A moment later, a green flying boat departed from the Sacred Temple headquarters, heading toward the direction of Tianluo Starry Sea.
At the same time.
The events that transpired at the Su Clan headquarters rapidly spread across the Canghuang Realm at an astonishing speed.
The name Ye Yunfei once again shook the entire Canghuang Realm.
"Slaying seven Dao Molding Realm experts in one battle—is that real?"
Everyone who heard about the incident found it hard to believe.
Dao Molding Realm experts were the pinnacle of strength in the Canghuang Realm, lofty and revered; one could say the Canghuang Realm was ruled by these very experts!
Now, so many Dao Molding Realm experts had fallen, and at the hands of a young junior at that—such a thing was truly astonishing!
Simultaneously, the news of Shangguan Han, the previous Sacred Temple Leader, returning with formidable strength, slaying the current leader Lü Wutian, and retaking the position also spread like wildfire throughout the Canghuang Realm.
"It’s said Shangguan Han and Ye Yunfei are on very good terms!
It was with Ye Yunfei’s help that Shangguan Han reclaimed his position as Temple Leader."
The friendship between Shangguan Han and Ye Yunfei gradually became known.
Canghuang Alliance Headquarters.
Within a resplendent, golden hall.
A large group of high-ranking members from the Canghuang Alliance were present.
"Does Ye Yunfei truly possess the strength to slay early-stage Dao Molding Realm cultivators?
Is Lü Wutian truly dead?"
The Mountain Lord of Bulao Mountain asked with a frown.
Ever since receiving the news, the Mountain Lord of Bulao Mountain had remained somewhat doubtful. After all, such events were hard to accept as truth.
"Mountain Lord, it is real.
Please see for yourself."
A middle-aged man stepped forward, retrieved a recording jade slip, and activated it directly.
Immediately, moving images flowed out from the jade slip, playing continuously.
They were precisely the scenes of Ye Yunfei slaying seven early-stage Dao Molding Realm cultivators and Shangguan Han killing Lü Wutian at the Su Clan headquarters.
"It’s no surprise that Shangguan Han possesses such combat prowess, given that he hails from the same era as us.
But this Ye Yunfei, at such a young age, actually possesses such terrifying strength—he truly defies the natural order!"
After watching the recordings, the Mountain Lord of Bulao Mountain no longer harbored any doubts and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"So young, yet capable of slaying Dao Molding Realm experts—unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed in the history of our Canghuang Realm."
The other Canghuang Alliance higher-ups also voiced their astonishment.
"Mountain Lord, do we continue pursuing Ye Yunfei?"
One of the higher-ups suddenly asked.
"The pursuit continues. We must retrieve the Canghuang Origin.
Only our Canghuang Alliance can represent the Canghuang Realm.
The Canghuang Origin cannot be entrusted to some junior!"
The Mountain Lord of Bulao Mountain said slowly.
"Correct. Immediately dispatch people to track down Ye Yunfei’s whereabouts!"
The Palace Master of Moon Palace also spoke.
At the same time.
Tianlan Starry Sea.
Headquarters of The Other Realm’s invasion forces.
"Damnation!
In this battle, we’ve lost six Dao Molding Realm experts!
Ye Yunfei, just you wait—this grievance will be repaid!"
A black-robed elder was furious, his roars shaking the nearby starry space.
He had taken seven Dao Molding Realm experts to the Su Clan headquarters to deal with Ye Yunfei, making eight total including himself.
Yet only two managed to escape back!
It was utterly disgraceful!
"Reporting, sir! Our reinforcements have arrived!"
Just as this black-robed elder’s rage burned, a middle-aged man came before him and reported.
"Oh?
How many Dao Molding Realm experts have come?"
The black-robed elder’s spirits immediately lifted.
"Eighty!
Among them, twenty-seven are mid-stage Dao Molding Realm!
There are over a thousand into the Dao realm!
Moreover, Lord Changshan has come in person!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly.
"Excellent, simply excellent!
Hahaha...
With such strength, we can roam unhindered in this realm!
Ye Yunfei, just you wait and see—you’re dead for sure!
Come, quickly follow me to welcome Lord Changshan!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder was ecstatic and laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei’s green flying boat was speeding back toward Qingyun Palace.
Inside the green flying boat.
"Ye Yunfei, my brothers are doing much better now. Their soul bodies have almost all been successfully repaired!"
The grey-robed elder said excitedly to Ye Yunfei.
"Brothers, all of you come out now."
The grey-robed elder called out.
Whoosh…
One after another, war remnant souls appeared continuously, standing before Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye."
These war remnant souls all bowed toward Ye Yunfei.
"Senior Masters, please, no need for such courtesy."
Ye Yunfei hurriedly stopped them.
The war remnant souls before him each now possessed intact and complete soul bodies, brimming with robust soul power and vitality. Their condition was incomparably better than before.
They could hardly be called remnant souls now.
Over the past period, whenever Ye Yunfei had a moment of free time, he would personally refine pills for these war remnant souls to consume.
Moreover, all these war remnant souls now resided within the Heavenly Soul Bamboo, an environment that constantly nourished their soul bodies.
Their soul bodies not only no longer deteriorated with time but were continuously repairing and strengthening!
"Ye Yunfei, if my brothers now merge into your body, your combat power would definitely grow even stronger, perhaps capable of battling mid-stage Dao Molding Realm opponents."
The grey-robed elder said.
"Senior, I will teach you a technique. With it, you can allow these seniors to temporarily merge into your body, significantly boosting your combat power."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Ye Yunfei, I still think it’s better if you do the merging. You can unleash the strongest possible combat power by fusing with my brothers."
The grey-robed elder replied.
"I don’t need to.
I believe it won’t be long before I possess the strength to fight mid-stage, or even late-stage, Dao Molding Realm opponents."
Ye Yunfei said.
"True.
Ye Yunfei, with your current strength and talent, your potential for growth is frightening."
The grey-robed elder couldn't help but nod.
Next, Ye Yunfei imparted the Soul Guidance Art to the grey-robed elder.
The Soul Guidance Art originally belonged to the category of devouring techniques—it could strengthen one’s own soul body by devouring the remnant souls of other beings.
By nature, it was a sinister technique.
However, after Ye Yunfei’s modifications, this technique could temporarily merge with the remnant souls of other beings, consolidating their power to fight together.
"Senior, you must absolutely not harbor greed and use this technique to devour the soul bodies of other beings.
Otherwise, once you absorb too many soul bodies from different beings, your own soul body would fuse with various disparate emotions, fragmented memories, and all sorts of chaotic thoughts. Ultimately, this would cause a drastic change in temperament, leading to Qi deviation and demonic possession.
You might even become a villain who forgets their past, recognizes no kin, and knows only slaughter.
It is said this technique originated from the Ashura Realm and belongs to an evil classification."
Ye Yunfei solemnly cautioned the grey-robed elder.
"Ye Yunfei, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have taught me this technique.
I should find a way to forget it."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the grey-robed elder was startled.
"Senior, don’t be afraid. I’ve already modified this technique; it differs from the original version.
Moreover, as long as you, Senior, don’t harbor greed or actively try to devour others’ soul bodies, there won’t be any adverse consequences.
If you utilize it properly, merging with these seniors during battle, you can easily combat mid-stage Dao Molding Realm experts, or even late-stage ones.
The Canghuang Realm remains embroiled in war, and this technique will be very useful to you."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Alright!
Ye Yunfei, I’ll listen to you."
The grey-robed elder hesitated for a moment before nodding firmly.
"The invaders are still continuously occupying new starry seas. The Canghuang Realm remains in the midst of war; who knows when this turmoil will finally end."
The grey-robed elder sighed.
"This turmoil can only be ended by us. We cannot place our hopes on the Canghuang Alliance."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Humph!
The higher-ups of the Canghuang Alliance are now solely focused on how to seize the Canghuang Origin. Their schemes are treacherous; we cannot possibly expect them to end this war!"
Just mentioning the Canghuang Alliance brought an angry expression to the grey-robed elder’s face.
"Senior, don’t worry. Once I return to Qingyun Palace, we shall reorganize the Qingyun Grand Army and thoroughly quell this turmoil in the Canghuang Realm."
Ye Yunfei thought briefly before speaking.
"Ye Yunfei, you truly are the Canghuang Realm’s blessing!
You’ve worked hard!"
The grey-robed elder said gratefully.
