Two days later.
Within the Tian Beast World.
Over these two days, Ye Yunfei had been sitting cross-legged upon the Teleportation Altar, as still as an old monk deep in meditation.
At a certain moment.
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes.
"How is it?"
The middle-aged man had been waiting anxiously by the altar the entire time. Upon seeing Ye Yunfei open his eyes, he hurriedly asked.
"Mission accomplished, this Teleportation Altar has been successfully repaired," Ye Yunfei said as he stood up, slowly letting out a breath.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunfei gently stamped his foot on the altar.
Boom...
The entire altar began to tremble violently, releasing vast amounts of spatial energy.
Streaks of dazzling light shot out, illuminating the surrounding space with piercing clarity.
"This Teleportation Altar is now operational," Ye Yunfei said, looking towards the middle-aged man.
"Good, good, excellent! I have finally awaited this day!" The middle-aged man was trembling all over with extreme excitement.
"Ye Yunfei, thank you! Fortunately, I encountered you. Otherwise, I have no idea how much longer I would have been trapped in this world."
For him, this Small World was like a prison, severely hampering the recovery of his physical body.
The Mythical Lion was a highly advanced divine beast. A mature Mythical Lion possessed power close to that of a Heavenly Emperor!
Although the worldly laws and energy present in this Small World were much more advanced than those of the Canghuang Realm, they were insufficient to restore the Mythical Lion's body.
He needed more advanced energy!
"There's no need to stand on ceremony," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Rest assured. Although this Teleportation Altar is repaired, I will not leave immediately. I will stay here for a while longer. I won't depart until your crisis is resolved," the middle-aged man stated.
"Thank you," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Considering the timing, those beings from other realms should be arriving in the Xuanhuang Star Domain soon. I'll go out and take a look first," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll join you when action is required," the middle-aged man nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei walked out of the Ancient Beast Realm and returned to the Heavenly Beast Forest.
"Pass down the order: seal the headquarters' main gate. Gather all personnel. No one is to enter or leave without authorization!" Ye Yunfei found Chu Ji and issued the command.
Soon, the main gate of the Qingyun Palace headquarters closed, and all personnel gathered deep within the Heavenly Beast Forest, in the valley where the entrance to the Ancient Beast Realm was located.
At the same time.
Streaks of sharp, powerful figures cut through the sky, rapidly approaching the Heavenly Beast Forest.
"The forest ahead should be the headquarters of Qingyun Palace!" A brawny man carrying a long saber pointed into the distance towards the Heavenly Beast Forest.
"I never expected so many people would enter this world seeking the Heavenly Dao Tower, and each one has extraordinary origins. We'd better pick up our pace and strive to seize the Heavenly Dao Tower first!" A man in blue robes standing beside him said.
"Good, let's speed up!" The brawny man nodded.
Boom...
As his words fell, arcs of lightning crackled into existence on his body. Relying on the power of thunder, his speed instantly increased.
"Let us hasten as well," the blue-robed man said to a tall, lanky man beside him.
Then, arcs of lightning also crackled across the bodies of these two men, and their speed suddenly surged.
"Up ahead lies the Heavenly Beast Forest. We have arrived!" In another direction, a white-clothed youth stood with his hands clasped behind his back upon a swiftly flying long sword.
Three middle-aged men, each standing on their own flying sword, closely followed behind the youth. They gazed upon the white-clothed youth with deep respect.
"Heh heh... It's said this kid Ye Yunfei is one of the most powerful experts in this world. When I devour him later, he should provide me with quite a bit of energy." From another direction, a tall, ferocious-looking creature rolled towards the Heavenly Beast Forest, exuding a sky-soaring aura of viciousness.
Boom...
As one terrifying being after another arrived, the sky and earth in this area began to rumble faintly. In the high sky, fierce winds whipped and lightning flashed. Upon the ground, sand and stones flew about. The commotion was immense.
"Have they finally arrived?" Within the Heavenly Beast Forest, Ye Yunfei stood atop a mountain peak, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the numerous fearsome figures cutting through the distant high sky. He spoke softly.
Shangguan Han, the gray-robed elder, the Ice Demon, along with the two founding elders and two Elders of the Sacred Temple, as well as the Clan Leader and two founding elders of the Su Clan — a total of ten experts at the Dao Molding Realm — were gathered around Ye Yunfei. They all stared intently at the distant high sky, their expressions grave.
Those powerful beings from other realms were finally here!
Boom...
While still at an extreme distance, the energy unleashed by those powerful beings surged and pressed forward like a tide, rushing into the Heavenly Beast Forest.
One towering ancient tree after another was crushed and continuously exploded into fragments. Shattered wood and leaves filled the sky, swirling everywhere. Countless clods of earth and stones were blasted skyward.
Within moments, large swathes of forest collapsed, as if swept by a typhoon.
"Such terrifying energy aura!" Shangguan Han and the other Dao Molding Realm experts all took a step back, their faces somewhat pale.
"All these people have crossed over from advanced realms. Their life level is far higher than that of people in the Canghuang Realm; there is no comparison. Should you go to reside and cultivate in those advanced realms in the future, your achievements may not necessarily be lower than theirs," Ye Yunfei remarked casually.
"Reside and cultivate in those advanced realms? Where would we find such an opportunity?" Shangguan Han laughed bitterly.
For beings from a lower realm to go to an advanced one was fraught with extreme difficulty, practically impossible.
"If you desire it, there will surely be opportunities," Ye Yunfei said.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Han and the others all felt a surge of morale, gazing at Ye Yunfei with fervent eyes. There was hidden meaning in Ye Yunfei's words!
"As long as we follow Ye Yunfei, perhaps we truly will have a chance to reach more advanced worlds in the future!" Every Dao Molding Realm expert present secretly thought this.
Just at that moment.
Boom...
In the sky and earth, vast, terrifying waves of energy pressure surged forward, causing the entire Heavenly Beast Forest to shake violently.
Soul power after powerful streak of terror-inspiring auras, figures of beings charged into the Heavenly Beast Forest from different directions.
Twenty beings in total had arrived simultaneously!
Among these twenty were humans, beasts, demons, devils, and some unique races.
Each possessed a terrifying aura. Wherever they passed, the space around them continuously warped as if unable to bear their presence.
"So powerful! Every one of these experts is stronger than a late-stage Dao Molding Realm master! Any single one of them could sweep across our realm!" A founding elder of the Sacred Temple couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
At that moment, every person standing beside Ye Yunfei revealed expressions of fear.
"Ye Yunfei, show yourself!" The brawny man carrying the long saber roared out loud.
Boom...
His sonic waves transformed into rolling thunder, continuously detonating above the Heavenly Beast Forest, deafening the ears.
