Chapter 289: Chapter 258: The Queen Mother’s Request,
The Divine Flat Peach Tree! 2
Translator: 549690339
As soon as these words were spoken.
Xuanqing was overjoyed and quickly formed a hand seal, raising it above his head, “I… thank the Jade Emperor!”
Hahaha- You take your time cultivating, I’ll be going now!”
With a hearty laugh, the Jade Emperor strode away. With these hundreds of Nine Thousand Years Flat Peaches, even if he ate a dozen peaches a day, it would be enough to tide him over until the next time peaches were distributed.
He waved his sleeve and vanished, taking away hundreds of Nine Thousand Year Flat Peaches but not a single cloud.
After bowing respectfully to see Jade Emperor off,
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.
Originally,
He thought the Jade Emperor, who governed the Three Realms, would be indifferent to everything, treating every creature like straw dogs, and have a bland character.
What he never expected was that the high and mighty Jade Emperor would have such an unknown side.
Perhaps… it’s a return to simplicity?
Anyway, he hadn’t yet reached such a level, so he couldn’t understand what the Jade Emperor and those at his level were like in their daily lives.
As the saying goes, the height you stand determines the landscape you see.
Hehe, let’s continue cultivating!” Xuanqing chuckled softly.
The next moment.
“Use the 9000-Year Time Acceleration!”
[Ding… -900,000 Ingots!]
Moments later.
Dozens of Nine Thousand Year Flat Peaches grew on the tree.
Whoosh-
As the duster swept them up,
Xuanqing opened his mouth and swallowed all these peaches into his belly.
Time slowly passed.
He didn’t know how long it took or how many time accelerations he had used, or how many Nine Thousand Year Flat Peaches he had devoured.
Finally,
The Chaoyuan power in his liver had become extremely dense, and with just one or two more attempts, he would complete the practice of Five Elements Wood Qi Chaoyuan!
“Huff-”
Xuanqing took a deep breath and murmured in his heart,
use the Nine Thousand Year Time Acceleration.”
[Ding… -900,000 Ingots!]
Moments later.
Seeing the dozens of Nine Thousand Year Flat Peaches suspended in the air,
without any hesitation,
Slurp-
Xuanqing opened his mouth wide, swallowing them all into his stomach.
In an instant,
The Ether Wood Essences from dozens of peaches transformed within his body, all absorbed by his liver.
At last!
These Ether Wood Essences, like the final straw breaking the camel’s back, were completely ignited in the liver.
Boom-
An immense life force surged through Xuanqing’s body.
He had broken through.
The Five Elements Wood Qi Chaoyuan power… succeeded!
From Xuanqing’s perspective, this breakthrough was as easy as eating and drinking, and could be described as a natural result.
“Now… I have condensed Gold, Water, and Wood Qi, and only need to achieve
Fire.. Earth… upon completing the practice of Five Qi Chaoyuan, I can step into a higher realm!”
Xuanqing’s eyes sparkled.
As the saying goes, standing at different heights allows you to see different landscapes, and cultivation is the same. Only by reaching higher levels can you experience the thrill of life’s metamorphosis!
“With one day in heaven equal to one year on earth, I wonder how long I have been in closed-door cultivation…” Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
With a thought,
Check Character Panel!
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade]: Taichi True One Immortal Viceroy, Palace Master of Shenzhao Yushu in charge of North and South Departments Affairs (Standard third rank)
[Cultivation]: Integration of Void Stage (Late Stage)
[Cultivation Method]: Food-Qi Decree
[Divine Ability]: Fate Dragon Control Chapter (°°), Heavenly Thirty-six
Methods (Perfection), Five Element Array (Perfection)….
[Ingots]: 5.1..E
Looking at the Character Panel,
Although he had accumulated enough merit for a Standard Second Rank when he acquired peaches for the Jade Emperor earlier, because he hadn’t gone to Lingxiao Bao Hall to be conferred, it still showed Standard Third Rank.
That wasn’t the main point.
The focus was on the ingots.
From the original 1.4 billion, there were now only just over 500 million left, meaning this closed-door cultivation…had consumed a whopping 900 million.
One acceleration only takes 900,000, so 900 million is equivalent to a full 1,000 uses!”
Xuanqing was astounded.
A full 1,000 times…what kind of concept was that?
Keep in mind,
It wasn’t 1,000 peaches, but 1,000 accelerations.
Using a 9000-year time acceleration once would yield approximately forty to fifty flat peaches.
After calculating it,
A total of…about 360,000 to over 400,000 pieces of 9000-year flat peaches were consumed.
Just as Xuanqing was astonished by his own huge consumption,
Suddenly,
Fluctuations appeared in the air, as if a stone was dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples.
An elegant and noble figure stepped out of the ripples.
Queen Mother?
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised and quickly made a respectful salute with his hand, “I, Xuanqing, pay my respects to Her Highness!”
“There’s no need for formalities!
Queen Mother said indifferently.
At this moment,
She looked at Xuanqing up and down with an incredibly complicated gaze.
After the Jade Emperor left before, she did not close the surveillance screen, but kept watching Xuanqing’s cultivation.
Hence,
She saw everything Daoist Xuanqing had done during this time clearly.
From the initial shock…to the numbness afterwards… to the final disbelief…
Unimaginable,
Such a huge emotional fluctuation would appear on a Taohua West True Ten Thousand Mysterious Ancestral Mother who is famous in the Three Realms and rules over the Three Realms’ female immortals.
Daoist Xuanqing, can you continue to use this time acceleration divine power?” the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing was slightly taken aback.
Could it be that the Queen Mother… also wanted him to continue using the time acceleration on this flat peach tree, just like the Jade Emperor?
With this thought,
He planned to agree, as it was undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal for him to befriend the person in front of him with just a few ingots.
“Her Highness, I am still capable of using such a divine power!”
Xuanqing smiled slightly and then asked, “Her Highness, how many batches of Nine Thousand Years Flat Peaches would you like to harvest?”
He still had a total of 500 million left.
Moreover,
After so long in closed-door cultivation, there must have been an accumulation of a large number of ingots in the real world, which cannot be used up.
However,
The Queen Mother shook her head.
Then,
She formed a hand seal with her right hand and softly chanted a few incantations.
In an instant,
The wind and clouds changed,
The Immortal Spirit Qi in the entire Flat Peach Garden seemed to have been poured into a pot of hot oil by a bucket of cold water and instantly exploded.
Humming-
Only a square gate made of white mist appeared floating in the void.
Through this misty gate, one could vaguely see that there was an infinitely vast space inside.
At this scene,
Xuanqing was dumbfounded.
Is there a separate world within the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, which is already a dependent domain of the Heavenly Realm in the Flat Peach Garden?
“Daoist Xuanqing, follow me in!”
Queen Mother said softly, then stepped into the floating gate in the void.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing lightly tapped his toes and quickly followed.
Whoosh-
After passing through the mist gate, the view suddenly became clear.
Before the eyes… it was indeed an infinitely vast plain, with no boundaries in sight.
More importantly,
In this plain, there was an incredibly huge towering tree which couldn’t be seen with the naked eye due to its height being shrouded in cloud and mist.
A tremendous aura emanated from this tall tree.
And judging from the trunk texture of the giant tree, it was actually a… peach tree?
Seeing this scene,
An guess quietly emerged in Xuanqing’s heart.
Subsequently,
The Queen Mother’s words confirmed Xuanqing’s guess, as she said:
“Daoist Xuanqing, this is the true Flat Peach tree… also known as the Flat Peach Divine Tree!”
The Flat Peach Divine Tree?!
Xuanqing suddenly realized,
No wonder,
No wonder the 9000-year-old flat peach tree that he had uploaded in the Flat Peach Garden was only worth 5 million ingots in the store, so it could be redeemed.
Compared to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, which also claims to be one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth and requires a thousand Heavenly Merits, equivalent to too million ingots, for exchange, the difference is simply too huge.
Turns out,
The flat peach trees in the Flat Peach Garden weren’t actually the true Ten Great Spiritual Root flat peach trees, but merely branches at most.
The ‘Flat Peach Divine Tree’ before them was the real flat peach tree among the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth..
