“Exactly what power is targeting Heavenly Emperors?”
Ye Yunfei asked the Old Daoist.
“How would I know.
And even if I did, I wouldn’t say.
That involves one of the universe’s ultimate secrets. Ordinary beings can’t even speak of it; if they do, an invisible force will immediately sense it, bringing the calamity of having your soul scattered.”
The Old Daoist replied.
“What did Guhuang Great Emperor discuss with you before he departed to participate in the World-Destroying War?”
Ye Yunfei asked again.
He was deeply interested in that legendary war from ancient times. He had spent a considerable amount of time researching it, but gained very little. Now, he suddenly wondered if the ambush by the other three Heavenly Emperors was also related to that World-Destroying War.
“Nothing much, really.
Guhang suspected I was a spy, which is why he locked me up here.
He came to see me before setting off, hoping to learn from my mouth who was targeting peak experts like them from behind the scenes.”
The Old Daoist answered.
“Guhang Great Emperor suspected you were a spy?”
Ye Yunfei looked at the Old Daoist, asking.
“Exactly.
That’s precisely why he imprisoned me here.”
The Old Daoist nodded.
“You must know something about that World-Destroying War; otherwise, why would you try to persuade Guhuang Great Emperor not to participate?”
Ye Yunfei pressed.
“Young man, you are far too weak.
The World-Destroying War is not a matter you are qualified to comprehend.
I advise you not to concern yourself with it, or it will surely bring overwhelming disaster.”
The Old Daoist swept a faint glance at Ye Yunfei.
“I will definitely investigate the World-Destroying War thoroughly.”
Ye Yunfei stated.
“Suit yourself.
Anyway, I don’t wish to mention that World-Destroying War anymore.”
The Old Daoist shook his head, then closed his eyes and spoke no further.
“Let’s go.”
After some thought, Ye Yunfei said.
“You’re not going to extort him?”
Hun Lao was taken aback.
“He can endure the pain of the internal seal acting up. We can’t extort him.”
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
“I will come back to you regarding that World-Destroying War.”
Ye Yunfei said, looking at the Old Daoist.
Then, Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao walked out of the palace.
“Hu Miao, we’ll split these top-grade Nightmare Stones fifty-fifty.
Those dozens of demon beast cores should significantly boost your strength.
Make good use of your time and start closed-door cultivation.”
Ye Yunfei took out the top-grade Nightmare Stones obtained from the Yaojing, gave half to Hu Miao, and said. Hu Miao’s current strength was equivalent to the Dao Entry Realm in humans and was starting to fall behind.
“Alright.
Actually, during this time, my bloodline has shown faint signs of breaking through. These demon beast cores and Nightmare Stones can accelerate that breakthrough.”
Hu Miao took the Nightmare Stones, nodded, and then left to begin her closed-door cultivation.
“Uncle, if you need such things for cultivation, I can take you to find more.
There’s still plenty on the other half of the Canghuang Realm.”
The little girl suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yunfei and said to him.
“Not needed for now.”
Ye Yunfei said.
The twenty Other Realm experts slain by Suanni had left behind a large batch of cultivation resources, enough for Ye Yunfei to use for a period.
“Would you like the two halves of the Canghuang Realm to rejoin, forming a complete world again?”
Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
“The Canghuang Realm has already split in half… can it truly rejoin?”
The little girl was stunned and somewhat disbelieving.
“Of course it can.
Do you want it to?”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“I do! A complete Canghuang Realm would make me healthier and happier.
Uncle, can you really make the two halves rejoin?”
The little girl nodded and asked.
The splitting of the Canghuang Realm had already damaged the Canghuang Origin. Deep in this little girl’s subconscious, she naturally wished for the Canghuang Realm to rejoin and become a complete world once more.
“I can’t do it.
But you can.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Me?
I… I don’t seem to have that ability.”
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the little girl couldn’t help but be surprised.
“You can. Believe in yourself.
And I will teach you.”
Ye Yunfei smiled.
Ye Yunfei was very familiar with the spatial-temporal structure of worlds. He knew that if a world was damaged, as long as its World Origin remained, it could be repaired. Even a shattered world, provided the damage wasn’t too severe, could potentially be fixed by its World Origin.
The Canghuang Realm had merely split in two; the damage wasn’t actually very severe.
“Really?
That’s wonderful!
Uncle, teach me how to do it then!”
Upon hearing this, the little girl was overjoyed.
As the World Origin, she naturally wanted to see her world whole.
“I’ll impart an art to you now. Memorize it carefully.
If there’s anything you don’t understand, anything difficult to grasp, come ask me.
Once you’ve memorized it completely and gained understanding, you can begin merging the two halves of the Canghuang Realm into one.”
Ye Yunfei said.
He then projected a technique called the World Origin Scripture into the little girl’s sea of consciousness. This art was something Ye Yunfei had accidentally seen in an ancient text; it was suited for the will of a World Origin to cultivate! It was said that if a World Origin’s will cultivated this technique to a certain level, it could cause the entire world’s quality to ascend!
This was the first time Ye Yunfei was imparting this technique to a World Origin’s will since obtaining it.
“Alright, Uncle, I’ll start memorizing it right away!”
The little girl said happily.
“I plan to have the two halves of the split Canghuang Realm rejoin into one complete world.”
Ye Yunfei found the Grey-robed Elder and told him his intentions.
“Rejoin the two halves of the Canghuang Realm into a complete world?
Is that possible?”
The Grey-robed Elder was utterly stunned, unable to believe it.
“Of course it is.
As long as the Canghuang Origin acts personally, it’s not a difficult task.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“If the Canghuang Realm can become whole again, that would be wonderful!”
The Grey-robed Elder grew excited.
He knew Ye Yunfei possessed extraordinary methods. If Ye Yunfei said it could be done, it most likely could!
“It definitely can.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“I’ll begin closed-door cultivation for a while.”
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Shadow Tower, found a secluded spot, and started his cultivation.
First, he took out a large batch of top-grade Nightmare Stones, released the Soul Nourishing Tree, and began to refine and absorb them. The quantity of top-grade Nightmare Stones obtained from that Yaojing was vast; even after giving half to Hu Miao, the remaining half was still considerable.
“Time to break through to the Dao Entry Realm.”
After some thought, Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
Thus, Ye Yunfei also took out a massive amount of cultivation resources—crystal stones, herbs, medicinal pills, and the like—piling them around his body and began circulating the Nine-Yang Scripture.
Rumble…
Eight divine meridians appeared simultaneously within him, vast spiritual energies surging through them like eight great rivers.
Boom…
A sphere of light flew out from his dantian.
It was roughly the size of an adult’s head—this represented the third level of the Nine-Yang Scripture!
At the same time…
Beyond the boundary walls of the Canghuang Realm, beside the seven breached boundary openings, stood seven different groups of beings.
“Their soul lamps are all extinguished!
They actually perished inside? A low-level world, why were they able to fall there?”
At this moment, these seven groups discovered that for the beings who had entered the Canghuang Realm, their soul lamps were extinguished—meaning all those who entered the Canghuang Realm were dead!
