In the space, Zhang Yi's cultivation has thoroughly stabilized after this period of practice, making him a true Immortal Lord realm powerhouse.
After this advancement, the space expanded tenfold, and the concentration of immortal energy within the space also increased by a level.
The cracks on the Creation Jade Disk within his body were successfully repaired by another fifty to sixty this time, leaving only over two thousand seven hundred cracks remaining on the jade disk.
Seeing the Creation Jade Disk nearing complete repair, Xiao Fei felt a surge of anticipation.
He wondered what the Creation Jade Disk would look like after its full restoration!
Following this advancement, his main primordial spirit had completely merged with the Creation Jade Disk.
He had once attempted to break free from it but found his soul bound within the jade disk, unable to move even an inch despite all his efforts.
Regarding this, he was unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But at least from now on, he and the Creation Jade Disk would prosper or perish together.
After cultivating for a while, Zhang Yi got up and walked around the space at will, inspecting the various treasures within.
The five limbs he had severed last time had all grown into adults through cultivation, and his divine soul had successfully inhabited them. They were now five brand-new avatars.
He noticed that one of the avatars had somewhat abnormal aptitude; it was tall and thin, and also very handsome.
However, this avatar was always bald, unable to grow any hair, appearing shiny and smooth.
This made Xiao Fei a bit melancholic; he, a dignified Immortal Lord realm powerhouse, still had to worry about baldness.
Xiao Fei even gave this particularly unconventional avatar a name: Xiao Tai Diao.
Xiao Tai Diao's cultivation aptitude was extraordinary; in a short time, he had successfully cultivated to the True Immortal realm.
Xiao Fei's judgment was correct; this young man was indeed capable of great things. He planned to entrust him with important responsibilities once he cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal realm.
Zhang Yi patted Xiao Tai Diao's bald head; the texture felt quite good.
On a rock in the space lay the yellow gourd.
The large battle with the demons some time ago had resulted in a vast collection of corpses from the battlefield, all of which had been stored inside the yellow gourd.
After this period of transformation, the corpses had all turned into blood.
Zhang Yi picked up the yellow gourd and walked towards the Jianmu tree.
The Jianmu tree had now grown to span the heavens and earth, its trunk as thick as a mountain.
However, this Jianmu tree had a characteristic: its bark was smooth and delicate, with very few branches. To this day, it had only grown five forked branches.
A tree shaped like this was the most difficult to climb; trying to ascend the trunk offered no purchase.
As he poured the yellow gourd in his hand, the red blood flowed out, seeping into the roots of the tree, causing the Jianmu tree to grow rapidly.
The Jianmu tree normally grew continuously, at a pace similar to other trees. Relative to the Jianmu's massive size, growing three to five zhang would not cause any noticeable change.
Only after absorbing blood water did it exhibit a period of frenzied growth.
At this moment, the Jianmu grew rapidly, and at its crown, a small branch finally sprouted.
However, all the blood water in the gourd had been poured out, and it would take a long time for the sixth branch to bear fruit.
Xiao Fei put away the yellow gourd and walked to the side of the Enlightenment Spring, preparing to draw some Enlightenment Spring water to drink.
"Huh!"
Just then, he turned his head and looked at a patch of sandy ground next to the Enlightenment Spring.
From that patch of ground, a verdant seedling was emerging.
This seedling was only two buds high, three inches tall, and its specific species could not be determined.
But as the master of the space, Xiao Fei was intimately familiar with every plant within it.
This seedling had definitely not germinated from any other plant seeds.
It should be a species naturally nurtured within the space itself.
There were many kinds of treasures between heaven and earth that had no seeds; they were naturally conceived when conditions were met.
There was only one such treasure in an entire world, and it could not be artificially propagated, making its numbers extremely scarce and precious.
For instance, the yellow gourd in his hand was a species naturally nurtured by the space.
After many years, the space had nurtured another seedling. Although he didn't know what it was yet, it was likely no ordinary item.
Xiao Fei could only wait patiently for this seedling to grow to a certain extent before he could determine its species.
To make this seedling grow faster, he would have to increase the time flow speed within the space again.
The time flow within the space had already reached 190 times. Any further increase of one point would require the expenditure of ten million immortal stones.
To reach 200 times the time flow would require one hundred million immortal stones, a colossal sum that made Xiao Fei's mind reel.
Moreover, he was now at the Immortal Lord realm. If he wanted to take another step forward, he would need to prepare at least over one hundred million immortal stones.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei rubbed his head with both hands. He genuinely couldn't figure out where to obtain so many immortal stones.
In the recent past, when a group of them had plundered and ravaged the demon territory, he had only managed to acquire over ten million immortal stones in total.
Super powers like the Jade Void Palace typically had reserves of around ten million immortal stones.
If he wanted to gather enough immortal stones for future advancements, it would be equivalent to robbing over a dozen major powers like the Jade Void Palace.
And this was only to meet his minimum requirements.
For now, he could only take things one step at a time, slowly accumulating immortal stones. If all else failed, he would lead people to rob.
...
Just as Xiao Fei was worrying about earning immortal stones, the myriad worlds in the lower realms were worrying about survival.
In recent years, due to the continuous warfare in the Immortal Realm and the increased consumption of immortal energy, the concentration of spiritual energy in the lower realms had been indirectly affected.
If the decrease in immortal energy in the celestial realm was "1," then in the same period, the spiritual energy in the lower realms would decrease by "100."
The consumption of immortal energy in the Nine Heavens required continuous extraction from the Immortal Realm through formations. As the immortal energy in the Immortal Realm was rapidly depleted, it would then draw upon the spiritual energy of the lower realms for replenishment.
Therefore, the first to suffer were the myriad worlds in the lower realms. One by one, their spiritual energy was exhausted, turning them into deserts.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao of these desolate worlds would fall into dormancy. When the Heavenly Dao awoke again, it would have forgotten its previous identity.
Instead, it would transform into a Dao Worm, constantly devouring other worlds.
At this moment, Zhu Yu stood at the peak of a world. The last trace of spiritual energy in this world had also been depleted.
This world should be the last world in the myriad worlds below to be exhausted.
From now on, there would be no more myriad worlds.
Zhu Yu shook his head with a hint of disappointment, then transformed into a wisp of smoke and flew towards the sky, exiting this world...
