"Young Master Ye, breaking through to the Star-Gazing Realm is not a problem of cultivation resources alone; it involves many other aspects.
In all these years, within the Central Divine Land of the Primordial Continent, only the master of the Heavenly God Palace managed to break through to the Star-Gazing Realm.
It's said that in ancient times, the Central Divine Land had quite a few experts at the Star-Gazing Realm, but now there is only one.
In short, wanting to break through to the Star-Gazing Realm is extremely, extremely difficult—almost impossible."
After he gathered his thoughts, the Longevity Palace Master spoke to Ye Yunfei with a wry smile.
As the palace master of the Longevity Palace, he was knowledgeable and well-traveled, and naturally understood just how difficult it was for experts at the Star Shattering Realm to breakthrough to the Star-Gazing Realm!
"No.
The master of the Heavenly God Palace doesn't count.
Strictly speaking, the Central Divine Land doesn't have a single Star-Gazing Realm expert.
This is because, compared to ancient times, the Heavenly and Earth Laws of the Primordial Continent have changed.
With the current Heavenly and Earth Laws of the Primordial Continent, it is indeed very difficult for Star-Gazing Realm experts to be born."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"The Heavenly God Palace master doesn't count?
Alright, Young Master Ye, I know you're most likely right.
But, since the current Heavenly and Earth Laws of the Primordial Continent make it so difficult for Star-Gazing Realm experts to emerge, why are you confident about helping the peak Star Shattering Realm experts of the Eastern Wasteland Army and the Longevity Palace break through?"
The Longevity Palace Master was taken aback, then asked.
"Palace Master, don't worry. I have a plan in mind."
Ye Yunfei spoke again.
"Alright.
Young Master Ye Yunfei, your knowledge surpasses mine, and your strength is greater than mine as well. You can do whatever you wish, and I will support you."
The Longevity Palace Master thought for a moment, then nodded.
During this period, he had personally witnessed the terrifying speed of Ye Yunfei's rapid growth, a speed that was somewhat beyond his comprehension.
When Ye Yunfei first arrived in the Central Divine Land, in the eyes of most people he was just a young, upstart junior from the Eastern Barrens who didn't know his limits. Yet now, he had annihilated twelve major powers of the Central Divine Land. Such a feat was simply a miracle, astounding and incomprehensible!
Next, Ye Yunfei brought the army back to the Longevity Palace headquarters. Then he gathered all the peak Star Shattering Realm experts from both the Eastern Wasteland Army and the Longevity Palace.
Among them, the Longevity Palace had six, the Ancient Temple of the Heavenly Dragon had one, and the Eastern Barrens Demonic Tribe had one.
Added together, there were eight in total!
"Palace Master, although your cultivation is only at the late Star Shattering Realm, you've been stuck at this boundary for a very long time. Try to break through to the Star-Gazing Realm in one go."
Ye Yunfei called the Longevity Palace Master to his side, carefully sensed the energy aura within his body, then spoke.
"Is that possible?"
The Longevity Palace Master was both shocked and overjoyed, yet also somewhat disbelieving.
"Give it a try.
Whether you can succeed or not, I can't say for certain now.
Just do as I tell you when the time comes."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Alright then, I'm willing to try!"
The Longevity Palace Master immediately nodded in agreement.
With such an opportunity, of course he was willing to try.
Once he broke through to the Star-Gazing Realm, from then on he would stand atop the highest peak of the Primordial Continent!
Then, Ye Yunfei ordered that all the cultivation resources seized from those twelve major powers of the Central Continent Army be gathered together.
"Let's go. We are going to the Heaven Beyond Heaven."
Ye Yunfei took the eight Star Shattering Realm experts and the Longevity Palace Master into the green flying boat and headed in the direction of the Chaotic Highlands as he said to them.
"To the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"
The Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts were all somewhat surprised.
"Yes. The Heavenly and Earth Laws of the Primordial Continent are inferior to those of ancient times and are no longer very suitable for breaking through to the Star-Gazing Realm.
The Heavenly and Earth Laws within the Heaven Beyond Heaven are far more advanced than those of the Primordial Continent. So if you want to break through, going to the Heaven Beyond Heaven is the best choice."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"So that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, the Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts all had a sudden understanding and felt even more anticipation.
"Senior Mysterious Turtle, during this period, I'll have to trouble you to stay and keep watch over the Longevity Palace headquarters here. We won't be gone for long; we'll be back soon."
Before leaving, Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to the Mysterious Turtle.
Recently, the Mysterious Turtle had been secluded in cultivation within the Longevity Palace headquarters.
With the Mysterious Turtle's strength, plus the Great Emperor Ziwei's Edict, they could put up a fight even if the Heavenly God Palace Master returned, so Ye Yunfei was relatively at ease.
"You brat, all you know how to do is cause trouble for me. Hurry up and go, and hurry back."
The Mysterious Turtle was lazily basking in the sun atop a mountain peak and answered with an exasperated tone.
The green flying boat transformed into a streak of green light that shot into the sky, traveling far away in an instant and vanishing at the edge of the horizon.
A few days later, Ye Yunfei brought the Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts through and entered the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Although the entrance to the Heaven Beyond Heaven had been destroyed, with Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Silkworm's level of spatial energy, they could find the precise coordinates and traverse into the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Especially for the Golden-Horned Silkworm, this was a racial talent and a relatively easy task.
Ye Yunfei brought everyone to the very center of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, near the Immortal Earth world.
Because this place within the Heaven Beyond Heaven had the most abundant energy and the most complete Heavenly and Earth Laws.
Ye Yunfei had the Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts find places near the Immortal Earth world and begin their secluded cultivation.
Ye Yunfei gave each of them personal guidance one by one, telling them about the experiences, methods, and considerations for breaking through from the peak Star Shattering Realm to the Star-Gazing Realm, allowing them to contemplate it.
Ye Yunfei also tailored detailed breakthrough guidance plans for each of them—the Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts—according to their individual specific circumstances.
After thoroughly guiding these experts, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and began alchemizing pills.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had led the army to annihilate twelve major powers of the Central Divine Land in a row, harvesting an astonishing quantity of cultivation resources.
One had to know that each of these twelve major powers had operated in the Central Divine Land for ages, with terrifyingly deep accumulations and immense wealth. Now, the wealth of all twelve powers had fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands, and Ye Yunfei's current assets and riches had reached an astonishing level!
Not long after, Ye Yunfei concocted a large batch of pills and distributed them to the Longevity Palace Master and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts for consumption and refinement.
For the next several months, Ye Yunfei accompanied these experts, staying by the side of the Immortal Earth world and continuing to guide them in their cultivation breakthroughs.
During this process, Ye Yunfei also had these experts enter the Phantom Tower from time to time to cultivate.
Inside the Phantom Tower, they could have ample time.
While by the side of the Immortal Earth world, they could have abundant energy and complete Heavenly and Earth Laws.
About half a year later in the outside world.
Finally, the nine experts began their breakthroughs.
First was the Longevity Palace Master, who broke through to the peak Star Shattering Realm!
Once the Longevity Palace Master successfully broke through, Ye Yunfei immediately had him enter the Phantom Tower for secluded cultivation.
Because Ye Yunfei's target for the Longevity Palace Master was to break through to the Star-Gazing Realm; he had to enter the Phantom Tower and use the ample time there to consolidate his cultivation foundation in order to have a chance of continuing to charge toward the Star-Gazing Realm.
After the Longevity Palace Master broke through to the peak Star Shattering Realm, the other eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts also began their breakthroughs.
First was a Superior Elder of the Longevity Palace.
This Superior Elder had previously followed the Longevity Palace Master to join the battle between the Eastern Wasteland Army and the Central Continent Army and was relatively familiar with Ye Yunfei.
Boom...
Near a certain location by the Immortal Earth world, dense, pitch-black tribulation clouds blotted out the sky. Thick bolts of lightning wandered between the clouds like dazzling dragons.
Then, the thunder tribulation began.
This thunder tribulation went on for a full day. The violent lightning bolts tormented that Superior Elder of the Longevity Palace, reducing him to a charred, black, human-shaped charcoal stick.
However, he successfully weathered the tribulation in the end and broke through to the Star-Gazing Realm!
"Hahaha...
I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to break through to the Star-Gazing Realm!"
After his breakthrough, the Superior Elder stood high in the air, sensing the terrifying energy within his body, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Young Master Ye, great kindness is beyond words of thanks!"
The Superior Elder descended before Ye Yunfei and said gratefully.
Although he was now at the Star-Gazing Realm, he did not dare show the slightest bit of contempt or neglect toward Ye Yunfei.
"Congratulations, Elder, on successfully breaking through to the Star-Gazing Realm. Now, I'm afraid even I am no match for you.
Now you are already the strongest expert on the Primordial Continent, wanting to dominate it would be as easy as turning over your hand.
Whatever treasures you desire, you can seize them with ease."
Ye Yunfei gazed at this Superior Elder and spoke with a faint smile.
The Superior Elder was startled, then immediately understood Ye Yunfei's meaning.
His strength had greatly increased; Ye Yunfei was testing him, seeing if he would harbor disloyal thoughts after his breakthrough.
After all, when a person's strength skyrocketed, many true aspects of their character and desires would surface.
Especially since everyone on the Primordial Continent now knew that the Heavenly Dao Tower was on Ye Yunfei!
Ye Yunfei had already foreseen this.
Particularly since only this Superior Elder before him had broken through to the Star-Gazing Realm now, while the other experts had not yet broken through. If this Superior Elder developed greedy thoughts and took action against Ye Yunfei at this moment, it would be the perfect timing.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, I am a person who knows how to repay kindness and has principles; I will never harbor disloyal thoughts toward you.
Young Master Ye, from now on, if there's anything you need me to do, just say the word!"
The Superior Elder quickly replied.
"Hmm, good. I'll remember that."
Ye Yunfei stared at the Superior Elder for a while, then nodded in reply.
Actually, when Ye Yunfei was concocting the pills, he had long since taken precautions. He had planted a very sophisticated poison pill inside the bodies of all nine experts. If any of these nine experts, after breaking through to the Star-Gazing Realm, wanted to take action against Ye Yunfei, Ye Yunfei could detonate that poison pill, causing their strength to plummet in a short time.
However, it seemed now that the Superior Elder of the Longevity Palace before him harbored no disloyal thoughts, so Ye Yunfei didn't need to use that poison pill.
Next, the other peak Star Shattering Realm experts also began to break through one after another.
Another month passed, and the eight peak Star Shattering Realm experts all successfully broke through!
They all became Star-Gazing Realm experts!
Finally, the Longevity Palace Master also succeeded in his breakthrough!
After over twenty years of secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower, and with Ye Yunfei's assistance, he charged through the barriers in one go and broke through to the early stage of the Star-Gazing Realm!
Thus, with Ye Yunfei's help, all nine experts successfully broke through to the Star-Gazing Realm!
This meant that the Primordial Continent suddenly gained nine Star-Gazing Realm experts!
Whereas in the long ages past, there had only been one Star-Gazing Realm expert—the Heavenly God Palace Master!
One could imagine just how shocking it would be when these nine newly born Star-Gazing Realm experts appeared before the world!
The entire Primordial Continent would absolutely be completely shaken!
