After repeated explanations from Elder Tang Wu, the Tang Clan members finally believed that the graceful young lady standing before them was indeed the Snow Princess!
Then, each member of the Tang Clan became extremely excited, surrounding Xue'er as if looking at a precious treasure.
"How has everyone's cultivation been during this period?" Ye Yunfei asked Elder Tang Wu.
"Everyone has been cultivating with all their might. Moreover, the supply of cultivation resources and medicinal pills has been quite sufficient. During this time, most people have made some progress in strength. At this rate, the overall strength of our Qingyun Palace will rise significantly before long," Elder Tang Wu replied.
"That's good. The development momentum of our Qingyun Palace is positive. The improvement in strength of our Houtu Sect has been especially pronounced!" At this moment, the Houtu Sect Leader also arrived beside Ye Yunfei and spoke up.
Ye Yunfei had already discussed with Elder Tang Wu, the Houtu Sect Leader, and others about establishing Qingyun Palace. Now, the Tang Clan, the Houtu Sect, and the warriors Ye Yunfei had brought out from the Tianxuan Continent all belonged to Qingyun Palace!
"These resources shall be entrusted to you two for safekeeping."
"How about this: gather everyone together. I want to check on their situation," Ye Yunfei said after some thought.
"Alright." Elder Tang Wu and the Houtu Sect Leader both nodded.
A short while later.
The members of the Tang Clan, the Houtu Sect, and the people Ye Yunfei had brought out from Tianxuan Continent were all assembled before Ye Yunfei.
Among them, the Houtu Sect had the most members, nearly ten thousand! The Tang Clan had over seven hundred. Those Ye Yunfei had brought from Tianxuan Continent numbered around two hundred.
Ye Yunfei spent most of the day studying the strength of everyone present.
Half a day later.
Ye Yunfei selected over a thousand people.
"You all shall go into seclusion to break through and advance your realms," Ye Yunfei said to these thousand-plus individuals.
All of these people had exceptionally solid foundations in spiritual power, their accumulations sufficient, possessing the basic conditions for realm breakthrough. Ye Yunfei intended to help them advance!
Next, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and, together with Huang Shang, refined a batch of medicinal pills tailored for these thousand-plus individuals.
While Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang were refining pills, they had Pill Sage observe and learn from the side. Ye Yunfei intended to train Pill Sage to become Qingyun Palace's pill-refining master in the future.
For any faction, having its own pill master was of immense significance.
Once the pills were refined, Ye Yunfei ordered these thousand-plus individuals to immediately go into seclusion to break through their realms.
"Uncle Zhong, this bottle of pills is for you. You may attempt to breakthrough to the early-stage Great Mystic Pill Realm," Ye Yunfei said, handing a jade bottle to Li Zhong.
Like Xue'er, Li Zhong had previously had his dantian destroyed. Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had cured his dantian, allowing him to recover to the strength of late-stage Small Mysterious Dan Realm.
"Good!" Li Zhong accepted the jade bottle excitedly and then went into seclusion to breakthrough.
"For the next two days, I will personally explain some foundational knowledge and various cautions regarding cultivation and polishing spiritual power. I will also impart some simple, practical tips tailored to your specific circumstances. This will benefit your future cultivation. I hope everyone will listen carefully!" Ye Yunfei said to the remaining people.
"Excellent!" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, everyone was extremely excited.
The news of Ye Yunfei's great battle in Liu City had long since spread back, known to all. When they heard that Ye Yunfei had demonstrated his might in Liu City, exterminating the Violet Dawn Sect and the Liu Clan, slaying over two hundred Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, and killing four Soul Formation Realm experts in succession, everyone's blood boiled with excitement, fully regarding Ye Yunfei as their idol.
Now that Ye Yunfei would personally preach the Dao to them, naturally, everyone was thrilled.
Ye Yunfei ordered someone to build a raised platform inside one of the caves, upon which he sat cross-legged.
Nearly eight or nine thousand people sat encircling the platform on all sides.
Then, Ye Yunfei began to lecture on some fundamental knowledge and various cautions regarding cultivating spiritual power for these individuals. He even imparted some simple techniques specifically for polishing spiritual power and strengthening one's foundation.
Having cultivated for a thousand years and ascended to the Heavenly Emperor's throne in his past life, Ye Yunfei's cultivation experience was incomparably rich, his comprehension of every spiritual power realm profoundly deep. Now, personally mounting the platform to preach the Dao to these thousands of warriors was an immense help to them!
Almost every warrior listened with rapt attention.
The myriad doubts and difficult problems they had encountered in their past cultivation were almost all instantly resolved during Ye Yunfei's explanations, leaving them feeling suddenly enlightened!
The higher-ups of the Tang Clan, including Elder Tang Wu, and those of the Houtu Sect, including its Leader, each listened with blooming brows and radiant smiles, extremely moved.
"Before Young Master Ye, I am but a junior! Young Master Ye's martial experience and his various insights into the martial dao are too brilliant, too profound, too thorough! One could say, listening to Young Master Ye's current lecture is worth centuries of painful self-exploration for me!" Elder Tang Wu couldn't help but sigh deeply, virtually prostrating himself with admiration for Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's lecturing voice echoed sonorously within the cave. Every martial artist listened with complete concentration, fearing to miss a single word from Ye Yunfei. Many meticulous warriors had long since prepared recording crystals, capturing all of Ye Yunfei's words to review later at any time.
Two days later.
"Alright, everyone may disperse. Remember, each of you must devote all your time to cultivation. As for cultivation resources, you need not worry. I will provide sufficient cultivation resources for you all," Ye Yunfei finally announced clearly, then descended from the platform, ending this lecture session.
The warriors surrounding the platform began to slowly disperse.
"Elder Tang Wu, Sect Leader, come with me," Ye Yunfei said to Elder Tang Wu and the Houtu Sect Leader.
Then, Ye Yunfei teleported Elder Tang Wu and the Houtu Sect Leader into the Phantom Tower.
"Elder Tang Wu, you have been stuck at the mid-stage Primordial Soul Realm for nearly two centuries. Your spiritual power foundation is already extremely deep. Next, you will cultivate in seclusion for a few years within my spatial treasure, striving to break through to the Soul Formation Realm," Ye Yunfei said to Elder Tang Wu.
Ever since encountering the Tang Clan, Ye Yunfei had used pills to increase the Tang Clan's Primordial Soul Realm experts by six. However, he had never helped Elder Tang Wu break through.
Actually, Ye Yunfei had long been prepared. Elder Tang Wu had been stuck at the mid-stage Primordial Soul Realm for centuries; his accumulation was tremendous, his spiritual power foundation exceptionally solid! Ye Yunfei already had a plan in mind to help Elder Tang Wu break through to the Soul Formation Realm in one go!
"Break through to the Soul Formation Realm! Young Master Ye, are you serious? You think I can do it?" Elder Tang Wu, hearing Ye Yunfei's words, trembled slightly with excitement, yet also felt somewhat incredulous.
"Of course you can. For the next few years, you will cultivate in seclusion here, practicing those techniques I previously entrusted to you. When the time is right, I will assist your breakthrough," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent! Young Master Ye, I'll listen to you!" Elder Tang Wu was excited beyond words.
Breaking through to become a Soul Formation Realm expert! This was practically his most cherished dream!
"Sect Leader, you should also cultivate here for a few years, striving to break through to the mid-stage Primordial Soul Realm," Ye Yunfei said to the Houtu Sect Leader.
"Very well." The Houtu Sect Leader was also very excited.
In the time that followed, Elder Tang Wu and the Houtu Sect Leader both remained in the Phantom Tower, cultivating in seclusion. A few years inside the Phantom Tower amounted to less than half a month in the outside world!
At the same time.
Within the Ancient Demon Realm.
"Useless scum! So many Soul Formation Realm cultivators, yet you can't even deal with a mere junior!" A roar like violent thunder echoed within a palace teeming with demonic energy.
Inside the palace, a large group of Ancient Demon Race experts stood carefully before Aoyue Demon King, none daring to utter a word.
Aoyue Demon King was in a furious rage; no one dared to provoke his wrath.
"I truly didn't expect a mere human youngster from a lowly continent like Tianxuan to mature this quickly! It seems, to deal with Ye Yunfei, I shall have to handle this personally," Aoyue Demon King said coldly after venting his rage, his emotions gradually calming.
