After Xiao Fei achieved the status of Earth Immortal, he casually wandered outside without drawing too much attention, then found another place to enter seclusion again.
He still needed to cultivate quietly for a period to stabilize his realm.
Within his space, after this breakthrough, the Creation Jade Disk had absorbed so many spirit stones and immortal stones from him, but it hadn't disappointed him; its area had expanded tenfold.
The tall mountain in the center of the space had grown even taller.
At the summit of the mountain, there was originally only a trace of extremely thin immortal energy, but now it had become slightly more concentrated.
Furthermore, a small sapling had appeared on the mountaintop. Although it was only a little over three inches tall, it still made Xiao Fei inexplicably excited.
The gourd vine that had appeared in the space last time had yielded him a yellow gourd and a golden belt.
He figured that the sapling that had appeared out of nowhere this time would definitely not be simple.
In addition to this sapling, Xiao Fei also found a newly emerged Heavenly Law within the space.
This time, the law he obtained was another one of the Five Elements, the law of "Wood."
He had already obtained the law of "Water" last time, and now he had obtained the law of "Wood."
He had now obtained two of the Five Elements.
Mastering the law of water had given him a profound understanding of water's unpredictability, its flexibility, its ability to overcome the strong with the soft, and so on.
He could also cast water-based spells with ease.
Now that he had obtained the law of "Wood," his comprehension of wood's growth, its resilience, its boundless vitality, and various other characteristics was also gradually deepening.
At this moment, Xiao Fei picked up the yellow gourd.
The Earth Immortals he had collected into the gourd had long since been refined into blood, leaving no residue.
Only that Dao Worm, perhaps due to its immense power, had only been completely refined in the past few days.
Now, the yellow gourd contained half a gourd of blood, which sloshed around when shaken.
Each Earth Immortal had cultivated for at least tens of thousands of years and contained immense energy within their bodies.
Now that they had all been refined into blood, he wondered what use this blood would have.
He wanted to ask Xiao Hei, but unfortunately, Xiao Hei had left on his own after escaping that ruined world last time.
Xiao Fei understood this and did not try to keep him.
He knew that Xiao Hei would be unhappy, even tormented, when he was with him.
Xiao Hei, as a loyal guard dog, even if his master often kicked him, or might even eat his dog meat.
But as a loyal dog, he would never betray his master.
Xiao Hei's descent this time was to complete his master's mission, to go camping... (No, strike that)
His master's mission was to find Xiao Fei, seize the Creation Jade Disk, and bring it back to his master.
Now, not only had he failed to seize the Creation Jade Disk from Xiao Fei, but he had repeatedly betrayed his master and helped Xiao Fei.
A dog cannot serve two masters!
Xiao Hei could not forgive himself and wished he could draw his sword and kill himself.
But he was afraid that if he died, it would be a cheap meal for Xiao Fei.
With his emotions tangled and distressed, he could only leave Xiao Fei, as far away as possible.
With no one to guide him, Xiao Fei had to figure it out himself.
He opened the gourd lid and probed it with his divine sense.
"Huh? What is this?"
His divine sense discovered a round bead floating in the blood.
This bead was about the size of a fist, looked crystal clear, and did not emit any energy fluctuations.
He took the bead out of the gourd and held it in his hand, about to examine it more closely.
Just then, he felt the bead in his hand vibrate with a buzzing sound. Fortunately, he gripped it tightly, otherwise, it might have flown away directly.
"Strange!"
He was certain that this bead was an inanimate object, with no life aura, so why did it want to escape?
In this space, Xiao Fei was the master.
He carefully sensed it with his divine sense and quickly discovered the clue.
That towering Jianmu tree, since its significant growth last time, had grown a branch from its crown.
On the branch, a bean-sized fruit had grown.
Ever since he had taken this bead out of the yellow gourd, this bean-sized fruit had generated a powerful suction.
This immense suction was directed solely at the round bead in his hand, causing the round bead to tremble and almost slip from his grasp.
After discovering this, Xiao Fei no longer obstructed it and let the Jianmu fruit absorb the bead.
In any case, he didn't know what the bead was for, so he might as well see what the Jianmu could do with it.
As soon as he loosened his grip, the bead vibrated again and flew into the air. It flew to the tip of the Jianmu branch and directly turned into a beam of light, disappearing into the bean-sized fruit.
After absorbing the bead, the bean-sized fruit rapidly grew and expanded.
The fruit quickly grew from bean-sized to soybean-sized, then to peanut-sized, and then to walnut-sized...
This fruit continued to grow until it was the size of a fist before it stopped.
Xiao Fei floated in the air, observing the Jianmu fruit with his divine sense. Since it had grown larger, a considerable space had appeared inside the fruit.
"Whoosh!"
With a thought, his body entered this space.
Within the Jianmu fruit's space, a miniature world had already been nurtured, smaller than his current space.
Moreover, this small world contained mountains, rivers, and the five elemental energies of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
It was just that the concentration of spiritual energy was a bit thin. As soon as this thought crossed his mind, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged into this small world.
The small world could actually absorb spiritual energy from the space.
Of course, whether to absorb it or not was entirely within Xiao Fei's control.
Xiao Fei tested it for a long time and found that his control over the small world even surpassed that over his space.
He could freely adjust the concentration of spiritual energy in the small world and even regulate the speed of time flow within it.
The speed of time flow in the small world could not exceed that of his space, meaning it could be at most 120 times faster than the outside world.
The minimum speed of time was synchronized with the outside world.
With this new small world, many things would become much more convenient for Xiao Fei in the future.
Previously, Huang Feifei and Ji Wudi were both in seclusion in his space.
However, due to the excessively fast time flow within the space, if they continued to cultivate there, they would eventually run out of lifespan and die.
He could only temporarily hide them in the demon realm to cultivate, and if needed in the future, he could let them reside in the Jianmu small world.
Furthermore, Xiao Fei had always felt that his space was his exclusive private domain and did not want others to intrude.
Next, Xiao Fei began to transfer the spiritual energy from his space into the Jianmu small world, maintaining a certain concentration of spiritual energy here.
To increase the spiritual energy in the small world, the spiritual energy in his space had dropped significantly, and even the speed of time flow had decreased by several points.
Additionally, he casually scattered a large number of spirit herb seeds throughout the Jianmu small world.
