Chapter 3400

Ye Liuyun laughed inwardly, but deliberately put on a troubled expression as he said, “Since you put it that way, I suppose I can show you some mercy. But this tribulation isn’t over yet, and I haven’t reached the Taixu World!”

“Put away your thunder spirit, and I’ll give you one light strike. Once we go through the motions, you can immediately head to the Taixu World!” The thunder spirit caught sight of hope and spoke at once.

“What about the thunder tribulation liquid? After passing my tribulation, I can’t possibly have nothing to show for it, can I?” Ye Liuyun continued to press it.

The thunder spirit was practically on the verge of tears as it cursed inwardly, “He’s already snatched so much of my source power, and now he wants thunder tribulation liquid from me too. This human is utterly shameless!”

But it did not dare say so aloud.

It knew that Ye Liuyun still had the Godslayer Bow, which he had yet to use. If he became angry and shot it with an arrow, it might be blasted apart. Even without the Godslayer Bow, it couldn’t withstand being plucked like this indefinitely.

So the thunder spirit thumped its chest and promised, “Yes, yes, we have some. It’s no trouble at all. Leave it to me, and you can rest assured!”

“You won’t be reluctant to give it to me and deliberately hold back, will you? The amount of thunder tribulation liquid should at least be enough to make up for all the lightning source power you struck me with, right?” Ye Liuyun continued, grinning wickedly.

“...” The thunder spirit’s heart bled, but it still had to agree aloud. “Of course, of course. Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any shortage!”

Ye Liuyun nodded at that. Finally, he reached out and plucked another handful of source power from the thunder spirit before putting away his fire spirit and thunder spirit. He then returned to the ground and waited for the tribulation to end.

He was no longer worried that the thunder spirit would run away. It couldn’t outrun his thunder spirit now, so Ye Liuyun could easily catch up with it.

The thunder spirit looked at the large chunk missing from its source power, spent quite some time composing itself, and then lightly struck Ye Liuyun.

This time, it was only a bolt of Violet Thunder Annihilation.

Luan Ping estimated that even he could withstand the power of this Violet Thunder Annihilation.

Everyone was utterly perplexed and began speculating inwardly, “Could it be that he actually beat the tribulation into submission?”

Afterward, a massive amount of thunder tribulation liquid descended from the sky. The thunder spirit didn’t dare try to deceive him, fearing that Ye Liuyun would be dissatisfied and come back to pluck it again.

Ye Liuyun bathed in it and discovered that the thunder tribulation liquid meant for him truly had a different effect. It further solidified his physical body, bloodline, divine essence, and other aspects of his strength, and even compressed his soul essence considerably.

“What a pity that my clones can’t benefit from this!”

Ye Liuyun sighed and called Luan Ping and the others over to share in the benefits. The thunder tribulation liquid was far less effective for the others, but it was still better than letting it go to waste.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun thought of the golden saber belonging to his second clone.

The women around him all had their own sabers, so he immediately gave his second clone’s golden saber to Luan Ping.

“This golden saber contains a strand of my divine soul, as well as my sword intention. You can borrow its power in a crisis!” Ye Liuyun instructed Luan Ping.

“Thank you, Master!” Luan Ping accepted it happily.

Just then, a beam of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky and enveloped Ye Liuyun.

The golden light actually transmitted a message to Ye Liuyun, telling him not to resist and to let it carry him to the Taixu World. Once he arrived there, he would also receive some rewards.

Ye Liuyun therefore waved goodbye to Luan Ping and the others before being drawn into the golden light.

In everyone else’s eyes, Ye Liuyun vanished into the golden light. In reality, it was as if he had walked through a somewhat lengthy passage and then passed through the entrance to a secret realm before entering another world.

The immense pressure of the Taixu World immediately pressed down upon his body.

“It really is the pressure of the Taixu World!”

Ye Liuyun sensed that this pressure was identical to what he had experienced during his previous cultivation, which put him considerably at ease. Otherwise, he had been worried all along that the pressure in the true Taixu World would be different.

He then began surveying his surroundings.

The place resembled a workshop, a chaotic mess where many people were busy at work. They were all dressed like soldiers, making it seem as though they belonged to the same army.

Behind him was a cluster of light, from which he had just emerged. There were quite a few such clusters, lined up in a long row. They were probably different passages leading here from the God Realm.

Before him were pools, each large enough to hold only one person, filled with a liquid that emitted spiritual energy. Some of the pools already contained martial cultivators who were practicing.

Even in the Taixu World, his divine sense could only encompass this workshop and could not see very far beyond it.

At that moment, a martial cultivator emerged from one of the clusters of light. The instant he came out, the pressure of the Taixu World crushed him until he vomited blood, leaving him sprawled on the ground, unable to move.

A soldier walked over and said to the martial cultivator, “There are medicinal baths here that can strengthen your physical body. If you want to adapt to the pressure of the Taixu World, you’ll have to pay one thousand units of source power. Otherwise, you’ll have to endure it until your body slowly adapts on its own.

Whether you want to pay is up to you, so decide quickly.”

“One thousand units of source power! But I don’t have that much!” The martial cultivator was clearly startled. He hadn’t expected so much source power to be required.

Without another word, the soldier picked him up, hurled him far away onto an empty patch of ground, and then paid him no further attention.

A large number of martial cultivators lay scattered across the vast empty ground in the distance. They were probably all people who couldn’t afford to enter the energy pools for medicinal baths. The martial cultivator had already suffered fractures to his golden shield and bones under the tremendous pressure here, and after being thrown down by the soldier, he passed out from the pain.

Fortunately, there were no dangers such as savage beasts here. These martial cultivators wouldn’t lose their lives, though they would suffer quite a bit.

At that moment, a squad leader who had been sizing Ye Liuyun up also walked over and said sarcastically, “You’ve cultivated your physical body quite well.”

From his expression, Ye Liuyun could tell that he meant no good. But since he had only just arrived, he still courteously cupped his fists toward the squad leader. “Sir, may I ask what this place is?”

“What place? Haha, this is of course the Taixu World. This is where newcomers are received and registered. Since you don’t need a medicinal bath, come with me to register. Don’t stand here blocking the way.”

As he spoke, the squad leader led Ye Liuyun forward toward a line where martial cultivators were waiting to register.

After each martial cultivator completed registration, a soldier would announce his assigned occupation. They were all occupations such as miners and laborers, after which other soldiers responsible for those positions would take them away.

Before Ye Liuyun could understand what was happening, the squad leader lowered his voice and said, “Everyone who comes to the Taixu World has to be assigned an occupation. The rank of that occupation determines your identity and status in the future.

Most of these people are assigned lowly positions such as laborers and miners. If you don’t want to end up like them, I might be able to think of a way to help you...”

After saying this, the squad leader looked at Ye Liuyun with a wicked grin. It was obvious that he intended to extort him.
