The Elder of Creation was not satisfied with the performance of the 100,000 strong army on this occasion. They collapsed at the first blow, with more than half dying upon initial contact, having served little purpose.
He did not care about the lives lost, as they were merely expendables.
However, their combat effectiveness was too weak, which he could not accept.
Therefore, after the battle concluded, he ordered Xiao Fei to train another million troops within the Jade of Creation.
"These one million troops must have a cultivation base of at least Immortal Lord realm or higher."
"But currently, there are only a few thousand Immortal Lords in the entire Jade of Creation, less than ten thousand. How can I gather a million?"
Xiao Fei was startled by the Elder of Creation's exorbitant demand. Although the Jade of Creation had a large population, where could he find so many experts at the Immortal Lord realm or above?
"I have my own ways for this matter!"
As the Elder of Creation spoke, a storage bag and a jade slip appeared out of thin air before Xiao Fei.
"The fruits in this storage bag are called Grand Void Purple Spirit Fruits, which can be refined into a Grand Void Purple Spirit Immortal Elixir.
This elixir can assist True Immortals in breaking through to the Immortal Lord realm, and its efficacy is excellent.
This jade slip contains the elixir formula for the Grand Void Purple Spirit Immortal Elixir!"
After leaving the Grand Void Purple Spirit Fruits and the elixir formula, the Elder of Creation vanished.
Xiao Fei opened the storage bag and saw it was filled with reddish-purple fruits, each about the size of a thumb, emitting an alluring fruity aroma.
They looked delicious.
As an alchemist, Xiao Fei had to taste the medicinal ingredients first to test their flavor and properties.
So, he naturally picked up a fruit and popped it into his mouth.
The flesh was soft and juicy, with a sweet and sour taste.
"Delicious!"
Xiao Fei spat out the pit and casually found a spot to plant it.
Since he had completely repaired the Jade of Creation and the two worlds had fully merged, the time within the Jade of Creation should be 365 times that of the outside world, exactly one cycle.
However, he himself had been staying within the Jade of Creation, so the change in time multiplier was useless to him.
The elixir formula provided by the Elder of Creation also included many other immortal herb ingredients, but they could all be found within the Jade of Creation.
For the next period, Xiao Fei spent his days refining immortal elixirs, producing batches of Grand Void Purple Spirit Immortal Elixirs.
He wondered what kind of realm this Elder of Creation possessed, to offer a storage bag full of Grand Void Purple Spirit Fruits and demand a million Immortal Lords. Truly magnificent.
"Fei Fei, here are 100,000 Grand Void Purple Spirit Immortal Elixirs.
Distribute these elixirs and try to allocate them evenly, so that every race and faction can benefit."
"Understood, young master, rest assured!"
Huang Fei Fei took the elixirs and was about to leave when Xiao Fei called her back.
"Fei Fei, wait a moment, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Xiao Fei fell silent for a moment, organizing his thoughts in his mind.
"I'm thinking, if we continue to consume at this rate, the population of our world might not be enough.
Once the population becomes insufficient in the future, even you might not be able to avoid going to the battlefield."
Through their interactions during this period, Xiao Fei had gained a preliminary understanding of the Elder of Creation's character and behavior.
Given his nature, all living beings in this world were merely consumables in his eyes.
Even if everyone in this world died, he would not bat an eye.
When he needed people, he would not care who they were or their relationship with Xiao Fei.
"Fei Fei, go to each world and encourage everyone to have more children. Those who have more offspring will receive rewards."
"Then, distribute resources to everyone, and try to cultivate more experts in the shortest possible time."
He wanted to prepare for the future early, cultivating more personnel as reserves to supplement the consumption.
While this approach was somewhat selfish and cruel, under the Elder of Creation's formidable power, he was forced to resort to it for self-preservation.
Huang Fei Fei understood Xiao Fei's intentions. She took the immortal elixirs and gathered a large quantity of immortal herbs and other resources before entering the Jian Mu world.
In the subsequent period, the Jian Mu world experienced an explosive population growth.
With the elixirs in hand, Huang Fei Fei quickly organized an army of 100,000 Immortal Lords.
Xiao Fei then refined the remaining Grand Void Purple Spirit Fruits into immortal elixirs and handed them all to Huang Fei Fei for her to manage.
One day, Xiao Fei walked to the crystal tree. After such a long time, the corpse that had been thrown in previously had not yet decayed.
However, on the crystal tree, another fruit had grown.
This fruit was very different from the golden fruits that had grown before; it was also crystal clear, like crystal.
As soon as Xiao Fei approached, he sensed a trace of Dao rhythm from the crystal fruit.
The intensity of this aura was completely different from the previous golden fruits.
Xiao Fei sat cross-legged under the tree, his mind already forming a guess.
This crystal-shaped fruit had absorbed some unknown energy from this massive corpse, and then produced the fruit.
This corpse came from the true outside world, not from the world within the Jade of Creation.
The universe within the Jade of Creation, along with all its Great Daos and laws, were all evolved by the Elder of Creation, and thus contained some illusory elements.
But this corpse was different; it came from the outside world, and its Great Daos had no relation to the Elder of Creation.
This meant that the crystal-like fruit before him was the true Dao Enlightenment Fruit.
As Xiao Fei realized this, his gaze towards the fruit became fervent.
At this moment, he desperately wanted to pluck this crystal-like fruit and swallow it in one gulp.
However, after repeated consideration, he dared not act rashly.
How could the Elder of Creation tolerate him stealing such an important Dao Enlightenment Fruit?
Xiao Fei's heart itched with desire but he could not eat it. He could only sit under the tree and carefully sense the Dao rhythm within, hoping for an opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao.
The following period was relatively peaceful. Huang Fei Fei had trained an army of 300,000.
The Elder of Creation took these 300,000 troops out for several battles. The casualties were not too great, with around twenty to thirty thousand deaths.
However, the Elder of Creation's gains seemed to be very abundant as he threw several more corpses into the Jade of Creation.
Certain components from the corpses were absorbed by the crystal tree, which then produced several more crystal fruits.
Xiao Fei diligently comprehended the Dao rhythm within the Dao Enlightenment Fruits every day, and he also gained some insights from it.
As the spirit of the Jade of Creation, as long as the Elder of Creation did not interfere forcefully, he had complete control over everything within the Jade of Creation.
This was something even the Elder of Creation could not achieve; the Elder of Creation could only control the Jade of Creation by manipulating the spirit.
Xiao Fei took advantage of his status as the spirit and often directly channeled a portion of his primordial spirit into the Dao Enlightenment Fruits.
Even a small portion of his primordial spirit, split off, could live, eat, drink, and relieve itself within the Dao Enlightenment Fruits without needing to come out.
To avoid arousing the Elder of Creation's suspicion, Xiao Fei appeared even more respectful and obedient when dealing with him each day.
