Ye Yunfei returned to his personal meditation chamber and entered the Phantom Tower, where he began refining pills.
With the possession of four different exotic flames, Ye Yunfei’s pill-refining speed was faster than ever before. Coupled with his multi-cauldron refinement method, he successfully produced a large batch of pills within just a few hours.
“These pills will ensure a smooth breakthrough for you.”
He then handed the pills to the five bandits who were on the verge of a breakthrough.
“Thank you, Palace Master, for bestowing the pills!”
The five bandits were thrilled. They took the pills and immediately went into seclusion to prepare for their breakthrough.
“I should also take a good period of seclusion to recuperate.”
Ye Yunfei touched his half-grayed hair and spoke. Two consecutive uses of the Time Blade had severely depleted his lifespan.
Fortunately, Ye Yunfei had recently broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm, replenishing a portion of his lifespan. Because, with each realm breakthrough a martial artist achieves, the amount of lifespan they possess increases.
“First, I should refine some pills to replenish the losses over this period.”
Ye Yunfei returned to the Phantom Tower, took out a batch of herbs, and began refining pills again.
They were all Transformation-Grade Herbs!
In that Illusion Palace, Ye Yunfei had harvested a batch of Transformation-Grade Herbs and pills. Later, after beheading the five elders who had crossed over from other realms, he obtained eight to nine thousand Transformation-Grade Herbs and over a thousand Transformation-Grade Pills from them!
Thus, the number of Transformation-Grade Herbs Ye Yunfei now possessed was considerable.
One day later, Ye Yunfei refined a batch of Transformation-Grade Pills!
They were all used to replenish the foundation of life force because the foundation of life force is the very energy that constitutes lifespan.
Rustle...
Ye Yunfei arranged all the Transformation-Grade Pills before him, opened his mouth, and inhaled them all.
Boom…
Astoundingly immense medicinal potency erupted instantly, akin to dozens of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, directly causing Ye Yunfei’s body to swell up like a balloon being inflated.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated his Wood-Attributed Greenwood Emperor Body. Cyan radiance surged from head to toe, making him resemble a sculpture carved from green jade.
Rumble…
Eight meridians manifested, within which mighty Spirit Power surged and roared like eight great rivers.
The Chaos Divine Meridians!
It was precisely because of the Wood-Attributed Cyan Body perfected, along with the Chaos Divine Meridians, that Ye Yunfei dared to swallow so many Transformation-Grade Pills in one go.
Otherwise, with his current Spirit Power realm, consuming so many Transformation-Grade Pills simultaneously would have caused his body to explode long ago.
Boom! Boom!
Surging medicinal potency churned madly within Ye Yunfei’s body, cleansing every inch of flesh and blood over and over again.
Three days later, finally, all the medicinal potency was refined and absorbed!
Ye Yunfei’s hair turned completely black!
“The effect of Transformation-Grade Pills is indeed good. They’ve replenished the loss from using the Time Blade twice consecutively.”
Sensing the condition of his body, Ye Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.
“Next, I should improve my strength. Let’s start with the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel.”
With a thought, a massive circular wheel rose from behind his back.
Nine Divine Beasts crouched within the nine palace grids, emanating mighty beastly auras.
Roar…!
The Gluttonous Divine Beast rushed out, raising its head and roaring towards the sky.
Among the nine divine beasts, the Gluttonous Divine Beast was the easiest to cultivate, capable of absorbing any type of energy.
Ye Yunfei took out large quantities of cultivation resources. The Gluttonous Divine Beast rushed forward and began devouring them immediately.
Ye Yunfei also sat down cross-legged and started cultivating the Nine-Yang Scripture.
Up until now, Ye Yunfei had somewhat neglected the cultivation of the Nine-Yang Scripture. So far, he had only fully cultivated the First Yang to completion. He was approximately halfway through the Second Yang.
“In the future, I should spend more cultivation time on the Nine-Yang Scripture.”
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
At the same time, within the headquarters of several major factions in the Canghuang Realm, furious shouts rang out.
“A mere junior dares to be this arrogant! Immediately send people to Tianluo Star Sea to annihilate Qingyun Palace and kill Ye Yunfei!”
Consequently, batches of troops were dispatched, heading with killing intent towards Tianluo Star Sea.
This time, almost every major faction dispatched masters of elder level!
“This time, Ye Yunfei must be killed!”
Within the starships of the various major forces, formidable experts sat cross-legged, uttering icy statements.
Back inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei cultivated in seclusion for a full year.
During this year, the Gluttonous Divine Beast’s strength increased by a significant margin!
In terms of Spirit Power realm, it broke through to mid Sea Transformation Realm!
At the same time, the diameter of the golden sphere representing the Second Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture reached seven thousand meters!
Although the Second Yang was not yet perfected, it was close.
“Time to improve my Soul Power level.”
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, taking out a batch of Nightmare Stones and Soul Stones, piling them around his body.
These Nightmare Stones and Soul Stones were obtained from those five elders who had crossed over realms!
Rustle…
The Soul-Nourishing Tree flew out and began devouring those Nightmare Stones and Soul Stones.
As more and more Nightmare Stones and Soul Stones were refined and absorbed, Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power level gradually increased.
Soon, ten days passed.
Ye Yunfei completely refined and absorbed the Nightmare Stones and Soul Stones before him. His Soul Power had improved considerably!
“Next, I should properly study the Terrain Manipulation Art.”
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, an ancient book appeared within his Soul Sea.
This ancient book was given to Ye Yunfei by that Geomancer he had encountered within the Burial Heaven Tomb.
Back in the day, that Geomancer had once gathered a group of friends to attack the Heaven Burial Tomb. Without asking, his strength was certainly extremely formidable.
An ordinary martial artist wouldn’t have the courage to attack the Heaven Burial Tomb!
Rustle…
Ye Yunfei, within his Soul Sea, began flipping through the ancient book, reading and comprehending earnestly.
“So this study of terrain manipulation is so profound and mysterious!”
As he read, Ye Yunfei silently marveled.
Previously, Ye Yunfei had somewhat looked down upon the Geomancer lineage, considering it a minor, unworthy skill.
But now, as he delved deeper into the study of terrain manipulation, he was becoming increasingly aware of its profound mysteries.
Within the Phantom Tower, six months later, after repeatedly studying the ancient book several times, Ye Yunfei had committed it to memory.
With Ye Yunfei’s insight and knowledge, practicing any technique or martial skill in the world would be exceptionally easy for him!
“Time for practical application.”
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower and immediately burrowed into the ground, traversing beneath the earth.
After a moment, Ye Yunfei found a location abundant with terrestrial energy and sat down cross-legged.
“Energy-Conducting Art!”
Ye Yunfei performed a specific technique from terrain manipulation studies designed for manipulating terrestrial energy. As his spell gestures were cast, the terrestrial energy present in a large surrounding area converged towards him.
Boom! Boom!
With Ye Yunfei’s spellcasting, the ground in this area trembled violently like a sieve, akin to experiencing an earthquake.
Shortly after, all the terrestrial energy of the entire area was attracted and surrounded Ye Yunfei, surging like a vast ocean.
“Why not seize this opportunity to set up a large-scale earth formation around Qingyun Palace to guard it?”
Gazing at the swirling terrestrial energy around him, Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
Once a large-scale earth formation was set down, this entire area would effectively become a large dangerous zone!
