"Yes.
I've seen their silhouettes."
Ye Yunfei nodded in confirmation.
"What?
Young Master Ye, you saw their silhouettes?
But the Patriarch and Palace Lord have been missing for so long. Even if they entered one of the Samsara Caves, how could you still see their silhouettes?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, all the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Palace felt even more shocked.
"What I saw were images of them that had been imprinted within the Samsara Passage from the past. The situation is a bit complicated.
Anyway, I can now confirm that they definitely entered one of the Samsara Caves."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Ye's strength far surpasses ours. Since he is so certain that the Patriarch and Palace Lord entered one of the Samsara Caves, it must be true."
At that moment, the Reincarnation Palace Wizard also arrived and spoke up.
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Reincarnation Palace Wizard and noticed his aura had improved significantly.
Previously, this Wizard had suffered severe injuries from backlash while attempting to divine insights about the Samsara Caves. Ye Yunfei had later given him a large batch of healing pills.
He had been recuperating all this time and his injuries had mostly recovered.
"Young Master Ye, according to the legends of our Reincarnation Palace, those six Samsara Caves are passageways for the dead to be reincarnated and reborn.
Are you implying that the Patriarch and Palace Lord have already fallen?"
Suddenly, the Grand Elder of the Reincarnation Palace asked.
Hearing the Grand Elder's words, the other upper echelons of the Reincarnation Palace all paled, their gazes turning towards Ye Yunfei.
Since Lunhui Laozu and Su Qingluo disappeared, these leaders of the Reincarnation Palace had never given up searching.
In their hearts, Lunhui Laozu and Su Qingluo were still alive.
"No, they haven't fallen.
From the silhouettes they left in the Samsara Cave, I could sense they were in a living state, not spirits of the dead."
Ye Yunfei declared.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Reincarnation Palace leaders all breathed a sigh of relief, though confusion still etched their faces.
"Young Master Ye, if the Patriarch and Palace Lord are still alive, how could they have entered a Samsara Cave?
Samsara Caves are passageways for spirits of the dead."
The Grand Elder asked.
"From what I currently understand, living beings can also enter Samsara Caves. However, I estimate only those who cultivate Samsara Energy and Samsara Laws can do so.
Furthermore, it must be extremely dangerous for a living being to enter a Samsara Cave. They could meet disaster at any moment."
Ye Yunfei explained.
"So that's it.
Living beings who cultivate Samsara Energy and Samsara Laws can actually enter Samsara Caves."
The Reincarnation Palace leaders exclaimed in amazement.
"Young Master Ye, according to legends, both the Samsara Passage and the Samsara Caves were managed by our Reincarnation Palace in ancient times.
The Samsara Passage and Caves represent the Samsara order of the world. We, the people of the Reincarnation Palace, are its managers and maintainers. It's possible we have the ability to enter Samsara Caves."
The Reincarnation Palace Wizard spoke.
As the palace's Wizard, he had some understanding of the various ancient legends and history of the Reincarnation Palace.
"Young Master Ye, you saw the silhouettes of the Patriarch and Palace Lord inside one Samsara Cave. Did you also see where they ultimately went?
How should we go about finding them now?"
The Grand Elder asked again.
"I saw their silhouettes, but I didn't see where they went.
Because what I saw were merely past imprints they left there.
I originally wanted to venture deeper into that Samsara Cave, but I had to withdraw quickly for certain reasons.
Later, I couldn't enter again. So, I don't know how to find them."
Ye Yunfei shook his head and sighed.
"By the way, do you have any legends about the Samsara Caves?
Especially legends about where they ultimately lead."
Ye Yunfei asked.
"According to ancient records left behind by our Reincarnation Palace, after spirits of the dead enter a Samsara Cave and reach its end, they are reincarnated into various different worlds.
Therefore, where a Samsara Cave ultimately leads differs for each spirit.
An even more mysterious belief is that, based on the virtue accumulated in their previous life, the Samsara Cave automatically sends different spirits to different worlds for reincarnation."
The Reincarnation Palace Wizard thought for a moment before replying.
"So, there's simply no way to know where Qing Luo and the Patriarch ended up after passing through that Samsara Cave."
After hearing the Wizard, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
"That indeed seems to be the case, based on our ancient records.
Once different spirits enter those six Samsara Caves, which world they ultimately reach is unpredictable and determined solely by the virtue accumulated in their previous life."
The Reincarnation Palace Wizard nodded, then sighed.
"Finding Qing Luo and the Patriarch will be even more difficult then."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.
"However, no matter what, I will find them."
After a moment of silence, Ye Yunfei spoke again.
He had hurried back to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds this time, hoping to divine something useful before the six Samsara Caves at the end of the Samsara Passage. Indeed, he had discovered clues confirming that Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu had once entered a Samsara Cave. Yet, he still didn't know where to find them.
"Regardless, we now have one more clue: they entered a Samsara Cave and most likely went to another world through it.
Although this clue is vague, as your strength continues to increase in the future, you might discover new leads."
Hun Lao communicated telepathically to Ye Yunfei.
"Hun Lao, you make sense. For me now, the most important thing is still to increase my strength.
I believe that once my strength and realm are sufficient, I will definitely find Qing Luo."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
*Rumble…*
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed someone within the Reincarnation Realm was undergoing a Lightning Tribulation – and it was a Heavenly Immortal undergoing tribulation.
"Grand Elder, does your Reincarnation Palace have Heavenly Immortals now?"
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"Yes, Young Master Ye. Our Reincarnation Palace now has several Heavenly Immortals. We even have a High-Level Heavenly Immortal.
Recently, vast amounts of Samsara Energy and Samsara Laws have continuously surged from the Samsara Passage, upgrading the world's energy and laws. Our members' cultivation speed keeps getting faster.
In a short time, almost all members have broken through several realms. Especially our older generation members—their breakthrough speed is astonishingly faster than the younger generation.
One elder, from the same generation as the Patriarch, had always been in closed-door cultivation, never involved in worldly affairs. Even when our Reincarnation Palace was besieged by other major forces of the Main World, nearing life and death crisis, this elder remained in seclusion. We had almost forgotten his existence.
But not long ago, this elder suddenly emerged from seclusion. He broke through realms at an astounding rate, becoming a Heavenly Immortal in a short time.
The one undergoing the tribulation now is that elder. He's likely trying to break through to the Perfected Heavenly Immortal realm this time."
The Grand Elder answered.
"No way?
That exaggerated?"
Ye Yunfei found the Grand Elder's words hard to believe.
While the Reincarnation Palace was a major power in the Main World, its strongest members were previously only Earth Immortals, not even Golden Immortals.
Now, they had not just one but several Heavenly Immortals, even someone attempting to become a Perfected Heavenly Immortal. Such breakthrough speed was truly astonishing.
"Nothing strange about it. Don't forget, the Reincarnation Palace is a force with extremely ancient inheritance. In ancient times, it was a superpower that managed the world's Samsara order.
Although this Reincarnation Palace in the Main World has somewhat declined, its heritage remains.
Moreover, during this transition between old and new eras, this ancient major force might display unexpected potential.
The most obvious example is the Fire Clan. When you first rescued them from their ancestral lands, their overall strength was very weak. Yet, in a short time, the Fire Clan produced a large group of Demigod experts and has now developed into a major force within the Chaotic Void Sea.
I suspect the Reincarnation Palace's situation might be similar to the Fire Clan's."
Hun Lao telepathically told Ye Yunfei.
"That is indeed possible."
Ye Yunfei nodded after hearing Hun Lao.
"The Reincarnation Palace, an ancient force that once managed the world's Samsara order, having some hidden potential is perfectly normal.
Let's go take a look."
Ye Yunfei said.
He then soared into the air, leading the Reincarnation Palace upper echelons towards the rumbling thunder in the distance.
Moments later, they arrived above an open plain. High in the sky above this plain, dark clouds gathered thickly, with thick bolts of lightning weaving in and out of the clouds.
An elderly man stood there in mid-air, looking up at the rolling thunder above, preparing to undergo the tribulation.
"Esteemed Elders, you've come."
The elderly man glanced at the Reincarnation Palace leaders and spoke.
Then his gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei.
"Could this perhaps be Young Master Ye?"
The elderly man looked Ye Yunfei up and down, then asked.
"Indeed, Elder Yu. This is Young Master Ye, whom I often mentioned to you."
The Grand Elder stepped forward and said.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye."
Elder Yu hastily saluted Ye Yunfei.
Just moments ago, he had used his Soul Power to sense Ye Yunfei but couldn't perceive his true strength or realm at all. Greatly startled, he knew Ye Yunfei's strength and realm must be far above his own.
Thus, his attitude towards Ye Yunfei instantly became respectful.
Moreover, he had previously heard about Ye Yunfei's relationship with the Reincarnation Palace and knew that for them, Ye Yunfei was now their greatest backer.
"Elder Yu, no need for such courtesy. Focus on undergoing your tribulation!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
*Rumble…*
At that moment, the Lightning Tribulation above Elder Yu finally began to descend. One thick lightning bolt after another struck down from the sky, carrying formidable lightning energy.
With a long cry, Elder Yu soared skyward, beginning his tribulation.
"This tribulation, Elder Yu will succeed in his breakthrough without much suspense."
After watching for just a moment, Ye Yunfei knew Elder Yu would definitely succeed.
"This Elder Yu has been breaking through realms repeatedly in a short time. Logically, his foundation should be quite unstable. Yet, from what I see now, his foundation seems relatively solid. This is strange."
Hun Lao telepathically said to Ye Yunfei.
Sure enough, after enduring the tribulation, Elder Yu successfully broke through and became a Perfected Heavenly Immortal.
"After becoming a Perfected Heavenly Immortal, the next step is Demigod.
It seems the first force in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to produce a Demigod expert might be the Reincarnation Palace."
Hun Lao communicated telepathically again.
"That's possible. This Elder Yu's foundation is very solid. Given his current state, if he continues cultivating, he might break through to Demigod."
Ye Yunfei sensed the immortal energy within Elder Yu's body, then nodded.
"Elder Yu, congratulations on your successful breakthrough!
With your current state, if you continue cultivating diligently, you will definitely have the potential to become a Demigod expert in the future."
Ye Yunfei arrived before Elder Yu and said.
"Young Master Ye flatters me.
I've only just broken through to Perfected Heavenly Immortal. I intend to cultivate to the Perfected Paragon Heavenly Immortal realm.
Thus, my next step won't be undergoing tribulation, but avoiding tribulation to consolidate.
I won't be in a hurry to attempt a breakthrough to the Demigod realm for now.
This is something Young Master Ye likely understands.
Because I sensed that you, Young Master Ye, have already cultivated to the Perfected Paragon Heavenly Immortal realm as a Heavenly Immortal."
Elder Yu said.
"Elder Yu, you are correct, I indeed cultivated to the Perfected Paragon Heavenly Immortal realm.
Since Elder Yu aspires to this, with effort, you'll likely succeed."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Take these cultivation resources, Elder Yu.
The resources within should be sufficient for you to cultivate all the way to the Perfected Paragon Heavenly Immortal realm."
Ye Yunfei took out a spatial ring and sent it floating before Elder Yu as he spoke.
"Young Master Ye, these cultivation resources are too precious. I have done nothing to deserve such a gift."
Elder Yu extended his Soul Power into the spatial ring and found it filled with an immense amount of precious cultivation resources. He couldn't help but gasp, an expression of shock on his face, before quickly declining.
"Elder Yu, please accept them, no need for courtesy.
These things mean little to me."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Elder Yu, if Young Master Ye asks you to accept, then accept.
In fact, Young Master Ye has been the one providing cultivation resources to our Reincarnation Palace all along."
The Grand Elder stepped forward and said.
"Since that's the case, I will accept."
Elder Yu nodded and took the cultivation resources.
"Young Master Ye, I have just broken through and need to enter seclusion, rest, and consolidate my realm for a while."
After receiving the spatial ring, Elder Yu said to Ye Yunfei.
