"Seeking death!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Geomancer's expression darkened.
BOOM...
A terrifying pressure of Soul Power erupted from within his skull, raging forth like a furious gale and a stampede of ten thousand horses, crashing towards Ye Yunfei.
With a single thought from Ye Yunfei.
BOOM...
A wave of Soul Power pressure surged out from his Soul Sea, meeting the oncoming attack.
BOOM BOOM...
The two Soul Power pressures collided, causing the entire great hall to shake violently as if rocked by an earthquake.
"Kid, how is your Soul Power so strong?!"
The Geomancer found it hard to believe.
"But this is still far from enough. Wait until I shatter your Soul Body and scatter your soul to the winds!"
The Geomancer let out a piercing laugh.
Then, with a *whoosh*, he transformed into a streak of light and forced his way into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei did not dodge.
"Haha, kid! You dare to think of destroying the Inverted Yin-Yang Grand Formation I laid and ruin my chance at resurrection? Die!"
The Geomancer appeared within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, roaring with maniacal laughter.
He then charged towards Ye Yunfei's Soul Body, ready to strike.
RUMBLE...
At that very moment, an utterly terrifying pressure of Soul Power abruptly manifested, violently slamming into the Geomancer.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, the Geomancer was sent flying back.
His form also grew a little more translucent.
"Impossible! Kid, you..."
The Geomancer was shocked beyond belief.
BOOM...
Before he could finish his sentence, another overwhelming surge of terrifying Soul Power pressure crashed towards him like a tidal wave.
BAM!
The Geomancer was knocked flying backwards once more.
His form grew even more illusory.
"Die."
Ye Yunfei's indifferent voice rang out.
RUMBLE...
Another powerful wave of Soul Power pressure surged forth imposingly towards the Geomancer.
"Kid, you win!"
The Geomancer employed an escape technique and, in an instant, fled Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Kid, how can there be such a powerful trace of Soul Power within your Soul Sea?"
His Soul Body now floating above the milky-white pool, the Geomancer stared at Ye Yunfei with incredulous eyes as he questioned him.
"You have no need to know.
I presume you are definitely not from the Tianxuan Continent.
You belong to the extra-terrestrial enemies who invaded the Tianxuan Continent.
Today, meeting me is your unlucky day."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
Given this Geomancer was mixed up with the Ancient Demon Race, his identity was easy for Ye Yunfei to guess.
"Don't get cocky, kid! I still have a way to deal with you."
The Geomancer suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Array, activate!"
He was seen making a hand seal with one hand while pointing his other finger at the ground.
RUMBLE...
Thick white mist suddenly rose from beneath the hall's floor, this mist transforming into numerous white flood dragons.
In the blink of an eye, several hundred white mist flood dragons crowded the entire hall, roaring as they pounced from all directions to attack Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
"Not bad. You can actually manipulate earth energy."
Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised and offered praise.
"A shame you've met me."
Ye Yunfei waved his sleeve, gathering Hu Miao, then activated his Shadow Cloak. The two vanished in an instant.
When Ye Yunfei reappeared, he was already beside the milky-white pool.
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei threw a punch towards the Geomancer's physical body seated cross-legged in the pool. His near two million jin of pure physical strength poured forth.
Immediately, the pool's white water was blasted backwards by the force of his fist.
Before the fist even landed, the Geomancer's physical body was shaken, cracks spreading across its surface.
"Kid, stop!"
The Geomancer cried out in alarm.
If his physical body was destroyed, his hope for rebirth and resurrection would be severed unless he could seize another living creature's body.
However, this was a remote wilderness. Hundreds or even thousands of years might pass without a single creature arriving here.
His Soul Body remnant could not wait that long.
BOOM...
Channeling his hand seal, he summoned a large amount of white mist to tightly envelop and protect his physical body.
BOOM BOOM...
Ye Yunfei threw several consecutive punches against the white mist. The terrifying fist winds continued to shake the Geomancer's physical body, causing it to crack further.
"Kid, stop! Let's talk this through!"
The Geomancer was now completely panicked.
He realized he was utterly helpless against Ye Yunfei.
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei did not reply, instead throwing powerful punch after punch.
Although enveloped by the thick white mist, the Geomancer's physical body was still jolted incessantly, the cracks on its surface multiplying.
"Kid, I can give you half of this Earth Spirit Vein!"
The Geomancer shouted.
BOOM BOOM...
The response he received was Ye Yunfei's fists.
"Kid! I am a Geomancer! I can pass on to you the art of earth-divining and geomancy that I have studied my whole life!"
The Geomancer cried out.
"You are a Geomancer?"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Geomancers practiced the art of earth-divining and were rather mysterious existences.
In his previous life, as a Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei had studied alchemy, artifact forging, formations, as well as all sorts of advanced techniques and manuals—he had touched upon many fields.
But he knew relatively little about the Geomancer profession.
That's because Geomancers were relatively few in number and tended to operate quite discreetly.
He hadn't expected this Geomancer before him to be one.
"So, does that mean the 'Nine Dragons Holding the Pearl of the Nether' geomantic layout in the small world within the Central Region of the Tianxuan Continent was also your doing?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly recalled the 'Nine Dragons Holding the Pearl of the Nether' layout within the underground palace of the crystal mine small world in the Central Region.
"Correct.
After that great war in the past, many members of the Ancient Demon Race were severely injured, on the verge of death. They begged me to help them set up various yin-geomantic layouts to nourish their corpses, awaiting resurrection in the future."
answered the Geomancer.
"Young man, as long as you do not destroy my physical body,
I can pass on to you the earth-divining studies of my lifetime.
You are so young, yet your Soul Power is already this formidable. Learning the art of earth-divining would be child's play for you."
The Geomancer replied.
"Fine. I want half of this Earth Spirit Vein.
Impart your earth-divining technique to me, and I can spare your life."
After a moment's thought, Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Deal."
The Geomancer breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as his physical body remained intact, he would always have hope of resurrection in the future.
"Also, tell me, why did you extra-terrestrial invaders attack the Tianxuan Continent back then.
Was it for plunder and enslavement?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Plunder and enslavement were only part of the reason.
Our invasion of the Tianxuan Continent was primarily to search for the Heavenly Dao Tower."
said the Geomancer.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes.
The Heavenly Dao Tower is the number one treasure of our Xuanhuang Star Domain. Legend has it that whoever obtains the Heavenly Dao Tower can dominate the Xuanhuang Star Domain, and even, the entire cosmos!
Back then, a certain elder of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, through divination, listed the twenty most likely places where the Heavenly Dao Tower might be hidden. One of them was the Tianxuan Continent.
Therefore, several major powers dispatched forces to enter the Tianxuan Continent back then. Who would have thought they'd encounter such fierce resistance from the continent's martial artists."
The Geomancer explained.
"So that's how it is.
What is the origin of this Heavenly Dao Tower? Obtaining it allows one to dominate the entire cosmos?"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"No one can clearly say what the true origin of the Heavenly Dao Tower is.
Why obtaining it would allow domination of the entire Xuanhuang Star Domain, or even the cosmos, is also unclear.
A great being once witnessed with their own eyes two children, beautiful like jade figurines, playing and frolicking inside the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Those two children are most likely Demigod Medicines!
That fact alone is enough to drive countless people to frantically pursue the Heavenly Dao Tower's whereabouts."
The Geomancer spoke slowly, a look of yearning appearing on his face.
"Two Demigod Medicines!"
Even Ye Yunfei couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
