train with Spirit Stones, and our speed won't be much slower than yours!"

Ye Liuyun thought that made sense; he had mined many Spirit Stones this time, and now they had plenty, so he kept the spirit marrow for himself.

When his realm advanced, Ye Liuyun immediately felt his bloodline power had room to grow again. So he returned to the blood pool to continue strengthening his bloodline.

He stopped only when his bloodline power temporarily peaked.

Next, he began cultivating the Qiankun Palm's second move, the Yin Yang Millstone.

When this second move releases True Essence, it creates a palm imprint as large as a millstone, descending from the heavens and covering a vast area, making it hard for opponents to evade.

But it doesn't consume much True Essence; most of the power comes from the condensed, assimilated Heaven and Earth Power.

Thus this second move is more subtle than the first move, Yin Yang Wheel Rotation.

However, Ye Liuyun can only comprehend it inside the Xuan Kong Shi, then train on Jia Class. The Xuan Kong Shi can no longer bear his power.

Yet, training on Jia Class worries him that outsiders might see and realize they are bluffing as agents of Nether Hell.

While he was fretting, the spirit of the Xuan Kong Shi offered him a suggestion.

"You can change the foundation of your Space World to the Eighth Level Void, then cultivate inside the Space World. Even a Venerable can't shatter the Eighth Level Void, so you can use it freely! In fact, even the Seventh Level Void's base structure is unbreakable for you. Switching to the Eighth Level Void will just make things more convenient later."

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up at the words, and he acted immediately.

Inside the Xuan Kong Shi, with ample time, the modification wasn't very time‑consuming.

But the whole remodeling was almost as extensive as rebuilding—just a slight saving of effort.

While remodeling, Ye Liuyun simultaneously practiced the Qiankun Palm's second move within it.

Now at the Yin Yang Five Layers realm, his True Essence already has higher quality than before, and with this palm's greater power, its destructiveness is extreme.

Fortunately the space is empty; otherwise everything would be smashed by him.

After practicing enough, he began the third stage of the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, allowing his whole body to absorb spiritual energy.

Progress at this stage slowed considerably; after three months inside the Xuan Kong Shi, he was only at the entry level.

He felt his cultivation was too slow.

In fact, Qian Feng took half a year to reach the entry level back then. Ye Liuyun's speed is already fast.

This relates to his bloodline boost, which also raised his cultivation talent.

But he himself didn't realize it, thinking his talent and bloodline were insufficient, so he again worked on strengthening his bloodline.

The Food Star Beast's blood in the pool had been drained by everyone. Ye Liuyun thawed another pool of blood, opening the supply so anyone could freely boost their bloodline power.

After Su Miaoyin and Shi Yuan enhanced their bloodlines, their cultivation speed noticeably increased.

Both of them knew their realms were low, so they spent most time cultivating inside the Xuan Kong Shi, their realms soaring as they just broke through the Yin Yang First Layer.

Long Nv had already risen to the Yin Yang Five Layers, and Lei Ming was about to break into the Yin Yang Five Layers as well.

Bai Hu's pure‑blood lineage also erupted in power, and together with Wu Qingcheng they broke through to the Yin Yang Third Layers realm.

Yu Er broke through to the Yin Yang Second Layers. Even Ru Yue had already reached the Heavenly Gang Nine Layers Late Stage and would soon breach the Yin-Yang Realm.

Ye Liuyun gave Ru Yue the artifact he had seized from Mo Yang, and also infused it with some Golden Crow Holy Fire primordial power.

Later, whenever she activates it with True Essence, the lamp will emit a massive amount of Golden Crow Holy Fire.

Ye Liuyun himself also moved the Skeleton Puppet into his Space World, practicing with it whenever he had time, testing various applications of power.

Since the Space World was built, it became a dedicated arena for everyone to spar.

Anyone wanting to move around would go into Ye Liuyun's Space World to fight, preventing a lack of real combat that could destabilize their realms.

After Lei Ming and Long Nv broke into the Yin Yang Five Layers, they often challenged Ye Liuyun and the Skeleton Puppet.

But each battle ended with the two of them failing.

Ye Liuyun's Physical Body, bloodline, and True Essence Quality are no worse than theirs, but his methods are far more numerous.

Even his long‑unused illusion techniques can still bewilder Lei Ming and Long Nv.

Of course, Divine Soul Power and Spatial Power are even more decisive; if he uses those, the two of them couldn't fight him at all.

"Both of you need to train your Divine Soul and Spatial Power more, or you'll suffer later!" Ye Liuyun often reminds them.

Heeding his reminder, the two focused their cultivation on Divine Soul and Spatial Power.

For the others, Ye Liuyun also frequently watches their fights and points out each one's issues.

He himself still often practices illusion techniques with Wu Qingcheng. Last time, Wu Qingcheng and others used illusion to confuse Qian Yuan and others, which was also very useful.

Ye Liuyun has a foundation in illusion techniques and doesn't want to discard it lightly.
