Xiao Fei opened the yellow gourd after half a year of seclusion in the space.
Two beams of golden light flew out and were absorbed by the crystal tree beside the Enlightenment Spring, adding two more fist-sized fruits.
The two demon kings that were taken in had already been turned into blood and poured at the base of the Jianmu tree.
The Jianmu tree grew again after absorbing the blood, and the six fruits hanging on the tree also grew by a cycle.
This time, Xiao Fei gave the two Enlightenment Fruits to Fei Xin and Xiao Yue Lao Zu respectively.
After receiving the Enlightenment Fruits, the two returned to the Jianmu world to go into seclusion and break through.
At the same time, Xiao Fei was also using the Qian Yuan Immortal Fruit to heal his soul damage.
He was seriously injured this time, and it took him decades for his soul to begin to recover.
In order to cultivate a clone again, he had no choice but to dismember himself and cultivate seven clones.
It took several hundred more years for his body to fully grow and his soul to recover to its optimal state.
Now that everything was ready, he could begin his breakthrough…
…
In an auction house in an immortal city, Huang Feifei was sitting in a luxurious private room.
A grand auction was underway.
The hall was crowded, and intense bidding was taking place.
The target of their fierce competition was a ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb brought out by Huang Feifei.
This immortal herb was called the Sheng Yang Flower. Xiao Fei had planted a large patch of them in his space, and every time they bloomed, they covered a vast grassland, looking particularly beautiful.
Last time, Huang Feifei and Xiao Fei had wrestled and fought in this sea of flowers, damaging quite a few of the plants.
Afraid of wasting them, Huang Feifei casually picked up a few crushed Sheng Yang Flowers, carried them with her, and planned to deal with them later.
Coincidentally, she encountered an auction today and decided to consign these three Sheng Yang Flowers to test the market prices in this universe.
She never expected that this crushed immortal herb would be so popular, far exceeding her expectations, and that the participating cultivators would fight over it so fiercely.
In their original universe, although the Sheng Yang Flower was considered relatively rare, it was not particularly scarce.
A Sheng Yang Flower like this would sell for around ten thousand immortal stones.
However, this crushed Sheng Yang Flower, with its less-than-perfect condition, had already been bid up to eighty thousand immortal stones in the auction house.
Moreover, the competition had not stopped there, and the price continued to rise.
Finally, it was bought by a woman for one hundred thousand immortal stones.
Huang Feifei had brought out three Sheng Yang Flowers in total, and the remaining two were also bid up to over one hundred thousand immortal stones each.
This left Huang Feifei, who had just arrived, stunned and speechless by the extravagance of the cultivators in this world.
She was not yet familiar with this world and did not know if this universe had too many immortal stones, too few immortal herbs, or if the cultivators here were simply extravagant.
During the subsequent auctions, Huang Feifei gradually began to understand the situation.
At the auction, any treasures like immortal herbs, immortal fruits, or immortal pills appeared infrequently, and their prices were surprisingly high, at least five to fifteen times higher.
However, apart from treasures like immortal herbs, other rare materials like minerals appeared frequently at the auction, and their prices were very cheap.
After the entire auction concluded, Huang Feifei had a general understanding of the characteristics of this universe.
This universe should have many mineral veins, producing all sorts of rare minerals, resulting in an abundance of minerals that were not very valuable.
However, immortal herbs were not well-suited for growth, were scarce, and were very expensive.
Huang Feifei's emotions were a little excited as she walked out of the auction.
Her young master's space was filled with immortal herbs, and the most needed resources like immortal stones were not valuable here.
It seemed that this universe was naturally suited for her young master's survival and development.
Huang Feifei dispersed all the personnel she had brought with her, allowing them to infiltrate this universe silently.
She needed to help her young master weave a vast intelligence network in this universe.
To thoroughly understand this universe for her young master and to pave the way for him.
It would be even better if she could present the entire immortal realm here to her young master upon his emergence from seclusion.
As these intelligence personnel spread out like water, all sorts of information flowed back continuously.
Huang Feifei organized and categorized this intelligence, analyzing the true nature of this universe from it.
The area of this immortal realm should be larger than their original world, and the concentration of immortal energy was at least ten times higher.
According to the intelligence gathered, the concentration of immortal energy in this world was also declining.
However, given the current state of this world, it should be able to last for several million more years under normal circumstances.
This immortal realm also had numerous races, and in the past, there had been constant conflicts and wars among the major races.
However, three million years ago, a human genius emerged. Besides his own unparalleled strength, he also had thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, a total of one hundred and eight great generals under his command.
This genius personally led these one hundred and eight great generals in campaigns, sweeping through other major races, and finally unifying the immortal realm, establishing the dominance of the human race.
Therefore, in this universe, humans were supreme, and all other races had to submit to human rule.
This human genius was now the ruler of the entire immortal realm and even the universe, revered by all beings in the myriad worlds as: "The Supreme, the Ultimate, the Sacred, the Enlightened, the Invincible… Emperor Guiyi."
His honorific title grew longer with each passing period, as any particularly impressive term that came to mind was added.
After more than three million years, even with considerable restraint, over three hundred characters had accumulated.
In formal occasions, the full title had to be recited, often taking up half the time of a speech to respectfully chant the honorific title.
However, in private conversations among acquaintances, everyone referred to him as "Emperor Guiyi."
Now, under the rule of Emperor Guiyi, this universe had formed a complete management system.
It was somewhat similar to a mortal feudal state, where the entire universe, including the immortal realm, was divided into small sections and then enfeoffed to his thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends.
These one hundred and eight individuals managed their respective territories and were solely responsible to "Emperor Guiyi."
Over a long period, the former one hundred and eight great generals had become one hundred and eight feudal lords, each with their own territories and influence.
Huang Feifei discovered that in such an orderly world, the lives of ordinary people were even more difficult.
In the previous universe, ordinary rogue immortals could still find a niche to survive, struggling for existence in the cracks, and might even find some wild resources if they were lucky.
But in this universe, "All the land under heaven is the king's domain; all the people on the shores of the sea are the king's subjects!"
Every corner of the universe, everything, belonged to Emperor Guiyi.
Even if you found a wild immortal herb in the wilderness, you had to hand it in and receive a small reward.
This was because everything in this universe was Emperor Guiyi's wealth.
Only what Emperor Guiyi bestowed upon you truly belonged to you.
Furthermore, all immortals in this immortal realm were registered, and when Emperor Guiyi needed them, no one could escape and everyone had to obey.
Huang Feifei had to give a large amount of immortal herbs to obtain legal identities for her subordinates.
