"Su Fei, why are you so confident?
You must know, it's not just the Zhao Family; major factions like the Beast Taming Sect and the Cangyan Sacred Sect will also send people to cause trouble for Ziwei Sect and you.
Even if you can summon that giant hand like last time, it might not be enough to deal with so many forces, right?"
Ji Yue was a bit curious.
"Su Fei, this is no joke. You mustn't underestimate these major factions in the Eastern Barrens, especially the Cangyan Sacred Sect; they're practically the strongest force in our Eastern Barrens.
These major factions can casually send out a force capable of wiping out many second and third-tier powers in the Eastern Barrens.
Su Fei, I think you should immediately send someone to request assistance from the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race and the Four Directions Trading House.
If the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race and the Four Directions Trading House are willing to help, perhaps Ziwei Sect and you can safely get through the current predicament."
Ji Yan couldn't help but remind him as well.
"Our Ziwei Sect doesn't need to beg anyone for help.
Don't worry. Although those major factions are powerful, our Ziwei Sect is certainly not easy to bully."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
"Alright, I'm preparing to go into seclusion.
Senior Sister Ji Yue, when I have time next, I'll properly explain the essence of our Ziwei Sect's various techniques and martial skills to you.
You can also go seek guidance from Sect Leader Liu and the other elders."
Ye Yunfei said to Ji Yue.
Then Ye Yunfei entered his cultivation cave dwelling.
"Does Ziwei Sect really have the strength to withstand a joint attack from those several major factions?
Why is Su Fei so confident?"
Ji Yan frowned slightly, her elegant brows furrowing as she looked at Ji Yue.
"I don't know either.
This guy is always like this, acting all mysterious, refusing to answer anything you ask him."
Ji Yue shook her head.
Inside the secret chamber, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei took out a spatial ring and moved a pool of milky-white spiritual milk from it.
Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk!
This Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk was a gift to Ye Yunfei from the Stone-born Saint Spirit near Lancheng City.
At that time, Ye Yunfei had set up a large perpetual geomancy formation to help that Stone-born Saint Spirit nourish its new body—the Taixu Heaven Vein Stone.
As a token of gratitude, the Stone-born Saint Spirit gifted Ye Yunfei a large batch of precious treasures.
This pool of Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk was one of them!
Using Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk for body tempering could increase the toughness of the physical body; using it for qi refinement could enhance the strength of spiritual power. It was incredibly precious.
"Let's use a portion for body tempering first."
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei drew over a portion of the Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk, covering his body, and began to absorb it.
Several days later.
"Not bad. After fusing this portion of Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk, my body has become even more resilient.
Combined with my Greenwood Emperor Body and Mystic Magnet Glass Body, my physical body is already quite tough. No matter who it is, killing me won't be that easy.
Moreover, my physical strength has increased again slightly, reaching at least 45 draconic forces!"
Ye Yunfei fused a portion of the Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk into his body, felt its increased resilience, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
The main effect of a treasure like Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk was to enhance the body's resilience; its effect on boosting physical strength wasn't great, so it had only increased his strength by five draconic forces.
"Next, fuse another portion into my spiritual energy to enhance the strength of my spiritual power."
Ye Yunfei drew over another portion of the Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk and began fusing it into his spiritual energy.
The final remaining portion of Mysterious Jade Stone Marrow Milk was stored back into the spatial ring by Ye Yunfei for future use.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, over half a month passed within the Phantom Tower.
"The strength of my spiritual power has increased significantly.
Although I'm only at the early Destiny Realm, it's at least equivalent to the late Heavenly Sea Realm!"
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
A full major realm above his own!
Such spiritual power strength was simply astonishing!
"Next, cultivate the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel for a bit.
I've harvested quite a few cultivation resources lately; it's time to digest a portion."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then took out piles of resources, stacking them around him. There were spirit stones, herbs, elixirs, and various other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Roar...
The Glutton stepped out from behind Ye Yunfei and began absorbing the resources piled around.
In the blink of an eye, two or three months passed inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei cultivated all nine of his divine beasts, with each beast's combat power greatly enhanced.
His trip to Lancheng City some time ago had been immensely rewarding.
That Stone-born Saint Spirit had gifted a batch of wealth. He had harvested tens of millions of Law Crystals at the Four Directions Trading House's stone gambling field, and later, the Great Thunderclap Monastery's Zen Master Tianlei had gifted him a large amount of treasure.
So, Ye Yunfei was now practically rolling in wealth!
"The forces from the Zhao Family and those other factions should be arriving soon."
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
"There's still a bit of time. Let's enhance my Soul Power a bit."
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
The next moment, a thumb-sized jade-green lotus appeared in front of him, glowing with brilliant green light and emitting an exotic fragrance.
Jade Soul Lotus!
This Jade Soul Lotus was something Ye Yunfei had cut from a gambling stone at the Four Directions Trading House's stone gambling field.
The Jade Soul Lotus contained extremely profound soul-related Laws, which could be used to strengthen the Soul Body and enhance Soul Power.
Whoosh...
The Soul Tree flew out from Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, hovering above the Jade Soul Lotus, and began absorbing the Laws and energy contained within.
Unconsciously, another ten days passed.
Ten days later.
The entire Jade Soul Lotus had been completely absorbed and disappeared.
Ye Yunfei found that his Soul Body was now at least two to three times more resilient than before, while his Soul Power had also skyrocketed!
"My current Soul Power level is at least equivalent to mid Heavenly Position Realm, perhaps even late-stage!"
Ye Yunfei assessed his own Soul Power and thought inwardly.
It could be said that with Ye Yunfei's current overall strength, he could easily kill any Heavenly Sea Realm opponent and engage in grand battles with Heavenly Position Realm experts!
"Su Fei, we just received news! A large force has entered Yan Country and is heading towards our Ziwei Sect headquarters!"
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received an urgent sound transmission from Sect Leader Liu.
"They've finally come, huh."
Ye Yunfei ended his cultivation, slowly stood up, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Big Ice, let's go. We're going out, preparing to slay the enemy!"
Ye Yunfei brought the Ice Demon out from the Phantom Tower via teleportation, then exited the secret chamber, soaring into the air. He soon arrived at Ziwei Sect's meeting hall.
"Su Fei!"
At this time, Sect Leader Liu and the other high-ranking members were extremely anxious, discussing strategies.
However, no matter how they discussed, they had little confidence.
Only now, upon seeing Ye Yunfei appear, did they breathe a sigh of relief, feeling some sense of security in their hearts.
"Su Fei, roughly half a day from now, the enemy will arrive here!"
Sect Leader Liu said to Ye Yunfei.
"Excellent. I've been waiting for them for a very long time."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
