Within the Phantom Tower of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, after spending over half a month, Ye Yunfei had finally refined and absorbed all the Soul Clones he had seized during this period, elevating his level of Soul Power energy by another tier.
"Now, I can cultivate even more Soul Force Planets."
Ye Yunfei began practicing the Soul Force Star Technique. It took him roughly three months to cultivate seven additional Soul Force Planets, bringing his total to fifteen.
Within his Soul Sea, fifteen Soul Force Planets revolved slowly around the Soul Tree and the Soul Sword.
Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies. One was fused within the Soul Tree, and the other within the Soul Sword. Of course, this fusion wasn't absolute; it was more a matter of residing within these two artifacts, both of which could protect the Soul Bodies.
These two Soul Bodies, along with the fifteen Soul Force Planets, emanated formidable Soul Power energy.
"Not only has my level of Soul Power energy significantly increased, my comprehension ability is now far superior to beings of the same realm.
Moreover, whenever I enter closed-door cultivation, I can simultaneously cultivate multiple techniques and secret arts without any conflict."
Ye Yunfei, observing his inner Soul Sea and seeing the two Soul Bodies and fifteen Soul Force Planets, was filled with confidence.
"Next, I need to properly enhance my capabilities in all aspects."
Ye Yunfei remained in the Phantom Tower for closed-door cultivation. He simultaneously cultivated Mental Energy, Soul Power, sword techniques, palm techniques, Formations, and also studied various laws.
While Ye Yunfei had now comprehended seven Major Dao Laws, the total number of laws in the world numbered at least over a thousand.
Ye Yunfei understood his cultivation in laws was, in fact, just beginning. Of course, he was confident that his attainment in laws surpassed that of the vast majority of Demigods.
While cultivating various techniques and secret arts, Ye Yunfei also released the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel and took out a large quantity of cultivation resources for them to devour and refine.
These nine divine beasts already possessed the strength to battle Demigods, but Ye Yunfei knew their power was far from reaching its apex. Even now, he hadn't discerned what grade of technique the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel belonged to, nor how powerful it would be at its highest level.
Regardless, Ye Yunfei would never abandon this technique. He had long been determined to cultivate it to its peak, no matter how many cultivation resources it took.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei cultivated for a full five years.
During these five years, Ye Yunfei's strength in all aspects continually improved. Among these achievements, his Myriad Swords to One Grand Technique had reached the level of three hundred thousand swords merging into one!
"Hun Lao, you've also finished your closed-door cultivation? You must have refined and fused with those six Innate Jianmu, right?"
Noticing Hun Lao had ended his cultivation, Ye Yunfei immediately asked.
"Yes, I've refined and fused with those six Innate Jianmu," Hun Lao replied.
"How was the effect? Must have been pretty good, I assume?" Ye Yunfei inquired further.
"The effect was excellent, of course. My overall strength has undergone a qualitative leap, and I've awakened several more racial legacies.
To put it simply, my combat power is now at least ten times greater than before. However, beings of our race aren't particularly inclined towards fighting and brawling.
Our primary cultivation focus is spatial energy, spatial laws, and various spatial secret arts.
I can confidently say my current attainment in spatial aspects far surpasses yours now."
Hun Lao answered.
"That's truly excellent. Worthy of the Innate Jianmu," Ye Yunfei praised. Seeing Hun Lao grow stronger naturally pleased him.
"Have you all finished cultivating as well?"
Ye Yunfei noticed Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang had also ended their cultivation.
After all, everyone had spent over five years within the Phantom Tower.
"Master, I've finished cultivating.
Having refined so many Soul Clones, combined with the numerous battles I experienced earlier, my accumulation was sufficient. My bloodline underwent a breakthrough, and my strength has increased significantly," Hu Miao said, slightly excited.
"My situation is similar. The next time we encounter those Demigod experts, I'll be able to handle them much more easily," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also spoke up.
"Hun Lao, how about you?
Your strength must have increased quite a bit too, right?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to Huang Shang. Huang Shang's pitch-black, glistening ghost form, standing wherever he was, resembled a profound black hole, seemingly ready to devour everything around it.
"My strength has also improved considerably. After all, Soul Clones are the best cultivation resources for me.
Especially those Perfect Demigod Soul Clones we seized earlier.
For me, they're potent nourishment indeed," Huang Shang replied with a smile.
"That's excellent. Everyone's strength has improved.
From now on, the overall combat power of our team has grown even stronger," Ye Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Yunfei concluded his closed-door cultivation and emerged from the Phantom Tower. He then summoned the high-ranking members of the Alliance Army to inquire about recent developments and news from all aspects.
"Young Master Ye, the Chaotic Void Sea has seemed very tranquil lately, with no particularly significant events occurring.
Those major factions have also ceased invading other world clusters.
I've also received news that many Perfect Demigods from these major factions will soon undergo their tribulation for ascension to the status of Deities.
The most important matter for these factions recently has been assisting the Perfect Demigods within their ranks to overcome their Lightning Tribulations and achieve godhood."
Elder Kong stepped forward to report to Ye Yunfei.
"Undergoing tribulation for godhood…
That means Deities will soon appear in our void sea," Ye Yunfei said, his expression growing somewhat solemn after hearing Elder Kong's words.
Ye Yunfei understood well that although his current strength was considerable—unafraid even of Perfect Demigods—once any major faction produced a Deity, it would be a terrifying, overwhelmingly powerful existence that he would certainly be no match for.
"Young Master Ye, our Alliance Army members still face targeting and even slaughter when traveling outside in the Chaotic Void Sea.
The ones primarily responsible are those major factions, especially superpowers like the Dark Faction, Demon Race, and others.
They attack immediately upon encountering our Alliance Army members," Elder Kong reported further.
Ye Yunfei nodded. This situation was within expectation.
The Alliance Army and those major factions were natural enemies; the animosity between them was irreconcilable. Most Alliance Army members originated from world clusters already invaded and occupied by these various major factions.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei, as the leader of the Alliance Army, had incurred similarly irresolvable enmity with those major factions in the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Our Alliance Army will seek revenge when the opportunity arises," Ye Yunfei declared.
"Distribute these cultivation resources and ensure all Alliance Army members diligently cultivate, devoting their time and energy to cultivation as much as possible."
Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of cultivation resources, handing them to Elder Kong and Xiao Ziming to manage their distribution.
"Young Master Ye, an elder from Reincarnation Palace requests an audience."
At that moment, someone came in to report.
"Please admit them," Ye Yunfei said.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye."
Soon after, an elder from Reincarnation Palace hurried into the main hall, respectfully saluting Ye Yunfei.
Due to Ye Yunfei's relationship with Su Qingluo, after the disappearance of Su Qingluo and the Reincarnation Patriarch, Reincarnation Palace had come to regard Ye Yunfei as their central pillar.
"Young Master Ye, our Reincarnation Palace has now given birth to two Demigod experts.
Furthermore, two other elders are about to undergo tribulation to break through to the Demigod realm.
Moreover, the energy and laws of our Reincarnation Realm have been continuously elevating during this period.
I estimate that our Reincarnation Realm is now the world within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds with the most advanced energy and laws."
This elder from Reincarnation Palace spoke in an excited tone.
"Truly?" Ye Yunfei, hearing the elder's words, found it a little hard to believe.
Not long ago, the strongest in Reincarnation Palace were Heavenly Immortals; now they actually had two Demigods.
"I'll go take a look immediately."
Ye Yunfei stood up, took out his Space Teleportation Token, and returned to the Reincarnation Realm with the Reincarnation Palace elder in a mere instant.
"Indeed, the energy and laws within Reincarnation Realm have become increasingly advanced."
Standing within the Reincarnation Realm's space and sensing the ambient energy and laws, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but marvel.
"It seems this world's energy and laws truly have been continuously elevating during this period."
"Young Master Ye, the continuous elevation of energy and laws within our Reincarnation Realm is primarily due to the Reincarnation Passage.
For some time now, abundant advanced Samsara energy and Samsara laws have been continuously gushing forth from the Reincarnation Passage.
Moreover, strange sounds have constantly been emanating from within the Reincarnation Passage.
The Samsara wizards of our palace have also been continuously performing divinations, attempting to ascertain what changes have occurred within the Reincarnation Passage."
The Reincarnation Palace elder explained to Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, other high-ranking members of Reincarnation Palace, sensing Ye Yunfei's aura, emerged and came before him.
"Any results from the divinations so far?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Young Master Ye, I haven't divined any useful information yet.
However, I can confirm that not only is our Reincarnation Realm upgrading, but this Reincarnation Passage is also undergoing an upgrade.
The energy and laws within the Passage have been continuously elevating, its interior space growing increasingly solid.
Furthermore, various strange noises intermittently emanate from within the Passage.
Through divination, I've discovered these strange noises almost all bear some connection to our Samsara lineage.
Somehow, I have a faint feeling that this Reincarnation Passage of our Reincarnation Realm seems to be… reviving."
Just as Ye Yunfei was asking questions, the old Samsara wizard appeared, descending from afar before Ye Yunfei and speaking.
"This Reincarnation Passage is reviving?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled upon hearing the old wizard's words.
"I indeed have that feeling, but my divination abilities likely cannot compare to yours, Young Master Ye.
Therefore, Young Master Ye, perhaps you could perform a divination," the old wizard nodded.
"I'll refrain from performing a divination for now," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Ye Yunfei recalled the terrifying palm that suddenly appeared when he performed a divination at the end of this Reincarnation Passage last time.
Ye Yunfei knew that was likely a backlash incurred from divining the Reincarnation Passage.
Even though his strength had continually increased recently, Ye Yunfei still lacked confidence in dealing with that terrifying palm that had appeared suddenly. Thus, he decided against performing a divination for the time being.
"Young Master Ye, two elders from our Reincarnation Palace are about to undergo tribulation to break through to the Demigod realm."
Right then, another Reincarnation Palace elder hurried over, immediately speaking upon seeing Ye Yunfei.
"Good, let's go take a look now."
Ye Yunfei nodded, letting the elder lead the way. They arrived before a tall mountain deep within the Reincarnation Palace headquarters.
Dark clouds swirled thickly above that mountain, and massive bolts of lightning roamed the high sky.
"That is indeed the thunder tribulation for breaking through to the Demigod realm!"
Ye Yunfei saw an elder from Reincarnation Palace standing halfway up the mountainside, radiating majestic Samsara energy.
"Young Master Ye, the tribulation location for the other elder is over there."
The guiding elder pointed towards another direction as he told Ye Yunfei.
Following that, the elder led Ye Yunfei and the other high-ranking Reincarnation Palace members to another nearby expansive plain.
Standing on this plain was another Reincarnation Palace elder.
Above this elder's head billowed tribulation clouds dense with lightning.
This elder was also attempting a breakthrough to the Demigod realm!
"Excellent!
Both elders will successfully break through."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
With his current level of perception, Ye Yunfei could naturally see at a glance that both elders were certain to succeed in their breakthrough. This meant Reincarnation Palace would soon possess four Demigod experts!
Indeed, Reincarnation Palace's overall strength had been continuously elevating recently, and the rate of improvement was somewhat astonishing.
"If Reincarnation Palace gains a few more Demigod experts, its overall strength could catch up to ordinary world clusters within the Chaotic Void Sea.
The fact that Reincarnation Palace's strength can improve so dramatically in a short time is primarily due to this Reincarnation Passage. This Reincarnation Passage is truly mysterious," Hun Lao transmitted his thoughts to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, the primary reason is indeed this Reincarnation Passage. It's definitely undergoing some mutation, and currently, it seems this mutation benefits Reincarnation Palace," Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei stood by, observing the thunder tribulations of the two Reincarnation Palace elders.
After most of a day, both elders successfully overcame their tribulations, becoming Initial Demigods.
Ye Yunfei took out a batch of cultivation resources and gave them to these two newly ascended Reincarnation Palace elders for closed-door cultivation to consolidate their realms.
Following this, Ye Yunfei left the Reincarnation Realm and traveled through the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"The energy and laws of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds have become increasingly advanced now," Ye Yunfei commented, nodding with satisfaction.
"This is mainly because you previously broke the barrier laid by the Dark Faction outside, restoring the connection between this world cluster's space and the space of the outer Chaotic Void Sea. Therefore, the energy and laws of this world cluster are naturally slowly elevating," Hun Lao said.
