“Your master?
Is your master also a member of the Burial Race?”
Ye Yunfei was slightly taken aback and asked.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei checked the space ring the old man had handed over and couldn't help but draw a sharp breath of astonishment.
The wealth contained within this space ring was astonishingly valuable!
In fact, some of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures made Ye Yunfei marvel inwardly.
“My master is not from the Burial Race.
My master's identity is a taboo subject; I cannot speak of it.
My master said that you must have an astonishing background, and thus, he wishes to forge a bond of goodwill with you.
If we meet again on that future day, I hope you will remember this act of goodwill.”
The old man said.
“But I don't even know who your master is. How could we ever meet again in the future?”
Ye Yunfei said.
“According to Master Teacher, you are destined to become a personage capable of walking out of this cosmic starry sky, stirring up storms across the myriad realms. When that day comes and you meet my master, you will surely know.”
The old man said.
“In that case, does your Master Teacher specialize in the Divination Art?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“Yes.
The Divination Art of my Master Teacher is profoundly mystical.”
The old man nodded.
“So that's the case.
Very well, I am in need of these treasures right now, so I will accept them.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
Treasures handed right to you should not be refused.
“Good.
Young man, you may leave now.”
The old man said to Ye Yunfei.
“Could you tell me about the situation in this Divine Fall Land?”
Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
“Divine Fall Land?
Do you mean this Small World?”
The old man paused and said.
“Yes.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Divine Fall Land is merely your name for it.
For us, this Small World is just a fragment of a broken space.
To put it this way, this space fragment does not truly belong to your universe, but came from another world.
This space fragment is actually a corner of a renowned Forbidden Land in our world.
During a terrible great battle, a piece of that Forbidden Land was shattered and broken off, drifting through the void of space-time, until it collided into your cosmic starry sky and became a Small World.”
The old man explained.
“So that's how it is!
No wonder I always felt the laws of time and space in this Divine Fall Land were incompatible with those of the Xuanhuang Star Domain. So this Divine Fall Land doesn't belong to this cosmic starry sky at all, but is a space fragment from another world!”
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Yunfei suddenly understood.
“As for the circumstances of this Small World, to be honest, I don't know much either.
Back then, my master encountered a great calamity and led us to flee into the Forbidden Land, settling within the confines of these nine peaks.
This Forbidden Land is a famous Life-Forbidden Zone in our universe, even supreme powers of our universe could not easily set foot within it.
My master forbids us from exploring this Forbidden Land.
So I cannot answer your question.”
The old man replied.
“Alright then.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Young man, let me give you a piece of advice: leave this Small World as soon as possible.
Although this Small World is only a corner of the Forbidden Land, it undoubtedly holds many terrifying things.
With your current strength, it would be very difficult for you to handle them.”
The old man said.
“I have another question.
Are there Demigod herbs in this Small World?”
Ye Yunfei asked again.
“Yes!
But, you absolutely must not set your sights on the Demigod herbs.
According to my master, the Demigod herbs in this Small World belong to a very terrifying entity.
That terrifying entity is now one of the overlords of this Small World.
Let alone you, even my master wouldn't dare covet the Demigod herbs.
If you dared to seize the Demigod herbs, I estimate that terrifying entity would pursue you out and completely cripple the star domain you are in.”
The old man said.
“That terrifying?!”
Ye Yunfei was startled.
“In that case, I'd better not entertain thoughts of Demigod herbs for now.”
Ye Yunfei shook his head with a bitter smile.
Ye Yunfei wasn't someone ignorant of his own limitations. In the face of absolute disparity in power, he would choose to retreat.
“According to my knowledge, in the topography of the Nine-Headed Blood Earth, the nine heads should be dark red.
Yet, the nine heads in your Nine-Headed Blood Earth are vividly crimson, clearly not in the most complete state of Nine-Headed Blood Earth.
Thus, you have arranged numerous Formations around it to gather the Yin Qi, baleful energy, cold energy...
...from heaven and earth, hoping to nourish this Nine-Headed Blood Earth and restore it to completion.
Unfortunately, the skill of the one who set up the Formations is insufficient, and the Formations they arranged are not very effective.
This Nine-Headed Blood Earth lacks sufficient energy for nourishment, so it has never been able to evolve into its complete state.”
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke up.
“What?!!
Young man... why do you say that!”
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the old man couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
As a member of the Burial Race, his face was originally expressionless and deathly, but at this moment, he was wide-eyed and utterly astonished.
“Young man, are you saying the level of the Formations I arranged is insufficient?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from nearby.
A Daoist priest appeared!
The Daoist robe this priest wore was exceptionally ancient, filled with the traces of ages, its original color nearly faded beyond recognition.
He also wore a dark gold Daoist crown on his head, but it too was dull and almost rotten.
However, the aura radiating from this Daoist priest was extremely terrifying, incredibly solemn, with a presence like a towering mountain range.
“Master Teacher!”
The moment the old man saw this Daoist priest, his demeanor immediately became one of utmost respect.
“Oh?
It seems you were the one who arranged those Formations.
Yes, the level of the Formations you arranged is indeed quite poor.”
Ye Yunfei nodded mildly.
“Since that is the case, young man, could you offer some guidance?”
The Daoist priest’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light.
“Your master has gifted me generous treasures, so I will guide you in one of those Formations.
However, I do not possess the formation materials required to set up these Formations.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Don’t worry, I have the formation materials.”
The Daoist priest said.
“Also, this Nine-Headed Blood Earth is perilous at every step. With my current strength, I cannot move freely within it.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Do not worry, I will protect you.”
The priest said.
“Very well, let's take that formation over there.”
Ye Yunfei pointed to a location in the distance where a formation existed.
*Swoosh!*
With a flick of his sleeve, the priest sent out a powerful energy to lift Ye Yunfei, and they arrived at that location in an instant.
“Now we shall begin modifying this Formation.”
Ye Yunfei said.
Subsequently, under Ye Yunfei's direction, the Daoist priest continuously took out the corresponding formation materials, modifying the Formation at that location.
During the process of altering the Formation, the Daoist priest's expression grew increasingly shocked.
Because he discovered that the level of Formations Ye Yunfei displayed far exceeded his imagination!
To be honest, at the very beginning, he didn't place much importance on Ye Yunfei.
It was because Ye Yunfei had said the Formations he set up were of poor skill that he felt somewhat indignant and appeared, intending to test Ye Yunfei's own mastery.
But now he realized that his own skill with Formations was simply not up to par in front of Ye Yunfei—it was far too lacking!
Finally, under Ye Yunfei's direction, the Formation modification was completed.
*Rumble…*
Immediately, the Yin Qi, baleful energy, cold energy... and all sorts of other Yin-cold type energies that existed in the heaven and earth near the Nine-Headed Blood Earth began accelerating their convergence towards the Nine-Headed Blood Earth!
“Young man, your mastery of Formations is truly formidable!
I am utterly convinced!”
The Daoist priest said, greatly shaken.
