Soon, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power came into contact with the first layer of seals.
Previously, Ye Yunfei had studied this Heavenly Dao Tower for a while, so he could accurately locate the positions of these seals.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei unleashed several soul power martial techniques, including the Heaven-Soul Sword, bombarding the first layer of seals.
Rumble...
The moment it was attacked, the first seal erupted, releasing a flood of profound and mysterious runes to block Ye Yunfei's assault.
"My energy is still somewhat insufficient," Ye Yunfei muttered to himself as he paused after roughly half an hour, shaking his head with a sigh.
In truth, Ye Yunfei had already thoroughly studied this layer of seals and understood how to break it.
It was just that his current Soul Power level was insufficient; he lacked the requisite energy to shatter this seal.
"Time to boost my Soul Power again!"
Ye Yunfei retrieved a batch of herbs and began refining them.
These herbs had all been looted from the Miao Capital!
The Miao Race had operated for countless years, and the herbs they had accumulated were staggering in both quantity and quality.
Ye Yunfei took out his pill cauldron and started alchemy.
A few days later, Ye Yunfei had refined a large batch of pills specifically for enhancing Soul Power.
Next, he began consuming and refining these pills.
After finishing all the pills he had refined, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had risen significantly!
"Now, that should be about enough," Ye Yunfei murmured, staring at the Heavenly Dao Tower. He released his Soul Power and began attempting to break the first seal once more.
Boom...
Under Ye Yunfei's relentless attacks, the first layer of seals finally began to shake.
"It's working!" Elation surged in Ye Yunfei's heart, and he pressed on.
Crack...
A short while later, a fissure appeared on the first layer of seals.
"Almost there!" Ye Yunfei's spirit was invigorated.
Another moment passed.
Bang!
Under Ye Yunfei's persistent assault, the first layer of seals violently shattered, vanishing without a trace.
"I can enter the first floor of the tower!" Ye Yunfei was pleasantly surprised.
The next instant.
The Heavenly Dao Tower flew out from Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, suspending itself before him.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered as he rushed into the first floor of the tower.
"A small world?" Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned.
Before his eyes was a vast, lush and verdant mountain range!
As far as the eye could see, numerous high and low, undulating mountains stretched endlessly.
Among them, one mountain stood especially tall and majestic, domineeringly anchored in the central area of this mountainous region—it could be called the king of mountains!
Rumble...
An utterly terrifying energy pressure washed over Ye Yunfei, vast and mighty.
"How is this possible?
This... this is actually a trace of Imperial Aura!"
Compelled to retreat continuously by the pressure, Ye Yunfei's face paled as he felt an overwhelming shock.
Because the energy pressure existing within this mountain range was actually a faint trace of Heavenly Emperor's might—Imperial Aura!
Crack...
Ye Yunfei found his body's surface cracking continuously, blood seeping out, and the bones within his body emitting crisp cracking sounds as if they could no longer bear the strain and were on the verge of disintegrating.
"Could it be that this little tower is related to Tianluo, Jinwu, or You Yue?" Ye Yunfei immediately grew vigilant.
Ye Yunfei understood that, given the power of the three Heavenly Emperors, the moment he came into contact with something connected to them, they would immediately sense it and might potentially detect his presence, leading them here.
"Those three have held their positions as Heavenly Emperors for thousands of years; it wouldn't be strange for them to have occasionally left behind a magical treasure in some other world.
If this Heavenly Dao Tower is truly related to those three, then I'd better discard it quickly.
With my current strength, I'm still far from being a match for them," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
"Huh?
No!
This isn't the aura of Tianluo, Jinwu, or You Yue!
Could it be... there is another Heavenly Emperor in this world?"
Ye Yunfei soon realized that the Imperial Aura here did not belong to the three great Heavenly Emperors Tianluo, Jinwu, or You Yue.
He had extensive dealings with these three Heavenly Emperors in the past and had even engaged them in a great battle, making him intimately familiar with their energy auras.
There was another Heavenly Emperor in this world!
How was that possible?
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's heart was shaken to its core.
"This won't do. Continuing like this, my body will be crushed!" Ye Yunfei discovered his body was enduring increasing pressure.
If not for the energy of the Armor-Wood Greenwood Emperor Body constantly repairing him, he would have long been crushed to dust and bones!
"Perhaps... I can absorb this trace of Imperial Aura!"
This thought suddenly flashed through Ye Yunfei's mind.
Others might fear Imperial-level energy, but Ye Yunfei was exceptionally familiar with it.
This trace of Imperial Aura could not intimidate him.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture. Within his dantian, two golden orbs of light rose.
One, with a diameter of over three hundred meters, represented the First Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture.
The other, roughly one hundred meters in diameter, represented the Second Yang.
Boom...
The two golden orbs spun rapidly, erupting with powerful suction force as they began to absorb the Imperial-level energy from the surrounding space.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei sensed that the Imperial Aura, as if provoked, became violent and turbulent, surging to crash against him.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, an immensely terrifying Soul Force Energy erupted from his Soul Sea.
A trace of Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul!
Immediately, the Imperial Aura in the surroundings calmed down.
A trace of Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul had encountered a trace of Imperial Aura!
Both existed at the same level of energy.
"How is this possible?"
Just at that moment, a voice rang out from atop the central, king-like mountain of this range, sounding utterly astonished.
Ye Yunfei simply sat down cross-legged.
The two golden orbs hovered above his head, attempting to absorb the surrounding Imperial Aura.
An indeterminate amount of time later, Ye Yunfei, to his delight, discovered that the two golden orbs had actually succeeded in absorbing a tiny amount of Imperial-level energy!
"Success!"
Ye Yunfei was exhilarated.
Although this mountainous region contained only a faint, exceedingly thin trace of Heavenly Emperor's might, absorbing it promised immense benefits!
It was far superior in quality to the various types of energy his physical body currently possessed!
From then on, Ye Yunfei continuously circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture, persistently absorbing the Imperial-level energy from the surrounding space.
Gradually, as the amount of Imperial-level energy absorbed by the two golden orbs increased, the surrounding Imperial Aura ceased its attacks on him.
"I think I heard a voice from that mountain earlier. Could there be a living being up there?
I'll go up and investigate," Ye Yunfei muttered to himself as he stood up.
After several attempts, Ye Yunfei found that this mountainous region was governed by a law forbidding flight.
Therefore, he began walking towards that massive mountain.
"To think that besides the three great Heavenly Emperors Tianluo, Jinwu, and You Yue, there is actually another Heavenly Emperor in this world. Who could he be?"
Ye Yunfei's heart was filled with intense curiosity.
"Could the answer be hidden on this mountain?"
Ye Yunfei was filled with a sense of anticipation.
While walking, he continuously circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture, absorbing the Imperial Aura from the surrounding space.
Soon, he arrived at the foot of the mountain and began his ascent.
