"Since that's the case, let's find a place to rest for a while. I still need to continue my closed-door cultivation for some time.
You should also take this opportunity to properly cultivate and improve yourselves," Ye Yunfei spoke.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm brought the Phantom Tower to a seemingly ordinary world cluster nearby, entering one of its inconspicuous worlds and finding a place to hide.
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower, took out Formation Flags, and arranged a large number of Formations, creating a small space of Formations.
Ye Yunfei's skill in Formations had improved over this period, so the Formations he arranged now were of a higher rank and more effective.
Then Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower again and resumed his closed-door cultivation.
The few of them, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, Huang Lao, Hun Lao, and the others, also began to enter a state of seclusion for cultivation.
Ye Yunfei distributed a portion of the cultivation resources Elder Lu had previously gifted to Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and the others.
'I wonder how Elder Pan and Elder Ge are doing now?
What was the outcome of that battle?
After my seclusion ends, I need to go back and search for them both, to see if they are safe,' Ye Yunfei thought to himself, thinking of Elder Pan and Elder Ge.
Although Ye Yunfei knew both Elder Pan and Elder Ge were very strong, the experts from the Guardian Faction were no weaklings either. Not only that, but they had come in one large group, dominating with sheer numbers and power.
"We actually lost the trail!"
At this moment, in a certain place within Third Void, a group of experts from the Guardian Faction stood there, each of their faces filled with fury.
For so many Sovereign Gods to be tracking a young brat and still lose him—if this news spread, they would absolutely become a laughingstock from now on.
You have to understand, among this group of experts, there were Intermediate Level Sovereign Gods, Advanced Level Sovereign Gods, Perfected Sovereign Gods, and even a relatively famous Divination master.
Logically speaking, with so many powerful beings gathered together, tracking a junior was supposed to be a straightforward task. Yet after all their efforts for a good while, they still ended up losing the person.
The white-robed Perfected Sovereign God stood there continuously performing his Divination Art, wanting to recapture the auras of Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, but try as he might, there were no discoveries.
The other Sovereign Gods also released their Soul Power energies, constantly expanding their sensory range.
A few other Sovereign Gods even used some special secret tracking techniques, but none bore fruit.
In the end, this group of Guardian Faction experts had to admit they had completely lost their targets.
"That surnamed Ye brat previously wiped out the three outposts of our Guardian Faction in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids. Headquarters already intends to send people to deal with him. Who would have thought he would come to Third Void.
Since he dares to come to our Third Void, we'll make sure he comes but never returns.
Give the order: from now on, search the entire Void for that brat's whereabouts. As long as he is still within Third Void, we must find and eliminate him, removing this latent threat," a Perfected Sovereign God declared loudly.
Then, these Guardian Faction experts all turned and departed.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was still secluded in the Phantom Tower, continuing his cultivation.
As time passed, all aspects of Ye Yunfei's strength continued to rise.
Ye Yunfei knew that for him now, the most important thing was to quickly improve his strength. As long as his own strength could rise rapidly and continuously, then he would have the confidence to face all matters.
Elder Lu had gifted him so many precious cultivation resources; they could precisely be used to raise his overall strength by another notch.
Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Lao, Hun Lao, and the others were also all cultivating in seclusion within the Phantom Tower.
On the outside, Ye Yunfei had already arranged many high-level concealment and isolation Formations.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm created many spatial restrictions, and Hun Lao also performed his clan's secret technique to set up a grand spatial formation. Under such layered defenses, even if Sovereign Gods passed by, it would be difficult for them to perceive the existence of the Phantom Tower.
"My bloodline has finally broken through and leveled up!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei heard the excited voice of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. His Soul Power energy immediately swept over, discovering the Dragon Silkworm's entire body surging with energy auras, the qi and blood energy within him transforming into a blooming golden radiance. It had indeed achieved a breakthrough and level-up in bloodline.
"The divine pills you refined for me are far too effective. They allowed my bloodline to ascend a rank in such a short time," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm excitedly said to Ye Yunfei.
"It seems Hu Miao's bloodline will soon breakthrough and level up as well," Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards Hu Miao's secluded cultivation spot, noticing the bloodline within her was already beginning to seethe—a precursor to a breakthrough.
"If those guys came to track me again, I'm sure I could successfully block their perception of me.
Because of this bloodline breakthrough, I've awakened an exceptionally powerful spatial secret art," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm declared confidently.
"You ancient remnant beasts, as long as you have sufficient cultivation resources and enough time, can continuously break through and level up your bloodlines, your strength rising incessantly, almost without any bottleneck in cultivation. Other races don't know how much they envy you," Hun Lao said with a laugh.
Right at this moment, a surge of powerful energy suddenly erupted.
"Hu Miao's bloodline has also broken through and leveled up!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze instantly looked towards Hu Miao's direction.
Sure enough, at this moment, Hu Miao's entire body was suffused with intense energy auras. Extremely concentrated Illusion Dao energy transformed into a hazy mist. Within the billowing mist, nine thick fox tails swayed, flickering between reality and illusion, appearing quite divine and extraordinary.
"My closed-door cultivation has ended. It's time to go back and check on the situation with Elder Pan and Elder Ge," Ye Yunfei stood up and said softly.
Then, Ye Yunfei walked out of the Phantom Tower, dispersed the Formation small space surrounding them, and quietly began returning the way he came.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei was extremely cautious, on guard in case the experts of the Guardian Faction were still lying in ambush on the route, or had left behind some clever tracking methods.
"Don't worry, Master. This time with the bloodline breakthrough, I've also awakened an extremely advanced illusion technique. I'll use this illusion technique to help conceal your form and aura now; it should be quite effective," Hu Miao spoke.
Then Hu Miao immediately performed the high-level illusion technique she had just awakened.
Characters formed from Illusion Dao energy and Illusion Dao Laws continuously appeared, then covered Ye Yunfei's body surface.
Very quickly, Ye Yunfei found his own appearance and aura undergoing a drastic transformation. Coupled with his own applied stealth arts, he had completely turned into an unfamiliar being.
"Not bad. Hu Miao, this illusion technique you're using, I'd wager even Sovereign Gods would find it hard to identify," Hun Lao assessed Ye Yunfei's current form and aura and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Of course! We, the Primal Sky Foxes, are also ancient remnant beasts, with noble bloodlines!" Hu Miao said, quite proud.
Blessed with the illusion technique employed by Hu Miao, Ye Yunfei's movement became even more unrestrained. He traveled at his fastest speed continuously, and before long, he had returned to the place where Elder Pan and Elder Ge had been.
"The battle has ended; they have already left."
Returning to the location of the previous battle, there was no one there now. However, the terrifying combat energy left behind by those powerful beings during the battle still permeated this stretch of Void.
Furthermore, this area of Void had been severely damaged by the previous fight, dense, fissured space cracks were everywhere, and vast, rolling shards of time and space swept through like hurricanes.
Ye Yunfei immediately released his Soul Power energy, carefully sensing this space. At the same time, Ye Yunfei also utilized the Chaos Heaven Secrets Art to begin divining the various events that had occurred in this space not long ago.
With the continuous improvement in his strength and realm, especially the level of his Soul Power energy, the divination effects of the Chaos Heaven Secrets Art he currently performed had markedly improved.
However, what surprised Ye Yunfei was that after performing the Chaos Heaven Secrets Art for a short while, he had divined nothing. He could only see some blurry figures moving rapidly within this expanse of Void.
The surface of each figure was enveloped in powerful Laws, forming a protective layer that made it utterly impossible to clearly see their true appearance or their movements.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy enveloped this space, carefully sensing it, but he had no discoveries whatsoever.
"The strength of Elder Ge and Elder Pan is too high. With my current strength and methods, it seems I cannot divine or perceive them," after a moment, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes. Generally, the stronger a being is, the harder they are to divine. The energy and Laws they cultivate are too formidable and will automatically isolate all divination and perception attempts.
If weaker beings attempt forceful divination, they might even suffer a backlash," Hun Lao nodded.
"I hope they are alright," Ye Yunfei said softly.
"It seems Elder Pan and Elder Ge are still targeting the Guardian Faction, which is why they provoked the pursuit from the Guardian Faction," Hun Lao said.
"Those two, Elder Pan and Elder Ge, in the Sixth Void, had already developed so many followers specifically to deal with the Guardian Faction. Coming to Third Void now was likely for the same purpose.
I wonder what their true identities are. What grievances do they have with the Guardian Faction?" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asked, puzzled.
"There are two possibilities. First, that Elder Pan and Elder Ge have a private grudge with the Guardian Faction—it is personal.
The second possibility is that Elder Pan and Elder Ge are standing up to oppose the Guardian Faction for the sake of the entire Chaotic Void Sea—it is for the greater good," Hun Lao speculated.
"Regardless of the reason, having powerful individuals like Elder Pan and Elder Ge stand up and take the lead in dealing with the Guardian Faction is a good thing.
Moreover, they both hold kindness towards me; I will certainly support them with all my strength," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Ye, thank you for your support."
Right after Ye Yunfei finished speaking, laughter sounded not too far away, and then a figure appeared.
"Elder Pan!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted over and he called out in pleasant surprise.
