The three reasons behind ape gods' sudden increase in strength in the brief period of two-three months. But the system also said that their advancement would soon come to stop. Their bottleneck would be their physical strength reaching thirty oxen.

The reason for that was that the strength of thirty oxen touched the limits of their body's innate talent.

Apart from this, after their strength reached thirty oxen, the pressure of the sea at three thousand meters would no longer make them feel any suppression. Because of that, their evolution due to the surroundings would also stop.

As for the power grains, after the ape gods ate large amount of them, their bodies would reach a state of saturation and amplification that it would no longer improve anymore.

Despite this, Li Yunmu was still quite satisfied.

If the three hundred six-limbed ape gods could attain the strength of thirty oxen within half year, they would no longer be helpless against high level flux experts.

When the time came to fight, given their numbers and unity, flux experts wouldn't pose much of a threat to them, which was the most important thing.

After maturing to that stage, not only would the ape gods attain the strength to move independently in the Origin World, they would also be able to provide great assistance to Li Yunmu.

But that wasn't enough; Li Yunmu didn't want their progress to stop there.

When Ba Ape and the others saw their master take out three cultivation relaying globes, their eyes went wide and began to shine brightly.

There's was nothing surprising about it. After all, there was no one who would desire anything more compared to cultivation relaying globes. Since the ape gods had cultivated Chaotian Sect' secret technique and Chaotian Eight Steps, they clearly understood the benefits of human cultivation methods.

Great Sun Secret Technique had allowed them to cultivate the flame energy. Every time they applied their strength, they didn't have to rely on explosive physical power, but could use the burning flame energy, which could be considered as a type of flux energy.

Among them, Shan Ape's cultivation of the Great Sun Secret Technique was the fastest and most profound. It had already achieved minor threshold where it could launch a fiery fist.

Chaotian Eight Steps was an explosive type footwork technique. When using that technique, the user's steps would become swifter and fiercer. It then greatly transformed ape gods' original explosive power which relied on instinct rather than any technique.

Chaotian Eight Steps allowed the ape gods who possessed intellect and explosive speed to no longer charge forward clumsily like before, but use skill for that. And the best at it was Mountain Ape.

This was the reason why Li Yunmu had made him the leader of the patrol squad. While most of the ape gods had only cultivated to three or four steps, Mountain Ape had far surpassed his fellow companions and reached the sixth step.

The fierce and explosive agility which he possessed was something which his fellow companions who had cultivated to only three or four steps found could only dream about.

Thus, when Li Yunmu brought out an even more powerful cultivation method, the three ape gods naturally looked at the three cultivation relaying globe with great longing.

"This is a limit training body refining technique which mainly focuses on defense. By cultivating this technique, you will be able to display the power of your physical body to the pinnacle. When the time comes, even when not using the iron pistil wood's aqua armor, you won't have to worry about being torn apart by tiger fishes based on your physical defense alone."

When Li Yunmu introduced Cross Cover Armor, the three ape gods found it extremely difficult to control themselves. They were full of excitement. For them, that technique was even more suitable than Li Yunmu since it was a cultivation method for purely the physical body, which they relied on the most. The cultivation relaying globes became the most precious treasure for them.

It was clear that Cross Cover Armor which strengthened personal defense was the most precious cultivation method for ape gods. When joined with their half-undying body, it would increase their combat capability by a few levels.

Since Li Yunmu understood it, how couldn't the ape gods understand it?

"Hou hou…"

Ba Ape hurriedly took the cultivation relaying globe, looking anxious about starting to cultivate it right away. It was howling as if blaming Li Yunmu for not giving it to all the ape gods when it was such a suitable cultivation method for them.

If all the ape gods could cultivate it, then their race's strength would certainly increase.

Li Yunmu guessed the meaning of Ba Ape's gaze, but slowly shook his head. "It isn't as simple as you think. The most important thing is that manufacturing cultivation relaying globe requires space elements which I haven't yet found in this Origin World, and my current reserves are getting depleted quickly."

In fact, Li Yunmu was quite distressed.

Although he was able to find a substitute for flux energy crystals, flux binding pills, he hadn't been able to discover any replacements for space elements. Because of that, he was forced to live on the previously accumulated amount for the past year. Because of that, the amount of space elements he had was less than five digits.

Using one space element meant one less was left. The three ape gods felt sad upon hearing it, and Ba Ape even patted its chest and howled as if saying that once they became more powerful, they would help Li Yunmu search for more space elements.

Hearing this, Li Yunmu could only smile. He naturally wouldn't reveal his ape gods to the Origin World before they had matured to becoming formidable. After all, they were one of his greatest trump cards.

He had to wait until they possessed sufficient strength, only then could he reveal them in public.

"Alright, now you three must strive hard to cultivate. As for the matter of leading the squads, hand over these responsibilities to your assistants. You three must focus on cultivating and becoming more powerful first, only then will I feel like it's okay to leave the ape gods under your command. Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome for me."

After some pondering, Li Yunmu took out another ten cultivation relaying globe of Cross Cover Armour—it was the largest amount he could produce.

After he created them, his space elements dropped to pitiful three digits. Furthermore given that he had obtained the Profound Dragon Cultivation, Profound Dragon Strength and Profound Dragon Steps, all of whom had no conditions and could be transferred to ape gods, Li Yunmu felt quite regretful.

But that regret didn't last for long since the origins of the Profound Dragon Series was quite mysterious, and Li Yunmu didn't plan to reveal them to the world before obtaining definite information about their origins, lest he invite a disaster onto himself.

The ten cultivation relaying globes was his limit. He gave them to Ba Ape, Mountain Ape, and Shan Ape so that they could choose the candidates who would cultivate them. After all, they were the ones who spent their days with the other ape gods and so naturally knew who was more suitable and had higher innate talent.
