"Spatial Ring?" the two Ling Jiao Xi hesitated, looking at Ye Bufan, "How large is your spatial ring? There are over twenty Ling Jiao Xi here, big and small, so..."
"If you have any doubts, you can go in and take a look first," Ye Bufan said.
Following this, Ye Bufan's spiritual power enveloped Xi Fei, and in the next second, Xi Fei appeared in a certain space within the Taiyi Divine Sect. Upon seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
Ye Bufan then brought Xi Fei back out. Xi Fei was still immersed in the previous shock.
"What's wrong?" Xi Yi asked curiously, seeing Xi Fei's expression.
"Wonderful! It's truly wonderful! It's simply a miracle, a miracle. It's so magical." Xi Fei recounted everything he had just seen to Xi Yi, and then both of their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Now you should believe, right? If you don't, I can let your wives go in and take a look to confirm," Ye Bufan said with a slight smile.
"I also want to go in and take a look," Xi Yi finally took the initiative to request.
Without a word, Ye Bufan enveloped Xi Yi with his spiritual power. In the next second, Xi Yi vanished from his spot and appeared inside the Taiyi Ring. Seeing the scene within the Taiyi Divine Sect, Xi Yi was also stunned.
What he saw before him was almost identical to what Xi Fei had seen earlier.
This place was even better than the world they had always lived in, with abundant spiritual energy, making it extremely suitable for cultivation.
Ye Bufan, seeing that the time was about right, brought Xi Yi out of the Taiyi Ring.
"How is it? Is this environment enough for you twenty-odd Ling Jiao Xi to live in?" Ye Bufan asked.
"Enough! It's more than enough," Xi Fei exclaimed excitedly.
"Can we go in now then?" Xi Yi asked. At this moment, for the two Ling Jiao Xi, being able to enter Ye Bufan's ring space was even more desirable than returning to their original forest.
Ye Bufan looked at the two Ling Jiao Xi and secretly smiled. Judging by their reactions, Ye Bufan knew his objective had been achieved.
"My current abilities are limited. I intend for you to stay here for now. Once the restrictions disappear, I will come back for you and bring you into my ring. Then we can leave this place together," Ye Bufan stated.
"This..."
Clearly, Ye Bufan's words took Xi Fei and Xi Yi by surprise.
"Ye Bufan, your spatial ring is practically a divine artifact. Therefore, my wife and I have a humble request," Xi Fei and Xi Yi exchanged a glance.
Ye Bufan appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was already overjoyed.
"Please, speak," Ye Bufan asked with a solemn expression.
"We wish to reside in your spatial ring. Is that permissible?" Xi Fei and Xi Yi showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
"No," Ye Bufan replied. "This is a supreme treasure of the sect, and only sect disciples are allowed to enter."
Xi Fei and Xi Yi exchanged another glance. A faint light flickered on their single horns, indicating they were communicating something.
"We are willing to join your sect and become guardian beasts for your sect. We only need you to allot us a piece of land to stay in," Xi Fei and Xi Yi proposed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan feigned a look of difficulty.
Xi Fei and Xi Yi exchanged glances again, only then realizing that Ye Bufan might have other intentions.
"Ye Bufan, we won't beat around the bush. Just tell us directly what you want us to do," Xi Fei said.
"It's very simple. I am currently short of helpers. When the restrictions on Blue Star disappear, there will inevitably be turmoil. At that time, I will need your help to quell the unrest," Ye Bufan stated straightforwardly. "Of course, I won't ask you to work for nothing. I will provide you with spirit stones for cultivation. After the restrictions disappear and you've helped me resolve the issue, I will take you back to your world."
"Spirit stones?" Xi Fei and Xi Yi exchanged glances again upon hearing this, their eyes filled with excitement.
"We agree," Xi Fei and Xi Yi declared.
Unbeknownst to Ye Bufan, these two Ling Jiao Xi already had other plans in mind. In Xi Fei and Xi Yi's world, the status of demonic beasts was inherently low, and they had always been in conflict with humans and demons.
To their surprise, upon arriving in this world and encountering Ye Bufan, he was able to provide them with cultivation resources. With this, both of them began to consider pledging their allegiance to Ye Bufan.
All they needed to do was to demonstrate their value to Ye Bufan and then propose to follow him from then on.
Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Ye Bufan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright, your words are enough."
"As agreed, with my current cultivation level, I can only bring two to three individuals of similar cultivation into the ring at a time. I can bring more of those in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. It will take some time, and during this period, my cultivation will be relatively weak, so I will need you to guard me from the side," Ye Bufan stated.
"No problem," Xi Fei readily agreed.
Inside the Taiyi Ring, Ye Bufan found a suitable location for the Ling Jiao Xi. It was the very place where he had encountered the Flood Dragon from the Taiyi Divine Sect back then. The Flood Dragon's soul had not yet dissipated there, and it could be used to suppress them.
First, Ye Bufan sent in the weakest Ling Jiao Xi, those at the Qi Refining stage. Ye Bufan calculated that there were fifteen of them.
Next were those at the Foundation Establishment stage, totaling ten individuals. Finally, there were the two Ling Jiao Xi at the Core Formation stage. In total, there were twenty-seven Ling Jiao Xi, which was a considerable number for Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan spent an entire afternoon before finally transferring all the Ling Jiao Xi into the Taiyi Divine Sect's space.
Taiyi Divine Sect's central hub.
Several figures stood within the central hub of the Taiyi Divine Sect, each of them faintly discernible, appearing as if they could vanish at any moment.
These were wisps of residual souls of the Taiyi Divine Sect's great elders. After Ye Bufan passed the test, all the residual souls were transmitted into the ring's central hub through the ring's teleportation mechanism, awaiting the arrival of their final moments.
Looking at the formerly deserted Taiyi Divine Sect, which was now gradually attracting disciples to learn and demonic beasts to guard it, some residual souls finally dissipated in the space with satisfaction.
"Farewell, Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
"Farewell, Great Elder!"
"Farewell, Fourth Elder!"
