The next morning.
Chen Yu glanced at the woman beside him; she was sleeping deeply, with fatigue and happiness on her face.
He quietly got up, walked out of the room, and went to Ye Luofeng’s cultivation chamber, taking out a set of high-level energy-gathering formations and various cultivation treasures.
Cultivation had already seeped into his bones, becoming a part of his daily life.
Even when returning home, cultivation could not be neglected.
Besides, his journey was still long, and he could not afford to relax.
Activating the "Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique," Chen Yu’s "Chaos Body" absorbed all the surrounding energy, transforming it into his own.
Chen Yu had prepared the energy-gathering formations and cultivation treasures himself.
In this scenario, cultivating in the Great Yu Realm was just as costly as cultivating in the main world.
Two hours later, Ye Luofeng found her way there."What a vast and dense fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."
Ye Luofeng couldn’t help but marvel.
The current cultivation conditions of Chen Yu were unmatched in the entire Great Yu Realm, except for the Emperor Xuanming.
Ye Luofeng was already focused on cultivation and swordsmanship, so with such an excellent cultivation environment, she naturally joined in.
Ye Luofeng’s cultivation base was at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak.
Before Chen Yu left, Ye Luofeng had barely broken through to the Star Condensation Realm, and within just a few years, her rapid cultivation speed surprised even Chen Yu.
According to what Ye Luofeng mentioned last night.
The "Eternal Curse" on her was originally a powerful force akin to the Emperor of Xuanming Realm, constantly devouring her life, cultivation, and soul power.
But ultimately, the Eternal Curse was directly suppressed by a powerful divine power, losing all its abilities, with the remnants of its force still within Ye Luofeng.
After some recuperation, her lost life, cultivation, and soul power returned to normal, and the suppressed force of the Eternal Curse began to be absorbed by her.
This was why Ye Luofeng’s cultivation made tremendous progress, reaching the Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak in just a few years.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Chen Yu paused midway, took out some cultivation treasures, and said, "These might be of use to you."
With the Chaos Body, he could essentially use any heavenly treasure, so he didn’t particularly focus on attributes when gathering resources.
The cultivation treasures given to Ye Luofeng were mostly suited for Ice Dao Practitioners or generally suitable for most cultivators.
Among them, upon seeing a few treasures, Ye Luofeng’s jade lips slightly parted in astonishment: "Heavenly Cold Glaze Fruit, Ice Jade Seven Snow Flower, this is the Extreme Cold Sky Crystal..."
The Heavenly Cold Glaze Fruit is rumored to only be born in extremely cold places, nurtured by extreme ice power for at least five hundred years.
As for the Ice Jade Seven Snow Flower, it had almost disappeared in the Great Yu Realm, and Ye Luofeng had only seen descriptions of it in ancient texts.
The Extreme Cold Sky Crystal is a rare mineral for refining High Grade Profound Artifacts.
That’s a High Grade Profound Artifact, practically a top-level Divine Weapon in the Great Yu Realm.
Holding the Extreme Cold Sky Crystal, Ye Luofeng felt it would be a waste to use it for cultivation; she desired a high-grade Ice Dao sword even more!
Chen Yu saw through Ye Luofeng’s thoughts.
He then took out a mystical weapon from his storage bag, a dark blue sharp sword with ice attributes, its quality reaching the pinnacle of middle-grade.
Chen Yu possessed few High Grade Profound Artifacts, and none suitable for Ye Luofeng, but this pinnacle middle-grade mystical weapon seemed suitable for her.
Ye Luofeng loved swords deeply and accepted the sharp sword without hesitation.
With that, she no longer hesitated and decided to use the Extreme Cold Sky Crystal as a cultivation material.
After a few days in seclusion, the two of them emerged together, heading to the commander’s residence.
"Why has Vice Commander Ye come?"
The Iron Eagle King saw Ye Luofeng and asked curiously.
Could it be that Ye Luofeng had noticed any clues about the recent plan?
But then he saw Chen Yu walk in, his expression slightly solemn, and smiled, "King Tianyu is also here."
"Commander, I want to resign from the position of Vice Commander."
Ye Luofeng looked straight at the Iron Eagle King.
She had previously joined the battlefield to kill the Blood Clan that had been opposing Chen Yu.
Now that Chen Yu had returned, they finally reunited and wouldn’t want to waste time on the battlefield.
The Iron Eagle King was startled, not expecting Ye Luofeng to make such a request.
He had only just sent the message out; if Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng were to leave now, all the previous efforts would be in vain, which would be troublesome.
"Um, could Vice Commander Ye and King Tianyu stay here for a few more days before leaving?"
The Iron Eagle King lowered his stance, speaking in a requesting tone.
"A few days ago, King Tianyu’s astonishing attack severely wounded the enemy army, surely catching their attention and prompting them to send reinforcements. If you both leave, this Cangyong Realm might fall."
"It won’t be long; I’ve received news that reinforcements will arrive soon."
The Iron Eagle King spoke with a tone of helplessness.
Chen Yu was well aware of how highly he was regarded by the Blood Clan, and Ye Luofeng clearly understood the situation as well.
Ye Luofeng glanced inquiringly at Chen Yu, who showed indifference.
"Alright, we’ll stay here for a while longer."
Ye Luofeng gave her response, then left with Chen Yu.
"I hope the Blood Clan doesn’t disappoint me."
The Iron Eagle King said with a deep gaze.
He had described Chen Yu’s strength thoroughly; if the Blood Clan were to make a move, they would surely send powerful reinforcements.
At that moment, a man in black clothing walked in.
"My lord, the Blood Clan sent a message saying you needn’t worry, their men will arrive soon."
The man in black said.
The Iron Eagle King breathed a sigh of relief; that’s good.
"They also said that as long as you capture Chen Yu, you would make a great contribution and could immediately return to the Blood Clan. But before that, remember to hand over Cangyong Realm..."
The man in black continued.
"Yes, naturally."
The Iron Eagle King nodded.
He was a king of the Heavenly Jade Sect.
And the Heavenly Jade Sect had long since submitted to the Blood Clan, making the Iron Eagle King, who was an undercover agent, always somewhat uneasy, fearing discovery by the Human Race.
Fortunately, once this matter is resolved, he can leave.
...
"After leaving here, shall we make a trip to the Kunyun Realm?"
Chen Yu already had plans.
The Kunyun Realm is their true homeland, and their families are still there.
"Alright."
Ye Luofeng agreed.
Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng stayed a few more days here, but since this is a military camp, they couldn’t even entertain themselves by sightseeing, so they simply started cultivating again.
Inside the secret chamber.
Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng sat cross-legged on the east and west sides, cultivating without interfering with each other.
Suddenly, Chen Yu sensed something amiss.
Ye Luofeng’s cultivation was having issues; her cultivation speed was slowing, and she was completely out of state.
After observing for a few breaths, Chen Yu immediately stopped cultivating and went to Ye Luofeng’s side.
"Luofeng?"
Ye Luofeng’s body was slightly swaying, and she seemed drowsy, as if she was asleep.
Reaching the realm of Condensed Star King, no matter how tired, one shouldn’t fall asleep, let alone when Ye Luofeng was cultivating.
There is a problem!
And at that moment, Chen Yu’s mysterious heart reacted.
The Blood Race has arrived!
Bang! Bang!
Several loud noises came from outside, and five figures rushed in.
Among them were three people, including the Iron Eagle King and two deputy commanders; the other two were dressed as ordinary soldiers. Chen Yu didn’t recognize them, but his mysterious heart sensed the aura of the Blood Race.
Simultaneously, Chen Yu noticed that the array at Ye Luofeng’s residence was activated, cutting off from the outside world.
"Chen Yu, I didn’t expect you to return from the main world."
A soldier with a hooked nose suddenly had a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.
"Huh? You don’t seem poisoned!"
Another young soldier said.
"This can’t be. I, the commander, have someone tamper with the array below, merging the invisible, colorless ’Soul Suppressing Fragrance’ into the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. As long as they cultivate, they will unknowingly inhale the ’Soul Suppressing Fragrance.’"
Iron Eagle King explained briefly to avoid suspicion from the Blood Race experts.
"So it was a trick with the array."
Chen Yu realized.
Previously, an Array Master had tampered with the array below the cultivation chamber, claiming to repair array loopholes. Chen Yu, being clueless about arrays, didn’t notice anything amiss.
As for why he wasn’t poisoned, it was only natural.
His physique was special, with top-notch toxin resistance.
Especially after his mysterious heart transformed, having acquired the Chaos Body, he could absorb any energy, removing impurities and making them his own. The ’Soul Suppressing Fragrance’ mixed with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was likely ’filtered’ by his mysterious heart.
"Chen Yu, upon your return, you’ve already caused such a commotion, and yet you dare to stay here. It seems your time in the main world has made you disregard the Great Yu Realm."
The hooked nose man spoke. .
"Sir, please act quickly. Delay could bring change."
Iron Eagle King urged.
He was deeply impressed by Chen Yu’s strength, and only two people from the Blood Race came. He doubted they could handle Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, surrender yourself."
The hooked nose man’s body surged with blood light, eerie and icy, making Ye Luofeng’s residence feel like it was in a sea of blood.
Iron Eagle King and the two deputy commanders felt their blood coagulate, as if a giant mountain pressed upon them, making every move extremely difficult.
"What...just what kind of power is this?"
Iron Eagle King was alarmed.
Though in the late stage of Star Condensation, under the hooked nose man’s aura, he was rendered nearly powerless.
What level of cultivation does the opponent possess? It doesn’t seem to be Xuanming Realm, so why is he so strong?
At the same time, another Blood Clan King also released his aura, making the place feel like hell, oppressive and silent.
"Five-star King, Four and a Half Stars."
Chen Yu commented casually.
These were the cultivation levels of the two Blood Race experts.
"What? Five-star King?"
Iron Eagle King was shocked on the spot.
Some of the ancient texts in the Great Yu Realm recorded that to increase the chances of reaching the Xuanming Realm, one could remain longer at the Condensed Star Realm to accumulate foundation.
If one could condense a fourth Primordial Power Star, the probability of breaking through to the Xuanming Realm could increase by nearly twenty percent.
However, due to the cultivation environment and resources in the Great Yu Realm, even in a thousand years, a Four-star King seldom appeared.
And now, by his side, there was a Five-star King and a Four and a Half Stars King, truly astonishing.
But Iron Eagle King and the two deputy commanders were reassured; with a Five-star King involved, Chen Yu’s death seemed certain.
"No wonder you’ve been to the main world; you have quite the eye."
The hooked nose man chuckled.
"It seems you two came from the main world."
Chen Yu speculated.
The Great Yu Realm could seek support; the Blood Race from the main world held significant interest in Chen Yu’s Eternal Heart, and hence in the Great Yu Realm, leading to them sending reinforcements early, tilting the balance of power toward the enemy.
"What’s the point of this much nonsense? Are you still thinking of resisting against a Five-star King?"
The hooked nose man, his Primordial Power surging, was ready to act.
Chen Yu chuckled softly.
It’s likely the Blood Race’s support had arrived at the Great Yu Realm a while ago. Otherwise, how could a Five-star King and a Four and a Half Stars King dare to confront him?
"Ha ha, I’m pitying you because from now on, you won’t even have the opportunity to spout nonsense."
