Afterwards, Ye Yunfei teleported his parents into the Phantom Tower, provided them with a vast amount of cultivation resources tailored for them, and immediately had his clones start crafting Divine Pills specifically for his parents.
He also methodically reviewed all the cultivation resources, natural treasures, magical treasures, cultivation methods, secret techniques, and so on that he possessed. He then sorted out everything suitable for his parents and handed it all over to them.
"Fei'er, the number of cultivation methods and secret techniques you've given us is simply overwhelming. How could we possibly cultivate so many?" Miao Ziqiong looked at the large pile of technique jade slips Ye Yunfei had handed her and couldn't help but voice her astonishment.
"You can slowly sift through them and select the ones you most want to cultivate and that are most suitable for you. Even those you don't practice can serve as reference for comparison. There are only benefits, no downsides," Ye Yunfei replied.
The sheer quantity of cultivation methods and secret techniques Ye Yunfei now possessed was immense. He had devoured numerous Soul Bodies, acquiring vast amounts of memories. The techniques and secrets contained within those memories naturally all belonged to him. Additionally, Ye Yunfei had obtained many cultivation methods and secret techniques when he entered Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation grotto. Any technique deemed worthy of collection by Tianmu Shenjun was, of course, of significant grade and power. Coupled with the various techniques Ye Yunfei had collected before, the total number was truly staggering.
In the time that followed, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong secluded themselves for cultivation within the Phantom Tower. Ye Yunfei personally guided their cultivation and continuously crafted Divine Pills for them. Under Ye Yunfei's meticulous guidance, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong's strength rapidly and continuously rose.
Ye Yunfei's own cultivation experience and combat experience were far too rich. Any difficulties or bottlenecks his parents encountered in their cultivation, Ye Yunfei could quickly resolve for them.
Concurrently, Ye Yunfei began using various natural treasures he had obtained in the past to enhance the quality of his parents' physical bodies. For instance, he used the Heavenly Dragon Fish he had obtained from Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation grotto to help Ye Tianpeng improve his physical constitution. The Heavenly Dragon Fish possessed traces of ancient True Dragon bloodline within its body, as well as its own profound foundational bloodline from remote antiquity, making it a being of lofty grade. Refining and absorbing the foundational blood essence of the Heavenly Dragon Fish would grant immense benefits to a living being's physique. Of course, besides the Heavenly Dragon Fish, Ye Yunfei also possessed many other natural treasures that could be used to strengthen the physical body, all of which he now unhesitatingly took out to enhance his parents' bodily qualities.
With Ye Yunfei's assistance, it wasn't long before Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong began to break through cultivation realms.
Miao Ziqiong, in particular, had Vermilion Bird bloodline within her body, coupled with considerable innate talent as well. Her cultivation progress was far swifter than Ye Tianpeng's. Moreover, time was more plentiful within the Phantom Tower compared to the outside world. Not long after, she began consecutively breaking through.
"Mother, you are already a high-level Heavenly God. You truly can be said to be making a breakthrough from deep accumulated foundations. Soon, you will catch up to my own cultivation realm," Ye Yunfei was thoroughly astonished. He understood that the only reason he had reached his current level was thanks to his ample trials, real combat experience, frequent cultivation seclusion within the Phantom Tower, and abundance of time. His mother, however, had spent most of her time within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and likely hadn't deliberately cultivated for most of that period. Yet now, she had already become a high-level Heavenly God. Such a breakthrough speed was simply astounding.
"Your mother's innate talent may well surpass your own. Or perhaps one could put it this way—your own talent likely stems from her," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed, I too feel now that mother's talent might be superior to mine. What she lacks is only life experience and practical combat. Otherwise, her current realm and strength might even exceed mine," Ye Yunfei said with pleasant surprise.
During this period, Ye Tianpeng also began to break through realms, and his strength was rising, though relatively more slowly.
After approximately ten years of secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong had both seen substantial improvement in their cultivation realms and combat strength.
"Everyone, our Miao Clan's date for returning to the Mother World has been set—exactly one month from now." Suddenly, Ye Yunfei received a Sound Transmission from the Miao Clan's old mage.
"Only one month? So soon?" Upon receiving the transmission, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat reluctant. Once his parents followed the Miao Clan and left this Void, he didn't know when they would meet again.
For the next month, the couple, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong, continued their secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower. During this month, they spent more of their time cultivating various advanced and profound cultivation methods and secret techniques. Ye Yunfei taught them Tianmu Shenjun's Pupil Technique Inheritance, as well as several Soul Power martial techniques that he himself cultivated. He even imparted the cultivation methods for Heart Force energy to his parents. These were among Ye Yunfei's most core technique inheritances.
To cultivate Tianmu Shenjun's Pupil Technique Inheritance, the most critical step was to open the Divine Pupil at the position between the eyebrows. Back in Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation grotto, Ye Yunfei, with the help of a wisp of Tianmu Shenjun's consciousness, successfully opened his Divine Pupil in a short time. For others attempting to cultivate this pupil technique, the difficulty would be much greater. Without the aid of that wisp of Tianmu Shenjun's consciousness, one could only rely on personal exploration and attempts to open the Divine Pupil. Ye Yunfei taught this pupil technique to his parents, simply asking them to find time to try and see if they could open the Divine Pupil. As for whether they would ultimately succeed, that could not be forced.
One month in the outside world meant a much longer period had passed within the Phantom Tower.
One day a month later, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong emerged from the Phantom Tower and said to Ye Yunfei, "Fei'er, we've just received a transmission. The one-month mark has arrived. The Miao Clan is preparing to depart and return to the Mother World." Both parents looked at their son, filled with an unwillingness to part.
"Father, Mother, don't worry. I'll take care of myself. You can go with peace of mind," Ye Yunfei suppressed the reluctance in his heart and spoke.
"Fei'er, from now on, you must be careful in everything you do. Above all, you must stay alive and live well. That is the most important thing," Miao Ziqiong reached out and gently stroked Ye Yunfei's face as she earnestly instructed. Ye Tianpeng, standing beside her, also spoke up repeatedly with his own admonitions.
After offering their son a series of cautions and advice, the two finally began to pack their belongings.
Most of the day later, all members of the Miao Clan had gathered, lined up neatly in front of the Vermilion Bird King. A large group of the Miao Clan's upper echelons clustered around the Vermilion Bird King, each one visibly excited because they had long yearned for their Mother World. Indeed, some of the ancient texts left behind by the Miao Clan contained simple descriptions of the Mother World. From those brief descriptions, one could see that the Miao Clan's Mother World was a place with a highly developed cultivation civilization—prosperous and flourishing.
"Don't worry. I will take good care of your parents," seeing the reluctance in Ye Yunfei's heart, the Vermilion Bird King addressed him.
The Vermilion Bird King and those Miao Clan upper echelons had all experienced some improvements in their cultivation realms and combat strength during this period. Several among the upper echelons had even consecutively broken through three or four levels, with their actual combat power seeing a significant increase as well. Ye Yunfei had also gifted the Vermilion Bird King and those Miao Clan upper echelons many magical treasures suitable for them, further enhancing their overall combat capabilities.
"The time for our departure has come." The old mage soared into the air, swept his gaze over the crowd, and announced.
By this point, all members of the Miao Clan had converged within the Ancestral Land, densely packed around that ancient altar.
As he spoke, the old mage tossed out over a dozen tall formation flags, which landed upon the altar.
RUMBLE…
The altar, emanating an ancient aura, suddenly erupted with divine radiance that surged to the heavens. Faintly visible within it was the illusory form of a Vermilion Bird soaring across the Nine Heavens, its might extraordinary. A powerful energy aura, centered on the altar, rippled out in all directions, causing everyone present to secretly marvel.
Next, above the altar, at a certain point in space, a spatial crack slowly appeared, eventually transforming into a teleportation channel. All Miao Clan members gazed at that channel with excited eyes. Everyone understood this was the passage leading to the Mother World.
"Alright, you may proceed." A voice, as if originating from a distant spacetime beyond, emanated from within that channel, echoing throughout the sky above the altar.
"We thank our Ancestral Forefather for showing the way!" Hearing that voice, the old mage immediately spoke with reverence.
"We thank our Ancestral Forefather for showing the way!" The Vermilion Bird King also promptly led all Miao Clan members in echoing the gratitude respectfully.
"Let us commence our departure." The old mage took the lead, walking towards that spatial teleportation channel.
