“The three God King Crowns I refined earlier were left behind by ancient God Kings. They were actually quite strong too. It’s just that during the refinement process, there was inevitably some degree of damage, so the power of those three crowns diminished somewhat.
This God King Crown, however, is one I forged myself. Not only will there be no damage, its power will also grow as my realm and strength increase in the future.
In the end, the one with the greatest power will naturally be this God King Crown I crafted myself.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“You now possess four God King Crowns. I believe there are few God Kings in this world who can be compared to you. Within the Heavenly God tier, a God King is almost invincible.
The question is, with the four God King Crowns you currently possess, what would be the outcome if you encountered a Sovereign God?”
Hun Lao remarked.
“Most Heavenly Gods I meet now end up defeated in an instant. But as for what would happen if I encountered a Sovereign God... honestly, I’m not too sure myself,” Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and shook his head.
“In any case, a Sovereign God is definitely far stronger than a Heavenly God.
Forget it, let’s not dwell on it now. I’ll find out when the time comes.”
Apart from forging a God King Crown during this seclusion, Ye Yunfei also improved in various other aspects. His overall comprehensive strength had climbed to a new, higher level.
He had refined and absorbed almost half of the Soul Soup obtained from that Reincarnation Ghost, leading to a significant increase in his Soul Power energy. The quality of his Soul Body had also advanced to a higher level.
Ye Yunfei estimated that the current state of his Soul Body and the level of his Soul Power energy should now be comparable to that of a Sovereign God.
Once he unleashes his various Soul Power martial techniques, they should certainly be able to cause some disruption to a Sovereign God. This was one of his current trump cards.
During this period, Ye Yunfei also took time to cultivate his blade techniques.
Especially for One Slash Severing Yin and Yang. Ye Yunfei didn't know how many tens of thousands of times he had repeatedly visualized and practiced it.
He was confident that the One Slash Severing Yin and Yang he could now execute was undoubtedly far more powerful than before.
One Slash Severing Yin and Yang had become another major trump card for him.
Ye Yunfei believed that once he unleashed this technique, he should have the strength to fight even against a Sovereign God.
Of course, this referred to encountering lower-level Sovereign Gods. Facing those at a higher level, he didn't have as much confidence.
Ye Yunfei ended his seclusion, emerged from the Phantom Tower, and arrived at the headquarters' assembly hall.
“Young Master Ye, during this time, our Alliance Army has gained almost ten more Heavenly Gods.”
Soon after Ye Yunfei arrived in the hall, the Alliance Army's core high-level members began to gather. A venerable elder from the Earth Demon race stepped forward excitedly to report.
“That’s good,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Young Master Ye, the scouts we sent to the Seventh Void during this period have roughly ascertained the overall strength of the Guardian Faction there.
The strength of the Seventh Void’s Guardian Faction is actually similar to that of the former branch of the Sixth Void’s Guardian Faction.
The difference is, the Guardian Factions of the Seventh and Fifth Voids interact very frequently. Moreover, the Fifth Void’s Guardian Faction is bolstered by the presence of a Sovereign God.
Once the Seventh Void’s Guardian Faction comes under attack, the Fifth Void’s faction will dispatch reinforcements at the fastest possible speed.”
Kong Lao stepped forward and reported to Ye Yunfei.
“Young Master Ye, this jade slip contains detailed records regarding the scale and strength of the Seventh Void's Guardian Faction.”
Kong Lao took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power perception into it and instantly absorbed all the information recorded within.
“Issue the order: select a batch of elite personnel to form a main force. Step up their training and prepare for a campaign into the Seventh Void.”
Ye Yunfei took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
“Young Master Ye, rest assured. I will select an elite main force in the shortest time possible,” an Earth Demon race venerable elder stated.
As the three Earth Demon race elders had a passion for combat and possessed formidable strength, Ye Yunfei had placed them specifically in charge of training the Alliance Army's combat capabilities.
They were also primarily responsible for the daily management and deployment of the Alliance Army’s personnel.
“Very well. Notify me immediately once the army is organized,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei sent word to the silver-robed elder and the middle-aged Daoist nun. Then, he returned to the Three Thousand Realms.
Now that the Eighth and Sixth Voids had become one unified entity, the Alliance Armies of the two voids had merged into a single force.
Because the energy and laws of the Sixth Void were of a higher grade, many of the former Alliance Army’s high-level members from the Three Thousand Realms had relocated to the Sixth Void for residence and cultivation. Progress in cultivation there was noticeably faster.
In turn, the Sixth Void's Alliance Army dispatched many powerful experts to the Three Thousand Realms to guard the place.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei had ordered the establishment of numerous secret bases within some Small Worlds in both the Sixth and Eighth Voids.
These secret bases served as final refuges. In case the Alliance Army faced a formidable assault, its members could flee to these sanctuaries.
Ye Yunfei returned to the mountain hamlet within Tianpo Realm where Mister Liu lived in seclusion. There, he laid down several large-scale transportation formations.
During the process of setting up the formations, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao also lent their assistance.
Especially the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. After experiencing successive bloodline breakthroughs, he awakened more and more of his racial talents.
One such talent was the ability to casually tear through space, creating long-distance transportation channels. This talent could be used to assist Ye Yunfei in setting up long-distance teleportation formations.
With the help of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei established several large, long-distance teleportation formations at different locations within the mountain hamlet.
These formations could traverse a vast portion of a void, covering quite an impressive distance.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also arranged numerous Earth Formations and defensive arrays throughout the hamlet.
From the outer perimeter inward, layer upon layer of arrays stood dense and thick. Once activated simultaneously during an enemy invasion, they would form a powerful defensive network.
The inhabitants of the hamlet could use the long-distance teleportation formations to evacuate within an extremely short time.
For Ye Yunfei, the safety of his parents and Ye family members was of paramount importance. Thus, he naturally had to fortify this mountain hamlet into a heavily defended stronghold.
Beyond setting up the numerous arrays, Earth Formations, and spatial restrictions, Ye Yunfei also left behind approximately ten thousand Divine God-level puppets, as well as a large number of Divine Gods and True Gods.
These Divine Gods and True Gods were subordinates Ye Yunfei had subjugated in the past.
Only after making all these arrangements within the mountain hamlet did Ye Yunfei feel at ease to leave and return to the Alliance Army headquarters.
“Young Master Ye, please wait!”
As Ye Yunfei emerged from Tianpo Realm and was about to return to the headquarters, an elder hurried towards him.
“Grand Elder!”
Ye Yunfei turned and was startled. This elder was actually the Grand Elder of the Reincarnation Palace.
Previously, the Reincarnation Realm where the Reincarnation Palace was located had been sealed off from the outside world. Even Ye Yunfei had been unable to enter.
Up until now, Ye Yunfei had not been in contact with anyone from the Reincarnation Palace. He had not expected the Grand Elder to appear now.
With Ye Yunfei’s current ability, he could naturally tell at a glance that the Grand Elder before him was his true body.
“Grand Elder, wasn't your Reincarnation Palace sealed off, with entry and exit impossible?” Ye Yunfei asked right away.
“Young Master Ye, our Reincarnation Realm was indeed sealed off previously, inaccessible from outside and unable to leave. Later, however, the overall strength of our Reincarnation Realm increased continuously. In a short time, our overall power grew by several hundred, even thousands of times. Our Reincarnation Palace now possesses Heavenly Gods.
Not long ago, I noticed that the seal on the entrance and exit of the Reincarnation Realm suddenly loosened. So I attempted to come out, and succeeded,” the Grand Elder replied.
“What? Grand Elder, your Reincarnation Palace has already produced Heavenly Gods?”
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei was greatly shocked.
Consider his own journey: Ye Yunfei had gone through so many fortuitous encounters, through long periods of arduous cultivation and trials, just to finally reach the level of a Heavenly God. Yet this previously much weaker Reincarnation Palace now already had Heavenly Gods?
“Young Master Ye, our Reincarnation Palace indeed already has Heavenly Gods. Even we ourselves are astonished by the speed of this improvement.
Among those in the Reincarnation Palace, I am not one with the most gifted talent. Yet I am already a Peak True God,” the Grand Elder stated.
“That is indeed the case. You are a Peak True God now, Grand Elder,” Ye Yunfei sensed the Grand Elder’s realm and strength and said in amazement.
“The reason our Reincarnation Palace’s strength could increase so rapidly is mainly due to that Samsara Passage.
Over these years, that Samsara Passage continuously spewed forth vast amounts of high-grade energy and laws. This caused the energy and laws within our Reincarnation Realm to become increasingly advanced.
Those of us cultivating Samsara energy and laws saw our realms and strength correspondingly increase, breaking through new realms as simply as eating and drinking on many occasions,” the Grand Elder explained.
“No way? So incredible?
If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the Reincarnation Realm back then.”
Hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was filled with envy and immediately chimed in.
“What elevated within the Reincarnation Realm are mainly Samsara energy and laws. The members of the Reincarnation Palace primarily cultivate Samsara energy and laws, hence their rapid progress.
You don’t cultivate Samsara energy or laws. Even if you stayed in the Reincarnation Realm, it wouldn’t be of much use to you,” Hun Lao interjected.
“Young Master Ye, the reason I specifically came out to find you is that we have news regarding Palace Lord Su,” the Grand Elder declared.
“Really? That’s fantastic!
Where is Qinglu now?” Ye Yunfei’s spirits instantly lifted and he asked immediately.
“Young Master Ye, I do not know where Palace Lord Su is exactly. However, Palace Lord Su once sent a message through our Reincarnation Palace's altar.
Palace Lord Su informed us that she is doing well and is currently training and improving herself in another far-distant void. She asked us not to worry about her.
Furthermore, through the altar, Palace Lord Su sent back many advanced cultivation techniques and martial arts, greatly enhancing our Reincarnation Palace's foundation.”
“Then did Qinglu mention when she would return?” Ye Yunfei asked.
“Palace Lord Su did not specify when she would return, but she said she definitely will come back in the future.
Also, Palace Lord Su instructed me to tell you not to worry about her, and that she will come to find you in the future.
Moreover, Palace Lord Su mentioned recently that she encountered an acquaintance of yours, a man named Qin Yuanyu.”
“Grand Elder, what did you say? Qinglu encountered Qin Yuanyu?” Ye Yunfei could not help but be shocked once again.
Ye Yunfei had, not long ago, encountered Qin Yuanyu within a Samsara Passage in the Sixth Void.
At that time, inside that passage, on a certain Small Space upon the Wangxiang Platform, Ye Yunfei met an incredibly powerful expert. Then, another terrifyingly strong figure appeared within the Samsara Passage. Ye Yunfei hastily fled the passage.
He had not seen Qin Yuanyu since then. He had not imagined Qin Yuanyu would now have gone to the void where Qinglu was.
“That fellow is indeed an acquaintance of mine,” Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“Young Master Ye, Palace Lord Su was quite worried about your current safety. She instructed me to find a way to leave the Reincarnation Realm and seek you out. That is why I emerged from the realm specifically to find you. I did not expect to discover you the moment I came out.
Young Master Ye, it is truly good that you are fine. I can now return and use the altar to report to Palace Lord Su that you are safe.”
“Grand Elder, may I enter the Reincarnation Realm and use that altar to contact Qinglu directly?” Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and asked.
“Young Master Ye, I’m afraid that’s not possible. Now, our Reincarnation Realm has become a forbidden land. Only members of our Reincarnation Palace are allowed to stay within.
Should any outsider attempt to enter, the Samsara Passage immediately emits mysterious energies to attack the intruding lifeform.
Young Master Ye, if you were to enter, you would certainly be attacked. It might even be dangerous, and even I am powerless to do anything about that.”
The Grand Elder thought it over, then shook his head in reply.
“I see. Then I shall not attempt to enter.
Grand Elder, please tell Qinglu that I am doing well and not to worry about me. Once I learn of her whereabouts, I will go to find her,” Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Ye Yunfei reluctantly abandoned the idea of entering the Reincarnation Realm and spoke.
“Young Master Ye, please rest assured. Once I return, I will immediately use the altar to contact Palace Lord Su and convey your message,” the Grand Elder nodded.
“Grand Elder, please take these cultivation resources and divine pills.”
Ye Yunfei took out several spatial rings and handed them to the Grand Elder.
“Young Master Ye, these cultivation resources are too precious,” sensing the contents within the spatial rings, the Grand Elder could not help but be startled.
One spatial ring contained a large quantity of divine pills, piled up like a small mountain.
Although the Reincarnation Palace’s overall strength was now considerable, the cultivation resources Ye Yunfei gifted were still extremely valuable to them.
“It seems Young Master Ye has been flourishing quite splendidly. From the moment I first laid eyes on him until now, I still haven’t been able to perceive his true realm and strength…” the Grand Elder thought inwardly, secretly amazed.
