"Issue an order. Protect all our Dark Faction temples. Protect them all.
Especially the Soul Clones of our clan's Perfected Demigods housed within those temples.
At this stage, the most important matter for our Dark Faction is assisting those Perfected Demigods in our clan in their ascension to the Deity realm.
Actually, it’s not just our Dark Faction. Every major power in the Chaotic Void Sea right now is most concerned with this very thing.
Almost every faction is exhausting all its strength to help its Perfected Demigods break through.
I believe everyone understands the grave importance of this. As for that Ye Yunfei, we should not provoke him too much for the time being.
If we push him to a corner and he focuses his efforts solely on our Dark Faction, he will create a lot of trouble for us.
Later, when our Dark Faction produces a true Deity, everything will be different. Dealing with a mere Ye Yunfei will then be simple and effortless."
At this moment, the leader of the Dark Faction had completely calmed down and spoke slowly.
Hearing their leader's words, the other senior members of the Dark Faction also settled.
"Indeed, the most crucial thing for our Dark Faction at present is whether we can be the first to produce a Deity.
Although that Ye Yunfei is hateful, there is no need to deploy too many forces against him for now. Our current focus must be on concentrating our strength to protect the Soul Clones of our clan's Perfected Demigods," a Wizard of the Dark Faction added.
"Very well. Let's send some people to investigate Ye Yunfei's whereabouts but refrain from moving against him for now to avoid provoking him.
All others should go to various world groups to protect the Soul Clones of our clan's Perfected Demigods.
Once those Perfected Demigods have need of them, immediately escort their Soul Clones back to our headquarters for their use.
Everyone, bear this in mind. During this period, the Dark Faction's primary mission is to concentrate the full power of our clan to wholeheartedly assist our Perfected Demigods in ascending to the Deity realm. All other matters are temporarily secondary." With this, the clan leader's gaze swept slowly over the surrounding high-ranking members as he spoke in a solemn tone.
The senior members of the Dark Faction all nodded one after another in agreement.
At the same time, within the headquarters of the Heavenly God Hall, an angry roar erupted from a secluded training cave where a Perfected Demigod was cultivating.
This immediately attracted a group of Heavenly God Hall's senior members, who respectfully arrived at the entrance of the training cave to inquire.
"That little beast Ye Yunfei has stolen a batch of my Soul Clones.
Issue the order. From now on, increase the guard on all our Soul Clones." An infuriated voice came from within the cave.
"It's that little beast Ye Yunfei again!"
Upon hearing this, all the Heavenly God Hall's senior members gathered before the cave entrance flew into a rage.
"Do not concern yourselves with Ye Yunfei for the time being. Let him leap about a little longer.
During this period, our Heavenly God Hall must concentrate all its power and energy on assisting our Perfected Demigods in breaking through to the Deity realm."
Right at this moment, another voice spoke from within the cultivation cave.
"We understand."
The Heavenly God Hall's senior members outside the cave entrance hastily responded.
They understood perfectly that what this venerable master said was correct. For the Heavenly God Hall at this time, the main core task was to mobilize all forces to assist those Perfected Demigods in breaking through. This was a matter concerning the hall's very future and destiny.
Around the same time, a similar incident occurred within Demon City.
A Perfected Demigod of the Demon Race suddenly let out a furious roar that shook the entire city.
Consequently, a large group of high-level Demon Race members hurried to the secluded palace where this Demon Race Perfected Demigod cultivated.
"It's Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
He stole a large batch of my Soul Clones," the Demon Race Perfected Demigod raged.
However, he soon calmed down and ordered the Demon Race members not to go seeking revenge against Ye Yunfei for the time being. Instead, they were to focus their efforts on assisting their Perfected Demigods in the clan to ascend.
Although these major powers were eager to deal with Ye Yunfei immediately to vent their grievances, their most critical task at present remained harnessing all the power of their clan to aid their respective Perfected Demigods in this breakthrough.
Within the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei continued refining Soul Clone after Soul Clone. Gradually, the Faith Energy he obtained increased, along with a vast array of insights into various laws.
"The harvest from these Soul Clones is immense," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"We are about to reach the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
Just as Ye Yunfei was steadily refining the clones within the Phantom Tower, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's voice transmission came through.
Ye Yunfei exited the Phantom Tower. Sure enough, the expanse ahead was the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Upon entering, a dozen or so Demigods immediately flew out from various worlds within, coming to stand before Ye Yunfei.
These were all senior members of the Alliance Army. With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei also summoned all the Alliance Army members he had brought along earlier.
When Ye Yunfei left the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, he had taken eight Demigod experts with him. However, for quite some time, these eight Demigods had remained within the Phantom Tower in seclusion cultivation. Ye Yunfei had scarcely had them emerge to assist in any way, even during his tribulation crossing, keeping them as a final hidden trump card.
This was because Ye Yunfei knew the eight Demigod experts he carried were all only Early Demigods, their combat prowess comparatively weak. Having them appear amidst the siege of numerous powerful Demigods would likely result in their swift annihilation; they wouldn't be able to offer meaningful help and would only die in vain. Most of the Demigods besieging him at the time came from various major powers within the Chaotic Void Sea, each possessing formidable combat strength. The Alliance Army's Demigods, on the other hand, largely hailed from weaker world groups. Confronting those powerful factions' Demigods would probably lead to instant execution.
"How have things been during this period?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Nothing of particular note has occurred within our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. No enemies have come to attack," Elder Kong stepped forward to report.
"However, unfamiliar faces occasionally appear in the space surrounding our world group.
I've had people investigate. Those fellows are likely sent by major factions to keep watch on us.
It seems those factions still harbor ill intent towards our world group," Ouyang Tao also stepped forward to report.
"Do not be polite to them. Once discovered, eliminate them all," Ye Yunfei stated.
"Right. We have gained another group of members. Let's all get acquainted properly."
With another wave, Ye Yunfei summoned all the people from the various world groups that had sworn allegiance to him during this period, including the Xiao Family.
"Young Master Ye, have we arrived at the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?"
Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, the sisters, curiously surveyed their surroundings.
"Yes. We have returned. From now on, your Xiao Family will settle here temporarily. You can seek revenge against the Zhan Family when the opportunity arises," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, from this moment forward, our Xiao Family is a member of the Alliance Army.
Young Master Ye, please do not hesitate to give us any orders you might have for the Xiao Family in the future," Xiao Ziming approached Ye Yunfei and spoke.
"Senior, there's no need for such formality. We're all on the same side now," Ye Yunfei nodded.
He then introduced Xiao Ziming and the Xiao Family to Elder Kong and the other Alliance Army seniors.
"So it's the renowned Xiao Family."
Elder Kong, Ouyang Tao, and the other Alliance Army seniors were somewhat astonished. Although many world groups had joined the Alliance Army so far, most were of relatively modest overall strength—those that had suffered invasion by the major powers. The Xiao Family, however, was a relatively well-known prominent family within the Chaotic Void Sea; they hadn't expected them to join.
Upon learning Xiao Ziming's identity, the Alliance Army seniors became quite enthusiastic, stepping forward one after another to exchange pleasantries.
"Senior Xiao, you can discuss any matters with everyone from now on," Ye Yunfei told Xiao Ziming.
After giving further instructions to the other Alliance Army seniors, Ye Yunfei then headed towards the Main World of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Soon, he entered the Main World and arrived at the Reincarnation World.
"Young Master Ye, you've returned!"
The senior members of the Reincarnation Palace immediately gathered around, placing Ye Yunfei at their center.
"Young Master Ye, we were just about to go find you.
During this period, the Reincarnation Passage has suddenly undergone changes. Vast amounts of Samsara energy and Samsara laws have been continuously emerging, permeating the passage and seemingly replenishing our entire Reincarnation World with energy.
In short, recently, I've sensed the Reincarnation Passage has become much more vibrant. Comparatively, before, it seemed more dormant," an elderly man stepped forward and addressed Ye Yunfei. This elder was a Wizard of the Reincarnation Palace.
"Oh? Is that so? Let's go and have a look immediately," Ye Yunfei's heart stirred as he spoke.
Thus, Ye Yunfei promptly headed for the Reincarnation Passage with the senior members of the Reincarnation Palace and soon entered it.
"Indeed, compared to before, the Samsara energy and laws within this Reincarnation Passage are now much denser!
Before, entering here, one could also sense relatively obvious Samsara energy and laws, but they were comparatively faint—far less dense than now," Hun Lao commented.
"Yes, I can sense it too," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Somehow, I feel the Samsara energy and laws within this Reincarnation Passage have reached a level almost equal to those within the Samsara Passage in the Qiancang World Group!"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed.
"Let us proceed deeper and investigate," Ye Yunfei said to the Reincarnation Palace seniors before leading the way into the depths of the passage.
As he advanced, Ye Yunfei began using the Chaos Heaven's Secrets Art to perform divination.
"This Reincarnation Passage… it seems as if it's coming back to life," Ye Yunfei murmured in surprise after a moment of divination.
"Young Master Ye, during this period, due to the continuous surge of vast amounts of Samsara energy and laws from this part of the passage, replenishing the Reincarnation World, both the energy and the laws within our world have been constantly increasing. As a result, the cultivation progress of our Reincarnation Palace members has been notably accelerated. Recently, members are making breakthroughs almost every single day.
The overall strength of our entire Reincarnation Palace has risen a whole level!" the Reincarnation Palace Wizard reported to Ye Yunfei.
"That is indeed good news," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Recently, I have been making deductions continuously—regarding the current situation in the Chaotic Void Sea as well as this Reincarnation Passage. I have vaguely reached a conclusion from my readings: our era is probably about to change. We are on the cusp of a new age.
That new era might bring about some truly startling changes.
And for our Reincarnation Palace in this upcoming era, risks and opportunities will coexist," the Reincarnation Palace Wizard added.
"Indeed, a new era does appear to be arriving. Have everyone devote themselves to cultivation with urgency.
Here are some cultivation resources for your Reincarnation Palace to use."
Ye Yunfei said, taking out over a dozen spatial rings and handing them to the Wizard.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"
The Reincarnation Palace Wizard accepted the rings and, sensing their contents, became visibly excited, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Since the disappearances of Su Qingluo and the Reincarnation Ancestor, Ye Yunfei had become the Reincarnation Palace's greatest backer. He would periodically deliver batches of cultivation resources. Thus, the palace seniors had grown accustomed and did not decline.
"Young Master Ye, I have also been constantly divining to search for traces of our Ancestor and Palace Master Su," the Reincarnation Palace Wizard said.
"Have you managed to deduce anything?" Ye Yunfei inquired.
"My deductions indicate that the Ancestor and Palace Master Su are most likely still alive.
However, no matter how I try, I cannot discern their specific whereabouts," the Wizard answered.
"Hmm, as long as they are still alive, that's good," Ye Yunfei nodded.
The prowess of this Reincarnation Palace Wizard was not particularly high, nor were his divination skills exceptionally profound. Since cultivating the Chaos Heaven's Secrets Art, Ye Yunfei's own divination ability might have already surpassed the Wizard's.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei continued casting the Chaos Heaven's Secrets Art to perform deeper divinations.
Before long, they arrived at the far end of the Reincarnation Passage.
Ahead lay six sealed black holes.
"The Six Paths Reincarnation Caves…"
Staring at the six pitch-black holes, Ye Yunfei immediately released his Soul Power to probe them.
However, when his Soul Power sensing extended into the six caves, there was no reaction whatsoever. It was like casting mud into the sea—disappearing without a trace.
"Everyone, I intend to perform divinations here for a while," Ye Yunfei announced to the Reincarnation Palace seniors.
His urgent return to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was precisely for this purpose—to divine Su Qingluo's whereabouts.
"Young Master Ye, I too wish to make some deductions here," the Reincarnation Palace Wizard stated.
And so, Ye Yunfei and the Reincarnation Palace Wizard both sat cross-legged, facing the six pitch-black entrances, and began their divination.
