"Senior, they have the advantage of numbers and aren't easy to deal with."
Ye Yunfei spoke with a trace of concern.
"Young man, don't you worry, I'm not fighting alone either. I have a whole crew of good brothers."
The grey-robed elder laughed heartily.
"Come, follow me."
The grey-robed elder led Ye Yunfei in a certain direction.
A short while later, they arrived before a secluded cultivation cave on a mountain peak.
"Young man, this cave is rich in spiritual energy. You should go inside and heal your wounds properly."
The grey-robed elder said.
"Understood."
Ye Yunfei nodded and entered the cave.
The cave was furnished with a high-grade Spirit Gathering Formation, which attracted various energies from the surrounding starry expanse. Therefore, the spiritual energy was exceptionally abundant.
Ye Yunfei immediately transported himself inside the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, Hu Miao, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm were all inside the tower.
Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, and Hu Miao were all unconscious!
Previously, when the twenty-plus elders had joined hands to unleash their terrifying energy pressure, it had suppressed and severely injured the three women from a distance.
Ye Yunfei, however, had managed to hold on thanks to having cultivated his Greenwood Emperor Body to its perfect stage.
"Fortunately, I obtained a large batch of Void Grade herbs!"
Ye Yunfei took out his cauldron and began refining pills.
One day later.
Ye Yunfei had refined a batch of Void Grade Pills and separately administered them to Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, and Hu Miao.
The effects of the Void Grade Pills were indeed remarkable. After taking the pills, the condition of the three women began to rapidly improve.
"In a few more days, they'll wake up."
Ye Yunfei sensed the states of the three women and let out a sigh of relief.
The strength of those twenty-plus elders was utterly terrifying. A casual strike from them was a devastating blow for younger generation members like Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, and Hu Miao!
Luckily, Hun Lao had activated the Heavenly Dao Tower in time. Otherwise, none of Ye Yunfei's group would have escaped.
"I will have my revenge for this!"
The images of those twenty-plus elders surfaced in Ye Yunfei's mind.
"I've already memorized those old bastards' appearances and soul auras. I will seek them out in the future."
Killing intent filled Ye Yunfei's gaze.
Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, and Hu Miao were all people Ye Yunfei cared for. Now that they had been injured like this, it was only natural that he would want revenge!
"Alright, I should recover as well."
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei continued refining pills.
This time, the pills he refined were all ones imbued with Wood Element energy!
Three days later, Ye Yunfei had produced a large batch of Void Grade Pills rich in Wood Element energy.
Then, Ye Yunfei found a quiet spot within the Heavenly Dao Tower and began seclusion.
*BOOM...*
The Greenwood Emperor Body began its circulation as Ye Yunfei swallowed pill after pill containing Wood Element energy.
One day later.
"My injuries are finally fully healed!"
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
The act of burning his Origin Essence Blood had caused the greatest damage to his body this time.
However, for a body honed to the perfect stage of the Greenwood Emperor Body, such an injury was nothing!
*Rustle...*
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei summoned a large batch of Space Crystals, which piled up around him like miniature hills!
Most of these Space Crystals were obtained within that Illusion Palace.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei began absorbing these Space Crystals.
A day later, the energy within these Space Crystals was completely refined and absorbed!
Ye Yunfei's mastery of spatial energy had increased by a significant notch!
Next, Ye Yunfei took out a huge pile of Nightmare Stones!
Within that Illusion Palace, Ye Yunfei had obtained a great variety of special crystals, including Space Crystals, Nightmare Stones, Time Crystals...
*Whoosh…*
Ye Yunfei began refining and absorbing those Nightmare Stones.
Another day passed.
All the Nightmare Stones were refined and completely absorbed!
*Clang…*
The Heavenly Soul Sword flew out from Ye Yunfei's soul sea, radiating billowing sword light.
"The Heavenly Soul Sword's power has increased once more."
Ye Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out another pile of crystals.
Time Crystals!
"I truly never imagined I'd be able to obtain so many Time Crystals in a realm of such relatively low rank."
Ye Yunfei examined the Time Crystals and couldn't help but comment.
Time Crystals were far more precious and rare than Space Crystals!
"I wonder if these Time Crystals will allow me to preliminarily condense the Time Blade?"
Ye Yunfei felt a spark of anticipation.
The Time Blade was a secret art related to the laws of time.
If one could successfully condense the Time Blade, a single slash could force time to rewind, reversing spacetime. It could also drastically accelerate time, stripping away others' lifespan, or even pause time altogether. Its power was unimaginably vast!
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei clenched both hands, drawing two Time Crystals into each palm, and began refining them.
A day later, all the Time Crystals had been refined and absorbed.
"It's time to attempt condensing the Time Blade."
Ye Yunfei murmured. His hands began moving swiftly, like butterflies flitting through flowers, forming one bizarre seal after another.
One day later.
"Condense!"
Ye Yunfei let out a loud shout.
*Buzz…*
A white blade, half a meter long, appeared before Ye Yunfei, emitting a profound and mysterious aura.
Around this white blade, time seemed to have frozen; everything was still.
"I actually managed to condense the Time Blade!"
Ye Yunfei felt pleasantly surprised.
"However, with my current strength, attempting to utilize time energy and laws is too much of a stretch.
The slightest carelessness could cost me my own lifespan. Therefore, this move can only serve as my ultimate trump card and cannot be used excessively."
Ye Yunfei stated.
Then, he waved his hand. The white blade before him trembled slightly and vanished without a trace.
"Qingluo and the others have awakened!"
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Ye Yunfei's face as he darted towards Su Qingluo's side.
At this moment, Su Qingluo was slowly regaining consciousness.
"Qingluo!"
Ye Yunfei looked at Su Qingluo and called out.
"Ye Yunfei!
Are you alright?!"
The moment Su Qingluo opened her eyes and saw Ye Yunfei, her face lit up with immense joy. She immediately rose to her feet and asked.
"I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly healthy now."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"I had planned to go back to the Tianxuan Continent to find you after leaving this chaos universe. I never expected you would come here as well.
And you've already grown to such a level. I'm not even a match for you anymore!"
Su Qingluo looked at Ye Yunfei with her beautiful eyes, filled with pleasant surprise.
"You've been progressing all along, how could I dare slack off?
If I didn't push myself a bit, I was afraid you might look down on me in the future."
Ye Yunfei said.
"When have I ever looked down on you? Quit the glib talk!"
Su Qingluo gave Ye Yunfei a feigned glare with her beautiful eyes.
"You've suffered a lot over these years, haven't you... traveling all the way from the Tianxuan Continent to reach this place..."
Su Qingluo gazed at Ye Yunfei, feeling a pang of heartache.
The Tianxuan Continent was only a low-level Small World. For a youth to emerge from such a place and grow all the way to his current realm, he must have endured countless hardships.
Su Qingluo, however, was different. She had directly returned to her family. And the Su Clan was already one of the top-ranked major powers in the Canghuang Realm. Her growth to her current heights had involved almost no suffering to speak of.
"Hey, Master, I think I've woken up too. Why hasn't anyone shown me any concern yet?"
At that moment, Hu Miao suddenly piped up, sounding quite displeased.
Xiao Hui also stood not far away, watching Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo.
*Sister Qingluo and Brother Ye Yunfei are truly a match made in heaven.*
Xiao Hui thought to herself.
