Chapter 783: Leave Immediately
Ye Liuyun couldn't rest easy until he saw that everyone else was safe.
Only Qiong Qi could make him completely at ease.
So he slipped back into the void and sprinted in another direction. After weaving through the void for a while, he materialized and checked the positions of the others.
Ye Liuyun spent about two days finding everyone.
Some were fighting, some were searching for resources.
However, everyone was safe. He didn't disturb them; instead he found a safe spot and returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.
This time he obtained a lot of resources. The most precious was the Wan Hua Jin Ling Fruit, though he couldn't use it yet.
He also got a large amount of Spirit Stone, one fire spirit marrow, many fire spirit stones, an artifact Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, and from the Foreign Tribe he obtained Magic Power Stones, Primordial Pills, and the frozen Primordial Pills of thousands of ferocious beasts…
These resources would be enough for them to last a long time.
His Nether Ghost Fire, after absorbing the blue‑green flames of the Yin Soul, was further strengthened.
"First use the fire spirit marrow to raise the Golden Crow Holy Fire to the level of the Nether Ghost Fire."
Thinking of that, he began absorbing the fire spirit marrow and boosting the Golden Crow Holy Fire.
While absorbing the flames, he also employed the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, achieving the same excellent effect, much faster than normal absorption.
When he finished absorbing the fire spirit marrow, the Golden Crow Holy Fire matched the Nether Ghost Fire. He then stopped absorbing fire spirit stones.
Afterwards, he started absorbing Spirit Stones to raise his realm.
Spirit Stones were abundant and all were top‑grade; Ye Liuyun even splurged, sitting at the little hill of Spirit Stones and began absorbing.
Martial Cultivators in the Yin‑Yang Realm need massive amounts of Spirit Stones for each layer they advance.
Ye Liuyun only raised his realm to the mid‑stage of the Yin Yang Five Layers, consuming half of a hill of Spirit Stones.
He dared not use the remaining ones.
"Better use Magic Power Stones then!"
Spirit Stones are a universal resource; Ye Liuyun wanted to reserve more Spirit Stones for the others.
These Magic Power Stones could be fully absorbed by Ye Liuyun, and because they contained Demon Qi, they were even more beneficial to him.
Ye Liuyun took out some Magic Power Stones and began experimenting. Using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique for absorption, the speed was also lightning‑fast.
However, after a short while of absorption, he had to stop.
The Magic Power Stones were rich in Demon Qi, and Ye Liuyun dared not absorb too much at once.
He would only continue after fully converting the Buddha Demon Power.
Even while absorbing Magic Power Stones and circulating Buddha Demon Power simultaneously, Ye Liuyun did not dare absorb too quickly, fearing the Demon Qi would completely replace the Buddha Light Power.
So before he could break through the later stage of the Yin Yang Five Layers, he felt the spatial force repelling him.
"Is it time to go out?"
Calculating that the time was about right, Ye Liuyun left the Xuan Kong Shi and released Wu Qingcheng, Lei Ming and the others.
Soon, Ye Liuyun and the group were successively transported by the local spatial force to the entrance.
For a moment, people were everywhere outside, a chaotic mess. Fortunately the bandits were relatively experienced.
After they emerged, they launched their Warships so their people could easily spot the targets and return to the Warships.
After Du Yan emerged, he also couldn't find Ye Liuyun and the others; seeing the bandits' method of deploying Warships was good, he immediately launched their Super Warship.
This made things convenient for Ye Liuyun and the others, who were quickly found again.
"Not a single one missing, that's great!" Du Yan counted, delighted to see everyone back on the Warships.
Ye Liuyun, seeing Qiong Qi riding a broken furnace, also rushed back, smiling and greeting him.
"Kid, take me along a stretch; I'll go with you to Zhongyang Dalu!" Qiong Qi called.
"No problem! Welcome back!" Ye Liuyun naturally welcomed him.
However, his Nether Curse began flickering again.
This indicated that the Nether Warship tracking him was already very close.
"We must leave immediately! I'll go greet Lan Ruo Bing."
Saying that, Ye Liuyun hurried to Lan Ruo Bing's Warship to bid them farewell.
He also needed Lan Ruo Bing to arrange a guide, to help him find the shortcut that could save three months of travel.
Once Ye Liuyun left the Fragment Continent, the Nether Ghost Ship tracking him also started bustling.
"Report, Lord Fangya, the target has reappeared, still at the place where it vanished last time. Likely it entered a Secret Realm and emerged again." A skeleton ran in to report to Fangya, Shura's subordinate.
"Continue the pursuit!" Fangya has been handling the navigation of the Nether Ghost Ship these days.
After Ye Liuyun entered the Fragment Continent, perhaps due to the spatial force, he lost his trail.
If he had lost Ye Liuyun while on duty, he couldn't bear that responsibility. So Fangya's days feel like years.
Fortunately Ye Liuyun reappeared, and even closer to them!
Now they are only about half a month's journey from Ye Liuyun, having caught up half the distance.
On Lan Ruo Bing's Super Warship, Ye Liuyun was saying goodbye to Lan Ruo Bing, Lao Gui, and Wu Tiandao.
"I must leave quickly! The Nether Warship behind is only ten‑plus days away from me now." Ye Liuyun explained to them.
"Alright then, we won't hold you back. Let Wu Tian guide you through the shortcut. That route isn't fixed; it's a special spatial channel that can shave three months off your travel, enough to shake off the Nether Ghost Ship!" m.
Lan Ruo Bing was also decisive, wasting no time, and immediately had Wu Tian lead Ye Liuyun's party.
He also handed over the Foreign Tribe's Primordial Pills and Magic Power Stones they had collected in the Secret Realm to Ye Liuyun.
Wu Tian promptly mobilized a first‑class Warship to pave the way for Ye Liuyun.
"If you pass by here again, remember to drop by and see us!" Lan Ruo Bing told Ye Liuyun.
"Alright!"
Ye Liuyun verbally agreed, though deep down he wasn't sure if there would be a chance to return.
After Ye Liuyun returned, he didn't delay, immediately had Du Yan set sail at once, catching up with Wu Tian.
Wu Tian brought Ye Liuyun and walked another three days, circling the nearby sea area a few times before finding that shortcut.
Wu Tian stopped the warship, came over and pointed it out to Ye Liuyun.
"See? That moving spatial passage is the shortcut I mentioned. However, this passage moves around everywhere, making it hard to find."
Ye Liuyun also looked at the passage, indeed able to feel a strong spatial power.
"Will the Nether Hell warship following me also use this passage?" Ye Liuyun raised his question.
If the people of Nether Hell also use this passage, then he wouldn't be able to save that time.
