The numerous powerful figures from the upper realms who had pursued Xiao Fei, following the lingering aura, traced him all the way into the dimensional passage, where they completely lost his presence.
In their rage, the powerful figures destroyed the dimensional passage with a wave of their hands and could only depart unwillingly.
News of Xiao Fei's appearance in the lower realm spread throughout the Immortal Realm, naturally attracting a large contingent of celestial beings from the upper realms.
However, after this reappearance, Xiao Fei vanished as if he had fallen into the sea, his whereabouts completely lost in both the Immortal Realm and the lower realms.
Xiao Fei was now hidden within his own space, with ample food, drink, immortal energy, and immortal stones; he lacked nothing. Unless there was a special circumstance, he had no intention of showing himself again.
This time, it was merely a clone whose cultivation had broken through to the True Immortal realm, and he had emerged from his secluded cave dwelling to stretch his limbs and get some fresh air.
He hadn't expected to encounter a Dao Worm and trigger a series of subsequent events.
Currently, both of Xiao Fei's clones were in the space. One sat by the Enlightenment Spring, comprehending laws.
The other was examining the spoils from this endeavor.
This time, the yellow gourd had captured several dozen Earth Immortals. The wealth they carried was merely trivial to Xiao Fei.
What Xiao Fei truly valued was their physical bodies.
In addition to these Earth Immortals, half of the Dao Worm's body had also been absorbed into the gourd.
The yellow gourd, now in his possession, was indeed somewhat underutilized.
Originally, with the yellow gourd's innate spiritual treasure qualifications, if controlled by a powerful being, it could have easily absorbed an entire Dao Worm into the gourd.
Unfortunately, Xiao Fei was like a child wielding a great saber, unable to unleash the yellow gourd's true might.
Xiao Fei gently stroked the gourd, sensing that the trace of aura left by Little Black on it had not yet completely dissipated, and sighed softly.
His immortal sense penetrated the gourd, and the corpses within had already been refined into blood.
Within the blood, there was also a crystal-like bead.
Indeed, only when a Dao Worm was refined would a crystal bead be produced. This one was slightly smaller than the last.
The previous crystal bead was the size of a fist, while this one was only the size of an egg.
As he took this crystal bead out of the yellow gourd, a powerful suction force emanated from the direction of the Jianmu tree. The crystal bead in his hand flew out directly.
Upon nearing the Jianmu tree, the crystal bead transformed into a point of light and merged into the fruit of the second branch.
This Jianmu fruit, originally the size of a mung bean, rapidly grew and expanded after absorbing the crystal bead, soon reaching the size of an egg.
Xiao Fei flew onto the branch, his immortal sense probing the interior of the fruit. Then, with a thought, he appeared in a newly opened world.
This was another new world formed within a Jianmu fruit. This world was much smaller than the world inhabited by the giant race, and even the sky was very low.
Xiao Fei surmised that this was likely due to only absorbing half of a Dao Worm.
Next, he poured all the blood from the gourd onto the roots of the Jianmu tree. The Jianmu tree, after absorbing this blood, grew rapidly once more.
The first and second branches also grew larger, and the fruits on both branches also increased slightly in size.
Xiao Fei examined the second fruit. Its size had also increased, and the small world within had also expanded somewhat, but it was still far from being comparable to a complete world.
If people were to live in such a small world, they would undoubtedly feel quite stifled and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, he didn't have enough population to move in and inhabit it at the moment.
Leaving it empty felt like a waste.
However, he soon had a bold idea.
Perhaps he could refine this Jianmu fruit into an immortal artifact.
He had now comprehended the laws of space. If he were to refine this fruit, which contained a world, into an immortal artifact.
And then apply spatial divine abilities accordingly, it would surely be like adding wings to a tiger.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fei, without any regret, directly snapped off this fruit, along with a foot-long branch and a few leaves.
After he snapped off a foot of this branch, it still remained over a zhang long.
Xiao Fei looked at the remaining section of the branch, contemplating if he could chop it down for other purposes later.
Next, he rummaged through his belongings, selecting over a hundred types of rare immortal artifact materials.
Most of these rare materials were purchased with the spiritual wine he sold in Qingqiu City last time, and some were salvaged from the corpses of Earth Immortals.
Picking up this branch with the fruit and a large pile of materials, he was about to begin refining.
Previously, Zhu Yu had given him some basic knowledge of artifact refining, and coupled with his own profound foundation in alchemy and artifact refining.
He had also refined the Five Elements Lotus Seeds before. With a period of further comprehension, he should now be able to refine immortal artifacts.
Now, the two clones in his space had clearly defined roles: one comprehended laws, and the other pondered how to refine immortal artifacts.
Time flowed by rapidly. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed in the space.
Today, the clone responsible for artifact refining brought out the Earth Immortal he had captured last time.
This Earth Immortal had comprehended the laws of metal, which Xiao Fei had taken a liking to, and had thus brought him back into the space.
The vitality of Earth Immortals was truly robust. After being confined in the space for tens of thousands of years without a drop of water or a bite of food, he had not yet died.
As long as Xiao Fei released the restriction, he could still be full of vigor and jump around.
Unfortunately, at such a young age, he had taken the wrong path, choosing to become Xiao Fei's enemy – a path of no return.
The enemies who died because they opposed Xiao Fei, if laid end to end, could pave an entire world.
The Skyfire Golden Lotus, transplanted by Xiao Fei into the space, had grown into a sea of flowers spanning over a hundred mu after years of growth and reproduction, presenting a magnificent sight.
At this moment, this vast expanse of Skyfire Golden Lotus withered completely, and its life force flowed back into the underground lotus roots.
After a moment, a massive lotus bud broke through the soil.
Xiao Fei, holding this Earth Immortal, stood guard beside it, quietly observing this scene.
It was a pity that this time he had only captured one Earth Immortal who comprehended the Five Elements laws. It would have been even better if he could have gathered all five elements.
The Lotus King was about to emerge, needing to absorb the Five Elements laws. After being nurtured by the Lotus King, and then re-refining and absorbing these laws, he would become stronger than before.
The Lotus King's bud gradually bloomed, emitting colorful rays of light. The five lotus seeds on the receptacle shone brilliantly.
At this moment, a suction force emanated from the receptacle. Xiao Fei had experienced this once before and was accustomed to it, allowing the Lotus King to absorb his Five Elements laws.
The captured Earth Immortal had tried to resist, but it was futile. The laws of metal he comprehended were also absorbed by the Lotus King, after which he fainted and fell into a coma.
Xiao Fei, having his Five Elements laws absorbed, also felt a slight weakness in his body. He walked over and cut down the Lotus King at its roots.
The underground lotus roots, after this cycle, would go into a long dormancy before sprouting again to begin the next cycle of growth.
He took out the five lotus seeds within. In fact, the remaining receptacle could be used as medicine or for artifact refining. If sold, its price would also be very high.
Refining the Five Elements Lotus Seeds held no difficulty for him. It took him a few years in the space to successfully refine them all.
He finally had another powerful weapon in his hands.
