“His magic treasure is quite interesting as well. By the looks of it, it should belong to the lineage of our sect.
However, compared to the treasures in my collection, the grade of this one is somewhat inferior.
That he was able to cultivate Mental Force energy to his current level relying on this treasure—apart from his relatively firm willpower—means his talent is truly not bad at all.”
That obscure will gazed at the Heart-Refining Pearl floating above Ye Yunfei’s head and spoke in an appreciative tone.
“I’ve finally finished comprehending all these tokens!”
Roughly another hour later, Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes, let out a breath, and spoke slowly.
Within Ye Yunfei’s body, at the position of his heart, the white orb continued to rotate slowly, releasing terrifying Mental Force energy.
The powerful Mental Force energy and Mental Force laws caused the space around Ye Yunfei’s body to continuously ripple, slightly distorted and warped.
“This level of Mental Force energy is already somewhat astonishing.”
The Remnant Soul inside the Phantom Tower, sensing the Mental Force energy emanating from Ye Yunfei’s body, couldn’t help but praise.
“I have finished comprehending all thirty Heartforce Tokens, but how should I proceed to find the treasures left by the master of this city?”
Ye Yunfei looked at the Heartforce Tokens and said with a bitter smile.
Although he had finished comprehending all these Heartforce Tokens, and his Mental Force energy and Mental Force laws had also been greatly enhanced, Ye Yunfei still didn’t know how to find the treasures left by the master of this city.
At that moment, the thirty Heartforce Tokens suddenly emitted dazzling light simultaneously, then unleashed powerful teleportation energy that instantly enveloped Ye Yunfei’s body and teleported him.
Ye Yunfei was startled at first, then realized that the thirty Heartforce Tokens had finally reacted.
Ye Yunfei did not resist, allowing the teleportation energy to envelop him. After roughly the time it takes to breathe once, he found himself standing before a grand palace.
“That’s strange. I had assumed this city only had dense, crisscrossing streets and didn’t spot any palaces. Yet now one has suddenly appeared.”
Ye Yunfei stood before the palace gates, looking at the tall palace in front of him, and spoke in confusion.
“Could it be that the treasures left by this city’s master are inside this palace?”
After examining it for a moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of this possibility. Feeling somewhat expectant, he stepped forward and entered.
At the same time, within the city, the Third Prince of the Heavenly God Hall was leading a group of Heavenly God Hall personnel, searching everywhere for Ye Yunfei.
“Brat, once I find you, everything on your person will belong to me—especially the treasures left by this city’s master!
Moreover, I will then tear your body to shreds, to let the world know the consequences of offending me, the Third Prince!”
The moment the Third Prince remembered Ye Yunfei snatching those two Heartforce Tokens, causing all his efforts to go to waste, blazing fury surged in his heart.
The Heavenly God Hall members following the Third Prince saw his face so dark and dared not even breathe loudly, moving with extreme caution.
“That kid really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! To have provoked the Third Prince to such an extent!
What status does the Third Prince hold? Just you wait and see, that kid will soon regret it!”
Every Heavenly God Hall member secretly thought this.
Not only the Heavenly God Hall forces, but several other groups from various factions were also searching everywhere for Ye Yunfei within the city.
Particularly the Black Wind Group, led by two Heavenly Immortals, swept forward with a roar, swiftly rushing through one street after another.
Others in the city were shocked to see so many faction forces collectively hunting Ye Yunfei.
Simultaneously, the bounty decree issued by the Third Prince had also spread. Many who received the news began to stir, deciding that if they encountered Ye Yunfei, they would capture him, claim the reward, and furthermore gain a favor owed by the Heavenly God Hall’s Third Prince. In the future, they could even seek help from the Heavenly God Hall if needed.
One could say the conditions offered by the Third Prince were extremely tempting. Even those who originally held no grudge against Ye Yunfei began paying attention to his whereabouts.
“Damnation!
The Black Wind Group had already captured those Xiao twins, only for that Ye brat to show up and cause trouble again, rescuing them!
Otherwise, by now I could have taken those Xiao twins back to report to Young Master Zhan Yuan!”
In a certain street within the city, an old man gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
Dozens of people followed behind this old man. All were members of the Zhan Clan!
“Keep searching!
According to the information provided by the Black Wind Group, that Ye brat is most likely still in this city. The Xiao twins are certainly with him.
Now that kid has provoked so many major factions, stirred public anger, and everyone is looking for him. I reckon even if he grew wings he couldn’t fly away. This is our best chance to deal with him!”
The old man declared loudly, leading the dozens of Zhan Clan members forward to continue searching for Ye Yunfei.
“That kid is merely a Golden Immortal, yet he can actually withstand Heavenly Immortal attacks head-on. What is the reason for this?
Could he really be such a monstrous talent?”
In another street, the two Heavenly Immortals of the Black Wind Group were leading their forces in search of Ye Yunfei when one Heavenly Immortal suddenly voiced his confusion.
Earlier, these two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortals had attacked Ye Yunfei but failed to do anything to him, allowing Ye Yunfei to leave with ease.
“I also find it strange. Logically speaking, a mere Golden Immortal, no matter how strong, shouldn’t be able to contend with us Heavenly Immortals. Yet we just couldn’t do anything to him!”
The other Heavenly Immortal also nodded.
“I remember when we fought him, he used some kind of sinister technique. Not only did it kill many of our Black Wind Group members, but even the two of us were restrained.
At the time, I couldn’t figure out what kind of sinister technique that was, to be so bizarre and possess such terrifying power.
But now I roughly know what technique he was using. If I’m not mistaken, it’s most likely Mental Force energy, or some very high-level Mental Force-related technique or secret art!”
The first Heavenly Immortal thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
“Mental Force energy!
Hearing you say that, I think it’s indeed possible!
However, how could that kid’s Mental Force energy level be so high? Using it, he was actually able to restrain the two of us!
From what I know, although his strength was also considerable before, having killed many of our Black Wind Group members, it wasn’t this outrageous—to the point of opposing Heavenly Immortal experts!
Could it be that his Mental Force energy level has advanced by leaps and bounds during this period?”
The other Heavenly Immortal first nodded, then spoke with renewed confusion.
“His previous strength indeed wasn’t as strong as it is now.
I’ve heard that cultivating Mental Force energy is extremely difficult. It requires a massive investment of time and effort just to make some progress. His Mental Force energy level couldn’t have advanced by leaps and bounds in such a short time.
I suspect the most likely scenario is that after entering this city, he obtained a very high-level Mental Force energy-type treasure. It’s precisely by relying on that treasure that he can unleash such powerful Mental Force energy!”
The first Heavenly Immortal frowned in thought for a moment, then suddenly had an inspiration and blurted it out.
“A high-level Mental Force energy-type treasure!
That possibility cannot be ruled out!
Because the master of this city must have been an expert skilled in Mental Force energy. It’s quite possible he left some Mental Force energy-type treasures within this city, which that kid accidentally obtained!”
The other Heavenly Immortal said with sudden realization.
“If that’s the case, then if we snatch that Mental Force energy-type treasure from his hands, perhaps we too could unleash powerful Mental Force energy!”
As the two Heavenly Immortals reached this point, their eyes revealed expressions of greed.
They recalled the situation when they fought Ye Yunfei not long ago—they were suddenly subjected to bizarre attacks. Even as Heavenly Immortals, they couldn’t sense them in advance nor dodge them.
A treasure that even Heavenly Immortals cannot evade—one can imagine how powerful it is!
“No matter what, we must find that kid, seize back the Xiao twins, take that Mental Force energy-type treasure from him, and then tear him to shreds!”
After this line of reasoning, these two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortal experts were even more eager to find Ye Yunfei.
Not only these two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortals held this conjecture; Heavenly Immortals from other factions who had fought Ye Yunfei also had similar thoughts. This was because earlier, during the process of seizing Heartforce Tokens, Ye Yunfei had fought Heavenly Immortals from several factions, each time employing his Formless Heart Sword.
Now, everyone speculated that Ye Yunfei most likely had obtained a very high-level Mental Force energy-type treasure, which was why he could unleash such powerful Mental Force energy attacks.
“Once we find that kid, we must seize that Mental Force energy-type treasure from him!”
A Primary Heavenly Immortal from the Demon Race licked his lips and spoke in a greedy tone.
At this time, Ye Yunfei had already entered the palace.
The palace was actually relatively small in scale and completely empty inside.
As soon as Ye Yunfei entered the palace, he saw a stone table placed right at the center.
On the tabletop sat a white, three-layered pagoda, a jade slip recording a cultivation technique, and ten spatial rings.
That was everything!
Ye Yunfei walked up to the stone table, looked at the items on it, and felt somewhat excited.
He knew these items must be the treasures left by the master of this city. Having collected a full thirty Heartforce Tokens, those tokens had teleported him here.
“I’ve finally obtained the treasures left by this city’s master!”
Ye Yunfei was extremely excited.
He understood that the items before him must be priceless treasures!
“Young man, at such a young age, through your own efforts, you have cultivated Mental Force energy to this level. That’s truly commendable.”
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to reach out to take the items on the table, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Yunfei jumped in fright and hurriedly took a step back. He then saw a figure slowly coalescing on the other side of the stone table.
Moments later, an old man stood there, looking at Ye Yunfei with profound eyes.
“Greetings, Senior!” Ye Yunfei hurriedly paid his respects respectfully.
“Young man, you have collected thirty Heartforce Tokens. All these items belong to you.”
The old man pointed at the items on the table and spoke.
“Many thanks, Senior, for gifting me these treasures!” Ye Yunfei replied, his attitude extremely respectful.
Ye Yunfei understood in his heart that this old man before him was most likely the master of this city.
“No need for thanks. This is what you deserve. Whoever enters here, as long as they manage to find thirty tokens through their own ability, is qualified to receive these treasures I left behind.”
The old man spoke in a mild tone.
“Senior, do you mean no one has ever collected thirty Heartforce Tokens here before?”
Hearing the old man’s words, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat curious and cautiously asked.
“In the past, my traveling palace has always remained closed, in a sealed state. So no one has been able to enter.
Some time ago, I sensed the energy of this Soul Power imprint I left behind was gradually beginning to deplete. I estimate it cannot sustain for many more years, so I opened this traveling palace, hoping to find a destined individual to whom I could pass on these treasures.
Otherwise, these treasures would forever be sealed here, never to see the light of day again.”
The old man smiled, then spoke.
“So that’s how it is. This city has never been opened before, so no one was able to come here exploring for treasures.
It seems my luck is pretty good. When this city opened, I happened to be adventuring in the Void Secret Realm and managed to enter here. That’s how I had this stroke of destiny, allowing my Mental Force energy to improve dramatically.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but feel secretly fortunate.
“Alright, young man, the energy of this Soul Power imprint of mine is running out. I don’t wish to speak with you much longer.
Take these things away.
I will seal this Soul Power imprint into this pagoda. In the future, it will become part of this pagoda.”
The old man pointed at the white, three-layered pagoda on the tabletop.
Hearing the old man’s words, Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but be taken aback.
If this old man sealed himself into the pagoda, it would be equivalent to following Ye Yunfei henceforth.
Ye Yunfei guessed this old man’s true body was most likely a Deity!
Even if it’s just a Soul Power imprint left by a Deity, it would be quite extraordinary.
“This Soul Power imprint of mine is almost in a state of oil-dry lamp-extinction. Most of its memories are already lost. In the time to come, I will enter a state of dormancy within this Heart-Refining Tower and sleep deeply.
Whether there will be a chance to wake up again in the future is hard to say.”
The old man sighed.
“Young man, now I am going to seal myself into the Heart-Refining Tower.
This Heart-Refining Tower has a much higher grade and far greater utility than that Heart-Refining Pearl above your head. You will discover its uses in the future.
You possess great talent in Mental Force energy. Strive diligently, and you will surely achieve even greater accomplishments in the future.
Remember, I am a descendant of Heart Gate. Heart Gate is an extremely ancient faction. This jade slip contains the heritage of our Heart Gate. After cultivating it, you can also be considered a descendant of our Heart Gate. When your cultivation reaches fruition in the future, you can endeavor to propagate and expand our Heart Gate.”
The old man continued.
