"The Roc's strength has also improved by a great margin!"
Ye Yunfei examined the Roc standing by his side, feeling quite satisfied.
All the Space Crystals obtained from the two prisoners on the Heavenly Dao Tower's second level had been completely refined and absorbed by the Roc.
Swish! Swish!
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and one after another, pitch-black Spatial Blades shot out and slashed through the air.
There were a total of fifty Spatial Blades!
The higher his spatial energy level, the more Spatial Blades he could produce!
"The seals inside those prisoners on the second level flare up every three months. I can continue extracting their valuables. This truly is a treasure vault!"
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
"Hu Miao, how much longer until we reach the Sacred Temple headquarters?"
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Hu Miao to ask.
"Roughly three more hours," Hu Miao replied.
"We still have some time. Let's continue cultivating."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before speaking.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took out a large quantity of top-grade spirit crystals and resumed his closed-door cultivation.
After all, three hours in the outside world was close to twenty-some days within the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei retrieved all the crystals, herbs, and elixirs he had obtained from the two prisoners on the second level and piled them up around him.
Then, Ye Yunfei began circulating the Nine-Yang Scripture.
Boom! Rumble…
The eight Chaos Divine Meridians within his body simultaneously manifested like eight great rivers, rumbling with overwhelming power.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
The eight Divine Meridians erupted with powerful suction forces, beginning to refine and absorb the crystals, herbs, and elixirs surrounding him.
Simultaneously, a single point of golden light began to appear within Ye Yunfei's dantian.
This was the golden sphere of the Third Yang!
When the Second Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture reached completion, the Third Yang would automatically come into being.
The energy refined and absorbed by the eight Divine Meridians circulated through the meridians of his entire body once before converging towards the dantian, where it was ultimately absorbed by the Third Yang's golden sphere!
As it absorbed more and more energy, the golden sphere of the Third Yang began to expand in volume.
"A breakthrough is approaching!"
Twenty days later, Ye Yunfei discovered signs that his spiritual power realm was on the verge of breaking through.
"Let me suppress it for now."
Ye Yunfei thought it over and decided not to breakthrough for the time being.
With his current combat power, combined with his Blood Clan clone, Ye Yunfei could already engage early-stage Dao Molding Realm experts!
For now, his combat strength was temporarily sufficient. There was no need to rush a breakthrough in his spiritual power realm.
His cultivation experience spanning a thousand years had taught Ye Yunfei just how important a solid and robust spiritual power foundation was.
He remembered clearly that it was only when undergoing his Deification Tribulation that he discovered not only was his physical body extremely fragile, but his spiritual power foundation was also inadequately solid.
While resisting the heavenly tribulation, a hundred thousand thunder beings descended from the void to surround and attack Ye Yunfei.
That battle lasted a full three months.
During the fight, Ye Yunfei realized that his energy was being depleted more and more severely. In the later stages, he was already feeling stretched thin, and his physical body was riddled with wounds.
It was under these circumstances that the other three Heavenly Emperors managed to successfully ambush him, nearly shattering both his body and soul into nothingness!
Thus, in this lifetime, during his cultivation, Ye Yunfei not only dedicated a vast amount of time and effort to temper his physical body, but also deliberately suppressed the speed of his spiritual power breakthroughs, meticulously polishing his spiritual power foundation.
Otherwise, possessing the Chaos Divine Meridians, cultivating the Nine-Yang Scripture, and with the rich cultivation experience from his previous life, Ye Yunfei's spiritual power realm would have long since far surpassed his current level!
Next, Ye Yunfei employed a secret art to suppress the agitation of his internal spiritual power.
Then, he continued cultivating.
Several days later.
"Master, we are about to arrive at the Sacred Temple headquarters!"
Hu Miao suddenly sent Ye Yunfei a Sound Transmission.
Ye Yunfei immediately stopped his cultivation and teleported out from within the Phantom Tower, appearing inside the green flying vessel.
Shangguan Han, Bing Mo Ren, and the gray-robed elder also ended their closed-door cultivation and emerged from the Phantom Tower one after another.
"This is the Tiansheng Star Domain! The Sacred Temple headquarters is just ahead!"
Shangguan Han stared at the starry sky ahead, recognizing it at a glance.
He was the former Hall Master of the Sacred Temple and was intimately familiar with this region of space!
"That planet ahead is Tiansheng Star! The Sacred Temple headquarters is on Tiansheng Star!"
Shangguan Han pointed at a planet in the starry sky ahead, speaking with excitement.
It was a relatively large planet. Even from afar, one could see dense spiritual energy and the reverberations of laws on its surface. It was a planet suitable for habitation and cultivation.
"What are your thoughts? Charge in directly, or use another method?"
Ye Yunfei looked at Shangguan Han and asked.
"Let us first sneak in quietly. There are some details I need to clarify. Back in the day, there was a group of people within the Sacred Temple headquarters who were extremely loyal to me. I do not know their current situation. I will seek them out first to see how many are still willing to follow me. Moreover, I have been away from the Sacred Temple headquarters for such a long time that I am not very clear about their true current strength. So, let us first blend in and understand the situation before we decide."
Shangguan Han said.
"As you wish."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Alright. You and I will blend in together. All the others will enter the Phantom Tower."
Ye Yunfei said.
Ye Yunfei possessed the Thousand Forms Transformation technique, which could alter both his appearance and Soul Power aura.
The gray-robed elder had previously given Shangguan Han a mask. This mask could also alter appearance and meticulously conceal Soul Power auras.
Ye Yunfei put away the green flying vessel, and together with Shangguan Han, headed towards Tiansheng Star ahead.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei and Shangguan Han arrived above Tiansheng Star.
"Halt!"
A team of men and horses appeared, blocking their path.
The Canghuang Realm was currently in a state of war. Thus, all star seas and factions had strengthened their defenses, conducting strict inspections of unfamiliar travelers.
"Brothers..."
Shangguan Han stepped forward to negotiate with the team, even discreetly handing a spatial ring to their leader, a minor captain.
"Alright, you may proceed. Remember, upon arriving at Tiansheng Star, you must abide by the rules here! These two are your temporary identity tokens."
After accepting the spatial ring, the minor captain's attitude softened considerably. He retrieved two silver tokens and tossed them to Shangguan Han.
A short while later, Shangguan Han and Ye Yunfei landed on Tiansheng Star before a tall, imposing mountain peak.
"This is Thousand Sages Peak. That elder normally resides upon this mountain peak."
Shangguan Han said to Ye Yunfei.
"However, layers upon layers of formations are arranged upon Thousand Sages Peak. If we force our way up, we could easily scare him off."
Shangguan Han scrutinized Thousand Sages Peak before him, frowning as he spoke.
"That's easily solved."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
Ye Yunfei immediately released his Soul Power, extending his perception towards Thousand Sages Peak ahead, beginning to analyze and study the formations upon the peak.
Nearly an hour later.
"Let's go, up we go! Follow closely behind me!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke, taking a step forward and charging towards Thousand Sages Peak like a streak of lightning.
