Jiang Yuan Tang’s focus remained on how to break through to the next realm. If no one managed to reach the Tai Xu realm for too long, their Fire Seal Galaxy would eventually fall into chaos. Even without Ye Liu Yun, other powerful experts would emerge to cause trouble.
Ye Liu Yun thus continued hiding himself, stopping by planets he hadn’t visited before to observe the commotion, while also allowing Snow Wolf and the two Demon Jiao to familiarize themselves with their humanoid bodies.
He and his two avatars took turns cultivating within his spatial world, condensing various powers. He now possessed the strength to fight against late-stage Gui Yi Ninth Heaven experts, so he wasn’t in a hurry to break through realms anymore. Instead, he focused on consolidating his various powers.
Normally, he sparred with Liu Wei to practice Spatial Force, and also found several martial cultivators with strong Heaven and Earth power to train and improve his own.
The time spent on this journey had actually improved his Spatial Force and Heaven and Earth power considerably, giving him somewhat of the bearing that Mo Tian Heng once had back then.
"Most of the experts and praetorian here haven’t withdrawn yet. Take another stroll around before coming over."
Before reaching Wan Hua Sect, Ye Liu Yun received another message from Qiong Qi.
"Alright then!" Ye Liu Yun agreed. He hadn’t expected Fire Seal Dynasty to persist this long either. He had been traveling for over a month already, yet Wan Hua Sect’s security measures still hadn’t been lifted.
However, there was no opportunity for him to act at this point anyway. He could only randomly pick one of Wan Hua Sect’s former major cities and enter to investigate the merchant guilds and major families inside.
After entering, he learned that this major city was called Ancient Capital City. It had once been the galactic core of several previous dynasties in this Fire Seal Galaxy, serving as the capital city for successive dynasties.
However, thousands of years had passed. The entire galaxy had undergone transformations and reconstructions; this place was no longer the galaxy’s core planet. The city itself had been rebuilt multiple times completely losing any trace of its former dynastic glory.
But according to local martial cultivators valuable treasures frequently appeared outside the city occasionally accompanied by secret realms emerging as well. Ye Liu Yun happened to arrive at just the right time—he heard that a secret realm had recently manifested.
Information about this secret realm was easy enough to gather; everyone in taverns was discussing it Many young martial cultivators confirmed that this secret realm had appeared before being none other than some ancient dynasty’s capital city
However this secret realm wasn’t very stable disappearing after about half a month each time And those who entered never came out again So everyone considered it quite dangerous not daring easily attempt entry
"I say that secret realm is deliberately luring people in as sacrifices!" one young man exaggerated "Maybe there are still some ancient dynasty expert spirits inside needing devour living souls"
Another young man laughed saying "You’re talking nonsense! But it’s definitely dangerous inside otherwise people wouldn’t keep failing return Anyway I dare not enter!"
Someone nearby nodded confirming "You certainly couldn’t manage it only Gui Yi Third Heaven cultivation entering would be suicide I think lowest cultivation among those who entered was Gui Yi Fifth Heaven!"
Ye Liu Yun brought Snow Wolf Demon Jiao ordered food drink eating while listening their idle chatter
At moment nearby table martial cultivators started discussing who exactly entered secret realm
One asked others "That Cern family genius Cheng Qi Feng forming team recruiting some experts explore together Apparently Ninth Prince Jiang Yun Han also at Cern family happened catch this expedition wants enter together Should we join Cern family expedition team?"
"No These royal clan major family disciples when encountering treasures won’t necessarily share us but when encountering danger will definitely use us cannon fodder Even if we go should form our own team why risk lives others" companion immediately refused
"But our influence insufficient can’t gather strong experts Just us few going strength still insufficient view!" another interjected
"What fear strength insufficient less adventure cautious matters find some resources immediately exit" same refusing martial cultivator continued
"Afraid we want exit can’t!" original suggesting martial cultivator sighed
"I heard City Lord son Sima Qian Hua also forming team..."
Most chatting tavern纠结 whether enter secret realm whom form teams with
When Ye Liu Yun heard "Ninth Prince Jiang Yun Han" couldn’t help laugh inwardly
"This fellow really fated with me actually encountered again! Wonder if can get more resources from him this time Though after suffering losses before should have made ample preparations This time probably won’t be easy dealing with him like before!"
Ye Liu Yun pondered secretly As for secret realm since encountered would certainly go take look Otherwise nowhere go during period anyway
He had the Black Pagoda for teleportation, so he wasn’t worried about getting trapped inside, nor did he intend to team up with anyone. He still had dozens of top-tier experts who hadn’t been drafted into the army by his side—more than enough for his exploration needs.
After listening to their conversation long enough, Ye Liuyun promptly left the city and headed straight for that secret realm.
The secret realm was easy to locate. A considerable crowd had gathered at the entrance and exit. Ye Liuyun released his spiritual sense and discovered that most were independent cultivators; even those at the eighth level of the Unity Realm were rare.
These people were all waiting here, temporarily looking for teammates to form groups with. Some teams already had more than ten members.
When Ye Liuyun appeared with Snow Wolf and Demon Jiao—his three guards at mid-to-late ninth level—interest immediately sparked among them. Many approached Ye Liuyun, eager to recruit him into their teams.
Experts at mid-to-late ninth level were rare here and considered absolute powerhouses. Quite a few even wanted to join Ye Liuyun’s team willingly, accepting smaller shares of resources just to tag along.
However, Ye Liuyun rejected them all outright, unwilling to expose his identity during the exploration. So he deliberately put on an arrogant air, having Snow Wolf release suppressive pressure that scared everyone away from approaching them—a display quite fitting for his disguised identity.
His haughty demeanor also drew considerable resentment from the other cultivators. Thus, as they watched him stride directly toward the secret realm’s entrance, no one warned him about the problem there. They simply watched with schadenfreude.
Ye Liuyun only stopped abruptly upon reaching the entrance, realizing that spatial energy around it was extremely chaotic—likely because this secret realm had only recently appeared and its passage wasn’t yet fully stable.
"No wonder these people are all waiting here instead of entering—the entrance still isn’t stable."
Only then did Ye Liuyun understand why everyone was watching him in silence: they were waiting for him to embarrass himself.
"Seems arrogance comes at a price after all—you can’t fake it without real strength! Forget it, I’ll wait off to the side."
Somewhat awkwardly, Ye Liuyun could only retreat back and find a spot to wait.
