"Hmm?
This young man..."
When the peerless beauty's gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei, she immediately revealed a startled expression.
"It seems I need to carefully deduce the fate of this young man."
The peerless beauty spoke softly to herself.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei led the group moving everywhere across the battlefield. As time passed, their gains grew greater and greater.
Not only did Ye Yunfei have significant gains, but the harvests of the other four—Yan Xiaoquan, Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu—were also considerable.
Because the War Remnant Souls of those Light Faction experts they encountered had left behind many treasures, and most of those remnants even chose to gift their legacies to Ye Yunfei and his four companions.
Thus, the harvest for the five members of this small team was truly excellent.
"I've obtained several new techniques! They're all quite powerful!
And there's also a large batch of energy crystals and various natural treasures. Once we leave this battlefield, I'll immediately enter seclusion to cultivate and raise my strength to the next level!"
Zhou Ye said excitedly.
"After leaving this battlefield, I will enter seclusion to cultivate as well!"
Wu Wang declared.
"When I left the base, I thought this mission would only be dangerous without much gain. I never imagined the rewards would be so plentiful!"
Wu Tianyu chimed in, grinning from ear to ear.
"My Ghost Body will soon ascend by a grade," Huang Shang transmitted to Ye Yunfei, his voice filled with excitement.
"That's good news.
My Soul Force Energy has also increased significantly," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"My current Soul Force Energy is probably equivalent to that of an Intermediate True Immortal now.
If I employ my Soul Sword, I can surprise-attack and injure the soul body of an Advanced True Immortal.
However, this method is somewhat risky.
Because my soul body has fused with the Soul Sword. If anything happens to the sword, it's akin to my own soul body being damaged."
Ye Yunfei quietly assessed his Soul Force Energy.
Ye Yunfei's current realm was that of an Early Mystic Immortal, yet possessing the power to injure Advanced True Immortals was already an utterly heaven-defying level of combat prowess!
Of course, taking all aspects of Ye Yunfei's current strength into account, he was no longer afraid of True Immortal experts.
His physical strength, Soul Force Energy, spiritual energy, techniques and martial skills, formation mastery, and even his willpower energy — combining all these facets, Ye Yunfei's overall power was incredibly formidable!
"Esteemed Seniors, have you thought about cultivating the Ghost Cultivation Art?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned toward Han Qianzi and the other War Remnant Souls of the Light Faction as he suddenly spoke.
"The Ghost Cultivation Art!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Han Qianzi and the others perked up, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Ye Yunfei.
"Young man, of course we wish to cultivate it. But the Ghost Cultivation Art is an immensely precious secret method, not lightly passed down..."
Han Qianzi hesitated for a moment before replying.
"If you esteemed Seniors wish to cultivate it, I will have Elder Huang impart the art to you," Ye Yunfei said.
If these War Remnant Souls of the Light Faction before him cultivated the Ghost Cultivation Art, their strength would gradually increase. In time, they could leave this battlefield and return to the Light Faction, greatly boosting the faction's overall power.
One must know that these Light Faction War Remnant Souls had all perished on this battlefield long ago, holding deep hatred for the Dark Faction in their bones!
"Impart the Ghost Cultivation Art to us!
Is that truly possible..."
An Earth Immortal Remnant Soul asked excitedly.
"If you wish to cultivate it, I can teach you the Ghost Cultivation Art,"
Huang Shang spoke up.
Regarding Ye Yunfei's decisions, Huang Shang never opposed them. He understood that were it not for Ye Yunfei, he would most likely still be trapped within that alchemy cauldron back in the Great Qin Empire of the Tianxuan Continent.
One could say that everything he possessed now was given to him by Ye Yunfei!
"We are willing to cultivate it!"
"We thank you!"
...
Upon hearing Huang Shang's words, those Light Faction Remnant Souls were overjoyed.
Being able to cultivate the Ghost Cultivation Art was akin to being reborn for them!
Such a golden opportunity was something they would never refuse.
"Good. I shall now impart it to you."
Huang Shang pointed a finger, sending streams of information into the minds of those Light Faction War Remnant Souls.
"Haha...
Excellent! I can cultivate again!"
After receiving the Ghost Cultivation Art, those War Remnant Souls were beside themselves with excitement, some even bursting into loud laughter.
"Young man, I understand your intent.
Rest assured, after we cultivate the Ghost Cultivation Art, we will certainly participate in the next World-Destroying War!
In this lifetime, my greatest enemies are the Dark Faction!"
Han Qianzi declared.
"Yes! I, too, will join the next World-Destroying War!
I must once again set foot on a true battlefield and fight the Dark Faction to the death!"
The other Light Faction War Remnant Souls also clamored loudly.
Ye Yunfei knew their words were sincere because they had all been killed by the Dark Faction on the battlefield, harboring a bone-deep hatred for that faction.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei led the group as they continued to traverse this ancient battlefield. They contacted more and more Light Faction experts and also eliminated an increasing number of Dark Faction powerhouses.
"What is going on?
That kid is a living being!
And those four other youngsters are alive as well!
They're actually leading so many War Remnant Souls, running amok across this battlefield!
How are they managing it?"
Suddenly, in the distance, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe appeared, staring intently at Ye Yunfei's party.
"It seems the main issue lies with that leading human kid!
Dammit, how does this brat possess such capability, to lead these War Remnant Souls while moving across the battlefield like this?
From the looks of it, he's using some kind of spatial secret art to sever the space occupied by those War Remnant Souls, then carrying the entire spatial fragment along as he moves!
Hmm, interesting. A junior like him could actually conceive of such a method. Moreover, executing it requires incredibly profound spatial energy and laws!"
The black-robed figure gazed intently at Ye Yunfei from afar, muttering to himself.
"It seems in recent years, the Light Faction has been investing heavily in nurturing the next generation, and with notable results.
But so what? In the end, all these talented youths they've cultivated are destined to become mere nourishment."
The black-robed man sneered.
"This kid intends to disrupt this battlefield. He must be stopped.
If this continues, I fear this ancient battlefield may collapse altogether."
With that, the black-robed man
*Swoosh!*
merged into space and stealthily sped towards Ye Yunfei's location.
At this time, Ye Yunfei and his party were jointly besieging a Remnant Soul left behind by a powerful Dark Faction expert.
This Dark Faction expert was most likely an Advanced Earth Immortal in life. Even as a mere Remnant Soul, its power remained formidable.
The five—Ye Yunfei and his companions—along with a group of Light Faction War Remnant Souls collectively assaulted this Dark Faction expert's Remnant Soul, engaging in an intense battle.
Fortunately, in the end, through their combined efforts, they successfully shattered that Dark Faction powerhouse's Remnant Soul.
Ye Yunfei had initially intended to let the Light Faction War Remnant Souls refine this captured soul using the Ghost Cultivation Art for their own cultivation.
However, all the Light Faction War Remnant Souls declined. According to them, there would still be plenty of Dark Faction Remnant Souls within this battlefield for them to use for cultivation later.
While Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang wouldn't be staying in this battlefield for much longer, thus needing to seize time to refine and absorb more themselves.
