Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power perception into the first spatial ring.
Range upon range of crystal mountains, piled high with various types of advanced crystal stones, stretched out before him.
Medicinal herbs and pills practically filled every corner within the ring.
All sorts of primordial artifacts, original treasures, and more lined specialized racks meant for storing such artifacts.
Furthermore, a dazzling array of various heavenly and earthly treasures was spread out in abundance.
The grade of this spatial ring was extremely high, its internal volume vast, capable of holding an immense amount!
"This senior is far too generous!"
Even Ye Yunfei was somewhat astonished.
However, with another thought, Ye Yunfei realized that the six elders from deep within the spatial rift were each, in their time, the most top-tier experts within this starry cosmos, and they were also founding ancestor-level figures of various universe-spanning super sects. Given their status and positions, possessing such wealth didn't seem particularly novel.
"Huh?
Soul Stones, and their purity is exceptionally refined!"
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power suddenly fell upon several corners within the spatial ring, each piled high with black crystal stones.
These black crystal stones were all Soul Stones of extremely high purity!
This pile of Soul Stones formed a small peak over ten meters tall; the quantity was substantial!
Next, Ye Yunfei inspected the other five spatial rings. Each of the six elders had gifted him one.
The treasures contained within each ring gifted by each elder were astounding in both value and quantity.
What pleased Ye Yunfei most was that every one of these six spatial rings contained a batch of Soul Stones!
The combined quantity of Soul Stones from all six rings was enormous.
"These six seniors truly live up to being among the top-tier experts of this starry cosmos. Their collections are too rich!"
Ye Yunfei was rather excited.
"This batch of Soul Stones is enough for my Soul Power level to undergo a qualitative leap!"
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
"Good, immediately refine and absorb these Soul Stones!"
Ye Yunfei retrieved all the Soul Stones contained within the six spatial rings and piled them around his body.
Range upon range of black Soul Stone mountains, stretching endlessly, surrounded Ye Yunfei in the center.
Huu…
Ye Yunfei executed a secret art specifically designed for refining and absorbing Soul Power. A powerful suction force was generated within his soul sea, drawing out the Soul Force Energy contained within the Soul Stones surrounding his body, ultimately converging into his soul sea.
Rumble…
Rolling waves of Soul Force Energy, vast as the misty sea, a vast expanse of white, completely submerged Ye Yunfei.
As he refined and absorbed more and more Soul Force Energy, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level soared straight upward!
The quantity of Soul Stones in this batch was truly enormous.
Within the Phantom Tower, only after half a year did Ye Yunfei finally finish refining and absorbing all the Soul Stones!
His Soul Power level had undergone an astonishing leap!
"My current Soul Power level is already stronger than the majority of Heavenly Thunder Realm experts!"
Ye Yunfei assessed his own Soul Power level, feeling quite satisfied.
Originally, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had always far surpassed that of martial artists of the same realm. With his recent realm advancements and absorbing such a vast amount of Soul Force Energy, his Soul Power level had achieved this tremendous increase.
"Next, properly improve the power of the Heavenly Soul Sword."
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
The Heavenly Soul Sword was an extremely high-level soul force martial skill. Ye Yunfei's current mastery over it was still far lacking!
With his Soul Power level continuously rising, Ye Yunfei had to constantly cultivate to gradually unleash the Heavenly Soul Sword's true power.
Inside the Phantom Tower, for the next three months, Ye Yunfei repeatedly honed the Heavenly Soul Sword.
Three months later.
Shoo!
A faintly discernible dagger orbited around Ye Yunfei's head, emitting a terrifying Soul Power pressure.
Fzzzt!
With a single thought, the dagger shot out. Wherever it passed, it left behind a faint black line—a sign of space being sliced apart!
"The Heavenly Soul Sword I can now unleash can injure Heavenly Thunder Realm late-stage practitioners!
Even early-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts can be effectively contained!"
Ye Yunfei smiled confidently.
From now on, Ye Yunfei no longer feared any expert within the Tianluo Star Sea!
"From this moment on, anyone within the Tianluo Star Sea who dares provoke me will be killed outright!"
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
Then, Ye Yunfei took out a pill cauldron and began alchemy.
A few days later.
Ye Yunfei had refined a batch of pills.
"Two seniors, now I am prepared to help both of you break through to the early stage of the Sea Transformation Realm."
Ye Yunfei arrived before Yang Tianhu and the second elder of the Seven Great Bandits.
The two of them had been solidifying their spiritual power foundation within the Phantom Tower during this period.
Among the Seven Great Bandits, Yang Tianhu was the leader. The second elder was named Jiang Wu.
"Good!"
Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu nodded simultaneously, their hearts agitated to the extreme.
They had both been stuck at the late stage of the Heavenly Thunder Realm for decades, with not the slightest hint of a breakthrough in sight.
Now, they finally saw hope!
"Two seniors, I'll give each of you three saint pills. Take one every other day.
I will remain by your side throughout the entire process, personally guiding you on how to circulate your energy and assault the realm barrier.
As long as you follow my instructions, you will definitely succeed."
Ye Yunfei took out six saint pills, handing them respectively to Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu.
"Eighth-grade saint pills!"
Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu stared at the saint pills handed to them by Ye Yunfei, their bodies trembling violently, their gazes filled with utmost shock.
"Palace Master Ye might not be a seventh-grade Saint-Grade Pill Master, but an eighth-grade one!"
Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu exchanged a look, almost simultaneously sending a voice transmission to each other.
"Alright, begin taking the first saint pill now!"
Ye Yunfei commanded sternly.
Over the following time, Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu completely followed Ye Yunfei's instructions.
During this process, Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu were shocked into a state of numbness.
They discovered that Ye Yunfei's understanding of the Heavenly Thunder Realm and Sea Transformation Realm was far deeper than anything they could compare to.
"Old Second, I increasingly feel that Palace Master Ye might be an old monster who has reincarnated."
Yang Tianhu couldn't help but say to Jiang Wu.
"I have the same feeling."
Jiang Wu nodded.
Three days later.
Boom… Boom…
High in the sky over a certain location of the Qingyun Palace, dense, dark clouds suddenly gathered, with thick arcs of lightning serpents flashing within the layers.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
"Two seniors, your heavenly tribulation has arrived; you are about to break through.
I will now take you out to endure the heavenly tribulation!"
Ye Yunfei said to Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu.
Then, with a thought, Ye Yunfei transported Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu out of the Phantom Tower.
When a martial artist cultivated to the Heavenly Thunder Realm, each major realm breakthrough was accompanied by a heavenly tribulation. Only by passing the tribulation could the breakthrough be considered successful.
Rumble…
A moment later, thunder and lightning rolled down from the high sky. The heavenly tribulations of Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu began simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei immediately ordered the surrounding area to be sealed off.
An hour later.
"Sea Transformation Realm!
Finally, the Sea Transformation Realm!
Hahaha…"
Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu stood in mid-air, laughing heartily, feeling as if they had reached the pinnacle of their lives.
"Palace Master Ye personally assisted us in our breakthrough. This great kindness and virtue, we will never dare forget!"
A moment later, Yang Tianhu and Jiang Wu simultaneously landed before Ye Yunfei, bowing deeply as they spoke in unison.
Even though their strength had increased greatly, they were even more respectful towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei said he would help them break through, and he did!
The methods he displayed were simply monstrous!
Following this, Ye Yunfei helped the other four members of the Seven Great Bandits achieve their breakthroughs.
The fourth elder had broken through not long ago and could not advance again for the time being.
Thus, among the Seven Great Bandits, two were at the early stage of Sea Transformation Realm, three at the late stage of Heavenly Thunder Realm, and two at the mid-stage of Heavenly Thunder Realm.
"It seems our Seven Gallant Bandits are finally about to turn things around!"
Each member of the Seven Great Bandits was extremely excited.
Right at this moment.
"Palace Master, Dugu Huan is in trouble!"
Just then, President Sima hurried over and said to Ye Yunfei.
"What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei's heart sank.
