One day later, Ye Yunfei piloted his Flying Boat into a star sea called Doujiao Star Sea.
Ye Yunfei discovered that this star sea had not yet been visited by the invaders.
However, the star sea was filled with patrolling forces, its defenses extremely tight.
The moment Ye Yunfei's Flying Boat entered the star sea, he encountered several groups of patrollers charging towards the green vessel, intending to question him.
However, the green Flying Boat was simply too fast. Ye Yunfei accelerated instantly, leaving the patrolling forces unable to intercept him.
"My head is hidden in the Xuantian Star Domain within this Doujiao Star Sea. It's in that direction," the brawny man said.
Ye Yunfei steered the Flying Boat towards the Xuantian Star Domain.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived within the Xuantian Star Domain.
This was the most powerful star domain within Doujiao Star Sea.
There were a total of seven planets within the domain.
"The arrangement of these seven planets... it's actually subtly profound, like the Big Dipper Formation recorded in ancient geomancy texts!" Standing in the starry void in the distance and observing the seven planets, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but think to himself.
The subject of Geomancy was vast and profound, not limited to a single landmass or planet; it could also be applied within the starry void! The ancient geomancy tome passed down to Ye Yunfei by the Earth Sect member within the Burial Heaven Tomb contained numerous records about starry formations—either utilizing the mutual resonance between multiple stars or harnessing the general momentum of the starry void itself!
"My head is hidden on that planet called Tianshu Star," the brawny man appeared beside Ye Yunfei, pointing to one of the planets.
"Good. We'll go find your head now," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Moments later, Ye Yunfei landed on Tianshu Star.
It was a fairly large planet with abundant Spiritual Qi. The faint, intangible roars of Dao principles could be vaguely heard.
"Who are you?!" The moment Ye Yunfei landed on Tianshu Star, over a dozen figures swiftly approached from afar, blocking his path.
Leading them was an elder in green robes, who scrutinized Ye Yunfei with probing eyes.
"I've come to Tianshu Star to retrieve an item. I will leave afterward," Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Now was a time of war engulfing the entire cosmos, so Ye Yunfei understood their need to question strangers.
"Who are you? Where are you from?" the green-robed elder asked, examining Ye Yunfei warily.
"I am Ye Yunfei, from Qingyun Palace," Ye Yunfei answered directly.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength and methods, he dared to venture even into the three central star seas, let alone an ordinary star sea like this. There was simply no need to conceal his identity.
"Ye Yunfei! Qingyun Palace!" Hearing this, the green-robed elder jumped in fright.
Within the Canghuang Realm, Ye Yunfei and Qingyun Palace could already be considered famous.
Especially the incident where a mysterious expert suddenly appeared within Qingyun Palace and slew twenty Dao Entry Realm experts in a single battle—that had shocked the entire cosmos.
However, the cultivators of this realm had no inkling of Ye Yunfei slaughtering several dozen Dao Entry Realm experts from the other half of the Canghuang Realm during this recent period. Therefore, they were still unaware that Ye Yunfei himself possessed the means to kill Dao Entry Realm experts.
"So it's Palace Master Ye. Might I ask the reason for your esteemed visit to our Tianshu Star?" the green-robed elder inquired.
"To retrieve an item," Ye Yunfei replied flatly.
"Oh? I wonder what item on our Tianshu Star has caught Palace Master Ye's eye?" the green-robed elder probed again.
"Enough. I'll leave as soon as I get what I came for," Ye Yunfei's expression darkened. His figure flashed as he soared into the air, heading in a specific direction.
Under normal circumstances, even an ordinary cultivator arriving wouldn't face such interrogation unless they were an invader.
"Hmph! Quite the lofty airs. If this were at Qingyun Palace's headquarters, I certainly wouldn't dare provoke you. But now you've come to our Tianshu Star. Here, a dragon must coil, and a tiger must crawl!" The green-robed elder watched Ye Yunfei's receding figure, his eyes flashing with anger as he sneered.
"Keep an eye on him! I'll go report to Sect Leader Mo!" the green-robed elder whispered to a middle-aged man beside him.
"Understood. I'll take some men and watch him immediately," the middle-aged man nodded.
Moments later, following the brawny man's directions, Ye Yunfei arrived before a tall mountain peak.
This peak towered into the clouds. Its upper half was wreathed in white clouds, its abundant Spiritual Qi having condensed into mist, making it seem like the abode of a deity.
"My head is hidden on a cliff near the peak of this mountain, inside a half-cave in the rock face," the brawny man said, pointing at the peak ahead.
Ye Yunfei looked in the indicated direction. Indeed, on one side of the peak, there was a ten-thousand-zhang sheer cliff. On that cliff face was the entrance to a cave.
"Your head is hidden in the Heaven position of the Eight Trigrams, isn't it?" Ye Yunfei stated.
"Yes," the brawny man nodded.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, appearing before the cave entrance on the cliff.
A wave of bone-chilling, piercing cold air surged out from within the cave.
"This cave contains a vast amount of Millennial Profound Ice, making it extremely cold. Cultivators without sufficient strength who enter can easily be frozen into ice sculptures. I sealed my head inside a block of that Profound Ice back then," the brawny man explained.
"Let's go take a look," Ye Yunfei said. His figure flickered as he entered the cave.
Shortly after Ye Yunfei entered the cave, sharp, fierce figures suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly flying towards this mountain peak.
Very soon, a large group of men surrounded the mountain peak, encircling it completely.
"Ye Yunfei actually barged into the Devil's Absolute Ice Cave. Is he looking for death?" One of the elders stared at the cave on the cliff, frowning.
This cave on the cliff might appear ordinary, but on Tianshu Star, it was notoriously sinister. Rumor had it that a Peak Star Gathering Realm expert once ventured inside to see what was within, only to disappear completely, never to emerge again. Later, an early-stage Dao Entry Realm expert entered but fled in haste after only proceeding a short distance inside. According to that early-stage Dao Entry Realm expert, the Devil's Absolute Ice Cave harbored immense danger. Even a Late-stage Dao Entry Realm expert risked falling if they ventured to its deepest depths. Since then, no one dared to enter the Devil's Absolute Ice Cave again.
"Everyone, we'll wait here. If Ye Yunfei comes out, we'll make our move. We can't let him escape!" one elder said gravely.
By this time, Ye Yunfei was already inside the cave, descending along a stone staircase.
Rolling waves of cold air continuously surged from the depths of the cave. Both stone walls were coated with thick layers of frost and ice.
"There's a familiar feeling to this ice. Could it be... I'm encountering an acquaintance?" Ye Yunfei examined the icy layers on the stone walls around him, thinking to himself.
"This ice cave is extremely dangerous. How did you end up hiding your head here back then? Weren't you afraid of dying?" Ye Yunfei suddenly asked the brawny man.
"When I first arrived on this Tianshu Star back then, a large group of enemies discovered my trail and came hunting me. The situation was extremely perilous; I was almost cornered. Hearing that this Devil's Absolute Ice Cave was extremely dangerous, in my desperation, I plunged headlong into it. After hiding here for a few years, I simply left my head behind and let the other parts of my body depart," the brawny man recounted.
"My head... it won't be in trouble, will it? If something happened to my head, I won't be able to form a complete body!" The brawny man suddenly grew worried.
"We'll know soon. Let's hope your head is fine," Ye Yunfei said.
