In the cave dwelling of the Xuan Tian Dao Venerable, a special guest arrived today, Zhu Yu.
The two seemed to have known each other for many years, now sitting opposite each other with a chessboard between them.
"The missing parts of your divine soul seem to have repaired a lot!"
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable's immortal sense swept over Zhu Yu inadvertently, and he discovered the difference.
"Mm! I ate a ginseng fruit a while ago, and I'm much better!"
Zhu Yu placed a piece and replied casually.
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable also placed a piece, casually moving one of Zhu Yu's pieces.
"Alas! Although you have successfully broken free from your restraints, the price you paid is too great.
You know, many people would give their lives to obtain this treasure, yet you discard it like worn-out shoes."
Zhu Yu, however, was unconcerned.
"Treasures are good, but they are not what I desire.
To gain freedom, some price is worth paying.
Only by discarding shackles can one be free to come and go, surpass oneself, surpass the universe; when heaven and earth decay, I shall not perish."
Even Xuan Tian Dao Venerable admired Zhu Yu's detachment and courage.
"You should recover your strength quickly; the human race is having a very difficult time now.
The human race has only a dozen or so Golden Immortals in total, but the Demon-Monster Alliance has over forty Golden Immortals. We are always at a disadvantage at this level, constantly being suppressed. One person even died in battle recently."
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable sighed deeply as he spoke.
The current war was more pressure than a mountain, and even he was often beaten by two powerful experts from the demon-monster side.
"My divine soul is still incomplete and needs more time.
If you have any ginseng fruits, giving me a few would help me recover quickly."
"Where would I find such a thing for you? You should look for Xiao Fei and see if he has such a treasure."
"He doesn't have any either!"
Zhu Yu shook his head and continued to place a piece...
....................
Since Xiao Fei's full cooperation with Yu Xu Palace, many new changes have gradually appeared on the human side.
Firstly, Xiao Fei's forces have fully entered the war.
His giant army has long been legendary on the battlefield. Wherever they went, the demon-monsters could only sigh in despair, yet were helpless.
In addition to the giant army, the humans and demons living in his spatial realm have also cultivated many powerful individuals over the years, and they have now all been deployed to the battlefield.
Furthermore, Huang Feifei has been continuously recruiting personnel in the Immortal Realm and sending them to the Jianmu world for training.
With the boost of 190 times the time flow and abundant resources, these humans have rapidly grown into powerful combat forces.
On the other side, after recruiting the first batch of 5,000 loose immortals, Yu Xu Palace has recruited several more batches.
They then selected the most outstanding individuals and sent them to Xiao Fei's Jianmu world for cultivation.
The Jianmu world is rich in immortal energy, and time flows 190 times faster than in the outside world. Ten years outside is equivalent to nearly two thousand years of cultivation inside.
In a short period, the human race's strength has grown rapidly, with a large number of True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals emerging.
All these experts have been deployed to the battlefield, gradually changing the tide of the war.
Upon seeing the significant changes in Yu Xu Palace, other major human forces have also come forward, seeking cooperation with Xiao Fei, Jia Ren, Huang Feifei, or Xiao Youyi.
Xiao Fei welcomed all of them without refusal.
At the same time, the various forces sent the corpses of demon-monsters they collected to Xiao Fei.
Nurtured by a large amount of blood, the Jianmu in the spatial realm grew at an extremely fast pace, changing its appearance almost daily.
Now, on the sixth branch at the top of the tree, a fist-sized fruit has finally formed, and within this fruit, the fifth Jianmu world is taking shape.
Previously, each Jianmu world was formed from crystals refined by Dao insects.
However, this time, the Jianmu world has formed naturally due to the growth of the Jianmu, with the Jianmu fruit growing alongside it.
This is the fifth Jianmu world, located at the very top of the Jianmu. Although its area is not large yet, its immortal energy is the most concentrated.
Xiao Fei has already had his trusted subordinates move into the fifth Jianmu world.
The third Jianmu world is now comparable to a Ninth Heaven, inhabited by a large number of immortals.
Currently, the Creation Jade Plate's cooperation with the major human forces has formed a virtuous cycle.
Xiao Fei provides them with various cultivation resources and helps the human race train cultivators.
The cultivators trained then go to the battlefield to kill demon-monsters, bringing back their corpses to serve as fertilizer for the Jianmu's growth.
With this development, the human race's strength has not weakened but has instead grown stronger amidst the arduous war.
Conversely, the Demon-Monster Alliance, despite their significant advantage and having suppressed the human race in the early stages, making it difficult for them to even stand up, are experiencing a decline in their overall strength.
For every pill consumed or powerful warrior lost in battle, replenishment is not immediate.
Both immortal herbs and powerful individuals require a long time to cultivate, and each loss depletes their resources.
Therefore, although the Demon-Monster Alliance has achieved continuous victories on the battlefield, their strength has been steadily declining.
With this shift in power, after enduring the most difficult battles in the early stages, the human race has gradually stabilized its footing.
Another thousand years of war passed, and the human race produced a multitude of powerful individuals, beginning to gain the upper hand on the battlefield.
Another thousand years passed, and the number of human powerhouses far surpassed that of the Demon-Monster Alliance. Many human cultivators proposed a full-scale counteroffensive.
However, the high-level powerhouses of the human race consistently disagreed with a large-scale counteroffensive.
One day, Zhang Yi, while paying respects to the Palace Master of Yu Xu Palace, could not help but ask.
"Master, when can we counterattack the Demon-Monster Alliance?"
The Palace Master of Yu Xu Palace heard this and showed a troubled expression, shaking his head.
"You may not know, but although we currently have a great advantage in combat and our strength far surpasses the Demon-Monster Alliance, in reality, our overall strength is still a significant gap behind the Demon-Monster Alliance."
