"Father, these pills are for regulating your body's condition. In three days, I will officially begin the process of reconstructing your Dantian and meridians."
Ye Yunfei took out a jade vial and handed it over.
"Very well."
Ye Tianpeng accepted the vial, found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and began consuming the pills.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
Three days later.
"Father, we are starting."
Ye Yunfei approached Ye Tianpeng.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei summoned five precious treasures, which hovered around Ye Tianpeng's body.
These five treasures were: the Essence of Yellow Path True Gold, Earth Root Sacred Water, Solar Sacred Water, Heaven-Mending Vine, and Hun Lao's Tree Sap Essence!
The Essence of Yellow Path True Gold had been obtained in the Divine Fall Lands; the Earth Root Sacred Water from the Miao Clan's branch outpost on Yinxia Star; the Solar Sacred Water from the ruins of the Fire Worship Sect; and the Heaven-Mending Vine from a treasure vault in the Miao Capital.
"Father, I will now individually infuse these five treasures into your body! This process will be quite painful; you must endure it!" Ye Yunfei said.
"I understand." Ye Tianpeng nodded.
Pointing a finger, Ye Yunfei directed several dozen drops of Earth Root Sacred Water to shoot towards Ye Tianpeng's body, merging vigorously within.
Immediately, an unimaginably vast amount of energy erupted inside Ye Tianpeng.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, sending several pills into Ye Tianpeng's mouth. These pills served primarily as guides!
His figure flashed, and Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged behind Ye Tianpeng, placing one hand on his father's back. Surging spiritual power transmitted in, beginning to guide the Earth Root Sacred Water in reconstructing Ye Yunfei's Dantian and meridians.
Over the following time, Ye Yunfei successively infused the Essence of Yellow Path True Gold, Solar Sacred Water, Heaven-Mending Vine, and Hun Lao's Tree Sap Essence into Ye Tianpeng's body.
Inside the Phantom Tower, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Half a month later.
All five treasures had successfully fused within Ye Tianpeng's body. Ye Tianpeng's Dantian and meridians had been successfully reconstructed!
Boom… Boom…
Sturdy streams of spiritual energy erupted from within Ye Tianpeng. His spiritual cultivation level began to break through at an astonishing rate.
Late-stage Soul Transformation Realm!
In the end, Ye Tianpeng's spiritual cultivation had directly broken through to the late stage of the Soul Transformation Realm!
Although this realm wasn't particularly strong, for Ye Tianpeng, it surpassed his past self!
"Father, you will soon discover that your martial cultivation talent now far exceeds what it was before!" Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"It truly succeeded!" Miao Ziqiong was overjoyed.
"Kid, your methods are simply astounding. What exactly is your background? I feel I understand you less and less," the Giant Arm arrived and, sensing the energy radiating from Ye Tianpeng's body, couldn't help but praise.
"Master, we have returned to the Xuanhuang Star Domain." Hu Miao's telepathic voice suddenly sounded in Ye Yunfei's soul sea.
"Proceed directly back to the Heavenly Dao Academy," Ye Yunfei instructed.
At the same time.
In the Beihuang Domain, at the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The army of the Star Nation still completely encircled the academy's headquarters. Dense clusters of spacecraft hovered in the high air all around.
Inside one of these spacecraft.
"Everyone, good news! His Majesty has dispatched Grand Master Liu! Let us go welcome him!" The Prime Minister of the Star Nation and five other ministers were discussing the current situation when the Prime Minister suddenly revealed a delighted expression and announced.
The other five ministers also perked up. For some time now, the Star Nation's army had besieged the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters, yet the Prime Minister and these five ministers had been unable to decide whether or not to attack. The pressure from the news of Ye Yunfei's rampage in the Miao Capital had been too great. Thus, the Prime Minister had simply sent someone back to report to the Star Nation's emperor, leaving the decision to him.
The Prime Minister and several ministers immediately rushed out of the spacecraft.
In the distance, a spacecraft rapidly approached, arriving before the Prime Minister in the blink of an eye. A lean old man emerged from the vessel.
"Grand Master Liu, you've finally arrived!" The Prime Minister, leading the five ministers, went forward to meet him.
"These two are High Envoys from the Jietian Sect. From now on, our Star Nation shall be a subordinate force of the Jietian Sect," the Grand Master stated.
Two gray-robed old men walked out from the spacecraft. They said nothing, simply standing with their hands clasped behind their backs.
Hiss!
Envoys of the Jietian Sect!
The Prime Minister and the five ministers collectively drew a sharp, cold breath. The reputation of the Jietian Sect was immense! It was said that within the entire cosmic starry sea, the Jietian Sect's strength could rank among the top ten! Their headquarters was located within a central star sea. Here in the Tianluo Star Sea, there existed a branch of the Jietian Sect. Generally, this branch operated with low profile, rarely intervening in conflicts between the various powers of this star sea, maintaining an air of detachment from worldly strife. However, every power in the Tianluo Star Sea understood clearly: one must absolutely not provoke the Jietian Sect! Otherwise, utter calamity would follow. The three strongest powers in the Tianluo Star Sea were the Pang Clan, the Brightness Ancient Sect, and the Yihua Palace. Yet, not one of these three dared provoke the Jietian Sect.
"We pay our respects to the two High Envoys!" The Prime Minister and the other five ministers, immensely excited, hurried forward and bowed respectfully. By latching onto the Jietian Sect's powerful leg, the Star Nation could now walk sideways—virtually unchallenged—through the Tianluo Star Sea in the future!
"We are looking for Ye Yunfei. Is he here?" one of the gray-robed old men spoke blandly.
"Reporting to the High Envoys, Ye Yunfei is not here. It seems he hasn't returned yet," the Prime Minister promptly replied.
"Then arrest every single person related to Ye Yunfei. Notify him later to come retrieve them," the other gray-robed old man said.
"Prime Minister, act according to the High Envoys' words. Immediately order the army to attack," the Grand Master instructed.
"Excellent!" The Prime Minister's spirits soared. With the Jietian Sect backing them, there was no need to fear Ye Yunfei any longer!
"Transmit my order: attack immediately!" The Prime Minister turned and declared in a clear, loud voice.
And then...
At this moment.
Rumble…
From the starry sky in the distance, a large contingent of people shrouded in billowing, baleful death energy approached grandly.
"People from the Yin Corpse Valley. What are they doing here?" One of the gray-robed old men couldn't help but frown.
"Probably here to collect corpses. These weird and eerie fellows make one want to vomit just looking at them. However, there's no need for us to clash with them," the other gray-robed old man said. Evidently, neither wished to offend the Yin Corpse Valley because their strength was not weaker than the Jietian Sect! Moreover, the Yin Corpse Valley was extremely mysterious, roaming the cosmic starry sea collecting Corpse Sources, an activity that made one's blood run cold upon mention. Thus, generally, no power was willing to get involved with them!
In the blink of an eye, the Yin Corpse Valley contingent arrived before the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters.
"People from the Jietian Sect?"
A black-robed man leading them cast a gaze towards the two gray-robed old men and asked, as the old men's robes bore the Jietian Sect's emblem.
"Indeed, we are from the Jietian Sect. What business brings the friends of Yin Corpse Valley here?" one of the gray-robed old men inquired.
"Collecting some Corpse Sources. And your purpose in coming here?" The black-robed man responded.
"We are looking for Ye Yunfei," a gray-robed old man said.
"Oh? You're also after Ye Yunfei? Heheh… So, you intend to compete with me for Ye Yunfei? I have my sights on him; I want to refine him into a walking corpse. Furthermore, I want the Demigod medicine on his person. I advise you not to try snatching him from me. Otherwise, bear the consequences," the black-robed man sneered strangely.
"I heard Ye Yunfei possesses more than one stalk of Demigod medicine. How about this: we split the Demigod medicine on him equally. Of course, we would not want Ye Yunfei's corpse," The two gray-robed old men exchanged glances, communicated briefly via telepathy, and then one spoke up.
"Very well." The black-robed man thought for a moment and nodded. The Jietian Sect's strength was considerable; he too preferred not to incur their enmity.
"Then let's proceed inside together," one gray-robed old man suggested.
"Agreed," the black-robed man nodded.
At the same time.
Within the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters.
"Senior Chu Ji, Dean Sima! Something terrible! The Star Nation army is preparing to attack!" A steward rushed before Dean Sima to report.
"Everyone, given the present circumstances, our only option is to fight! Remember, do not linger in combat; if an opportunity arises, you must flee!" Within the council hall, Chu Ji, seated centrally, stood up and said calmly.
Over a dozen Star Bridge Realm experts, along with all the upper echelons of the Heavenly Dao Academy, were in the hall.
"Once the battle begins, focus on protecting those who came from the Tianxuan Continent. If possible, help them break through the encirclement," Dean Sima said slowly.
"We understand," the Heavenly Dao Academy's upper echelons all nodded.
Kill!
Right at this moment, the Star Nation army outside the headquarters swarmed in like a tidal wave.
"Heheh, let them fight first. We'll follow behind and collect Corpse Sources," the black-robed man from Yin Corpse Valley sneered coldly.
At this moment.
A spacecraft arrived from afar, stopping near the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters.
"What is happening here?"
Ye Yunfei stepped out of the spacecraft. Seeing the Star Nation army flooding into the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters like a tide, his face instantly darkened.
