"A mere Heavenly God Palace doesn't frighten me."
Ye Yunfei spoke coldly.
Although the Heavenly God Palace was powerful, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, there were many major forces similar to it. Having once stood at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Worlds, Ye Yunfei naturally had no fear.
"Hmph! You truly are a brat who has no idea how high the sky is nor how thick the ground is! Our Heavenly God Palace has been passed down continuously from ancient times until now. Its profound heritage and foundation cannot be matched by many other powers in this world. Currently, our Heavenly God Palace rules a vast domain within the Primordial Continent, our ranks filled with countless experts, and our might shakes the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. To put it bluntly, a mere Canghuang Realm is even weaker than a fly to our Heavenly God Palace. If my true body were to arrive, a single palm strike would be sufficient to annihilate the entire Canghuang Realm."
The Palace Master's gaze was piercing, and he snorted as he spoke.
"So what? Do you dare to take action against the Canghuang Realm now? Although I don't know how you managed to evade the punishment of the Ancient Covenant this time, I presume you wouldn't dare to step into the Canghuang Realm again," Ye Yunfei replied, looking directly at the Palace Master, his tone indifferent.
"How do you know I wouldn't dare to enter the Canghuang Realm?"
The Palace Master's eyes sharpened, chaotic mist roiling around his body as an awe-inspiring energy pressure enveloped a large expanse of chaotic void.
"If you still dared to set foot in the Canghuang Realm, do you think you'd be standing here talking to me?" Ye Yunfei retorted.
"You...!" The Palace Master flared with anger, yet had no words to counter.
At this moment, the Palace Master's return to the outside of Canghuang Realm's barrier had disturbed many powerful figures, who began paying attention to the dialogue between the Palace Master and Ye Yunfei.
"That lad really has guts, daring to speak to Gu Feng in such a tone," many among the onlookers secretly marveled.
"Brat, I have actually come here this time intending to give you an opportunity. It all depends on whether you know how to treasure it. Although you were born into a lower-level world, your talent is quite excellent. I intend to recruit you to join our Heavenly God Palace, starting immediately as one of our inner court disciples. If you perform well in the future and are sufficiently monstrous in talent, there may even be a chance for you to become a core disciple of our Heavenly God Palace. At that point, not just within the Primordial Continent, but whichever world you go to among the Three Thousand Worlds, people will respect you to some degree—you'll be considered a figure of glory. Moreover, let alone core disciples, even the inner court disciples of our Heavenly God Palace, when walking the world, find few who dare to provoke them."
Gu Feng's attitude suddenly changed, his tone no longer as sharp as before.
"What? Gu Feng intends to recruit that kid into the Heavenly God Palace?" Hearing Gu Feng's words, many powerful figures were startled.
The Primordial Continent was one of the renowned and prestigious great worlds among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and the Heavenly God Palace was a major force with an incredibly long history, having stood for endless ages within the Primordial Continent. Countless exceptional young talents in this world dreamt day and night of joining the Heavenly God Palace to become its disciples. However, the Heavenly God Palace was notoriously strict and selective when recruiting disciples, meticulously filtering candidates based on criteria like talent, disposition, and even background. In short, any young person who managed to enter the Heavenly God Palace had undergone rigorous selection and was considered true geniuses! Yet now, Gu Feng actually planned to let someone from a lower-level world directly join.
"Let me join the Heavenly God Palace, and then hand over the Heavenly Dao Tower to you? Your real target is the Heavenly Dao Tower, isn't it? Think too much." Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
"Indeed, my goal is the Heavenly Dao Tower. But for you, this is also a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity. As someone from a lower-level world, being able to join our Heavenly God Palace is like a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, soaring to the heavens with a single bound. Brat, you're a smart person; you should understand this."
Gu Feng's expression darkened upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, but he still maintained his patience.
"Haha, Palace Master Gu, you've certainly made a fine plan. Young man, I am the sect master of the Samsara Sect from the Primordial Continent. I also intend to invite you to join our Samsara Sect. Our Samsara Sect is not the slightest bit weaker than the Heavenly God Palace. If you are willing to join our sect, I will immediately make you an inner court disciple, and moreover, I will allocate resources and focus on cultivating you because your talent is indeed excellent. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must hand the Heavenly Dao Tower over to me."
Right at this moment, a loud, hearty laugh rang out. A middle-aged man dressed in green robes arrived with his hands clasped behind his back, stepping upon the chaotic void. The man looked to be of a youthful age, but his pair of eyes were incomparably ancient. Within their pupils, suns, moons, and stars shifted, and endless epochs flowed past, appearing immensely profound.
"Qian Cangzi, you've come to join in on this commotion as well!" Gu Feng flew into a rage upon seeing this man arrive.
"Haha, Palace Master Gu, you jest. The Heavenly Dao Tower is a secret treasure left behind by the ancient Emperor, involving the secrets of attaining Emperorhood! For people like you and me who have spent endless years and poured infinite blood and sweat into cultivation, yet never managed to become an Emperor, it holds a fatal temptation!" Qian Cangzi laughed.
"Sect Master Qian makes a valid point. Young man, I am the Realm Master of the Netherworld. If you are willing to hand the Heavenly Dao Tower over to me, I will immediately take you in as my final disciple. As long as you perform brilliantly enough, you will have a chance to inherit my mantle and become the next Realm Master of the Netherworld in the future!"
Suddenly, an eerie voice sounded. Then, an inky-black creature walked over from the distant chaotic void. This dark being bore a strong resemblance to a human, but its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, and its head sported a pair of curved horns flickering with a strange, unsettling light. Its smile was bizarre and chilling.
"The Realm Master of the Netherworld must always be of the Tubo lineage. A mere human kid—can you make him the Realm Master of the Netherworld?" Gu Feng couldn't help but give a cold, mocking laugh.
"Hehe, that's easily solved. Our Tubo clan possesses a major bloodline transfer art. If this young man is willing, I can transplant the bloodline of our Tubo clan into his body. From then on, he would no longer be human, but instead become a member of our Tubo clan."
The dark creature spread its mouth in a grin.
"Young man, don't listen to his nonsense. The Tubo clan belongs to the underworld beings; their bloodline is utterly filthy. I am the Fifth Elder of the Demon Realm. If you offer the Heavenly Dao Tower to our Demon Realm, I will immediately pass our sect's core technique, the Heavenly Demon Great Technique, to you. From then on, you will be the Demonic Son of our Demon Realm!"
A being radiating immense demonic energy approached from afar. It was a mighty demon.
Afterward, powerful experts from several other major forces also arrived one after another, all seeking to recruit Ye Yunfei.
It could be said that within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, having so many major powers simultaneously rushing to recruit a person from a lower-level world was absolutely unprecedented!
For a while, the gazes of these powerful figures, one after another, fixed upon Ye Yunfei, watching to see how he would choose.
"It seems you're quite sought-after," Hun Lao, standing beside Ye Yunfei, couldn't help but comment with a wry smile.
"It's not me who's sought-after. It's the Heavenly Dao Tower that's sought-after."
Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
