"Furthermore, we have already dispatched people to the First, Second, and Third Void to gather intelligence. In those three voids, our Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction are still currently in a state of war.
Between the two of us in those three voids, the overall strength of both our Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction is very powerful. It could be said that the true contest between our Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction should be playing out precisely in the First, Second, and Third Void.
Elder Dongfang spoke again.
"Do both the Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction have Chaos Deities in those three voids?"
Ye Yunfei, hearing this, asked.
"Yes, the Chaos Deities of both our major factions are primarily concentrated in those three voids. Especially the First Void — both our factions have many Chaos Deities participating in the war there.
This is because the First Void is currently the most powerful in terms of overall strength among the eight void fragments of the Chaotic Void Sea."
Elder Dongfang nodded as he said this.
"However, our Sect Headquarters has already dispatched an envoy to our Fourth Void. The order is for the forces of our Hunyuan Sect branch in the Fourth Void to remain stationed here for the time being and not to rush to those three voids as reinforcements. When needed, Headquarters will send someone to issue commands.
Furthermore, according to Headquarters' intentions, starting now, you, Young Master Ye, may freely commandeer all forces of the Hunyuan Sect in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Void.
That is to say, Young Master Ye, you are now the supreme commander of our Hunyuan Sect armies across these five voids."
Elder Dongfang continued.
"Young Master Ye, what should we do next?"
Elder Dongfang's gaze turned to Ye Yunfei as he asked.
The other high-ranking members of the Hunyuan Sect in the great hall also looked toward Ye Yunfei.
"Then we will first follow Headquarters' instructions. Everyone should temporarily remain stationed in this Fourth Void to prevent the Guardian Faction's armies from returning. Future plans will be made according to the situation."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
"The most important task for everyone from now on is cultivation and improvement—to enhance your own realm and strength as much as possible.
That is to say, starting now, cultivation and improvement is the top priority."
Ye Yunfei then added.
"Young Master Ye, please rest assured. I will immediately relay your orders. Starting now, all forces of our Hunyuan Sect in this void will place cultivation at the very core.
Moreover, I will issue orders to open the treasure vaults of our Sect Headquarters and all branch strongholds, allowing all members to draw upon them according to their needs."
Elder Dongfang immediately stated his position upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Senior, please gather all the Sovereign Gods in the Headquarters."
Ye Yunfei thought for another moment and spoke again.
"Very well. I will summon all the Sovereign Gods in the Headquarters right now."
Elder Dongfang nodded. He didn't even ask for the reason, because he knew that with Ye Yunfei's strength and temperament, if he wanted to do this, there must be a profound intention behind it.
Not long after, all the Deities in the Hunyuan Sect Headquarters gathered and came to the assembly hall. The hall contained extremely profound spatial laws, capable of accommodating countless beings, so the gathering of all the Headquarters' Sovereign Gods did not appear crowded.
Ye Yunfei immediately released his Soul Power energy to conduct a detailed sensing of every single Sovereign God of the Hunyuan Sect. From time to time, he also asked about the attributes of the cultivation techniques and secret arts they practiced, as well as the most pressing issues they currently faced in their cultivation.
Then, Ye Yunfei began having over a dozen of his clones within the Phantom Tower start refining pills for these high-ranking members of the Hunyuan Sect.
As his strength in various aspects continued to rise, and because Ye Yunfei had always kept some of his Soul Force stars cultivating and comprehending the Heavenly Eye Divine Lord's alchemy legacy, his pill-refining skill had been constantly improving.
Soon after, the pills refined by Ye Yunfei's dozen or so clones began to be continuously sent out and delivered into the hands of these Hunyuan Sect elders.
"These Divine Pills are extremely useful to me! Although I haven't started consuming and refining them yet, judging solely by their aura, they will certainly allow my strength to improve!"
Some elders, upon receiving the pills, were immediately overcome with excitement.
"These pills also have a tremendous effect on me. I'm going into seclusion right now to see if I can attempt a breakthrough from the realm that has stalled me for so long!"
One Sixth-Level Sovereign God, upon receiving the pills Ye Yunfei gave him, was so excited he didn't even offer words of thanks before turning and rushing out to begin secluded cultivation in an attempt to break through.
"How does Young Master Ye have so many pills?
And these pills seem to have an especially great effect on our Hunyuan Sect's Sovereign Gods!"
Elder Dongfang watched as Ye Yunfei continuously produced large quantities of Divine Pills to gift to the Hunyuan Sect elders. His heart was somewhat moved, yet also a little puzzled.
More and more Hunyuan Sect elders, upon receiving the Divine Pills gifted by Ye Yunfei, immediately chose to enter seclusion for cultivation.
The pill-refining speed of Ye Yunfei's dozen-plus clones was extremely fast. Before long, all the Sovereign Gods in the Hunyuan Sect Headquarters had received the pills Ye Yunfei gifted them. The assembly hall then began to grow quiet and empty, leaving only Ye Yunfei, Elder Dongfang, and two other core elders.
"Seniors, these Divine Pills are for you."
Not long after, Ye Yunfei took out some more Divine Pills and gifted them to these three remaining elders respectively.
"Even I get some!"
Elder Dongfang was pleasantly surprised. He did not refuse and accepted the Divine Pills Ye Yunfei handed him.
"These Divine Pills... they seem to have been refined specifically for me!"
Elder Dongfang sensed the aura of the pills and exclaimed joyfully.
"Young Master Ye, I must also go into seclusion to cultivate and see how much effect these Divine Pills have on me."
Elder Dongfang, greatly interested, spoke immediately. He then turned and left the assembly hall.
"Young Master Ye, we must also enter seclusion."
The two other core elders also spoke to Ye Yunfei.
These two core elders then also left the assembly hall to begin secluded cultivation.
For a period afterwards, Ye Yunfei continuously refined pills for those Hunyuan Sect elders.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also summoned the more talented Void Gods, True Gods, and Heavenly Gods of the Hunyuan Sect, and specifically refined a batch of high-quality pills for them as well.
In short, during this period, Ye Yunfei had been constantly refining pills. Of course, while refining pills, Ye Yunfei also cultivated and comprehended various other techniques and secret arts, including Formations.
After a while, the Hunyuan Sect Headquarters suddenly welcomed a large number of tribulations. One Deity after another, including Void Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and Sovereign Gods, began undergoing tribulations en masse.
Starting from a certain moment, looking across the Hunyuan Sect Headquarters, one could see Deities undergoing tribulations almost everywhere. The rumbling sound of thunder echoed throughout the entire Headquarters.
"Our Hunyuan Sect actually has this many Deities breaking through! This is truly an unprecedented event!"
Some felt immensely shocked and couldn't help but shout out loud.
Vast and mighty tribulations continued unabated, and each Sovereign God undergoing a tribulation ultimately succeeded in breaking through their realm.
"Hahaha...
My realm has been stuck for a very long time. I never imagined I would finally succeed in breaking through today. Starting now, I am a Greater Sovereign God!"
One Fourth Level Sovereign God, after successfully breaking through, stood high in the air laughing heartily.
"I have finally become a Sovereign God! This has been my dream for many years!"
One Heavenly God who broke through to become a Sovereign God stood in the air, tears streaming down his face.
Because breaking through from Heavenly God to Sovereign God signified an elevation in life level. From now on, they would stride toward a different realm of existence.
One Deity after another who had broken through was extremely excited; some shouted at the top of their lungs.
"My strength seems to have improved considerably as well. The Divine Pills Young Master Ye gifted me are indeed very useful!"
At a certain location within the Headquarters, on a tall mountain, the door to a cave dwelling opened, and Elder Dongfang walked out from within, speaking excitedly. He then released his Soul Power, sensing the entire situation of the Headquarters.
"The Divine Pills gifted by Young Master Ye have actually brought such a great change to our Hunyuan Sect. Almost all the Deities have seen their strength improve, and over half have broken through realms.
Young Master Ye's methods are truly too monstrous, inspiring awe and admiration!"
After sensing the various situations within the Headquarters, Elder Dongfang couldn't help but exclaim.
"For some reason, I feel the pills gifted by Young Master Ye seem to have been refined specifically for the various Deities of our Hunyuan Sect?"
At this moment, the Mage arrived beside Elder Dongfang and spoke.
"Mage, your Divine Power energy also seems to have improved somewhat."
Elder Dongfang sensed the Mage's aura and said with pleasant surprise.
"Indeed. I also received some Divine Pills gifted by Young Master Ye. After refining and absorbing them, my Divine Power energy increased by quite a lot.
I suspect those Divine Pills were refined by Young Master Ye specifically for our individual cultivation situations."
The Mage spoke.
"What?
Mage, are you saying those Divine Pills were refined by Young Master Ye himself?
Doesn't that mean Young Master Ye is a highly skilled alchemist?
Young Master Ye is so young. How could he possibly possess such a profound level of alchemical skill?"
Elder Dongfang, hearing the Mage's words, found it hard to believe.
"If it were any other young person, I wouldn't believe it either. But Young Master Ye is different. We must not treat Young Master Ye as an ordinary young person.
Young Master Ye's strength and abilities are likely far superior to us old fellows."
The Mage spoke.
"That is indeed true. Young Master Ye's strength and abilities are indeed greater than us old fellows. One could even say that the main reason our Fourth Void was able to defeat the Guardian Faction so quickly was Young Master Ye playing the most crucial role."
Elder Dongfang, hearing the Mage's words, nodded repeatedly.
During this period, he had once again examined in detail the situation on the various battlefields during the war between the Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction in the Fourth Void. He had come to understand that the most pivotal figure in the Hunyuan Sect's rapid defeat of the Guardian Faction was Ye Yunfei.
One could even say that if Ye Yunfei had not joined that war, the conflict would likely still be ongoing right now, and in the end, I can't imagine the outcome.
