"The legendary Heavenly Dao Tower actually appeared in our Feixian Continent, and it's right on that brat who's antagonizing our Sword Emperor Pavilion. This is astonishing news!
If our Sword Emperor Pavilion obtains that Heavenly Dao Tower, our three Supreme Elders and our Pavilion Master will have greater hope of impacting the Heavenly Emperor realm!"
The four experts from the Sword Emperor Pavilion were all extremely excited. To have inadvertently learned the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao Tower was considered a great merit.
"Thoroughly investigate every trace of Ye Yunfei's activity in the Feixian Continent during this period. I want to know every faction and every living being associated with him!"
At this moment, the Heavenly God Palace Master had returned to the location where Ye Yunfei had torn through space earlier. With a dark expression, he issued orders to the Heavenly God Palace members who had followed him.
"Yes!"
A large group of Heavenly God Palace forces immediately dispersed upon receiving the orders to investigate Ye Yunfei's recent movements.
"Old Diviner, make a trip to the Feixian Continent. Help me divine that kid Ye Yunfei," the Heavenly God Palace Master thought for a moment, then took out a worn-out talisman paper and spoke a sentence to it.
Boom...
The worn-out talisman paper transformed into a violet crane that pierced through realms and flew away.
This was a highly advanced talisman paper. With sufficient strength, it could be used to send messages to another realm.
"Ye Yunfei, I will definitely find you," the Heavenly God Palace Master said coldly, then took a step and instantly vanished.
At this moment, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm carrying the Phantom Tower was already far away.
"The powerhouse earlier... he's the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace from the Xianling Realm?"
Upon learning the Heavenly God Palace Master's identity from Ye Yunfei, Xuanlong Daozhang was struck dumb.
The Heavenly God Palace from the Xianling Realm was too famous. Many powerful beings in the Feixian Continent also knew of its existence.
"Little Brother, how did you end up antagonizing the Heavenly God Palace Master?
He's a truly terrifying powerhouse. I've heard he's one of the top-ranked powerhouses in the Xianling Realm! He actually came to the Feixian Continent personally to cause trouble for you!
This is rather bad!" Xuanlong Daozhang said with furrowed brows.
Being pursued by such a powerhouse was a massive headache.
Moreover, behind the Heavenly God Palace Master was the Heavenly God Palace itself—an extremely powerful faction!
"I didn't antagonize him. He covets a treasure of mine," Ye Yunfei replied calmly.
"A treasure?
You mean... that pagoda?
It's an Emperor-Grade artifact?"
Xuanlong Daozhang was taken aback, immediately thinking of the pagoda that had appeared beside Ye Yunfei earlier.
Naturally, he could perceive that the pagoda's aura was extraordinary, releasing energy stronger than even Half-Emperor artifacts, so he guessed it was likely an Emperor-Grade artifact.
However, he hadn't asked about it because it was Ye Yunfei's secret—only now could he not resist questioning.
"Yes, it is indeed an Emperor-Grade artifact.
It's the Heavenly Dao Tower," Ye Yunfei replied, staring at Xuanlong Daozhang with a somewhat amused expression.
Earlier, Hun Lao had publicly manifested the Heavenly Dao Tower. Ye Yunfei knew that from now on, more and more people would learn that the Heavenly Dao Tower was on him, so he had no intention of concealing it further.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xuanlong Daozhang could not help but gasp in astonishment.
The Heavenly Dao Tower was an Emperor-Grade artifact of great renown!
"To think the Heavenly Dao Tower is actually on you!
No wonder the Heavenly God Palace Master came to the Feixian Continent personally to find you. So it was for the Heavenly Dao Tower!" Xuanlong Daozhang exclaimed after recovering from his shock, realizing the truth.
"Little Brother, since that pagoda is the Heavenly Dao Tower, why are you telling me?
You must know, the fewer people aware of such a heavy treasure, the better.
Rest assured, however, I harbor no greed.
Besides, with my current strength, I simply lack the ability to snatch something from you anyway," Xuanlong Daozhang said with a bitter smile.
Xuanlong Daozhang was at the mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm. Given Ye Yunfei's current strength, facing a mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert was somewhat challenging, but making a safe retreat would still be easy.
Precisely because of this, Ye Yunfei had told Xuanlong Daozhang about the Heavenly Dao Tower.
"In the coming days, many powerhouses will come looking for me.
Staying with me will implicate you," Ye Yunfei said to Xuanlong Daozhang.
"Everyone in the entire Tianxiong Domain knows I'm with you now. Even if I leave you, many will definitely come looking for me, hoping to find you through me.
We're already in the same boat.
Moreover, I'm not someone afraid of death. Staying together and cooperating makes us stronger," Xuanlong Daozhang replied.
"Alright then," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei could tell that this Xuanlong Daozhang was a man of sentiment and loyalty. Otherwise, Ye Yunfei wouldn't have associated with him.
"The Heavenly God Palace Master has discovered your trail. He'll surely try every means to find you next," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"It's fine.
Let him come.
Sooner or later, he and I will have to face off; it's unavoidable.
I believe it won't be long before I no longer fear him.
At this stage, him putting some pressure on me might actually be a beneficial form of tempering," Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Little Brother, Cai Feng wants her main body to emerge. Why don't we go to where Cai Feng's main body is buried now and help it emerge? Then we'll have another powerful helper.
Back in the day, Cai Feng's combat prowess was no worse than mine," Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly suggested to Ye Yunfei.
"That's good too.
Alright, prepare yourself. Later, I'll help you attempt a breakthrough to the late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm.
You've been stuck at the mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm for a very long time, and you've experienced self-burial and re-emergence. Your accumulation is more than sufficient," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said to Xuanlong Daozhang.
"Attempt a breakthrough to the Heavenly Boundary Realm?
I've long thought about that. Unfortunately, breaking through realms isn't easy. When cultivation reaches the Heavenly Boundary Realm or Half-Emperor realm, wanting to take even half a step forward is often extremely difficult. It's not about accumulation; it's about one's innate talent, mental state, willpower, and that elusive thing called fortune," Xuanlong Daozhang was taken aback by Ye Yunfei's words, then answered.
"If I say you can, you can.
Trust me.
I'll refine a batch of medicinal pills to assist you in breaking through," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Alright!
Little Brother, I trust you.
You're young, but your vision and knowledge far surpass mine. Sometimes I truly suspect you're an older monster than I am," Xuanlong Daozhang replied.
"Then it's settled. Let's set off now for where Cai Feng's main body is buried!" Xuanlong Daozhang said.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei nodded.
At the Sword Emperor Pavilion Headquarters.
Boom...
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from a certain cultivation peak, like a thick column of wolf smoke, soaring turbulently into the sky.
"Hahaha...
I've finally broken through to Half-Emperor!"
An old man laughed heartily at the sky.
The sky above this peak had just experienced a terrifying lightning tribulation, after which this old man had broken through to Half-Emperor.
"Congratulations, Fifth Elder, on successfully breaking through to Half-Emperor!"
A large group of Sword Emperor Pavilion experts gathered around, congratulating the old man.
"Our Sword Emperor Pavilion has gained a total of three new Half-Emperor experts during this period!
The heaven and earth mutation some time ago didn't just allow the younger generation's power to surge greatly; us old folks also benefited immensely!"
"Our Sword Emperor Pavilion gained three Half-Emperiors in a short time. While it's related to the heaven and earth mutation some time ago, the more important factor is our Sword Emperor Pavilion's rising fortune!
I ask you, among the three thousand worlds, how many major factions can produce three Half-Emperor experts in such a short time?
Moreover, judging by the current trend, it's possible our Sword Emperor Pavilion might birth even more Half-Emperor experts!" a white-haired elder declared.
"That makes sense," the other high-ranking members nodded in agreement.
"Pavilion Master, Elder Li and others say they have urgent matters to report to you immediately!"
Suddenly, an elder hurried over to report.
"Oh?
Alright, let them come," a majestic middle-aged man nodded.
This middle-aged man was precisely the Pavilion Master of the Sword Emperor Pavilion!
A Half-Emperor expert!
A moment later, four elders arrived before the Pavilion Master as if flying.
These four elders were precisely the four Heavenly Boundary Realm experts who had gone to the Tianxiong Domain earlier to pursue and kill Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang!
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, we have news about the Heavenly Dao Tower..."
The four elders recounted their experience in the Tianxiong Domain.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower!
Hahaha...
Excellent! To think the Heavenly Dao Tower is actually on that brat!
Even the Heavenly God Palace Master from the Xianling Realm came to the Feixian Continent wanting to snatch the Heavenly Dao Tower.
However, the Feixian Continent is our Sword Emperor Pavilion's territory. The Heavenly Dao Tower rightfully belongs to our Sword Emperor Pavilion!"
After listening to the report from the four elders, the Pavilion Master laughed excitedly.
"If we can get our hands on the Heavenly Dao Tower, the hope for our three Supreme Elders to impact the Heavenly Emperor realm will be even greater. I can also use the Heavenly Dao Tower to comprehend the dao of impacting the Heavenly Emperor realm!
This is an extraordinary treasure!" The Pavilion Master's eyes were full of greed.
