"The power of a single Buddha Body Seal is equivalent to a full-force strike from a Mid-Level Half-Emperor expert! Excellent! With these ten seals, even if I encounter a Half-Emperor head-on in the future, I'll have a means of preserving my life! The regret is, these ten Buddha Body Seals are single-use treasures; they explode once thrown."
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Then, Ye Yunfei refined the remaining nine Buddha Body Seals.
"Seniors, Hu Miao, Old Huang, Big Ice, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm... everyone, come over."
Ye Yunfei called everyone to his side.
Xuanlong Daozhang, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Ice Demon, the green-robed elder of the Light Faction, and others gathered around Ye Yunfei.
"I've selected a batch of resources suitable for each of you. Take them for your cultivation," Ye Yunfei said, taking out a large quantity of treasures and beginning to distribute them.
"Big Brother, these spiritual fruits contain astonishing ice energy and ice-based treasures. They're perfect for me! I can advance my bloodline again!" The Ice Demon said excitedly, holding a large pile of Ten Thousand Year Ice Dragon Fruits.
"What are these bamboo stalks called? They're simply too suitable for me! Truly a supreme treasure for us ghost cultivators!" Huang Shang was also very excited, having received three stalks of Five Thousand Year Soul Bamboo.
"These are Five Thousand Year Soul Bamboos. They are indeed very suitable for ghost cultivators," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"This is... the legendary Thousand Illusions Hundred Transformations Seven-Colored Illusion Stone! Master, this is fantastic! The volume of this Illusion Stone is so large. If I refine it into my body, it will greatly amplify my illusion techniques! Master, you're too good to me!" Hu Miao also received treasures suited for her and cried out happily.
"Alright. In the time to come, everyone must cultivate diligently. I believe you all already know this: my enemies from now on will be Half-Emperor level experts. With your current strength, I'm afraid you wouldn't even qualify to be cannon fodder," Ye Yunfei said with a wave of his hand, his voice loud and clear.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, everyone fell silent.
Though they usually spent most of their time inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei had not isolated their perception of the outside world, so Hu Miao and the others could often sense external events and were aware of many things Ye Yunfei experienced.
"Young friend, the speed of your growth is terrifying. Not long ago, when I first met you, I was still qualified to protect you. Now, I'm no longer qualified. It seems this old bones needs to push myself harder and seize the time to improve my strength. Otherwise, I might be left far behind in the future, unable to even see your back," Xuanlong Daozhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Senior, your talent is actually quite good. There is still plenty of room for improvement in your realm and strength. As long as you're willing to put in the effort, I believe you can definitely become a Half-Emperor," Ye Yunfei said with a laugh.
"Really? If I can become a Half-Emperor, I'll be satisfied!" Xuanlong Daozhang's eyes lit up upon hearing this. After following Ye Yunfei for so long, Ye Yunfei's vision, knowledge, and methods had deeply impressed him. He knew that if Ye Yunfei said so, it meant there was real hope.
"Of course it's true," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Haha... Young friend, I believe you. Good. Starting now, I will cultivate desperately, striving to break through to Half-Emperor as soon as possible. Then, I'll be able to strut across the Feixian Continent with pride!" Xuanlong Daozhang laughed heartily.
Half-Emperor experts belonged to the top echelon of experts on the Feixian Continent, standing at the pinnacle of this continent's pyramid, with few daring to provoke them.
"Alright, everyone, seize the time and cultivate. I'm also about to start my own cultivation," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Hu Miao, go control the flying boat's flight first," Ye Yunfei instructed Hu Miao.
"Okay," Hu Miao replied, leaving the Phantom Tower and returning to the green flying boat.
"This young man seems to possess a kind of magical charisma. All beings who stay by his side gradually become influenced by him, naturally turning into cultivation maniacs. It seems I must also cultivate diligently in the future," Cai Feng gazed at Ye Yunfei with an appreciative glint in her eyes, silently musing to herself.
Ye Yunfei found a secluded spot within the Phantom Tower and began his closed-door cultivation.
"First, refine this pool of Yellow Path True Gold essence!"
Ye Yunfei transported all the Yellow Path True Gold essence from the spatial ring, suspending it before him. It transformed into a small golden pool, radiating dazzling golden light.
With a swishing sound, Ye Yunfei moved, sitting down within that pool of Yellow Path True Gold essence, beginning to absorb and refine it.
The essence of the Yellow Path True Gold began to continuously seep into Ye Yunfei's body.
Roughly one month later.
Ye Yunfei finally finished refining the entire pool of Yellow Path True Gold essence.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had completely transformed into a golden humanoid statue, his entire body emanating brilliant golden light.
"The hardness of my physical body has now ascended to the next level. I estimate my body can easily withstand a full-force attack from a Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion expert. Even a Half-Emperor expert would find it very difficult to shatter my body. Of course, even if a Half-Emperor could break my body, it would still be very hard for them to kill me completely," Ye Yunfei sensed the strength of his body and thought to himself.
Since re-embarking on the cultivation path in this life, Ye Yunfei had always placed great emphasis on training his physical body. Finally achieving this level could be considered a small accomplishment.
"Alright, first, elevate spatial energy, temporal energy, and Soul Force energy, then impact my realm, raising it another level," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and spoke to himself.
"Also, I now possess sufficient resources to elevate the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel by another level in a short time," Ye Yunfei added.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of crystals and various other resources, piling them up around him.
Then, he began cultivating.
Ye Yunfei first released the Nine Divine Beasts to devour the resources piled around them. Simultaneously, he refined and absorbed spatial crystals, temporal crystals, and various treasures containing Soul Force energy.
The amount of resources contained within the two spatial rings Ye Yunfei obtained this time was truly massive. The Nine Divine Beasts devoured various resources incessantly, feasting heartily with abandon.
Six months later, the Nine Divine Beasts had already consumed a staggering amount of resources.
Ye Yunfei roughly estimated that in these six months, the Nine Divine Beasts had devoured roughly two-fifths of the treasures from those two spatial rings—an astonishing quantity!
"These Nine Divine Beasts are now individually capable of fighting Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion experts! I wonder if, when combined and jointly pushing that great wheel, they can contend against a Low-Level Half-Emperor? Next time, I must find an opportunity to test it," Ye Yunfei felt a flicker of anticipation.
Ye Yunfei understood that while a Low-Level Half-Emperor was only one level higher than a Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion expert, the difference in strength was vast.
A single Low-Level Half-Emperor could easily defeat and kill dozens of Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion experts. Before a Low-Level Half-Emperor, a Heavenly Boundary Realm Completion expert had no ability to fight back!
