"I wonder if those two have some other motive. They wouldn't be trying to take control of the alliance you've built, would they? Could they be coming to fight over power and influence with you?" Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Unlikely. Both of them are Heavenly God level masters. If they wanted to form an alliance of similar strength, it shouldn't be difficult. Why would they bother coming to compete with me for control?" Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before answering.
"True, if those two Heavenly Gods wanted power, it would be a very easy thing to obtain. They wouldn't need to come and fight with you over it," Hun Lao agreed.
"If they can truly provide our alliance with powerful backing, then cooperating with them wouldn't be a bad thing either," Ye Yunfei made his decision and stated.
"So, youngster, have you made up your mind?" one of the men asked.
"Very well. I agree to cooperate with you two Seniors," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Hahaha… Indeed, the youngster is straightforward! Excellent. From now on, we'll join forces to deal with the Guardian Faction together, striving to eliminate this evil organization a little sooner and restore clear, untroubled skies to the Chaotic Void Sea," the two middle-aged men both laughed heartily. One of them spoke.
"Youngster, your combat prowess is indeed excellent, stronger than your cultivation level would suggest. But I believe you are also aware of your own shortcomings," one of the middle-aged men remarked after sensing Ye Yunfei's aura.
"Senior, I understand. My biggest shortcoming right now is my cultivation level being too low," Ye Yunfei replied.
"It seems you have a decent understanding of your own situation. But don't be too hasty; you are still young. Building a solid foundation step-by-step in cultivation realms is also a good thing. However, you must pursue breakthroughs in your cultivation realm in the future, otherwise it will limit the heights you can eventually reach," the middle-aged man nodded.
"These treasures are gifts from us as a token of our meeting. We witnessed your earlier battle, so these gifts should be very suitable for you and helpful to your strength. Moreover, we already have some understanding of the alliance you've built. Some of these cultivation resources are intended for the alliance itself. Consider this a small contribution from the two of us to the alliance," the man waved a hand and sent two spatial rings floating in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Many thanks, Senior!" Ye Yunfei did not decline. He reached out and took the two spatial rings.
As long as it helped to enhance his strength and bolster his foundation against the Guardian Faction, Ye Yunfei would not refuse.
"Take this token. In the future, if you send a message using it, we will be able to receive it," the other man sent a token floating before Ye Yunfei.
"Youngster, with your current strength and methods, you can generally act boldly as long as you don't encounter a Heavenly God level opponent. Rest assured, from now on, whenever you discover the Guardian Faction sending Heavenly God level experts to deal with you, you can immediately send us a message. We will block them for you. Just go ahead and do what you must. We will support you from the background," one of the men said.
"Thank you, Seniors," Ye Yunfei's spirits lifted upon hearing this.
Indeed, with his current strength and methods, Ye Yunfei was not afraid of True God level opponents anymore. But Heavenly God level opponents truly were a headache.
"Youngster, your current realm is Peak Void God. Even if you break through to the True God realm, your foundation will still be somewhat lacking. I suggest you consider attempting to cultivate into a God King. If you can become a God King, you'll be more than sufficient to deal with those Heavenly Gods. Moreover, becoming a God King brings enormous benefits for your future development. Regardless of the cultivation realm, a God King can effortlessly crush those on the same level. I have some information regarding God Kings here. I will send it to you now; you can have a look," one of the men said to Ye Yunfei.
After speaking, he pointed a finger, sending a strand of Soul Power information into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei sensed the information briefly. Discovering it truly was about God Kings, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Thank you, Senior!" Ye Yunfei promptly expressed his gratitude.
"By the way, haven't you considered giving this alliance a name?" a man inquired.
"If we are to give it a name, then let's call it the Restorer Faction," Ye Yunfei contemplated for a moment before declaring.
"The Restorer Faction. Not bad, that's a good name. It suits what our alliance intends to do," the two middle-aged men glanced at each other upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words and smiled. One of them spoke with a grin.
"Alright, youngster, we have other matters to attend to. Remember, just go ahead and act boldly. We will support you anytime. Our shared goal is to eradicate the Guardian Faction," the other man declared. After speaking, both men turned and took a step, traversing through space and departing.
"The Restorer Faction. I think that name is good. In the future, let's use this name for the forces we establish in other Void Remnants, including the Eighth Void," after the two men left, one of them spoke as they strode through the void.
"There are already Restorer Factions in the Eighth Void. Let's go to the Eighth Void now and find those Restorer Factions directly to nurture them. Now that I think about it, that youngster earlier was originally a member of the Restorer Faction from the Eighth Void," the other man chuckled.
"A Heavenly God's speed is truly frightening!" Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh as he gazed in the direction the two men departed, realizing they were already at a great spatial distance.
"The speed at which they traversed space is simply astonishing. But are these two fellows reliable?" Once the two men were gone, Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm stared in their direction and couldn't help but ask.
"They should be reliable. They came to deceive us without any reason, and there's no benefit for them in doing so," Hun Lao reasoned.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei was sensing the contents of the two spatial rings gifted by the middle-aged men. The next moment, Ye Yunfei's expression brightened with pleasant surprise.
The two spatial rings contained a vast number of treasures. Without mentioning anything else, there were four to five dozen True God level divine soldiers alone.
The combined value of so many True God level divine soldiers was staggering. Besides these, there was also a massive pile of astonishing quantities of True God level magical treasures, including pills, cultivation resources, medicinal herbs, energy crystals, and various other Heaven-and-Earth Treasures.
Ye Yunfei also found that among them were a few items specifically meant for body cultivation.
Apart from these, Ye Yunfei discovered many cultivation technique jade slips.
"They were quite generous!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim with admiration.
"Hun Lao is right. There's not much for them to gain by deceiving me. It's possible they genuinely have a grudge with the Guardian Faction and thus sought me out for cooperation. Of course, their origins are mysterious. Regardless of their true intentions, we should remain vigilant," Ye Yunfei stated aloud.
"Master, the guy from the Guardian Faction has been driven away. Now we can return to Xuanhuang Continent," Hu Miao said.
"Yes, let's return now," Ye Yunfei nodded. Then, Ye Yunfei stamped his foot. A large formation teleportation circle instantly activated beneath him, erupting with powerful teleportation energy that enveloped Ye Yunfei's body and began the teleportation. Ye Yunfei's figure directly vanished from that patch of void.
Once the teleportation began, Ye Yunfei immediately used the Jade Ruyi to meticulously conceal his aura, preventing others from tracking him.
Furthermore, during this process, Ye Yunfei would stop from time to time to lay down advanced teleportation arrays and various isolation formations to cover his tracks.
Thus, Ye Yunfei returned to Xuanhuang Continent.
Before entering the world cluster containing Xuanhuang Continent, Ye Yunfei performed careful deductions and sensing, confirming that no one was tailing him.
The reason Ye Yunfei was being so cautious was because he didn't want to expose his alliance prematurely. Otherwise, a large-scale encirclement by the Guardian Faction and the Yin Corpse Hall would immediately follow.
After all, recently, both the Guardian Faction and the Yin Corpse Hall had lost many True Gods. It was estimated that the higher-ups of these two forces were currently furious.
Upon returning to Xuanhuang Continent, Ye Yunfei immediately transmitted a group of alliance leaders and members out from the Phantom Tower.
Earlier, when encountering the Heavenly God from the Guardian Faction, Ye Yunfei had already teleported all alliance members into the Phantom Tower.
Facing a Heavenly God, the others were no longer of help and would only become a burden to Ye Yunfei.
"We've finally returned to Xuanhuang Continent!" The alliance's twenty True Gods, discovering Ye Yunfei had brought them back to Xuanhuang Continent, all heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure from that Heavenly God from the Guardian Faction earlier had been immense.
"Everyone, our alliance's foundation is still somewhat lacking. So, our primary task going forward remains striving diligently to cultivate and improve our strength," Ye Yunfei gathered all the alliance's leaders and proclaimed loudly.
"However, don't be overly worried. Our alliance's foundation is stronger than any of you currently know," Ye Yunfei then declared loudly again.
Upon hearing his words, all the alliance leaders felt their spirits lift.
"The foundation Young Master Ye mentioned surely refers to the Ximen backing him. Indeed, with an ancient major faction like Ximen supporting him from behind, our alliance's foundation truly is very strong," several leaders immediately engaged in private message communication, excitedly discussing amongst themselves.
"What Young Master Ye refers to as our foundation must be the Dimén backing him," the three Earth Demon Clan ancestors communicated secretly to one another. They believed the foundation Ye Yunfei spoke of was the Earth Gate behind him, because up until now, they still thought Ye Yunfei was surely a descendant of Earth Gate.
"Nevertheless, regardless of all else, we must work hard to improve our own strength. The power one possesses oneself is the most reliable. So, going forward, our alliance's primary task remains to do everything possible to enhance our strength," Ye Yunfei spoke loudly.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured. From now on, we will definitely strive diligently to cultivate and fight to improve our own strength," one of the Earth Demon Clan ancestors shouted. Immediately afterwards, other leaders voiced their agreement, echoing Ye Yunfei's sentiments.
"I have some cultivation resources here. Please distribute them according to need," Ye Yunfei waved a hand, taking out a large batch of cultivation resources and sending them to the leaders of various factions within the alliance.
These cultivation resources were all gifts from the two men earlier.
