"I should break through my cultivation realm,"
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Thus, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and began secluded cultivation.
He took out a huge pile of cultivation resources: Law Crystals, medicinal herbs, and spiritual pills. They were stacked into rolling hills of small mountains surrounding him.
Boom!
First, Ye Yunfei released the golden sphere representing the Third Sun from his dantian, directly absorbing the energy contained within those cultivation resources.
Then, he circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture. Eight divine veins simultaneously manifested within his body.
Boom!
Inside the eight divine veins, mighty, torrential spiritual power surged forth like eight great rivers.
Time flowed steadily on.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed inside the Phantom Tower.
"I can break through now!"
Six months later, on a certain day, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt the signs of a breakthrough and sharply opened his eyes.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei dashed out of the Phantom Tower.
Above the cultivation peak, massive Tribulation Clouds began to gather rapidly, forming a heavy, oppressive mass.
Boom!
The next moment, rolling thunderbolts descended as the Lightning Tribulation began.
When ordinary martial artists underwent tribulation, they would employ various means, techniques, and artifacts to combat the falling lightning.
But Ye Yunfei stood completely still amidst the rolling thunderbolts. He didn't dodge or evade, allowing the lightning from on high to strike his body at will.
One bolt after another slammed into Ye Yunfei's body, roaring and cracking, sending up plumes of black smoke.
Yet, it caused absolutely no damage to his body—not even a single wound!
Having cultivated the Armorwood Blue Emperor Body to its perfect stage, Ye Yunfei's physique was terrifyingly robust. These lightning bolts simply couldn't harm him.
By now, many from Ziwei Sect had long since arrived nearby to watch the spectacle. Seeing Ye Yunfei's method of undergoing the Tribulation, they gaped in astonishment.
"Su Fei's body is incredibly solid! This lightning can't hurt him in the slightest!
I'm afraid even the bodily toughness of us Destiny Realm experts pales in comparison to his!
How on earth did he forge his body to be this resilient?"
a Elder couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.
"There are too many astonishing things about Su Fei. We'll likely grow numb to it all eventually,"
Sect Leader Liu said with a bitter laugh.
"Tell me, what exactly is Su Fei's background?"
a Elder suddenly asked.
"Unclear.
Although he entered our Ziwei Sect not long ago, he's terrifyingly familiar with everything about the sect—more so than us old-timers!
He can activate the dharma decree left behind by the Founder. He can uncover Elder Ning from the Puppet Hall. He can locate the ancient Teaching Platform of our Ziwei Sect. He even understands the true essence of our sect's various techniques and martial arts!
And yet, we know nothing about him."
the Grand Elder shook his head as he spoke.
"We don't need to probe into Su Fei's origins.
We only need to know that Su Fei is the hope of our Ziwei Sect's resurgence!
This, I firmly believe!
Because in the short time Su Fei has been with our sect, he has already brought about monumental changes!"
Sect Leader Liu thought for a moment before replying.
"Agreed!"
the other Elders all nodded.
The transformations Ye Yunfei had brought to Ziwei Sect were witnessed by all.
Now, Ye Yunfei's Lightning Tribulation finally concluded.
"Dao Molding Realm middle stage,"
Ye Yunfei stood mid-air and murmured.
"I'll break through to the Dao Transformation Realm in one go,"
Ye Yunfei thought after a moment.
Thus, Ye Yunfei flashed and headed towards his own cultivation chamber.
"Su Fei..."
Sect Leader Liu, accompanied by eleven Elders, was walking towards Ye Yunfei.
"Sect Leader, Elders, I must continue my secluded cultivation. We can discuss any matters later,"
Ye Yunfei said before returning to his cultivation chamber.
Sect Leader Liu and the Elders could only let him be.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei once again took out a large batch of cultivation resources and piled them around his body.
The number of cultivation resources within Ancient Sage Gu Yao's spatial rings was enormous. Ye Yunfei's current wealth was frighteningly vast, allowing him to squander resources freely!
"Kid, when will you have time to refine some Emblem-grade and Soul-grade pills for me to eat so I can increase my power?
I've been carrying you around escaping all this time. If you don't properly reward me, I might run out of steam next time,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright. After I finish this round of secluded cultivation, I'll refine pills for you,"
Ye Yunfei laughed.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's help to Ye Yunfei was indeed immense, especially when escape was needed. Having the silkworm utilize its spatial talent to flee was the optimal choice.
Next, Ye Yunfei once again entered secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower, this time for half a year.
Six months later, Ye Yunfei went through another Lightning Tribulation and successfully broke through.
"Dao Transformation Realm!"
After the tribulation concluded, Ye Yunfei stood high in the sky, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"The Third Sun of the Nine-Yang Scripture now has a diameter of three thousand meters!
I can now preliminarily manifest the third sun's Phenomenon—Three Suns Bring Peace and Prosperity!"
Ye Yunfei sensed the golden sphere representing the third sun in his dantian and mused to himself.
Starting from the Second Sun, each successive level of the Nine-Yang Scripture possessed a unique Phenomenon.
The Phenomenon of the Ninth Yang was Nine-Yang Connecting the Heavens—nine suns appearing together could suppress the Three Thousand Great and Small Worlds!
"Although my current cultivation is only at the initial stage of the Dao Transformation Realm, I can already battle early-stage or even middle-stage Destiny Realm opponents!"
Ye Yunfei stated with confidence.
For Ye Yunfei, crossing a major realm to fight and defeat enemies was a relatively easy feat.
Next, Ye Yunfei re-entered the Phantom Tower and spent several days refining a large batch of Emblem-grade and Void-grade pills for the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"This is more like it.
After I finish these pills, I need to cultivate in seclusion for a while too,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was very satisfied upon receiving the pills. It entered the Phantom Tower, found a corner, and began munching on them.
Ye Yunfei entered the first floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower and arrived at the place where the Ice Demon was in secluded cultivation.
It was a mountain peak. The entire peak was now blanketed under a thick layer of ice, with swirling snowflakes filling the air.
A terrifying chill of Ice and Snow Laws washed over him; even Ye Yunfei gave a slight shiver.
The Ice Demon sat cross-legged atop the peak, his body long since covered in ice and snow, appearing like an ice sculpture.
"He's about to break through,"
Hun Lao arrived beside Ye Yunfei and said.
"Yes,"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"That Ancient Sage Gu Yao hasn't tried deducing your location again lately.
You can rest easy now,"
Hun Lao said.
"He was injured by the Heavenly God Palace Master. He's most likely found a place to hide and recover.
For now, he won't come looking for me,"
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Once the Ice Demon truly fuses with this Ice Toad Treasure Pearl and erases the aura Gu Yao left on it, Gu Yao will no longer be able to sense the pearl in the future.
I've placed those thirty-two spatial rings inside the Heavenly Dao Tower. You conceal their auras. I'll only come in to retrieve them when I need them."
Ye Yunfei explained.
"Very well,"
Hun Lao nodded.
"However, your strength is still too weak.
If you want to make your way on this Primordial Continent, you must seize the time to grow stronger, faster."
Hun Lao added.
"True. I must improve my strength quickly,"
Ye Yunfei nodded. This was something he keenly understood himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei left the Heavenly Dao Tower and found Sect Leader Liu.
"Sect Leader Liu, assemble a force. I am going to annihilate the Shengyuan Sect and Qianyang Sect."
Ye Yunfei stated directly.
"What?
Su Fei, the strength of Shengyuan Sect and Qianyang Sect is not negligible. They can't just be wiped out at a whim. We should deliberate carefully and take the long view, making thorough preparations before taking action,"
Sect Leader Liu was startled and replied.
