"Since you have already made your decision, when will you depart?" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and asked.
"We are already packing our belongings, and before we leave, we need to bid farewell to some old acquaintances. After all, we have lived in this world cluster for such a long time and have quite a number of connections. Once everything is settled, we will set off," Tianying Wang said.
"Very well. Inform me when you are ready to depart, and I will send escorts to see you off. The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds have caught the attention of many major forces. I suspect the nearby space is not safe; there could be ambushes by forces from those major factions. I will send people to escort you far away from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds until you reach a relatively safe distance. Then, you can continue your journey on your own," Ye Yunfei thought it over and said.
"That is good, thank you for your trouble, Young Master Ye," Tianying Wang did not refuse, knowing Ye Yunfei was right. The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were indeed being watched by many major forces. Although those forces had been driven away by Ye Yunfei, they were likely still lurking in the void surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. The overall strength of the Tianying Clan was too weak; if they encountered any of those major forces, their fate would be utter annihilation.
After that, Ye Yunfei left Tianying Realm and entered the Dark Faction's territory.
"Our great hero who just saved the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds actually came to a small place like the Dark Faction's territory," Lü Dandan appeared before Ye Yunfei. Her curvaceous figure was surrounded by vast amounts of dark energy, churning and roiling, with faint, shadowy, ferocious-looking silhouettes looming behind her.
Ye Yunfei knew those shadows hidden within the black mist were phenomena manifested from Lü Dandan's cultivation of dark-element techniques.
"Young Mistress Lü, you jest. How could your territory be considered a small place?" Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Lü Dandan's beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yunfei, and suddenly, a complex feeling arose in her heart as she remembered a certain special sentiment she once held for him. She had always secretly liked Ye Yunfei, but she knew his heart belonged only to Su Qingluo, so she later forcefully suppressed these feelings.
"Young Master Ye." While Ye Yunfei and Lü Dandan were speaking, a middle-aged man hurried over from a distance. It was Lü Yugang, Lü Dandan's father.
Lü Dandan was the Dark Queen of the Dark Faction and had brought her father to reside within its territory, building a palace for him to live in.
"Chief Hall Master, long time no see," Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Young Master Ye, I heard from Dandan a few days ago that you had returned. I was planning to find time to visit you, but I never expected you to come see us in the Dark Faction territory so soon," Lü Yugang was very enthusiastic; he had gotten along quite well with Ye Yunfei in the past.
Next, Lü Yugang invited Ye Yunfei to the palace where he usually lived, set up a banquet, and treated him to a feast.
"Young Master Ye, Dandan told me she plans to leave the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to venture into the Chaotic Void Sea. Venturing out for experience is a good thing, but she is a young woman traveling alone, and I'm a bit worried. Young Master Ye, why not let Dandan follow you? I believe you will soon venture into the Chaotic Void Sea again after this return. It would be good for Dandan to travel with you; you could look out for each other," Lü Yugang suddenly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"Father, what are you saying? When did I ever say I wanted to venture out with Young Master Ye? I plan to go alone!" Lü Dandan, sitting nearby, blushed instantly upon hearing her father's words. She knew his true intention was to make her and Ye Yunfei a pair, as he had mentioned this matter to her before.
"Dandan, I think it's better for you to go with Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye's strength is so formidable now; I would only feel at ease if you traveled with him," Lü Yugang said to Lü Dandan.
"Young Mistress Lü, are you planning to leave the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?" Ye Yunfei asked Lü Dandan.
In fact, Lü Dandan had mentioned it to Ye Yunfei before, so he knew she would eventually leave the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to venture into the Chaotic Void Sea for training.
"Yes, I will leave soon to see the world outside. Staying in this world cluster no longer offers much room for growth for me," Lü Dandan nodded.
"You are right. If you seek greater development, you indeed need to see and experience the world outside," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, let Dandan travel with you. What do you think?" Lü Yugang asked again.
"That depends on Young Mistress Lü's wishes. I have no objections," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"Father, please don't say anymore. I intend to venture out alone. Although Young Master Ye is strong, if I travel with him, he would have to protect me from everything. What would be the point of that? If so, I might as well stay in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Lü Dandan spoke up.
"This... Well, alright then," Lü Yugang had to give up after hearing Lü Dandan's words.
"Then, Young Mistress Lü, there's no need to rush your departure from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. I will refine some pills for you; consuming them should allow your realm and strength to improve. I will also refine various other pills for you to carry with you for emergencies," Ye Yunfei thought and said to Lü Dandan.
"That's good! I'll listen to you," Lü Dandan nodded. She knew Ye Yunfei's alchemy skills were excellent. Having a batch of pills on hand would indeed be a great help.
Then, Ye Yunfei left the Dark Faction territory and found Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu. He instructed them to gather all the relatively strong beings within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. He would refine pills for them according to their needs.
Next, Ye Yunfei found Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao and gave them the same instructions.
Afterward, Ye Yunfei returned to Canghuang Realm.
Not long after, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu brought a large group of relatively strong beings from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to Canghuang Realm. This group not only had relatively good strength but were also quite loyal to Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu. Most of them were members of the Guangming Faction.
Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao also brought a group of people from the Qianfang World Cluster to Canghuang Realm.
Ye Yunfei spent some time getting to know these people brought to Canghuang Realm in detail. Then, he had them find places within Canghuang Realm to go into closed-door cultivation. He would refine the various pills they needed.
Ye Yunfei found a secluded spot in Canghuang Realm, set up a Small World using formations, entered it, and then entered the Phantom Tower. He took out his alchemy furnace and began pill refinement.
Ye Yunfei separated over a dozen clones, took out over a dozen alchemy furnaces, and began refining pills simultaneously.
Ever since obtaining that alchemy furnace in the Void Secret Realm and comprehending the Deity-level alchemy legacy contained within, his alchemy skills had grown increasingly powerful. He could now refine Half-God level pills.
In the following time, Ye Yunfei's main body and over a dozen clones tirelessly refined pills.
As time passed, the number of pills Ye Yunfei refined grew.
Since he had done his research before refining, the pills Ye Yunfei produced were highly targeted.
Every so often, Ye Yunfei would hand over the pills he refined to Old Man Chu, Chan Master Tianwu, Kong Lao, and Ouyang Tao for distribution.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei specifically refined batches of suitable pills for Lü Dandan, Tianying Wang, the Vermilion Bird King, and others, sending people to deliver them.
Roughly half a month later, tribulation crossings began in Canghuang Realm.
The people gathered in Canghuang Realm for cultivation, whether from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds or the Qianfang World Cluster, all had good aptitudes. After taking and refining the pills Ye Yunfei made for them, their progress was immense. They began to break through their realms in a short time.
In the following period, thunder tribulations occurred in Canghuang Realm almost every hour.
The rumbling sound of thunder echoed grandly throughout the world.
Ye Yunfei continued to stay inside the Phantom Tower, his main body and over a dozen clones refining pills nonstop.
During the pill-refining process, Ye Yunfei also took time to comprehend the alchemy furnace he obtained in the Void Secret Realm.
This alchemy furnace concealed the alchemy legacy of an ancient Deity, mysterious and profound. Although Ye Yunfei had spent time comprehending it before, he had not yet fully grasped it.
Thus, for an entire month, Ye Yunfei remained inside the Phantom Tower, simultaneously comprehending the Deity-level alchemy legacy hidden within the furnace and refining an astonishing number of pills.
It was only after a month that Ye Yunfei stopped refining pills.
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower and handed over all the pills he had refined to Old Man Chu, Chan Master Tianwu, Kong Lao, and Ouyang Tao for distribution.
"Young Master Ye, during this period, our Qianfang World Cluster has gained over twenty more Perfected Heavenly Immortals, and the number of Advanced Heavenly Immortals has increased by thirty or forty! It can be said that of our hundred or so Heavenly Immortals in the Qianfang World Cluster, over half are now Advanced or Perfected Heavenly Immortals!" Kong Lao said excitedly to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, the quality of the pills you refined is simply too good! For beings at the Heavenly Immortal level, they are nothing short of miraculous elixirs!" Ouyang Tao exclaimed.
"Our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds have gained over two hundred more Golden Immortals during this time! The overall strength has skyrocketed!" Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu appeared even more excited, their voices trembling as they spoke.
Gaining over two hundred Golden Immortals at once was unimaginable for the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds of the past.
This was mainly because Ye Yunfei's alchemy skill was too high, and the effects of the pills he refined were too potent. All the beings who consumed his pills achieved breakthroughs, some even breaking through several levels in rapid succession.
Of course, this was also because, in the recent past, many forces from outside had entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, creating too much slaughter and war. The native beings of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had undergone many trials and accumulated profound foundations; now, they were erupting with breakthroughs!
"Ye Yunfei, thank you for refining those pills for me during this time," Lü Dandan suddenly arrived in Canghuang Realm and said to him.
"Young Mistress Lü, are you planning to set off?" Seeing her arrival, Ye Yunfei roughly guessed her intention.
"Yes, I am preparing to depart from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Lü Dandan nodded.
"I have a batch of pills here, refined specifically for you. Take them with you. They include various types for different purposes; they should be helpful to you," Ye Yunfei took out a large quantity of pills and presented them to Lü Dandan.
"Thank you," Lü Dandan did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted the pills Ye Yunfei gifted her. These pills would be very useful to her.
"I will depart now. After I leave the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, please look after my father. He is my greatest worry," Lü Dandan said.
"Don't worry. If I am in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, I will definitely watch over Chief Hall Master. If I leave in the future, I will also arrange for people to look after him," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Thank you," Lü Dandan said gratefully. As her departure neared, her father was naturally her greatest concern. After all, Lü Yugang's strength was relatively weak; in these chaotic times, he would be helpless against even moderately strong experts.
"By the way, after I go to the outside world, I will keep an eye out for any news about Sister Qingluo. Once I have any information about her, I will find a way to notify you immediately," Lü Dandan turned to leave. After taking a few steps, she suddenly paused, turned her head, and said to Ye Yunfei.
She, of course, knew that Ye Yunfei had always been thinking of Su Qingluo.
"Alright, I thank you on Qingluo's behalf," Ye Yunfei said.
"Sister Qingluo is truly fortunate to have you always remembering her. I believe the two of you will be reunited soon," Lü Dandan looked back at Ye Yunfei, her expression somewhat complex, then spoke in an envious tone. After saying that, she headed into the distance without looking back.
"Pass down the order: from now on, everyone must cultivate diligently. I will provide sufficient cultivation resources," Ye Yunfei said to Old Man Chu, Chan Master Tianwu, Kong Lao, and Ouyang Tao.
"It's time to elevate the overall strength of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei added.
Then, Ye Yunfei took out a massive, astonishing quantity of cultivation resources from his person, divided them among the four of them, and instructed them to distribute them as needed.
In the following time, driven by Ye Yunfei's efforts, a wave of cultivation frenzy began to sweep through the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
In this world cluster, every world, every family, and every faction began to focus on cultivation. Most beings spent their time and energy on cultivation.
The relatively strong beings within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had already been gathered by Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu. They were supplied with cultivation resources uniformly according to their needs, devoting all their time to cultivation.
Ye Yunfei also supplied every Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal in the Qianfang World Cluster with sufficient cultivation resources.
Ye Yunfei traveled through the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Seeing the vast majority of beings busying themselves with cultivation brought him a sense of satisfaction.
"Young Master Ye, our Tianying Clan is preparing to set off in search of our Mother World," at this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Tianying Wang.
Ye Yunfei utilized his movement technique and arrived in Tianying Realm in moments.
All members of the Tianying Clan had gathered, standing neatly before Tianying Wang.
"Young Master Ye, you've come," Ye Yunfei landed beside Tianying Wang. Tianying Wang and the other clan elders hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you setting off right now?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Yes, we have packed all our belongings and made our preparations. It is time to depart," Tianying Wang nodded.
"These are gifts I have for your clan. There are various pills and a considerable amount of cultivation resources. You should find them useful on your journey," Ye Yunfei took out dozens of space rings and handed them to Tianying Wang.
