"That's not right, didn't they say you needed to be level 70 to enter? This guy isn't even level 70 yet," Le Mi Deng said, watching Ye Yun get back up, his voice filled with confusion.
"Heh, even though you Titans are in the second universe, your intelligence is always in a drunken state. Have you ever seen anyone at level twenty-three this monstrous?" Bo Wo retorted, nudging the large man.
Ye Yun didn't notice their presence; they weren't even showing up on his map.
After standing up, Ye Yun slowly cast 'Healing Touch' and 'Prayer' on himself, then sat down and watched the battle unfolding in the sky.
The objective of this swarm of Cloud Devouring Ants was clear: they were drawn by the divine beast's aura. Thus, their focus remained locked on Hei Yi.
"Xiao Hei, Gan Badie!" Ye Yun leaped onto a large rock, cheering on the black ant in the air while not forgetting to use a couple of skills.
After Ye Yun fell, Hei Yi's form had descended to an altitude of a thousand meters. It was locked in a fierce battle with its own kind in the sky. Drops of Hong Beast essence blood, spirit stones, and other items rained down into Ye Yun's inventory.
This was the most wonderful thing about grinding for experience and leveling up.
After more than ten minutes of intense fighting, Hei Yi finally annihilated all the Cloud Devouring Ants.
Unfortunately, it was still a little short of level twenty-four, which made Ye Yun quite displeased. However, he had killed over twelve hundred Cloud Devouring Ants, and according to Hei Yi's earlier words, he had almost wiped out an entire nest of them.
"Whatever, establishing a home is the priority," Ye Yun stored the Golden Crow in his mount space, then leaped onto Hei Yi's head. After indicating the direction to Hei Yi, he sat down and began to tally his gains from this battle.
Spirit stones: 1237, Hong Beast essence blood: 463 drops, Double Experience Card (Small) * 5, Myriad Phenomena Stone * 325, Cloud Taming Token * 398, Comprehension Pill * 5, Flowing Fire Sword Fragment * 9...
Looking at the weapon and armor fragments that occupied over forty inventory slots, Ye Yun felt a sense of helplessness. Fortunately, the spirit stones were good, 1237 of them, which was equivalent to over ten trillion gold coins!
Of course, the most important thing was that he no longer had to worry about leveling up too slowly. Ye Yun even felt confident enough to reclaim the top spot on the next level rankings. Although he didn't care about the prize money, he still felt a sense of loss from not being first on the leaderboard.
Rank: 251067298, Ye Yun, Level: 23.
Seeing his rank advance by over three hundred million places, Ye Yun's mood improved considerably. Now, at level 23, his rank was just over two hundred fifty million. This indicated that it wouldn't be long before the talent leaderboard was unlocked. The condition for unlocking the talent leaderboard was for two hundred fifty million players worldwide to reach level 25.
"System, I want to add 100e attribute points to HP, physical defense, and magic defense respectively!" It was not Ye Yun's style to have attributes and not use them. If he wasn't afraid of the nutrient solution in reality not keeping up, Ye Yun would have directly added all his attributes.
Tsk, this feeling...
Ye Yun closed his eyes, carefully feeling the changes within his body. Who could have imagined that in his previous life, he would have toiled day and night for every single attribute point, a liver cancer patient working himself to death? Now, he was countless years ahead of Earth's players, ten years, a hundred years? Ye Yun dared not even imagine.
Beneath the forest, inside the giant vine egg, the group of five watched the direction Ye Yun had left in silence for a long time. They were truly demoralized by Ye Yun's strength, especially the two recovery skills he cast on himself after falling; each numerical increment was equivalent to their maximum HP.
"Boss, should we still follow?" Bo Wo asked, swallowing hard as he watched the black ant's massive silhouette shrink in the distance.
"I think we can follow and see. Maybe the great god will take pity on us and bestow us a few spirit stones to play with," Le Mi Deng said, his fighting spirit soaring, but his words left the others speechless.
What did he mean by "bestow"? You are the young patriarch of the Titan clan, from the second universe, and you have no backbone?
Hearing Le Mi Deng's words, Mu Tuo hesitated. Honestly, he was also extremely curious, even feeling a sudden urge to acknowledge Ye Yun as his elder brother, but he was held back by pride.
"Keep the map open, it's fine," Yue Hou's words were always few, but they often achieved decisive results.
"Alright, then we'll follow."
Mu Tuo gritted his teeth. A moth flew out from the grass on top of his head, radiating a vibrant green aura. The giant vine egg immediately rolled like a ball, moving rapidly through the forest, while the five people inside sat on several vine chairs, completely unaffected by the rolling.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun and Hei Yi leisurely flew towards the location Ye Yun had designated, enjoying the scenery of the primitive ancient forest. Finally, after three hours, they reached their destination.
At this moment, the vast sun was setting in the west, dyeing the entire sky red. In the distance, occasionally, dozens of birds could be seen flying towards the setting sun.
"The scenery in this world is truly breathtaking. I wonder what the sea three hundred li to the east is like. I'll definitely have to go camping and watch the sunrise when I have time," Ye Yun stretched, looking at the clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
Whether it was his previous life or after his resurrection, this seemed to be the first time Ye Yun felt so relaxed.
"Let's go, Xiao Hei, fly us to your maximum altitude. We'll build a city for ourselves in this world there!"
Although Ye Yun's current strength was more than enough to enter Longevity Mountain in the Primordial World, for now, Ye Yun felt that the New Mortal Continent had even greater potential.
This was because there were more players here, and it was the first 'newbie village' for all players entering the Primordial World. In terms of commercial value, for the next five to ten years, it would be the most important region for all the races in the universe.
At an altitude of fifty thousand meters, the wind raged, and Ye Yun almost became a free-falling object again.
"Does the player wish to use 10 Cloud Taming Tokens to establish a place of refuge here?" After clicking to use the Cloud Taming Tokens, Ye Yun heard the system prompt.
"Confirm!"
The ten Cloud Taming Tokens instantly seemed to be guided, flying in all directions around Ye Yun, spinning and emitting thick white mist about a hundred meters away from him.
Soon, the mist solidified, and the wind lessened. Ye Yun controlled Hei Yi to slowly descend into the white mist, but Hei Yi's body was too large, and more than half of it was still exposed to the strong winds.
"System prompt: Player's place of refuge has been successfully established. Please name your territory."
"Cloud Heaven City!"
