Not long after, led by Lunhui Laozu, the high-level figures of the Reincarnation Palace arrived at a run-down ancestral hall deep within the headquarters.
This was a restricted area of the Reincarnation Palace. Under normal circumstances, only the Founding Ancestor, Su Qingluo, and a few Supreme Elders were permitted entry; ordinary high-ranking members were not qualified.
The old Wizard of the Reincarnation Palace had been in secluded cultivation within this ancestral hall, scarcely taking a single step outside through countless years.
Boom…
Upon entering the hall, everyone found themselves within a Small World.
This Small World was saturated with dense Samsara energy and laws, radiating brilliant divine light.
So the interior of that ancestral hall was a Small World!
“Old Wizard, you should understand our intentions. So, can our Reincarnation Palace stake everything on this fight?”
Lunhui Laozu led the group before a withered old man who looked like a dried-out corpse, asking the question.
“It is possible.”
The old man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and swept his gaze over the group before nodding.
“Hmm, not bad. One Deity Soul Fruit has greatly enhanced your strength.
Your current combat power is equivalent to that of an Advanced Earth Immortal.
Also, you haven't fully refined that Deity Soul Fruit yet. There's still a portion of its energy hidden within your body.
Once you completely refine it, your combat power should improve further.”
The old Wizard's gaze suddenly shifted to Su Qingluo.
“Thank you for the reminder, Old Wizard. I understand.”
Su Qingluo hurriedly bowed respectfully in response.
“In that case, let us begin.
Matters have come to this; our Reincarnation Palace can no longer avoid it. We have no choice but to fight.”
Lunhui Laozu spoke slowly.
“It is indeed time for battle.”
The old Wizard nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing Lunhui Laozu and the old Wizard's words, everyone's spirits were uplifted. They knew a great war was about to begin!
At the same time, in a certain stretch of starry void within the Main World.
“Right now, there are three Earth Immortal experts trying to track you down.
Aside from these three experts, many members of those major powers have also been setting up checkpoints all over the Main World and posting bounty notices for you.
You've become famous in the Main World!”
Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
Over the past few days, both Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had sensed that three Earth Immortal experts were actively tracking Ye Yunfei.
The three Earth Immortals employed various tracking techniques, attempting to lock onto Ye Yunfei from a great distance.
Both Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sensed the faint residual Soul Power signatures these three Earth Immortals projected across the void. By analyzing these signatures, they deduced there were three of them seeking Ye Yunfei.
“Three Earth Immortal experts… that's a bit difficult to deal with.”
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly.
“Not three—there are four Earth Immortal experts tracking me now!
I just sensed another one joining in.”
At that moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly cried out.
“Yes, I sense it too.”
Upon hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hun Lao immediately focused his senses and then nodded.
“They actually sent four Earth Immortal experts to deal with you. They're really placing a lot of importance on you.”
Hun Lao couldn't help but remark.
“We destroyed so many of their branch strongholds, killed so many of their people, and seized so many treasures. The high-level members of those major powers must be utterly heartbroken. They've definitely marked us as targets that must be eliminated.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“However, with four Earth Immortal experts tracking me together, it will be extremely troublesome if they discover my trail.
So, for now, I need to find a place to hide.”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei spoke.
“That's my opinion as well. We don't yet know the exact strength levels of those four Earth Immortals. If they're all Advanced Earth Immortals, or if even one Perfect Earth Immortal arrives, you won't be able to handle it.”
Hun Lao nodded.
“Indeed.”
Ye Yunfei agreed.
Next, Ye Yunfei briefly explained the situation to the Reincarnation Palace elders.
Upon learning that four Earth Immortal experts were hunting their group, the faces of those elders turned pale with fright.
Therefore, they all accepted Ye Yunfei's suggestion: to hide for a while.
Ye Yunfei moved all members of the Reincarnation Palace into the Phantom Tower, instructing them to cultivate in seclusion within.
Ye Yunfei himself then began searching for a suitable hiding place. After the better part of a day, he found a planet brimming with vibrant life force.
“This will do.”
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
Then, employing his Earth Technique, Ye Yunfei burrowed deep underground. He located a natural cavern chamber, took out Formation materials, and set up numerous isolation Formations and concealment Formations around it, creating multiple layers of protection. Finally, he entered the cavern.
With Ye Yunfei's current Formation skills, the isolation and concealment arrays he deployed would be exceedingly difficult even for Earth Immortal experts to detect.
“Now, it's time to increase my cultivation realm.”
After entering the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei found a quiet spot to sit cross-legged, thinking to himself.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had slain numerous True Immortal experts. His accumulated experience was already sufficient.
The quantity of cultivation resources and treasures he had amassed from destroying so many branch strongholds of those five major powers was truly staggering.
Ye Yunfei brought out a massive pile of cultivation resources, stacking them around himself, and began cultivating.
Rumble…
Eight Divine Meridians surged forth from within Ye Yunfei's body, erupting with tremendous force, beginning to devour the energies radiating from the surrounding cultivation resources.
“Just what level of physique is a Divine Meridian exactly?”
Hun Lao exclaimed in surprise upon seeing those eight mighty Divine Meridians within Ye Yunfei, their presence like vast rivers and seas.
“In the fragmented racial memories I've awakened, there seem to be faint memories about Divine Meridians. They are an advanced type of spiritual meridian born from primal chaos, ancient and powerful.”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm spoke upon hearing Hun Lao's remark.
“That seems possible.
Ye Yunfei is currently at the Mystic Immortal realm, but I feel the true potential of these eight Divine Meridians is far from being fully unleashed.”
Hun Lao stared intently at the eight Divine Meridians, a solemn expression on his face.
“That goes without saying. This kid's future is limitless.”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei began to break through.
Since he had accumulated more than enough experience, this time Ye Yunfei managed consecutive breakthroughs.
After all, in recent times, Ye Yunfei had slain far too many True Immortal experts. Each True Immortal he killed represented another layer of accumulated experience!
After three years of secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei shockingly broke through directly to the Initial True Immortal realm in one go!
“Brother Ye, your breakthrough speed is utterly terrifying!”
When Ye Yunfei broke through to the Initial True Immortal realm, Yan Xiaoquan and her three companions came out to observe. Among them, Wu Wang couldn't help but shout.
