In the space, Ji Wudi, after hundreds of years of secluded cultivation, had finally reached his optimal state.
On this day, Xiao Fei, holding a golden fruit, found Ji Wudi who was in seclusion.
"Are you ready?"
Ji Wudi patted his robust chest muscles, making a booming sound to showcase his powerful physique.
"I've been ready for a long time!"
"Can eating this golden fruit help me comprehend the Great Dao? What kind of fruit is this? I've never heard of it before."
Ji Wudi took the golden fruit from Xiao Fei's hand and examined it curiously.
Although he wasn't as knowledgeable as Xiao Fei, he knew how difficult it was to advance from the Immortal Monarch realm to the Golden Immortal realm.
The difficulty of advancement lay not in cultivation, but in comprehending the Great Dao.
Many exceptionally talented individuals, after cultivating to the Immortal Monarch realm, would remain stuck for millions of years, unable to break through that step.
Comprehending the Great Dao was not something that could be determined by willpower, diligent cultivation, or innate talent.
One might cultivate and strive to comprehend for a million years without eating or drinking, only to find themselves still at a standstill, unable to progress.
If they had known about such a fruit that could aid in comprehending the Great Dao, the Immortal Realm would have been abuzz with news.
"This item is called the Dao Comprehension Fruit, and it can help you comprehend the Great Dao!"
"Are there really such treasures that can help comprehend the Great Dao?"
Although Ji Wudi had mentally prepared himself, he still felt a sense of disbelief.
"What's the chance of comprehending the Great Dao after eating this fruit? Fifty percent… is there even a twenty percent chance?"
Ji Wudi felt that a twenty percent chance would be more than enough.
After all, in the entire Immortal Realm, let alone increasing the chance by ten percent, even a fifty percent efficacy would cause a frenzy and lead to great turmoil.
"One hundred percent!"
Xiao Fei said with great confidence.
"Anyone, even a stray cat or dog, can comprehend the Great Dao immediately after eating it."
"There's no point in asking these useless questions. Go back into seclusion, consume this Dao Comprehension Fruit, and break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible. Then we'll go to the Demon Realm to rescue Feifei."
"Alright!"
Ji Wudi's face lit up with joy. He took the Dao Comprehension Fruit and retreated into his secluded cave, sitting cross-legged.
He adjusted his breathing, his mind, his spirit, and the immortal energy within his body, bringing them all to an optimal state.
Only then did he pick up the Dao Comprehension Fruit, open his mouth wide, and directly pop the fruit in.
The Dao Comprehension Fruit dissolved in his mouth, with no discernible immortal power. Instead, a special energy instantly swept through his entire body, cleansing his soul.
At this moment, profound truths of heaven and earth arose in Ji Wudi's mind, as if he had always known them and had suddenly remembered.
Ji Wudi repeatedly felt this profoundness, and a powerful force surged within him…
…
In the chaotic void, a figure suddenly appeared. Judging by his shiny bald head, it was one of Xiao Fei's clones.
Ji Wudi's breakthrough would still take some time, and even after successfully breaking through, he would need to cultivate to stabilize his realm.
Xiao Fei, taking advantage of the available time, quietly came here to find a new body for Ning.
Ning had perished along with the fourth-tier Dao Worm last time. Fortunately, he had left behind a memory crystal, which Xiao Fei could use to revive him.
He had not appeared in this area since escaping from the chaotic void last time.
When he emerged from the void again, the large group of Dao Worms had already left the area.
To find a new body for Ning, the Dao Worm's strength could not be too great, as he couldn't subdue overly powerful ones.
At most, they could be second-tier Dao Worms, which were comparable to the strength of Celestial Immortals.
Now that the myriad worlds of the lower realm had been destroyed, there were many Dao Worms in the chaotic void. Xiao Fei easily found a solitary second-tier Dao Worm.
Relying on his superior strength, he quietly approached and, catching the other party off guard, suddenly absorbed the Dao Worm into his space.
Once inside his space, and with its strength not being superior to his, it was completely at his mercy.
Xiao Fei manipulated the immortal energy within his space to firmly bind the Dao Worm, rendering it immobile.
Only then did he probe the Dao Worm's mind with his divine sense.
This time was different from the last. Previously, the Dao Worm had been transformed from Ning's world.
At that time, it was still in a nascent state, with no memories, and Ning's memories could be directly imprinted upon it.
The Dao Worm before him was already a second-tier Dao Worm, having lived in the chaotic void for countless eons, possessing its own memories and thoughts.
It was a life form with an independent personality and consciousness.
He now had to erase all of this Dao Worm's consciousness, essentially cleaning out the house before Ning could move in.
Xiao Fei's divine sense was infinitely stronger than that of a second-tier Dao Worm, and he easily invaded it.
Then, the Dao Worm's life memories unfolded one by one within his divine sense, as if he were a spectator reliving its entire existence.
Suddenly, Xiao Fei frowned and discovered an interesting piece of information.
As the myriad worlds of the heavens and realms had been destroyed and vanished, the vast number of Dao Worms in the chaotic void had lost their means of sustenance.
Simply put, there were too many Dao Worms and no food.
They wanted to invade the Immortal Realm, but the cultivators there were too powerful and difficult to deal with!
Just as they were all worrying about food, a piece of news spread among the Dao Worms.
It was said that in a very distant place, there were still many worlds that had not been destroyed, which could sustain them for a long time.
As for the source of this news, it was still uncertain. Legend had it that other Dao Worms had come from that direction.
Therefore, these Dao Worms planned to migrate collectively to find new worlds there.
Xiao Fei paused the cleansing of the Dao Worm's soul and copied all the related memory content, recording it in a jade slip.
It seemed that Xuan Tian Dao Zun's guess was likely true; besides their own universe, other universes existed.
He couldn't find a way to leave this universe from the Immortal Realm. Perhaps through the chaotic void, it was connected to other universes.
Then, he continued to clean the Dao Worm's soul.
He repeatedly cleansed its soul with his divine sense dozens of times.
At this point, the second-tier Dao Worm's soul had become a blank slate.
Xiao Fei then took out the crystal containing Ning's complete memories and input all the memory content from the crystal into the Dao Worm's soul.
As soon as the memories were input, Ning was still in a deep sleep.
After waiting for another month, the Dao Worm finally woke up again.
"Brother Xiao!"
"So I didn't die. Brother saved me again?"
Ning felt incredibly fortunate to see his elder brother every time he woke up!
"Ning!"
"It's good that you woke up in time. Don't think too much about it. How does your body feel? Is there anything unusual?"
Xiao Fei walked up to Ning and helped him check his body.
After all, this was his first time performing such a procedure, and he didn't have much experience. He wasn't sure if there would be any loopholes.
