‘Excellent.
Tell them to hurry.’
The Heavenly God Palace Master nodded.
‘Even if it weren’t for the Heavenly Dao Tower, our Heavenly God Palace absolutely cannot let Ye Yunfei get away.’
The Heavenly God Palace Master thought for a moment before speaking again, his tone icy.
A junior from a low-level world had actually caused such trouble for the prestigious Heavenly God Palace, and even he, the Palace Master himself, had come out personally yet still couldn’t deal with him!
From the Canghuang Realm, to the Primordial Continent, and now to the Feixian Continent, he had personally gone after Ye Yunfei!
But until now, he had been unable to do anything about him!
He hadn't even managed to harm a single finger on Ye Yunfei’s hand up to this point!
This made him, the dignified Heavenly God Palace Master, feel utterly humiliated!
‘Please rest assured, Palace Master. Although this Ye Yunfei is monstrous, with our Heavenly God Palace’s strength, we will capture him sooner or later!
Palace Master, how about this: you transfer two or three more Half-Emperors over to deal with Ye Yunfei together. That would give us a greater chance of success.’
The old wizard of the Heavenly God Palace could well understand the Palace Master's current mood. After some thought, he offered this suggestion.
‘That’s fine too. Ye Yunfei possesses a Buddha Body Seal, a high-level Buddhist treasure. Dealing with him will be much harder now. Moreover, the Sword Emperor Pavilion is also hunting him, surely aiming for the Heavenly Dao Tower as well. The Sword Emperor Pavilion's strength is not weak, and they are a local major power in the Feixian Continent. They will be strong competitors for us in seizing the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Issue the order immediately. Transfer two Half-Emperors to assist.’
After thinking for a bit, the Heavenly God Palace Master nodded in agreement.
‘I will transmit a message back to headquarters at once, Palace Master,’ an elder by his side said immediately.
‘By the way, Palace Master, your true body has been in closed-door cultivation, attempting to breach the next realm lately. I wonder, what are your chances of success?’
The old wizard suddenly spoke up.
‘If it were before, the chances would not be great. However, in recent times, the energy and laws within the Immortal Tomb Realm have increased dramatically. All living beings find cultivation breakthroughs easier now than before, myself included,’ the Heavenly God Palace Master said after a moment's thought.
‘Does that mean the Palace Master’s chances of success in this closed-door cultivation attempt are much greater than before?
You have accumulated in the Half-Emperor realm for an immensely long time, Palace Master, and your talent is undoubtedly top-grade. It seems this time, the Palace Master is sure to succeed in his breakthrough!’
Upon hearing this, the old wizard couldn't help but tremble slightly, his expression turning excited.
‘The old wizard is right. With the Palace Master’s qualifications, he is sure to succeed in his breakthrough!’
The other Heavenly God Palace experts surrounding them were also extremely excited.
Once the Heavenly God Palace Master broke through to become a Heavenly Emperor, he would become a top-tier figure, a sovereign-like existence in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. The Heavenly God Palace would also leap to become the most powerful super-faction across the Three Thousand Worlds!
At that point, the Heavenly God Palace’s sphere of influence would not be limited to just the Immortal Tomb Realm but would encompass the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
And they, as Heavenly God Palace experts, would see their status and position follow suit. Wherever they went in any of the Three Thousand Worlds, no one would dare provoke them!
‘Actually, whether I succeed in breaking through during this seclusion is not for me to decide. It depends on the will of heaven.’
The Heavenly God Palace Master shook his head.
‘Depends on the will of heaven?’
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Heavenly God Palace experts were all taken aback.
‘Palace Master, what do you mean? Could it be…?’
The old wizard’s expression shifted as he asked.
‘Exactly.
You should know, old wizard, that there has always been a legend circulating throughout the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds: the grand Dao laws of heaven have decreed that there is a limit to the number of Heavenly Emperors that can exist in a single era.
In the last thousand years, there have only been three Heavenly Emperors in our Three Thousand Worlds. That shows that the grand Dao laws of this era permit the existence of only three Heavenly Emperors. No other being, regardless of their talent, can break this decree to ascend to Heavenly Emperor.
However, some time ago, every world in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds underwent a sudden transformation. The existing energies and laws were greatly enhanced.
What I most want to know now is whether the number of Heavenly Emperors permitted by the grand Dao laws of the Three Thousand Worlds has also changed.
If the number permitted has now increased, then I have a chance of successfully breaking through. Otherwise, no matter how long I’ve accumulated or how high my talent, it’s useless.
In short, whether I succeed this time depends on the will of heaven.
Of course, if I could obtain the Heavenly Dao Tower to assist my cultivation breakthrough, the chance would certainly be much greater.
Because apart from my true body, there are currently a large number of Half-Emperors in the Three Thousand Worlds in seclusion, all striving to break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm with all their might.
The competition I face is fierce!’
The Heavenly God Palace Master sighed lightly as he spoke.
‘The Palace Master is right.’
The old wizard nodded in agreement after hearing the Palace Master's words.
Soon after, two more Half-Emperor experts from the Heavenly God Palace arrived in the Feixian Continent, bringing a large group of Heavenly God Palace elites to join the operation to capture Ye Yunfei.
Naturally, the Heavenly God Palace’s large-scale movement into the Feixian Continent caught the attention of many major factions there.
Quickly, some major forces, using various channels, managed to discover the reason behind the Heavenly God Palace's high-profile deployment to the Feixian Continent: they were actually pursuing a junior named Ye Yunfei.
Furthermore, the Sword Emperor Pavilion had also dispatched a large force within the Feixian Continent to track down this Ye Yunfei.
When the news spread, many factions and inhabitants of the Feixian Continent were greatly shocked.
‘Who exactly is this youngster named Ye Yunfei?
How can he have provoked both super-factions, the Sword Emperor Pavilion and the Heavenly God Palace, causing both to send Half-Emperor experts after him?’
Countless people were puzzled.
Inside the Tianjin Forbidden Land,
Ye Yunfei controlled the green flying boat, continuing forward.
‘This land contains many formations. Some of them are extremely fearsome; even I cannot decipher them right away.
We need to be careful.’
Ye Yunfei looked at the crimson earth below, his expression somewhat grave.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei had already discovered several ancient formations of exceedingly high complexity.
Even Ye Yunfei couldn't decipher them immediately. Just imagine how terrifying these formations were!
‘Why did Senior Cai Feng bury her true body in such a dangerous place all those years ago?’
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown and ask.
‘It was for safety.
Back then, I was being hunted by the War God Temple, and many knew of my relationship with Cai Feng.
So, after discussing it, we decided to find places to separately bury our true bodies, severing our vitality, to escape the pursuit of the War God Temple using this method.
Both of us were only at the Heavenly Boundary Realm level at the time. Compared to the War God Temple, we were just two ants. We had no choice but to use such methods to avoid danger.
If we had buried our bodies in ordinary places, given the War God Temple’s power, they could probably have hired any prophecy master to easily locate our bodies.
Only by burying them within these famed perilous lands and death zones could we possibly evade the War God Temple’s tracking.’
Xuanlong Daozhang replied.
‘I see.
Your approach was indeed correct.’
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei nodded.
‘All of this was your fault! You were foolishly overconfident, going to steal from the War God Temple’s headquarters, no less stealing rebellious heaven-defying treasures those old fossils of the War God Temple used to prolong their lives! You dragged me down with you!’
Cai Feng, standing to the side, scolded him.
‘Yes, yes, Cai Feng. You’re right, I did implicate you.
Go on and scold me a few more times. It’ll do you good to vent.’
Xuanlong Daozhang carefully fawned with an apologetic smile.
‘We’re here! It’s right ahead not far, in that desolate valley!
Cai Feng, your true body is buried there!’
Suddenly, Xuanlong Daozhang pointed at a valley encircled by several bald mountains in the distance and exclaimed joyfully.
‘That’s indeed the location. But… why can’t I sense my true body?’
Cai Feng’s face first lit up with joy, then abruptly changed, a bad feeling creeping over her.
