The strength of those nine Divine Beasts has also improved significantly."
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards the nine colossal Divine Beasts in the distance. They were still devouring pile after pile of cultivation resources, and the energy aura emanating from each one was astonishing.
"It seems these nine Divine Beasts of yours can actually evolve to possess the power of Fifth Level Sovereign Gods. That's like having nine great Sovereign Gods. Incredible!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed.
"The Nine Palace Totem Wheel you cultivate is actually a technique at the Greater Sovereign God level, and it seems it hasn't reached its limit yet. I truly never imagined you could obtain such a high-grade technique from that backward, remote Small World you came from, the Tianxuan Continent," Hun Lao stated.
"Even now, I don't know exactly what level the Nine Palace Totem Wheel technique belongs to," Ye Yunfei said.
"Well, this Nine Palace Totem technique has repeatedly refreshed our understanding of it. It's certainly not simple!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sighed with feeling.
Following this, Ye Yunfei ended his secluded cultivation and walked out of the Phantom Tower.
"Young Master Ye, you've emerged from seclusion." After Ye Yunfei left seclusion and was walking through the void of the Three Thousand Worlds, several high-ranking members of the Alliance Army soon approached him to pay their respects.
The Alliance Army from the Eighth Void and the one from the Sixth Void had long since integrated into a single entity. According to need, there was frequent movement between forces from the two voids. Therefore, many of the Alliance Army members Ye Yunfei saw in the Three Thousand Worlds were from the Sixth Void. Of course, many from the original Eighth Void Alliance Army had already gone to the Sixth Void.
In fact, the Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth Voids were now completely open to each other. Each void had at least ten or more long-distance teleportation channels connecting to the other two voids, fully interlinking them.
"How has the situation been in the Chaotic Void Sea recently?" Ye Yunfei asked slowly.
"Young Master Ye, according to the intelligence we've received, the war between the Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Voids has officially broken out. Currently, it seems the Guardian Faction may hold a slight upper hand. However, the Hunyuan Sect's strength is also formidable. It should be difficult to determine a clear victor in a short time," an ordinary Elder of the Alliance Army stepped forward and reported to Ye Yunfei.
"The Guardian Faction holds a slight upper hand?" Ye Yunfei heard this and lightly frowned. Even before he entered seclusion, the Guardian Faction had already been holding the advantage in their war with the Hunyuan Sect. It seemed that even now, they still maintained the upper hand.
"It seems I should go to those three voids to provide some support," Ye Yunfei said softly after a moment of thought.
"Indeed, we should go to assist. Staying cooped up in the Eighth Void is too boring," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately chimed in.
For him, where there was battle, there was opportunity for wealth—especially in large-scale battles where one could sweep the entire battlefield for valuables. The temptation for him was immense.
"Heh heh... Indeed. Only by participating in battle is there passion, there is gain," Huang Shang also said with a smile.
"Old Man Huang, do you still intend to expand your Ghost Army and Corpse Army?" Ye Yunfei asked with a smile.
"Of course! Although the Ghost Army and Corpse Army under my command are already quite good now, I would never say they are too many. I will continue to expand them. One day, I want to find a suitable world to establish my own Ghost Kingdom and Zombie Kingdom. Then, I'll have my own territory," Huang Shang said, laughing.
"Well then. Old Man Huang, we'll head to those three voids next and join the fight. You'll soon have plenty of opportunities to expand your Ghost Army and Corpse Army," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Master, I think I may be about to upgrade my bloodline," at that moment, Hu Miao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"Oh, really? That's excellent news!" Ye Yunfei was pleasantly surprised upon hearing Hu Miao's words.
"Here are some Divine Pills I specifically refined for you recently. Take them; they should be useful," Ye Yunfei immediately produced a large handful of Divine Pills and handed them to Hu Miao.
Ye Yunfei had obtained Tianmu Shenjun's alchemy inheritance within his cultivation cave and had been studying and contemplating it ever since. Moreover, his over a dozen clones within the Phantom Tower had been non-stop practicing alchemy. Therefore, Ye Yunfei's alchemy proficiency had been continuously improving.
Now, Ye Yunfei could already refine Divine Pills for Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods and had begun attempting to refine those for Seventh Level Sovereign Gods.
"Master, the quality and grade of the pills you are refining now have improved greatly compared to the past!" Hu Miao took the pills Ye Yunfei handed to her, sensing their properties, and exclaimed excitedly.
"That's only to be expected. He did inherit the alchemy legacy left by Tianmu Shenjun. How could an alchemy inheritance carefully preserved and passed down by Tianmu Shenjun be anything simple?" Hun Lao remarked.
"It's not just Hu Miao; everyone gets some too," Ye Yunfei said, taking out even more pills and distributing them respectively to Hun Lao, Huang Shang, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. These were pills Ye Yunfei had refined specifically tailored to their cultivation situations and would be very useful to them.
"Master, I need to go into seclusion now," Hu Miao said, immediately entering the Phantom Tower after receiving the pills to begin secluded cultivation to upgrade her bloodline.
"Looks like I shouldn't fall behind either. Let me see if I can try to upgrade my bloodline too," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, then also entered the Phantom Tower for seclusion.
"Fei'er, your father and I are both in the Vermilion Bird Realm. Not long ago, an ancestor of our Miao Clan suddenly manifested in the Ancestral Land and even mentioned something about Xiao Fei. So, the Vermilion Bird King sent someone to notify me, and I immediately came to the Vermilion Bird Realm with your father." At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a soul message from his mother.
Upon receiving his mother's message, Ye Yunfei immediately activated his movement technique and arrived at the Vermilion Bird Realm in an instant.
Ye Yunfei had already planned to find time to return to Tianpo Realm to see his parents during this trip back to the Three Thousand Worlds. Now, learning his parents were at the Vermilion Bird Realm, he rushed over without delay. Soon after, Ye Yunfei entered the Vermilion Bird Realm.
The current Miao Clan was developing with astonishing speed. Many of its members had long since ventured beyond the Three Thousand Worlds, even beyond the Eighth Void, going to the Sixth and Seventh Voids. There were even quite a few Miao Clan members who had traveled covertly to other voids for exploration and tempering.
The Miao Clan's overall strength was at least a hundred times stronger compared to the past. Some members who had returned from their travels had experienced explosive growth in strength and cultivation, leading the entire clan to develop even faster.
"Young Master Ye, you've arrived." The moment Ye Yunfei stepped into the Vermilion Bird Realm, he received a soul message from the Vermilion Bird King. Then, the Vermilion Bird King came striding through the air from a distance to greet Ye Yunfei.
"Vermilion Bird King, you are already a Heavenly God now. Not bad!" Ye Yunfei discovered that the Vermilion Bird King had actually reached the initial Heavenly God realm. Although his strength paled in comparison to Ye Yunfei's, the speed of his cultivation advancement was somewhat astonishing.
"I ventured quietly to several other voids for tempering and gained some opportunities. My cultivation and strength improved considerably. But compared to you, the difference is like heaven and earth," the Vermilion Bird King said, having just tried to sense Ye Yunfei. He found that, for a moment, he couldn't quite fathom Ye Yunfei's cultivation level and strength.
When the Vermilion Bird King was traveling outside, he had long since heard of the numerous legends Ye Yunfei had left behind in other voids. He knew that although he himself was now a Heavenly God, he was still far, far inferior to Ye Yunfei.
"Reaching the Heavenly God realm so quickly is already quite an achievement. Take these cultivation resources," Ye Yunfei said, taking out a large quantity of cultivation resources and handing them to the Vermilion Bird King.
The Vermilion Bird King was the leader of the Miao Clan, his mother's relatives. Ye Yunfei would, of course, not be stingy.
The Vermilion Bird King sensed the cultivation resources Ye Yunfei handed to him, his heart filled with shock. Not only were the resources numerous, but a significant portion of them were actually at the Sovereign God level. They were incredibly precious. Naturally, the majority among them were resources for the Heavenly God level.
"Did an ancestor of the Miao Clan truly manifest? What exactly happened?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"It's true. Several days ago, on the ancestral sacrificial altar within our clan's Ancestral Land, an ancestor suddenly manifested and communicated with our clan's mages. That ancestor also brought news about your younger sister, Xiao Fei. That's why your parents rushed over immediately," the Vermilion Bird King nodded.
