Among them, the Heavenly Market World Cluster and the Profound Square World Cluster were already under the control of armies from the Demon Capital and the Demon Capital.
In the Heavenly Market World Cluster, the strongest demon race members were Perfect Heavenly Immortals.
Surprisingly, within the Profound Square World Cluster, the Demon Capital's forces actually had a Initial Demigod leading them.
When Ye Yunfei led his troops to the Profound Square World Cluster, that Initial Demigod of the demon race fled at the mere hint of his approach, not daring to face Ye Yunfei at all.
This was because two Demigods of the Demon Capital had already perished because of Ye Yunfei!
Ye Yunfei showed no mercy, slaughtering all members of both Demon Capital forces!
Ye Yunfei understood in his heart that no matter whether he killed these members of the two great factions now or not, the conflict between him and these powers could not possibly be resolved.
"Young Master Ye, the five world clusters surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds have all been brought under our control." Ouyang Tao came before Ye Yunfei to report.
"Garrison troops there and keep everyone alert. Report back to me immediately if anything happens," Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
Ye Yunfei knew in his heart that those major factions would certainly not give up easily.
Especially now that they had learned of his return to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, they would definitely send experts to deal with him.
Those experts from the major factions had never forgotten about that Yin Seed.
"Next, there will definitely be Demigod-level experts coming for me.
And I cannot simply run away.
So, I must seize the time to improve my strength and make some preparations to deal with the arrival of powerful enemies." Ye Yunfei stood in the vast Chaotic Void outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, murmuring to himself.
"Ye Yunfei, are you worried about retaliation from those major factions?" Chu the Old Man and Heavenly Enlightenment Zen Master stood nearby. Seeing Ye Yunfei looked troubled, they couldn't help but ask.
"Yes.
I am indeed worried about that.
Seniors, during this period, instruct the inhabitants of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds not to venture out recklessly. They must stay peacefully within this world cluster.
Even though those major factions' experts might come for me, they still hold some reservations towards this world cluster. Normally, they wouldn't openly cause large-scale destruction here or harm the ordinary beings.
Seniors, please relay the order for everyone to stay within their own worlds as much as possible during this time and not to wander outside." Ye Yunfei said to Chu the Old Man and Heavenly Enlightenment Zen Master.
Ye Yunfei knew that the outside factions were still rather apprehensive of this world cluster, and those Demigod-level experts probably wouldn't dare barge in and cause trouble on a large scale.
This gave Ye Yunfei a bit of relief.
Otherwise, if those factions sent Advanced Demigods or Perfect Demigods, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds would be in serious trouble.
"Alright, we understand.
Our Light Faction will act according to your instructions.
However, Ye Yunfei, what I'm most worried about is actually you.
Because those factions must hate you the most and want you dead above all.
You must be very careful yourself.
You are currently the Pillar of Stability for our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. If anything happens to you, our world cluster would lose its backbone and could no longer resist those external forces." Chu the Old Man replied.
"Yes, Ye Yunfei, you must be careful.
Our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds cannot do without you!" Heavenly Enlightenment Zen Master also spoke.
"Seniors, don't worry. My life is a tough one," Ye Yunfei answered with a smile.
Next, Ye Yunfei took a tour around the peripheral regions of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, keenly sensing the earth energy and earth laws of this part of the Chaotic Void.
"Good. The void surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds possesses abundant earth energy and earth laws.
Well then, it's time to set up some danger zones and forbidden lands." Ye Yunfei said to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei found a spot within the Chaotic Void near the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, sat down cross-legged, and visualized the Chaos Burial Art within his soul sea.
The Chaos Burial Art was a gift to Ye Yunfei not long ago from the deceased former emperor of the Tiande Dynasty.
This profound Geomancy Technique was left behind by an ancient Earth Master Deity.
The so-called 'Earth Master Deity' refers to a Deity-level geomancer!
During the following time, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Chaos Burial Art.
Boom…
As Ye Yunfei communed with the earth energy and earth laws within this Chaotic Void, the entire space began to tremble lightly, emitting a grand yet low hum of energy.
As time slowly passed, Ye Yunfei's comprehension of the Chaos Burial Art deepened.
In the void around Ye Yunfei, vast amounts of yellow earth energy manifested, resembling a boundless yellow ocean.
"Alright, time to set up Earth Formations." At a certain moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly stood up.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei activated his Geomancy Technique and began deploying Earth Formations, causing the surrounding void to shake violently, the space trembling like chaff being sifted.
Boom…
Half a day later, a large-scale danger zone took shape directly, erupting with earth-shattering roars.
A vast expanse of land appeared, supporting this danger zone.
"Not bad. This danger zone is much more powerful than the ones I deployed in the past," Ye Yunfei nodded, quite satisfied.
"Conceal!" Ye Yunfei suddenly stamped his foot and shouted.
Boom…
The danger zone before him trembled violently, then began to gradually fade and become invisible, finally retreating into space and disappearing.
When needed, Ye Yunfei could instantly summon it into action by activating his Geomancy Technique.
Over the next period, Ye Yunfei began deploying various danger zones and forbidden lands continuously along the perimeter of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
The Chaos Burial Art contained records of numerous powerful danger zones and forbidden lands, each quite rare.
As the number of danger zones and forbidden lands deployed by Ye Yunfei increased, the scenery of the Chaotic Void surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began to change.
Vaguely, all sorts of strange and bizarre phenomena materialized.
The scene was majestic and varied, inducing dizziness and vertigo in anyone who drew near.
Roughly a month later.
"That should be enough," Ye Yunfei stopped deploying Earth Formations.
During this time, Ye Yunfei had deployed numerous Earth Formations at some key passageways along the perimeter of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
While deploying Earth Formations, Ye Yunfei also set up many large-scale formations.
The combination of Earth Formations and formations could unleash even greater power.
"Now, let my main body commence cultivation, while my clones enter the various worlds and continents within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to deploy even more danger zones and forbidden lands.
In short, I will use Geomancy Technique to enhance the overall defensive capabilities of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei split off over a dozen clones, including all his avatars, and set these clones into action. They each entered different worlds within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to deploy Earth Formations and formations.
Now that Ye Yunfei could even deploy Earth Formations in the void, returning to solid land within various worlds would make it even easier. Sending out clones was perfectly sufficient for the task.
However, Ye Yunfei also ordered two of his clones to lay in ambush around the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, keeping an eye on all developments.
After dispatching the clones, Ye Yunfei's main body walked into a nearby danger zone.
Boom…
The moment Ye Yunfei stepped into this danger zone, the entire area erupted. A gaudy phoenix, dripping with fresh blood, soared skyward from within, exuding an eerie and dangerous aura. The surrounding void instantly turned a deep crimson.
But soon, the danger zone disappeared, and all strange phenomena vanished.
Ye Yunfei found a spot within this danger zone, entered the Phantom Tower, and began his secluded cultivation.
For this cultivation session, Ye Yunfei focused on three aspects simultaneously: the first was sword techniques, the second was Soul Force Energy, and the third was heart force energy.
Furthermore, Ye Yunfei took out a large amount of cultivation resources for the Nine Divine Beasts to devour.
For Ye Yunfei now, the most important thing was to enhance his strength, so he wouldn't hesitate to expend any amount of resources cultivating these Nine Divine Beasts.
This was equivalent to cultivating four types of techniques and martial skills at once!
If such a thing were to spread, few would dare believe it.
Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies, a Soul Force Planet, and the Nurturing Soul Tree — this was why he could achieve it!
"This time, let's strive to cultivate a second Soul Force Planet," Ye Yunfei's one Soul Body, which was cultivating Soul Force Energy, said to itself.
In the following time, Ye Yunfei was like an old monk entering deep meditation, not moving a muscle, immersed in a state of cultivation.
As time passed.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Energy and heart force energy continuously improved.
The level of the Myriad Swords Unite Major Art was also constantly rising.
To enhance his Soul Force Energy, Ye Yunfei was unstinting, continuously taking out various Soul Force Energy crystals for the Nurturing Soul Tree and his two Soul Bodies to refine and absorb.
Thus, his Soul Force Energy continued to grow.
An unknown length of time passed within the Phantom Tower.
At a certain moment.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei's soul sea trembled violently.
A massive Soul Force Planet slowly took form.
"Excellent!
I've cultivated another Soul Force Planet!" Ye Yunfei felt a surge of excitement.
Boom…
When the second Soul Force Planet took full shape within Ye Yunfei's soul sea, he felt his Soul Force Energy instantly increase by a significant margin.
Cultivating a second Soul Force Planet meant that the Soul Force Star Method had advanced another level.
"Young Master Ye, I have something to report!" Just when Ye Yunfei was immersed in cultivation within the Phantom Tower, Ouyang Tao suddenly came before one of Ye Yunfei's clones.
"What is it?" Ye Yunfei slowly opened his eyes and asked.
This particular clone of Ye Yunfei had been lying in ambush within space, maintaining a state of resting with closed eyes.
"I have a good friend.
He is the sect master of a superpower sect within the Kuyue World Cluster, effectively the ruler of that world cluster.
Not long ago, the Kuyue World Cluster was suddenly invaded by armies of the God Temple.
My friend refused to bow to the God Temple, leading the forces of the Kuyue World Cluster to resist the invaders.
However, the armies of the God Temple were too powerful. In the end, my friend fled the Kuyue World Cluster with the surviving forces, hiding and moving about within the vastness of the Chaotic Void Sea.
A few days ago, he contacted me. I told him about the situation in our Qianfang World Cluster. After learning about it, he also wishes to bring the remnants of the Kuyue World Cluster to seek refuge with you, Young Master Ye.
My friend says he would rather follow you, Young Master Ye, than become a lackey for the God Temple.
Because too many innocent beings of the Kuyue World Cluster were slaughtered by the God Temple's armies." Ouyang Tao reported.
"Such a thing has happened?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
"Young Master Ye, what do you think? Will you agree to my friend bringing the survivors of the Kuyue World Cluster to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?
My friend's strength is quite good. Like me, he used to be a Perfect Heavenly Immortal, but not long ago he broke through to become a Demigod.
Moreover, the overall strength of the Kuyue World Cluster is not weaker than, and may even be stronger than, our Qianfang World Cluster." Ouyang Tao added.
"If that's the case, then let him come," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Ye Yunfei knew that the conflict between himself and those major factions was irreconcilable.
Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to win over more strength.
"That's wonderful!
Young Master Ye, I will send word to my friend immediately, asking him to bring his people to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!" Overjoyed to see Ye Yunfei agree, Ouyang Tao immediately said so.
Approximately one day later.
Ouyang Tao brought a gray-robed elder before Ye Yunfei.
"I pay my respects to Young Master Ye. I am Gan Changfeng from the Kuyue World Cluster.
I earnestly hope Young Master Ye can provide shelter for us, the survivors of the Kuyue World Cluster." The gray-robed elder bowed respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
Although this was his first time meeting Ye Yunfei, he had long heard of Ye Yunfei's reputation.
This Gan Changfeng was at the Initial Demigod realm.
However, he showed no trace of arrogance before Ye Yunfei, and certainly didn't dare look down on him just because Ye Yunfei's realm was lower.
Because before coming, he had thoroughly investigated all kinds of news and legends about Ye Yunfei. Coupled with Ouyang Tao's accounts, he understood that the true strength of this young human before him was truly terrifying.
"Well, since you are Senior Ouyang's good friend and you both have a good understanding of each other, then it's settled. You may stay.
For any matters, you can discuss them with Senior Ouyang." Ye Yunfei returned a salute to Gan Changfeng, then nodded.
"Brother Ouyang, Young Master Ye is indeed courteous and shows respect to those beneath him, without any airs at all," Seeing Ye Yunfei's attitude, and even hearing him address Ouyang Tao as 'Senior', Gan Changfeng felt a wave of relief in his heart.
"Of course. Don't worry.
Young Master Ye doesn't put on airs; he treats us as equals.
Of course, we in the Qianfang World Cluster all recognize that we are subordinates of Young Master Ye. We won't lose our proper sense of decorum just because Young Master Ye is not formal with us." Ouyang Tao transmitted his reply.
"It seems you are injured.
These healing elixirs should be useful to you. Take them," Ye Yunfei sensed Gan Changfeng's condition, then said.
With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle flew out, landing before Gan Changfeng.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Gan Changfeng exclaimed with great joy.
