One month later, Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in cultivating the Heaven-Borrowing Nine Burials Fist.
Ye Yunfei stretched out his right fist and gently clenched it.
Rumble rumble...
In the surrounding world, energy, laws, and the grand momentum of the world came rolling toward him, empowering his fist.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire surrounding heaven and earth trembled because of Ye Yunfei's fist.
'What a familiar feeling. It seems I have rediscovered that passionate, battle-ready feeling from my previous life,' Ye Yunfei thought.
He felt an inexhaustible strength in his fist. If this punch were to be unleashed, it could absolutely contend with a high-level Imperial Realm expert!
Or even crush them!
In a sense, the Heaven-Borrowing Nine Burials Fist was a martial art specifically created for cross-level combat.
'Alright, next, it's time to refine a batch of pills specifically designed to elevate Soul Power.'
Ye Yunfei took out a large quantity of medicinal herbs, including Dao Medicines and Divine Herbs, and began refining pills.
One day later, Ye Yunfei refined a large batch of pills.
The quantity was so large, it numbered several hundred pellets!
Then, Ye Yunfei began taking the pills.
Three days later.
Ye Yunfei had finally taken and refined all the pills, and his Soul Power level rose another significant notch!
'My current level of Soul Power can already be used to deal with late-stage Imperial Realm cultivators,' Ye Yunfei thought to himself, releasing his Soul Power to sense its strength.
'Alright, it's time to leave seclusion.'
Ye Yunfei stood up.
This time, over a year had passed inside the Phantom Tower.
Only a few days had passed in the outside world.
'Hmm? Their strength seems to have progressed quite a bit as well.'
Releasing his Soul Power to sense the situation of Wu Heishan and the others, Ye Yunfei was a little pleasantly surprised.
Wu Heishan and the others were also cultivating within the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, appearing before Wu Heishan.
'Good. You've finally broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm,' Ye Yunfei nodded, sensing Wu Heishan's spiritual energy aura.
'You've also broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm,' Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to Yuan Dayong.
Both of them had broken through during this period.
'Show me the cultivation techniques you've been practicing,' Ye Yunfei said.
'Boss, let me go first!' Wu Heishan stepped forward excitedly and unleashed the Great Law of Stars.
Immediately, a glorious starry sky descended in the void. Each star seemed to weigh a mountain, rumbling with terrifying power.
Standing within that starry sky, bathed in brilliant starlight, Wu Heishan looked indescribably transcendent.
'Not bad. You've already grasped the preliminary intent of the stars. It looks quite substantial now. You might not even be inferior to an ordinary late-stage Primordial Soul cultivator,' Ye Yunfei nodded with a smile.
Next, Yuan Dayong displayed the Divine Heavy Earth Art.
Immediately, one heavy earthen wall after another continuously emerged, causing the void to rumble.
'Excellent. Your character is most suited for this technique. Your current combat power is roughly equivalent to a late-stage Primordial Soul cultivator,' Ye Yunfei nodded approvingly.
'The two of you won't be far off from breaking through either,' Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to Wen Zi and Dugu Huan. After sensing their auras, he continued, 'Both Wen Zi and Dugu Huan are already at the late stage of the Primordial Soul Realm, and their accumulation is sufficient. It won't be long before they break through to the Soul Formation Realm!' This cultivation speed secretly astonished even Ye Yunfei. Moreover, both Dugu Huan and Wen Zi now possessed the strength to fight Soul Formation Realm opponents!
Wen Zi's body was fused with a wisp of Taichu Prime Yang Spirit Energy, and Dugu Huan possessed a monstrous talent on the path of the saber. Both of their combat strengths far surpassed their cultivation realms, allowing them to engage in cross-level battles with ease! This was similar to Ye Yunfei. Cross-level combat was almost a shared trait of all monstrous geniuses.
Next, Ye Yunfei sensed Long Yingying's strength.
Her spiritual power cultivation was at the middle-stage Profound Core Realm. Her starting point was much lower than Wu Heishan and the others initially. However, after the combat clan bloodline within her body was initially awakened, her progress became exceedingly rapid. Moreover, the combat strength of her clan was not always proportional to the cultivation realm. Instead, it was related to the bloodline within her body! The higher the degree of activation of the bloodline, the greater the combat power she could unleash!
Then, Ye Yunfei sought out the more than fifty disciples of the Ye Family. These fifty-plus juniors were brought to the Xuanhuang Star Domain by Ye Tianpeng and several Ye Family Elders upon Ye Yunfei's request.
These disciples had also remained in the Phantom Tower to cultivate during this time.
Ye Yunfei delightedly discovered that their strength had improved significantly. Almost every one of them had made substantial progress! However, this was not surprising. Ye Yunfei had provided them with absolutely sufficient cultivation resources, and in private, he had taught them several advanced techniques and martial skills.
Among them, Ye Xue had already broken through to the late stage of the Lesser Profound Core Realm!
Such cultivation speed drew admiring clicks of the tongue from Ye Yunfei.
'Although Snow Sis's talent can't be considered first-rate, her mental fortitude is exceptionally firm. For a martial artist, firmness of will is just as important as talent!' Ye Yunfei thought inwardly as he sensed Ye Xue's spiritual energy aura.
Next, Ye Yunfei found Jiang Yanran.
During these past days, Jiang Yanran had also entered the Phantom Tower to cultivate. Before his seclusion, Ye Yunfei had instructed Elder Tang Wu to organize a group of people to enter the Phantom Tower for cultivation, so a large group of youths had entered.
'Finally remembered me,' Jiang Yanran's beautiful eyes swept over Ye Yunfei, her expression tinged with a hint of melancholy.
Since arriving at this underground cave complex, she had remained with her family, never leaving.
'Sister Yanran, your accumulation at the late-stage Primordial Soul Realm is already quite solid. You can try breaking through to the Soul Formation Realm,' Ye Yunfei said after sensing Jiang Yanran's spiritual energy aura.
'Take this bottle of Dao Pills and refine them. They can help you break through to the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm in a short period,' Ye Yunfei said, taking out a jade vial and handing it to Jiang Yanran.
'Thank you. Ye Yunfei, the distance between you and me keeps growing larger. I've heard that you've already killed many Imperial Realm experts,' Jiang Yanran stared blankly at Ye Yunfei with her beautiful eyes.
She couldn't help but recall the first time they met. Back then, Ye Yunfei's strength was also impressive, but the gap between them wasn't too vast. Now, the disparity had grown to a despairing degree.
'Sister Yanran, your talent is excellent. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will surely attain strength like mine in the future,' Ye Yunfei replied.
After spending a little more time with Jiang Yanran, Ye Yunfei left the Phantom Tower.
'Ye Yunfei, a major event has occurred.'
The moment Elder Tang Wu's Soul Power detected Ye Yunfei's presence, he rushed to stand before him.
'Oh? What major event?' Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
So, Elder Tang Wu recounted the matter of the Star Nation Expeditionary Army.
'The Star Nation's strength is extremely powerful, and they enjoy dispatching armies to invade and conquer everywhere, having occupied many star domains. Once the Xuanhuang Star Domain is occupied by the Star Nation's army, it will henceforth become a sub-base under their permanent rule. One can say the current situation is extremely grave. Ye Yunfei, what do you think we should do?' Elder Tang Wu said.
'In times of turmoil like this, preserving our strength should be our main priority,' Ye Yunfei said slowly after giving it some thought.
'I have three combat formations here. Immediately organize everyone to cultivate them collectively. They may prove useful later,' Ye Yunfei said, thinking again before waving his hand and sending a technique jade slip flying to land before Elder Tang Wu.
'Combat formations! Good, I'll organize everyone to cultivate them right away!' Elder Tang Wu's spirits lifted. Taking the jade slip, he turned and left.
Naturally, he understood the preciousness of combat formations. Moreover, he knew that anything produced by Ye Yunfei would definitely be extraordinary!
'For some reason, I've felt uneasy recently, as if something bad is about to happen,' Ye Yunfei murmured with a light frown.
At the same time.
On the Tianxuan Continent, within the Guardian Academy.
On top of a certain peak.
'The Pang Clan will likely arrive soon. But Fei'er is in the Xuanhuang Star Domain. With my abilities, I simply cannot enter the Xuanhuang Star Domain to notify Fei'er. Not only me, no one in the entire Tianxuan Continent has the ability to enter the Xuanhuang Star Domain. What should I do?' Ye Tianpeng stood atop the peak, gazing into the distant sky, his face full of anxiety. In fact, he had spent every day of late in this anxious state.
