Next, Ye Yunfei remained within this Small World for more than half a month.
During this period, Ye Yunfei meticulously compiled his cultivation insights. He also refined a large batch of elixirs for his parents and clansmen, with varieties ranging across every rank.
These elixirs were specifically tailored by Ye Yunfei based on the circumstances of his parents and clansmen. They were highly effective. Over this half month, numerous members of the Ye Family continuously broke through and advanced, their progress astonishing.
"Xiao Fei, are you saying you want to leave this void and travel to other voids outside? I've heard the overall strength out there is much greater. It might be very dangerous for you to go to those external timespaces." When Ye Yunfei's parents heard he intended to leave the Eighth Void and venture to other voids outside, they were visibly worried. Miao Ziqiong couldn't help but voice her concern.
"Mother, don't worry. I'll be careful. I can't stay in this void forever. Sooner or later, I must go out and see the world," Ye Yunfei said.
One month later, Ye Yunfei emerged from the Small World and arranged a great many formations and geomancy formations around the small mountain hamlet.
Among them were numerous teleportation formations, so that in case of any danger, people both inside the Small World and within the small mountain hamlet could immediately evacuate using these teleportation arrays.
Ye Yunfei left behind several dozen Deity-level puppets, lying in wait both inside and outside the Small World. Among them were two Deities at the Advanced Void God level.
Next, Ye Yunfei also set up a large number of formations outside the world's entrance/exit where this small hamlet was located, meticulously concealing the entrance/exit of this world.
After that, Ye Yunfei departed from Tianpo Realm and arrived outside the Reincarnation Realm in the main world.
"What's going on?"
Standing outside the entrance/exit of the Reincarnation Realm, Ye Yunfei discovered that it had been sealed off by a mysterious energy.
He tried to walk in, but was immediately pushed back.
"This is an extremely sophisticated sealing method—a sealing formation crafted using Samsara energy and Samsara Laws," Ye Yunfei remarked slowly after sensing it for a while.
"A sealing formation even I cannot break... who exactly laid this here?"
Ye Yunfei attempted to break the seal on the Reincarnation Realm's entrance/exit, but after many attempts with no effect whatsoever, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Ye Yunfei waited outside the Reincarnation Realm's entrance/exit for a long time, but not a single person emerged. Ye Yunfei took out a communication jade slip and tried to get in touch with the people of the Reincarnation Palace, but received no response.
"Why is it like this? Could something have happened to the Reincarnation Palace?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat worried.
Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and even Jinjiao Longcan all tried to probe into the Reincarnation Realm with their senses, but the seal at the entrance/exit was too robust. Soul Power energy simply could not penetrate to perceive inside.
"If even you cannot break the seal, it definitely wasn't something laid by someone from the Reincarnation Palace. There must be something happening within the Reincarnation Palace," Hun Lao's tone was somewhat grave.
At that moment, a figure slowly materialized.
"Grand Elder!"
Ye Yunfei immediately recognized this figure as a Soul Power imprint left here by the Reincarnation Palace's Grand Elder.
"Young Master Ye, you've come." The Grand Elder seemed to have long anticipated that Ye Yunfei would certainly come. He saluted Ye Yunfei respectfully.
"Grand Elder, what exactly is going on? Has something happened to the Reincarnation Palace?" Ye Yunfei hurriedly asked.
"Young Master Ye, there indeed is an incident within our Reincarnation Palace. Previously, the energy and laws within our palace began to grow increasingly advanced. The cultivation speed of our members accelerated as well, giving birth to over a dozen Deities in a short period.
Moreover, a grand willpower transmitted from within the Reincarnation Passage, summoning each member of our Reincarnation Palace, calling us to enter the Reincarnation Passage to guard it. Because, according to that willpower, the Reincarnation Passage will awaken soon, and guarding the Reincarnation Passage is our Reincarnation Palace's most sacred duty since ancient times—something explicitly recorded in the ancient texts passed down through our Reincarnation Palace's history.
Many members of our Reincarnation Palace, having repeatedly heeded the call of that grand willpower, ultimately entered the Reincarnation Passage.
Additionally, the entrance/exit of our Reincarnation Realm has been sealed by a powerful, mysterious energy. No one can leave or enter.
Young Master Ye, I knew you would certainly come looking for us here, so before the Reincarnation Realm's entrance/exit was fully sealed, I left a Soul Power imprint outside. Once you, Young Master Ye, came wanting to enter the Reincarnation Realm, it would trigger my Soul Power imprint and explain the situation to you," the Grand Elder explained to Ye Yunfei.
"Such a thing actually happened..." Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Ye Yunfei was a bit taken aback.
"Have your Reincarnation Palace members suffered any harm?" Ye Yunfei pondered and then asked.
"No. Not only have our members not suffered harm, each person's strength has been continuously rising. They're growing increasingly powerful. I myself have become a Deity," the Grand Elder replied.
"Young Master Ye, the old wizard of our palace conducted several divinations regarding these changes. Every time, the results indicated that some ancient ancestors of our Reincarnation Palace were beginning to return. The grand willpower summoning us from within the Reincarnation Passage belongs to one of these ancient ancestors.
Since it is an ancestor summoning us, our Reincarnation Palace's people should not come to any harm," the Grand Elder said.
"So that's how it is," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Then, is there any news of Qingluo and the Patriarch?" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before asking again.
"According to the old wizard's repeated divinations, Palace Master Su and the Patriarch should be fine, both alive, although they are no longer within this void of ours," the Grand Elder replied.
"Young Master Ye, thank you for your concern. However, our Reincarnation Palace should be fine. If it truly is ancestors summoning us, then I believe this could very well be an opportunity for our Reincarnation Palace to develop and grow," the Grand Elder said.
"Very well, if that's the case, then I will not force entry. If the Reincarnation Palace ever faces danger, find a way to send me word. Once I learn of it, I will certainly come to assist," Ye Yunfei said.
Then Ye Yunfei turned to leave, and the Grand Elder's Soul Power imprint slowly faded away.
After leaving the main world, Ye Yunfei visited several other places closely connected to him, such as the Fire Clan's lands, the Restorationist Faction's headquarters, the Flower Spirit Palace, Xiaoliangguan, the Vermilion Bird Realm, and others.
"Young Master Ye, you truly plan to leave this Eighth Void? The Guardian Faction could make a comeback at any moment. If you are not present within this void then, I'm afraid no one will be able to lead this void in resisting the Guardian Faction." Within the Restorationist Faction's headquarters, upon learning that Ye Yunfei intended to leave for voids outside, the Great Leader showed evident concern.
"Senior, rest assured. I will leave behind several avatars within this void. If the Guardian Faction returns, these avatars of mine will immediately find a way to contact my main body. I will rush back at once to join everyone in resisting the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei said.
"Furthermore, wanting to deal with the Guardian Faction while staying confined within this Eighth Void is useless. I must go see the other voids outside. The Guardian Faction's true headquarters is within those external voids. I must go ascertain the Guardian Faction's real strength, to ensure we know ourselves and the enemy," Ye Yunfei added.
"Indeed, that's the case. Our Eighth Void's Guardian Faction is merely a branch. Their true headquarters lies in voids outside. Remaining limited to the Eighth Void would be extremely passive," the Great Leader nodded in agreement with Ye Yunfei's view.
"Senior, from now on, please dispatch people to strictly monitor the entire Eighth Void. As soon as you detect people from other voids entering our Eighth Void, immediately investigate their identities and origins. If they are members of the Guardian Faction, promptly notify the entire void and try to contact my main body," Ye Yunfei instructed.
"Understood. I will give this matter proper attention," the Great Leader nodded.
"However, the most crucial task is to urge everyone to focus on cultivation, continuously improving their strength. Strength is the true foundation for confronting any change or crisis.
These are some elixirs I refined recently. They should help nurture more Deities within the Restorationist Faction," Ye Yunfei said, retrieving a batch of elixirs and cultivation resources he had refined and handing them to the Great Leader.
"Then I shall not stand on ceremony," the Great Leader said as he received the elixirs and cultivation resources.
"Actually, our Restorationist Faction has birthed quite a number of Deities recently. Our quantity of Deities is no longer small, but the biggest weakness is that most are Primary Void Gods, with only a minority being Intermediate Void Gods. As for Advanced Void Gods... there is only me, so far," the Great Leader sighed.
"There's no helping that. We can only take it slowly. Our void underwent a long Deity-less Era. Only a short while ago did we re-enter the Deity Era. We cannot rush things," Ye Yunfei said.
"Indeed, that's true," the Great Leader nodded.
After discussing matters with the Great Leader, Ye Yunfei departed from the Restorationist Faction headquarters.
