The Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit could increase the probability of a Celestial Immortal breaking through to Immortal Lord.
It was said that consuming one immortal fruit could boost the breakthrough chance by twenty percent.
This was the only such plant in the entire Immortal Realm, a treasure of the human race. All Celestial Immortals of the human race who wished to advance to the Immortal Lord realm eagerly pinned their hopes on this small tree.
Therefore, every time the fruit ripened, there were always several rounds of contention over who would receive it and who wouldn't.
Even if the Palace Master of Yu Xu wanted to grant the spot to Zhang Yi, other Palace Masters or Golden Immortals would object, as they also had disciples and juniors.
In recent years, Zhang Yi had repeatedly rendered great service to the human race, which finally earned him this spot.
Now, after Xiao Fei harvested the fruit, he eyed the remaining fruit tree, strongly desiring to dig it up and transplant it into his space.
However, if he were to do so, appropriating public property for private use would mean offending the entire human race.
It was unlikely that the Profound Heaven Dao Venerable would agree either.
The Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit had no seeds and could not be propagated through them.
Generally, such extremely rare varieties were difficult to propagate; otherwise, there wouldn't be only one plant in the entire world.
Several trees in his space were like this as well, such as the Five Elements Spirit Fruit and the Jianmu, neither of which he had managed to propagate a second tree from.
Xiao Fei squatted beneath the tree, examining it carefully with his immortal sense.
There was no other way; he could only try like this.
With that thought, he formed a blade with his fingers and gently dug away the rocks at the base of the Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit tree, revealing a root.
He carefully cut off and took out this root, then covered the rocks back up.
After taking the root, he was still a bit uneasy, so he cut off a finger-thick branch.
He promptly stored the root and branch in his space, found an empty spot, buried the root in the soil, and inserted the branch.
Cuttings and root planting were two widely used propagation methods.
He hoped these two methods would yield seedlings.
After completing all this, Xiao Fei went to bid farewell to the Profound Heaven Dao Venerable. The Profound Heaven Dao Venerable did not see him again, merely instructing him through the cave mansion's formation to leave on his own.
After descending the mountain, Xiao Fei resumed his identity as Zhang Yi and returned to Morality Peak, preparing for secluded cultivation.
Having successfully obtained the Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit, Zhang Yi intended to break through to the Immortal Lord realm during this period of closed-door cultivation.
After sealing his cave mansion with a formation, he directly returned to his space.
In recent years, the Jianmu in his space had grown much taller and larger.
A new branch had grown at the tip of the treetop.
This was already the fifth branch of the Jianmu, and no fruit had yet appeared at the tip of this branch.
Xiao Fei picked up the yellow-skinned gourd and shook it gently in his hand. The sound of sloshing water came from within.
Having gone through several rounds of intense battles recently, he had collected a large number of demon and fiend corpses.
Apart from some useful refining materials and edible parts, the rest had all been stored in the yellow gourd.
Especially in the last battle between demons, fiends, and Dao worms, he had collected a large number of demon, fiend, and Dao worm corpses.
He had almost filled the yellow gourd.
Xiao Fei walked to the roots of the Jianmu and poured all the blood water from the gourd down.
Then, he saw the Jianmu grow rapidly once more, with a "whoosh."
As the fifth branch at the very top extended, a small fruit began to appear at the tip.
This fruit grew from the size of a green bean to its current size at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly becoming fist-sized.
Xiao Fei's consciousness extended into it. Within the fist-sized fruit, a new world had already formed.
This time, another world was added to the Jianmu tree, marking the Fourth Jianmu World.
However, there was still a crystal bead left in the gourd that he hadn't used. He reached out, and a crystal bead appeared in his hand.
As soon as this bead appeared in his hand, it was immediately absorbed by the Jianmu.
The bead landed on the fruit at the fifth branch.
This fist-sized fruit rapidly expanded once more, eventually growing larger than a human head, reaching a diameter of one foot before finally ceasing its growth.
Xiao Fei entered the Fifth Jianmu World. This was also a complete world, with immortal qi, spiritual qi, mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
However, in such a brand-new world, there was no sound or living beings.
Xiao Fei took out the immortal grass seeds he had accumulated and scattered them randomly everywhere, letting them grow freely.
He now had a general guess in his heart.
The entire universe, including the Immortal Realm and the myriad realms below, would eventually perish.
Especially the myriad realms below, which were already in the process of extinction, and the speed of their demise was increasing.
The immortal qi in the Immortal Realm was also constantly declining, and it too would eventually face extinction.
His Creation Jade Disk, however, was precisely the opposite of the current Immortal Realm cosmic system; it was still in a state of growth.
The space within the Creation Jade Disk was becoming larger, and the immortal qi was becoming more concentrated.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence, an inevitable fate, or if some unseen hand was manipulating all of this.
He had obtained the Jianmu seeds early on and successfully cultivated them to maturity in his space.
New worlds grew from the Jianmu branches, and these worlds also possessed dense spiritual qi and immortal qi, suitable for habitation and cultivation.
His space and the Jianmu were equivalent to a microcosm of the Immortal Realm and the myriad realms.
Furthermore, his yellow gourd could help the Jianmu grow rapidly.
All of this seemed too coincidental!
As long as his space and the Jianmu continued to grow, they would eventually replace the old Immortal Realm cosmic system.
However, the growth of his space and Jianmu also required energy absorption.
As his growth progressed, the energy consumption would increase, which in turn would accelerate the decline of the old Immortal Realm cosmic system.
Once his space and Jianmu successfully replaced the old universe in the future,
Xiao Fei, as the master of the space, would likely become the ruler of this world and the universe.
The thought alone made him tremble with excitement!
There was just one point that he had never quite understood.
Given the immense benefits, why didn't the Profound Heaven Dao Venerable contend for his Creation Jade Disk?
Wouldn't becoming the future ruler of the universe be enjoyable?
He didn't believe the Profound Heaven Dao Venerable's moral awareness was that high.
There must be a reason he didn't know.
Xiao Fei shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about such unanswerable questions.
He walked to the place where the newly planted Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit root and branches were.
As he had guessed, even placing them in his space didn't make them survive.
However, he could still try asking Huang Feifei.
Thus, Xiao Youyi appeared in Jun Tian City, found Huang Feifei, and the two found a secret chamber, closed the door, and brought Huang Feifei into his space.
Huang Feifei had previously only entered Jianmu worlds; this was her first time truly seeing Xiao Fei's space.
When she saw the immortal grasses covering the mountains and the Jianmu towering higher than the mountains, she was so astonished that her mouth hung open.
"Welcome to my world!"
Xiao Fei introduced her grandly.
After all, it was common knowledge in the entire Immortal Realm that he possessed the Creation Jade Disk.
To continue hiding it from those close to him would be like covering his ears while stealing a bell.
"I asked you here today because I need your help with something."
As Xiao Fei spoke, he led Huang Feifei to the nearly withered root and branches of the Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit tree.
