"Uncle, does me being by your side bring you more and more trouble?
Suddenly, a little girl appeared before Ye Yunfei, looking up at him with a small face as she asked.
It was the Canghuang Origin!
She had been staying within the Heavenly Dao Tower all this while, but she could clearly see everything that happened outside. She knew most of those who came looking for trouble with Ye Yunfei were after her!
"It's fine. I'm not afraid of trouble, Uncle."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Uncle, I know all the places in this Canghuang Realm where good things are.
Whatever you need, just tell me, and I'll take you to get it.
You've been too good to me, Uncle, I want to repay you."
The little girl said.
"Good things?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes!
Uncle, I'll take you to get those good things!"
The little girl nodded.
"Ye Yunfei, she is the Canghuang Origin. She can go anywhere within the scope of the Canghuang Realm. The 'good things' she mentioned should refer to various celestial treasures."
The gray-robed elder transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"That's right.
As the essence of this realm, she possesses powerful space-shifting abilities and can easily reach any corner of the Canghuang Realm."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Do you know where to find these?"
Ye Yunfei took out several Space Crystals.
"Of course I know! I know a place with many of these stones!
Uncle, I can take you to get them!"
The little girl said happily.
"What about these?"
Ye Yunfei brought out several Top-Grade Spirit Crystals.
"These stones are the most plentiful!
I know several places where the ground is buried with piles of them!"
The little girl said.
"And these?"
Ye Yunfei took out several different crystals, some being Top-Grade Nightmare Stones and others being Time Crystals.
"These are more plentiful.
These are a bit rarer, but I know a place that has them."
The little girl examined them and replied.
"Uncle, aside from these stones, there are also many flowers, plants, and trees that are very useful. I often used to pick and eat the fruits from those flowers, plants, and trees."
The little girl said.
"What she's referring to are likely high-grade medicinal herbs. Ordinary plants and trees wouldn't be able to attract the Canghuang Origin."
The gray-robed elder transmitted his thoughts to Ye Yunfei.
"True."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
The little girl before him was a consciousness born from the Canghuang Origin—high-level in nature. Anything worthy of her attention had to be exceptionally precious treasure.
"Uncle, what do you want? I'll take you to get it."
The little girl said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright.
Uncle is a bit busy these two days.
After two days, you can take Uncle to get them."
Ye Yunfei nodded, a surge of excitement welling in his heart.
With the Canghuang Origin leading the way, it was certain they could find many precious cultivation resources!
If I can obtain large quantities of cultivation resources, it will be time to properly elevate the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel!
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
The Nine Palaces Totem Wheel was an exceptionally advanced technique. However, cultivating it required immense amounts of resources.
Each of the nine divine beasts needed enormous resources to enhance their strength.
Among them, the one that had consumed the most cultivation resources was the Gluttonous Beast. Yet its current combat prowess only reached the Dao Entering Realm.
If he wanted to elevate the Gluttonous Beast's combat power to the Dao Molding Realm, it would require a massive amount of precious resources!
This had been the main reason why his cultivation of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel had remained stalled for so long.
He lacked cultivation resources!
Now I can extort the guys in the second floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower, and I have the Canghuang Origin to take me to find even more cultivation resources.
From now on, it's time to dramatically increase my combat power!
Ye Yunfei resolved inwardly.
Two days later.
The Green Flying Boat returned to the Xuanyuan Star Sector, the headquarters of Qingyun Palace.
"The Six Gods Perilous Ground and the Three Ghosts Decapitation Perilous Ground have both been breached!
The formations I arranged have also been destroyed for the most part!"
As soon as the Green Flying Boat arrived outside Qingyun Palace's headquarters, Ye Yunfei's eyes couldn't help but narrow, turning icy cold.
This meant Qingyun Palace's headquarters had been attacked!
Though there was a batch of disciples guarding the mountain gate ahead, appearing quite leisurely, indicating Qingyun Palace's headquarters was likely unscathed.
Ye Yunfei also noticed that in the surrounding areas of Qingyun Palace, a large number of martial artists had set up many tents, looking as though they were setting up camp here.
Ye Yunfei put away the flying boat and led the gray-robed elder and the Ice Demon into Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
"Palace Master, it's you!
The Palace Master has returned!"
Yang Tianhu of the Seven Great Bandits was the first to sense Ye Yunfei's presence. He rushed out from his secluded cultivation spot and, upon seeing Ye Yunfei, was overjoyed, immediately charging over.
After that, other Qingyun Palace high-level officials appeared one after another, crowding around Ye Yunfei.
"Palace Master, in recent times, our Qingyun Palace has faced over a dozen waves of enemy assaults.
Among them were the invading forces, troops from the Canghuang Alliance, and also some major factions within the Canghuang Realm, such as the Jietian Sect, the Corpse Valley, the Brightness Ancient Religion, and so on.
In short, every couple of days, a wave of enemies would come to attack."
Within Qingyun Palace's council hall, Chu Ji briefly explained the palace's situation in recent times to Ye Yunfei.
"What are our casualties like?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Zero casualties.
Soon after you left last time, Palace Master, a wave of invaders arrived, breaking through the Six Gods Perilous Ground and the Three Ghosts Decapitation Perilous Ground, nearly breaching Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, that senior from the Heavenly Beast Forest suddenly appeared, killing every last one of the attacking invaders.
Ever since that time, whenever any troops entered the Xuanyuan Star Sector, I immediately informed that senior.
That senior always managed to arrive on time.
All the enemies who dared to attack were slain by that senior.
That senior's strength is simply terrifying!
Already three Dao Molding Realm experts have been crushed to death by a single palm strike from him!
In recent days, no one has dared to provoke our Qingyun Palace."
Chu Ji reported.
"That's good."
Ye Yunfei nodded upon hearing this.
With the Suanni guarding Qingyun Palace, no being within the Canghuang Realm could harm its members.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei had already transferred a large number of important people to the branch stronghold within the Heavenly Beast Forest.
"There's one more thing. Right now, many factions within the Tianlan Star Sea wish to pledge allegiance to our Qingyun Palace, seeking protection.
Many faction leaders have brought all their members and stationed them around our Qingyun Palace headquarters.
I suppose they fear the invaders from The Other Realm might suddenly attack the Tianlan Star Sea."
Chu Ji added.
"You all handle such matters as you see fit."
Ye Yunfei said casually.
Then, Ye Yunfei proceeded to rebuild the already-destroyed Six Gods Perilous Ground and Three Ghosts Decapitation Perilous Ground and added five more powerful perilous grounds for good measure.
After that, Ye Yunfei arranged a whole new series of formations, heavily layering protection over and within Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
This way, Qingyun Palace headquarters was now guarded by seven perilous grounds and a host of formations.
"Senior Chu, select a group of elite Qingyun Palace disciples. I want to focus on training them."
Ye Yunfei said to Chu Ji.
"Understood.
I'll get to it immediately!"
Chu Ji answered.
Half a day later, Chu Ji brought a group of elite Qingyun Palace disciples before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei transferred all these disciples into the Phantom Tower, giving Chu Ji a few more instructions.
Then Ye Yunfei took the gray-robed elder and the Ice Demon into the Green Flying Boat and headed towards the Holy Region's Heavenly Beast Forest.
