Although the Heavenly God Palace is powerful, we of the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race are not to be bullied so easily. If they push us too far, we might as well fight them to the bitter end.'
Vermilion Bird Demon King snorted coldly as he spoke.
Right at that moment.
"Ye Yunfei has sent me a message!"
Vermilion Bird Demon King's expression moved as he took out a communication jade slip and focused his perception on it.
"Head in that direction."
Vermilion Bird Demon King thought for a moment and then gave the order aloud.
A Great Demon was piloting the flying ship; upon hearing the Demon King's words, he immediately changed course.
Half an hour later.
The ship arrived at a certain location in the high sky.
"We're here."
Vermilion Bird Demon King called out and ordered the ship to stop.
"Strange. Didn't Su Fei say he'd wait for us here? Where is he?"
Vermilion Bird Demon King extended his Soul Power to perceive the surroundings, speaking with puzzlement.
"Demon King, I am deep in spatial layers. Please meet me there for a private word."
At that very moment, Vermilion Bird Demon King suddenly received a sound transmission from Ye Yunfei.
"Alright."
Vermilion Bird Demon King thought briefly, nodded in agreement, gave Golden Roc Demon King a few instructions, and then stepped out of the flying ship, traversing into the deep layers of space.
Ye Yunfei was indeed already waiting there.
"Young Master Su, you must have something you wish to say to me."
Vermilion Bird Demon King asked curiously.
"I wish to give you something."
Ye Yunfei flicked a finger, and a space ring flew out, landing before Vermilion Bird Demon King.
"This is..."
Vermilion Bird Demon King immediately directed his Soul Power into the ring, and an expression of shock instantly appeared on his face.
"Demon King, please keep this matter confidential," Ye Yunfei immediately said.
"Young Master Su, this item is far too precious. Out of the blue, I cannot possibly accept it," Vermilion Bird Demon King hesitated slightly.
"Please accept it, Demon King. We explored for treasure together back then; I would not hog it all. Moreover, I can tell you truly need it. Well, I must go now."
Ye Yunfei smiled, then turned and left.
"Young Master Su, you are correct. I do indeed need it very much. Very well, I shall accept it. This great kindness of yours, Young Master Su, will be remembered by our Eastern Wasteland Demon Race!"
Vermilion Bird Demon King watched Ye Yunfei's receding back, holding the ring in his hand as he spoke aloud.
This space ring contained a Divine Crystal!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yunfei had already moved far away, disappearing from sight.
Vermilion Bird Demon King stepped out from the spatial depths and returned to the flying ship.
Golden Roc Demon King's gaze rested on Vermilion Bird Demon King, carrying a trace of expectation. In truth, he had already guessed what had happened.
"Let's go! Let us hurry to the Heavenly Demon Woods immediately!"
Facing Golden Roc Demon King's gaze, Vermilion Bird Demon King took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart before exhaling slowly and speaking.
"Good! To the Heavenly Demon Woods, haha!"
Golden Roc Demon King understood instantly and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Remember, Young Master Su is a benefactor of our Eastern Wasteland Demon Race!"
Vermilion Bird Demon King said firmly.
"Indeed! This young man values friendship and justice. He is truly remarkable, worthy of our interaction. From now on, we shall associate with him as companions of equal standing," Golden Roc Demon King declared.
"Agreed."
Vermilion Bird Demon King nodded.
Several days later, Ye Yunfei finally left the Northern Frost Ancient Mining Area and piloted his flying boat back in the direction of Yan Kingdom.
"The number of Law Crystals harvested this time is immense. I'll use a portion for cultivation."
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower, took out a portion of the Law Crystals, arranged them around his body, and began cultivating.
Though it was only a portion, the quantity was still astonishingly large.
That was because the number of Law Crystals harvested in the ancient mining area was simply enormous!
"First, let's elevate my realm a bit."
Ye Yunfei spoke. Thus, he circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture. The eight Primordial Veins within his body surfaced simultaneously, erupting with astonishing suction force, beginning to absorb the energy contained within the surrounding Law Crystals.
Boom...
The golden sphere representing the Third Yang within Ye Yunfei's Dantian rushed out, hovering above his head and radiating rolling golden light. It, too, began absorbing the energy contained within the Law Crystals around him.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed within the Phantom Tower.
In this one year, Ye Yunfei broke through to the Destiny Realm Later Stage!
"With my current spiritual power cultivation alone, I can already battle against mid-stage Heavenly Ocean Realm, or even Heavenly Ocean Realm Perfection cultivators!"
Ye Yunfei sensed the intensity of the spiritual power within his body and said softly.
"Next, I shall focus on cultivating the Nine-Yang Scripture properly!"
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei concentrated wholeheartedly on cultivating the Nine-Yang Scripture.
The golden sphere of light representing the Third Yang grew continuously larger.
Unbeknownst to him, another year passed within the Phantom Tower!
The diameter of the golden sphere representing the Third Yang had already reached seven kilometers!
Each golden sphere of the Nine-Yang Scripture, when its diameter expands to nine kilometers, signifies that it has truly reached the Grand Perfection state.
"The phenomena unleashed by 'Three Yangs Bring Prosperity' should now be able to affect Fate Realm experts."
Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
"The remaining time shall be used to cultivate the Nine Palace Totem Wheels."
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Nine Palace Totem Wheels, focusing first on the Glutton.
About ten days later.
"Master, we've returned to Ziwei Sect!"
In the middle of his cultivation, Ye Yunfei suddenly received Hu Miao's sound transmission.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei stopped cultivating and emerged from the Phantom Tower. Sure enough, the green flying boat had already arrived before the headquarters of Ziwei Sect.
Ye Yunfei stored away the green flying boat and entered the headquarters.
"Big Senior Brother Su Fei is back!"
"Greetings, Big Senior Brother!"
Within the headquarters, every disciple who saw Ye Yunfei was extremely excited, rushing forward respectfully to greet him, looking at him with worshipful gazes.
Ye Yunfei's prestige within Ziwei Sect had practically reached its peak by now.
Even the high-level figures of the sect could not compare!
One could say that Ye Yunfei had become the spiritual pillar of nearly every disciple in Ziwei Sect.
"Su Fei, you have returned!"
Sect Leader Liu and other high-ranking members, upon hearing of Ye Yunfei's return, immediately came to see him.
"How has Ziwei Sect been these past days?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Exceedingly well! Ziwei Sect has already entered a period of rapid development. Besides the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race, the Four Directions Trading House, and the Great Thunderclap Monastery, many second and third-tier forces have also proactively sought to build relations with us.
Also, the Alchemy Hall has been rebuilt, with a group of alchemists from the Purple Dan Valley personally overseeing operations. They produce many pills daily.
The Puppet Hall, under Elder Ning's leadership, has also crafted a large number of puppets, directly multiplying our Ziwei Sect's strength several-fold."
Sect Leader Liu excitedly recounted all the changes within Ziwei Sect during this period.
"Furthermore, we've recruited a group of new disciples recently. I personally oversaw their aptitude tests, and these new disciples have quite decent talent," Sect Leader Liu added.
"Hmm, Ziwei Sect truly does need to expand its scale."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Take these items and use them as cultivation resources for our Ziwei Sect."
Ye Yunfei flicked his fingers, and dozens of space rings landed before Sect Leader Liu. Each space ring was brimming with Law Crystals; added together, their quantity was staggering.
