"Okay, Uncle, I'll listen to you," the little girl answered weakly.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei brought the little girl back to the Tian Beast Forest of Xuanhuang Star.
The entire Tian Beast Forest had been obliterated. Forget trees, not even half a blade of grass remained. All that was left on the earth was a gigantic concave crater.
That Palace Master's strength was too formidable. A casual palm strike from him spelled utter catastrophe for this land.
Ye Yunfei teleported all the members of Qingyun Palace and the Su Clan out.
Seeing the Qingyun Palace headquarters reduced to such a state, each member felt a mix of grief and fury.
The Six Bandits were especially incensed, roaring repeatedly and clamoring to find that Palace Master and risk their lives for vengeance.
"From now on, everyone can focus on peacefully rebuilding the Qingyun Palace headquarters. As for revenge... leave that to me," Ye Yunfei said with a sigh, his voice ringing clear.
Given the current situation, the Canghuang Realm should be safe now. The Ancient Covenant had made its move, an event that probably shook the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Those powerful experts likely wouldn't dare to enter the Canghuang Realm again.
"Palace Master Ye, who exactly are our enemies?" At this moment, the Six Bandits, along with the other higher-ups of Qingyun Palace and the Su Clan leaders, all gathered before Ye Yunfei. Their eyes were bloodshot, burning with rage.
"Our enemies come from those advanced worlds outside," Ye Yunfei said quietly, sighing again.
Advanced worlds outside!
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the higher-ups of Qingyun Palace and the Su Clan fell silent for a moment. Though they were seething with anger, they also understood that if the enemies came from those advanced worlds, with their strength, seeking revenge would probably be impossible forever.
"Everyone should focus on rebuilding our home. Our Canghuang Realm is safe now. Those powerful enemies from outside won't be coming in anymore," Ye Yunfei stated.
"These resources are specifically for rebuilding the Qingyun Palace headquarters." With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei produced several hundred spatial rings that landed in front of Qingyun Palace's senior members.
Following this, under the lead of its higher-ups, Qingyun Palace's members began the work of reconstructing the headquarters. Ye Tianpeng and his wife, Su Qingluo, Wu Heishan, and the others all participated actively, bustling with activity on the former site of the Tian Beast Forest.
The Geomancer personally employed high-level Earth Sect mantras from the principles of Earth Reading, gathering the land's geomorphic energy to recreate a forest anew. His skill in Earth Reading was exceedingly high; he was already capable of setting up formations amidst the starry skies. Creating a forest on land was extremely simple for him. Therefore, with the Geomancer's help, rebuilding the Qingyun Palace headquarters wouldn't be difficult at all.
"Palace Master Ye, we shall also return to rebuild our headquarters," the Su Clan's Patriarch said, arriving before Ye Yunfei with his clan's senior members.
"Go ahead. These resources are for your Su Clan's use." Ye Yunfei waved his hand again, producing several hundred more spatial rings that landed in front of the Su Clan Patriarch.
"Thank you, Palace Master Ye!" The Su Clan Patriarch accepted the spatial rings, then led his clansmen away.
"Your spirits seem low. Are you alright?" At this time, Su Qingluo walked over, her beautiful eyes gazing at Ye Yunfei.
"I'm fine," Ye Yunfei smiled slightly.
"Our Qingyun Palace suffered severe losses this time, but it's finally over. I believe that soon, after our headquarters are rebuilt, Qingyun Palace will develop rapidly once again," Su Qingluo consoled him.
"I know. I'm not worried about Qingyun Palace. The crisis in Canghuang Realm is temporarily over; Qingyun Palace can now develop in peace. It's just... I suddenly feel my strength is too weak. When facing formidable enemies, I feel... falling short. The damage to the Canghuang Realm this time was immense, yet I lacked the ability to protect it," Ye Yunfei said with a sigh.
With Su Qingluo, Ye Yunfei had nothing to hide, directly expressing his true feelings.
"Was the damage to Canghuang Realm severe?" Su Qingluo frowned.
During this period, Qingyun Palace and Su Clan members had remained within the Phantom Void Tower, so Su Qingluo wasn't clear about what exactly had transpired within the Canghuang Realm.
"Look." Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and images flickered into existence in the space before them, playing out one after another.
These scenes depicted the Lord of the Heavenly God Palace frenziedly ravaging the Canghuang Realm. In these images, the Palace Master's terrifyingly colossal form smashed directly through one galaxy after another, exploding star after star, massacring countless living beings.
Then, even more powerful figures entered the Canghuang Realm. After entering, these powerhouses cared not a whit for the lives within the realm. They neither avoided nor dodged celestial bodies in their path, crashing straight through them, even actively taking action to shatter them with a single palm.
"These are the powerhouses from the advanced worlds outside?" Su Qingluo stared at these beings, each exuding overwhelming auras, easily capable of shattering stars and splitting the void. She was profoundly shaken.
This was her first time witnessing powerhouses from the advanced worlds outside. Their strength far exceeded the wildest imagination of any martial artist within the Canghuang Realm!
"So... those from the advanced worlds outside are terrifying to this extent?" Finally, Su Qingluo took a deep breath, suppressing the shock within her heart. Instead, a glint of steadfast resolve surfaced on her exquisite face.
"However, I believe in you. Someday, you will be able to stand up to them! I've watched you progress step by step from Yuanyue City to where you are now, creating miracles time and again. So, I believe the man Su Qingluo has chosen will never be inferior to them!" Su Qingluo took Ye Yunfei's hand. Her beautiful eyes met his as she spoke slowly.
"Qingluo, thank you," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"I'm preparing to go into seclusion for cultivation. I suddenly sensed a breakthrough opportunity. I should be able to break through soon," Su Qingluo said.
"Alright. Go ahead," Ye Yunfei smiled.
Ye Yunfei could tell that Su Qingluo, having witnessed the scenes of those powerhouses destroying the starry sky, had her state stimulated, ready for a breakthrough.
"Such a stubborn girl," Ye Yunfei smiled, unable to help himself, as he watched Su Qingluo's lovely figure leave.
"Let's go, we should look around a bit," Ye Yunfei said, taking the little girl's hand. With a step, he departed from the Xuanhuang Star system, emerging into the starry sky to wander about.
Many places within the Canghuang Realm's starry void appeared tattered and broken. Quite a few galaxies had vanished permanently.
"We pay our respects to Palace Master Ye!" At this time, many experts from powerful forces within the Canghuang Realm were also observing the void. Seeing Ye Yunfei, they were startled and hurried forward to pay homage.
By now, every force and every expert within the entire Canghuang Realm understood clearly: Ye Yunfei was the true, undisputed number one expert of the Canghuang Realm!
"The Canghuang Realm needs a good period of recuperation. From this moment onward, for a hundred years, no large-scale conflicts are permitted between any forces in the Canghuang Realm. Otherwise, I, Ye Yunfei, will personally deliver punishment."
Ye Yunfei suddenly channeled his energy and projected his voice, announcing clearly. Amplified by the Canghuang Primordial energy, his voice rolled forth within the Canghuang Realm, practically spreading to every corner, resonating and echoing.
"We obey Palace Master Ye's decree!" The experts who had come to pay homage to Ye Yunfei hurriedly answered in unison.
"Good. Everyone may return now." Ye Yunfei waved his hand, took the little girl's hand, stepped forward, and vanished.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei found a remote location in the starry void.
"Next, you will stay here, cultivating the World Origin Technique I taught you earlier and the methods passed down by Grandpa Tree. At the same time, I'll guide you on how to gradually repair the damaged spatial fabric within the Canghuang Realm," Ye Yunfei instructed the little girl.
"Okay," the little girl nodded obediently.
Following this, Ye Yunfei set up a large-scale illusion array, concealing a small portion of the starry sky.
Then, Ye Yunfei, the little girl, and Hun Lao stayed within this section of the void.
Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao personally guided the little girl on how to repair the Canghuang Realm. As a former Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei was extremely familiar with the spatial-temporal structure of a world. Hun Lao, possessing the racial memories of the Primordial World Tree, had an even more profound and unique understanding of worlds.
Under the guidance of Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao, the little girl began to use the Canghuang Realm's origin energy step by step to repair its damaged spatial fabric, including the breaches torn open in the Realm Barrier, which slowly mended.
By this time, peace had returned to the Canghuang Realm. The decree personally issued by Ye Yunfei spread throughout the cosmic void, and every force avoided conflict with others. Among the various forces, a state of harmony prevailed.
"Remember, this is a decree personally issued by the Master of Canghuang. No one may violate it!" The leadership of each force sternly cautioned their members, directly addressing Ye Yunfei as 'Master of Canghuang'.
Gradually, the title 'Master of Canghuang' began to be recognized by the various factions and martial artists. Thus, throughout the Canghuang Realm, everyone knew: Ye Yunfei was the Master of Canghuang!
Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, each faction, each galaxy, each star system, each celestial body began recuperating and steadily developing.
Unconsciously, three years passed.
"Uncle! All the breaches in the Realm Barrier have been repaired!" one day, the little girl exclaimed joyfully.
"Yes. Many spatial rifts within the Canghuang Realm have also been mended. Before long, the Canghuang Realm will be fully restored," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Just then.
Rumble...
Suddenly, the entire Canghuang Realm trembled violently.
"What is it? Could it be that those outsiders are not afraid of death and want to enter the Canghuang Realm again?" Hun Lao's expression changed.
"No. It's a disturbance coming from the Heaven Burial Tomb." Grasping the little girl's hand, Ye Yunfei immediately discerned the source of that tremor.
"Could it be a commotion caused by the master of that tomb within the Heaven Burial Tomb?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
Ye Yunfei had already roughly surmised the master of that tomb's strength! Even if the true body of the Heavenly God Palace's Lord were to come, he would likely be no match!
Right at that moment.
Rumble...
Another powerful wave of tremoring energy arrived.
Again, it came from the Heaven Burial Tomb!
"Let's go. We'll go check it out." Ye Yunfei instantly teleported away with the little girl and Hun Lao.
