"Sing..."
A magnificent dragon-horse stood in the air amidst the golden light, its long, dragon-like beard swaying in the wind. Its dragon horns pointed to the sky, and it glanced disdainfully at the Crimson Ghost King in the blood pool. Its body was wreathed in divine fire as it galloped towards the sky.
boom!
The massive pillar of fire exploded after impacting the blood pool, scorching the blood with its intense flames. The Crimson Demon King writhed in the flames, roaring furiously, "I refuse to accept this..."
Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Xu Le did not stop. His eyes gathered lightning, which burst into golden light and pierced through the head of the Crimson Demon King. Without a blood pool to replenish his blood, his soul, along with the souls of the humans he had killed, was annihilated by the flames.
Clang!
A yellowish-brown bead fell to the ground, its yellowish-brown light slowly fading, just like an ordinary glass bead.
The shadow warrior picked up the Earth Spirit Orb and handed it to Xu Le before disappearing in a shadow.
Xu Le was overjoyed, but he remained calm on the surface. He took Zhao Ling'er's hand and used the Earth Spirit Orb's earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique to return to the ground.
Breathing in the fresh air, Xu Le paused for a moment, then settled Zhao Ling'er in the carriage. After arranging for hundreds of shadow warriors to guard her, he gave a few instructions and entered the inner world.
As Xu Le entered his inner world, the Heavenly Dao consciousness sent him a longing message. Naturally, Xu Le was not stingy and buried the Earth Spirit Orb directly into the earth.
Rumble!
The entire continent began to tremble slightly, then more violently, the earth slowly stretched out, the land became fertile, and the mountains gradually rose higher. The mountain god in the distance cried out excitedly, frantically seizing the precious power of the earth without interfering with the other mountains.
The plants on the earth also became vibrant, and their growth rate increased again. Now, the forest coverage in the inner world has reached eighty percent. The rivers have widened, and the creatures seem to have been blessed, running and flying excitedly.
The energy contained within the Earth Spirit Orb is extremely vast; even if one were to absorb it with inner world power, it would take half a month.

Chapter 252: Delicious Food

The land slowly expanded, and as the rich earth elemental energy enlarged the land, a large amount of rich spiritual energy surged into the soil.
Over the years, the amount of spiritual energy gathered in a world is terrifying, not to mention that this world is a world of immortals and heroes, with gods and demons from the six realms. The amount of spiritual energy generated in such a world every day is thousands of times that of the inner world.
The inner world quickly reached its bottleneck. The rich earth spiritual energy could be used as resources for advancement. As long as Xu Le wanted, he could advance the world and push his own realm to the half-immortal realm. After stabilizing it, he could then attempt to break through to the immortal gate.
However, Xu Le instructed the Heavenly Dao consciousness to continue dispersing spiritual energy as nourishment for the continent, mountains, and plants, thereby increasing the world's foundation.
His goal is not to become an immortal at will. Unlike other Qi cultivators who are eager to advance as soon as they obtain treasures due to resource scarcity, he has the Gate of Myriad Realms as his backing. Thousands of worlds are his resource pools. Therefore, his goal is far more than becoming an immortal with earth spiritual energy. He will wait until the five spiritual pearls gather, the core elements of the world condense, and the world's foundation is raised to its highest level, so that he can knock on the gate of immortality in the strongest form.
After a few minor incidents, Xu Le left the inner world and saw Zhao Ling'er leaning against a tree, lost in thought.
"My husband, you're back!"
Leaning against the tree, Zhao Ling'er saw Xu Le appear beside the carriage. Although it seemed that Xu Le had only been setting up the Earth Spirit Orb for a short time, several hours had actually passed. During this time, she realized that her heart was unusually empty after leaving Xu Le, as if she had lost her center, like a bird that had lost its direction, soaring in the air but not knowing where to go.
Xu Le smiled slightly, and his demeanor changed somewhat, gaining a sense of profound virtue, like the earth that bears all things.
Zhao Ling'er also noticed his change, but the intelligent girl didn't ask too many questions. Although she was innocent and naive, she was not ignorant of human relationships. Moreover, her grandmother had taught her that tolerance could keep a man's interest fresh.
Xu Le instructed the shadow warriors to build a campfire and carve wooden blocks into chair shapes for the two to rest. Several lively fresh fish were placed in a basket and handed over to several thin shadow warriors to clean their internal organs, scales, and so on.
With the death of the Crimson Demon King, the corpse energy and poison dissipated completely, and sweet spring water gushed forth from the source of the river once again. After searching for more than ten minutes, several shadow warriors finally found the clearest spring water halfway up the mountain. They filled three buckets, and to prevent the water from losing its sweetness, the Winged Demons transported it back from the sky.
The shadow ninja kept picking up dry branches and throwing them into the campfire to keep the flames burning. Before long, the water in the large golden pot was boiled.
The little fox stealthily bypassed the shadow warrior, its paws, like those wearing white gloves, quietly extending. Its cunning eyes darted around, and finding no one had noticed its "misdeeds," a smug smile appeared on the cute fox's face. It drooled as it looked at the cleaned, tender river fish.
Almost there!
The little fox stretched its paws closer and closer, just centimeters away from touching the fish meat, when suddenly the scenery in its eyes changed, and it suddenly flew into the air, gesturing wildly with its limbs.
"Little brat, stealing food will be punished!"
The little fox felt its neck being lifted, and its head drooped in the air, looking dejected. Suddenly, it heard the voice that terrified it, and its fur stood on end, causing it to shiver.
The little fox was lifted and turned around to face Xu Le. His playful smile sent chills down its spine, but the clever fox quickly begged for mercy: "Waaah..."
"Hahaha, that's funny!" Xu Le couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the little fox's explanation. Zhao Ling'er, who was standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Husband, what's wrong?"
After obtaining the Spirit Pearl, Xu Le's foundation for becoming an immortal became even more solid, and he was in a good mood. He put the little fox down and watched it run into Zhao Ling'er's arms, acting cute and rolling around. He said leisurely, "This little guy said that the fish tempted it to do it. It's all the fish's fault!"
Zhao Ling'er chuckled upon hearing this, patted the little fox's head gently, and said softly, "Since it's the fish's fault, then you won't have to eat it later!"
Although Zhao Ling'er has the appearance of a fairy, she also has a cunning side. She couldn't help but tease the little fox in her arms, which excitedly waved its front paws. Finally, the fox pretended to be dead and lay in Zhao Ling'er's arms, like a salted fish that had suddenly lost its ideals.
Xu Le leaned back in his chair, picked up a glass of juice that the Shadow Warrior had squeezed, and slowly sipped it, mentally controlling the river fish on the cutting board to throw it into the pot.
Boiling water comes into contact with the tender fish meat, instantly cooking the surface and slowly penetrating inwards. The fish's freshness is released into the water through the heat. A large amount of medicinal herbs and seasonings are added one by one according to the precise timing. Before long, the fish soup slowly takes shape, and an enticing aroma spreads outwards, causing the little fox, who was pretending to be dead, to suddenly sit up and look up at the golden pot.
Whoosh whoosh!
A shadowy warrior leaped and tumbled through the air, stepping on tree branches, and landed steadily in front of the large pot, holding a crystal bowl containing a piece of white jade-like tofu.
This is the most famous tofu within a hundred miles. Besides cultivating, Xu Le's favorite pastime is enjoying himself, so he sent a shadow warrior to purchase it for him and inquire about the differences in the manufacturing method so that he could make it himself in the future.
The shadow ninja took the tofu from his companion, carefully holding it with his gloved hand. His ice crystal knife flashed like a butterfly carrying a message, cutting the tofu into dozens of pieces, putting them into the pot, and then covering it with the lid.
The tender fish meat paired with tofu made the soup even more delicious. Before long, a pot of fish soup was ready. The shadowy chef ladled out three bowls, two large bowls and one small bowl, and placed them in front of Xu Le.
