"Fine! If I can truly restore my strength, some treasures are nothing. Not to mention my peak period, even if I can only recover seventy to eighty percent of my former power, the entire Tianxiong Domain, even the entire Feixian Continent, will be mine to roam. I can start over from the beginning."
Xuanlong Daozhang spoke.
"Exactly! That's the right mindset! Looks like you've thought it through. Good, let's go immediately and retrieve all the treasures you hid away back then!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed. This Xuanlong Daozhang was once a major figure who dominated a region; the treasures he amassed were definitely not ordinary.
"You kid are too greedy!" Xuanlong Daozhang grumbled without much real anger.
"But constantly dragging you through the underground while that Master Huang Gong can track our aura is very unpleasant. Here's an idea: I'll figure out a way to let you enter my Space Treasure. Then we can tunnel through earth or fly through the sky as we wish, making it much harder for them to track us."
Ye Yunfei looked at the palace before him, thought for a moment, and spoke.
"Enter your Space Treasure? But I am using a special ancient burial technique to 'live-bury' myself within the earth. I must rely on absorbing Earth Qi Energy to maintain my vitality. I cannot be separated from the earth for extended periods."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xuanlong Daozhang hurriedly replied.
"Don't worry, I understand your situation. But don't forget, I am a Geomancer. I will use the Geomancy Technique to gather a massive amount of Earth Qi Energy, then cut off a portion of the earth and place it inside my Space Treasure. That way, you can enter my Space Treasure."
Ye Yunfei answered.
"Cut off a portion of the earth and place it in your Space Treasure? Is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanlong Daozhang was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
"I'll give it a try."
Ye Yunfei replied. In truth, Ye Yunfei did know of a method to sever and transfer a piece of land, but the difficulty was immense. Only those with an extremely high level of proficiency in the Geomancy Technique could possibly accomplish it. Now, Ye Yunfei decided to attempt it.
Ye Yunfei knew his own Geomancy Technique level was not particularly outstanding. However, with the assistance of the Measuring Earth Plate and the Geomancy Technique tools, it was worth a try; perhaps he could succeed. As his proficiency in Geomancy Technique continued to improve, Ye Yunfei felt the power he could unleash when using these two artifacts was growing stronger. Therefore, Ye Yunfei understood these two items were likely far more precious than he had imagined.
Next, Ye Yunfei, carrying the palace, found a location deep underground where Earth Qi Energy was exceptionally rich. He used the Geomancy Technique to gather all the Earth Qi Energy within a thousand-mile radius.
Then, Ye Yunfei began crafting Formation Flags.
Half a day later, Ye Yunfei had crafted a large number of yellow Formation Flags.
Following that, Ye Yunfei activated the Measuring Earth Plate and Dragon-Driving Whip. He walked about this underground area, inserting flag after flag into different positions.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei also released a large group of earth dragons from the Phantom Tower to help him sever this piece of land.
Visible streams of yellow talisman characters continuously erupted from the Measuring Earth Plate and Dragon-Driving Whip, merging into the surrounding underground world.
As Ye Yunfei continuously cast his arts, the radiance emanating from these two artifacts grew increasingly brilliant, releasing more and more yellow talisman characters.
In the end, Ye Yunfei was astonished to discover that these two artifacts seemed to have completely taken control of a large swath of the surrounding land. The Geomancy Technique Ye Yunfei employed and these two artifacts complemented each other, unleashing formidable power.
"Sever!"
Finally, Ye Yunfei let out a soft shout and pointed with his hand. The earth within this area actually began to fracture and detach from the surrounding land.
"Success!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel elated.
"Young man, your Geomancy Technique skill is truly remarkable! You've actually managed to sever a large piece of land!"
Seeing this scene, Xuanlong Daozhang was also filled with pleasant surprise.
"Rise!"
A moment later, Ye Yunfei shouted softly and pointed again.
With a rumbling sound, a piece of land began to shrink slowly until it was successfully teleported into the Phantom Tower.
Thus, the Phantom Tower now contained an additional piece of land! And this piece of land had gathered a massive amount of Earth Qi Energy.
"Alright, you can now enter my Space Treasure without worrying about being separated from the earth."
Ye Yunfei said to Xuanlong Daozhang.
"Excellent! Young man, you really have talent. To think that despite your youth, you are not only highly skilled in alchemy, but your Geomancy Technique is also so advanced. Truly remarkable!"
Xuanlong Daozhang praised, his attitude towards Ye Yunfei growing increasingly warm and friendly. An alchemy master and a skilled Geomancer were welcome anywhere, let alone one who combined both skills, making his value even higher. One could say, with Ye Yunfei's level of alchemy and Geomancy Technique, he would be highly valued no matter where he went.
Xuanlong Daozhang, having lived for a long time, was shrewd. He naturally understood the value of an alchemist and a Geomancer, so he genuinely began to harbor intentions of befriending Ye Yunfei.
"Not good! Those fellows are chasing us again! Get into my Space Treasure immediately!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's expression changed as he sensed sharp figures approaching rapidly in the distance.
"Right!"
Xuanlong Daozhang also sensed it and immediately entered the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei utilized his spatial energy, taking a single step to traverse deep into space.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, it's up to you now."
Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. As its bloodline awakening progressed further, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's ability to traverse space grew stronger.
Swoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, carrying the Phantom Tower as it began continuously traversing through space to escape.
A moment later.
Master Huang Gong and over a dozen elders arrived at the spot where Ye Yunfei had severed the land. Seeing a vast area of land missing, they were somewhat shocked.
"Master Huang Gong, why is a chunk of land missing here? Did Xuanlong Daozhang and that kid do this?"
One elder asked gravely.
"Most likely that kid's doing."
Master Huang Gong's expression was somewhat ugly.
"Why would he do this?"
Another elder inquired.
"By severing and taking this piece of land, he can take Xuanlong Daozhang away from the earth's embrace. From now on, they can leave the earth's domain. This means it will be much harder for us to track them. That damn kid is behind this mischief!"
Master Huang Gong thought for a moment and said gravely. His Geomancy Technique skill was also considerable, and he immediately saw through Ye Yunfei's intention.
"Everyone, if they leave the earth's domain, I will be unable to track them."
Master Huang Gong added. During this period, it had been Master Huang Gong using Geomancy Technique to track Xuanlong Daozhang and Ye Yunfei. But now that Xuanlong Daozhang and Ye Yunfei had left the earth's domain, he knew his Geomancy Technique would likely be of little use.
"Young man, the timeflow inside your Space Treasure is actually different from the outside world! Such Space Treasures are exceedingly rare in this world! You actually possess such a rare treasure; your background must be considerable, right?"
At this moment, inside the Phantom Tower, Xuanlong Daozhang made this discovery and couldn't help but be greatly astonished.
Ye Yunfei smiled without answering. He wouldn't tell Xuanlong Daozhang about his origins.
"Young Master, it's terrible! I've just received jade slip communication from my clan. Our Mao Clan is under attack by powerful enemies. The situation is critical; we may face the calamity of extermination!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei received a transmission from the leader of the Mao Clan, filled with urgency.
"The Mao Clan is under attack? Could it be the Tianliang Sacred Land has learned of the relationship between the Mao Clan and me?"
Ye Yunfei wondered inwardly.
"Do not panic. We will return to the Mao Clan's headquarters immediately!"
Ye Yunfei replied.
Next, Ye Yunfei instructed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm to carry the Phantom Tower towards the direction of the Mao Clan headquarters. Ye Yunfei planned to nurture the Mao Clan into a force under his command within the Feixian Continent; naturally, he wouldn't just watch them meet with disaster.
