Eastern Region, Tianying Small World.
Ye Yunfei arrived at the entrance and exit point of the Tianying Small World and directly crossed inside.
He then proceeded straight to the Tianying Hall.
"Young Master Ye!"
Upon discovering Ye Yunfei's arrival, Tianying Wang and the eight Tianying Elders were overjoyed and immediately rushed forward to greet him.
"Young Master Ye, have you managed to find the materials needed to help us reform physical bodies?" Tianying Wang asked directly.
This was because the last time Ye Yunfei returned to the Tianying Small World, he had promised to gather materials to help Tianying Wang and the eight elders reform their bodies.
And Tianying Wang and the eight elders had also sworn an oath that they would follow Ye Yunfei in the future.
Therefore, Tianying Wang and the eight elders were now considered Ye Yunfei's people.
"Not yet.
But rest assured, helping you reform your physical bodies isn't a difficult matter for me. I will help you do so sooner or later," Ye Yunfei said.
"Then well. Young Master Ye, we will wait," Tianying Wang replied.
"I've come this time mainly to deliver a batch of pills to you, to strengthen your Soul Bodies," Ye Yunfei stated.
After saying this, he directly took out a large number of jade vials and handed them to Tianying Wang.
"Sacred Pills!"
Tianying Wang and the eight elders opened a few of the vials and were thrilled.
The last time, Ye Yunfei had brought them Dao Pills; this time, it was Sacred Pills!
And there was a vast quantity!
"These Sacred Pills are all specifically for repairing the Soul Body and will be very useful to you. After consuming them, your Soul Bodies will be able to endure and linger in this world for a long time, without worrying about disappearing due to the depletion of your Soul Power.
Furthermore, from now on, you can cultivate your Soul Bodies, making them constantly strengthen. One day, they will recover to their peak state," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Tianying Wang and the eight elders said respectfully in unison, their bodies trembling with excitement.
"Young Master Ye, originally, we were merely a few lingering Remnant Souls in this world, barely clinging on with our last breath. We had, at most, a few decades before our souls would scatter into nothingness completely. It was you who gave us hope for a second life!
Young Master Ye, I swear that we will follow you forever, with no regrets!" Tianying Wang declared solemnly.
"If that's the case, then you are my own people now. There's no need for such formality," Ye Yunfei said with a nod.
"How are your clan's youths doing now? I'll go take a look to see if I can assist them," Ye Yunfei added after a moment of thought.
"Good! Young Master Ye, please follow me!" Tianying Wang immediately said.
Then, Tianying Wang and the eight elders personally led Ye Yunfei deeper into the palace.
Shortly after, they arrived at an entrance to an underground passageway and proceeded downwards.
After walking for an hour, they entered an underground palace.
The area of this underground palace was extremely vast.
Inside, transparent crystal coffins were arranged one after another!
Each crystal coffin held a youth lying within!
They were around thirteen or fourteen years old.
Youths of the Tianying Clan!
The underground palace was arranged with numerous large-scale Formations, tightly protecting those crystal coffins.
Moreover, piles of priceless spiritual materials surrounded the coffins, nourishing the youths inside.
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze across and discovered that there were fully two thousand crystal coffins in this underground palace!
Two thousand youths of the Tianying Clan!
In ancient times, the Tianying Clan was a powerful clan that shook the heavens, having forged a mighty reputation.
Who would have thought that now, only nine Remnant Souls and two thousand youths remained.
"Hmm... In the past, using your clan's secret technique, you tightly sealed the bodies of these two thousand youths. Their Soul Bodies and life force remain perfectly preserved within their bodies.
Their condition is akin to hibernation.
Once conditions are ripe in the future, you will unseal their bodies and allow them to continue growing," Ye Yunfei observed after examining the Tianying Clan youths, understanding the situation.
"Exactly.
Although Young Master Ye is young, his knowledge is exceptional. He saw through our arrangement from the past at a single glance!" Tianying Wang and the eight elders exclaimed in awe upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
This was because what Ye Yunfei said was completely accurate!
"However, you cannot seal these youths for too long. Although your Tianying Clan's sealing technique is profound, the power of the Law of Time is terrifying.
If these youths remain sealed for an extended period, their life force essence will eventually suffer damage, hindering their future growth," Ye Yunfei continued.
"The power of the Law of Time!"
Hearing this, Tianying Wang and the eight elders paled.
"Young Master Ye, you are right!
If these youths of our Tianying Clan are sealed for too long, they will inevitably suffer damage from the Law of Time.
It seems we need to unseal them soon," Tianying Wang said solemnly, beginning to realize the seriousness of the issue.
"Yes, we must help our clan's youths unseal now," the eight elders nodded in agreement.
As Remnant Souls, Tianying Wang and the eight elders deeply understood how terrifying the Law of Time could be!
Without Ye Yunfei's help, they, the nine of them, would have only been able to linger in this world for a few decades at most, before exhausting their soul essence and scattering away due to the passage of time.
It could be said that nothing in this world can withstand the erosion of the Law of Time!
"In that case, I will now refine a batch of pills for these youths to consume and absorb, strengthening their life force essence.
You choose an auspicious date and help these youths unseal, then let them grow properly within this Tianying Small World for some time.
The next time I return, I will take you all out.
This small space isn't suitable for your Tianying Clan.
The stage for the Tianying Clan is in the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei proposed.
"Understood!
Young Master Ye, we will follow your instructions completely!"
Upon hearing his words, Tianying Wang and the eight elders all trembled and spoke in unison.
The Tianying Clan's stage indeed belonged in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
Back then, it was only because they were hunted by enemies that Tianying Wang and the eight elders fled all the way to settle in this remote and low-level Small World.
Next, Ye Yunfei took action personally, refining a batch of Sacred Pills, numbering in the thousands!
"Tianying Wang, I will now impart a specialized cultivation technique to you for strengthening the Soul Body. Diligently cultivate it, and your Soul Bodies will grow stronger over time.
Once I help you reform physical bodies in the future, you will be able to rapidly recover to your peak strength from the past," Ye Yunfei said. Then, he extended a finger and sent a strand of Soul Power information into Tianying Wang's body.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Tianying Wang was so moved that he bowed to Ye Yunfei once more.
"Alright.
I'll be leaving now.
The next time I return will be when I take you all away from this Small World," Ye Yunfei finally said.
He then bid farewell to Tianying Wang and the eight elders and left the Tianying Small World.
"Whenever I face Young Master Ye, I always have this feeling that he is the senior, an antiquity who has existed for far longer than I have, while I am the youngster.
What he knows surpasses my understanding immensely!" Tianying Wang sighed with emotion, gazing at Ye Yunfei's receding figure.
"I feel the same. Facing Young Master Ye feels like facing a teacher who knows everything!" one of the elders said with a bitter smile.
"Everyone, Young Master Ye is too mysterious and definitely has a stunning origin!
With merely slight assistance from him, our Tianying Clan has undergone an earth-shaking transformation and regained hope for resurgence!
I have a premonition that Young Master Ye is the key to whether our Tianying Clan can truly rise again in the future.
Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and truly follow him from now on!" Tianying Wang stated gravely.
"Yes." The eight Tianying Clan Elders nodded simultaneously.
