Ye Liuyun and his two avatars compared the drawn array diagrams with the images in their sea of consciousness repeatedly. Only after confirming there were no issues did they hand the diagrams over to Qiong Qi and the other array masters.
Qiong Qi and several array masters verified the diagrams and also found no problems. At least for the arrays they were familiar with, every single one had been drawn without any errors.
Those array masters even directly set up that final large array based on Ye Liuyun’s drawings. Only after confirming it could operate normally did they all finally relax.
After finishing up, he still asked Qiong Qi: "Why doesn’t the array I carve work after I slap it into the ground?"
Qiong Qi was in a good mood too. At least all this time hadn’t been wasted in vain, and it was all thanks to Ye Liuyun’s contributions. So he rarely showed patience in explaining: "The true essence used to draw arrays must be contained rather than released. When you directly slap out your true essence, it’s no different from simply striking out with it."
As he spoke, he also told Ye Liuyun information about how to draw arrays out of thin air. Its essence was to imbue energy into the lines, keeping them condensed without dispersing, allowing them to circulate and unleash the array’s power.
Ye Liuyun immediately began learning from him. Before long, he could follow patterns and use the method Qiong Qi taught him for drawing arrays out of thin air to directly set up simple arrays.
"Haha, does this mean I can now be considered an array master too?" Ye Liuyun also asked Qiong Qi with a smile.
He only found it fun and casually tried it out; he wasn’t really planning to seriously study arrays.
"Mm," Qiong Qi nodded, teasing: "With that thick skin of yours, once you practice enough, going out to bluff people would still be passable."
Ye Liuyun smiled and didn’t mind. He immediately used the teleportation black tower to return to his underwater base at Desolate Sea, bringing everyone back for cultivation.
Qiong Qi’s mission at Wanhua Sect was also completely finished; there was no need to stay here any longer.
Now he had quite a few array masters, weapon refiners, and alchemists. The equipment, pills, and other resources needed by everyone and the army were no longer lacking. Moreover, they currently had abundant resources plus battle platforms for tempering themselves, so there was no need to go out causing trouble anymore.
After returning, Ye Liuyun also entered a cultivation state. First he absorbed a dragon soul, but suddenly discovered that half of that dragon soul’s divine soul had actually been absorbed by his guardian seal imprint.
"What is going on?" This was the first time Ye Liuyun encountered such a situation—his own guardian seal imprint competing with him for resources.
However after his guardian divine soul absorbed those dragon souls became more agile in combat coordinated better with him Ye Liuyun felt wasn’t bad thing let absorb freely
Seeing effects were good had avatars try well refining some divine soul power into each guardian seal imprint
Especially his own golden dragon guardian seal imprint after obtaining dragon souls its strength greatly increased attack power strengthened several times fold Ye Liuyun immediately supplemented two more dragon souls letting grow another circle larger
Now these three guardian seal imprints not only became more solidified coordinated better with him possessed stronger attack power
Thus when cultivating divine souls future would allocate some divine soul power guardian seal imprints
Subsequently refined dragon body intending raise physical body level
But War God armor used divine sense negotiate "Master previously absorbed some Dragon Spring liquid raise myself though absorbed slowly almost able raise grade rank"
"When refining dragon body could give me bit energy let immediately advance Void Grade Third Rank otherwise slowly evolve myself would take rather long time"
"Uh..." Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected War God armor compete resources either
But knew armor part strength especially its divine soul bloodline physical body divine yuan connected allowing raise faster would make safer
So still agreed War God armor when absorbing dragon body allocated portion energy
Fortunately armor didn’t absorb much energy directly advanced grade rank then stopped absorbing
"Void Grade Third Rank! Even arriving higher worlds will somewhat safer!"
Ye Liuyun felt this bit resources given vain remaining continued nurturing armor wait opportunity allow advance grades again
Next Ye Liuyun avatars began continue condensing divine souls bloodlines physical bodies divine yuan guardian seal imprints then entered battle platforms raise space power heaven earth power
After purifying their power of bloodline once with the Purification Blood Pearls, they absorbed a considerable amount of the bloodline resources Lan Xin and the others had found for them. Then the three of them took turns using the Purification Blood Pearls to purify themselves again.
This time, Ye Liuyun cultivated for three months in his clone’s spatial world before raising his cultivation realm to the middle stage of Return to Origin Eighth Layer. However, all aspects of his power were exceptionally solid, especially his divine essence—he had repeatedly suppressed his realm.
He even began using heaven and earth energy along with his own thunder and fire powers to repeatedly temper his divine essence, only breaking through a minor realm when he truly could no longer suppress it.
But his strength had improved by more than just several times. Now, relying solely on his divine essence, he could fight evenly against cultivators at Return to Origin Ninth Layer Peak. With the addition of his blade intent and heaven and earth energy, many Return to Origin Ninth Layer Peak cultivators simply weren’t his match anymore—he didn’t even need to release his Guardian Divine Seal to fight.
Gradually, he also felt that fighting Ninth Layer Peak experts was becoming somewhat unchallenging, so he had them wear Void-grade armor and use Void-grade weapons to fight again.
However, as soon as they exchanged blows, he suffered heavy losses. Facing Void-grade armor, his Demon-Slaying Blade could no longer break through their defenses. Even using all his strength was useless.
And after being struck multiple times, he was beaten until covered in wounds—not severe ones, but he looked rather miserable nonetheless.
After the battle ended, Ye Liuyun healed while lamenting how powerful these puppets were.
"It seems my physical body still isn’t strong enough! The Demon-Slaying Blade’s power is also insufficient—it can’t even split apart Void-grade armor!"
Ye Liuyun not only thought that he should improve his physical body but also realized he should enhance the Demon-Slaying Blade’s body as well.
The Demon-Slaying Blade hummed in agreement and also wanted Ye Liuyun to refine that metal puppet impervious to blades and spears into itself to supplement its blade body.
He found Old Ancestor Heavenly Fire and asked him how to upgrade the Demon-Slaying Blade.
Old Ancestor Heavenly Fire instead handed him a newly refined Nine Dragons Heaven-Devouring Cauldron that he had reforged for him.
"Perfect timing—I just finished modifying this cauldron for you. Don’t you possess flame and lightning powers yourself? You can re-temper your Demon-Slaying Blade with it.
But you’ll definitely need better materials and incorporate some of your current soul power and bloodline into it—that will make it stronger."
"Refine it myself?" Ye Liuyun thought Old Ancestor Heavenly Fire was unwilling to help him.
