"Alright, kid, the Primordial Continent is just ahead. I'm quite eager to see the Heaven-Deceiving Art you've mentioned," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well, I'll perform it now," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Ye Yunfei then sat down cross-legged and formed a peculiar hand seal with his hands, a powerful spacetime energy aura instantly radiating from him.
He proceeded to form one hand seal after another, while the energy within his body circulated along specific channels.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Yunfei's aura suddenly changed. It continuously receded, growing weaker and weaker.
Hun Lao observed that while Ye Yunfei was sitting there, visible to the naked eye, it was difficult to sense his presence using Soul Power perception.
"Marvelous indeed!" Hun Lao exclaimed, surprised and delighted.
Several hours later.
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"Hun Lao, I have successfully performed the Heaven-Deceiving Art. What do you think? In my current state, can I deceive the perception of the world's dao of the Primordial Continent?" Ye Yunfei inquired.
Hun Lao possessed extremely high attainments in spacetime energy and laws, surpassing even Ye Yunfei in certain aspects. Therefore, Ye Yunfei valued his opinion.
"Hmm... Considering your current state, I believe if you enter the Primordial Continent carefully, avoiding reckless actions, you might just barely manage to fool the world's dao," Hun Lao replied after carefully sensing Ye Yunfei's aura for a moment.
"If I break through to the Half-Emperor realm and then perform this Heaven-Deceiving Art, the effect would be much better. For now, this is the best I can achieve," Ye Yunfei said.
"Master, we are about to enter the Primordial Continent. Master, your realm has already exceeded what the Primordial Continent can accommodate. Once you return, you might face rejection from the world's dao laws," Ye Yunfei suddenly raised this concern, addressing Zisheng Zhenjun.
"Don't worry. I am merely a Clone, its power can be high or low. Besides, I originally belong to the Primordial Continent. My true body could freely come and go from the Primordial Continent in the past, let alone this Clone. Even if the Primordial Continent truly rejects this Clone of mine, I have ways to cope. At worst, I can disperse a portion of its power," Zisheng Zhenjun answered with a laugh.
"That makes sense! Master's true body's strength is certainly greater than this Clone's, and since he could freely traverse the Primordial Continent before, he naturally has his methods," Ye Yunfei said, no longer worried after hearing Zisheng Zhenjun's words.
"Kid, you needn't worry about your master. He definitely has his ways. Moreover, he is only a Clone; it can indeed disperse part of its power if necessary," Hun Lao stated.
"Alright, then. I'm going in," Ye Yunfei said.
He then employed his spacetime energy and laws, beginning to traverse towards the Primordial Continent.
A short while later.
Ye Yunfei successfully traversed back to the Primordial Continent!
The last time Ye Yunfei left the Primordial Continent, he was merely at the Star Gazing Realm. Now he was at the Heavenly Boundary Realm, having improved vastly in both realm and actual combat prowess.
"Indeed, my Heaven-Deceiving Art can barely deceive the world's dao perception of the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei said, standing deep within the sky of the Primordial Continent. After waiting for a while and finding nothing amiss, he let out a sigh of relief.
Generally, if a powerful expert barging in from the outside world was detected by a world's dao, it would react immediately, utilizing the energy and laws of the entire world to expel the intruder.
Since nothing had happened during the time Ye Yunfei had been inside, it indicated that the world's dao of the Primordial Continent either had not perceived Ye Yunfei as a powerful intruder or simply did not consider him one.
"Excellent! I never imagined you possessed such a brilliant Heaven-Deceiving Art! It seems that after you break through to Half-Emperor, you'll be able to enter any world among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Hun Lao praised.
"That should be the case. However, after performing this art, one cannot act recklessly. Once actions reveal excessive energy aura, the world's dao will immediately detect it and forcibly expel you, and it might even attract the Ancient Covenant," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Indeed. So in the future, when you use this art to enter weaker worlds, be especially cautious. If it ultimately attracts the Ancient Covenant, you'll likely be unable to withstand it. The Ancient Covenant is extremely tyrannical; once it deems you violated the agreement, it will strike forcefully to eliminate you," Hun Lao cautioned.
"Yes, I'll be careful," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Kid, have you noticed? The energy and laws of the Primordial Continent have greatly improved. I estimate the continent can now give birth to beings at the World Creation Realm, even the World Fusion Realm," Hun Lao suddenly remarked, astonished.
"You are right, Hun Lao! The energy and laws of the Primordial Continent have indeed been significantly elevated! That means Master's Clone won't have to worry about being rejected by the world's dao at all!" Hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei immediately focused his perception and soon revealed a delighted expression.
This Clone of Zisheng Zhenjun was rescued by Ye Yunfei from the Tianliang Sacred Land headquarters in the Tianxiong Domain of Shengzhou, Feixian Continent, possessing strength at the World Fusion Realm.
Now that the Primordial Continent could accommodate beings of the World Fusion Realm, this Clone of Zisheng Zhenjun entering the Primordial Continent would definitely not face any rejection.
"It seems that not long ago, not only did Feixian Continent experience a sudden change in its heaven and earth, with its energy and laws being elevated, but the Primordial Continent did as well!" Ye Yunfei continued.
"I suspect that this happened in most worlds among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds during that time period, not just these two worlds," Hun Lao said.
"Most likely. It appears something significant is truly about to occur in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. And it might be something unfavorable," Ye Yunfei nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Forget about that for now. For you, the most important thing right now is to increase your strength. No matter what happens in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds in the future, as long as you possess sufficient power, there's nothing to fear," Hun Lao advised.
"You're right, Hun Lao," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei then descended towards the Primordial Continent below.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei arrived above the Eastern Barrens, above the headquarters of the Ziwei Sect.
"Master, we have returned," Ye Yunfei said to Zisheng Zhenjun.
"Indeed, we've returned to the Ziwei Sect headquarters," Zisheng Zhenjun's Clone immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower and stood beside Ye Yunfei. Looking down at the familiar headquarters, his eyes slightly reddening, he nodded and spoke.
After observing for a while and finding that the world's dao of the Primordial Continent showed absolutely no rejection towards this Clone of Zisheng Zhenjun, Ye Yunfei felt completely at ease.
