Among the treasures, Ye Yunfei found over a hundred Sovereign God-level divine pills.
According to the memories of that Remnant Soul, these Sovereign God-level pills were stored away for his own use.
That Remnant Soul had dreamt of one day recovering and becoming a complete Soul Body again, then reforming a fleshly body to relive a new lifetime.
The Sovereign God-level divine pills he had collected were resources he hoped to use after his rebirth, to become a top-tier expert in the Chaotic Void Sea once more.
But now, all these Sovereign God-level divine pills he had hoarded had fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands.
"I suspect these Sovereign God-level divine pills were a secret stash of that Remnant Soul. Even the Group Leader and other Heavenly Gods didn't know about them," Hun Lao said with a smile.
"That should be the case," Ye Yunfei nodded.
This was because Ye Yunfei had found these Sovereign God-level pills in a corner of one of the treasure vaults, guided by the Remnant Soul's memories.
Dust had already gathered thickly on them, and they were additionally protected by several highly sophisticated Formations and a large batch of specialized sealing barriers designed for isolation.
After thoroughly clearing out several of Autumn Wind Group's treasure vaults, Ye Yunfei obtained a considerable number of Sovereign God-level magical treasures, medicinal herbs, energy crystals, cultivation technique jade slips, and other heaven-and-earth treasures.
"These Sovereign God-level techniques and secret arts look quite good. I'll find some time to see if I can cultivate them later," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Of course, the quantity of treasures of relatively lower grades was even greater. After all, Autumn Wind Group was a large organization with many members. Those numerous members required cultivation resources daily, so the reserves stored in the Group's headquarters were astonishingly vast.
In short, after cleaning out those few treasuries of the Autumn Wind Group, Ye Yunfei's wealth skyrocketed.
"From now on, these cultivation resources will be distributed to the members of our Alliance Army according to their needs for cultivation.
Assure everyone they can rest easy and devote their time and energy to cultivation. As long as they do, I will provide sufficient cultivation resources."
Ye Yunfei gathered the high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army and distributed a large batch of cultivation resources.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, we will immediately convey your command. From now on, the members of our Alliance Army will certainly cultivate with even greater dedication," the Alliance Army officers one by one voiced their commitment.
"We've wiped out the Autumn Wind Group. What should we do next?" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm came over to Ye Yunfei's side and asked.
"What he means is we should rob more organizations and continue amassing wealth," Hu Miao, who understood the Silkworm's intentions, immediately pointed out.
"What's wrong with that? We can eliminate those factions colluding with the Guardian Faction while getting rich. Hitting two birds with one stone," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"After destroying Heixuan Sect, Sifang Tower, Tianhai Sect, and now Autumn Wind Group, the Guardian Faction has one last effective ally remaining," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Yin Corpse Hall!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm blurted out.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"But the main wealth of Yin Corpse Hall is probably corpses and other… yin-type treasures. Those things aren't really suitable for us!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Yin Corpse Hall is one of the Guardian Faction's greatest allies in the Sixth Void. If we can destroy it, it will definitely deal a major blow to the Guardian Faction's strength. However, Yin Corpse Hall's power is likely stronger than Autumn Wind Group's. To deal with them, we'd probably need to rely on the strength left behind by those two seniors. Or perhaps we should deal with the Guardian Faction first and handle Yin Corpse Hall later if we get the chance. Yin Corpse Hall is an extremely vile faction; to collect corpse sources, they often massacre entire worlds and clans. Leaving such an organization would be a hidden danger for sure in the future," Ye Yunfei, after consideration, said.
"Indeed, we've already destroyed so many of their Branch Strongholds before; Yin Corpse Hall must hate us bitterly. So it's best to wipe out this evil faction," Hun Lao nodded in agreement.
"But Yin Corpse Hall's headquarters is extremely well-hidden. Even now, I still don't know its location. Although I've devoured many of Yin Corpse Hall's Deities' Soul Bodies, the memories I extracted from them are all related to those Branch Strongholds," Ye Yunfei sorted through the memories of the devoured Yin Corpse Hall Deities in his mind. He found absolutely no information about their headquarters.
Because those Deities he devoured—whether Void Gods, True Gods, or even Heavenly Gods—all came from Yin Corpse Hall's Branch Strongholds. Not a single one had memories pertaining to the headquarters.
"I think there are two possibilities. First, Yin Corpse Hall simply doesn't have a central headquarters in this Sixth Void, only Branch Strongholds. Their real headquarters should be in another Void. This differs from the Guardian Faction, whose true headquarters might be elsewhere but they maintain a regional headquarters in the Sixth Void. The second possibility is that the memories of those Yin Corpse Hall Deities you devoured had restrictive seals placed on them. All memories relating to the headquarters were sealed, preventing you from reading them," Hun Lao, after hearing Ye Yunfei's words and thinking for a bit, offered his analysis.
"Listening to you, the Soul Bodies of those Yin Corpse Hall Deities probably did have restrictive seals placed on them, sealing away information about the headquarters. Otherwise, even if there is no main headquarters for them in the Sixth Void, those Deities' memories would still contain knowledge of Yin Corpse Hall's headquarters in another Void," Ye Yunfei, upon hearing Hun Lao's words, couldn't help but nod. Hun Lao, possessing the racial memories of the Chaos World Tree lineage, was truly experienced and knowledgeable.
"Since that's the case, we will start dealing with the Guardian Faction then. The final battle between us and this faction is about to arrive," Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"In the following time, our first priority will be to seize control of the vast majority of the Guardian Faction's Branch Strongholds in the Sixth Void and turn them into my own forces. This will greatly weaken the overall strength of the Guardian Faction while boosting our own," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before adding.
"Good! Each of those Guardian Faction Branch Strongholds is fat enough to be dripping with oil. Let's move out right away," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm nodded repeatedly in agreement. He knew the wealth gathered at each Guardian Faction Branch Stronghold might rival or even surpass that of an ordinary faction's headquarters.
During the following period, Ye Yunfei moved quietly through the Sixth Void, infiltrating one Guardian Faction Branch Stronghold after another, covertly subduing all the True Gods and Void Gods within, turning them into his Clones.
Before entering these Branch Strongholds, Ye Yunfei would generally send in some of his existing Clones to appease the True Gods and Void Gods inside. They would find an excuse to gather all of them together, then Ye Yunfei himself would appear to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao would quietly use various techniques and arts or set up space-time-related Formations in the space surrounding these Branch Strongholds. They would tightly seal the area to prevent the Guardian Faction members inside from sending out distress signals.
By doing this, Ye Yunfei could take control of these Branch Strongholds one by one without anyone noticing, making them forces under his command.
Previously, when Ye Yunfei acted against large factions like Heixuan Sect, Sifang Tower, Tianhai Sect, and Autumn Wind Group, he would also have Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao prepare around those headquarters, sealing the space and blocking communications.
To seal off an area of space and block transmissions was something even Ye Yunfei might not be able to guarantee, but Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao could accomplish it. Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, in particular, had made remarkable strides in his mastery over space. One could say his current spatial abilities surpassed even Ye Yunfei's.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had gained control over the vast majority of Guardian Faction Branch Strongholds in the Sixth Void.
However, there were some exceptionally secretive secret Branch Strongholds or secret bases, known only to Guardian Faction's top core members. Ye Yunfei, despite trying various methods, could not locate them and eventually had to give up.
Ye Yunfei knew, from the memories of some Guardian Faction Heavenly Gods he had devoured previously, that there were quite a few such secret Branch Strongholds and bases within the Sixth Void. But only a handful of Guardian Faction core leaders knew their specific locations. Ordinary Heavenly Gods and officers of the Guardian Faction simply had no knowledge. So Ye Yunfei ultimately abandoned the search for those hidden spots.
"Now that you've taken control of most of the Guardian Faction's Branch Strongholds, you already command a massive force in the Sixth Void. I think it's time for you to openly confront the Guardian Faction," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, it's time. Those two seniors reminded me before they left that I should act as quickly as possible, to wipe out the Guardian Faction presence in the Sixth Void as soon as possible. Now is the time for action. However, before the final battle with the Guardian Faction, I still have an old score to settle with Lingxiao Sect," Ye Yunfei shifted his gaze towards the headquarters of Lingxiao Sect.
During this period, the forces of Lingxiao Sect had been hiding within their headquarters, while the main army of the Guardian Faction had them surrounded. The stand-off between the two major powers was still ongoing.
Within Lingxiao Sect's headquarters were many legacies left behind by its ancestors throughout the generations. It was relying on these legacies for its final stand.
The Guardian Faction didn't seem to be in a hurry either. Everyone understood Lingxiao Sect was truly defeated in this conflict and likely had no chance of recovery.
Simultaneously, those major factions that had formed an alliance with Lingxiao Sect were being purged by the Guardian Faction. So the Sixth Void was in a state of considerable chaos during this period.
Not only did the Guardian Faction's main army encircle Lingxiao Sect's headquarters, they also dispatched multiple forces to deal with Lingxiao Sect's allied factions. Battles were erupting all over the Void.
It was precisely because the overall situation was so chaotic that Ye Yunfei was able to easily eliminate the headquarters of Heixuan Sect and the other major factions and control most of Guardian Faction's Branch Strongholds.
"Now let's head to Lingxiao Sect's headquarters," Ye Yunfei said softly.
"I wonder what the forces cultivated by those two seniors within the Sixth Void are like…" Ye Yunfei murmured as he gazed into the distant Void.
Then Ye Yunfei took out a command token and sent out a transmission.
A moment later, throughout the Sixth Void, beings everywhere sensed something, then each retrieved their own jade slip.
"It seems Young Master Ye is commencing the operation. Pass down the orders: Assemble our forces immediately and prepare to move out! We will follow Young Master Ye's command!"
One after another, these beings in the Sixth Void stood up, their gazes fixed on the distant Void as they spoke.
