Afterwards, Ye Yunfei remained at the Ziwei Sect headquarters for one year.
During this year, Ye Yunfei primarily focused on several tasks.
The first was to guide the alchemists of the Ziwei Sect's Alchemy Hall, improving their alchemy skills.
The alchemy masters of the Ziwei Sect mainly consisted of the alchemists from the Zidan Valley.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Yunfei had brought Dan Jun to the Primordial Continent. Dan Jun was now a high-ranking member of the Alchemy Hall.
The second task was to pass down several profound cultivation techniques and martial arts for everyone to practice.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei personally arranged a large number of Earth Formations and various other formations inside and outside the Ziwei Sect, making the sect headquarters the most defensively fortified base in the entire Primordial Continent.
Not even a Star-Gazing Realm expert would be able to breach the Ziwei Sect headquarters!
Ye Yunfei also spent time guiding the cultivation of his family, friends, and companions, especially his father's training.
He gathered all these close ones into the Phantom Tower to cultivate, allowing them ample training time within a short period.
Under Ye Yunfei's personal guidance, the strength of his close kin and friends progressed astonishingly fast.
Among them, Ye Tianpeng made the most progress!
Some time ago, Ye Yunfei had fused three rare treasures into his body, greatly enhancing his cultivation talent!
Now, Ye Tianpeng had already attained the strength of the Life Palace Realm!
Although such strength was nothing significant within the Primordial Continent and not even considered top-tier in the Eastern Barrens, Ye Tianpeng possessed immense potential.
Ye Yunfei estimated that with his father's current talent and potential, he would eventually cultivate to become a Star-Gazing Realm expert, ranking among the top-tier powerhouses of the Primordial Continent!
This filled Ye Yunfei with great satisfaction.
"When the opportunity arises, I will continue searching for more precious treasures to elevate my father's talent! I must ensure that he becomes a powerhouse capable of commanding respect across one of the worlds within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!" Ye Yunfei thought resolutely to himself.
The others also made significant leaps in strength under Ye Yunfei's tutelage, especially the younger generation.
Among them, Ji Yue had already become a Hybrid Origin Realm expert!
Ever since Ye Yunfei had found the Soul Lotus last time, curing her Soul Body injuries, and their return from Central Divine Land, she had devoted almost all her time to cultivation, becoming a cultivation maniac.
In the past on the Tianxuan Continent, Wu Heishan was always clamoring about pursuing Holy Maidens from major sects and great clans. But now, as his strength continuously improved, his personality seemed to have undergone a significant change. Ye Yunfei hadn't heard him mention any ideas about pursuing so-and-so Holy Maidens.
Wen Zi had also shed her previous playful, almost madcap personality, maturing into a graceful and beautiful young lady, even faintly exuding the bearing of a refined young woman from a distinguished family. Seeing this, Ye Yunfei felt quite gratified.
As for Situ Kong'er, Murong Pei, Princess Suzaku, and others, each had seen a tremendous increase in strength. In the near future, they could all become experts capable of standing on their own.
Ye Yunfei knew that these friends of his would undoubtedly become renowned and formidable powerhouses within the Primordial Continent.
A year later.
"Hun Lao, I intend to leave the Primordial Continent. Continuing to stay in this world no longer holds much benefit for me," Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao.
"That's right. It is time for you to go to a higher-tier world. Staying in the Primordial Continent will only be a constraint for you," Hun Lao nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I shall leave tomorrow," Ye Yunfei made his decision.
Next, Ye Yunfei bid farewell to everyone.
He repeatedly assured them that he would definitely return in the future, so there wasn't much sadness among them.
After all, everyone knew that Ye Yunfei had journeyed all the way from the Tianxuan Continent to the Primordial Continent, and he was destined to go to even higher-tier worlds.
The next day, Ye Yunfei quietly left the Ziwei Sect headquarters.
This time, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Golden-horned Dragon Silkworm, the Ice Demon, and the Green-robed Elder, among others, all accompanied him.
"One of the main problems we now face is: how do we get to the Feixian Continent? Have you figured it out?" Hun Lao immediately asked Ye Yunfei after they departed the Ziwei Sect headquarters.
"Not yet, for the moment. The most direct method is to shatter the Primordial Continent's spatial barrier, traverse outwards, enter the Confused Void, and search for a path to the Feixian Continent," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
"I wonder if there are any direct teleportation passages to the Feixian Continent within the Primordial Continent. That would be much simpler if they exist," Hun Lao remarked.
"I know. Let's do this: we'll first travel around and see if we can find any direct teleportation channels to the Feixian Continent. If we can't find any, then we'll break through the spatial barrier to leave the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei proposed after some thought.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took Hun Lao and traveled to various regions of the Primordial Continent, specifically inquiring about any secret realms, ancient teleportation altars, or forbidden zones, venturing in to explore.
However, even after a year of searching, they still had not found a direct teleportation passage leading to the Feixian Continent.
"Hun Lao, it seems the Primordial Continent doesn't have a direct teleportation channel to the Feixian Continent. We can only resort to shattering the spatial barrier and search for a way to the Feixian Continent through the Confused Void outside," Ye Yunfei sighed a year later as he spoke to Hun Lao.
"It seems we have no other choice," Hun Lao nodded.
Thus, Ye Yunfei hesitated no longer and strode towards the depths of the sky.
The Green-robed Elder belonged to the Brightness Clan. Since he intended to return to the world of his clan in the future, he chose not to stay in the Primordial Continent.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei arrived deep within the celestial firmament.
"Hun Lao, if we wish to leave the Primordial Continent, we must find a point where the spatial barrier is weak, shatter it, and traverse outwards," Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao.
"Let me search for it," Hun Lao emerged from the Heavenly Dao Tower.
He possessed a portion of the Chaotic World Tree's inheritance, attaining an extremely high mastery over the laws of space and time. Particularly, he was highly sensitive to a world's spatial barrier. In this aspect, even Ye Yunfei felt he couldn't compare.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao began searching deep within the firmament for a location with a relatively weak spatial barrier.
Roughly after spending over a month, Hun Lao finally pinpointed such a spot.
"It's here," Hun Lao pointed to a location ahead and told Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, let's head out," Ye Yunfei said.
With Ye Yunfei's current Star-Gazing Realm strength, an expert at this level in the Primordial Continent already possessed the initial capability to traverse spatial barriers.
Ye Yunfei walked towards the direction indicated by Hun Lao, then threw a punch, directly shattering the space at that point, creating a spatial gap.
In a flash, Ye Yunfei stepped inside, beginning a forced traverse.
Next, Ye Yunfei navigated within the spatial barrier, forcefully traversing. Hun Lao accompanied him, employing all sorts of profound spatial-temporal secret techniques he had mastered to aid Ye Yunfei.
Approximately half an hour later.
Finally, Ye Yunfei successfully traversed this section of the spatial barrier, completely leaving the Primordial Continent and arriving in the Confused Void outside.
A single glance revealed a chaotic and indistinct scene everywhere. Time and space were extremely unstable, entirely different from the spatial-temporal structure and laws within the Primordial Continent.
"Now, we must traverse this boundless Confused Void, find the location of the Feixian Continent, and then find a way to break into it. This process is no simple matter, and it's hard to predict just how much time it will take," Hun Lao remarked with a sigh as he surveyed the vast, empty void around them.
