"If I'm not mistaken, the person standing before me now should only be a clone.
Your main divine essence should have completely merged with the Creation Jade Plate, right!"
As Zhu Yu spoke, he gazed intently at Xiao Fei, as if he had anticipated this.
"How did you know?"
Xiao Fei's expression remained calm, like a still ancient well.
But his heart was already in turmoil. Since advancing to the Immortal Lord realm, his divine soul had completely merged with the Creation Jade Plate.
However, this matter had always been kept secret in his heart, never mentioned to anyone.
How could Zhu Yu know?
Zhu Yu once again revealed his signature charming smile, causing Huang Feifei to curse inwardly, "What a flirt!"
"As for how I know, I can't tell you for now. You'll understand eventually!"
"Then... alright! The Ginseng Fruit Tree has just finished bearing a round of fruit, and it will need some time to recover for the next round. You wait for my news!"
Knowing he couldn't extract any more information, Xiao Fei took Huang Feifei and left the mountaintop where Zhu Yu resided.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree in his space had just been harvested, and it would take a long time for the next batch of fruit to mature.
Anyway, his fusion with the Creation Jade Plate wasn't a matter of one or two days, so there was no rush.
Moreover, the Ginseng Fruit Tree had its own growth cycle; his haste would be useless. He just had to wait patiently for the results.
The most important task at hand was to help the human race defeat the Demon Alliance, or at least prevent their extinction.
Additionally, he needed to collect a large amount of blood to promote the growth of Jianmu, so that more and larger Jianmu worlds could be formed.
Besides cultivating Jianmu, he also needed to find ways to earn immortal stones.
With his realm advancement, repairing the Creation Jade Plate required a massive amount of immortal stones. Increasing the time dilation within his space also required a significant amount of immortal stones.
Furthermore, to break through from the Immortal Lord realm to the Golden Immortal realm, he had to comprehend the Great Dao.
He had touched upon it slightly last time, but then lost the feeling entirely.
This was also a task that required meticulous work and patience; some people might never comprehend the Great Dao.
For example, Immortal Lord Bing Huo had spent a million years trying to comprehend it without any success.
With so many threads to untangle, there were many things to do. For now, the war between the human race and the Demon Alliance had to be prioritized.
His Jianmu worlds were growing rapidly under the irrigation of blood, becoming larger and more numerous.
At this moment, Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei had entered the first Jianmu world.
As Jianmu grew naturally, this earliest formed world had expanded considerably.
The spiritual energy concentration within it had reached saturation long ago.
When spiritual energy reaches saturation, any further increase would condense into immortal energy.
The immortal energy concentration in the first Jianmu world was now comparable to some minor grotto-heavens.
"Yuan! Come out and meet us!"
Xiao Fei shouted into the air, and a little girl in a red dress, appearing only a few years old, materialized out of thin air.
"Brother Xiao, Sister Feifei, you've come to see me!"
This adorable, rosy-cheeked little girl was the former Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm.
She was now managing all the Jianmu worlds for Xiao Fei.
"Brother Xiao, this first world has the thinnest immortal energy, and its population capacity is full. We can't take in any more people."
"Now, anyone who reaches the Soul Transformation realm, I'll let them ascend to the second Jianmu world."
Xiao Fei's divine sense spread out to cover the entire world. Indeed, he saw cultivators undergoing tribulation and ascending in many places.
These Soul Transformation cultivators, facing the lightning tribulations, were battered and bruised, desperately trying to fly upwards.
Xiao Fei was a little puzzled.
"Are you a bit addicted to striking people with lightning?"
"Not at all. I'm just giving them a small test. If they can't even pass this test, they'll have to remain in the first world to continue cultivating."
Xiao Fei observed for a while with his divine sense. In this short period, three people had already passed the heavenly tribulation and successfully ascended to the second world.
However, two others were lying on the ground like dead dogs, struck by the tribulation lightning, having failed.
Three out of five, this success rate was quite good.
"The second Jianmu world is more expansive, with a higher concentration of immortal energy and faster cultivation speed.
But we can't just let anyone in; there must be some threshold."
"Alright! Everything is up to you. You decide."
Xiao Fei nodded, handing over the decision-making power to Yuan, who had more experience in this regard.
While the three were talking, they reappeared in the second Jianmu world.
"Once people in the second world cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm, they can enter the third world after passing the lightning tribulation test.
The second world is not yet full, and we can still accommodate quite a few more people. With more people, the chance of discovering outstanding talents increases."
Huang Feifei nodded, indicating that recruitment was underway.
She had been recruiting individuals with good character and aptitude from among ordinary cultivators in the Immortal Realm, and then bringing them into the Jianmu worlds.
After recruitment, they were placed in the second and third worlds for unified training and drilling.
Xiao Fei now saw groups of human soldiers undergoing rigorous training in many parts of this world.
Huang Feifei had invested a great deal of effort in them.
This included abundant resources, as well as the daily education, assessment, and concentrated training of these individuals.
Xiao Fei saw the future hope of the human race in these people.
Currently, the human race was still at a significant disadvantage in their fight against the Demon Alliance.
However, as long as the human race persevered for another hundred or a thousand years, these individuals cultivated in his Jianmu worlds would grow up and be capable of great responsibilities.
Therefore, as long as the human race could endure the current most difficult period, the situation would undoubtedly improve.
"Feifei, we still need to continue recruiting outstanding disciples from the Immortal Realm."
"Also, in a few days, the Jade Void Palace will select one thousand disciples to be sent to the Jianmu worlds for cultivation."
This was also one of the terms of the transaction he had discussed with the Palace Master of Jade Void Palace last time.
Xiao Fei would help the Jade Void Palace cultivate a batch of disciples using the resources of the Jianmu worlds, and in return, the Jade Void Palace would help Xiao Fei collect corpses from the battlefield.
The reason the Jade Void Palace had been recruiting extensively from rogue immortals was because they needed to dispatch a thousand disciples, and feared a shortage of personnel, hence the recruitment of five thousand people.
Of course, as the cooperation deepened, Xiao Fei would be able to help the Jade Void Palace cultivate even more talents in the future.
After spending some time exploring with Huang Feifei, Xiao Fei left the Jianmu worlds and returned to his space.
He picked up his yellow gourd and checked it. The demon corpses he had collected earlier had all turned into blood.
Without hesitation, he poured this blood near the roots of the Jianmu tree.
The Jianmu grew rapidly once again.
After pouring all the blood, he aimed the gourd at a corner.
Here, large quantities of demon corpses were piled up, all collected for him by the disciples of the Jade Void Palace from the battlefield.
