From afar, one could see strands of resplendent and dazzling dao laws of immortality swirling around Su Qingluo's body, setting her off as radiant and sacred, as if a celestial maiden had descended to the mortal world.
This breakthrough would elevate her to Earth Immortal!
"Qing Luo, I will send another batch of resources in for you.
Breaking through to become an Earth Immortal is a rather arduous and lengthy process, but I have faith in you. This time, you will definitely succeed!"
A voice, aged yet gentle, rang out and slowly transmitted into Su Qingluo's ears.
"Great changes are about to befall our corner of space-time. Once you break through to Earth Immortal, you will need to lead our Reincarnation Palace to avoid danger and seek fortune. The burden on your shoulders is heavy."
The voice continued.
Whoosh...
As the voice faded, various cultivation resources continuously fell from high above, piling up around Su Qingluo's body like small mountains.
"Do not worry, Ancestor. I understand," Su Qingluo replied.
Within the old headquarters of the Ziwei Sect in the Shengzhou Tianxiong Domain of the Feixian Continent.
Deep underground, inside the Phantom Tower.
Clang!
Ye Yunfei suddenly swung his hand in a slashing motion. A hazy sword aura appeared, humming and causing the surrounding space to warp continuously, seemingly unable to bear the force and on the verge of shattering at any moment.
"One Hundred Swords Returned to One!"
Ye Yunfei looked at this sword aura and muttered to himself.
"It's still not enough!"
Ye Yunfei felt unsatisfied.
The Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art, and he had only cultivated to the level of one hundred swords returning to one? What kind of achievement was that? He was still far from the goal.
Next, Ye Yunfei continued his cultivation.
While practicing his swordsmanship, Ye Yunfei was also using that black Small Grinding Mill to cultivate his soul body and Soul Force Energy.
The small mill hovered beside his head, revolving gently.
Every so often, Ye Yunfei would channel a portion of his Soul Force Energy into the Small Grinding Mill to be tempered.
One could say that Ye Yunfei's soul body and Soul Force Energy were constantly improving!
This Small Grinding Mill was practically a divine artifact for cultivating the soul body and Soul Force Energy!
Time flew by. Inside the Phantom Tower, more than half a year passed.
"Three Hundred Swords Returned to One!"
After more than half a year, Ye Yunfei had cultivated to the state of three hundred swords returning to one.
"The progress is decent enough.
However, my proficiency in this Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art sword scripture is still too lacking.
I must continue working hard!"
Ye Yunfei casually swung a sword. This sword was formed by the instantaneous convergence of three hundred sword auras. It sliced through space like slicing through tofu, its sharp and incomparably fierce aura flickering across space, continuously piercing through layers of the void as it slashed into the distance.
"Both my swordsmanship proficiency and Soul Force Energy have improved considerably over this half year," Ye Yunfei declared aloud.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Force Energy. Vast and mighty Soul Force Energy surged and howled around his head, resembling massive tornadoes, causing the surrounding space to warp and distort incessantly.
Originally invisible, the Soul Force Energy now seemed to have a tangible form, visible to the naked eye!
Rumble...
Suddenly, a long sword shot out from within Ye Yunfei's head, slicing through the space ahead with a hissing sound.
Soul Sword!
With Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power level, the Soul Sword he could unleash was probably capable of instantly killing ordinary Half-Emperors now!
Rattle...
Numerous pitch-black chains suddenly shot out from within Ye Yunfei's head. Dense and interwoven, they shot swiftly in all directions.
The Puppet Soul-Thread Secret Technique!
"I should have cultivated this secret technique of the Soul Clan to its most profound level now!"
Ye Yunfei looked at the black chains and said softly.
"I should now be able to instantly subdue beings at the Celestial Realm level.
I'm just not sure if I can subdue a Half-Emperor.
I must find time to attempt it properly next time." Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"The One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower I can manifest now should also be very powerful. Dealing with Half-Emperors would be effortless."
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, a pure white, flawless flower bud slowly bloomed not far ahead.
Next, Ye Yunfei comprehensively assessed his current overall strength and found that he could now easily crush Half-Emperors!
"From now on, my opponents are no longer Half-Emperors, but Heavenly Emperors.
Moreover, it likely won't be long before the enemies I face are Immortal Realm powerhouses!"
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
"Therefore, I need to cultivate even more diligently from here on!
My strength is still far from sufficient!"
Thinking of his current circumstances, Ye Yunfei sighed.
"Continue cultivating!"
After some thought, Ye Yunfei took out another batch of sword crystals and resumed cultivating the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art.
It was at this moment that a large number of Half-Emperor experts began pouring into the Feixian Continent.
All of these Half-Emperor experts had come to hunt down Ye Yunfei!
One after another, Half-Emperor experts with sharp and fierce auras appeared above the Feixian Continent. They acted with great fanfare, not bothering to conceal their presence, and descended directly towards the Feixian Continent below.
The sudden appearance of so many Half-Emperor experts quickly drew the attention of the native inhabitants of the Feixian Continent.
"Why have so many Half-Emperor experts suddenly come to our Feixian Continent?"
"Has something major happened?"
...
The natives of the Feixian Continent were all filled with doubt and uncertainty.
However, some of the native Half-Emperor experts of the Feixian Continent had also joined the pursuit of Ye Yunfei. These native Half-Emperor experts explained the situation to the other inhabitants.
Soon after, the natives of the Feixian Continent finally understood what was happening.
The reason so many Half-Emperor experts had suddenly come to the Feixian Continent was to hunt down Ye Yunfei!
"It's Ye Yunfei again!
That kid is actually still alive!
I remember the Three Great Heavenly Emperors once issued a Heavenly Emperor Decree to hunt him down before. Who would have thought he'd survive until now."
"To have all Three Great Heavenly Emperors simultaneously issue a Heavenly Emperor Decree for his pursuit—this kid is definitely number one in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
That’s incredibly audacious!"
"I'm starting to feel a bit of admiration for this kid!"
...
Discussions about Ye Yunfei were taking place everywhere across the Feixian Continent.
Ye Yunfei's name had already spread across the Feixian Continent in the past. Now, his name once again set the Feixian Continent abuzz.
"Let's go check the Shengzhou Tianxiong Domain!
Ye Yunfei used to be active there before!
And I've heard the old headquarters of the Ziwei Sect is also located there!"
Some of the Half-Emperor experts pursuing Ye Yunfei headed towards the Shengzhou Tianxiong Domain.
These Half-Emperor experts had long since investigated Ye Yunfei's background clearly, knowing he was a member of the Ziwei Sect.
Very soon, a few Half-Emperor experts arrived in the Shengzhou Tianxiong Domain. They stood in the air above the old headquarters site of the Ziwei Sect and released their Soul Force Energy to meticulously probe the land below.
Powerful strands of Soul Force Energy swept majestically back and forth over this land, sensing every inch of ground, even probing deep into the earth itself.
"Hmm? It seems there are a few Half-Emperor experts up above, searching for something."
Hun Lao was the first to notice. He sent a message to Ye Yunfei, who was currently cultivating.
