"Young man, you're not trying to tell me you also know about the World-Destroying War, are you?"
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Yunfei with shocked eyes.
"Yes, I do know about the World-Destroying War," Ye Yunfei nodded. "That was a bloody war during the Ancient Era. It's said most of the planes within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were drawn into that conflict. Countless powerful factions and experts perished in that war.
Top-tier experts at the level of Heavenly Emperor fell in that battle.
There are even legends saying that this World-Destroying War was instigated by deities with the goal of destroying the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
"Young man, so you really do know about the World-Destroying War," the middle-aged man said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Can you tell me exactly what happened during the World-Destroying War?" Ye Yunfei asked.
He had once spent a great deal of time, his footsteps nearly covering the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, investigating and researching that World-Destroying War from the Ancient Era.
But his gains had been minimal.
That this Mythical Lion before him had actually participated in that war filled Ye Yunfei with extreme surprise and delight.
"My injuries were too severe back then, and my memories are fragmented," the man said after struggling to recall. "I only remember that I did participate in that war. But the specific details of that conflict... I can no longer remember."
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei was deeply disappointed.
But Ye Yunfei could also see that this Mythical Lion was indeed grievously wounded, both in body and Soul Body.
Its physical body was hanging on by its last breath, having sealed off all senses and blood energy, tightened its flesh, and prevented even a wisp of vital essence from leaking out. It existed in a state of neither living nor dying.
It was roughly equivalent to a deep slumber.
"Young man, both my physical body and Soul Body are severely injured. Staying in this Small World, I've been almost incapable of recovery.
So, I must leave this place to find a location suitable for my recuperation.
Can you help me?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Yunfei and asked.
"I can," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's thought. "However, I'll only have the ability to help you repair that long-distance Teleportation Formation after my spatial energy level rises to sufficient strength and I've collected enough Space Crystals."
This Mythical Lion had participated in the World-Destroying War. It was an expert left over from the Ancient Era and had no conflicts of interest with him. Ye Yunfei didn't mind lending a hand.
"Excellent! Young man, thank you!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but be overjoyed upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Young man, I'll immediately order my subordinates to gather all the medicinal herbs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and various energy crystals in this Small World as payment for you.
This Small World is actually a spatial fragment that broke off from a higher world.
The energy and laws it contains are relatively advanced. There should be quite a few treasures useful to you."
After speaking, he immediately sent out a sound transmission.
Immediately, fierce roars of birds and beasts rang out in the distance as countless creatures began scurrying about within the Small World.
"This Small World is also a spatial fragment?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
"Yes," the middle-aged man nodded. "During that battle all those years ago, many higher worlds were shattered, transforming into pieces of spatial fragments that fell into the empty, bewildering void to drift everywhere."
"Could it be that the Godfall Land is also a spatial fragment that fell into the endless void during the World-Destroying War? And the living beings within the Godfall Land are also related to that war?" Ye Yunfei thought of the Godfall Land.
Within the Godfall Land, the progenitor of the Sky Medicine Tribe had once told Ye Yunfei that the so-called Godfall Land was a spatial fragment that had broken off from a certain higher world.
Just like this Small World here.
After the better part of a day, a large group of demonic beasts arrived, bringing all sorts of medicinal herbs, crystals, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which they presented to the middle-aged man.
In the end, the various treasures were piled into small mountain peaks, their spiritual energy soaring skyward.
"Young man, these treasures are useless to me. But for you, they should be quite valuable cultivation resources," the middle-aged man said.
"Indeed. These things are very useful to me," Ye Yunfei nodded. Without standing on ceremony, he directly transported all the treasures before him into the Phantom Tower.
"My friend climbed that Blade Mountain. Dare you go up there?" Ye Yunfei asked.
After all, Ye Yunfei had entered this Small World primarily to find Dugu Huan.
"I dare not. That Blade Mountain exudes an extremely dangerous aura. I simply don't dare approach it," the middle-aged man shook his head.
Next, Ye Yunfei went before that Blade Mountain again and waited for several days. However, there was never any movement.
Finally, Ye Yunfei decided to leave this Small World.
"Young man, rest assured. Once your friend descends from the Blade Mountain, I will take care of him. As long as he survives coming down from the mountain, I will guarantee his safety," the middle-aged man said.
"Thank you," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Dugu Huan, everything depends on your destiny now. I hope you're alright."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fixed on that distant mountain peak where blade energy soared skyward as he thought to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei turned and prepared to leave.
"Young man, all the beasts in this Small World obey my commands. How about this—if you need, you can take a group of demonic beasts back to the Canghuang Realm. From then on, they will obey your orders."
"Take a group of demonic beasts back to the Canghuang Realm?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes. Your current strength is still very weak. Taking a group of demonic beasts back as subordinates can bolster your power.
Consider it a gift from me."
"Fine," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Ye Yunfei had established Qingyun Palace, but its overall strength was still quite weak. If he brought a group of demonic beasts back from this Small World, it would indeed bolster Qingyun Palace's power.
"How about this: you gather a group of demonic beasts of varying strengths. I'll test to see what level of being I can actually take back to the Canghuang Realm," Ye Yunfei suggested.
"Alright," the middle-aged man nodded.
Thus, the middle-aged man immediately summoned a large group of demonic beasts of different strengths to stand before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei led these demonic beasts back to the exit point of this Small World.
"Young man, your spatial energy level is truly impressive. I normally have no ability to detect this exit, but you found it in an instant," the middle-aged man sighed.
"That's because your memories are fragmented. If your memories were intact, you could completely tear through the spatial barrier here and forcibly enter the Canghuang Realm.
However, with your strength, even if you entered the Canghuang Realm, you would quickly be expelled," Ye Yunfei said.
"True," the middle-aged man replied.
