"So this is how profound and ingenious the ancient cultivation legacies of the Light Race are!"
During his cultivation of the Light Race's core inheritance, Ye Yunfei exclaimed in amazement several times.
"The Light Race's ancient inheritance comes from other spacetimes; it's no surprise that it's superior to the cultivation legacies of our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. After all, the world outside is vast and full of wonders," Hun Lao replied.
While instructing Ye Yunfei's cultivation, the statue would occasionally tell him about matters beyond the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, about other spacetimes. This broadened Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao's horizons, allowing them to understand that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were actually just a very ordinary spacetime, even a relatively remote spacetime.
The world outside was still enormous!
However, one piece of information shocked Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao greatly. According to the statue, this spacetime of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had been sealed off, isolating it from the outside world!
When Ye Yunfei asked why the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were sealed, the statue shook its head and said it did not know.
"I am now just a Remnant Soul residing within this statue, clinging to a meager existence. If not for the protection of the Great Brightness Wheel over these years, I would have long turned to dust," the statue told Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, what level of treasure is the Great Brightness Wheel?" Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"The Great Brightness Wheel is a treasure of the Golden Immortal level," the statue replied.
"Golden Immortal?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
This was the first time he had heard of this realm.
"Above Heavenly Emperor is Mystic Immortal. Above Mystic Immortal is True Immortal. Above True Immortal is Earth Immortal. Above Earth Immortal is Golden Immortal," the statue explained slowly.
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, feeling somewhat awestruck.
He had heard that the most powerful experts in the Main World were Earth Immortals.
Yet the Great Brightness Wheel was actually a treasure of the Golden Immortal level!
"Doesn't that mean the Great Brightness Wheel can overpower all treasures, including those in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and the Main World?" Ye Yunfei asked again.
"When it was intact, of course. But the Great Brightness Wheel was once shattered, broken into two halves. This is only one half; the whereabouts of the other half are unknown. A half-piece of the Great Brightness Wheel can only exert limited power," the statue sighed softly.
"So this Great Brightness Wheel is only half a treasure! If it were complete, just how powerful would it be!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"Then, Senior, your former cultivation level..." Ye Yunfei suddenly ventured cautiously.
"Indeed. At my peak, I was a Golden Immortal. Moreover, a Perfected Golden Immortal," the statue answered.
Hearing this, both Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao felt chills running down their spines.
An Earth Immortal was already the top expert in the Main World, yet this statue before them was once a Golden Immortal!
"Having a Golden Immortal personally guide your cultivation, you've struck gold," Hun Lao sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Unbeknownst to them, ten years had passed within the Inner Wheel World.
"Alright, your cultivation ends here. Over these ten years, I have taught you several of our Light Race's core inheritances, and you can be considered to have achieved preliminary mastery. From now on, you must rely on yourself to diligently cultivate and gain enlightenment," the statue said to Ye Yunfei.
"Thank you, Senior, for the great kindness of imparting these techniques!" Ye Yunfei stood before the statue, respectfully performed a deep bow, and spoke gratefully.
Over these ten years, Ye Yunfei had cultivated several of the Light Race's core techniques to a foundational level! His strength had increased tremendously!
Moreover, the statue had not only guided Ye Yunfei in cultivating Light Race techniques but had also given him precious advice on other aspects of his cultivation, such as Soul Power, body tempering, movement speed, and even sword techniques, leaving Ye Yunfei feeling immensely benefited.
In short, these ten years of cultivation had greatly enhanced Ye Yunfei's strength.
In the statue's words, based on Ye Yunfei's current comprehensive combat power, even if he encountered a Mystic Immortal whose strength wasn't exceptionally high, he would still be able to put up a fight!
"Ye Yunfei, although you are not a member of our Light Race, you now possess our Light Race's bloodline within your body, and you have cultivated our Light Race's inheritance. In a certain sense, you can somewhat be considered one of our Light Race's people. You don't deny this, do you?" the statue suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes. I do not deny it," Ye Yunfei replied after a moment's thought.
"Good. Promise me one thing. In the future, when your strength reaches a sufficient level, look after the Light Race. Or, when the Light Race encounters peril, step forward to help," the statue looked at Ye Yunfei and stated.
In fact, this was also the main reason the statue had guided Ye Yunfei's cultivation. It had recognized Ye Yunfei's potential and wanted to forge a connection for the Light Race with a young prodigy of immense future prospects!
"Rest assured, Senior, I will," Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
"Good. You may leave now," the statue said, satisfied with Ye Yunfei's answer.
"Senior, I take my leave," Ye Yunfei bid farewell to the statue and turned to depart.
"Wait, there is one more thing. Help me keep an eye out for the whereabouts of the other half of the Great Brightness Wheel. If it can be found and the two halves merged, the Great Brightness Wheel has a chance to regain its peak state," the statue suddenly added.
"Alright, Senior, rest assured. If I ever learn of the whereabouts of the other half of the Great Brightness Wheel in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to retrieve it for you," Ye Yunfei nodded.
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei walked out of the Inner Wheel World and arrived back in the outside world.
While Ye Yunfei was cultivating inside the Inner Wheel World, the statue had informed him that the flow of time inside was vastly different from the outside. Ten years inside the Inner Wheel World amounted to roughly three days outside!
Therefore, Ye Yunfei had effectively spent only three days inside the Great Brightness Wheel.
"Realm Lord, look! Young Master Ye has come out!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei emerged, a voice cried out in pleasant surprise.
It turned out that over these three days, the Light Realm's Realm Lord had been waiting with a large group of high-ranking members right before the Great Brightness Wheel, not leaving for even half a step.
Simultaneously, numerous Light Realm forces had surrounded this area so densely that it was completely packed.
"Young Master Ye... How did it go?"
The Realm Lord rushed to Ye Yunfei's front with several dozen high-ranking members and cautiously asked.
Those behind the Realm Lord also looked at Ye Yunfei with expectant eyes.
"These are your Light Race's ancient inheritances," Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and six jade slips containing cultivation techniques flew out, landing before the Realm Lord.
"These rings contain some treasures your ancestor gifted to you," Ye Yunfei flicked his fingers, sending over a dozen spatial rings before the Realm Lord.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" The Realm Lord stared at the jade slips and spatial rings before him, utterly overcome with excitement.
