It seems the ancient Lunhui Palace was a widely distributed influence, establishing Reincarnation Passages not only within the Eighth Void but also within the Sixth Void," Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
Although Elder Qi had referred to the Lunhui Sect, Ye Yunfei understood that what he meant was likely the Reincarnation Palace. Back in the Eighth Void, Ye Yunfei had once heard a Reincarnation Palace elder mention that the palace was also known as the Lunhui Sect in ancient times.
"Young Master Ye, should our Restorer Faction dispatch someone to investigate that passage?" Elder Qi inquired.
"I'll go and take a look," Ye Yunfei replied after a moment's thought.
Su Qingluo had vanished within a Reincarnation Passage. Now that another had appeared, Ye Yunfei certainly intended to investigate it.
"Young Master Ye, you plan to go personally?" Elder Qi was slightly astonished.
It had to be remembered that Ye Yunfei was the supreme leader of the Restorer Faction. His safety was tantamount to the safety of the entire Restorer Faction.
"Do not worry. I will not easily expose my identity," Ye Yunfei assured him.
Ye Yunfei immediately summoned several of the core high-level members and gave them their instructions.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei quietly left the Xuanhuang Continent.
When setting off, Ye Yunfei brought over twenty Restorer Faction True Gods with him.
Prior to departure, Ye Yunfei had used a secret technique to alter his appearance and activated his Jade Ruyi to conceal his aura, transforming himself into a stranger.
Having devoured so many Sixth Void natives, Ye Yunfei could easily replicate the aura of one of their Soul Bodies to feign authenticity, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to recognize him.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei arrived before a certain World Cluster known as the Trisamsara World Cluster.
"The Trisamsara World Cluster," Ye Yunfei remarked softly, looking at this ordinarily-sized cluster of worlds before him.
"This world cluster is actually called 'Trisamsara.' The concept of 'Trisamsara' within the Samsara doctrine can seemingly be explained as past life, present life, and future life. Could this world cluster truly have some relationship with the ancient Lunhui Palace?" Hun Lao couldn't help but speculate.
At that moment, many people could clearly be seen arriving from other places, streaming continuously into the Trisamsara World Cluster. Evidently, these people all likely wanted to enter that passage for exploration.
Ye Yunfei strode inside and soon entered a vast, empty world.
This world had originally been an abandoned one. It was said that in ancient times, a terrible calamity befell this world. All living beings within the World Cluster suddenly died violent deaths, corpses littered the ground, white bones stretched for miles, and it became a lifeless place.
Not long ago, someone had accidentally stumbled into this abandoned world and discovered that passage, believed to be a relic of the ancient Lunhui Palace, which then attracted a large number of people who continuously flocked to it.
Upon entering this abandoned world, Ye Yunfei immediately sensed the presence of Reincarnation Energy and Samsara laws within it.
Having dealt frequently with members of the Lunhui Palace back in the Eighth Void—and Su Qingluo herself having been its Palace Mistress at the time—Ye Yunfei was quite familiar with Reincarnation Energy and Samsara laws.
"It seems this world must have a rather close relationship with the Lunhui Palace," Ye Yunfei thought to himself. "Perhaps this very place was once the territory of the ancient Lunhui Palace. No wonder there is a Reincarnation Passage here."
Soon, Ye Yunfei followed the flow of people to a certain location within this world. Ahead, high in the sky, existed a massive Spatial Rift, pitch black like the maw of some monstrous beast. A torrent of spacetime fragments blew forth from it, transforming into rolling hurricanes, while a rich concentration of Reincarnation Energy and Samsara laws continuously diffused from that black fissure.
"This is indeed a Reincarnation Passage," Ye Yunfei remarked to Hun Lao after sensing the pitch-black fissure suspended aloft.
Many people were currently soaring skyward towards that Spatial Rift, entering it one after another.
"Look, over there seem to be some fellows from the Yin Corpse Hall," Hun Lao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's gaze followed. Sure enough, in the distance, seven or eight figures draped in black robes were soaring upwards, charging into that spatial passage.
Although these black-clad figures concealed their auras meticulously, Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao's perception abilities were still able to detect the faint corpse energy emanating from them.
"These fellows are indeed from the Yin Corpse Hall," Huang Shang nodded. Having cultivated Corpse Path techniques, he was more sensitive to the auras of Yin Corpse Hall members.
"Look, isn't that Princess Taiping? Still as beautiful as ever," Hu Miao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei looked over and indeed saw a familiar woman: it was Princess Taiping, whom they had encountered before. She wore a robe embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings in flight.
"That fellow Sun Ruyu is the same as ever, sticking close to this Princess Taiping no matter where she goes. He's simply a hanger-on," Hu Miao commented, her eyes falling on the young man beside Princess Taiping. It was Sun Ruyu.
"I think I see another acquaintance," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly announced.
Ye Yunfei then looked in the direction indicated by the silkworm and saw a group rushing over from the distance. Among them was indeed Ba Yizhou of the Lingxiao Sect.
Actually, besides Ba Yizhou, the other seven Lingxiao Sect disciples Ye Yunfei had met in the Eighth Void were also present, including Liu Ju.
"They've all reached the True God realm!" Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled as he sensed the cultivation realms of Liu Ju and the other seven.
The last time Ye Yunfei had seen Ba Yizhou, he was still a Void God. Now, he was actually a Primary True God.
"These people are all core disciples of the Lingxiao Sect," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly. "It seems the Lingxiao Sect must have utilized some hidden reserves to allow them to break through to the True God realm within a short period."
"I sense those fellows over there are probably from the Guardian Faction," Hun Lao suddenly said. "It seems this Reincarnation Passage has attracted people from many major forces in the Sixth Void."
In the distance, over a dozen individuals surged forward, each exuding a powerful energy aura.
"That's normal," Ye Yunfei said. "The Lunhui Sect was an extremely powerful influence in ancient times. Moreover, legend says the Lunhui Sect even governed reincarnation, making it very mysterious. Now that a passage left by the Lunhui Sect has suddenly appeared, every major faction would naturally send people to explore it."
Ye Yunfei then soared into the sky, arriving before the pitch-black Spatial Rift, and directly stepped inside.
Immediately upon entering, Ye Yunfei discovered that the interior of the passage contained even richer Reincarnation Energy and more advanced Samsara laws.
It was a fairly spacious passage. Although many people had entered by this time, it didn't feel crowded at all. Walking within the passage was akin to traversing through one massive underground hall after another.
After entering, they walked for two or three hours without discovering anything noteworthy. The scenery throughout was almost identical. Apart from being exceptionally spacious, the passage contained nothing else. It exuded an ancient sense of age, clearly a passage that had been abandoned for an extremely long time.
After walking for roughly two or three hours.
"Look, ahead seems to be a city, but it appears to be abandoned. I never expected there'd be a city hidden within this passage," someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise, pointing ahead.
The passage ahead suddenly widened enormously, giving one the feeling of abruptly arriving at a plain. A city stood before them, blocking the path. It was surrounded by high walls on all sides. To proceed further, one had to enter through the city gate, pass through the city, and exit from the other side.
Since many had entered before Ye Yunfei, quite a few people were already active within the city.
Ye Yunfei arrived before the city gate and looked up. Above the gate were carved three large characters: 'Vital Rebirth City.' They appeared ancient and weathered, emanating a very rich aura of Reincarnation Energy.
Ye Yunfei entered the city, his gaze sweeping across vast, empty streets paved with grey bricks, deserted and wide.
Walking on the grey-brick streets, every step produced a clear tapping sound. Now, the entire city echoed with these taps. This city, abandoned for such a long age, had suddenly become lively again.
"This city has many buildings. I wonder if there are treasures inside them?" someone loudly remarked.
"We'll know once we go in and check, won't we?" another immediately proposed.
Many who had entered the city had long since begun darting in and out of the dilapidated structures, hoping to see if they contained any treasures left behind by ancient people.
Since the vast majority who entered this passage did so to explore and seek treasure, naturally no one was willing to miss this opportunity upon encountering this ancient city.
"There's a bottle of pills here! Pills left behind from ancient times should be of high value, right?" a voice rang out from one of the buildings, full of pleasant surprise.
Everyone's Soul Power immediately probed inside. A middle-aged man was within, having discovered a jade bottle of pills in a corner. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the bottle.
Overjoyed, the middle-aged man immediately removed the jade stopper. Sure enough, a red pill lay inside. An intense medicinal fragrance surged from the bottle, rapidly spreading, instantly permeating the entire city in moments.
At that moment, the Soul Power of everyone inside the city converged on that building.
"What grade of pill is that? Even I cannot discern it," Ye Yunfei mused, his face revealing astonishment.
Being skilled in alchemy, Ye Yunfei was naturally particularly sensitive to pills. Yet, given his current level of expertise and knowledge in pill refining, he was actually unable to identify what grade that red pill belonged to.
"Struck it rich! Fantastic, I've struck it rich! I don't know this pill's name, nor what grade it is, but this pill must be terrifyingly high-level and immensely valuable!" exclaimed that middle-aged man, a Mid-Level True God who naturally possessed some discernment. Looking at the red pill inside the jade bottle, he was utterly delighted. In his elation, he spoke without thinking.
"Oh no! 'Wealth should not be exposed!'" Only then did the Mid-Level True God realize the commotion he had just caused was far too great, having drawn the attention of many. He immediately wanted to reseal the jade bottle, but at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
*BOOM!* That red pill inside the bottle shot forth at an inconceivable speed, bursting out from the bottle with a terrifying surge of medicinal power. The force directly shoved the middle-aged man back several steps. Then, to the shock of everyone present, the pill transformed into a youth clad in red robes who darted out towards the city's exterior.
