Inside the Phantom Tower.
Dozens upon dozens of spatial rings were laid out in front of Ye Yunfei.
He had plundered most of the cities in the Demon Domain!
It was said that half of the Ancient Demon Race's wealth was located within the Demon Domain.
One could imagine just how immense Ye Yunfei's haul had been over this period!
Countless spirit stones, herbs, pills, and all manner of rare and precious natural treasures, their numbers simply beyond reckoning!
Just the number of spatial rings laid out before Ye Yunfei at this moment reached into the thousands!
Each one was filled to the brim with all sorts of resources.
"Hu Miao, help me sort them out. Separate all resources that contain wood attribute energy," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
"Okay," Hu Miao nodded.
Then, batch after batch of cultivation resources imbued with wood-attribute energy were continuously sorted out and neatly arranged around Ye Yunfei's body.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in the center and activated the Greenwood Emperor Body.
Whoosh...
Innumerable streams of azure wood-attribute energy were drawn out, resembling rivers of green mist, howling as they converged towards Ye Yunfei's body, instantly submerging him.
As he absorbed more and more wood-attribute energy, the recovery of Ye Yunfei's physical body began to accelerate dramatically!
Seen from afar, it was as if a large, flawless piece of green jade had been placed there.
His limbs, chest, head, abdomen, and internal organs — everything glowed radiantly through and through, akin to a statue carved from green jade!
Ye Yunfei's limbs, torso, and head, which had been severely damaged before, had now completely restored to their original form.
Three months later, within the Phantom Tower.
"My injuries are completely healed!"
Ye Yunfei ceased his healing.
"Moreover, by absorbing a vast amount of wood-attribute energy, my Greenwood Emperor Body at the great achievement realm has a sense of breaking out of its cocoon to be reborn, taking a step further. It feels significantly more formidable than before!"
Ye Yunfei clenched his fist, feeling the vast, surging vitality within his body, a sensation that filled him with great satisfaction.
Next.
"Let's cultivate the Gluttonous Beast first!"
With a thought from Ye Yunfei,
Roar...
The Gluttonous Beast surged out from behind Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei took out a massive amount of cultivation resources and allowed the Gluttonous Beast to devour them freely.
After all, having plundered most of the cities in the Demon Domain, the amount of wealth on his person was almost incalculable.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"We'll stop cultivating the Gluttonous Beast here for now."
A month later, Ye Yunfei ceased further cultivation of the Gluttonous Beast.
During this month, the Gluttonous Beast had absorbed an immense quantity of resources, and its overall strength had skyrocketed once again.
It could be said that among the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palace Totem Wheel, the strongest one at present was undoubtedly the Gluttonous Beast!
"Next, I'll cultivate some spatial energy."
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei stood up and muttered to himself.
This was a long-distance spatial transport passage, containing vast amounts of profound spatial energy.
Such an environment was exceptionally suitable for cultivating spatial energy.
Ye Yunfei transmitted out of the Phantom Tower.
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was lazily crawling through the spatial depths, seemingly lethargically out of boredom.
When he saw Ye Yunfei emerge, he raised his tiny golden dragon head and glanced at Ye Yunfei.
"Kid, you're okay then. Good that you're alright," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said with an old and sage-like tone.
"Oh right. Do you have any more of those pills you refine?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm then continued.
He loved eating the pills Ye Yunfei personally refined the most, and that was also the reason he was so obedient to Ye Yunfei.
One must know, with Ye Yunfei being a Pill Sovereign, there weren't many beings in the world fortunate enough to regularly receive pills personally refined by Ye Yunfei.
This Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was quite the connoisseur. Therefore, he chose to stick by Ye Yunfei's side and refused to leave.
"Fine, then."
Ye Yunfei shook his head with a smile, flicked his finger, and over a dozen Dao Pills flew out, landing before the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
To be honest, this time, it was the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm who had saved Ye Yunfei.
So, Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't be stingy with him.
"Haha, you human kid, seems you have a conscience!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm stared at those Dao Pills, his eyes shining. He hurriedly dashed over and began devouring them heartily!
After emerging from the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei stood within this spatial passage, deployed his spatial energy, and sensed for a moment. He couldn't help but give a wry chuckle.
"This long-distance spatial teleportation channel is actually just a half-finished product! It fundamentally cannot teleport living beings. At most, it can only transport some items!"
It seemed the so-called expert who had opened this spatial passage in the first place simply didn't have sufficient mastery over spatial energy and spatial laws, creating a passage incapable of transporting living creatures!
Roar...
At this moment, the Roc emerged from Ye Yunfei's back, spreading a pair of sky-shrouding wings as it began to absorb and refine the spatial energy within this passage.
Boom...
Within this spatial passage, ocean-like waves of spatial energy surged from all directions, converging around the Roc like roaring whirlwinds, and were absorbed by it.
As it absorbed more and more spatial energy, the aura emanating from this Roc grew increasingly vast and boundless.
Spatial energy was, after all, one of the innate talents of the Roc. In such a dense environment of spatial energy, its cultivation naturally proceeded smoothly and effortlessly, bringing immense satisfaction.
Rumble...
At a certain moment, this spatial passage suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Could it be that something is about to be teleported over?"
Ye Yunfei, proficient in spatial energy, naturally sensed immediately what this trembling signified.
One must know, back in the day, creating such a long-distance spatial teleportation passage would have been a trivial matter for Ye Yunfei, achievable with just a lift of his hand!
Utterly lacking in technical difficulty!
At the same time.
In the plaza outside.
"Three Great Demon Kings, good news! It appears I am about to make contact with that great personage from the Ancestral Realm!" Advisor Tiangu said excitedly.
"Wonderful! Advisor Tiangu, remember, you must use all means to befriend this great personage from the Ancestral Realm! If we can please him, it will bring tremendous benefits to our Demon Race branch in the future. Perhaps, moved by compassion, this great personage from the Ancestral Realm might even find a way to bring us back to the Ancestral Realm!"
The three Demon Kings were also extremely agitated.
Over the past couple of days, these high-ranking members of the Ancient Demon Race had been guarding this place precisely to curry favor with that great personage from the Ancestral Realm.
"Advisor Tiangu, here, take these. These treasures are the most valuable batch our Ancient Demon Race can currently produce. Offer them to that great personage from the Ancestral Realm!" Demon King Aoyue waved his hand, and hundreds of spatial rings flew out, landing before Advisor Tiangu as he spoke.
"Rest assured, Three Great Demon Kings. I know how to proceed," Advisor Tiangu replied carefully as he arranged those several hundred spatial rings upon the ancient altar.
At this moment.
The spatial rift above the ancient altar trembled more and more intensely.
Deep within the spatial rift, Ye Yunfei discovered a pinpoint of light rapidly teleporting through the other end of the spatial channel.
"Looks like... a magical treasure?"
Ye Yunfei felt a bit curious.
"If it really is a treasure, then I'll humbly accept it with no further refusal!"
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
