The spiritual energy within the Formation was incredibly rich, but the absorption rate for martial practitioners was limited, barely enough to sustain their consumption.
It seed to be calculated so that the number of people inside could maintain the Formation's operation and prevent excessive depletion of spiritual energy.
Ye Liuyun looked curiously at Qiong Qi, not quite understanding why these people were doing this.
In Ye Liuyun's impression, people were never used to setting up Formations.
Qiong Qi transmitted a ssage to Ye Liuyun, explaining, "These martial practitioners are acting as live sacrifices for the Formation. Their absorption rate is still not fast enough, so they can only sacrifice themselves! This indicates that their Formation skills are too low and can only be achieved by such a clumsy thod."
As Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi chatted, they both understood the grim situation here.
Out of two hundred thousand people, only a few hundred remained. And they were still consuming themselves to sustain the Formation. It was unlikely they would last much longer.
"Who are you people?" an elder at the Ninth level Sacred Majesty realm asked.
He was one of the few elders left among the few hundred people.
"Jiuyang Sacred Majesty!" Mu Yuqing unexpectedly knew this elder. It seed he was a leader in the resistance against the foreign race.
She first saluted before introducing herself and Ye Liuyun.
Learning that they were the reinforcents sent out earlier and that many martial practitioners had gathered, the expressions of the group slightly eased.
"But how did they transform into Corpse Demons?" the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty continued.
Only then did Ye Liuyun notice that the light screen ford by the Formation allowed people inside to see outside, but those outside couldn't see inside.
Mu Yuqing hurriedly explained, "Jiuyang Sacred Majesty, I have confird his Divine Soul. Please believe them!"
The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty also nodded, waved to the crowd to disperse, and then addressed them.
"I certainly believe them. Those who can co directly into the Formation don't need confirmation. The real Corpse Demons and foreign races can't co in!"
The people were rely curious about the arrival of Ye Liuyun and the others, showing no excessive joy. They only cast a lingering gaze at the leopard before leaving.
Ye Liuyun could tell that these people had lost their fighting spirit. Their eyes were dim. But for the leopard, its eyes shone brightly.
"Alas! With just a few of you, even if you have secret techniques, it won't change the outco!" the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty sighed and beckoned them to follow, explaining the situation as they walked.
"Two hundred thousand martial practitioners, and now there are only a few hundred left. These young people are all we managed to save."
He pointed to the martial practitioners sitting on the ground, "These old folks are sacrificing themselves to maintain the formation and give the young people a chance to survive.
Your return couldn't have co at a worse ti. We can't hold on much longer. Soon, I will also beco one of them, using up my energy until I die!"
Jiuyang Sacred Majesty lanted while talking.
"It's because your formation skills are too poor. Even with the world's Power of Origin, it's useless!" Qiong Qi couldn't help but interject.
The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty, instead of getting angry, nodded. It seed that after these tribulations and setbacks, he had lost his temper.
"You're right! When we thought about defense, we couldn't find a strong enough formation master!"
"It's all because we were too proud before and didn't protect the formation masters! The remaining two old guys know a little about formations. They've tried their best, but this is all they could do."
Only then did Ye Liuyun realize that the two remaining elders were the ones who set up the Formation, otherwise, they would have gone to sacrifice themselves.
"Now we have no food or resources for cultivation. These young people are relying on the world's Power of Origin. Since we don't need it, it will be taken by the foreign race sooner or later."
After saying this, the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty spread his hands, leaving Ye Liuyun and the others to figure it out themselves.
"No wonder those people just now looked at the leopard as if they wanted to eat it!" Feng Biao muttered under his breath.
Mu Yuqing quietly put away the leopard and took out her stored food, handing it to the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty.
"Sacred Majesty, this is the food I've stored. Please take it and share it with everyone!" Mu Yuqing said to the Jiuyang Sacred Majesty.
"Their realm is such that even if they don't eat, they won't die!" The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty waved his hand, rejecting Mu Yuqing's offering.
Then he said to them, "In a few days, they will form a raiding team to go out and assassinate the foreign race. If anyone wants to eat sothing then, you can take it out again!"
"Isn't that sending them to die? There are so many Corpse Demons outside. They might be killed before they even get close to the foreign race!" Feng Biao exclaid.
The Jiuyang Sacred Majesty sighed helplessly, "What else can we do? Waiting here will yield the sa result!"
After that, he pointed to a deep pit ahead, "Inside there is the Power of Origin of this world. If you want to use it for cultivation, go ahead!"
With that, he no longer paid attention to Ye Liuyun and the others, sitting down to cultivate with closed eyes.
Mu Yuqing and Feng Biao also fell silent, not expecting that after all their hardships, they would return to see this outco.
The contrast was too great, and for a mont, they couldn't accept it.
Qiong Qi transmitted to Ye Liuyun, "You should hurry up and cultivate, synchronize the spatial stone with this place, and absorb the Power of Origin as soon as possible."
"I'll talk to that old man, help them set up the formation, then set up the passage here, and negotiate the terms with them. After everything is set up, I'll call you, and we'll go back to the Central Continent and set up an entrance there, connecting the passage."
Ye Liuyun nodded and went to the place near the deep pit to cultivate, where the Power of Origin was closest.
Currently, those young martial practitioners were not cultivating, and so were even sleeping. They probably had no hope left and were preparing to enjoy themselves before they died.
Even those who were cultivating didn't seem too focused. They were just passing the ti with cultivation because there was nothing else to do.
Ye Liuyun went to the area near the deep pit and finally saw how abundant the energy of the Power of Origin of a world was.
The energy was so dense that even the spiritual energy it emitted could resist the probing of martial practitioners. They couldn't see the full picture of the Power of Origin at all.
Ye Liuyun could only see a dense ball of energy that emitted a dazzling white light and exuded imnse spiritual energy.
"What a rare opportunity!"
Ye Liuyun imdiately returned to the Xuankong Stone, synchronized it with the outside world, and began to absorb the spiritual energy.
He and his clone were fully absorbed. Not only did they absorb it themselves, but Ye Liuyun also released spiritual energy into the spatial world.
This was the Power of Origin of a grand world. It was much more powerful than the original forces of the secret realms he had encountered before.
