Guo Xiao also gave Ye Liuyun a general overview of the situation here.

After getting a rough understanding, Ye Liuyun had Guo Xiao lead him away from the alien stronghold. The altar was located in what used to be the royal city of the Wumo Realm. Once they left the city unnoticed, Ye Liuyun pulled Guo Xiao into his spatial world and used his spatial power to travel into the void of space, marking the coordinates of this world.

To avoid detection by the aliens, he refrained from summoning his Falcon or the Nine-Headed Netherdragon. Instead, he relied solely on his spatial abilities to observe the Wumo Realm from above.

Occasionally, he encountered aliens who also cultivated spatial power. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Liuyun captured two of them, branding them with slave seals to extract whatever information they possessed.

These two alien warriors turned out to be surprisingly well-informed. They had been part of the invasion force from the very beginning, witnessing everything from the construction of the altar to the complete subjugation of the Wumo Realm. They were even familiar with the operation of the altar itself.

From them, Ye Liuyun learned that all central altars could serve as gateways back to the aliens’ homeworld—but only for the golden-armored elites. Silver-armored warriors could only return if accompanied by a golden-armored superior. No one else, no matter how powerful, could go back without a direct summons from the homeworld. And the alien stronghold rarely ever called anyone back.

Following their lead, Ye Liuyun then took control of the commander and deputy commander of this alien legion.

This so-called "army of a hundred thousand" was actually far larger—comprising a hundred thousand aliens and over two hundred thousand corpse demons. The aliens didn’t count the corpse demons as part of their official forces, but for Ye Liuyun, it meant acquiring three hundred thousand combatants in one fell swoop.

Next, he converted all the human cultivators within this legion into corpse demons. Their presence had made it impossible for him to move freely without raising suspicion.

Now, he could finally operate openly without hiding. Still, he maintained the guise of an alien commander, attending their strategy meetings in disguise.

Ye Liuyun continued gathering information from the commander about the alien forces in the region.

There were approximately two million alien troops stationed here. Some had already been dispatched to the Sacred Land earlier. This particular army had remained because they were stationed too far from the altar to be mobilized in time.

Now, they had received new orders to converge toward the altar, preparing to launch another assault on the Sacred Land. Wan Teng had even set up a hidden altar on a deserted island near the Sacred Land, allowing them to teleport directly for a surprise attack.

Moreover, nearly five million additional alien troops would soon arrive as reinforcements, ensuring their stronghold in the Warlock Demon Realm wouldn’t be left defenseless. They would also be reinforced with elite warriors clad in gold and silver armor to lead the charge against the Sacred Land.

"Where do these aliens get so many soldiers?" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but wonder.

Through soul-searching, he learned that alien offspring matured in just a few years—far faster than humans—and each litter produced five or six young, making their reproduction rate alarmingly high.

Deep within the Warlock Demon Realm lay a specialized breeding ground for alien young, guarded by a formidable overseer. Soldiers who bore offspring would send them there to be raised.

In the alien ranks, males and females fought side by side, indistinguishable in their armored uniforms. Only Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils could discern the difference, as ordinary humans would struggle to tell them apart.

He also discovered that these alien forces had been stationed far from the altar to scavenge for corpse demons—both a food source and a means to bolster their numbers. Ordinary soldiers relied on consuming corpse demons to grow stronger, as there weren’t enough demon crystals or energy orbs to supply the entire army.

"Do alien armies ever fight among themselves?" Ye Liuyun pressed the commander.

"Large-scale battles are forbidden," the commander replied, "but individually, the strong may devour the weak."

Ye Liuyun understood that human morality didn’t apply to these creatures. They would consume almost any living thing—though eating their own kind was always the last resort.

After learning all this, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of a question and asked them, "Do you have Three-Eyed Tribesmen here?"

"We have ordinary Three-Eyed Tribesmen, but none capable of attacking with their third eye. If we encounter one like that, they must be protected, reported to higher-ups, and then the Golden-Armored Tribesmen will come to take them away."

"Rumor has it the Golden-Armored Tribesmen want to use those Three-Eyed Tribesmen to cultivate Golden-Armored Three-Eyed Tribesmen. But no one knows if they’ve succeeded yet."

These tribesmen were aware of the Three-Eyed Tribesmen but didn’t know their whereabouts. They could only confirm that their army had none capable of attacking with their third eye.

Moreover, most Three-Eyed Tribesmen could never use their third eye to attack in their entire lives, so they weren’t highly valued and were simply treated as ordinary soldiers.

Ye Liuyun had them conduct a count, and it turned out there were over three thousand Three-Eyed Tribesmen in this army.

He then took out the bone club he had obtained from the powerful tribesman and showed it to them, asking if they recognized it.

The moment they saw it, their expressions turned reverent. They explained it was the leg bone of a deceased powerful tribesman, buried underground for years and mutated over time.

Such mutations were rare, making this artifact an exceptionally precious treasure among their kind.

Upon learning this, Ye Liuyun handed it over to Qiong Qi and the other weapon forgers, instructing them to craft it into a proper weapon.

After gathering all the information, Ye Liuyun immediately notified Yu Xiaofeng to send people to search for the altars Wan Teng had set up, ensuring no hidden threats remained.

"Based on Feiyan’s speed, they’re likely about three months’ voyage from the satellite island," Ye Liuyun said, giving only a rough estimate of the location.

He also ordered Yu Xiaofeng to prepare the troops for battle, planning to bring them to the tribesmen’s headquarters for a full-scale confrontation. Xiao Mu’an was notified as well, tasked with gathering two million martial artists at the ninth level of the Immortal Realm for Yu Xiaofeng to train.

Ye Liuyun then commanded this army of tribesmen to hold their position while they revealed the location of their breeding base. His avatar collected nearly a hundred thousand corpse demons, ready to uproot the tribesmen’s future.

Destroying these young tribesmen would cut off their reinforcements. Even if they wanted to replenish their forces, they’d have to transfer troops from other headquarters.

When Ye Liuyun and his avatar arrived above the breeding base via the void, the sight stunned them.

Tens of thousands of young tribesmen were being raised there, many already taller than humans. What shocked Ye Liuyun even more was the presence of human martial artists teaching them formations, weapon forging, and alchemy.

The defending force numbered only thirty thousand—not too large—and the young tribesmen were weak, the strongest barely at the first or second level of the Immortal Realm. Ye Liuyun wasn’t particularly worried.
