"Don't be silly." Lu Ye raised his hand and patted Giant Armor's shoulder. "The Myriad Devil Ridge has the advantage in numbers. Right now, they can't wait for us to appear. Thus, for me, hiding here is the safest."
Giant Armor's expression was somewhat dejected. He probably knew that Lu Ye was right.
"Advance. Return to the sect and report your safety to the sect master and Second Senior Sister."
Giant Armor remained silent and did not speak.
Lu Ye did not say anything else. He stood up and walked to the side, beginning to perfect the formation that he had set up earlier.
Although the previous formation could be used, it had been hastily set up after all. There were many areas that could be improved. Array flags were set down one after another. The area covered by the formation increased significantly, and the formation was maintained more stably.
While Lu Ye was busy, Giant Armor only watched quietly. When Lu Ye was done, he suddenly said, "You have to live!"
Lu Ye turned to look at him. "You definitely won't die."
Only then did Giant Armor sit down cross-legged. The surging spirit power in his body quickly calmed down, and his cultivation level rapidly fell.
The process of a cultivator advancing from Spirit Stream to Cloud River was actually not difficult. The difficult part was the opening of the apertures. As long as the number of opened spirit apertures in the body was enough, advancing to Cloud River was not too risky.
In just a moment, all the small circulatory cycles in Giant Armor's body stopped circulating. As he continued, his spirit power, starting from the source of the spirit aperture, began to pass through one spirit aperture after another.
The more spirit apertures that were passed through, the more violent the spirit power fluctuations on Giant Armor's body became. If one listened carefully, they could even hear the movement of the spirit power flowing in his body.
At first, it was not very obvious, but slowly, the spirit power flowed like a stream, and then the movement became greater.
Until a certain moment, when the spirit power passed through all 360 apertures, the boiling spirit power in his body surged like a river, emitting a buzzing sound.
A dazzling spirit light flashed from Giant Armor's body. With him as the center, an invisible wave of Qi spread out in all directions.
Cloud River Tier!
The names of the Spirit Stream Tier and Cloud River Tier actually came from the flow of Spiritual Power in one's body.
Spirit Stream Realm cultivators had a system of Minor Heavenly Circulations in their bodies, and their Spirit Energy flowed like a stream. The number of Minor Heavenly Circulations in their bodies determined their realm. That was why they were called Seven Heavens, Eight Heavens, and Nine Heavens, and not Tenth, Eleventh, or Twelfth Order Spirit Stream Realm. This was because after a cultivator switched to a Heaven Grade Secret Art, the number of Minor Heavenly Circulations in their bodies would not reach that many. Of course, in terms of merit points gained from killing enemies, Heaven's Secret calculated it according to the Tenth, Eleventh, or Twelfth Order Spirit Stream Realm.
Unlike the Spirit Stream Tier, the Spiritual Power in the body of the Cloud River Tier only had one circulation system, and that was the circulation system of all the Spiritual Apertures that had already been opened. For example, the giant armor had opened up three hundred and sixty apertures, and that was a perfect circulation system.
All of the spiritual energy flowed through this great cycle like a river. The cultivator's control over spiritual energy would undergo an earth-shattering change. Their strength would also undergo a qualitative change, and their strength would increase exponentially.
It was because of this reason that cultivators in the Spirit Stream Realm would try their best to open up more Spiritual Apertures, and that was why there were so many cultivators who were unwilling to casually break through to the Cloud River Tier.
This was because the more Spiritual Apertures one opened, after breaking through to the Cloud River Tier, the greater the increase in one's strength and future potential would be.
Every additional Spiritual Aperture opened in the Spirit Stream Realm would increase one's strength in the Cloud River Tier. Perhaps the difference of one or two Spiritual Apertures would be the difference in whether or not one could break through to the True Lake Tier in the future.
Everyone knew that the foundation was the most important in cultivation. For cultivators, the Spirit Stream Realm was the foundation of cultivation, and everyone would do their best to strengthen their foundation.
This was because when a cultivator broke through to the Cloud River Tier, there would be a huge difference in the number of Spiritual Apertures. It was possible to break through between two hundred and forty apertures and three hundred and sixty apertures. This led to a huge disparity in the strength of cultivators in the Cloud River Tier.
In the Spirit Stream Tier, killing enemies of a higher tier and defeating stronger opponents as the weak was the exclusive practice of many cultivation geniuses, but in the Cloud River Tier, this was an extremely common occurrence.
This was the first time that someone had broken through to the Cloud River Tier right under Lu Ye's nose. He would have to take this step sooner or later, so he had been observing carefully, hoping to gain some experience. However, in the end, he found that breaking through to the Cloud River Tier was just as the rumors said — there was not much risk. As long as one opened up enough Spiritual Apertures, the process of breaking through would be smooth.
Almost at the instant that Giant Armor broke through to the Cloud River Tier, the space around him became slightly distorted.
Giant Armor obviously sensed something, and hurriedly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, the distorted space returned to normal, and Giant Armor disappeared without a trace.
Lu Ye immediately sent a message to Shui Yuanyuan.
After a short while, he received a reply. Giant Armor had already appeared in the Heavenly Mystery Hall of the Jade Blood Sect's main sect. Second Senior Sister was checking on his condition, and told Lu Ye not to worry.
Lu Ye naturally had nothing to worry about. Previously, in the Heaven Expanse Sect, Giant Armor had been saved by Second Senior Sister even when he had been so violently poisoned, so this was nothing.
Now that Giant Armor's problem had been resolved, Lu Ye turned to look at Yiyi …
He didn't know how to resolve Yiyi's problem. Yiyi couldn't break through to the Cloud River Tier and return to the Jade Blood Sect's main sect with the help of the Heavenly Mystery Hall's rules. Moreover, her spirit body couldn't eat anything.
"I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable." Yiyi seemed to sense what Lu Ye was thinking and took the initiative to comfort him.
"Has Hu Po eaten the royal jelly?"
"He has."
"It didn't work on you?" Yiyi was Hu Po's spirit, so if he could absorb some antidotes through Hu Po, perhaps it would work on Yiyi.
Yiyi shook her head and stepped forward to grab Lu Ye's arm, resting her head on his shoulder. "Don't think about these things. Rest well and recover first."
"If there's anything wrong, you have to tell me immediately!" Lu Ye warned her seriously.
Yiyi didn't respond.
Lu Ye raised a hand and flicked her forehead. "You hear me?"
"I know!" Yiyi raised a hand to rub her forehead, an aggrieved expression on her face.
Lu Ye checked his Battlefield Imprint. He had been unconscious for two days, so there were many messages left in the Battlefield Imprint. After checking, he found that most of them were asking about his current situation.
Many of them even asked him to hold on for a while. The Haotian Alliance was preparing to gather a group of people and force their way out. They also asked Lu Ye to cooperate with them and escape from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
There were also some Guardian Envoys from the Inner Circle who were on their way to support them. For example, Luo Fu from the Silver Light Island, Zhou Pei from the Cloud Soaring Palace, Zhao Li from the Sky Expanse Sect, and so on …
The messages were filled with concern and worry.
Lu Ye replied to them one by one, telling them that he was safe and that they didn't need to worry.
A hundred miles away from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, more than two thousand cultivators from the Haotian Alliance gathered in a secluded place. They were led by cultivators from several major sects in the War Province.
At this moment, a group of people surrounded Yu Lianzhou from the Beixuan Sword Sect, waiting for the result of his message with Lu Ye.
After half an hour, Yu Lianzhou finally ended the message.
"How is it?" A cultivator from the Vitality Sect asked.
Yu Lianzhou looked up at the crowd and said, "Daoist Lu said that we must not have a large-scale conflict with the Myriad Demons Ridge. Otherwise, he'll be the sinner of the Haotian Alliance."
Once such a large-scale conflict with more than a few thousand people happened, both the Haotian Alliance and the Myriad Demons Ridge would definitely suffer a lot of casualties. When Lu Ye learned that the Haotian Alliance was preparing to rescue him, he was most worried about this.
"He also said that he's very safe over there. He's built a safe zone with a formation, and the poison in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons can't invade it. Although he's injured, it's not serious. He's going to cultivate inside and only come out when he reaches the Heaven Nine Realm …"
The group of people had a strange expression when they heard that.
They had been on tenterhooks for Lu Ye, fearing that he would die in the Myriad Poison Forest. But now, it seemed that Lu Ye was living a comfortable life inside. If this was really the case, then they really couldn't have a large-scale conflict with the Myriad Devil Ridge.
"Brother Yu, do you think that Daoist Lu Ye is telling the truth?" Perhaps Lu Ye didn't want the Haotian Alliance to suffer too many casualties, so he pretended to comfort them.
"He swore a Heavenly Secret Oath in the message." Yu Lianzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, "So it shouldn't be fake."
"Then … should we still save him?"
That's right. If Lu Ye was living a good life in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, should they still save him?
If they didn't save him, everyone was already gathered here. If they saved him, it seemed like he didn't really need it …
Yu Lianzhou said, "We'll do what Daoist Lu told us to do. Right now, a large number of cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge are attracted to the Forest of a Thousand Poisons just to kill him. However, they don't dare to casually enter the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. This will only waste their cultivation time. He'll stay in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons and waste his time with the people from the Myriad Demons Ridge. When he reaches the Heaven Nine Realm, he'll naturally be able to escape. "
Lu Ye's Heaven Nine Realm cultivation could kill a Heaven Nine Realm cultivator. Previously, he used a powerful technique like the Fire Phoenix to reach the 33rd place on the Spirit Stream List. If he really cultivated to the Heaven Nine Realm, who in the Spirit Stream Battlefield would be his match?
When that time came, even if the Myriad Demons Ridge gathered more people here, he would still be able to escape.
"So we're just going to ignore him?"
"This Daoist Yi Ye is really amazing."
"If you ask me, since we're already here, we should at least kill some people from the Myriad Demons Ridge before leaving. It's not easy to gather so many people in the core region. We should at least get rid of someone, right?"
"Yes, yes. The Myriad Demons Ridge has made a big move this time. Now that we don't have to worry about Daoist Yi Ye's safety, we should return the favor. Otherwise, wouldn't it show that our Grand Sky Alliance has no capable people?"
The group of people kept shouting. The experts on the Spirit Stream List in charge also knew that with so many people gathered here, it was impossible for them to just disperse. Now that they didn't have to rescue Lu Ye, they had no more scruples and could move more flexibly.
They immediately gathered together to discuss. Soon, more than two thousand people split up and scattered in all directions.
Since they didn't have to rescue Lu Ye and couldn't rush into the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, they would go and kill the cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge who came to help. In any case, they couldn't return empty-handed. Who cared if they had dates or not?
While more than two thousand people from the Grand Sky Alliance scattered, the cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge were thinking about a question.
Why wasn't Lu Yi Ye dead yet?
