"When I arrive at Feixian Continent, I will investigate Zisheng Zhenjun's whereabouts. Hopefully, I'll be able to find him," said Ye Yunfei.
"Actually, Zisheng Zhenjun went to Feixian Continent with another purpose. Our Ziwei Sect's former headquarters was located within Feixian Continent. Feixian Continent is a core world, its energy and the laws of heaven and earth far surpassing those of the Primordial Continent. For our Ziwei Sect to restore its past strength, we must return to Feixian Continent. Zisheng Zhenjun went there to seek opportunities, to see if there's a possibility to bring our Ziwei Sect members back to Feixian Continent in the future," said the Mysterious Turtle.
"Zisheng Zhenjun never intended to develop and strengthen the Ziwei Sect within the Primordial Continent. Instead, he always hoped that one day, he could bring the Ziwei Sect back to Feixian Continent. He is a great contributor to our Ziwei Sect!" The Mysterious Turtle said softly.
"Yes, he is indeed a great contributor to our Ziwei Sect," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"So, when do you plan to leave the Primordial Continent?" the Mysterious Turtle asked again.
"Before going to Feixian Continent, I plan to go into seclusion for a while to improve my strength. It will make things easier when I arrive there later," Ye Yunfei replied after a moment's thought.
"Elder Mysterious Turtle, after I leave, the safety of the Ziwei Sect will be entrusted to you," Ye Yunfei said to the divine turtle.
"Don't worry. With the edict of the Ziwei Great Emperor in place, no one in the entire Primordial Continent can threaten our Ziwei Sect. Moreover, besides the Emperor's edict, our sect also has a grand protective formation. Not to mention the Primordial Continent, even those forces coming from core worlds lack the ability to touch our Ziwei Sect," the divine turtle said with a smile.
"With Elder Mysterious Turtle here, of course I am at ease," Ye Yunfei replied.
After that, Ye Yunfei returned to his own secluded cultivation cave abode, entered the Phantom Tower, and began his closed-door cultivation.
For the next few years, Ye Yunfei cultivated continuously within the Phantom Tower. The contents of his cultivation included spiritual power energy, Soul Power, as well as various laws like those of space and time. The ring given to Ye Yunfei by the Tianyou Sect Master from the Xianling World contained a massive amount of cultivation resources, which were used to support his training.
Half a year later, Ye Yunfei began impacting the barriers of his cultivation realm. He successfully broke through to the early stage of the Star Shattering Realm.
"This is not enough. Since the laws of heaven and earth of the Primordial Continent allow breakthroughs up to the Star-Gazing Realm, then I shall break through to the Star-Gazing Realm here before heading to Feixian Continent," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Next, Ye Yunfei continued his closed-door cultivation inside the Phantom Tower. Roughly three years passed as he advanced in one go from the early stage of the Star Shattering Realm to the great completion stage! If news of such a breakthrough speed spread, it would be utterly shocking. However, for Ye Yunfei, this was a perfectly normal occurrence. In his previous life, he had already cultivated to the realm of a Heavenly Emperor. This life was a re-cultivation; he already had profound insights and understanding of every realm, knew it like the back of his hand, so there were no significant breakthrough obstacles.
To use an analogy, Ye Yunfei's spiritual power cultivation realm was like a giant reduced to just its skeleton frame. He only needed to continuously replenish it with flesh, blood, and hair—he could rebuild a living, breathing giant in a short time. Unlike other beings whose cultivation was like a newborn infant, needing to grow step by step, a process full of unknowns, potentially stopping at any time, or even dying young at any moment.
"Star Shattering Realm completion. Next is to charge towards the Star-Gazing Realm."
Afterwards, spending approximately another three years within the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in impacting the realm barrier once again and began to undergo a lightning tribulation.
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower and walked out of his cultivation cave. Above the cave, clouds thick with tribulation gathered, lightning flashed and thunder rolled. A vast amount of lightning energy filled with annihilating aura pervaded the sky. Ye Yunfei soared into the heavens. The tribulation had begun.
It took a full hour before the lightning tribulation finally ended.
"Early stage Star-Gazing Realm! Now, relying on spiritual power alone, I have no match within the Primordial Continent. Even creatures with strength at the great completion of the Star-Gazing Realm can be easily slaughtered by me." Standing high in the sky, feeling the surging, torrential spiritual power energy within his body, Ye Yunfei spoke with confidence.
"Young Master Ye, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Star-Gazing Realm! Your previous realm was the Mind Star Realm, yet in such a short time, you've directly broken through to the Star-Gazing Realm in one breath. This is truly a miracle! Young Master Ye, you are a monstrous talent who constantly creates miracles!" Suddenly, the Demon Ancestor appeared, arriving before Ye Yunfei, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Senior Demon Ancestor, you flatter me," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Young Master Ye, I've come to bid you farewell. I plan to leave the Primordial Continent and return to the Demon Realm. Back then, I suffered severe injuries and came to the Eastern Barrens of the Primordial Continent, secluding myself in the Demonic Forest to heal. Recently, following you, Young Master Ye, you refined many healing pills for me, which have completely cured my injuries. I now intend to return to the Demon Realm to rebuild. After all, that is the world suited for my development," the Demon Ancestor said to Ye Yunfei.
"I knew you would leave the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Not long ago, after bringing the Demon Ancestor back from the ancient battlefield, Ye Yunfei refined a large batch of high-grade healing pills to treat him, completely curing the injuries within the Demon Ancestor's body. Ye Yunfei had long guessed that once the Demon Ancestor's injuries were healed, he would surely return to the Demon Realm.
"In the Eastern Barrens, I was the ancestor of the demon race. But once I return to the Demon Realm, I will become an insignificant, ordinary demon. From then on, I'll need to travel and venture everywhere, pursuing a higher level of strength," the Demon Ancestor said.
"Once Senior returns to the Demon Realm, if you can recover your previous peak strength, you'll be considered a notable expert there, definitely not an ordinary demon," Ye Yunfei said.
Although this Demon Ancestor's physical injuries were healed, his strength was still far from restored to its previous peak state. After all, the Primordial Continent was only an advanced world and lacked demonic energy. There simply wasn't enough demonic energy to support the Demon Ancestor's recovery to his true former strength. This was also the main reason the Demon Ancestor was eager to return to the Demon Realm!
"Young Master Ye, I suspect you will soon leave the Primordial Continent for some core world. For you, it has already become a small pond, no longer suitable for your continued development. I believe we will surely have the chance to meet again in the outside world!" the Demon Ancestor said to Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, you guessed correctly. I will soon leave the Primordial Continent as well; I will go to Feixian Continent. We will have the chance to meet again in the future," Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
"Feixian Continent, good, I'll remember that. Young Master Ye, farewell for now!" The Demon Ancestor nodded, then bid farewell to Ye Yunfei and drifted away.
"Oh, I've already instructed the demon race of the Eastern Barrens to establish a permanent alliance with the Ziwei Sect," the Demon Ancestor's voice echoed back, and then he vanished into the distant horizon. As a Star-Gazing Realm expert, he could now travel at extreme speeds through any space in the Primordial Continent, far faster than any flying ship.
"Another powerhouse is leaving the Primordial Continent," Hun Lao sighed.
"That's the natural course. As long as conditions allow, moving from a small place to a broader world is a choice every creature under heaven would make," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Ye Yunfei, I've just received news. Du Fan seems to be in danger right now," Just at that moment, Sect Leader Liu suddenly appeared before Ye Yunfei, speaking anxiously.
Ye Yunfei intended, before leaving, to gather all his former close friends and family for a meeting, to see them and give instructions. Therefore, he had long asked Sect Leader Liu to send people to find all his former acquaintances. Some time ago, Ye Yunfei had brought several groups of people from the Canghuang Realm to the Primordial Continent. So almost all his close friends and family were already in the Primordial Continent. The Primordial Continent was an advanced world, more suitable for martial cultivation than the Canghuang Realm, let alone compared to the Tianxuan Continent. Naturally, Ye Yunfei would bring all those close to him over.
