"I'll cultivate here for a bit, then go out."
Ye Yunfei sat down cross-legged, took out over a hundred thousand top-grade Nightmare Stones, and piled up more than six thousand Ghost Soul Beast inner cores around him, then began his cultivation.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree shot out a large number of roots that extended towards those top-grade Nightmare Stones, absorbing the Soul Force Energy contained within them.
Top-grade Nightmare Stones contained far more Soul Force Energy than ordinary ones, and its quality was higher.
Whoosh…
A vast amount of Soul Force Energy was continuously absorbed by the Soul-Nourishing Tree, purified, and then transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Energy was steadily increasing!
Simultaneously, within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, his Soul Body was cultivating the Eighteen Soul Immortal Art.
The Eighteen Soul Immortal Art was divided into eighteen stances, from the first to the eighteenth, and could then be practiced repeatedly.
This was a foundational mantra Ye Yunfei had used in the past to repeatedly temper the quality of his Soul Power, and it was extremely effective.
Meanwhile…
Without noticing, three days passed.
After three days, the Soul-Nourishing Tree finally finished refining and absorbing all the top-grade soul stones, leaving behind only piles of waste residue!
Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Energy had advanced significantly!
"With my current Soul Power strength, the Soul Sword I unleash can already kill a Dao Entry Realm Initial Stage cultivator, injure a Dao Entry Realm Mid Stage cultivator, and restrain a Dao Entry Realm Late Stage cultivator! In other words, even if I encounter a Dao Entry Realm Late Stage cultivator now, even if I can't defeat them, I can still withdraw with ease!"
Ye Yunfei sensed his own Soul Power and smiled.
Then, Ye Yunfei emerged from this Small World, returning to the starry sky outside.
"Ye Yunfei, you're finally out!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei appeared, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm rushed over.
"We'll stay here for a while longer. You'll be in charge of the Phantom Tower during this time."
Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. Then, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower.
"Senior, I now have sufficient resources to help those elders reshape their Soul Bodies."
Ye Yunfei arrived before the gray-robed elder and spoke.
"Wonderful!"
The gray-robed elder was naturally extremely excited.
The gray-robed elder waved his sleeve, and a dozen warships appeared.
Then, Remnant Souls continuously emerged from those warships.
"Brothers, Ye Yunfei has gathered enough resources to restore your Soul Bodies!"
The gray-robed elder said to those Remnant Souls.
"We are deeply indebted to Young Master Ye!"
The Remnant Souls, each and every one, bowed respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
"Honored Seniors, there's no need for such courtesy."
Ye Yunfei hastily returned the gesture.
Ye Yunfei held great respect for these Remnant Souls.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, taking out several hundred stalks of Heaven Soul Bamboo.
"What are these?"
As soon as they saw these Heaven Soul Bamboo, the War Remnant Souls were all very excited. They could sense that these Heaven Soul Bamboo were of immense benefit to them.
"Honored Seniors, these are Heaven Soul Bamboo. They can nourish the Soul Body. From now on, you shall temporarily reside within these Heaven Soul Bamboo.
Honored Seniors, please enter."
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and the several hundred stalks of Heaven Soul Bamboo flew out, landing individually before those War Remnant Souls.
The War Remnant Souls felt the Heaven Soul Bamboo before them and knew they were indeed of immense benefit to their Soul Bodies. One by one, they flashed and rushed into those stalks of Heaven Soul Bamboo.
"How comfortable!"
"My Soul Body has truly received immense nourishment! If I stay inside this Heaven Soul Bamboo from now on, my Soul Body will only grow stronger, and I'll never have to worry about degradation over time again!"
…
After entering the Heaven Soul Bamboo, the War Remnant Souls let out excited exclamations one after another.
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly.
Heaven Soul Bamboo had a great nourishing effect on Soul Bodies. Staying inside one would naturally feel extremely comfortable.
"Honored Seniors, I will now refine a batch of medicinal pills to strengthen your Soul Bodies."
Ye Yunfei said.
Then, Ye Yunfei found a quiet corner within the Phantom Tower, took out a pill furnace, and began refining pills.
Ten days later.
Ye Yunfei refined a large batch of soul-type medicinal pills, all of them Transformation-Grade!
"Huang Shang, this portion is for you too."
Ye Yunfei handed over a dozen bottles of Transformation-Grade pills to Huang Shang.
These soul-type pills were also very useful to Huang Shang.
Then, Ye Yunfei distributed all the other pills to those War Remnant Souls for them to refine and consume.
"Honored Seniors, the missing parts of your Soul Bodies are relatively severe, and too much time has passed, so rapid restoration in a short period is impossible.
However, rest assured. I will continue to refine more pills for you to consume until your Soul Bodies are restored to normal."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Ye, we owe you a debt beyond words!
From now on, if Young Master Ye ever has any command, we will surely give it our all!"
The War Remnant Souls bowed in unison and spoke respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
"Honored Seniors, you flatter me greatly."
Ye Yunfei hastily returned the gesture.
"Ye Yunfei, can we go find my weapon now and help me reclaim my position as Hall Master?"
Shang Guanhan asked Ye Yunfei.
"No.
You still have to wait a bit longer.
My strength is still insufficient.
In the next period, I must undergo training within this Trial Ancient Land to enhance my power."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"Alright."
Shang Guanhan had no choice but to nod.
Thus, for what followed, Ye Yunfei kept entering and exiting one Small World after another within this Trial Ancient Land.
These Small Worlds contained special laws of heaven and earth, only accessible to beings of the Cave Opening Realm and below.
Ye Yunfei fit the requirements precisely.
Boom…
Within one Small World, Ye Yunfei walked across the land. A huge wheel hovered behind him, and nine divine beasts charged out from the wheel, following Ye Yunfei as he fought through this world.
This Small World contained various kinds of monstrous beasts. As soon as Ye Yunfei stepped in, he was attacked wave after wave.
Roar…
The nine monstrous beasts pounced forward together, their might shaking the heavens.
Two giant golden spheres rushed out from Ye Yunfei's dantian, smashing forward to do battle with those monstrous beasts.
All along the way, Ye Yunfei allowed all the medicinal herbs, crystals, and various treasures he found to be absorbed by the nine divine beasts and the two giant golden spheres.
After searching through one Small World, Ye Yunfei headed towards the next.
Every Small World contained a wealth of opportunities and treasures.
As they refined and absorbed more and more energy, the nine divine beasts grew increasingly powerful.
The golden sphere representing the second sun of the Nine-Yang Scripture continuously increased in size.
"The second sun will soon reach perfection."
Ye Yunfei looked at the golden sphere of the second sun and mused inwardly.
At the same time.
Tianlan Star Sea, headquarters of the Invader Army.
Within one of the tents, a black-robed elder was sitting cross-legged, resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a small beast about the size of a stray dog rushed into this tent and arrived before the black-robed elder.
"Finally, we have found Ye Yunfei's whereabouts!
So he's been hiding in that Trial Ancient Land."
The black-robed elder cupped this small beast in his palms and slowly spoke.
A moment later, the black-robed elder led a troop away from the headquarters, heading in the direction of the Trial Ancient Land.
