Ye Yunfei made a selection from the five space rings and took out nine piles of cultivation resources, each belonging to nine different attributes, corresponding to the Nine Divine Beasts.
The nine piles of resources were stacked into nine small mountain peaks, a staggering quantity!
However, compared to all the various treasures stored inside those five space rings, these cultivation resources were but a drop in the ocean.
Roar…
The Nine Divine Beasts materialized simultaneously, their divine auras earth-shattering, unleashing powerful energy pressures.
Immediately after, the Nine Divine Beasts began devouring those nine resource piles.
The cultivation method for the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel was extremely simple; as long as these Nine Divine Beasts consumed vast quantities of corresponding cultivation resources, they could continuously increase their power and upgrade.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei activated the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture. Within his body, the eight Chaos God Meridians manifested together like eight great rivers, an endless torrent of immortal power surging within them with imposing grandeur.
Whoosh…
The eight divine veins erupted with powerful suction force simultaneously, refining and absorbing the immense piles of cultivation resources placed around Ye Yunfei.
In addition to the nine piles meant for cultivating the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, Ye Yunfei had also taken out another massive batch of cultivation resources to cultivate the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei went into seclusion cultivation, assaulting his realm.
Time flew by. Unconsciously, three years had passed within the Phantom Tower.
Three years later.
“Finally, the heavenly tribulation arrives!”
Ye Yunfei, who had been cultivating the entire time, suddenly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat excited.
At this moment, the Nine Divine Beasts were still not far away, continuing to devour cultivation resources.
The amount of cultivation resources consumed by the Nine Divine Beasts over the past three years was truly astounding.
Fortunately, the quantity of various resources stored within those five space rings was terrifyingly vast. In these three years, the Nine Divine Beasts had only consumed a small portion!
Furthermore, aside from the resources from those five rings, Ye Yunfei had also obtained an enormous amount of various treasures from the Void Secret Realm earlier.
Adding Ye Yunfei's previous accumulated wealth, and the fact that every time Ye Yunfei defeated and killed an enemy, he had a habit—taking all the wealth they left behind for himself!
So Ye Yunfei's personal wealth was frighteningly rich!
Even after consuming constantly for three years, the Nine Divine Beasts had only consumed a minor portion of Ye Yunfei's cultivation resources!
After three years of continuously consuming various cultivation resources, the improvement in the Nine Divine Beasts' power was also quite noticeable.
Ye Yunfei made an estimate. He felt the combat prowess of these Nine Divine Beasts now should be equivalent to Advanced Heavenly Immortal, possibly even Perfected Heavenly Immortal!
This was mainly because, in the past three years, Ye Yunfei had fed the Nine Divine Beasts extremely high-grade cultivation resources. Good food made for robust growth, naturally resulting in greater power!
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he exited the Phantom Tower, standing above the valley.
High above the valley, a vast expanse of heavy, dark tribulation clouds had long gathered, resembling a boundless black sea.
“Let's begin!”
Ye Yunfei stepped up into the air, actively provoking the tribulation lightning.
Lei Ze followed closely by his side.
Boom…
Monstrous thunderbolts roared down as if bent on destroying the world.
Approximately one day later.
“Perfected Golden Immortal.”
After the tribulation ended, Ye Yunfei, standing in the sky, savored the celestial immortal energy within. “Next is to cultivate the Ninety-Nine Return to the True Immortal stage for this Golden Immortal level.”
Cultivating the Ninety-Nine Return to the True Immortal mainly involved avoiding nine heavenly tribulations, after which one could reach the most perfect state for the Golden Immortal level, and only then attempt to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm.
“Next, I should focus on cultivating Mental Force energy and the Heavenly Dao Palm for a while.”
After some thought, Ye Yunfei returned to the Phantom Tower, preparing to continue secluded cultivation.
In the Void Secret Realm earlier, although Ye Yunfei's gains had been immense, he had also been constantly hunted by the members of those major powers and many other experts, appearing somewhat disheveled.
Such experiences made Ye Yunfei realize that his current combat power was still far from sufficient!
To fare well in the Chaotic Void Sea, he must greatly enhance his own strength!
Inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei directly entered the Heart-Refining Tower.
Rumble…
Terrible Mental Force energy surged and swept in from all directions, crashing against Ye Yunfei's body like towering waves.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, took out large quantities of Mental Force cultivation resources, and began cultivating Mental Force energy.
Swoosh!
A jade slip of a technique appeared, floating before Ye Yunfei.
Among the five jade slips Ye Yunfei had obtained from the three stone tables on the plaza, four could not be perceived for now. Only this one was perceivable.
Carved within this jade slip was a technique named Heavenly Dao Palm!
Ye Yunfei's two soul bodies, one was used to cultivate Mental Force energy, the other to study and cultivate the Heavenly Dao Palm.
“This Heavenly Dao Palm actually contains detailed explanations regarding the hierarchy of world Laws!”
Not long after, Ye Yunfei revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
It turned out the palm technique’s treatise within the Heavenly Dao Palm detailed the classification of Laws by grade.
So-called Laws were the various rules and patterns existing within time and space. These rules, though invisible and intangible, could be comprehended, cultivated, and utilized.
From low to high, the hierarchy of Laws was divided into World Laws, Great Dao Laws, and Chaos Laws.
So-called World Laws consisted of two levels: the Laws within a single world, and the Laws within a world cluster.
Great Dao Laws were one level higher, transcending any specific world or cluster, and were applicable across different worlds and clusters.
Chaos Laws were even more advanced, said to be the most ancient and primitive Laws within the Chaos Void, the foundational source from which Great Dao Laws and World Laws were born—described as the Law within Laws!
Generally, only Deity-level mighty figures could comprehend and cultivate Chaos Laws.
For immortal realm practitioners, only those at the Heavenly Immortal level began to preliminarily comprehend Great Dao Laws.
As for Golden Immortals and those of lower strength, they typically comprehended and cultivated World Laws.
“World Laws, Great Dao Laws, Chaos Laws… So that's how the Laws of the world are hierarchically categorized.”
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
In fact, Ye Yunfei had come into contact with Laws long ago and had some preliminary, scattered knowledge about their levels. Only now had he gained a relatively systematic and complete understanding.
The cultivation method of the Heavenly Dao Palm was primarily Great Dao Laws.
The treatise on the palm technique provided detailed methods for comprehending and cultivating Great Dao Laws.
Moreover, only after comprehending and cultivating three or more types of Great Dao Laws could one succeed in cultivating the Heavenly Dao Palm.
“Alright, it seems the first step in cultivating the Heavenly Dao Palm is to comprehend and cultivate three types of Great Dao Laws.”
After repeatedly reading the Heavenly Dao Palm treatise multiple times, Ye Yunfei said to himself.
“The Laws I’ve cultivated include Spatial Laws, Time Laws, Thunder and Lightning Laws, Mental Force Laws, Sword Dao Laws, as well as Metal Laws, Wood Laws, Water Laws, Fire Laws, Earth Laws, and so on. I’ll first choose three that I am most proficient in for comprehension and cultivation.”
Ye Yunfei recalled each of the Laws he had comprehended and cultivated before, thinking aloud.
“My more proficient ones should be Earth Laws, Spatial Laws and Time Laws, also Mental Force Laws... Sword Dao Laws seem quite good too.
I’ll start by comprehending and cultivating Earth Laws, Spatial Laws, and Sword Dao Laws.”
After careful consideration, Ye Yunfei finally made a decision.
Ye Yunfei had delved deeply into Geomancy in the past, and the primary Law in Geomancy was Earth Laws, making him very familiar with this Law.
He was also very familiar with Spatial Laws and Sword Dao Laws.
“Begin comprehending!”
After selecting Earth Laws, Spatial Laws, and Sword Dao Laws, Ye Yunfei began to contemplate them with a calm heart.
Previously, Ye Yunfei mainly comprehended World Laws. Now, he was to comprehend Great Dao Laws—a different level entirely.
Fortunately, the treatise of the Heavenly Dao Palm contained detailed introductions to Great Dao Laws, providing Ye Yunfei with great convenience.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei had always possessed considerable talent and accomplishment in the area of Laws.
Ye Yunfei’s two soul bodies jointly engaged in comprehension!
Unconsciously, a year had passed within the Phantom Tower.
“I have finally preliminarily comprehended the Great Dao Earth Laws!”
A year later, Ye Yunfei let out a breath and said softly.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei continued his contemplation.
Time flew by. Another year passed.
“I have now preliminarily comprehended the Great Dao Spatial Laws!”
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke.
Another year later.
“I have also achieved a preliminary comprehension of the Great Dao Sword Laws!”
Ye Yunfei abruptly opened his eyes, sharp glints of sword light flickering within his gaze.
Shiiing…
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and slashed out, a thick beam of sword radiance sweeping out, directly cleaving the space before him in half.
“After comprehending Great Dao Sword Laws, my Ten Thousand Swords Return To One technique has reached the level of seven hundred thousand swords returning to one!
Compared to when I left the 3,000 Major World, my sword Dao skill has more than doubled!”
Ye Yunfei exclaimed excitedly.
He hadn't expected that comprehending Great Dao Sword Laws would yield such an unexpected benefit, dramatically raising the level of Ten Thousand Swords Return To One.
At the level of seven hundred thousand swords returning to one, Ye Yunfei estimated he could already fight Advanced Heavenly Immortals relying solely on sword techniques!
“Good, now I can cultivate the Heavenly Dao Palm!”
Ye Yunfei declared.
Having gained preliminary mastery over three types of Great Dao Laws, he had met the conditions to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Palm.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei continued secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower, studying and practicing the Heavenly Dao Palm.
Roughly half a year later.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes, extended his hand, and lightly pressed forward. A colossal palm print instantly formed—magnificent, imposing, carved with numerous profound runes, divine radiance gleaming brilliantly, each finger seeming like a towering divine mountain, incredibly weighty. With the closing of the five fingers, dragon and elephant roars erupted, full of terrifying power!
This palm print emitted an immensely formidable oppressive feeling, as if representing the will of the Heavenly Dao itself—able to judge everything, crush everything, annihilate everything!
“The power of this palm technique is extremely terrifying!
It is the most powerful palm technique I have ever seen!
It seems you have stumbled upon a treasure!”
The remnant soul suddenly exclaimed in shock.
“This Heavenly Dao Palm was very likely left behind by the Void God. Naturally, its power is quite impressive.”
Looking at the majestic palm imprint before him, Ye Yunfei felt quite satisfied. This meant that he now possessed yet another powerful martial technique for facing enemies.
“Now that you’ve mastered this palm technique, we’re ready to explore the Chaotic Void Sea, right?”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei.
“Wait a moment. I need some more time to properly sort through and digest all the various gains from the Void Secret Realm.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before answering.
Ye Yunfei then sat down cross-legged.
His harvests from the Void Secret Realm were extremely abundant, and he hadn't had time to properly organize them yet.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, and a pill furnace flew out, hovering before him.
This pill furnace was obtained from a desert region.
It was an alchemy pill furnace left behind by a Deity!
Later, within the Void Realm, it was summoned away by that little Daoist boy to be used for alchemy, as the little Daoist boy was the true owner of the furnace. Later, the Daoist boy gifted the furnace to Ye Yunfei, also telling Ye Yunfei that the furnace contained a portion of his alchemy insights and experiences, which could be studied.
“The alchemy insights and experiences left by a Deity are far too precious!
I must definitely find time to study them properly, learn that senior's alchemy legacy. It will surely allow my alchemy skills to improve drastically!”
Examining the pill furnace before him and recalling the little Daoist boy's message to him within the Void Realm, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel excitement.
“However, for now, I won’t study this pill furnace. I’ll set aside a dedicated time for it later.”
Ye Yunfei said to himself, putting the furnace away.
Ye Yunfei then waved his hand, and a multi-colored lake materialized. Within the lake churned water of various hues—or more accurately, a viscous liquid, emanating a strange energy aura.
The Stone God Pool!
This was also a treasure Ye Yunfei obtained in the Void Secret Realm.
However, so far, Ye Yunfei did not know the purpose of this Stone God Pool.
Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power perception entered the interior of this Stone God Pool to study the liquid within.
For the first while, he discovered nothing.
However, after a short half-day, Ye Yunfei suddenly had a flash of insight.
Ye Yunfei discovered that the lake water within the Stone God Pool seemed to contain a peculiar energy that acted upon the physical body.
Because Ye Yunfei had gained some insights in physical body cultivation in the past, he could sensitively detect that this lake water seemed greatly beneficial to the physical body.
“Could it be…”
Ye Yunfei formed a conjecture.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei’s figure flashed as he directly leaped into that multicolored lake.
Rumble…
The surrounding lake water immediately roared and surged, churning toward Ye Yunfei’s body to envelop him.
Ye Yunfei then discovered that one stream after another of strange energy continuously surged into his physical body.
“Indeed, the liquid in this Stone God Pool provides enormous benefits to the physical body!”
Ye Yunfei was slightly thrilled, finally discovering the purpose of this Stone God Pool.
