The Palace Mistress must have had her state of mind disturbed by that brat Ye Yunfei again! I never imagined the mark that brat left in her heart would be so profound that even after her breakthrough to Earth Immortal, he can still disrupt her spirits!
With the Palace Mistress's status and position, only those monstrously talented youngsters from the great sects and clans of the Main World are worthy of her.
A junior from one of those lower-level worlds outside—what virtue or ability does he possess to be deserving of the Palace Mistress!
This cannot go on. The Palace Mistress is the hope for our Reincarnation Palace's growth and expansion. We cannot allow her to be entangled with that boy any longer!
I must report this matter to our Founding Ancestor!
Seeing Su Qingluo in such a state, the Dragon Grandma made these speculations silently in her heart.
All right, I will now go see the Island Master of Feixian Island," Su Qingluo forcefully rallied her spirits and spoke, then turned and left.
The Dragon Grandma, meanwhile, secretly went to see the Founding Ancestor.
Within the Vermilion Bird Realm.
Inside a luxurious palace,
Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong sat opposite each other.
Both wore expressions of melancholy.
I wonder how Fei'er is doing now.
I've already asked Father to send out his trusted aides to gather news about Fei'er, but so far, there's been no word," Miao Ziqiong spoke up.
Don't worry.
Fei'er has encountered all sorts of storms and waves along his journey. His talent and capabilities far surpass ours. I believe he'll be fine," Ye Tianpeng comforted her.
I hope so," Miao Ziqiong nodded.
Father! Mother!"
At that moment, a graceful young girl rushed into the palace.
It was Xiao Fei!
Now Xiao Fei was the most honored princess within the Vermilion Bird Realm, being meticulously groomed by the Vermilion Bird King as his successor.
Let alone the common beings of the Vermilion Bird Realm, even the higher-ups of the Miao Race had to be respectful when meeting Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei, why are you always running back to see us instead of focusing on your cultivation?"
Seeing her daughter return, Miao Ziqiong immediately went to meet her, scolding her twice even as she felt glad.
Father, Mother, I've just heard some news. It's about Brother," Xiao Fei said, her face pale, speaking directly.
News about Fei'er!
How is he? Where is he? Is he safe?"
Hearing this, both Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong were immediately concerned, asking almost simultaneously.
I heard... Brother might be being pursued by the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master at the same time!" Xiao Fei said.
What?!
Fei'er is being pursued by both the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master?!
That means there are four Heavenly Emperors chasing him!
How could this happen? What should we do now?"
Miao Ziqiong, upon hearing Xiao Fei's words, felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. She stood up directly, at a complete loss.
Ye Tianpeng also rose to his feet, filled with utmost anxiety.
We should go see the Vermilion Bird King and ask him to help Fei'er!"
After a moment's thought, Miao Ziqiong gritted her teeth and said.
Mother, there's no need to go to the Vermilion Bird King.
He has already intervened to help Brother. However, there are four Heavenly Emperors on the other side. With him fighting one against four, he has no chance of victory.
But I heard Brother has already found a place to hide.
Right now, the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master are chasing him everywhere!" Xiao Fei said.
Then what can we do?
I don't know where Fei'er is hiding now. If only there was a way to find him..."
Worried about her son, Miao Ziqiong felt as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
Father, Mother, don't worry. I will find a way to locate Brother.
Please stay here peacefully," Xiao Fei said after some thought.
Xiao Fei, you want to go out and search for Fei'er? Absolutely not!
Your strength is far inferior to that of the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master. You must not risk yourself!"
Hearing Xiao Fei's words, Miao Ziqiong suddenly realized something and was startled. She quickly grabbed Xiao Fei's hand and warned her.
She feared her daughter would also fall into danger.
Mother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Xiao Fei said.
At the same time.
Within one of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, a world filled with dense black fog everywhere.
We have secretly co-opted a batch of forces and experts from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds as ordered, including quite a few at the Heavenly Emperor level," one of the dozen black-robed figures spoke respectfully before a creature shrouded completely in thick mist.
Very good.
This time, we are preparing to annihilate all living beings within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and then perform the ritual sacrifice.
Once our mission is accomplished, we can leave this space-time and return to our own world.
However, our mission only permits success, not failure. Should we fail, we will all perish," the creature slowly stated.
We understand!" the dozen black-robed figures answered in unison.
To reduce the difficulty of this mission, we must adopt a method of sowing division among the internal forces of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Let them fight amongst themselves first, depleting their strength.
At the appropriate time, our forces will then take action, thoroughly exterminating the living beings of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and using their flesh and blood as sacrificial offerings.
Additionally, the Main World is also part of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. I have already used my supernatural powers to forcibly open a gateway to the Main World. You will seek opportunities to enter it, and there, cultivate and draw a group of forces to our side, especially focusing on winning over more top-tier experts." the creature spoke again.
We obey!" the dozen black-robed figures chorused.
Ah, by the way, many of the powerful beings who escaped the last Extinction War have now secretly returned to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
These strong individuals know the Extinction War was initiated by us, and may even know the reason we started it.
Therefore, these powerhouses might organize the living beings within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to unite against us.
Should we dispatch experts to eliminate these returning powerhouses in advance?"
A black-robed figure stepped forward and reported respectfully.
Leave them be for now. Let them return. The more who return, the better.
Because they too belong among the sacrificial offerings, and are the highest-quality portion of them. Without these returning powerhouses, the effect of our sacrifice would be greatly diminished.
Do you understand my meaning?" the creature shrouded in mist said indifferently.
This subordinate understands!" the reporting black-robed figure hurriedly replied.
All right, you may all withdraw. Go attend to your tasks."
The creature waved its hand.
The dozen black-robed figures hastily withdrew.
Inside the Phantom Tower in the Tianpo Realm,
Ye Yunfei spent several years in seclusion within the tower.
After these years, Ye Yunfei finally broke through.
He emerged from the Phantom Tower.
The sky outside was already dense with tribulation clouds, oppressive and dark.
Then, roaring thunderbolts descended, and the heavenly tribulation began.
After experiencing a violent heavenly tribulation, Ye Yunfei successfully broke through.
At last... I have reached the Perfected Half-Emperor level!"
Once the tribulation ended, Ye Yunfei stood high in the sky, sensing the surging and roiling spiritual energy within his body, and muttered to himself.
The next target is the Heavenly Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
Two beams of brilliant light shot from Ye Yunfei's eyes as he spoke softly.
Throughout this lifetime of rebirth, step by step, Ye Yunfei was finally only one step away from the summit of his previous life!
