Chapter 1386: Be More Confident

“Sister Liu Li.” Shi Xueyun smiled sweetly, her eyes flicking briefly toward Yi Tianyun.

“Not bad, not bad. A wife chosen by Tianyun really is different. Your constitution is quite similar to mine—perfect for cultivating together.”

Domain Lord Liu Li possessed a water-type constitution, while Shi Xueyun had an ice-type one. Fundamentally, the two were quite alike.

“Alright, Sister Liu Li.” Shi Xueyun’s eyes lit up. She knew how capable Domain Lord Liu Li was, and cultivating together with a powerhouse of similar attributes would definitely benefit her.

The two quickly grew familiar with each other. After exchanging introductions, everyone understood each other’s roles, making it easy to know who to approach if any issues arose.

However, no matter how Elder Gou Huang and the others looked at them, they couldn’t see much beyond one thing—their cultivation levels were too low. Other than that, they couldn’t tell anything special.

This was a perfectly normal judgment. At first meeting, the most intuitive thing to assess was cultivation. If someone’s cultivation was too weak, they usually wouldn’t be taken seriously—much less treated as equals.

Strength was always the most important factor. So it wasn’t that they were being arrogant; it was simply first impressions. Later performance would matter more. With Yi Tianyun present, they naturally wouldn’t say anything disrespectful and would discuss matters properly.

Still, it felt a bit awkward. They had never discussed affairs with people whose cultivation was so much lower than theirs. The gap was simply too large—almost like a generational divide.

“Now let’s discuss the terms of cooperation.”

Yi Yuwei stepped forward and began speaking at length, clearly laying out all the details.

“After coming here, the most important things are loyalty and following our arrangements when carrying out tasks. We won’t force any conditions on you. If you want to take on missions, you can. If you don’t, that’s fine too…”

There was no formal meeting room—they discussed everything right here. Swift, decisive, and efficient, without wasting a second.

This had always been their style of handling affairs, and it hadn’t changed.

Elder Gou Huang and the others frowned slightly, feeling it was improper to discuss matters here. But out of respect for Yi Tianyun, they listened.

Yet the more they listened, the more shocked they became.

Everything she said was extremely well planned—thorough, meticulous, and nearly flawless. Every arrangement was reasonable and fair, with no attempt to pressure them, and discussions were clearly approached from both sides’ perspectives.

By the time it ended, they realized they had no room to argue at all. Everything was airtight. All they needed to do was nod and carry it out—without any resentment whatsoever.

“That’s roughly the arrangement. Is there anything that needs to be added?”

Yi Yuwei and the others stood before them, completely unafraid.

They were fully aware of how strong these people were—and that they came from a second-grade God Domain. When they had first entered the God Domain world, it had been like stepping into a completely new universe. After learning so much, they realized just how small they were and how much they still had to do.

That realization drove them to work and cultivate even harder—desperately trying to keep up with Yi Tianyun. Even so, they still couldn’t match his pace.

Now, discussing matters face-to-face, they knew this was their moment. They absolutely couldn’t fall behind—this was the time to prove their worth. Their cultivation might be weaker, but that didn’t mean they were useless!

And now, they had left the elders completely speechless.

“N-no, nothing needs to be added.”

Elder Gou Huang smacked his lips. If discussions were always this smooth, decisions could be made immediately—no arguing, no wasted time.

“Since there’s nothing to add, then elders, please make your own arrangements. If anything comes up, you can discuss it with them. Their opinions are the same as mine.”

Yi Tianyun smiled and nodded, essentially delegating full authority to them.

He trusted their efficiency and methods completely. The rapid transformation of the Three Realms God Domain in such a short time was all thanks to them.

Their cultivation might not be the highest, but when it came to planning and strategy, they were unmatched.

Soon, everyone dispersed to attend to their own tasks. Having just arrived, there was a lot to do—especially the plans they had just agreed upon.

Domain Lord Liu Li left as well to handle her own matters.

Once they were gone, the women let out deep breaths, finally relaxing.

“It’s finally over… the pressure was really intense.”

“Yeah. The cultivation gap alone—just the unconscious aura they give off—is incredibly stressful.”

“Luckily, they didn’t object. I thought we’d be argued down.”

They all sighed in relief, having half-expected to be criticized or have all their plans rejected.

“No need to worry. You all did great—perfectly.”

Yi Tianyun gave a thumbs-up. “And you were very imposing. There’s nothing to be afraid of—aren’t I here?”

“Even so, we still worry. We’re afraid of making a bad first impression…”

Yi Yuwei and the others rolled their eyes. Only they knew how much pressure they’d been under.

With such a huge disparity in overall strength, falling into a weak position would make management difficult.

“You need to be more confident.”

Yi Tianyun thought for a moment and continued,

“You’ve always done an excellent job. Compared to most God Domains, your management is far better.”

He added, “Even compared to ordinary third-grade God Domains, I don’t think their management is better than yours.”

“That exaggerated?”

They clicked their tongues. They knew how powerful third-grade God Domains were—comparing themselves to them felt unbelievable.

“It’s the truth.” Yi Tianyun smiled.

“Compared to most God Domains, you’re outstanding—truly. Don’t feel inferior. Your cultivation may be weaker, but you’ve cultivated for far less time than they have. One day, we’ll surpass them by a huge margin!”

“Mm!”

The women nodded firmly, their beautiful eyes filled with excitement and motivation. Yi Tianyun’s encouragement meant more to them than anything else.

As they went off to get busy, Shi Xueyun came over and pinched him hard, giving him a glare.

“So now you’ve got another ‘older sister,’ huh? Looks like you’re pretty close?”

“Cough, cough… it’s nothing like that. We just trained together before and went through a few battles. The relationship gradually improved.”

Yi Tianyun replied awkwardly.

“Hmph.”

Shi Xueyun rubbed the spot she’d pinched and laughed.

“Fine, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s get back to work. I believe it won’t be long before we surpass those second-grade God Domains—maybe even third-grade ones!”

“Isn’t that a given?” Yi Tianyun smiled calmly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

“Who knows—maybe we’ll jump straight to a fourth-grade God Domain. Compared to that, these are nothing.”

Shi Xueyun soon went off to attend to her own duties. With the merger of the two factions, there was an overwhelming amount of work to handle, and there was still plenty to stay busy with.

The most relaxed person was undoubtedly Yi Tianyun—though it could only be considered temporary leisure. For now, all he needed to do was wait, waiting for Divine Lord Yu Qin to lure that Grand Elder over so he could eliminate him directly.

“Ding! Successfully caused a second-grade God Domain to join your faction. Gained 1,000 compressed EXP and 1,000 compressed proficiency. At the same time, ‘I Am the Domain Lord’ has received a minor enhancement, increasing its power by five times!”

“There’s even a reward like this?”

Yi Tianyun felt delighted. This was exactly the kind of reward he liked. He hadn’t expected that having another faction join him would grant such a special bonus—and one that was so straightforward and brutal. Even the effects of his title had been strengthened.

This meant that if more factions continued to join him, the power of his title would keep stacking, growing stronger and stronger. The only issue was that convincing other factions to join him was still extremely difficult at the moment.

This made him think of the Tianyu God Domain. If they could join his side, not only would it expand his current strength, it would also further enhance his title’s power. Why wouldn’t he want that?

“Tianyu God Domain… but getting them to join won’t be easy.”

Yi Tianyun shook his head. Given the current situation, other God Domains were unlikely to choose submission. Rather than obey someone else’s command, they would prefer to rule themselves. No one would casually hand over authority.

This matter could only be set aside for now.

“I wonder how things are going on Divine Lord Yu Qin’s side…”

What concerned Yi Tianyun most was this issue—it would affect the future course of events.

Crippling most of the elders meant Sacred Peak God Domain would suffer massive losses. When competition began later, things would undoubtedly become much easier. Even with other God Domains present, Sacred Peak God Domain had already been dealt a heavy blow.

While Yi Tianyun was worrying about this, Divine Lord Yu Qin finally returned to Sacred Peak God Domain. Under the gaze of numerous powerful figures, she rushed in while severely injured and dropped to her knees.

“What happened?”

When Domain Lord Sacred Peak and the others saw Divine Lord Yu Qin, they were immediately shocked—especially the Grand Elder, who sprang to his feet.

“Domain Lord Sacred Peak, I—I’ve returned from gathering intelligence… all the others are dead. I barely managed to escape alive. I’ve confirmed the general situation… the elders were captured alive and imprisoned within the Three Realms God Domain. As for their exact location, I’m not sure… The experts there are extremely insidious. Their cultivation isn’t very strong, but they rely heavily on traps…”

After barely finishing those words, Divine Lord Yu Qin passed out on the spot. She had lost too much blood, and her injuries were extremely severe—so severe that her life was hanging by a thread. Without immediate treatment, she could very well die.

“Take her away for treatment!”

The Grand Elder stood up and waved his hand, signaling the guards to carry her away. His expression was extremely grim.

The guards immediately took Divine Lord Yu Qin away for treatment. None of the Heavenly Venerables present bothered with further inspections or soul-searching. In her condition, attempting that would likely kill her before yielding any results.

After Divine Lord Yu Qin was taken away, everyone’s expressions grew solemn. From her report alone, they had already learned crucial information: the elders were still alive, they had fallen mainly due to ambushes and traps.

Heavenly Venerables were powerful, but even they could fall victim to schemes. From this alone, it was clear that the Three Realms God Domain was far from simple.

“Despicable! Truly despicable!”

The Grand Elder clenched his teeth, his gaze icy.

“So it really was ambushes. No wonder Heavenly Venerable Beiyue’s final message mentioned ‘ambush’! But since they’re still alive, we must launch a rescue. If we don’t, they’ll either be killed later—or used as bargaining chips to force concessions from us.”

“Heavenly Venerable Nanming is right,” another Heavenly Venerable stood up in agreement.

“They’ll likely use them as leverage, possibly to force us to withdraw from the God Domain War. Instead of waiting, we should strike first! Even if Wan Tian God Domain is behind this, we must fight them head-on!”

Domain Lord Sacred Peak’s face darkened. This wasn’t a simple matter—it depended on the Heavenly Venerables sent down from the Inner God Domain.

“Senior brothers, how should we decide this?” he asked.

“If they’re alive, then rescue is indeed necessary,” one Heavenly Venerable said after thinking for a moment.

“If we miss the opportunity, we truly could be threatened. But even then, withdrawing from the God Domain War is impossible. It seems we must personally intervene. Even if it costs us some fortune, we must rescue them—and destroy the Three Realms God Domain, to show the other God Domains the power of Sacred Peak God Domain!”

“My lord, that absolutely won’t do!”

Heavenly Venerable Nanming hurriedly objected.

“Fortune is extremely important—especially when determining the spawning location of the Token Core. If our fortune declines, it could appear far away, making it much harder to seize.”

The involvement of Inner God Domain experts could indeed affect fortune. Helping once or twice was fine, but too much interference would cause serious trouble—especially regarding where the Token Core appeared.

This wasn’t speculation—it had happened before.

“Oh? So you intend to go yourselves?”

That Heavenly Venerable frowned and swept his gaze over them.

“Are you capable?”

“We were careless before. This time will be different,” Heavenly Venerable Nanming said firmly.

“We’ll make full preparations and bring five Heavenly Venerables. I’ll personally lead the team. As long as we aren’t careless, we’ll definitely succeed!”

Based on Divine Lord Yu Qin’s report, the failure had been caused by negligence. The enemy’s overall cultivation wasn’t strong.

He had no reason to doubt her. She was injured to this extent and bound by an oath. Moreover, she had no connection to the Three Realms God Domain—there was no reason for deception.

“Very well. Just don’t make another mistake. This is a critical moment,” the Heavenly Venerable said coldly.

“We’ll get it done. If we fail, I’ll offer my head!”

Heavenly Venerable Nanming swore a military oath. In his view, as long as they weren’t ambushed, there was nothing to fear.

This time, they would be fully prepared before setting out.

Soon, five Heavenly Venerables were dispatched. After some time passed, Divine Lord Yu Qin finally awoke, her body still extremely weak.

“Five Heavenly Venerables…” she murmured.

“I hope you can create a miracle this time. I can only help this much.”

This was a classic bitter-flesh scheme. She had brutally injured herself and returned in a near-death state, ensuring no one would dare soul-search her.

It was incredibly dangerous.

There was no denying it—Divine Lord Yu Qin was ruthless enough with herself.
