"Next, it’s time to break through my realm. At the same time, let the Nine Divine Beasts devour and refine another batch of resources to increase their combat power."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment, his thoughts internal.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took out another large batch of cultivation resources and began to assail his energy realm. Simultaneously, he released the Nine Divine Beasts to absorb and refine the resources.
Boom...
The golden sphere representing the Eighth Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture also rushed out from his dantian, refining and absorbing the cultivation resources piled around him.
One month later, Ye Yunfei finally welcomed the Lightning Tribulation.
Leaving the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei found a location within the Tianjin Forbidden Land and began to undergo the tribulation.
After weathering the Lightning Tribulation, Ye Yunfei broke through to the late stage of the World Fusion Realm!
The Nine Divine Beasts had devoured a massive amount of resources during that month, and their combat power had risen significantly as well!
"Boss, I'm out of seclusion!"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a voice transmission from Ice Demon.
Last time, after obtaining a large pile of Ten Thousand Year Ice Dragon Fruits, Ice Demon had immediately entered seclusion to cultivate.
"After refining so many Ten Thousand Year Ice Dragon Fruits, how much has your strength improved?"
Ye Yunfei returned to the Phantom Tower and stood before Ice Demon, asking curiously.
"The Ten Thousand Year Ice Dragon Fruit is immensely beneficial for my cultivation. During this session of seclusion cultivation, I successively broke through and upgraded my bloodline five times. My current combat power is roughly equivalent to the early stage of the World Fusion Realm," Ice Demon answered after sensing the energy within his own body.
"Your progress is indeed substantial! But it's still not enough. The enemies we will face next will be very powerful. Your current combat power is still somewhat insufficient," Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
Over the years, Ice Demon had constantly remained within the Phantom Tower in seclusion cultivation, with ample cultivation time. Now, after refining a large pile of Ten Thousand Year Ice Dragon Fruits and consecutively breaking through his bloodline, his strength had truly increased greatly. However, the enemies Ye Yunfei had to face were also growing increasingly formidable!
Ye Yunfei understood that next he would be facing opponents at the Half-Emperor level!
"I still have a batch of cultivation resources with ice and cold attributes here. Take them for your cultivation," Ye Yunfei said, taking out another large batch of icy resources and handing them to Ice Demon.
"Boss, I’ve already cultivated in seclusion for a very long time. What I need most now is actual experience and combat," Ice Demon naturally did not stand on ceremony with Ye Yunfei. He accepted the cultivation resources and then spoke.
"I understand. Don't worry, if there are opportunities for real combat or experience, I will let you participate. For now, you should go and continue cultivating," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Master, I’m out of seclusion too! After refining the Thousand Illusions Hundred Transformations Seven-Colored Illusion Stone, my bloodline has consecutively broken through and upgraded three times!"
At this moment, Hu Miao also emerged from seclusion and came excitedly before Ye Yunfei.
"Very good," Ye Yunfei said with a smile, sensing Hu Miao's aura and nodding.
"These are all cultivation resources containing illusion path energy and laws. Take them to continue cultivating. I know your situation is the same as Da Bing's, needing actual combat and experience. I will let you out when there’s a chance," Ye Yunfei said.
Thus, Ice Demon and Hu Miao, taking the cultivation resources given by Ye Yunfei, went to resume seclusion cultivation.
"Kid, they've all gotten their share. What about mine?"
A flash of golden light, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, asking bluntly.
"I knew you'd come asking. Don't worry, you won't be left out," Ye Yunfei said with a laugh, taking out a large batch of spirit pills and natural treasures and handing them to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Next, Ye Yunfei separately found Xuanlong Daozhang, Huang Shang, and the green-robed elder from the Light Faction, gifting each a large batch of cultivation resources.
Not long before, when Ye Yunfei helped the Celestial Gold Race break the special restriction within the altar in that underground palace, he had received a large batch of treasures gifted by those elders. Now, Ye Yunfei took out a portion of those treasures to distribute to those around him.
"How is Senior Cai Feng now?"
Ye Yunfei came to the side of a crystal-made coffin and asked. Cai Feng's main body was within this coffin, and Xuanlong Daozhang had been guarding it nearby.
"Cai Feng's condition is good. She should be able to truly revive very soon," Xuanlong Daozhang said.
"That's good. Let's wait a while!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Half a day later.
The lid of the coffin suddenly automatically sprang open. Cai Feng abruptly stood up, her face filled with pleasant surprise.
"Cai Feng, you’ve finally succeeded in reviving! Both of us have successfully revived now!"
Xuanlong Daozhang was extremely excited and immediately rushed forward to take Cai Feng’s hand.
"Many thanks, Young Master Ye. Without Young Master Ye's help, I likely wouldn't have had much chance to revive," Cai Feng bowed to Ye Yunfei, expressing her gratitude.
"Senior, there’s no need for such courtesy. We are all on the same side," Ye Yunfei hurriedly returned the bow.
"Senior, I have already prepared some elixirs in advance. Take them, consume and refine them. They can help your strength recover to its previous peak condition in a short time! Moreover, they can allow you to make a breakthrough in the near future, raising your strength to another level," Ye Yunfei said, taking out a batch of elixirs and handing them to Cai Feng.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"
Cai Feng accepted the elixirs, very moved.
She knew the effects of the elixirs refined by Ye Yunfei were exceptionally good.
"Seniors, if there’s nothing else, you should both enter seclusion cultivation here. When I need your help, I will let you out," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright."
Both Xuanlong Daozhang and Cai Feng nodded.
Ye Yunfei then exited the Phantom Tower and found the five elders of the Celestial Gold Race.
During this period, the five elders of the Celestial Gold Race had already brought a group of their clansmen out from that Small World and established an outpost within the Tianjin Forbidden Land. That Small World would serve as the true headquarters of the Celestial Gold Race.
Ye Yunfei discovered that apart from the five elders, the other Celestial Gold clansmen were also very powerful. The body of every Celestial Gold clansman was incomparably sturdy, possessing formidable resistance to blows. Possessing a sturdy body was a racial talent of the Celestial Gold Race!
"Five Elders, I am preparing to leave," Ye Yunfei said to the five elders.
"Young Master Ye, won’t you stay longer? We were planning to treat you properly," the Great Elder said.
The other elders also warmly urged Ye Yunfei to stay.
"Thank you for your kindness, elders. However, recently I’ve always had a sense of foreboding, as if something has happened. So I wish to go outside and investigate as soon as possible. In the future, I can come back to visit you whenever I have time," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Very well, in that case, we won’t press you to stay. Young Master Ye, from now on, this Tianjin Forbidden Land will be our race’s territory. You are always welcome to return as our guest," the Great Elder said.
"This is our Celestial Gold Race’s identity token. Take it. In the future, by holding this token, you can freely enter and exit here. Also, if in the future you need our help but cannot come personally, you can send someone with this token to find us here," the Great Elder said, taking out a golden token engraved with the Celestial Gold Race’s totem and handing it to Ye Yunfei.
"Many thanks, Great Elder," Ye Yunfei said gratefully, accepting the token.
Ye Yunfei then bid farewell to the five elders and turned to leave.
