At this moment, a figure suddenly materialized upon the Teleportation Altar within the palace, standing tall upon the platform.
It was Ye Yunfei!
"It's Palace Master Ye!"
"Palace Master Ye has returned!"
The Qingyun Palace forces who had rushed into the hall saw Ye Yunfei and were both startled and overjoyed. They had just been talking about him, and now Ye Yunfei had actually returned.
"We pay our respects to Palace Master Ye!"
The Qingyun Palace members all knelt down and chorused their greeting.
"Rise."
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeves, using his energy to gently lift everyone to their feet.
However, right at this moment…
BOOM… RUMBLE…
The vast energies and laws of Heaven and Earth grew turbulent, transforming into violent gales and hurricanes that assaulted Ye Yunfei.
It was as though the entire world was rejecting Ye Yunfei!
"Indeed. With my current power, returning to the Canghuang Realm would immediately provoke its rejection," Ye Yunfei revealed a bitter smile.
At the same time, within a certain expanse of starry sky in the Canghuang Realm…
A little girl was idly wandering about when her expression suddenly shifted. She raised her head to look towards the distant heavens, and then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.
"It's Uncle!"
"Uncle's true body has returned!"
The little girl said excitedly, took a step forward, and vanished on the spot.
This little girl was precisely the Canghuang Origin!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was standing atop the Teleportation Altar, resisting the assaults of the world's energy and laws. He had already instructed the Qingyun Palace members to leave, lest they be caught up in the clash.
"Uncle, you've finally returned!"
The very next moment, the Canghuang Origin appeared, arriving by Ye Yunfei's side in a single step.
With the arrival of the Canghuang Origin, the world energies and laws that had been raging towards Ye Yunfei instantly retreated, becoming calm once more.
"Yes, I've returned."
"Fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, I would have been forced to leave this world again," Ye Yunfei replied with a sigh of relief.
With his current strength, forcibly barging into the Canghuang Realm would have invited tremendous trouble, potentially even drawing the attention of the Primordial Pact! Ye Yunfei, at his current level, absolutely dared not provoke the Primordial Pact!
"Uncle, your current power is too overwhelming. Naturally, returning to the Canghuang Realm would incur its rejection. However, with me here, you can move freely within this world without any issues," the Canghuang Origin said.
"It is precisely because you are here that I dared to return, Uncle," Ye Yunfei chuckled.
"Uncle, let's go back," the Canghuang Origin said, stepping forward to take Ye Yunfei's hand.
"Alright, let's go back."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In the next instant, both figures vanished simultaneously.
Within the confines of the Canghuang Realm, wherever the Canghuang Origin wished to go, she could arrive with a single thought.
Soon, their figures appeared in the air above the Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
"Finally… I've returned."
Ye Yunfei looked at the Qingyun Palace he had personally founded and murmured softly.
Before long, within the Qingyun Palace's main council hall, all the high-ranking members of the faction were gathered. The Ye Family's senior members were also present. Only the family head, Ye Tianpeng, was absent.
After Miao Ziqiong and Su Qingluo departed one after another, Ye Tianpeng had become dispirited, retreating into isolated cultivation ever since.
"Palace Master, since your departure, the Canghuang Realm has been relatively peaceful with no major incidents.
Furthermore, our Qingyun Palace has become the number one superpower in the Canghuang Realm, the entire world bowed to their authority.
Presently, our Qingyun Palace is recruiting outstanding young talents from across the entire world. Our scale has expanded severalfold compared to before, and our development momentum is excellent," a senior elder reported on the state of the Canghuang Realm to Ye Yunfei.
"Well done," Ye Yunfei nodded slightly after listening.
"It's just… Palace Master Ye Yunfei, regarding your mother and Lady Qingluo…" another elder spoke cautiously.
"I am aware of their matters," Ye Yunfei nodded.
The moment he had returned to Qingyun Palace's headquarters, Ye Yunfei had already learned about the affairs concerning his mother and Su Qingluo from his Clone.
Before leaving the Canghuang Realm, Ye Yunfei had left behind several Clones, each stationed in different locations within the world.
"Regarding Qingyun Palace's development, let the decisions be yours.
If any issues arise, you may seek counsel from the Supreme Elder and defer to his judgment," Ye Yunfei said to the assembled high-level members.
The Supreme Elder of Qingyun Palace was the Geomancer whom Ye Yunfei had once rescued from within the Tianyou Tomb. That Geomancer was now the most powerful individual in the entire Canghuang Realm.
"No."
"I wish to accompany you to the Primordial Continent. The Canghuang Realm is no longer suitable for me."
Right at this moment, an old man walked into the council hall and spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well, Elder. Wishing to go to the Primordial Continent is very simple; I can take you there," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
The Canghuang Realm was merely a lower-tier world. For a Geomancer of his level, it was indeed unsuitable for long-term development.
"How about this: from Qingyun Palace, select a group of disciples with good innate talent and aptitude who are willing to go to the Primordial Continent and accompany me there.
In the future, our Qingyun Palace will establish a branch on the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei said after some thought.
Within the Three Thousand Worlds, many major powers chose to establish branches across multiple worlds.
For instance, the main headquarters of the Heavenly God Palace was located within a core world, yet they had established branches in many advanced worlds and even lower-tier ones, their influence spanning across several realms!
"Excellent!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the senior leaders of Qingyun Palace all had their spirits uplifted. The opportunity for Qingyun Palace to develop within an advanced world was something they naturally yearned for!
"Elder, prepare yourself. I will depart from the Canghuang Realm very soon," Ye Yunfei said to the Geomancer.
"I have nothing to prepare. I can leave at any moment," the Geomancer chuckled.
"Very well." Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Deposit these financial resources into Qingyun Palace's treasury to serve as the palace's foundation," Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and over a hundred spatial rings flew out, landing before a few of Qingyun Palace's elders.
Hss!
Those elders probed the contents within these spatial rings and drew sharp breaths in astonishment, feeling utterly shocked. Each spatial ring was laden with massive amounts of cultivation resources—every single item, if brought out into the Canghuang Realm, would be a priceless treasure! It could be said that the cultivation resources stored within these hundred-plus spatial rings far exceeded in value the total cultivation resources possessed by the entire Canghuang Realm!
After all, these were cultivation resources sourced from an advanced world! Truly, with this batch of resources, Qingyun Palace's wealth would far surpass the combined wealth of all other forces within the Canghuang Realm!
Next, Ye Yunfei arrived at the depths of Qingyun Palace's headquarters, descending upon a beautifully elegant mountain peak.
This was Ye Tianpeng's secluded cultivation sanctuary! When Miao Ziqiong was still here, this had been the couple's residence.
Ye Yunfei arrived outside Ye Tianpeng's meditation chamber.
"Fei'er."
Sensing Ye Yunfei's aura, Ye Tianpeng immediately emerged, calling out excitedly.
As father and son met, a sheen of glistening tears welled up in each man's eyes.
"Father, I have already learned of the matters concerning Mother and Qingluo. Please be at ease. Sooner or later, I will charge up to the Scarlet Vermilion Realm and bring Mother and Qingluo back.
Moreover, I will demand due justice from the clan of the Vermilion Bird King!"
Ye Yunfei declared, grinding his teeth in resolve.
