These thirty Heartforce Tokens were Ye Yunfei's spoils over this period of time.
Among them, some were seized from the hands of Heavenly Immortal experts!
If not for his continuously elevating Mental Force energy level and the boost to his movement speed from his Time Boots, it would have been extremely difficult to gather these thirty tokens.
Among these thirty Heartforce Tokens, there were some Ye Yunfei had already contemplated earlier. Now, he intended to properly ponder the tokens he hadn't yet studied.
"I think you should first figure out how to use these thirty Heartforce Tokens to obtain the treasures left behind by this city's master. You can contemplate these tokens after you get those treasures," Hun Lao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"I understand, but I already have thirty Heartforce Tokens in my possession, and these thirty tokens are assembled together, yet there's no special reaction. For the moment, I don't know how to utilize these thirty tokens to find the treasures left by this city's master. Perhaps I need to thoroughly contemplate all thirty tokens before I can resonate with the treasures left by the city's master," Ye Yunfei replied after using his Mental Force energy and Soul Power energy to sense the thirty tokens floating before him, gaining nothing.
"Yeah, you've gathered all thirty Heartforce Tokens and put them together, but we see no reaction. This city is full of dense networks of streets. How exactly should we use these thirty tokens to find those treasures? Maybe we really need to deeply comprehend these tokens to find the answer," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, who was also studying the tokens, chimed in.
"Then you should concentrate on contemplation for now," Hun Lao said, having no inspiration for the moment.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, released his Mental Force energy and Soul Power energy, and began to contemplate the Heartforce Tokens floating before him.
Time slowly passed by. Ye Yunfei entered deep meditation as if he were an old monk, sinking into a state of profound enlightenment.
Meanwhile, the Refining Heart Orb hovered above Ye Yunfei's head, continuously absorbing and refining the Mental Force energy present in the surrounding space, ultimately converting this energy into his own Mental Force energy.
In fact, the Refining Heart Orb had been absorbing and refining the Mental Force energy within this city all this time, causing Ye Yunfei's Mental Force energy level to steadily rise.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei's contemplation of the Heartforce Tokens grew deeper and more profound, his understanding of the Heart Force Laws contained within the tokens becoming increasingly comprehensive.
At a certain moment, dazzling white rays of light suddenly burst forth from within Ye Yunfei's body.
"What's that?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed, pointing at Ye Yunfei's body in shock.
Hu Miao, Hun Lao, the remnant soul within the Phantom Tower, as well as the two Xiao sisters and the two Peng siblings, all saw a white sphere appear within Ye Yunfei's body at the location of his heart. It radiated rolling beams of brilliant white light, like a blazing sun, illuminating everything.
The brilliant, dazzling white sphere began to visibly expand in size at an observable rate.
Terrifying Mental Force energy was released from this white sphere, causing the surrounding space and time to warp and distort slightly, seemingly suppressing the very space itself.
"That sphere seems to be condensed from Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws, and it has already fused with his heart. This means this white sphere has become his heart, or it could be said this white sphere has transformed from his heart itself. What technique is this? It's truly marvelous," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out in amazement.
Boom...!
The white sphere continued to grow, its volume expanding larger and larger, the Mental Force energy it released growing more and more potent.
The rolling divine radiance it emitted was filled with a profound, ethereal aura, carrying a grand sensation of piercing through the void and obliterating the endless epochs.
"Do not disturb him! His Mental Force energy seems to be undergoing a certain transformation!" the remnant soul spoke up.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei felt his Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws rapidly elevating!
The range he could sense within this city grew wider and wider!
Ye Yunfei saw many beings within the city still searching for Heartforce Tokens, fierce fights erupting everywhere over seizing tokens, and he also saw large groups from major forces looking for his whereabouts.
Gradually, the white sphere at the location of his heart within his body grew bigger and bigger.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
…
Surging radiance illuminated the surrounding space clear as day. In fact, this dazzling radiance was transformed from the Heart Force Laws.
Vast, turbulent Mental Force energy swirled like raging whirlpools and torrents around the white sphere within Ye Yunfei's body, continuously rotating, churning, and boiling, akin to an ocean stirring up towering waves—an imposing and formidable sight.
The terrifying pressure of Mental Force energy had completely sealed and suppressed the surrounding space.
"Too terrifying! I dare not face such dreadful Mental Force energy," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed from inside the Phantom Tower, having retreated inside earlier.
Hu Miao also brought the two Xiao sisters and the two Peng siblings into the Phantom Tower. These four couldn't withstand the Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws currently being released by Ye Yunfei.
Unaware of how much time had passed, Ye Yunfei was ecstatic to find that the white sphere within his body now exceeded one kilometer in size and was still growing.
While Ye Yunfei was hidden in this street contemplating the tokens, in another street of the city…
"I've finally gathered thirty Heartforce Tokens again! I wonder if I still have a chance to obtain the treasures left by this city's master?" a youth holding two tokens he had just acquired said slowly, his expression somewhat complex.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this youth as the Third Prince of the Heavenly God Hall!
After Ye Yunfei snatched the two Heartforce Tokens from him, the Third Prince had ordered the Heavenly God Hall members who entered this city to search for and pursue Ye Yunfei. Yet, he himself continued to search for tokens because he was unwilling to give up, wanting to try his luck once more.
Now, he finally had thirty tokens again.
"I wonder if there's still time…" The Third Prince found a secluded spot nearby, waved his hand, and thirty Heartforce Tokens appeared floating before him. He felt both anticipation and worry.
Since Ye Yunfei had collected his thirty tokens before him, he worried Ye Yunfei might have already claimed the treasures.
"How exactly should I use these thirty tokens to find those treasures?" the Third Prince muttered, staring at the thirty tokens floating ahead. Even after observing them for nearly two hours, he found no clues.
"Could the secret lie within the tokens? Then I should try sensing and contemplating them," he thought, and immediately released his Mental Force energy to probe the thirty tokens.
Quickly, his Mental Force awareness entered the tokens' interiors.
However, this Third Prince's Mental Force energy and proficiency in the Heart Force Laws were not particularly advanced, far inferior to Ye Yunfei's. Therefore, he had been unable to discover the sophisticated Heart Force Laws within these tokens earlier and hadn't tried to comprehend them.
Furthermore, previously, to obtain the city master's treasures, he had spent all his effort and time searching for tokens. After acquiring one token, he immediately went searching for the next, never pausing to study the tokens.
It was only now that he finally took the time to research their interiors.
"These tokens' interiors seem to contain incredibly profound Heart Force Laws!" the Third Prince exclaimed after half a day of sensing.
"So these Heartforce Tokens themselves are valuable treasures containing advanced Heart Force Laws! Comprehending the Heart Force Laws within will significantly elevate my Mental Force level! How wonderful!" he thought, feeling thrilled.
He possessed the talent to cultivate Mental Force energy, but it paled compared to Ye Yunfei's, and his fortuitous encounters in this aspect were fewer. His progress in Mental Force cultivation had been slow and arduous.
Now, unexpectedly obtaining these thirty tokens containing profound Heart Force Laws was a huge boon for his cultivation.
"But now isn't the time for contemplation. I should first find a way to obtain the treasures related to Mental Force energy left by the city master; those will likely be even more valuable. I'll spend time comprehending these thirty tokens after I get those treasures," the Third Prince murmured to himself.
However, despite all his efforts studying the thirty tokens in the following time, he couldn't figure out how to use them to locate the city master's treasures.
"Damn it! No reaction at all! What's going on?" he grew increasingly impatient.
"Could it be because that surnamed Ye kid has already taken the treasures?" He couldn't accept it, but knew this was highly probable.
"Maybe he hasn't gotten them yet. I'll study them a bit more," he told himself, clinging to hope.
He forced himself to continue researching the tokens, but no matter what he tried, racking his brain for possibilities, he gained no insights.
"Damn it! That Ye brat must have the treasures! What right does an ant like him have to claim them! They should belong to me!" The Third Prince became more and more agitated. He stood up and paced the street, his voice rising until his last words became a furious roar directed at the sky.
"It seems that kid has indeed taken the city master's treasures. Otherwise, why would my tokens have no reaction? It must be because the treasures are already in his hands!" His face contorted with rage, his teeth gritted, his eyes burning with boundless fury.
"Those treasures are mine! Even if that Ye kid temporarily has them, they will return to my hands in the end! I swear it!" Finally forcing himself to calm down, he waved his hand and stored the thirty tokens.
"Issue my command: from this moment, pursue and kill that kid at full force! Find him at any cost!" Shortly after, he located his Heavenly God Hall members and issued the order.
Although he was only an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal, his status as the Third Prince of the Heavenly God Hall was high. With his command, all members began communicating, spreading the order to every Heavenly God Hall communication token.
"Also, issue a bounty proclamation! Offer a substantial reward for his capture! Whoever catches that kid and hands him to me will not only receive a huge sum but also have me, the Third Prince, owe them a personal favor. They can seek the Heavenly God Hall's assistance in the future if needed!" he added.
Hearing this, his subordinates were inwardly shocked. A large reward was insignificant to the prince given the Heavenly God Hall's immense wealth and influence. The real prize was the prince's personal favor and the promise of the hall's future support—an incredibly valuable offer.
Soon, the bounty personally announced by the Third Prince circulated among the hall members.
"What did that surnamed Ye kid do to provoke the Heavenly God Hall's Third Prince to this extent, even prompting him to personally issue a bounty?"
"That surnamed Ye kid is truly arrogant and skilled at stirring trouble! There are now three bounties out for him!"
…
The news quickly sparked discussions and shock.
Meanwhile, in a certain street, within a small spatial formation, Ye Yunfei was still immersed in contemplating his thirty Heartforce Tokens.
At this moment, the white sphere at the location of his heart had surpassed two kilometers in size, slowly rotating, releasing terrifying Mental Force energy, and radiating dazzling divine light.
"The quality of my Mental Force energy has soared exponentially in this short time!" Ye Yunfei felt incredibly excited.
"Not bad. This youth possesses impressive talent in Mental Force energy. He qualifies to receive the treasures I left behind," a hidden will within the city, imperceptible to anyone, remarked, keeping its attention fixed on Ye Yunfei.
