"Understood!"
The dark-green-skinned member of the Demon Race immediately retrieved a token engraved with strange demonic runes and began sending a transmission back to the Demon Realm.
"Send the transmission immediately! Get the message back. Tell them members of the Light Faction have entered our Main World!"
At this moment, the guards watching the portal also quietly discussed via sound transmission, then took out communication jade slips to send messages.
"Not good! That brat set up so many formations here, blocking the way! We need to figure out how to break these formations!"
It was then the guards suddenly realized that the dozens of formations Ye Yunfei had placed were still there, perfectly blocking the channel leading into the Main World!
"The level of these formations is very high. With our strength, we probably can't crack them! We must report this immediately!" someone said.
"Damn it, these Light Faction members are far too arrogant! Not only did they force their way into our Main World, they also left so many formations here. This is nothing short of a provocation against our Main World!" someone else growled angrily.
"Hey, the formations that guy placed seem to be blocking the entrance to the Main World!"
By now, everyone else queuing in the distance hoping to enter the Main World had also been left dumbstruck. The dozens of formations Ye Yunfei had set up tightly enveloped the Main World's portal. Without breaking these formations, they simply could not enter.
At this point, the three True Immortal-level Demon Race experts and the dozen or so Mystic Immortal-level demons were still trying their hardest to break the formations. However, it was impossible to break through them quickly.
"Second Prince, we have to wait until these formations are destroyed before we can enter the Main World," the dark-green-skinned demon said.
The Second Prince's face was full of rage, his demonic eyes murderous.

"This little fellow certainly seems to enjoy stirring things up."
At this moment, in a certain distant void stood two people. If Ye Yunfei were here, he would recognize them immediately as Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu — the very two who had guided him into the Light Faction.
"Let him stir. We should avoid interfering with him as much as possible. With his talent, it likely won't be long before he grows into a force to be reckoned with within our Light Faction," Old Man Chu said in an appreciative tone.
"But, those formations are blocking the Main World's portal. If the higher-ups from the major powers within the Main World find out, they will likely hold a grudge against our Light Faction," Chan Master Tianwu said, frowning.
"Let them do as they please," Old Man Chu replied, his expression turning severe. "The major powers of the Main World are showing our Light Faction less and less respect. Moreover, the Dark Faction has clearly already sent emissaries into the Main World to establish contact with those powers. The major powers within will definitely have ideas. Our Light Faction cannot afford to be overly cautious in our future dealings. For those who wish to lean towards the Dark Faction, for those who show our faction disrespect — we absolutely cannot keep indulging them. Doing so would only make the Light Faction appear weak, leading the world to think we lack conviction."
"Old Man Chu, you speak reason," Chan Master Tianwu nodded in agreement. "Our Light Faction has always acted for the overall security of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Yet, so many powers, for the sake of their own selfish gains, are willing to collude with the Dark Faction. For these selfish forces, no matter how much our Light Faction accommodates them, it will be useless — because what they value is immediate profit. Our Light Faction simply cannot provide them with great profit in that regard. In this, we can never compare to the Dark Faction."
"That is also the main reason why so many major powers are willing to consort and scheme with the Dark Faction," Old Man Chu let out a light sigh and said.

"Right, Ye Yunfei, you placed so many formations blocking the Main World's portal. Won't that cause trouble?"
By this time, Ye Yunfei and his companions had already entered the Main World. Yan Xiaoquan suddenly remembered the formations Ye Yunfei had set up and couldn't help but ask with concern. She had heard Elder Liu from the base mention that the relationship between the Light Faction and the major powers of the Main World was quite delicate.
"Don't worry. Those formations will self-destruct soon," Ye Yunfei said with a smile. He had already considered this when he laid them down.
Just as Ye Yunfei spoke these words, outside the Main World portal:
*Boom!*
The dozens of formations Ye Yunfei had set up moments earlier suddenly exploded together, releasing massive amounts of formation energy that surged towards the demons still attempting to break them.
"Ahh!
Ahhh…!"
A dozen or so Mystic Immortal-level demons were sent flying by the force, screaming in pain. Each of them was injured.
"All the formations self-destructed! It must have been pre-arranged by that brat!"
Witnessing this, everyone cried out in surprise.
"Damn it!" The Second Prince's face contorted with fury. In his heart, he swore he would settle the score with Ye Yunfei.
* * *
"All the formations exploded!"
Seeing this scene from afar, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu were somewhat startled, then exchanged a smile.
"It seems that young fellow planned for these formations to self-destruct from the moment he laid them," Chan Master Tianwu remarked.
"This level of formation mastery is truly exceptional. It seems our Light Faction is about to produce a true Formations Grandmaster," Old Man Chu said with a laugh.
* * *
At that moment, the five members of the group — Ye Yunfei and his companions — stood amidst the starry void of the Main World, surveying the cosmic firmament before them.
As far as the eye could see, it was a vast, boundless cosmos. Endless stars, endless realms!
Energy was abundant, and the Laws were advanced. Every corner of space was suffused with profound and elusive principles of the Great Dao. Furthermore, this cosmic firmament gave off an aura of profound, deep, and timeworn history — the mark of an ancient universe with an immensely long lifespan. Being in such an environment seemed to bring a kind of sublimation to one's Soul Body, thoughts, will, and other aspects.
"Truly, the Main World lives up to its name!" Ye Yunfei exclaimed softly as he gazed at the expansive starfield before him. "It is indeed far more advanced than any single world among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds! No wonder so many Immortal realm powerhouses are born here!"
"Actually, during the Ancient Era, the Main World was also part of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Yan Xiaoquan said immediately upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words. "Only later, changes occurred. The Main World was artificially separated from the other worlds. The remaining worlds of the cosmos gradually declined, while the Main World not only preserved its original energy and laws but also absorbed some of the essential energy and law essence from the other worlds. That's why we have the situation we see now: The Main World is highly developed, while the other worlds are extremely weak."
"Oh? Is that so?"
This was the first time Ye Yunfei had heard such things, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's true," Wu Wang nodded, adding for Ye Yunfei's benefit. "When we attended training at the base, the elders there once spoke to us about the origins of the Main World. In fact, for the Main World to become such an advanced world, nearly half of its energy and laws come — to put it bluntly, are forcibly plundered — from the various worlds of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
