"Hand over all the herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
The five Patriarchs were momentarily stunned.
"Esteemed elders, I need to refine a batch of medicinal pills to help you restore your vitality. The greater the quantity of herbs and treasures, the better the effect. The Primordial Heterogeneous Race has a long heritage; each branch can survive for eons, so you surely have a collection of many precious herbs and treasures. I even suspect you might still have Divine Crystals. If there are Divine Crystals, I am even more confident in helping you restore your vitality in a short time," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
As the former Alchemy Venerable of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Ye Yunfei's alchemical skills were almost unrivaled across the entire alchemy world of those realms. His level was no joke.
"That's correct. We do indeed have a small stock of Divine Crystals left, preserved since ancient times," one of the five Patriarchs finally said, having chosen to trust Ye Yunfei.
Soon after, the five Patriarchs personally brought forth a large batch of precious herbs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with six Divine Crystals.
Ye Yunfei immediately entered the Phantom Pagoda to begin refining the pills.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei had completed the refinement and emerged from the Phantom Pagoda.
"Please follow me, the five of you. I will utilize the Nine Dragons Encircling the Pearl Formation to help you restore your vitality," Ye Yunfei said to the five Patriarchs.
Next, Ye Yunfei led the five Patriarchs into the core of the Nine Dragons Encircling the Pearl Formation and had them sit cross-legged at the very center.
Ye Yunfei stamped his foot.
Boom! Rumble...
The nine massive mountain ranges representing the nine dragons began to stir violently, rising and falling, constantly shifting their positions. From high above, it looked as if nine giant dragons were tumbling.
The geopathic energy from beneath the entire Northern Frost Ancient Mining Area began to surge rapidly toward the location of the five Patriarchs. Guided by Ye Yunfei, it poured into their bodies.
Such a vast amount of geopathic energy poured into their bodies would be unbearable for ordinary human physiques, but the Primordial Heterogeneous Race was different; they possessed incredibly tenacious and powerful flesh bodies.
"Take the pills!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sent a batch of pills before each of the five Patriarchs.
The five Patriarchs immediately began to take and refine the pills.
Half a day later.
Boom! Boom...
The bodies of the five Patriarchs trembled violently, as if some kind of shackle had been broken. Their auras soared dramatically.
A moment later.
"Thank you, Young Master Su. Our vitality is nearly fully restored! From now on, we no longer need to continue hibernating within this Nine Dragons Encircling the Pearl Formation!"
The five Patriarchs simultaneously rose to their feet, full of vigor, and bowed to Ye Yunfei in thanks, their attitudes far more respectful than before.
They were now genuinely convinced and deeply grateful to Ye Yunfei.
To restore their vitality, they had spent countless eons hibernating beneath the ground within this formation, yet to this day, they had been unable to truly recover. And now, this young human before them had helped them restore their vitality in merely half a day! Such skill left them in awe!
"There's no need for formalities, all five of you. From now on, we are all allies," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Rest assured, Young Master Su. We will certainly aid you in dealing with the major forces of the Central Divine Land," one of the Patriarchs said.
"Issue the command! Let the true main forces of our Primordial Heterogeneous Race awaken from their slumber and collectively emerge from seclusion! Our race is officially emerging into the world!" Another Patriarch declared.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but give a faint smile.
He had long suspected that this branch of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race likely had a hidden core of true main forces.
Because within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Primordial Heterogeneous Race was an extremely rare but incredibly powerful race.
The true Primordial Heterogeneous Race could not possibly be so weak as to be compared to the forces of the Eastern Barrens. At the very least, they should possess strength on par with the major forces of the Central Divine Land, if not surpass them!
If not for the fact that these five Patriarchs had suffered wounds in ancient times and had led their branch to hide here, this branch of the race would have long been renowned throughout the entire Hongmeng Continent!
With that Patriarch's command, earth-shaking roars continuously emanated from the nest of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race. Wave after wave of terrifying energy pressure transformed into howling hurricanes that surged out.
Then, a well-disciplined army of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race, radiating terrifying auras, marched out.
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over them, discovering a massive number of warriors at Daoyuan, Hunyuan, Zaoyuan, and Tribulation Birth realms!
Sixty experts at the Mind Star Realm!
Adding the five Patriarchs, all at the Shattered Star Realm, this branch of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race indeed possessed a strength that inspired awe!
Such overall strength was more than capable of standing toe-to-toe with the major forces of the Central Divine Land!
"Excellent," Ye Yunfei thought, nodding slightly as he observed the army.
After a brief discussion among themselves, the five Patriarchs issued orders. "Leave a part of our force stationed here! Spread the word that this place remains the territory of our Primordial Heterogeneous Race! No outsider is allowed to enter without permission!"
Soon after, the five Patriarchs personally led a contingent of their race to depart with Ye Yunfei, while another portion of their experts remained stationed behind.
After leaving the Northern Frost Ancient Mining Area, Ye Yunfei led his forces to hunt down the remaining personnel from the Central Divine Land who had come to the Eastern Barrens.
He ordered Elder Zhu and the Earth Kill forces to lay an ambush along the essential routes leading back from the Eastern Barrens to the Central Divine Land. Once any from the Central Divine Land were spotted, they were to show no mercy.
Then, Ye Yunfei and the five Patriarchs of the Primordial Heterogeneous Race led their forces on a widespread hunt throughout the Eastern Barrens.
The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Monastery and the Eastern Wasteland Demon Race also dispatched forces to participate in this extermination campaign.
Soon after, all the personnel from the various major forces who had come to the Eastern Barrens were exterminated, leaving not a single one behind!
Next, Ye Yunfei began organizing the Eastern Wasteland Army.
An old monk from the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Monastery arrived at the Ziwei Sect, leading a large group of monks whose bodies radiated rolling streams of Buddhist light.
"Venerable Master Limo!"
Ye Yunfei personally went out to welcome them. He was a little surprised to see the leading old monk.
It turned out this old monk was the very one Ye Yunfei had 'cut out' from within a heavenly rock back at the Four Directions Trading House's gambling field.
Ye Yunfei scrutinized Venerable Master Limo and discovered he was an expert at the Shattered Star Realm!
When he was first unearthed, he had been extremely weak. Later, he returned to the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Monastery for secluded cultivation. Unexpectedly, he had recovered in such a short time.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Monastery was the most ancient Buddhist tradition in the Eastern Barrens, with an unfathomably deep heritage. Helping a powerful monk recover was not difficult. Moreover, Ye Yunfei already knew that the monastery's Buddhist inheritance actually originated from the Buddhist Realm!
"Haha, young friend, we meet again." A hearty laugh rang out as immense demonic aura surged across the distant horizon, parting the skies. It was none other than the Demon Race Patriarch.
Soon, the Demon Race Patriarch stood before Ye Yunfei.
"Patriarch, I didn't expect your true form to personally emerge from seclusion," Ye Yunfei said, slightly taken aback.
The Demon Race Patriarch before him was indeed his true, original body!
