"The Vermilion Bird Realm is powerful, its might renowned across three thousand small worlds. The Vermilion Bird Family is the ruler of that realm and not to be trifled with. Fei'er, you must be careful."
Ye Tianpeng sighed, his face etched with worry.
His wife and daughter were trapped in the Vermilion Bird Realm; he did not want his son to come to harm as well. But he knew that with Ye Yunfei's temperament, he would undoubtedly go to the Vermilion Bird Realm to save them—there was absolutely no dissuading him.
"No matter how powerful the Vermilion Bird Family is, I will settle accounts with them. For the suffering they have inflicted upon our family, I will make them repay tenfold!"
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"It's all because I'm useless, unable to help you."
Ye Tianpeng blamed himself.
Ever since Miao Ziqiong had left, he had entered seclusion, cultivating desperately to elevate his realm, all for the sake of one day going to the Vermilion Bird Realm himself to rescue his wife and daughter.
However, he also understood that no matter how hard he cultivated, given his talent and strength, he could never catch up to his son's power.
*It seems I must search for some rare natural treasures to enhance father's martial cultivation talent. Otherwise, with his current innate potential, his future achievements on the martial path will be limited.*
Perceiving Ye Tianpeng's physical condition, Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Father, I plan to establish a stable teleportation channel between the Canghuang Realm and the Tianxuan Continent. In the future, inhabitants of both worlds will be able to travel freely, allowing the people of Tianxuan Continent to cultivate in the Canghuang Realm whenever they wish."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before speaking.
"That's a wonderful idea. The Tianxuan Continent is our homeland; if it can become stronger, it's naturally a good thing. Establishing a stable passage between the Canghuang Realm and the Tianxuan Continent will help elevate the overall strength of the Tianxuan Continent."
Ye Tianpeng nodded in agreement.
Thus, Ye Yunfei arrived before the spatial rift that connected the Tianxuan Continent and the Canghuang Realm.
This spatial rift had been modified by Ye Yunfei in the past, allowing only him to use it for teleportation.
With a thought, the Roc flew out from behind him, charging into the spatial rift ahead and beginning to reconstruct this spatial passage.
With the Roc's current level of spatial energy, remodeling a small spatial rift was an extremely easy task.
Approximately one day later, the spatial rift had been transformed into a stable spatial channel.
Ye Yunfei split off a clone, passed through the channel back to the Tianxuan Continent, and returned to Hudao Academy.
Seeing Ye Yunfei return, Xie Changkong and the other upper echelons of Hudao Academy were naturally overjoyed.
Ye Yunfei led the Academy's high-ranking members to the newly formed spatial channel, informing them they could now pass through it to reach the Canghuang Realm at any time.
"So... we can travel freely between the Tianxuan Continent and the Canghuang Realm from now on?"
Every one of the Hudao Academy upper echelon was extremely excited.
"Yes. This channel is very stable. You can cross it whenever you wish, free to come and go. From this moment on, the Tianxuan Continent and the Canghuang Realm are interconnected, essentially becoming a single world."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Excellent! This is fantastic news for the inhabitants of our Tianxuan Continent! In the future, we can cultivate in a more advanced world."
Xie Changkong said excitedly.
For the living beings of the Tianxuan Continent, this was indeed an earth-shattering event of epochal significance!
"However... experts abound in the Canghuang Realm. When the people of Tianxuan Continent go there, I'm afraid they'll be in considerable danger."
One of the senior figures suddenly voiced a concern amidst the excitement.
"There's no need to worry. Qingyun Palace in the Canghuang Realm was established by me, and it is now the strongest superpower there. From now on, Hudao Academy and Qingyun Palace will merge into one entity, becoming a single faction. Once you go to the Canghuang Realm, generally, no one will dare to provoke you."
Ye Yunfei said with a reassuring smile.
"Young Master Ye... the Qingyun Palace you founded has become the strongest superpower in the Canghuang Realm?"
Xie Changkong and the other Hudao Academy leaders were both shocked and delighted upon hearing this.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Haha! That's wonderful! Very well, from now on, our Hudao Academy will merge with Qingyun Palace to become one faction."
Xie Changkong laughed heartily.
Next, Ye Yunfei brought Xie Changkong and the other Academy leaders to Qingyun Palace's headquarters, publicly announcing the decision to merge Qingyun Palace and Hudao Academy.
Since Qingyun Palace was founded by Ye Yunfei, its senior members naturally had no objections to his decision.
Everyone knew Ye Yunfei hailed from the Tianxuan Continent and had also long heard of Hudao Academy, so the senior members from both sides quickly became well-acquainted.
Ye Yunfei appointed Xie Changkong and several of Hudao Academy's elders as direct elders of Qingyun Palace.
And so, the two factions officially merged into one.
Around this time, many major forces within the Canghuang Realm had received the news of Ye Yunfei's true body returning. Consequently, high-ranking members of numerous large factions came daily to pay their respects to Ye Yunfei.
After spending more than ten days with Ye Tianpeng at Qingyun Palace's headquarters, Ye Yunfei bid farewell to the group, preparing to return to the Primordial Continent.
He still had many unresolved matters there.
The headquarters of Qingyun Palace had long since selected a group of individuals who wished to follow Ye Yunfei to the Primordial Continent, including the Geomancer. They set out together with Ye Yunfei.
Persuaded by Ye Yunfei, Ye Tianpeng finally also agreed to accompany him to the Primordial Continent.
After all, the Primordial Continent was a higher-tier world, far more beneficial for a martial cultivator's progress.
Ye Yunfei transported everyone into the Phantom Tower, traveled to the depths of the former headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb, entered the palace there, activated the altar, and teleported away.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei returned to the Eastern Barrens of the Primordial Continent.
He went straight back to the headquarters of Ziwei Sect.
"Sect Leader Liu, these people are ones I brought from the Canghuang Realm, all old comrades or relatives and friends of mine. From now on, they are members of Ziwei Sect. Please see to their proper arrangements."
Ye Yunfei transported everyone he had brought from the Canghuang Realm and stood before Sect Leader Liu.
"This is my father."
He added, pointing at Ye Tianpeng.
"So this is your esteemed father!"
Sect Leader Liu and the other higher-ups were startled and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically to greet Ye Tianpeng.
Ye Yunfei then informed Sect Leader Liu of the identities of the Geomancer and the other Qingyun Palace senior members.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured. They will also be upper echelons of our Ziwei Sect from this day forward!"
Sect Leader Liu immediately decided to appoint the Geomancer and the other Qingyun Palace senior members directly as high-ranking members of Ziwei Sect.
Now that Ye Yunfei had become a core figure of Ziwei Sect, how could Sect Leader Liu and the others dare show the slightest negligence towards people he personally brought?
"Is there any news of the Demon Ancestor?"
Ye Yunfei inquired.
"None yet, unfortunately."
Sect Leader Liu sighed.
"I'll go look for him again, then."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei decided to return to the Central Divine Land to personally search for the Demon Ancestor.
After all, the reason for the Demon Ancestor's disappearance was because he had helped Ye Yunfei deal with the Heavenly God Palace Master. Therefore, Ye Yunfei carried a sense of guilt within him.
