Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and began his seclusion cultivation.
This time, Ye Yunfei intended to first charge at his realm, striving to break through to the Advanced Half-Emperor level!
'Let's also casually cultivate the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel a bit,'
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then released the Nine Divine Beasts, taking out a vast amount of cultivation resources for them to refine and absorb.
Of all the cultivation techniques Ye Yunfei had practiced, the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel was the only one whose exact grade he still hadn't figured out.
Now, the strength of those Nine Divine Beasts was already equivalent to that of Perfected Half-Emperors!
However, Ye Yunfei was already certain that the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel definitely surpassed Emperor-rank techniques!
Because Ye Yunfei could feel that, as long as he provided sufficient energy, these Nine Divine Beasts would one day possess strength on par with that of Heavenly Emperors!
In Ye Yunfei's impression, there was no Emperor-rank technique in the world that could cultivate to such a degree.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei had increasingly high expectations for this technique!
Ye Yunfei took out an astonishingly large batch of cultivation resources, piling them up into mountain-like mounds surrounding his body.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had raided over a dozen major forces within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. The variety and quantity of cultivation resources he had obtained were staggering, too much to count.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ye Yunfei's current wealth surpassed that of the vast majority of factions within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
After taking out the cultivation resources, Ye Yunfei began cultivating.
Ye Yunfei silently thought to himself.
Boom! Rumble...
Ye Yunfei operated the Nine-Yang Scripture. The eight chaotic divine veins within his body simultaneously manifested, with vast amounts of spiritual energy surging vigorously through them.
A golden sphere of light shot out from his dantian, hovering above his head, radiating rolling golden light.
This was the light sphere representing the Ninth Yang realm of the Nine-Yang Scripture!
The Nine-Yang Scripture produced one golden light sphere for each level cultivated. The golden light sphere for the ninth level was the most difficult to cultivate and required the greatest amount of cultivation resources.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei understood that reaching the perfection stage for the ninth level would be relatively difficult!
And once he could cultivate the Nine-Yang Scripture to the Ninth Yang realm, it would signify that he was not far from breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm!
'While I'm at it, I'll also cultivate some Soul Force Energy and my Soul Body!'
Ye Yunfei contemplated, then, with a movement of his will, a small black millstone appeared before his head, slowly rotating.
Both Soul Bodies simultaneously materialized within his soul sea.
Then, both Soul Bodies released streams of Soul Force Energy, which entered the small millstone to be tempered.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei focused solely on cultivation.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
Approximately one year later.
'I'm finally starting the breakthrough!'
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the surging spiritual energy within his body, and spoke with some excitement.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei left the Phantom Tower and appeared in the Chaotic Void outside.
A vast and mighty tribulation of lightning began to descend.
Cascades of brilliant lightning waterfalls plummeted down, carrying infinite destructive auras.
However, this tribulation lightning posed no threat whatsoever to Ye Yunfei; instead, it was a cultivation resource.
Lei Ze appeared beside Ye Yunfei, swallowing mouthfuls of the thunderbolts crashing down from above, its aura continuously rising!
After the better part of a day, the tribulation ceased.
Ye Yunfei had successfully broken through to the Advanced Half-Emperor level!
'The next realm is Perfected Half-Emperor.
Then comes the Heavenly Emperor realm!
It won't be long before I can return to the peak of my previous life!'
Ye Yunfei stood within the Chaotic Void, sensing the powerful spiritual energy within his body, and muttered to himself.
'Only, the circumstances of this life are already different.
In my previous life, a Heavenly Emperor could suppress the entire realm of the Major and Minor Worlds, ruling over the world.
In this life, I fear a Heavenly Emperor won't amount to much anymore.
My cultivation path is still extremely long.'
Ye Yunfei chuckled wryly.
Then, Ye Yunfei returned to the Phantom Tower.
'The strength of these Nine Divine Beasts has already far surpassed that of ordinary Perfected Half-Emperors.
The next time I encounter Half-Emperors, I won't even need to personally intervene. These Nine Divine Beasts and the Blood Clan clone can handle them with ease.'
Ye Yunfei stood before the Nine Divine Beasts, sensing the terrifying energy auras they radiated, and spoke with satisfaction.
'If I break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm in the future, and these Nine Divine Beasts also cultivate to the strength of a Heavenly Emperor, then I alone will possess combat power equivalent to ten Heavenly Emperors. Combined with my accumulated knowledge from my previous life, I will be able to easily crush any Heavenly Emperor within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
And then, I will go settle accounts with the Three Great Heavenly Emperors.'
Ye Yunfei lifted his head, as if gazing beyond into distant space, and gave a cold smile.
It could be said that one of the greatest wishes of Ye Yunfei's rebirth in this life was to seek revenge on the Three Great Heavenly Emperors!
When his strength was still weak before, this thought lay buried deep in Ye Yunfei's heart, not too intense.
Now, Ye Yunfei was already an Advanced Half-Emperor, and it wouldn't be long before he could reach the Heavenly Emperor realm!
The desire for vengeance against the Three Great Heavenly Emperors was growing increasingly strong.
'You all should cultivate diligently as well.
Just speak up about any resources you need, whatever amount, I have plenty.'
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Golden-horned Dragon Silkworm, Situ Kong'er, Daoist Xuanlong, and the others.
Besides Ye Yunfei, a large group of followers were also in closed-door cultivation within the Phantom Tower.
As Ye Yunfei's current strength grew increasingly powerful, he simply didn't need any assistance from others anymore.
Therefore, Hu Miao and the others now spent almost all their time in closed-door cultivation within the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of cultivation resources and distributed them to Hu Miao and the others.
'Alright, next, I'll continue cultivating!'
Ye Yunfei sat down cross-legged within the Phantom Tower and continued his closed-door cultivation.
Ye Yunfei cultivated several techniques simultaneously: the Myriad Swords Return to Unity Supreme Technique, Soul Force Energy, the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, and the Nine-Yang Scripture!
While Ye Yunfei was in closed-door cultivation within the Phantom Tower, a sensational event suddenly occurred throughout the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Many secret realms, Small Worlds, ancient tombs, perilous locations, and forbidden lands—small spaces usually in a closed-off state—suddenly manifested throughout various worlds, their entrances opening.
'Another heaven-and-earth great mutation!
Who knows if this is an ill omen or an auspicious sign!'
'I have this feeling that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds won't remain peaceful hereafter. Something big is bound to happen!'
Faced with this phenomenon, many old antiques performed deductions, appearing somewhat worried.
Meanwhile, the majority of factions and living beings organized parties to enter these suddenly opened secret realms, Small Worlds, ancient tombs, perilous locations, and forbidden lands for exploration and treasure-seeking.
After all, for martial artists of the world, adventure and treasure-hunting were forever the most popular and coveted activities.
Falling Immortal Realm.
The Falling Immortal Realm was one of the core worlds of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
On this day.
Boom! Rumble...
Within the Falling Immortal Realm, an entrance to a Small World suddenly appeared in a remote location!
Vast, billowing gray mist blew out from this Small World.
Simultaneously, waves of mournful wails, roars of resentment, and fierce battle sounds transmitted from within.
'Another Small World has opened!'
It quickly attracted a large group of beings who gathered before the Small World's entrance, peering inside.
'Look, there are many gray remnant souls!
The auras of these gray remnant souls are identical, as if they belong to a particular special race?'
Many beings observed the situation inside the Small World from the entrance.
'Ah!
I remember! These remnant souls seem to belong to the Tianying Clan!
Could it be that this Small World is the Tianying Realm that disappeared for endless ages?'
Suddenly, some beings who were older, with rich experience and extensive knowledge cried out in astonishment.
Tianying Realm!
The other beings were all greatly alarmed upon hearing this.
The Tianying Realm was the place where the Tianying Clan resided in ancient times!
The Tianying Clan was an extremely powerful race within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, said to be even stronger than the Miao Clan of the Vermilion Bird Realm!
However, the Tianying Clan later vanished into the long river of history!
Even the Tianying Realm disappeared.
Who would have thought that the entrance to the Tianying Realm would suddenly appear now in the Falling Immortal Realm.
Upon receiving the news, many major factions immediately organized parties and rushed to the Falling Immortal Realm, preparing to enter the Tianying Realm for adventure and treasure-seeking.
Because everyone knew that the Tianying Clan was not only once one of the strongest races within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds but also one of the wealthiest!
It was entirely possible that the Tianying Clan's wealth remained within the Tianying Realm!
'Everyone, heaven has shown mercy! Our Tianying Clan's homeland, the Tianying Realm, has finally manifested!
Now, all clan members, immediately pack your belongings. We return to the Tianying Realm to rebuild our homeland!'
Within a certain world of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, in a remote region, a tall gray figure spoke excitedly.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize that this tall figure was none other than the Tianying King from back in the Tianying Small World on the Tianxuan Continent!
Back then, the Tianying King led his Tianying Clan forces away from the Tianxuan Continent, vanishing without a trace. Later, Ye Yunfei had never seen them again.
'Rebuild our homeland!'
Upon hearing Tianying King's words, a large force of Tianying Clan members roared in unison.
Then, Tianying King waved his hand, leading the Tianying Clan's mighty force out of this remote region.
At this time, Ye Yunfei was within the Phantom Tower, engrossed in his cultivation.
'I've finally reached the level of a thousand swords returning to unity!'
At a certain moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had refined a massive amount of sword crystals. Simultaneously, both Soul Bodies participated in cultivating the Myriad Swords Return to Unity Supreme Technique, so his sword Dao had progressed very rapidly.
He had achieved the Thousand Swords Return to Unity realm!
'My Soul Force Energy has also increased by another large margin!
Now, relying solely on Soul Force martial skills, I can easily slay Perfected Half-Emperors!
With my comprehensive capabilities, I need only a single thought to kill a Perfected Half-Emperor!'
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
It was at this moment that Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed the Phantom Tower violently trembling, as if sensing some mysterious summons.
This summons came from a certain direction.
'What's happening?'
Ye Yunfei was a bit startled.
'There is a mysterious will summoning the Phantom Tower.'
Hun Lao also noticed this.
