Chapter 3441

Ye Liuyun cultivated inside the spatial world for five or six days, but it took the two fire spirit that long to refine only a small portion of the Heaven-Mending Stone—just enough for him to forge two storage rings.

Ye Liuyun was also extremely surprised. Given the strength of his fire spirit, he had not expected the refinement to be so slow. “This thing really is difficult to refine. No wonder some master weapon refiners don’t choose this material. It really is far too difficult to refine! I’d better try out its effects first!”

Thus, he first used the refined liquid to form a Interspatial Ring, then refined other materials into it.

He then had Ancestor Skyfire help inscribe formations inside the two storage rings that would allow them to sense each other. He had thought that when he and Chen Yueying went out on missions in the future, they would inevitably encounter danger. With this ability to sense each other, even if he and Chen Yueying became separated, he could find her at any time, making it easier for him to protect her.

After the rings were finished, Ye Liuyun was extremely satisfied. Although they looked quite ordinary and had no grade, their functions were exceptionally powerful.

Apart from sensing each other’s locations, the rings were impervious to attacks and fire. Their storage space was large enough to hold several cities, and they could even contain living creatures. Moreover, like the spatial world, they had functions such as isolating prisoners.

He immediately gave one of the rings to Chen Yueying. She was delighted as well. Without even waiting for Ye Liuyun to explain its functions, she immediately removed her old Interspatial Ring, transferred everything into the new one, and put it on.

After Ye Liuyun told her that the ring could sense their respective locations, she became even happier. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep it safe.”

Ye Liuyun told her, “This ring was forged from the Heaven-Mending Stone, so it’s exceptionally sturdy and fireproof. I’ve already tested it. It can’t be damaged, so you don’t need to be especially careful with it.

“The reason I didn’t make its exterior too attractive was that I was worried it would draw too much attention and be impractical. As long as you don’t dislike it!”

Chen Yueying lowered her head, her face flushed, and said softly, “Mm. How could I dislike anything you gave me?”

Ye Liuyun felt somewhat awkward as well. “Could this girl have misunderstood and thought I meant something else?”

“Um... How is the gilded armor coming along?” he asked, having no choice but to change the subject.

“We’ve already found a weapon refiner, and they’ll forge it for us as soon as possible. I’ve already had someone deliver all the clothes there. It may take a few more days to finish. You should go back and cultivate for now,” Chen Yueying replied.

“Oh, all right. Then I’ll go back to cultivating!” Ye Liuyun did not dare stay any longer. He immediately returned to the cultivation room to cultivate, lest things become awkward between them.

Seeing Ye Liuyun flee off to cultivate, Chen Yueying could not help smiling. “What a fool. He doesn’t even know how to take the opportunity to say something sweet!”

After giggling foolishly for a while, she also immediately returned to cultivate, worried that Ye Liuyun would leave her behind in strength. She also wanted to help him more when they carried out missions.

More than thirty days passed inside Ye Liuyun’s spatial world. As more and more of the Heaven-Mending Stone was refined, the refining speed also became faster and faster.

Ye Liuyun first put the Demon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven Devourer that his clone had used into the Nine-Dragon Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, allowing them to absorb the material on their own.

The Demon-Slaying Saber immediately sent him feedback, telling Ye Liuyun that the material was excellent, with hardness and toughness far surpassing those of ordinary metals.

Ye Liuyun then let the two sabers absorb it first. Although he did not have his clone with him now, he could use the Heaven Devourer as a backup weapon. The Heaven Devourer could change shape; it was just that he had never made it take any form other than that of a saber.

In the future, when he used the Thousand Illusions Art to change his appearance, he could make the Heaven Devourer take the shape of another saber. That way, it would not affect his fighting, and others would not recognize him.

The two sabers remained inside the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron for more than ten days. Only after they could absorb no more did they leap out.

“Boss, I feel like I’m already invincible among Void-rank weapons. Should we find an opponent and try it out?” As soon as the Demon-Slaying Saber emerged, it took the initiative to challenge Ye Liuyun to a fight.

“I don’t have any high-grade weapons for you to chop right now. We’ll wait until we get a chance to fight. It should be soon!” Ye Liuyun had already exchanged all the weapons he could trade for resources. With nothing to test the saber on, he could only put it away and have it wait a little longer.

The divine soul within the Heaven Devourer also belonged to Ye Liuyun, so it likewise told him that its grade had risen. However, like the Demon-Slaying Saber, it could not distinguish between the grades of Void-rank weapons and did not know exactly what level it had reached.

However, Ye Liuyun estimated that even before this, the Heaven Devourer would have had no problem fighting a sixth-grade Void-rank weapon. After this improvement, it should at least be able to deal with a seventh-grade Void-rank weapon.

The two sabers absorbed nearly half of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

“I wonder where those two fellows absorbed all that material. That stone was several times larger than either of them!”

Ye Liuyun sighed as well, then tossed the Battle God Armor inside.

“Premium material!” The Battle God Armor cheered as well, even taking the initiative to ask Ye Liuyun to put the Thunder Spirit in too, so it could temper itself.

Ye Liuyun naturally granted its request. More than ten days later, the Battle God Armor’s grade rose another level.

“Seventh-grade Void rank! What a pity. I was just a little short of reaching eighth-grade Void rank!” The Battle God Armor also communicated with Ye Liuyun through divine sense.

It was nurtured on the surface of Ye Liuyun’s body. As the quality of Ye Liuyun’s divine soul, bloodline, divine essence, and physical body improved, it benefited as well, and its grade had risen considerably recently.

After being replenished by the Heaven-Mending Stone and tempered by even more powerful thunderfire this time, it had nearly broken through to eighth-grade Void rank.

“There’s nothing I can do. I don’t have any other metal for you to absorb right now. Take it slowly.”

Ye Liuyun also felt it was a pity. He could only put the armor back on and continue nurturing it with his own power. However, the armor told Ye Liuyun that even without better metal, if he continued nurturing it for some time, its grade would rise along with Ye Liuyun’s strength.

Moreover, seventh-grade Void-rank armor was already sufficient for Ye Liuyun’s current needs. At least here in the Western Dynasty, he would not encounter any stronger martial cultivators for the time being.

The improvement in the grades of his weapons and armor gave Ye Liuyun even more confidence when he went out to carry out sect missions in the future.

Afterward, he continued cultivating inside the spatial world. Taking advantage of the time he still had, he refined quite a few Draconis Essence Pills, raising his cultivation to the mid-stage of the second level of the Grand Void Realm.

Once he reached the Grand Void Realm, he could clearly feel the change in his strength every time he advanced by a minor realm. However, the resources consumed were also enormous, not to mention what he needed afterward to consolidate his realm. The Draconis Essence Pills he had accumulated earlier were completely exhausted.

If he could not obtain more resources, his cultivation would truly advance extremely slowly.

The resources he still had in abundance were those for cultivating his divine soul and bloodline. However, his divine soul was still refining soul essence, while his power of bloodline had only recently improved, so neither could be rapidly enhanced for the time being.

Thus, he had no choice but to use Spatial Force and the power of heaven and earth to spar with Chen Xiang.
