"Are you serious?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat speechless.
"Of course I'm serious!
I must win some respect for my grandfather, so he won't underestimate me in the future.
Big Brother, you dared to charge into Yinxia Star, kill so many Pang Clan members, and even captured everyone from the genius gathering at once! Just from that, I can tell you're someone who pulls off big moves!
I have a feeling following you can't be wrong!
Big Brother, I've made my choice, I'm sticking with you!"
Yang Xiaohu's tone was utterly resolute.
"Alright then, you can follow along.
Just don't say I ended up dragging you down," Ye Yunfei said with a laugh.
"No way, Big Brother! If you're willing to take me, this little brother is eternally grateful!" Yang Xiaohu hurriedly replied.
"Alright then.
Enough talk.
Get prepared properly. I'll help you break through to the Sea Splitting Realm."
Ye Yunfei declared.
This Yang Xiaohu was currently at the late stage of the Star Bridge Realm. One more breakthrough, and he would reach the early stage of the Sea Splitting Realm.
"Big Brother, you're really going to help me break through?" Yang Xiaohu was taken aback.
"Of course. Did you think I was joking?
First, properly regulate your spiritual energy.
Half a day from now, I'll assist you in your breakthrough."
Ye Yunfei said, then his figure flickered as he departed directly.
"Got it."
Feeling somewhat expectant, Yang Xiaohu sat cross-legged and began circulating his energy to regulate the spiritual power within his body.

Half a day later.
"Take these."
Ye Yunfei reappeared before Yang Xiaohu, took out three medicinal pills, and handed them to him.
"Alright."
Yang Xiaohu immediately swallowed the three pills and began impacting the realm barrier.
Three hours later.
Boom…
A violent surge of spiritual pressure erupted from Yang Xiaohu's body.
Early stage Sea Splitting Realm!
"Big Brother, you're truly miraculous!
You really helped me break through!
I'm a Sea Splitting Realm expert now!
Hahaha…" Yang Xiaohu was ecstatic.
"I said I would help you break through, so naturally I could do it."
Ye Yunfei stated.
"Alright, here are some more pills that can help you quickly consolidate your spiritual realm.
Get some proper rest.
We'll be taking action before long.
The objective of our operation is to destroy, to the best of our ability, all the branch strongholds of the Pang Clan and Miao Clan. It would be best if none remained." Ye Yunfei said, turning to leave.
"Destroy all of them, leaving none behind?" Yang Xiaohu showed a stunned expression.
"Yes, as much as possible.
What, are you scared?" Ye Yunfei's steps didn't pause as he left the words behind.
"How could I be scared!
Big Brother, you really are someone who pulls off big moves! This is the way to have some real fun!
I didn't choose the wrong person!" Yang Xiaohu exclaimed excitedly.
"This guy," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but laugh.
"Hu Miao, you take over controlling the spaceship.
Head towards the nearest branch stronghold of either the Pang Clan or Miao Clan."
Ye Yunfei handed the jade slip Yang Xiaohu had engraved to Hu Miao.
"Understood."
Hu Miao took the jade slip, appeared within the spaceship, and began piloting.

"What secrets does this Heavenly Dao Tower hold, I wonder."
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei settled into a secluded spot within the Phantom Tower, sitting cross-legged as he examined a small nine-story golden pagoda within his Soul Sea.
The Heavenly Dao Tower!
He had obtained this tower after emerging from the Divine Burial Ground, specifically on Tianhuang Star. To be precise, he had found it on an altar within an underground world on Tianhuang Star.
Ye Yunfei had always kept it hidden within his Soul Sea, relying on the last remaining trace of his Heavenly Emperor Soul Power to suppress the aura radiating from the small pagoda.
"To probe the secrets of this Heavenly Dao Tower, I must first break through the eighteen layers of seals within it.
Fine, I'll give it a try!"
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, directing his perception into the small tower.
Last time, he had spent several days studying this Heavenly Dao Tower, but due to the presence of eighteen layers of seals within the pagoda's structure, he couldn't spy on its interior.
These eighteen layers of seals were incredibly profound, imbued with immense power and exquisite laws.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power collided with the first layer of seals.
Rumble…
An even more powerful rebound force expelled Ye Yunfei's Soul Power from the small pagoda.
"Can't force my way through."
Ye Yunfei smiled bitterly.
Clearly, given the current intensity of his Soul Power, forcibly breaking the seal was impossible.
"First, I need to understand the principle behind this seal, then see if I can decipher it."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Following that, Ye Yunfei slowly extended his Soul Power towards that layer of seal and began his research.
A few days later.
"So that's how it is."
Ye Yunfei had generally grasped the principle behind this seal.
After all, with Ye Yunfei's vast martial experience, he could easily see through most seals in the world.
"Let's try again."
Ye Yunfei attempted to crack the seal once more.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, repeatedly impacting the key nodes of the first layer of seal.
However, despite dozens of attempts, Ye Yunfei did not succeed.
"Still a tiny bit short!"
Although he hadn't successfully broken the first seal, Ye Yunfei could see that the spot his Soul Power struck was swaying slightly, showing signs of loosening.
"Once my Soul Power rises by another level, I'll be able to break this first layer of seals."
Ye Yunfei put away the Heavenly Dao Tower.
"It's time to properly enhance the strength of those slaves."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei took out a pill furnace and began refining pills.
After annihilating one of the Star Nation's armies, Ye Yunfei had acquired over five hundred Imperial Realm slaves.
In the time ahead, he would formally go after the Pang Clan and Miao Clan. Therefore, it was necessary to boost the combat power of these Imperial Realm slaves to enhance his own overall strength.
A day later.
Ye Yunfei refined a large batch of medicinal pills and had those five hundred-plus Imperial Realm slaves consume them.
After taking the pills, all the slaves successfully made breakthroughs.
Among them, one hundred and twenty slaves at the late stage of the Imperial Realm broke through to the early stage of the Star Bridge Realm.
Thus, Ye Yunfei now possessed one hundred and twenty slaves with Star Bridge Realm strength!

"Master, we are about to arrive at a branch stronghold of the Pang Clan."
At that moment, Hu Miao suddenly sent Ye Yunfei a message.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei appeared within the spaceship.
"Up ahead is the Loumu Star Territory. The Pang Clan has a relatively large branch stronghold within this territory.
Guarding this stronghold are two Lightning Tribulation Realm experts."
Ye Yunfei took out the jade slip Yang Xiaohu had engraved, reviewed the information, and reported.
"Prepare to move out."
Ye Yunfei teleported out the two hundred-plus people he had rescued from the Pang Clan dungeons, including Hong Bai and Wu Hua, along with Yang Xiaohu and the five hundred-plus slaves.
Over seven hundred people stood within the spaceship.
The strongest among them were Hong Bai and Wu Hua, both Lightning Tribulation Realm experts.
There were dozens of Sea Splitting Realm experts.
Those at the Star Bridge Realm and Imperial Realm numbered even more.
"Big Brother, are all these your forces?!" Yang Xiaohu looked at the large number of experts standing respectfully before Ye Yunfei, both shocked and delighted.
"Yes.
Everyone will join the action later."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Incredible!
Our confidence is even greater now!
We're definitely going to pull off something earth-shattering across the Tianluo Star Sea!" Yang Xiaohu was thrilled beyond measure.
"Alright, commence the operation."
Ye Yunfei said as he steered the spaceship towards the Loumu Star Territory ahead.
"Members of the Pang Clan, Yang Xiaohu is coming for you!
Grandfather, just you wait and see! Your grandson Yang Xiaohu is about to pull off a major coup, something that will rock the entire Tianluo Star Sea!" Yang Xiaohu rubbed his hands together eagerly, itching to immediately charge into the Pang Clan's branch stronghold, plunder it freely, and make a name for himself.
"Don't worry.
What we're about to do will definitely rock the entire Tianluo Star Sea."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
