"My four friends, come with me back to the Qiancang World Group first. Our Shen family will soon have a major operation, and we hope you can lend your aid."
Moments later, that Perfected Heavenly Immortal of the Shen family forced himself to calm down, collected his emotions, and spoke to the four Perfected Heavenly Immortals who had rushed over to help.
"A major operation?"
The four Perfected Heavenly Immortals were taken aback.
"Indeed.
Rest assured, if you four can come and assist, our Shen family will absolutely not treat you poorly," said the Shen family's Perfected Heavenly Immortal.
"Very well, we shall follow Brother Shen Min back," said one of the four Perfected Heavenly Immortals after exchanging glances and nodding simultaneously with his companions.
They all knew the Shen family was a major clan in the Qiancang World Group and was always particular about grandeur. If the Shen family agreed to give a reward, it would certainly be substantial.
"Good, let's hurry back now!"
Shen Min said, then led the four Perfected Heavenly Immortals in rushing back towards the Qiancang World Group.
"You fought quite merrily in that battle."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was traveling through the vast Chaotic Void, advancing towards the Tianyan World Cluster.
In fact, Ye Yunfei's route to the Tianyan World Cluster wasn't too different from Shen Min's group's route back to the Qiancang World Group, as the two world clusters were not far apart to begin with.
It was just that Ye Yunfei was ahead, and Shen Min's group was behind, so they missed each other.
"Indeed. Fighting eight Heavenly Immortals simultaneously was a very rewarding experience for me. Especially the battle against a Perfected Heavenly Immortal—it was an exceedingly rare combat experience," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
One could say this battle gave Ye Yunfei an accurate understanding of his current combat power and greatly boosted his confidence.
The current Ye Yunfei no longer feared Heavenly Immortals.
In the past, Heavenly Immortals were considered experts to Ye Yunfei, but now they no longer qualified as such!
"With your current comprehensive combat power, you can already engage Perfected Heavenly Immortals. Once you break through to become a Heavenly Immortal, you will likely be able to defeat the vast majority of them.
In fact, you can already defeat many Heavenly Immortals even now," Hun Lao said.
"I intend to cultivate the Nine-Nine Return to True Immortal technique at the Golden Immortal level, so I won't be breaking through to Heavenly Immortal anytime soon.
In the future, at every major realm, I will cultivate the Nine-Nine Return to True Immortal technique," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Hmm, good. Only by cultivating the Nine-Nine Return to True Immortal technique at every realm will your chances of breaking through to become a Deity be greater in the future," the Remnant Soul suddenly interjected.
"Senior, how is your current situation? It seems you have already ended your seclusion," Ye Yunfei sensed that the Remnant Soul had emerged from seclusion and couldn't help but ask joyfully.
Previously, this Remnant Soul had taken twenty Divine Crystals into seclusion for cultivation. Although he occasionally communicated with Ye Yunfei afterwards, most of his time was still spent in secluded cultivation. Now, he had clearly emerged.
"Indeed, I have ended my seclusion," the Remnant Soul said with a laugh.
In the next moment, a graceful middle-aged man appeared before Ye Yunfei.
"Senior…
You now possess a flesh-and-blood body?"
Ye Yunfei looked at the middle-aged man before him, sensing his physical body, a bit disbelieving as he spoke.
"Yes. After refining twenty Divine Crystals, I have preliminarily acquired a flesh-and-blood body. Although my current body's blood qi is not vigorous enough, far inferior to my demigod body of the past, I am at least no longer in the state of a remnant soul but a living person now," the middle-aged man said, turning around to examine his new body.
"Though the blood and qi of my new physical body is not vigorous enough now, don't underestimate it. This is a body I reshaped using twenty Divine Crystals. Its foundation is extremely solid. In the future, I will forge this body into an incredibly tough semi-divine physique!"
The middle-aged man seemed to quite admire his new body.
"Senior, what is your current cultivation realm?"
Ye Yunfei probed the middle-aged man's body and asked curiously.
"The realm of this body should currently be that of a Perfected Golden Immortal. However, my true combat power is no weaker than yours.
Because my situation is relatively complex; one cannot simply use realm to measure my combat strength," the middle-aged man said.
"Ye Yunfei, thank you for bringing me out of the Samsara Passage in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and for providing me with ample resources all this time. That is why I could so quickly regain a physical body and a new lease on life.
Now, I intend to venture out on my own to seek opportunities to restore my former realm and strength. The path I must walk is different from yours, so from now on, I will not accompany you," the middle-aged man stated.
"Very well. Senior is right. You have your own path; you cannot always be by my side," Ye Yunfei said reluctantly but nodded in agreement.
"What path or not! You're just planning to sneak off to retrieve your old treasures and don't want to take us along, dressing it up with fine words," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm immediately objected with a pout.
This was because the middle-aged man had once mentioned that he had several treasure troves in the Chaotic Void Sea and planned to retrieve them later as the foundation for his resurgence.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had been eyeing them all along.
"Haha…
I do indeed have a few treasure troves and indeed plan to retrieve them.
However, rest assured, I will leave a portion of those treasures for you all.
I was once a Demigod expert, and those troves of mine are still quite substantial. I will select some treasures suitable for you and leave them for you," the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh upon hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's words.
"You have to keep your word!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pressed immediately.
"Don't worry, have I ever gone back on my word?
Furthermore, once I restore my Demigod strength, I'll take you all out to be awesome together.
A Demigod still commands quite some respect in the Chaotic Void Sea!"
the middle-aged man said.
"Alright, everyone, I'm off. Take care!"
The middle-aged man was very free-spirited and immediately bid farewell to Ye Yunfei and the others.
He knew of the existence of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Hun Lao.
"Senior, wait! I have a batch of resources here for you to take along," Ye Yunfei hurriedly said.
"No need.
Don't worry, I have a treasure trove not far from here. It won't be long before I am extremely wealthy.
I'm off."
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
"Senior, you take care too," Ye Yunfei waved as he spoke.
The middle-aged man turned and strode away.
Regaining his physical body meant a brand new beginning for him. He couldn't wait to seize the time to restore his former realm and strength and regain his past glory. How could he possibly be in the mood to continue following Ye Yunfei around?
Ye Yunfei certainly understood this sentiment.
"Ah, I almost forgot to mention. Back in the day, I had a title in the Chaotic Void Sea: The Carefree Demigod. If, not long from now, you hear that The Carefree Demigod has reappeared in the Chaotic Void Sea, you don't need to ask; it'll be me."
The middle-aged man's movement speed was extremely fast; he vanished into the distance in an instant and then disappeared. Following that, a voice traveled back from afar, sounding right in front of Ye Yunfei.
