"Young Master Ye, you can rest assured, our Liu Family will stand with you from now on in confronting the Guardian Faction."
The Liu Family Patriarch spoke, then turned and found a secluded place to cultivate with the pills Ye Yunfei had given him.
The Guardian Faction's massive army attacking the Liu Family's headquarters last time had deeply shaken him. Right now, what he desired most was to constantly improve his own strength.
After receiving the pills from Ye Yunfei, all the high-level members of the Demon Race, including their three patriarchs, similarly turned to enter seclusion for cultivation.
"Next, I can study this Xuanhuang Continent in depth."
Standing on the ground, Ye Yunfei began to use his Geomancy Technique to communicate with the earth energies and sense the situation below the surface.
Rumble…
As soon as Ye Yunfei's perception extended beneath the earth, he was met with tumultuous and seething Earth Qi Energy. Beneath this vast land seemed to be an inexhaustible abundance of high-level earth energies, wildly churning and surging. In the deepest parts of the earth, concentrated rivers of Earth Qi Energy crisscrossed everywhere.
Aside from these roaring earth energies, there were also many intangible, high-level earth element laws, and all of them were at the level of Great Dao laws.
"Apart from earth laws, this land holds many other exceptionally rare laws, all of which are derived from earth laws."
Hun Lao's voice suddenly spoke up.
"Indeed, this Xuanhuang Continent is different from any other land I've seen before—more advanced, more mysterious, more complex.
And I can also sense many high-level Earth Dragons residing deep within this continent. Next, I need to thoroughly explore this land and use its unique properties to cultivate and improve my Geomancy Technique."
Ye Yunfei nodded and replied.
After speaking, his figure flickered and vanished, having already descended beneath the ground.
Beneath the surface, Ye Yunfei could feel even more intensely how abundant the Earth Qi Energy of this land truly was.
Vast torrents of Earth Qi Energy roared past his sides incessantly.
As a geomancer, Ye Yunfei naturally had a deep affinity for such earth energies. Practicing the Geomancy Technique required channeling these energies into one's body for refinement. The more advanced the Earth Qi Energy one could obtain, the more beneficial it was for elevating one's mastery of the Geomancy Technique.
Ye Yunfei traveled through the raging torrents of Earth Qi Energy, using his Geomancy Technique to continuously draw these high-level earth energies into his body to temper his physical form. This was one of the cultivation methods within Geomancy. Only by fully integrating one's body with earth energies could one better communicate with the Earth Qi Energy of the land.
Ye Yunfei found a suitable spot, sat cross-legged, and began his cultivation.
Swiftly, Ye Yunfei's body became like a black hole, ceaselessly devouring the surrounding Earth Qi Energy.
Before long, vast amounts of high-level Earth Qi Energy came roaring toward him, pouring unendingly into his body.
It must be said that this Xuanhuang Continent was exceedingly suitable for cultivating Geomancy Technique. As a geomancer, Ye Yunfei felt completely at home in this environment, like a fish in water.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Just as Ye Yunfei was steadily refining and absorbing those rich earth energies, a surprised exclamation suddenly sounded from the deepest parts of the Xuanhuang Continent's underground.
"A geomancer has actually trespassed here... but the Geomancy Technique he cultivates is fairly ordinary, not worth mentioning."
The voice spoke again.
"Still, this fellow can serve as a resource for my cultivation. For so many years, no geomancer has come here, giving my devouring secret art no chance to be used. Now, I've finally gotten this opportunity."
The voice spoke once more, sinister as if emanating from the depths of hell.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged beneath the earth, unmoving, as if a seasoned monk entering deep meditation.
An unknown length of time passed.
"My Geomancy Technique has improved again!
Cultivating the Geomancy Technique in this environment has been tremendously beneficial for me."
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.
His gaze then turned toward the deeper parts underground. Ye Yunfei could sense that below him, a vast number of Earth Dragons were either lying dormant or roaming about.
For a geomancer, Earth Dragons were an exceptionally precious cultivation resource.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Earth Dragons born within this Xuanhuang Continent would certainly be of a high grade. Since he was here, he naturally intended to capture some.
Ye Yunfei employed his Geomancy Technique to descend deeper underground. Soon, he saw many Earth Dragons lying dormant within the soil.
Earth Dragons were formless beings, but a geomancer could see them clearly.
Golden Dragons, Five-Colored Earth Dragons, Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons…
Step by step, as Ye Yunfei ventured deeper, he saw more and more high-level Earth Dragons.
"That Earth Dragon actually has ten different colors on its body!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's gaze sharpened, landing on an Earth Dragon of immense size.
From Ye Yunfei's previous knowledge, the Earth Dragon with the most colors was the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon, possessing nine colors on its body. Now, he actually saw an Earth Dragon with ten colors, indicating that its grade surpassed even that of the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon.
Next, Ye Yunfei saw increasingly more Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons and Earth Dragons with ten colors. These dragons were all enormous in size and possessed terrifying power, crouching in place. Even their slight breaths could cause the surrounding Earth Qi Energy to roar with fury, like angry oceans of energy.
Using his Geomancy Technique, Ye Yunfei merged his aura with the surrounding high-level Earth Qi Energy and moved cautiously, careful not to disturb those Five-Colored Earth Dragons, Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons, and ten-colored Earth Dragons.
As for the lower-grade Earth Dragons, such as the Golden Dragons, even sensing Ye Yunfei's presence made them tremble uncontrollably.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, subduing those lower-level Earth Dragons would be a trivial matter. Although these Earth Dragons did not possess clear consciousness, their instincts allowed them to sense that Ye Yunfei was extremely dangerous.
"Next, I need to capture a batch of these high-level Earth Dragons."
Ye Yunfei gazed at the nearby Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons and ten-colored Earth Dragons, thinking to himself.
"I'll start by capturing a batch of Five-Colored Earth Dragons, progressing from low to high."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Yunfei began to retreat.
He had discovered that the positions of these Earth Dragons were distributed according to grade, with the higher-grade dragons residing deeper underground.
Soon, Ye Yunfei had retreated to the area occupied by Golden Dragons and Five-Colored Earth Dragons. He then began by capturing a batch of Golden Dragons.
Capturing Golden Dragons was relatively simple for Ye Yunfei—almost effortless. These Golden Dragons offered little resistance.
After capturing a large batch of Golden Dragons, Ye Yunfei moved on to the Five-Colored Earth Dragons.
He had captured Five-Colored Earth Dragons before, albeit fewer in number. Using that past experience and given his now significantly improved Geomancy Technique mastery, it didn't take much effort before Ye Yunfei had captured a batch of Five-Colored Earth Dragons.
"Five-Colored Earth Dragons are considerably higher grade than Golden Dragons. I should capture more."
Taking stock of the Five-Colored Earth Dragons he had already captured, Ye Yunfei stated.
Next, he proceeded to capture another large batch of Five-Colored Earth Dragons.
"Now, for the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons. These dragons are immensely powerful; I must proceed with extreme caution."
Using his Geomancy Technique, Ye Yunfei returned to the area of the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons. Fixing his gaze on one particular Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon, he began his operation.
First, Ye Yunfei quietly laid out several dozen large earth formations around the dragon. These earth formations were designed for trapping and attack.
Then, Ye Yunfei released a large batch of the Earth Dragons he had already captured. His figure flickered as he lunged toward that Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon.
The Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon instantly sensed danger, abruptly awakening with a terrifying roar.
As this dragon awoke, the entire underground region began to tremble violently.
Cloaked in torrents of Earth Qi Energy, Ye Yunfei directly charged to a position above the head of this Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon and began his capture using his Geomancy Technique.
Simultaneously, the earth formations Ye Yunfei had placed around erupted, unleashing vast energies to suppress and attack the dragon.
Furthermore, the swarm of Earth Dragons Ye Yunfei had just released came swarming from all directions. Countless Earth Dragons descended like overwhelming oceans, completely surrounding the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon.
It must be said that the power of a Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon was truly terrifying. Even under these varied forms of encirclement and attack, it managed to rise up and fiercely resist, letting out mighty roars. Within moments, it had shattered over a dozen earth formations and ripped apart many of the Earth Dragons lunging at it.
"This thing is truly dreadful!"
Hun Lao, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
"The Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon has developed its own consciousness. Coupled with residing within this environment of rich Earth Qi Energy, its strength is naturally formidable.
This is its birthplace; this is its domain."
Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
The stronger this Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon was, the more excited Ye Yunfei became.
