"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Begin the teleportation immediately, lest unexpected changes occur!"
Heavenly God Palace Master said in a deep voice.
"Palace Master, attempting to teleport such a large group of Star-Gazing Realm experts all at once is quite difficult. It would be much safer to ask Elder Mage to assist," a Supreme Elder suggested.
"Elder Mage is unavailable. In that case, summon all mages of our Heavenly God Palace. Along with us few, we will combine our strengths to teleport these people over," the Heavenly God Palace Master pondered for a moment before deciding.
At the same time.
Within the headquarters of Longevity Palace in the Divine Land of Primordial Continent.
Inside the Phantom Shadow Tower.
It took Ye Yunfei several years to finally gradually clear the illusions within the Demon Ancestor's Soul Sea.
During this process, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao worked together, researching, analyzing, and continuously breaking these illusions.
It must be said that those illusions were terrifyingly profound, giving even Ye Yunfei a slight headache.
While dismantling those illusions, Hu Miao benefited tremendously, achieving a massive leap in her Illusion Art skills!
The ancient Heavenly Fox race was innately proficient in illusions. However, Hu Miao's bloodline level was not yet high enough to fully master the illusion techniques passed down through her race. During this period, through constant study and contemplation of the illusions within the Demon Ancestor's Soul Sea, she received immense inspiration, causing her illusion skill level to continuously improve.
"Almost there. In a while longer, the Demon Ancestor will fully regain consciousness," Ye Yunfei finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Once the Demon Ancestor awakens, I will need to consider when to leave the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
In this life, Ye Yunfei's most pressing pursuit was to cultivate back to the Heavenly Emperor realm.
The natural laws of Primordial Continent fundamentally could not support Ye Yunfei's cultivation to the Heavenly Emperor realm, so he had to go to a higher-level world.
"Master, which world are you planning to go to after leaving Primordial Continent?" Hu Miao asked curiously.
"I haven't really thought about that yet," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before answering.
"Kid, don't forget, there's still a lingering threat in the Divine Land of Primordial Continent," Hun Lao suddenly reminded.
"I haven't forgotten.
The ancestral shrine within Heavenly God Palace's headquarters.
I will go and destroy it.
Otherwise, the Heavenly God Palace will eventually make a comeback," Ye Yunfei knew what Hun Lao was referring to and nodded in agreement.
"Hu Miao, the majority of the illusions within the Demon Ancestor's Soul Sea have been cleared. You should be able to eradicate the remainder yourself.
I plan to go into seclusion for cultivation to raise my realm," Ye Yunfei pondered before speaking to Hu Miao.
"Alright, Master, you can rest assured. I am capable of helping the Demon Ancestor eliminate all the remaining illusions," Hu Miao replied.
Thus, Ye Yunfei found a quiet spot within the Phantom Shadow Tower and began his closed-door cultivation, attempting a breakthrough in his energy cultivation realm.
Ye Yunfei took out the spatial ring gifted by the Tianyi Sect Leader, withdrawing a large batch of Law Crystals, medicinal herbs, pills, and various precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures advantageous for breaking through realms.
The amount of cultivation resources within this spatial ring was truly immense!
That Tianyi Sect Leader had originally brought this batch of resources to replenish depleted energy on the battlefield, but he never got the chance to use them. The war had barely begun when he was ambushed and killed by his own people. Now, they were all given to Ye Yunfei.
Over the following period, while impacting his realm, Ye Yunfei also spent time refining various types of specialized pills to aid in realm breakthroughs.
Approximately half a year passed within the Phantom Shadow Tower.
Finally, Ye Yunfei began his breakthrough, ushering in the heavenly tribulation.
"Early phase of Mind-Star Realm!"
After weathering the lightning tribulation, Ye Yunfei stood high in the sky, clenched his fists, and murmured to himself.
"This will do for now.
Next, I will first enhance my Soul Power, spatial energy, and temporal energy to strengthen my overall combat power," Ye Yunfei thought, making an internal decision.
As his realm continuously elevated, Ye Yunfei was getting closer to the Heavenly Emperor realm.
But precisely because of this, Ye Yunfei grew calmer and more cautious, not daring to pursue a rapid realm breakthrough.
Ye Yunfei understood that to successfully reach the Heavenly Emperor realm in the end, one absolutely had to emphasize the foundation of one's energy cultivation. Only by honing the foundation of one's cultivation energy to its most solid state was it possible to become a Heavenly Emperor!
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei began refining various pills, consuming and refining them to enhance his Soul Power, spatial energy, and temporal energy.
The spatial ring contained a vast quantity of cultivation resources specifically used for replenishing Soul Power because, besides cultivation energy, Soul Power would also be heavily consumed during battles. Therefore, that Tianyi Sect Leader had also prepared large quantities of natural treasures imbued with Soul Power energy.
At the same time, the quantities of Space Law Crystals and Time Law Crystals were also significant.
In any case, it was more than enough to satisfy Ye Yunfei's cultivation needs at his current stage!
Another half a year passed inside the Phantom Shadow Tower.
"Very good. My current Soul Power now surpasses that of the vast majority of Mind-Star Realm experts!
The level of my spatial energy and temporal energy are the same. I estimate few Star-Gazing Realm experts can compare with me!
With my current combat power, I can already hold my own in a fight against a Star-Gazing Realm expert," Ye Yunfei was quite satisfied with the results of the past half-year's cultivation and spoke aloud.
"You could easily handle a Star-Gazing Realm expert simply by taking out that semi-Heavenly Emperor grade longsword. Why bother wasting effort fighting them?" Hun Lao said.
"One's own strength is the most reliable.
Moreover, that semi-Heavenly Emperor grade longsword can't be used recklessly within Primordial Continent. Once activated, it would be met with rejection from Primordial Continent's natural laws.
I estimate it could strike out at most once or twice before it would have to be hidden away inside the Heavenly Dao Tower immediately," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
"That's true. That sword is an offensive-type semi-Heavenly Emperor treasure, easily capable of causing significant damage to Primordial Continent's space and time. Of course, it would be repelled by the continent.
The Heavenly Dao Tower is different. Although it's a Heavenly Emperor grade treasure, it's a defensive-type treasure, causing no harm to Primordial Continent whatsoever, so it doesn't face rejection," Hun Lao stated.
"You're only half right.
The reason the Heavenly Dao Tower can enter some low-level worlds, or even some small worlds, has two reasons. First, because the Heavenly Dao Tower is a defensive-type treasure, posing no harm to low-level worlds. Second, because Emperor Guhuang carefully arranged certain settings for the Heavenly Dao Tower, giving it powerful isolation capabilities. It can completely isolate itself from the surrounding space and time at any moment, preventing the surrounding natural laws from sensing or repelling it," Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Is that so?
Could your understanding of the Heavenly Dao Tower surpass mine?" Hun Lao questioned doubtfully.
"Of course it does," Ye Yunfei laughed.
In his previous life, when Ye Yunfei was a Heavenly Emperor, he had personally forged quite a few Heavenly Emperor grade treasures, so naturally, he possessed deep understanding of them.
"Master, all the illusions within the Demon Ancestor's Soul Sea have been cleared away. He will regain consciousness shortly."
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei received Hu Miao's voice transmission.
"Is that so? That's wonderful," Ye Yunfei immediately stopped cultivating and came to Hu Miao's side. Indeed, he found that the illusions within the Demon Ancestor's Soul Sea had been completely eradicated, and the Demon Ancestor was slowly regaining awareness.
"Young Master Ye! It's you!
Why are you here?
Could it be... you also entered that ancient battlefield?"
A short while later, the Demon Ancestor fully regained consciousness. The first person his opened eyes saw was Ye Yunfei, and he cried out in joyful surprise.
He thought he was still in that ancient battlefield!
"Senior, you've finally awakened.
Senior, rest assured. We have already returned to the Divine Land and are currently within the Longevity Palace headquarters," Ye Yunfei answered with a smile.
"What? We've returned to Longevity Palace's headquarters?" The Demon Ancestor found it somewhat hard to believe and immediately released his Soul Power, sensing outward in all directions.
"We have indeed returned to Longevity Palace's headquarters!
How did this happen?
Young Master Ye, was it you who brought me back from that ancient battlefield?
I recall that in that ancient battlefield, I ventured into a valley and saw a beautiful celestial maiden. Then, I don't know how it happened, but I suddenly became deeply infatuated with that maiden, willingly willing to follow by her side forever. After that, I was lost in a daze, seemingly staying in that valley for a very long time." After sensing for a while, the Demon Ancestor finally believed he was indeed at the Longevity Palace headquarters. Overflowing with elation, he recounted his memories.
"Senior, what you saw in that valley wasn't a celestial maiden but a female skeletal corpse. You fell victim to a very potent illusion technique and were trapped within an illusion..." Ye Yunfei briefly explained the events.
"So I was trapped by an illusion!
That's terrifying!
Young Master Ye, if you hadn't gone to bring me back, I'm afraid I would have been stuck in that valley forever, spending my remaining days accompanying that woman's bones!" After hearing Ye Yunfei's account, the Demon Ancestor couldn't help but break into a cold sweat all over his body.
