"We definitely need to go out; we cannot hide in the Ancient Desolate Sea forever. However, before going out, we must first enhance our strength. With sufficient power, we won't be afraid of facing the Guardian Faction."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking in a grave tone.
"I understand this principle as well, but there's a whole group of Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction blocking the way outside. With just our few hands, even if we make some improvements in a short time, we couldn't possibly be a match for so many Heavenly Gods, could we?"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately replied.
"Not necessarily.
If one is willing to take risks, it's possible to advance one's strength by a large margin even in a short period of time."
Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"Could it be you are planning...?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Hun Lao was suddenly startled; he seemed to have guessed Ye Yunfei's intention.
"That's right. I intend to refine those three crowns."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Moreover, before refining those three crowns, I will also cultivate a body-forging technique to improve the quality and strength of my physical body. This will give me greater confidence to refine the Divine King Crowns.
As long as I can refine one Divine King Crown and make it my own, then I can become a God King.
I believe a God King would have no trouble easily dealing with those Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction."
Ye Yunfei said.
"But didn't you hear what that old man Chen said?
Refining the Divine King Crowns is too dangerous. And the body-forging technique you mentioned... are you referring to that Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art?
Even the powerhouse who created that body-forging technique hasn't started cultivating it yet; how dare you try it?
What if there's something wrong with this technique? If you recklessly cultivate it, it might cause serious consequences for your body."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"There are indeed risks, but great reward lies within great danger.
Whether it's the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art or refining the Divine King Crowns, success in either would bring a huge boost to my strength.
The risk exists, but once successful, the harvest will also be enormous.
Now, the Guardian Faction is powerful. If I were to cultivate and level up step by step in the conventional manner, I wouldn't stand a chance against them in a short time.
Now that such an opportunity lies before me, why shouldn't I try it?
Furthermore, I possess Chaos God Meridians, and my foundation for body tempering is already quite solid. I'm confident in cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art.
After successfully cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art, I will have greater confidence in refining the Divine King Crowns.
The most dangerous aspect of refining a Divine King Crown is the conflict between the energy and laws contained within the crown and the energy and laws I cultivate, causing mutual repulsion and explosion.
If I possess a powerful physical body with great quality and strength, things will definitely be much smoother when refining the Divine King Crowns."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Master, doing this is very dangerous. How about we hide here for the time being?
I refuse to believe those fellows from the Guardian Faction will block the exit forever, waiting for us to come out. Someday they will grow impatient and leave."
Hu Miao said.
"Even if we could hide here, the Guardian Faction will surely cause trouble for the alliance forces. Before we came here, they had already dispatched men to surround Xuanhuang Continent.
Moreover, the Guardian Faction definitely won't spare the Eighth Void. I reckon it won't be long before they send another army to the Eighth Void. If I keep hiding here, the Eighth Void will be in great danger.
Therefore, I cannot hide here forever."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Master, aren't there still two mysterious seniors?
I think they won't just stand by and do nothing."
Hu Miao thought for a moment before adding.
"The Guardian Faction is too powerful. Even if those two mysterious seniors will take action, they might not be able to help the Eighth Void in time. What's more, we cannot pin our hopes on others."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before shaking his head again.
"Don't worry. For me, this might actually be a rare opportunity.
Alright, I've made my decision; you don't need to persuade me further."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Master, have you divined it using the Chaos Divine Fortune Mantra?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's resolute attitude, Hu Miao asked curiously.
"Yes, just now, I divined several times using the Chaos Divine Fortune Mantra."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"What was the result?"
Hu Miao immediately pressed.
"The result was half life and half death, fortune walking hand in hand with disaster."
Ye Yunfei said.
"That means it's uncertain; there's still great danger."
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Hu Miao said worriedly.
"Yes, danger certainly exists, but so does opportunity."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"I'm going into closed-door cultivation."
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and began his seclusion.
Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang knew that since Ye Yunfei had made up his mind, persuasion was useless. Having accompanied Ye Yunfei all this way, they deeply understood his character: when it came to cultivation and improvement, he would never shrink back because of risks. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have reached his current height.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged. He first read, studied, and analyzed the content of the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art several hundred times, gaining a clearer and deeper understanding of this body tempering art.
Then Ye Yunfei began inventorying the Origin Bloodline in wooden barrels within his space ring.
These barrels were made from relatively precious wood and had been sealed with exceptionally sophisticated seals, ensuring the essence of those bloodlines did not leak out.
Therefore, although these Origin Bloodlines had been stored in these barrels for a long time, their essence had not dissipated, and they were preserved relatively intact.
After making a detailed inventory, Ye Yunfei discovered there were a total of three thousand one hundred-plus barrels, each containing a different Origin Bloodline.
Some of these Origin Bloodlines were of high grade, while others were more ordinary.
"First, fuse and refine the lower-grade Origin Bloodlines, starting from the lowest and moving upwards. This will avoid encountering too strong a repulsion right from the start."
After some contemplation, Ye Yunfei whispered.
"However, before formally cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art, it would be best if I first improved my physical body's quality to increase the success rate of cultivation."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a while before speaking to himself.
Then Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of divine pills he had refined himself; these pills were specifically used to enhance physical body quality.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out a batch of Heavenly God-level treasures.
Ye Yunfei intended to refine and fuse more Heavenly God-level treasures to enhance his physical body's quality before cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei refined divine pills while also fusing treasures.
Approximately half a year later within the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei refined and fused seven Heavenly God-level treasures, greatly improving his physical body's quality and strength.
"Now begins the formal cultivation of the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon those three thousand-plus barrels as he said slowly.
Then Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art.
A wooden barrel rose into the air, suspending itself before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve, opening the barrel's lid, then undoing the seals within.
The cultivation method jade slip already recorded the method to remove the seals on these barrels.
Next, Ye Yunfei formed hand seals one after another, continuously pouring them into the barrel before him. Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei released a portion of his own Origin Bloodline, letting it fall into the barrel.
The two different bloodlines collided and immediately began to react, boiling and bubbling.
This step was called Blood Fusion: two different bloodlines collide, get acquainted, then slowly merge.
Actually, Ye Yunfei had already fused quite a few Origin Bloodlines of other races previously, relying on his Chaos God Meridians. Therefore, regarding fusing other races' bloodlines, Ye Yunfei already had some experience. This was also one of the reasons why Ye Yunfei dared to attempt cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art.
However, the first phase of cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art required fusing over three thousand different Origin Bloodlines. This scale was different from occasionally fusing one or two other races' bloodlines before.
Because the greater the number of bloodlines, the greater the repulsion produced when fused together.
Fusing over three thousand different Origin Bloodlines: if handled poorly, when mutual repulsion erupted, the explosive repulsive energy would be truly terrifying.
Therefore, although Ye Yunfei had previous experience fusing other races' Origin Bloodlines, he now cultivated step by step according to the cultivation steps and precautions of the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art, not daring to be the slightest bit impatient.
After who knows how long, Ye Yunfei finally successfully fused an ordinary Origin Bloodline, and the fusion was quite perfect.
"Not bad. Successfully took the first step."
Ye Yunfei murmured softly.
Next, Ye Yunfei continued fusing the second Origin Bloodline.
Just as Ye Yunfei was cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art within the Phantom Tower, above an island in the Ancient Desolate Sea, a spatial rift suddenly appeared. Then, a white-clothed youth walked out from the spatial rift, flashing down onto the island.
"This is Burial God Island. Unauthorized entry of any living being is prohibited."
A voice filled with authority immediately rang out, followed by an extremely terrifying wave of energy pressure instantly erupting and pressing down upon this white-clothed youth.
The white-clothed youth took several steps back, his face showing a shocked expression and turning somewhat pale.
"Burial God Island indeed lives up to its reputation. With my strength, I cannot force my way in."
The white-clothed youth felt extremely shocked.
Although he had learned about Burial God Island before coming, knowing that those buried on Burial God Island were all renowned powerhouses,
in his mind, after all, this was just a group of fallen powerhouses, and their remaining strength should be limited. With his strength, breaking into a place specifically for burying the dead shouldn't be too difficult.
But now, having just landed on Burial God Island and being forced back a great distance by the terrifying energy, he instantly realized Burial God Island was far more frightening than he had imagined.
"Respected guardian of the island, I am a descendant of the Bai Family. My purpose here is to find our Bai Family ancestor.
Before our Bai Family ancestor was buried here, he had instructed me to come at the agreed-upon time. I ask Senior to be accommodating!"
The white-clothed youth said respectfully.
"You're late. All my research findings, along with all the Origin Bloodlines I previously collected, have been taken by someone else."
Before the island guardian could speak, a voice filled with anger came from deep underground the island.
