"Is there any news of Dugu Huan or Du Fan?"
After discussing matters with Elder Xuangui, Ye Yunfei once again sought out Sect Leader Liu to ask.
Since Dugu Huan and Du Fan left the Ziwei Sect to gain experience in the outside world, they had never returned, and there had been no news of them.
These two were both good friends of Ye Yunfei, so he naturally cared about their whereabouts.
"There's still no news about those two for the moment, but I have already ordered a search for their whereabouts," Sect Leader Liu replied.
"Alright. As for the people of Canghuang Peak, if possible, the sect can afford them some extra consideration."
The people who came out from the Canghuang Realm were all gathered on a large mountain within the Ziwei Sect's headquarters, which they had named Canghuang Peak.
"I understand," Sect Leader Liu nodded.
"Please have someone deliver these jade slips for me." Ye Yunfei took out a batch of jade slips for Sect Leader Liu to send people to deliver respectively to the Old Ancestor of the Monster Race, Lv Yugang of the Four Directions Trading House, Zen Master Tianlei of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, and others, informing them that he was leaving the Eastern Barrens and heading to the Central Divine Land.
After that, Ye Yunfei quietly left the headquarters. Sitting in the green flying boat, he set off in the direction of the Central Divine Land.
The Central Divine Land was the central region of the Primordial Continent and also the region with the greatest overall strength.
The green flying boat sailed through the skies above the Eastern Barrens' land. Hu Miao sat cross-legged inside the boat, controlling its progress. Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, entered the Phantom Tower to cultivate in seclusion.
"The Central Divine Land is teeming with experts. I must improve my strength a bit," Ye Yunfei said to himself.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had been using the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree to continuously absorb large amounts of star energy, converting it into spiritual power. This caused the quantity of spiritual power within Ye Yunfei's body to swell dramatically in a short time, and he faintly sensed the opportunity for a realm breakthrough.
"Let's attempt a realm breakthrough first," Ye Yunfei said to himself, sitting down cross-legged.
Rustle...
The Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree manifested beside his body, its crown spreading open, reaching towards the heavens and standing firm on the earth. Its roots stretched out, embedding themselves deep into time and space, extending into unknown spaces to absorb star energy.
Moments later, a massive flow of star energy was transmitted incessantly along the roots into Ye Yunfei's body.
"Worthy of being ranked among the Twelve Treasure Trees. With this Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree, my cultivation no longer needs to rely on spirit stones for support," Ye Yunfei thought with great satisfaction, smiling slightly.
Next, Ye Yunfei began to circulate the Nine-Yang Scripture. The eight divine meridians within his body also manifested.
A year later, within the Phantom Tower...
"I'm about to break through!"
Ye Yunfei, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He emerged from the Phantom Tower, found a secluded spot nearby, and began to undergo the Lightning Tribulation.
After completing the tribulation, Ye Yunfei broke through to the early Dao Yuan realm!
Then, he returned to the Phantom Tower to continue his secluded cultivation.
Another year passed.
Once again, Ye Yunfei sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough. So, he left the Phantom Tower again to undergo tribulation.
After completing the second tribulation, Ye Yunfei broke through to the middle Dao Yuan realm!
"The intensity of my spiritual power now is equivalent to the late or even the peak of the Hunyuan realm!" Ye Yunfei assessed the strength of the spiritual power within his body and murmured to himself.
"Let's also push the Nine-Yang Scripture to a higher level."
Ye Yunfei took out a large amount of cultivation resources, piled them around himself, and continued to cultivate the Nine-Yang Scripture.
This time, Ye Yunfei was cultivating the fifth level of the Nine-Yang Scripture!
The Nine-Yang Scripture had a total of nine levels, with each yang representing one level.
After cultivating to the Ninth Yang, there was one final grand state called Nine-Nine Return to One, which involved fusing the nine golden spheres into a single light sphere. At that point, with the Nine Yangs returning to One, only one golden sphere would remain, representing the perfected state of the Nine-Yang Scripture.
In other words, the Nine-Yang Scripture actually had ten levels in total. Ye Yunfei was now beginning to cultivate the fifth level.
Swoosh!
A small point of light flew out from Ye Yunfei's dantian, erupting with astonishing suction force and beginning to absorb the energy from the resources piled around him.
This point of light represented the Fifth Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture.
Rustle...
The Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree behind Ye Yunfei swayed gently, its roots embedded deep in time and space continuously transporting massive amounts of star energy into Ye Yunfei's body.
As the absorbed energy grew, the light sphere representing the Fifth Yang began to increase in volume.
The aura of energy radiating from Ye Yunfei's body also continuously climbed.
No one knew how much time had passed.
At a certain moment...
"Finally, the Fifth Yang has reached perfection!" Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
The diameter of the golden sphere above his head had already reached nine thousand meters!
Roar! Roar...
At Ye Yunfei's thought, the five golden spheres representing the five yangs simultaneously rose. They then transformed into five-colored colossal dragons: a Golden Dragon, a White Dragon, a Black Dragon, a Yellow Dragon, and a Blue-Green Dragon.
These five colors represented the principle of the Five Elements!
"I can now unleash the fifth phenomenon of the Nine-Yang Scripture: Five Dragons Soaring!" Ye Yunfei watched the five-colored dragons and inwardly noted.
"Next, let's also elevate my Soul Power energy."
Ye Yunfei retracted the five-colored dragons, took out a large batch of natural treasures containing Soul Power – including medicinal herbs, pills, crystals, and various spirit materials – piled them all around, then released the Soul-Nourishing Tree and began cultivating Soul Power.
Within the Deep-Heart World, Ye Yunfei had obtained a vast quantity of Soul Power treasures. Half had been given to Ji Yue, and half kept for his own cultivation.
Unconsciously, over half a year passed within the Phantom Tower.
"My Soul Power level has increased nearly tenfold.
It already surpasses the vast majority of those at the Creation Origin realm.
In other words, relying solely on the Heavenly Soul Sword and Puppet Soul-Thread secret art, I can exert immense pressure on Creation Origin realm experts."
Ye Yunfei stopped cultivating Soul Power, sensed his current Soul Power intensity, and said with satisfaction.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei again took out a massive amount of cultivation resources and began cultivating the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel.
A year later, Ye Yunfei discovered that nearly a third of the resources on his person had been consumed. Combined with the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree continuously absorbing star energy from deep within time and space, the total energy consumption over this year was truly astonishing.
However, the effects were equally evident: the strength of the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel had ascended another level.
Ye Yunfei estimated that these nine divine beasts could now easily battle Creation Origin realm experts!
"Master, we've entered the range of the Central Divine Land."
Just at this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received Hu Miao's voice transmission.
"Arrived at the Central Divine Land already?"
Ye Yunfei stopped his cultivation and emerged from the Phantom Tower, standing before Hu Miao.
The green flying boat was swiftly flying through the high sky, like a fleeting glimmer.
Ye Yunfei gazed at the land below. He saw majestic mountains and rivers, winding like dragons and serpents. The earth's energy and spiritual aura were dense. All kinds of landforms were present. The energy and laws existing within the space were superior to those of the Eastern Barrens.
The Central Divine Land was where the essence of the Primordial Continent converged, a land blessed with both potent earth energy and outstanding people. All manner of major powers were everywhere, experts as numerous as clouds. Its comprehensive strength far surpassed the other four regions.
"So we've really arrived," Ye Yunfei said slowly as he surveyed the land below.
At this moment, various memories about the Central Divine Land began to surface in Ye Yunfei's mind.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had also ventured through the Central Divine Land for a period.
From the Eastern Barrens to the Central Divine Land, one could say Ye Yunfei was now walking the same path as he had in his previous life!
