For the following time, Ye Yunfei focused wholeheartedly on refining and absorbing the medicinal energy of this pill.
Approximately half a year later inside the Phantom Tower.
"I've finally refined and absorbed all the medicinal energy from this divine pill. This pill indeed holds enormous benefits for the physical body. Both my physical strength and quality have improved significantly," Ye Yunfei said softly as he assessed his own body.
Besides this divine pill, there were many other physical body cultivation resources. Ye Yunfei proceeded to spend time refining and absorbing these resources one by one, his physical strength and quality continuously rising.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had refined and absorbed a batch of physical body cultivation resources, his physical strength and quality both taking a substantial leap forward.
In truth, reaching the current level of bodily cultivation made further progress immensely difficult. However, the grade of these physical body resources was extremely high, most of them belonging to the True God level, and their effects were profound. Hence, they allowed Ye Yunfei's physical quality and strength to increase by a significant margin.
"Next, I'll fuse more True God-level magic treasures into myself," Ye Yunfei said, taking out a batch of True God-level magic treasures from one of the spatial rings and beginning to fuse them into his body.
Unknowingly, a year passed inside the Phantom Tower.
After that year, Ye Yunfei had fused a large quantity of True God-level magic treasures, even managing to fuse over a dozen Peak True God-level treasures.
"I wonder if my current body quality allows me to fuse a True God-level Dao Weapon," Ye Yunfei muttered softly, taking out a True God-level Dao Weapon and suspending it before him.
True God-level Dao Weapons were of a higher grade than even Peak True God-level magic treasures. Ye Yunfei began attempting to fuse this True God-level Dao Weapon.
Initially, the Dao Weapon displayed intense resistance. After all, Dao Weapons were fundamentally different from ordinary magic treasures—within the same major realm, they could overpower all other treasures.
Although Ye Yunfei had already fused many True God-level treasures, he still faced fierce resistance from this Dao Weapon. However, Ye Yunfei had long anticipated this situation. He remained calm and unhurried, unleashing his Flesh-to-Artifact Secret Art to engage in a battle of attrition with the weapon.
During this process, Ye Yunfei would occasionally take out some divine pills he had refined himself and swallow them. These pills were all targeted at benefiting the physical body.
Unknowingly, three years passed inside the Phantom Tower.
On a certain day three years later, Ye Yunfei suddenly revealed an excited expression. He had successfully fused that True God-level Dao Weapon into his body.
With a resounding boom, Ye Yunfei felt his physical quality and strength instantly surge to a new level.
Although it was just a single treasure, it was a Dao Weapon. Ye Yunfei felt as if his body had ascended an entire tier in an instant.
"Truly worthy of being a Dao Weapon!" Ye Yunfei thought with pleasant surprise.
"Actually, I feel the highest-grade treasure on you should be this Phantom Tower," Hun Lao suddenly spoke up.
"Indeed. To this day, I still haven't fully discerned the true nature of this Phantom Tower. I cannot accurately judge which grade of treasure it belongs to. However, it is certain that it must be a treasure of a higher grade than True God treasures. At the very least, it should be a Heavenly God-level artifact," Ye Yunfei immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing Hun Lao's words.
"Before, my understanding of time energy and the laws of time was relatively shallow. So, I didn't fully appreciate the profundity of the significant difference in time flow between the inside and outside of this Phantom Tower. But now, as my cultivation in the time path deepens, I increasingly realize this Phantom Tower is truly an incredibly formidable time treasure. In any case, with my current level of time cultivation, I absolutely could not refine a treasure containing such advanced laws of time," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm chimed in immediately after hearing Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao's conversation, expressing his view.
"That's right. With my current time cultivation, I too would be incapable of refining a time treasure containing such profound laws of time," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Master, I also underestimated the grade of the Phantom Tower in the past. I truly never imagined this treasure's grade was so high. Which means, Master, you obtained such a high-level treasure back when your strength was still very weak. Your luck was truly incredible!" Hu Miao said.
"I was able to obtain the Phantom Tower mainly because the Shadow Clan was willing to part with it despite the pain of loss. In fact, the Phantom Tower still belongs to the Shadow Clan. I must return it in the future," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"The strength of these Nine Divine Beasts has also improved quite a bit," Ye Yunfei said at this moment, his gaze shifting to a spot not far away where the Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel were continuously devouring heap after heap of cultivation resources.
During this period, besides cultivating his physical body, Ye Yunfei had also taken out vast quantities of cultivation resources for these Nine Divine Beasts to consume.
"The current strength of these Nine Divine Beasts should be equivalent to the True God level, shouldn't it?" Ye Yunfei said softly.
"Next time there's an opportunity, I must test their combat prowess," Ye Yunfei added.
To cultivate these Nine Divine Beasts, the amount of various cultivation resources Ye Yunfei had expended had already reached an astronomical figure. Naturally, he hoped their strength would prove worth the investment.
"Young Master Ye, we've just received news. At the very least, two of our alliance's member forces have been simultaneously attacked by armies of the Guardian Faction," a voice suddenly transmitted into Ye Yunfei's mind. Ye Yunfei immediately exited the Phantom Tower, appearing within the council hall.
At this moment, many high-ranking members of the alliance were already waiting in the hall. Seeing Ye Yunfei, they all came forward.
"Why do I feel like Young Master Ye's strength has improved yet again?" Many of the alliance's leaders thought inwardly, secretly astonished upon seeing Ye Yunfei.
During this period, Ye Yunfei's physical strength had been continuously rising. Especially after fusing that Dao Weapon, his entire aura had undergone a noticeable change.
"Young Master Ye, the headquarters of the Changping Sect, the Li Family, and the Tang Family are now all completely surrounded by the armies of the Guardian Faction. The situation is critical," Elder Qi, who was specifically in charge of intelligence work, stepped forward and reported to Ye Yunfei.
"Assemble the troops immediately! Prepare to set out! Also, raise the banner of our alliance—the Restorer Faction. It's time for the Sixth Void to learn of the existence of our Restorer Faction," Ye Yunfei declared solemnly.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured. I have long since dispatched people to craft a large batch of Restorer Faction banners," an Earth Demon Clan elder said from the side.
"Young Master Ye, where shall we go first?" another Earth Demon Clan elder asked.
"First to the Changping Sect, as their headquarters is the closest from here," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
Soon, Ye Yunfei led a large army, majestic and vast, leaving the Xuanhuang Continent and heading towards the Changping Sect's headquarters.
All members of the army entered over a dozen spatial treasures, which then advanced in a single line across the void.
On each spatial treasure flew a large banner inscribed with the characters 'Restorer Faction' written in bold, flourishing strokes. The banners fluttered proudly in the wind, drumming against the celestial breezes, their presence imposing and awe-inspiring.
"Everyone, it seems Young Master Ye intends for our alliance to formally step onto the world's stage. I believe after this battle, the name of our alliance will spread throughout the entire Sixth Void!" Many of the alliance's high-ranking members exchanged sound transmissions, discussing excitedly.
Before this, Ye Yunfei had established the alliance's headquarters within the Xuanhuang Continent, keeping it strictly secret. Members were developed covertly, to the point where the outside world didn't even know of this alliance's existence. But now, with Ye Yunfei deploying this formation, he clearly intended to announce the alliance's existence to the entire Sixth Void.
The alliance's leaders were filled with both excitement and worry. Everyone understood that once their alliance officially clashed with the Guardian Faction, they would inevitably face its frenzied retaliation.
The Guardian Faction was currently one of the most powerful super factions in the Sixth Void, boasting a large number of subordinate forces as well.
The alliance leaders worried whether their fledgling alliance truly possessed the capability to oppose the Guardian Faction.
"Report, Young Master Ye! Ahead lies the Changping Sect headquarters," suddenly, an alliance leader came to report to Ye Yunfei.
"Excellent. Retrieve all flying treasures. Prepare for battle," Ye Yunfei said as he stepped out from the flying treasure.
Moments later, the entire alliance army emerged from the flying treasures, arrayed in neat order within the void.
An Earth Demon Clan elder personally shouldered a large banner, standing at the very forefront of the army. On the banner, the characters 'Restorer Faction' were inscribed with bold, sweeping strokes.
"Everyone, ahead is the army of the Guardian Faction. This battle can be considered the first formal confrontation between the Restorer Faction of the Sixth Void and the Guardian Faction. I hope everyone can fight in a manner that showcases the might and prestige of our Restorer Faction," Ye Yunfei stood at the very front of the army, hands clasped behind his back, speaking clearly and loudly. After speaking, he waved his hand, leading the way towards the Changping Sect headquarters ahead.
At this moment, the Changping Sect headquarters was densely surrounded by the Guardian Faction army.
"Listen, members of the Changping Sect! I will give you one last half-day. If you do not come out and kneel in surrender after half a day, then the Guardian Faction army will level your headquarters, leaving not a soul alive," a Middle-Rank True God stood at the forefront of the Guardian Faction army, speaking in an icy voice.
"Senior Ruan, not good! An army is charging towards us from behind!" At this moment, a Guardian Faction scout stumbled his way to this Middle-Rank True God, reporting in a panicked voice.
