At the same time, within the headquarters of the Canghuang Alliance.
"Report to Palace Master Lü! We just received word that the people from the other world seem to have discovered Ye Yunfei's whereabouts!"
A scout rushed to Lü Wutian and reported.
"Good! We shall follow them immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Wutian immediately commanded.
A moment later.
Lü Wutian, the Moon Palace Palace Lord, and the Everlasting Mountain Peak Master personally led a large contingent of troops away from the Canghuang Alliance headquarters.
For the Canghuang Alliance now, the most important matter was not dealing with the invaders and restoring their homeland, but dealing with Ye Yunfei and seizing the Canghuang Origin!

Trial Ancient Land.
Within a certain Small World.
Ye Yunfei stood upon the land, with two enormous golden spheres floating high in the sky above his head, like two blazing suns, spewing forth countless golden rays of light that illuminated every inch of the sky and earth with perfect clarity.
The diameter of each golden sphere had reached nine thousand meters!
"The second sun of the Nine-Yang Scripture has finally been cultivated to the Perfection stage!"
Ye Yunfei gazed at the two golden spheres in the sky and spoke to himself.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had ventured in and out of over a dozen Small Worlds in one go, obtaining vast cultivation resources, finally cultivating the Nine-Yang Scripture to the Perfection stage of the second sun.
"Achieving Perfection in the second sun of the Nine-Yang Scripture has increased my spirit energy's intensity by at least five to six times! Moreover, and more importantly, I can now manifest the second phenomenon, Two Avian Ascent! Two Avian Ascent is the first-tier phenomenon of the Nine-Yang Scripture, possessing formidable power and profound mysteries."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Yunfei's face.
"The Nine Palaces Totem Wheel has also improved somewhat."
With a single thought from Ye Yunfei, a dazzlingly bright wheel rose from behind his back. The Nine Divine Beasts stepped out simultaneously, roaring defiantly towards the sky.
All nine Divine Beasts had improved, but the one whose strength had increased the most was still the Taotie!
This was because, among the Nine Divine Beasts, the Taotie could devour any kind of energy, while the other eight Divine Beasts could only refine and absorb energy corresponding to their specific attributes.
It could be said that of the cultivation resources Ye Yunfei had obtained from those over a dozen Small Worlds during this period, half had been devoured and refined by the Taotie.
Among the other eight Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise had also seen a significant leap in strength. The Azure Dragon required wood-attribute energy, the White Tiger required metal-attribute energy, the Vermilion Bird required fire-attribute energy, and the Black Tortoise required water-attribute energy. Energies of these four attributes were still relatively available.
However, the Kun Peng required spatial energy, Lei Ze required lightning energy, Zhu Zhao required utmost Yang-natured energy, and You Ying required utmost Yin-natured energy. Finding these four types of energy was comparatively more difficult.
Especially the energies required by Zhu Zhao and You Ying were extremely hard to find.
Therefore, among the Nine Divine Beasts, the strength of Zhu Zhao and You Ying remained relatively weaker for now.

"My spirit energy realm seems on the verge of breaking free from suppression!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's expression shifted.
The spirit energy within his body began to grow restless, showing signs of a breakthrough.
During this time, Ye Yunfei had refined and absorbed far too many various cultivation resources. His spirit energy realm had already reached the brink of a breakthrough.
"I'll suppress it a little longer, accumulate a bit more, and then choose to break through."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei spoke to himself.
Thus, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged and began suppressing the spirit energy within his body.
A short while later, the restlessness of Ye Yunfei's internal spirit energy was forcibly suppressed, becoming calm once more.
"Continue cultivating."
Ye Yunfei stood up and headed towards another Small World.
In the following days, Ye Yunfei began continuously entering and exiting one Small World after another, exploring their opportunities and collecting their treasures.
Moreover, during this process, Ye Yunfei constantly engaged in life-or-death battles with large numbers of demonic beasts.
Some of the demonic beasts within these Small Worlds possessed strength at the Dao Entry Realm level!
Although Dao Entry Realm cultivators were unable to enter these Small Worlds, these Dao Entry Realm-level demonic beasts were native to these worlds and were not subjected to any repulsive forces.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei's strength continued to increase.
---
One day.
Suddenly, a large group of people barged into this expanse of the Trial Ancient Land.
"They're definitely in this Trial Ancient Land. Everyone, follow the Spatial Tracking Beast! It will lead us to Ye Yunfei!"
The leader, an elder dressed in black, declared.
The forces from the other world had finally arrived!
Whoosh!
A small beast dashed out from the black-robed elder's embrace, speeding towards the starry void ahead.
"Move out!"
The black-robed elder waved his hand, leading his forces to follow behind the Spatial Tracking Beast.
---
At this moment.
Deep within the starry void of the Trial Ancient Land, atop a fragmented continent.
"They've caught up!"
The grey-robed elder sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, meditating with closed eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.
Originally, the grey-robed elder, Shangguan Han, the Ice Demon Da Bing, Hu Miao, and the others had all been staying within the Phantom Tower.
Later, feeling stifled from staying inside the Phantom Tower all the time, the grey-robed elder simply brought everyone to this continent.
The grey-robed elder had lived on this continent for a long time in the past and had developed an attachment to the place.
"These guys really are like persistent ghosts! Let's just fight it out with them!"
The Ice Demon bellowed in anger.
"They outnumber us greatly. A direct confrontation is unwise. They've come looking for Ye Yunfei. We need to notify Ye Yunfei quickly."
Shangguan Han said.
"They're heading in our direction. We must quickly return to the Phantom Tower!"
The grey-robed elder's expression suddenly changed as he spoke.
Whoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared.
The grey-robed elder, Shangguan Han, the Ice Demon, Hu Miao, and the others all immediately transported themselves into the Phantom Tower.
Then, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light and shot towards the distant starry void.
Whoosh!
A small beast approached from afar, locking its gaze on the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
This small beast was precisely the Spatial Tracking Beast.
It seemed to have fixated on the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, pursuing it relentlessly.
Previously, it was the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm that carried Ye Yunfei and escaped right before this Spatial Tracking Beast.
Therefore, this Spatial Tracking Beast had been relentlessly tracking the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's aura.
"The Spatial Tracking Beast has discovered Ye Yunfei and his group! Hurry!"
The black-robed elder charged forth with a large contingent of forces in tow.
---
Following this, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was chased everywhere through the starry void of the Trial Ancient Land by that Spatial Tracking Beast.
No matter where the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm fled, the Spatial Tracking Beast could accurately locate its position and pursue it.
Guided by the Spatial Tracking Beast, the invader forces surrounded, pursued, and intercepted the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, putting it in a very tight spot.
---
"They are indeed here! It seems Ye Yunfei must be here as well!"
Suddenly, another large group of forces barged into this Trial Ancient Land from outside.
The Canghuang Alliance had arrived!
At their head were precisely Lü Wutian, the Moon Palace Palace Lord, and the Everlasting Mountain Peak Master.
"Ye Yunfei must be hiding somewhere in this starry void! Search! Conduct a carpet-style sweep of this starry void!"
Lü Wutian waved his hand and shouted.
---
At this time.
Inside one of the Small Worlds.
"This time, I almost broke through, but I managed to suppress it in the end. This is the second time. On the third occasion, I won't suppress it but will break through directly."
Ye Yunfei once again suppressed the restlessness of the spirit energy within his body, successfully preventing his realm from breaking through.
Other martial artists pursued breakthroughs in their spirit energy realms, but Ye Yunfei had always intentionally suppressed overly rapid breakthroughs, instead focusing on forging the foundation of his spirit energy to the utmost solid degree.
"During this period, my Blood Clan Clone has sucked the blood of at least ten thousand demonic beasts. Its strength has increased greatly, already nearing the early stage of the Dao Molding Realm! Any ordinary Dao Entry Realm cultivator, before this Blood Clan Clone, would only face instant annihilation! Now, relying solely on this Blood Clan Clone, I can rampage across the Canghuang Realm. As for beings at the Dao Entry Realm or below, it can kill as many as they send! Even if it encounters an early stage Dao Molding Realm expert, the Blood Clan Clone can still tangle with them for a while."
Ye Yunfei looked at the Blood Clan Clone standing beside him and said with satisfaction.
The Blood Clan Clone's situation was extremely special; it was effectively a part of Ye Yunfei's own body! Moreover, the Blood Clan Clone's true energy was hidden deep within the blood inside its body, making it very concealed and, to a certain extent, able to evade the perception of the laws of heaven and earth.
Therefore, although its strength far surpassed the Point-Finding Realm, it was not repelled by those Small Worlds.
This point delighted Ye Yunfei immensely.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had brought the Blood Clan Clone in and out of dozens of Small Worlds, almost wiping out over half of the demonic beasts within them!
---
"Something's happening!"
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei's heart suddenly stirred, and he retrieved a communication jade slip.
"They're chasing us again."
After reading the message inside, Ye Yunfei's expression turned grim.
