"Master, my injuries are finally healed! The Golden Lotus Fruit you gave me is incredibly useful!
After consuming and refining it, not only am I completely recovered, but my strength has also improved by a large margin!"
Hu Miao suddenly appeared by Ye Yunfei's side, speaking excitedly.
"Is that so? Wonderful.
These Golden Lotus Fruits were obtained atop a Deity's tomb, they belong to the realm of gods, so of course they are useful," Ye Yunfei said with a smile after sensing Hu Miao's aura. He found that she was indeed fine and that her aura was much stronger than before, which set his mind at ease.
It turned out that not long ago, aside from giving three Golden Lotus Fruits to Mr. Liu, Ye Yunfei had also given one to Hu Miao, instructing her to consume and refine it.
"I will definitely go and settle the score with those fellows from the Dark Faction!" Hu Miao's tone suddenly turned cold as she said icily.
Previously, when Ye Yunfei was breaking through to Earth Immortal, he was suddenly attacked by experts of the Dark Faction. Hu Miao intervened to help during the crisis, resulting in her Soul Body being injured by a Dark Faction expert. Her injuries had remained unhealed until she finally recovered after consuming and refining a Golden Lotus Fruit!
"Indeed, Hu Miao, rest assured we will certainly go and settle the score with those fellows from the Dark Faction, to vent your anger for you," Ye Yunfei said.
"Master, you treat me the best," Hu Miao immediately cooed, affecting a flirtatious tone.
"But first, I need to focus on some improvement.
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, you lead the way, carrying the Phantom Tower back to the Xiaotian Realm. Let's return there first to clarify the current situation in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm after a moment of thought.
Then, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower, found a spot to sit cross-legged. This trip to the Colorless Abyss had yielded significant gains, and he needed time to properly sort them out.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light, heading towards the Xiaotian Realm with the Phantom Tower.
The Xiaotian Realm was the main base of the 35th Battalion of the Light Faction!
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, carefully recalling the various gains he had obtained during his venture into the Colorless Abyss.
First, he had raided the lair of the Five Immortals Poison King, obtaining all the Poison King's possessions. Huang Chang had acquired the Poison King's gu insect techniques and poison arts, along with most of his poisons and a large batch of slaves already controlled by the gu techniques, while the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had also obtained a large batch of poisonous creatures.
Second, he had met Elder Lu of the Light Faction. When Elder Lu departed following that mysterious stone coffin, he had gifted Ye Yunfei a spatial ring containing a vast quantity of precious treasures, energy crystals, magical artifacts, elixirs, cultivation manuals, and other types of heavenly and earthly treasures. Among them were some rare heavenly and earthly treasures that Ye Yunfei still hadn't fully identified.
Thirdly, they had encountered the Ten Thousand Laws Vine. When meeting one of the vine's incarnations, Ye Yunfei obtained part of the ancient Formations legacy, which significantly elevated his skill in Formations. Later, within the Divine World, they met the true body of the Ten Thousand Laws Vine and obtained a drop of the vine race's Origin Essence Blood, which he successfully fused into his body, followed by acquiring eight Enlightenment Golden Lotus Fruits.
These were the primary gains Ye Yunfei obtained from his journey into the Colorless Abyss!
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and four golden Golden Lotus Fruits appeared, suspended in front of him, emitting brilliant golden light with faint rumbles of Taoresonance echoing indistinctly.
In total, Ye Yunfei had obtained eight Golden Lotus Fruits. He gave three to Mr. Liu and one to Hu Miao, leaving him with four remaining.
"Alright. I'll consume one to enhance the quality of my physical body.
The remaining three, I'll store for now and use later," Ye Yunfei mused aloud, gazing at the four Golden Lotus Fruits.
In truth, Ye Yunfei had thought of his parents and Xiao Fei. However, their current cultivation level was somewhat low, and Ye Yunfei estimated one must at least be at Earth Immortal level to withstand these Golden Lotus Fruits. Consuming them forcibly with insufficient strength would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Because treasures in this world are divided into tiers. For overly high-tier treasures, one must possess corresponding strength to refine them.
Once decided, Ye Yunfei stored away three of the Golden Lotus Fruits, leaving just one out.
"Taking this opportunity, let's also elevate the Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel," Ye Yunfei waved his hand, taking out a large quantity of various cultivation resources piled into small mountains. He then released the Nine Divine Beasts, allowing them to devour these resources.
It could be said that the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel was the simplest and most straightforward cultivation method among all the techniques and secret arts Ye Yunfei practiced. All one needed to do was have the Nine Divine Beasts constantly consume massive amounts of cultivation resources. There was no need for arduous seated meditation or particular talent, comprehension, or such.
However, the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel was also an exceedingly extravagant technique. The Nine Divine Beasts needed to devour vast quantities of various heavenly and earthly treasures before they could even hope to increase their strength.
Ordinary martial artists lacking corresponding financial resources simply couldn't cultivate it. Only someone like Ye Yunfei, who frequently managed to acquire large amounts of cultivation resources, could practice it.
Next, Ye Yunfei began consuming the Golden Lotus Fruit.
"Master, be careful. The energy of the Golden Lotus Fruit is somewhat overwhelming. When I consumed it, I was nearly shaken unconscious. Fortunately, being a creature from ancient lineage, my bloodline is noble and my physique special, so I managed to endure it," Hu Miao reminded.
"Heh, don't worry. If you could withstand it, I shouldn't have a problem either," Ye Yunfei said with a smile, then directly swallowed the Golden Lotus Fruit.
Boom...
Instantly, colossal booms resembling the wrath of heaven resounded within his body, as if a giant god was beating a war drum with all his might.
Profound energy of unimaginable scale spread through Ye Yunfei's body, directly seeping into his limbs and bones, swiftly remolding his physique.
The Ten Thousand Laws Vine had already told Ye Yunfei the method of consuming the Golden Lotus Fruit: to enhance a particular aspect of strength, one simply had to guide the cultivation process, allowing the essence of the fruit to seep into the corresponding areas.
Under Ye Yunfei's guidance, the essence of the Golden Lotus Fruit continuously flowed into every part of his body—his internal organs, flesh, bones, hair, meridians, vessels, even every cell...
Wherever the Golden Lotus Fruit's energy reached, thunderous sounds of the great Tao would resonate in that area, a most divine phenomenon.
The energy of the Golden Lotus Fruit was indeed overwhelmingly potent. Ye Yunfei realized he had somewhat underestimated it earlier; typical Earth Immortal experts likely wouldn't be able to endure it!
But Ye Yunfei's body had undergone countless trials and was properly hardened and toughened. Moreover, not long ago, he had fused a drop of the Ten Thousand Laws Vine's Origin Essence Blood, granting him an extremely high-grade bloodline, so he could fully withstand the Golden Lotus Fruit's essence.
Ye Yunfei felt his physical body being rapidly reconstructed, continuously elevated!
While Ye Yunfei cultivated inside the Phantom Tower, within a world filled with thick black fog in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, inside a palace, a figure sat cross-legged, its vast Soul Power energy radiating outward.
"That human youth must have emerged from the Colorless Abyss. I will find him, capture him, and everything he obtained on that Deity's tomb will belong to me!"
This figure murmured to himself.
It was none other than the Dark Ancestor!
