“The strength of this arm of yours is, at minimum, equivalent to the middle stages of the Heavenly Thunder Realm.”
Ye Yunfei arrived upon hearing the voice, sensing the Giant Arm's aura before commenting.
“I don't fear even an ordinary late-stage Heavenly Thunder Realm opponent.
My wealth of combat experience is something few beings in this universe can match,” the phantom of the burly man appeared and declared with confidence. Having once dominated the starry skies and built a mighty reputation, such confidence was only natural.
Following this, Ye Yunfei gathered all the high-level members of Qingyun Palace in the meeting hall.
“That's correct.”
Ye Yunfei nodded. With a Heavenly Thunder Realm expert holding the fort, Qingyun Palace's foundation was now much more solid!
“Everyone, I have compiled six sets of cultivation techniques and martial arts, which will henceforth serve as our Qingyun Palace's heritage legacy.
All high-level members are permitted to cultivate these techniques and arts.
Disciples with exceptional talent, as well as those who have made significant contributions to Qingyun Palace, may also cultivate them.
Elder Chu, I entrust these six sets to your safekeeping.”
Ye Yunfei retrieved six jade slips containing the techniques and handed them to Chu Ji. These six sets were specially selected from his vast memories. Any technique or art that caught Ye Yunfei's eye and was deliberately preserved by him was naturally of exceptional quality.
Cultivation techniques and martial arts!
Hearing this, everyone present felt a surge of excitement. Within the Xuanhuang Star Domain, legends had long circulated that Ye Yunfei possessed numerous advanced techniques.
“Understood!”
Chu Ji solemnly accepted the six jade slips.
“These pills are for your cultivation.
In the future, if any of you require specific pills, simply inform me directly.
Regarding pills, we will have an ample supply.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sent forth a large batch of jade vials, distributing them to each high-level member present.
“Furthermore, the high-level members of our Qingyun Palace should not want for resources.
Take these valuables.”
Ye Yunfei waved his hand again, sending out spatial rings that landed before each person. Each ring contained vast amounts of wealth: herbs, crystals, magic treasures, and various rare natural treasures.
In the recent period, Ye Yunfei had plundered half the treasury of the Star Nation's royal capital, raided dozens of branch strongholds of the Pang and Miao Clans, and ransacked nearly half of the Miao Capital. His personal wealth was staggeringly vast! The items he casually distributed now represented unimaginable riches to any other cultivator.
“Thank you, Palace Master!”
All the high-level members in the hall expressed their gratitude excitedly. Cultivation techniques, pills, crystals, and natural treasures were the most crucial resources for any cultivator, and Ye Yunfei had just bestowed them generously. His statement—*our Qingyun Palace's high-level members should not want for resources*—left many on the verge of tears.
“Now, we can formally announce to the outside world the news of Qingyun Palace's establishment.
In five days, which is an auspicious date, we will hold an inauguration ceremony.”
Ye Yunfei announced clearly.
“Excellent!”
All the high-level members responded in unison.
A day later, news spread rapidly throughout the Xuanhuang Star Domain: a new power, Qingyun Palace, was officially established! In five days, Qingyun Palace would host its inauguration ceremony!
Within the Xuanhuang Star Domain, large and small factions were numerous. New ones frequently emerged, while old ones perished. The cycle of rise and fall was common and hardly noteworthy. What truly caused a shockwave was that the Palace Master of this Qingyun Palace was Ye Yunfei! Chu Ji was an elder of Qingyun Palace! Chu Ji was a seasoned veteran powerhouse of the Xuanhuang Star Domain, while Ye Yunfei was the most prominent rising star not only in the domain but across the entire Tianluo Star Sea in recent times. Both were highly scrutinized figures! Furthermore, forces like the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Tang Clan, and the Houtu Sect had all joined Qingyun Palace.
Instantly, news of Qingyun Palace's establishment caused a widespread sensation in the Xuanhuang Star Domain, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Tianluo Star Sea!
“Qingyun Palace!
That little bastard has actually established a faction!”
Within the Miao Capital, the two Ancestors of the Miao Clan gnashed their teeth in fury.
“Contact the Netherworld Tomb! Have them carry out assassinations on the day of Qingyun Palace's inauguration ceremony!” one of the Ancestors ordered.
“That brat wants to establish a new power under our Pang Clan's very noses? A pipe dream.”
Within Pang Clan headquarters, Pang Xishan sneered coldly.
In the capital of the Star Nation, within a resplendent, opulent hall…
“Damn it!
That Ye Yunfei brat has destroyed yet another of our Star Nation's armies!
We must have revenge, we must take revenge!”
The Star Nation's Emperor, seated on his high throne, roared in rage. A large group of ministers stood before him, their faces also contorted with fury. All three armies the Star Nation had sent to the Xuanhuang Star Domain had been annihilated by Ye Yunfei! These three armies constituted nearly half of the Star Nation's military strength! The losses were devastating!
“However, given our Star Nation's current power, it is difficult for us to seek revenge against Ye Yunfei.
Even those two envoys from the Jietian Sect were no match for Ye Yunfei. There is no one within our Star Nation who could possibly stand against him,” one high-ranking official suddenly whispered.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. The Emperor too stopped speaking. Everyone understood—the Star Nation truly lacked the capability to seek revenge against Ye Yunfei!
“Your Majesty, our only hope for revenge lies with the Jietian Sect.”
An elderly man with a thin, gaunt frame slowly spoke up. This old man was Grand Tutor Liu! He was the one who had led the two grey-robed elders of the Jietian Sect to the Heavenly Dao Academy to find Ye Yunfei. When those two elders engaged Ye Yunfei in combat, Grand Tutor Liu, sensing the dire situation, had quietly slipped away.
“Grand Tutor Liu, you are right!”
The Emperor's spirits lifted upon hearing this.
“Your Majesty! Elder Ou of the Jietian Sect has sent a message ordering us to mobilize our army to besiege Qingyun Palace on the day of its inauguration ceremony.
The Jietian Sect will dispatch experts to personally deal with Ye Yunfei.”
At that moment, a general rushed in to report.
“Excellent!”
The Emperor and all the ministers in the hall felt their spirits soar.
“Your Majesty, for our Star Nation to climb onto the Jietian Sect's branch of this great tree… our future prospects are limitless!” Grand Tutor Liu said excitedly.
“Everyone, it can now be confirmed that the 'big brother' Little Tiger mentioned is likely Ye Yunfei.
That Little Tiger has truly dared the heavens! He actually followed Ye Yunfei, destroying so many branch strongholds of the Pang and Miao Clans, and even looted the Miao Capital!
If the Pang and Miao Clans find out, the repercussions would be endless!”
On a certain planet within the Tianluo Star Sea, an elderly man holding a crystal said with deep concern. This elder was Yang Xiaohu's grandfather. Several other elders stood nearby.
“Afraid of what?
Our lot here, what we usually do is plunder and raid.
Looting the Pang and Miao Clans has always been our dream!
Now Little Tiger has essentially fulfilled our aspirations!
As for fearing the Pang and Miao Clans… when have we ever feared them?
In our line of work, we've never learned how to write the word 'fear'!” a tall, thin elder beside him declared.
“That's right!
Nothing to be afraid of.
I'd say Little Tiger has accomplished something splendid!
Since Ye Yunfei is Little Tiger's big brother, we should attend Qingyun Palace's inauguration!” another elder added.
Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters buzzed with activity.
Ye Yunfei personally took action, sparing no expense, and set up several hundred formations inside and outside the Academy! These formations served various purposes: defense, attack, spirit gathering, isolation, concealment…
Formation after formation unfolded around the Academy's headquarters, blooming like countless lotuses, manifesting myriad wondrous phenomena. Phantoms of divine beasts roared, suns and moons floated amidst shifting mountains and rivers, hordes of demonic monsters danced wildly—each phenomenon represented a separate formation.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy and natural laws of the surrounding heavens and earth were drawn toward the Academy, causing the energy inside to condense into thick mist, swirling like multicolored ribbons.
“There will certainly be people coming to cause trouble on the day of the inauguration.
In the few days remaining, I'd better try to raise my strength a notch.”
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
“Little Tiger, where is the teleportation formation closest to our Xuanhuang Star Domain? Take me there.”
Ye Yunfei found Yang Xiaohu and asked.
Yang Xiaohu had also chosen to join Qingyun Palace, and Ye Yunfei had appointed him as the head of a hall. During these past few days, Yang Xiaohu worked with great zeal, assisting with all matters related to Qingyun Palace's establishment.
“The teleportation formation closest to the Xuanhuang Star Domain?”
Yang Xiaohu was momentarily puzzled.
“Correct.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Within the Tianluo Star Sea, there were ten long-distance teleportation formations. Each was constructed within a broken, fragmented star domain. These broken star domains were perfect places for Ye Yunfei to cultivate his spatial energy!
“Alright, I'll take you.”
Yang Xiaohu nodded.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and Yang Xiaohu secretly left the Heavenly Dao Academy, heading toward the location of the nearest teleportation formation.
