‘Spirit Milk, the Earth Vein…’
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon the altar that had been partially destroyed.
‘I might as well help Little Sister awaken the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian here and set her on the cultivation path!’
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Both the Earth Vein and the pool of Spirit Milk on the altar were incredibly rare treasures, hard to come by.
"Did anyone manage to send out a Sound Transmission earlier?"
Ye Yunfei asked the Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"No.
A few tried, but you killed them in time."
The Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared in front of Ye Yunfei and replied.
Not only was the Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm proficient in spatial energy, it was also highly sensitive to any form of spatial fluctuation. If anyone within the underground palace had sent a Sound Transmission outward, it could detect the slightest ripple in space.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
If the Miao Clan members outside were temporarily unaware of what had transpired within this palace, then Ye Yunfei would have time. He could use the Earth Vein and the Spirit Milk here to help Xiao Fei completely activate the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within her body and embark on the path of cultivation.
In fact, during the previous battle, Ye Yunfei had already considered this issue and even instructed the Giant Arm via Sound Transmission to swiftly kill anyone attempting to send messages outside.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei transported himself and the Giant Arm into the Phantom Tower.
He went directly before his parents.
Xiao Fei was still unconscious, lying peacefully on the ground.
Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong were anxiously watching over her.
Hu Miao, Hong Bai, Wu Hua, and Huang Shang were also present.
"Fei'er, how is Xiaofei?"
Ye Tianpeng asked as soon as he saw Ye Yunfei.
"Little Sister is fine, she's just unconscious.
I'll wake her now."
After sensing Xiao Fei's condition, Ye Yunfei said.
He knew the reason Xiao Fei remained asleep was due to the recent forcible extraction of the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian from her body. Although the divine vein had returned, her body hadn't fully adjusted yet.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei released a gentle stream of Soul Power, enveloping Xiao Fei's head. He activated a secret art, nourishing her Soul Body.
Immediately.
Xiao Fei let out a soft moan and slowly awakened.
"Xiao Fei, you're awake!"
Overjoyed, Miao Ziqiong rushed forward and embraced her.
"Mother."
Xiao Fei opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was Miao Ziqiong. She called out softly.
She still remembered the scene before she fell unconscious, of Miao Ziqiong vomiting blood after being struck by the Great Elder.
"Mother's fine, mother has long since recovered.
Xiao Fei, you're safe now too, that's wonderful!"
Miao Ziqiong's tears streamed down her face. She had always felt immense guilt towards this daughter.
"Don't cry, Mother. Xiao Fei is fine now."
Xiao Fei quickly said, reaching out to wipe Miao Ziqiong's tears.
Ye Tianpeng and Ye Yunfei, father and son, stood nearby. Seeing this sensible little girl, their hearts ached with both sorrow and pity.
Hu Miao had already started fiercely wiping her own tears.
"Mother, who are these people?"
Suddenly, Xiao Fei noticed the people standing around her. She gave a start, shrinking into Miao Ziqiong's embrace, her little face full of wariness and tension.
Because, up until now, her entire life had been spent in that dim prison cell, relying on her mother. In her experience, everyone who entered that cell was a bad person, someone who came to bully her and her mother.
"Xiao Fei, don't be afraid.
Your father and your brother have come for us."
Miao Ziqiong hurriedly explained.
"Father and brother?"
Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment. Then her gaze involuntarily fixed on Ye Tianpeng and Ye Yunfei. A sense of connection stemming from the depths of their bloodline gave her an innate feeling of closeness to these two.
"Xiao Fei…"
Facing his daughter, Ye Tianpeng appeared both agitated and nervous, wringing his hands.
"Are you really my father?"
Xiao Fei's clear, large eyes stared at Ye Tianpeng with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, yes, I am your father."
Ye Tianpeng nodded repeatedly.
"Are you my brother?"
Xiao Fei's gaze turned to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, yes, I am your brother!"
Ye Yunfei hastily nodded.
Looking at this adorable younger sister before him, Ye Yunfei felt overwhelming affection.
"Father, Mother, I intend to help Xiao Fei activate the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within her now."
Ye Yunfei suddenly stated.
"Activate the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian?"
Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong were taken aback.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei briefly explained the situation.
"Fei'er, are you sure about this?"
Miao Ziqiong was somewhat worried and asked.
"Mother, don't worry. I am confident."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Zi Qiong, don't worry.
Fei'er's capabilities are vast indeed."
Ye Tianpeng said with a laugh.
"If you are uneasy, come along."
Ye Yunfei said.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei transported his parents, Xiao Fei, Hong Bai, Wu Hua, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the others out of the Phantom Tower, standing next to the altar within the underground palace.
"Senior, stand guard for me."
Ye Yunfei also transported the Giant Arm out.
"Alright."
The Giant Arm replied.
Miao Ziqiong and Ye Tianpeng were seeing the Giant Arm for the first time and couldn't help being astonished.
"What a huge arm!"
Xiao Fei couldn't help but exclaim.
"Xiao Fei, greet Senior."
Ye Yunfei instructed.
"Hello, Senior."
Xiao Fei stuck out her tongue and called out.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, bringing Xiao Fei to the top of the altar.
Although the altar was partially damaged, it was still barely usable.
"Xiao Fei, enter this pool and sit down, then don't move.
Stay there until your brother tells you to come out.
Understand?"
Ye Yunfei said to Xiao Fei.
"Xiao Fei, listen to your brother."
Miao Ziqiong said.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll listen to Brother.
You told me before, didn't you? That if I ever met my brother, he would protect me."
Xiao Fei smiled and then walked into the pool and sat down.
The pool of crimson liquid reached just up to her neck.
Next, Ye Yunfei took action, setting up over ten Formations on the altar.
"How did Fei'er become so powerful?"
Miao Ziqiong watched as Ye Yunfei deftly and smoothly laid down one Formation after another and couldn't help but quietly ask Ye Tianpeng.
After all, she was once a young lady of the Miao Clan, with a very high status, focused on cultivation since childhood. Her own cultivation wasn't weak.
She could tell that every one of the Formations Ye Yunfei was setting up was extremely profound!
"I don't know how Fei'er became so powerful either.
Back in Round Moon City, Fei'er originally had his martial veins disappear and couldn't practice martial arts. Later, the eight veins within him suddenly reappeared, and he just kept getting stronger.
I can no longer comprehend this son of mine.
Compared to him, I, as his father, am nothing."
Ye Tianpeng said with a bitter smile.
Boom…
At this moment, on the altar, after finishing the Formations, Ye Yunfei stomped his foot.
The Earth Vein beneath the altar was reactivated. Torrents of yellowish energy erupted skyward before pouring back down into the pool.
The blood-red liquid in the pool also bubbled and boiled, releasing roars of rage.
At this moment, all the energy within the space around the altar rushed toward the pool.
Then, the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within Xiao Fei's body manifested, erupting with dazzling, resplendent divine radiance.
This Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian let out a high-pitched cry, seeming immensely joyful, then began to voraciously devour all the energy converging into the pool.
At the same time.
Miao Capital.
The entire Miao Capital was now adorned with lanterns and decorations, large red lanterns hanging high, creating a festive, joyous atmosphere akin to celebrating the new year.
Inside a vast, wide-open square.
A sea of people filled the area, the noise deafening.
A constant stream of martial artists flooded into this square.
To the east of the square stood a tall white jade platform.
Upon that platform, a row of exquisite tables and chairs were neatly arranged, laid with large red carpets.
Miao Hanlin, the Patriarch of the Miao Clan, along with a dozen Miao Clan elders, were there to welcome guests arriving from all directions.
"Haha…
Brother Hanlin, congratulations!
The Miao Clan has produced a young prodigy with the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian! Surely, your clan will soar to the heavens in the future!"
"Brother Hanlin, with such an outstanding talent emerging from your Miao Clan, your future prospects are limitless!"
"..."
High-level members from various major powers arrived one after another, landing on the white jade platform and offering their congratulations.
All the guests who had received an invitation to this white jade platform were of noble status and extraordinary backgrounds.
In addition, a large number of Miao Clan members were in the square receiving guests.
All Miao clansmen were filled with excitement!
Because today, the Miao Clan would shine with infinite glory!
"Report!
Patriarch, the Pang Clan delegation has arrived!"
A Miao Clan steward hurried to Miao Hanlin's side, panting as he spoke.
"All Elders, follow me to receive them!"
Hearing this, Miao Hanlin's spirits lifted.
"That's right, how is the Great Elder's situation? Has there been any reply?"
Miao Hanlin turned to an elder beside him and asked.
"None so far.
I've sent several messages to the Great Elder, but have yet to receive a reply."
The elder said.
"Hmm.
The Great Elder mentioned before that transplanting the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian is a delicate matter that cannot tolerate any disturbance.
He's probably in the middle of the transplant right now.
We shouldn't disturb him for now."
After a moment's thought, Miao Hanlin said.
"Patriarch, rest assured.
The Great Elder has been preparing for this day for ten years; there will be no mistake."
An elder beside him laughed.
"Indeed.
Of course I have faith in the Great Elder's capabilities.
Let's go, follow me to greet the guests from the Pang Clan!"
Miao Hanlin waved his hand and led these elders, striding briskly toward a group of guests approaching from the distance.
