This time, Xiao Fei enlisted Huang Feifei's help and successfully cultivated the Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit tree.
At the same time, he also revealed the true appearance of the Mortal Space to Huang Feifei.
Previously, he had treated the space as his greatest secret, never divulging a single detail to anyone, fearing it would be coveted.
Now, his secret was already known to everyone in the world, and everyone was coveting his Creation Jade Disk.
Instead, Huang Feifei and the others around him were his most steadfast comrades.
The reason why the demon and devil races, along with many other races that had defected to them, were going to war with the human race.
It was because Xuan Tian Dao Zun had hidden Xiao Fei back then, and the Creation Jade Disk had fallen into the hands of the human race.
As the current Immortal Realm was heading towards decline, all the other major races wanted to seize control of the Creation Jade Disk.
In this era of great change, individual strength was insignificant, and he needed more trustworthy helpers.
After visiting the space, Huang Feifei left.
Xiao Fei remained in the space to continue his cultivation.
Although he had obtained the Nine Extremes Profound Origin Fruit this time, which could increase his breakthrough success rate by twenty percent.
However, the damage to his soul in the past had been too severe. After consuming the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit last time, his soul had only recovered partially.
There were still some injuries to his soul that had not fully healed.
These soul injuries would also affect his success rate in breaking through to Immortal Lord, likely reducing it by another twenty to thirty percent.
Currently, the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit tree and the Ginseng Fruit tree in the space had already borne fruit and would be ripe in some time.
When that time came, with the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit in his left hand and the Ginseng Fruit in his right, he would restore his soul to its optimal state before preparing for the breakthrough.
During this waiting period, besides his daily cultivation, he studied various cultivation techniques and ancient texts.
The space had a time dilation of 180 times, and he had four clones. It would be a waste if he only focused on cultivation.
He had already carefully read all the cultivation techniques and ancient texts from the Jade Void Palace.
The Heavenly Demon Palace and the Purple Phoenix Palace, which had been annihilated, also had many ancient texts that eventually fell into Xiao Fei's hands.
Furthermore, the sacred lands and grotto-heavens they had previously swept through also contained many ancient texts, all of which Xiao Fei had brought into the space for study.
After reviewing all the cultivation techniques and ancient texts, and rereading some important ones multiple times.
Xiao Fei had vaguely found some common patterns among the various cultivation methods.
There were thousands upon thousands of cultivation methods in the world, each different, but after becoming familiar with them all, he realized they all stemmed from the same source.
He vaguely felt as if he had grasped something extraordinary.
But when he tried to scrutinize it, it felt like nothing.
It was invisible and intangible, and could not even be described in words, merely a very vague and profound feeling.
This seemed to be the Dao!
The inheritance given to him by Immortal Lord Bing Huo contained some insights about the Dao.
However, Immortal Lord Bing Huo had never truly comprehended the Dao and could not achieve the Golden Immortal realm.
After studying a large number of cultivation techniques and ancient texts, he had actually touched upon a tiny bit of its edge.
He felt that victory was within reach!
For this reason, he had also drunk several barrels of Enlightenment Spring Water and experienced continuous enlightenment for several months, but with little progress.
He always felt it was just out of reach, elusive, and impossible to grasp. When he wanted to give up, he would faintly sense it again.
After toiling for over 300 years, he still had nothing to show for it.
Finally, Xiao Fei had to let it go.
Because the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruits and Ginseng Fruits had ripened.
This time, the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit tree bore a total of eight fruits, which should be enough to heal his soul injuries.
The Ginseng Fruit tree bore fruit for the first time, yielding six fruits, but only three fruits survived until now; the rest had fallen off.
Xiao Fei remembered that Zhu Yu had told him before that he also needed Ginseng Fruits.
At that time, Xiao Fei had promised, and at least one of these three fruits must be reserved for Zhu Yu.
Xiao Fei picked a Ginseng Fruit and held it in his hand.
The fruit was extremely similar in shape to an infant, with a large head, a plump body, hands, and feet.
It was quite cute!
But he held it for a long time and truly couldn't bring himself to take a bite!
He could eat all sorts of demonic beasts, and he often killed people, but he had a psychological barrier to eating humans.
Especially to take a bite out of such a small infant.
Xiao Fei could only constantly remind himself that what was in front of him was just a fruit, not a real person.
He tried to pinch it gently with his fingernail. As expected, it was similar to other fruits, very crisp, and some juice flowed out.
The juice flowing from the wound emitted a unique fragrance that was very appetizing.
Seeing this, his psychological pressure immediately lessened considerably. He pinched it several more times, leaving many fingernail marks, and it finally didn't look so much like a person anymore.
"Crunch!"
He tentatively took a bite. The texture was light and crisp, without residue in the mouth. A fragrant, sweet juice flowed into his oral cavity and down his throat.
"Holy crap! It's so delicious... so..."
The extreme deliciousness left Xiao Fei unable to think of better adjectives for a while.
After finishing one Ginseng Fruit, a long time passed, and Xiao Fei's mouth was still savoring the deliciousness of the Ginseng Fruit.
Unfortunately, there were only three in total, and he still had to leave one for Zhu Yu.
The other one, he planned to share, letting everyone have a taste.
He couldn't eat any more himself.
Xiao Fei lay casually on a patch of grass, a strange power flowing through his entire body, gradually lifting him up, floating in the air.
His soul injuries were rapidly repairing, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Xiao Fei floated in the air like this for several months. As the medicinal properties of the Ginseng Fruit gradually dissipated, he landed on the ground again.
He tried to sense it. His soul injuries had recovered by at least half.
The remaining injuries could be treated with Qian Yuan Immortal Fruits.
The eight Qian Yuan Immortal Fruits harvested this time were all refined into pills, and he took one every few days.
When he had consumed two-thirds of the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit pills, his soul injuries were finally completely healed.
At this moment, Xiao Fei carefully sensed his soul.
With his soul fully recovered, he should be able to split into nine clones.
Nine was the extreme of numbers. Even if his cultivation increased in the future and his soul became stronger, he could at most possess nine clones simultaneously.
He already had four clones, which meant he could add five more clones, requiring the cultivation of five more bodies.
It was time for the limb-severing phase again.
Painful!
Zhang Yi, Jia Ren, and Xiao Youyi, these three clones had identities outside and could not be severed.
Only one clone in the space, which had little presence, was left, so he would sever its limbs.
Xiao Fei had always been ruthless towards himself.
Without any hesitation, he severed the hands and feet of this clone completely, exactly five pairs, which could be used to cultivate five clones.
He placed the five severed limbs into the medicinal liquid separately.
Under the cultivation of the medicinal liquid, the limbs grew rapidly, and in no time, they would regrow into complete bodies.
It had to be said that among these five clones, one was particularly unique, exuding a special, proud aura from the beginning.
Xiao Fei watched the growth of this clone and couldn't help but sigh, this child was destined for great things!
