Xiao Fei had Han Yi lead the troops to help him conquer the lands, and Fei Yu act as a divine stick to manage the populace and stabilize the realm.
He himself felt a bit embarrassed to be too idle.
Since advancing to the Integration stage, the Giant race cultivation techniques he had practiced before were no longer useful.
This was because, with the Giant race's innate talent, they could at most grow to the Integration stage.
Breaking through the growth limit of the Integration stage was extremely difficult, such an opportunity was rare and could not be sought.
The leader of the one-eared bandits had, from some unknown place, obtained a treasure. Upon consuming it, he could temporarily break through his strength's limit.
However, after the medicinal effect wore off, he became impotent.
He had interrogated all the remaining bandits, but none of them knew what it was, nor how the one-eared bandit had obtained it.
He was not too disappointed by this.
It was difficult for Giants to break through their limits, which did not affect him much. With his current heaven-defying aptitude, cultivating to the Mahayana stage would be a mere flick of his wrist.
Was cultivation difficult?
At this moment, Xiao Fei was sitting in the space, lost in thought. The dense spiritual energy surged madly into his body, forming funnel-shaped vortexes of qi around him.
It was as if his body were a bottomless abyss, devouring this boundless spiritual energy.
The "Primordial Chaos Technique" automatically operated, and the spiritual energy that entered his body was rapidly refined into origin pháp lực.
According to legends in the cultivation world, the higher one's cultivation, the more difficult it would be to cultivate and advance.
Especially after reaching the Soul Transformation stage, every small step forward required a vast amount of time, as well as heavenly treasures or other fortuitous encounters.
The vast majority of cultivators could only stop at the Soul Transformation stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage.
In the entire Tian Yuan Realm, including all races, only a few thousand people could cultivate to the Void Refinement stage, and there were even fewer Integration stage powerhouses, merely a few dozen.
From this, one could see the difficulty of cultivation.
While Xiao Fei was in a daze, a continuous stream of spiritual energy surged into his body, and his cultivation realm visibly climbed upwards.
Previously, he had to be extremely careful to prevent his cultivation from advancing too quickly, lest he trigger a breakthrough to a major realm inadvertently.
Now that he had just broken through to the Integration stage, he did not need to worry about his cultivation breaking through to the Mahayana stage in a short period.
Therefore, he let go, allowing his body to actively absorb spiritual energy and his cultivation to rise rapidly.
As for the legends in the cultivation world about cultivation advancement being extremely difficult, it simply did not exist.
Cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking, a simple matter.
If it felt difficult, it was because one was too trashy.
After a period of dazing, Xiao Fei came back to his senses and realized that he had only broken through to the Integration stage not long ago, and his cultivation had advanced by a large margin again.
Perhaps, before long, he would be able to advance to the mid-Integration stage.
Xiao Fei did not pay too much attention to such trivial matters. He wandered around the space at will, letting his body absorb the dense spiritual energy within.
The immortal herb he had obtained from the black dog last time had indeed taken root and grown in the space.
Its growth was a bit slow, but one thing brought Xiao Fei great satisfaction: this immortal herb could only absorb spiritual energy in the space, yet the energy produced within it was still immortal qi.
He plucked a leaf from this immortal herb and used the Law of Gathering and Scattering to decompose the leaf.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the leaf in his hand was completely decomposed, and several clusters of objects floated in the air.
These included several active ingredients from the leaf, some impurities, and a small cluster of immortal qi.
"Hahaha…"
Xiao Fei could not help but laugh heartily. With this, it seemed he had mastered a method to synthesize immortal qi from spiritual energy.
Although the efficiency was a bit slow, it was still something from nothing.
In the Tian Yuan Realm and the Giant Realm he had experienced, he had never heard of any place that possessed immortal qi.
In the future, he might be the only person in the entire lower realm to possess immortal qi.
Xiao Fei stored this cluster of immortal qi in a small bottle, thinking it might be useful later, or at the very least, could be used to deceive people.
The other active ingredients were also collected for later research on their effects.
Then, he walked towards the tall mountain in the space.
The wind at the mountain peak was fierce, but Xiao Fei also sensed traces of extremely thin immortal qi within these strong winds.
However, the immortal qi was too dilute and was within the fierce winds, making it difficult to absorb.
He did not know if it was because the jade disc had absorbed immortal stones, or if it was a natural product that appeared when the space developed to a certain extent.
Standing on the mountaintop, Xiao Fei could see the entire panorama of the space.
Most of the land in the space had appeared only after he advanced to the Integration stage.
Now, all these new lands were planted with high-yield grains. Many grains had already ripened, and some puppets were harvesting them.
With this first batch of grains, he would no longer have to worry about a shortage of food.
Having grain in hand brought peace of mind, a saying that was even more applicable in the Giant world.
Because Han Yi led the troops to conquer territories and achieved continuous victories, other city-states had become vigilant.
Now, some city-states had formed alliances, intending to jointly resist Han Yi's army.
Recently, the resistance Han Yi encountered in his advance had grown increasingly strong.
Moreover, the two hundred people led by Han Yi had charged forward in countless battles, suffering gradual losses. Now, only a little over 150 remained.
Among these 150 people, many were wounded, and their combat effectiveness had severely declined.
Now that he had enough food, Xiao Fei planned to organize another army to be dispatched. He wanted to accelerate the process of unification.
Since that black dog was killed, the sense of crisis he felt had suddenly disappeared.
But in recent times, the sense of crisis had resurfaced, enveloping him and making him feel very suppressed.
He had to speed up the progress of unifying the Giant world.
His previous experience had proven that his premonition was correct; there was indeed danger.
Moreover, this threat came from a very powerful opponent. If not for the thousands of Giants fighting to the death last time, his cultivation journey might have come to an end.
He did not know what kind of powerful opponent it would be next time, but it would definitely not be weaker than that black dog.
What he could do now was to simultaneously enhance his own cultivation and strength, and as quickly as possible, unify the Giant Realm, organize all Giants, and become the strongest warriors.
As for escaping, he had also considered it.
But running away would not solve the problem.
By staying in the Giant Realm, he could still organize and mobilize the masses, plunging the enemy into a vast ocean of people's war.
If he fled to other worlds, there was still a high probability of being captured by the opponent.
