Xiao Fei wandered around the space at will, looking here and there, and before he knew it, he realized something.
Oh my!
His cultivation had broken through again!
He had successfully advanced from the early stage of Body Integration to the middle stage of Body Integration.
Having such excellent aptitude was truly troublesome; he had to be careful and couldn't absorb spiritual energy to his heart's content.
In fact, ever since advancing to the Body Integration stage, his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably, even with his heaven-defying aptitude. But this was only relative.
He couldn't let his cultivation increase limitlessly for a short period; he needed to let it settle for a while.
Most importantly, he needed to accumulate a large amount of spirit stones or origin crystals. If he could get immortal stones like last time, that would be even better.
However, such good fortune as immortal stones was something he could only dream about.
Unless some big shot from the upper realm decided to be foolish and send immortal stones down to him.
Every time he broke through a major realm, the jade disc required a vast amount of resources to repair the cracks on it.
Moreover, as his cultivation grew, the resources needed increased.
It was no longer a matter of him personally being unable to afford it, but rather that the resources of an entire world would not be enough.
If this continued, he didn't know what to do. Perhaps he could only ascend to the immortal realm and use immortal stones to solve this problem.
In the Giant Realm, origin crystals were not found in veins but were scattered across various regions.
Those with good luck could find one or two at home, while those with bad luck might search through mountains and rivers without encountering a single one.
Therefore, if he wanted to collect origin crystals now, he couldn't dig them from the ground. He could only seize all the existing origin crystals in every city.
During this period, Han Yi had led troops to attack and capture many cities, collecting some origin crystals for him, but it was still far from enough.
Fei Yu took over the cities afterward and managed to trick him into acquiring some more, but compared to what he would need for future advancements, it was like a drop in the ocean.
Now, while stabilizing the populace, Fei Yu had also recruited fifty giant soldiers in each city.
After coming out of the space these past few days, Xiao Fei had been patrolling various places. Fei Yu was doing an even better job than himself; wherever he went, the local residents would line the streets to welcome him.
At this moment, he came alone to the front lines of the battle. Han Yi had just led his troops to capture a city.
As many cities had begun to form alliances, Han Yi's task had become more difficult, and several more soldiers had died in this battle.
"Master Xiao, I can now count up to a thousand. I know addition and subtraction within five hundred."
Han Yi walked up to Xiao Fei and said with great pride.
Xiao Fei patted Han Yi's shoulder, feeling quite pleased with his progress.
"Good, good! Keep up the good work. I hope you can learn addition and subtraction within a thousand in the future."
Actually, Xiao Fei couldn't understand the difference between addition and subtraction within one hundred and addition and subtraction within five hundred.
It was so difficult for Han Yi to learn.
Han Yi, receiving Xiao Fei's praise, scratched his head and revealed a shy smile.
"Master Xiao, since I can now calculate addition and subtraction within five hundred, can I lead an army of five hundred people?"
Han Yi remembered that last time, because he could only calculate addition and subtraction within three hundred, he was only allowed to lead two hundred soldiers.
Now that he had improved and learned to calculate larger numbers, his abilities had greatly increased, and he should be able to lead more troops into battle.
"Increasing your troops is no problem, but we need to change some strategies this time."
"You, Da Zhuang, and Du Yan, each lead an army, and advance along three different routes."
"You will be the supreme commander of these three armies."
Upon hearing this, Han Yi froze on the spot, scratching his head vigorously.
With his limited knowledge, it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of situation this was.
He could only vaguely guess that he seemed to have been promoted.
Afterward, Xiao Fei allocated hundreds more people to Da Zhuang and Du Yan. He then led Han Yi to the central army.
The pace of the army's sweep accelerated considerably.
This was because recently, he had faintly sensed a sense of crisis.
It was similar to the situation when that black dog had ambushed him last time.
This way, not only could the pace of unification be accelerated, but he would also always be with the main army.
If he encountered danger, he could still have the giant army wear down the opponent, just like last time.
Meanwhile, in the Tianyuan Realm, within the Desolate Spirit Locking Heaven Great Array of the Southern Wilderness Continent, Xiao Fei, the number one, had just emerged.
Since breaking through to the Body Integration realm, his divine soul had greatly strengthened, allowing him to control four bodies simultaneously.
In order to gather more resources, he had asked Xiao Fei No. 1 in the space to return to the Tianyuan Realm alone.
Over the years, a large amount of rare treasures such as ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs had accumulated in the space, and only by going to the Tianyuan Realm could they be sold at a good price.
Besides selling resources to earn spirit stones, he also wanted to go back and see his second sister and Huang Feifei.
He had been away for a long time, and it was time to go back and see them.
However, the first thing he did after exiting the Desolate Spirit Locking Heaven Great Array was to sense the space with his divine sense.
He found that, as usual, he could use the space freely.
At the same time, in the Giant Realm, Xiao Fei, who was watching his subordinates attack the city on the battlefield, also sensed the space with his divine sense.
He also discovered that the space could still be used normally, just like before.
After years of repeated experiments, he found that utilizing multiple bodies simultaneously could achieve many unexpected things.
The most significant characteristic was that different bodies could share the space from different locations.
Now that two bodies were already in different worlds, separated by such a long distance, they could still share the space.
This gave him a lot of room to maneuver and even play many tricks.
"Hahaha..."
Thinking of the many things he could do with this characteristic, Xiao Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he strode towards the direction of the Howling Moon Ancestor's cave dwelling.
The Howling Moon Ancestor was the first Body Integration stage subordinate Xiao Fei had subdued and was still quite loyal to him.
Now that he had returned, it was time to visit him. When the Howling Moon Ancestor saw two giant corpses, each taller than a mountain, in the distance, he immediately took out a communication talisman and sent it out.
The Howling Moon Ancestor's previous cave dwelling had been destroyed by the giants. After the war in the Tianyuan Realm had completely subsided, he had returned to the Southern Wilderness Continent and rebuilt his cave dwelling.
He had even gone to get two more giant corpses and erected them in front of his cave dwelling to decorate the facade.
"Little dog, come out and see me!"
When the Howling Moon Ancestor received a communication talisman, an extremely familiar voice came from within.
The Howling Moon Ancestor trembled with excitement, immediately leaped up from the ground, opened the cave dwelling's restriction, and went out to meet him.
"Senior! Long time no see, have you been traveling around the world again?"
"Yes! I had nothing to do, so I went to wander around other Great Thousand Worlds."
Upon hearing this, the Howling Moon Ancestor's eyes sparkled with countless tiny stars.
This was the demeanor of a senior expert, traveling freely through the Great Thousand Worlds as if it were his own backyard.
"Senior, your journey must have been arduous. Why not rest for a moment in my cave dwelling?"
"Very well!"
Xiao Fei followed the Howling Moon Ancestor into his cave dwelling. The Howling Moon Ancestor wagged his tail happily and entertained him warmly.
The Howling Moon Ancestor sat in front of Xiao Fei, no longer hiding his identity, revealing his true nature, wagging his tail, slightly sticking out his tongue, and looking at Xiao Fei with curious eyes.
"I have a cultivation technique here that should be suitable for you. Take it and have a look."
Xiao Fei copied a cultivation technique he had obtained from the black dog and casually threw it to the Howling Moon Ancestor.
The Howling Moon Ancestor took it and looked at it with his divine sense, his face filled with shock!
"It's actually... it's actually an immortal ascension cultivation technique!"
At this moment, the stars in his eyes, as he looked at Xiao Fei, were practically bursting out.
Even though he had speculated that this senior was extraordinary before, he now realized that he had still underestimated this senior.
