Chapter 431: The Azure and Red Immortal Peaches
Chapter 431: The Azure and Red Immortal Peaches
"It seems that you also wish to venture into the Peach Valley Secret Realm, Fellow Daoist?" Fang Xing smiled slightly. "And you especially want to go with me?"
"Of course..." Wu Qi didn't hide his intentions at all. "You managed to escape the Water and Fire Cage, and you even mastered the Teleportation Technique... As long as we're together, even if we encounter powerful cultivators at the Essence Spirit Realm, we can still escape. Going to the Peach Valley Secret Realm will be even safer..."
These core members were all capable of fighting against Essence Spirit Realm cultivators, but most of their opponents were below the third level of the Essence Spirit Realm.
If they encountered someone at the fourth level or above, the outcome would be hard to predict, and if they met someone at the seventh level or higher, they would most likely face death.
After all, Essence Spirit Realm experts not only had far superior quality and quantity of Essence Energy compared to Mortal Realm cultivators, but their perception of the Dao Principles was often above the fourth level.
If these core members were to advance to the Essence Spirit Realm, they would likely be able to easily match Essence Spirit Realm cultivators at the fifth or sixth level.
However, when facing Essence Spirit Realm cultivators at the seventh level or higher, it would still be a different story.
After all, ordinary solitary cultivators at the Essence Spirit Realm, those from major powers, true disciples who had broken through, and finally, the Essence Spirit Realm Tyrants were all completely different concepts.
"Since that's the case, I'll accompany you, Brother Wu, and give it a try."
Fang Xing nodded.
The 'Peach Valley Secret Realm' was a place exclusively for Mortal Realm cultivators, similar to the Azure Flower Realm.
With his current strength, he was almost fearless.
Even if they were the direct bloodline of a Grand Virtuoso or their favored son, they would only provide a life-saving trump card and not any powerful treasures.
It was similar to the life-saving talisman that Qing Hua Niang Niang had given him.
If they were given treasures that were too powerful, it would only end up ruining them in the end.
True strength ultimately came from growth through real combat.
Just as Fang Xing was about to leave, he was surprised to find himself becoming the center of attention.
Not only were there many Demon Race cultivators, but even Human Race cultivators approached him, all wanting to invite him to complete the Boundless Mountain task together.
After all, his core member-level strength had been confirmed through the practical examination.
These geniuses had their pride and only liked to associate with peers of the same level.
The Teleportation Technique he had displayed was almost considered a top-tier life-saving ability in the Mortal Realm.
As a teammate, his support and escape abilities were astonishing.
With him on the team, they wouldn't even fear a squad of Imperial Weapon heirs from the Azure Emperor Palace.
"Brother Hei Long... My sister, Hu Jiuniang, greets you."
Just as Fang Xing was deep in thought, a Demon Race core member approached him.
She had a pure and innocent appearance, but her figure was completely mismatched, with a fiery body and six thick and wide fox tails swaying in the wind behind her.
"Friend Hu..."
Fang Xing, with his dragon head lowered, greeted her.
After all, they were both demons, and it was better to offer a smile than a hand.
"Have you heard of the Wanhua Mystic Realm? The Ice Spirit Elixir produced there is extremely effective... It's very beneficial for cultivating divine sense." Hu Jiuniang said with a charming gaze.
"Hmm, I've heard a little about it, but unfortunately, I've already promised Wu Qi," Fang Xing regretfully declined. "Next time, if I have the chance, we can go together..."
He had some knowledge about the special products of certain secret realms.
Among them were many rare and precious items.
The Ice Spirit Elixir was one of them.
However, only core members were privy to such benefits.
Ordinary and full members would likely find it difficult even to obtain the qualifications to enter the secret realm.
After declining a few more people, Fang Xing and Wu Qi arranged a time to meet offline and then set off together for the Peach Valley Secret Realm.
...
Qingyuan Great World.
Somewhere.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The ground cracked, and a thousand-meter-long black dragon flew out, its scales black and red, and its body shimmering with starlight. Its powerful blood and physique were so overwhelming that even the surrounding void seemed to crack.
"After sleeping for so many years, it's about time to stretch my body."
Fang Xing stretched his dragon claws and wings, feeling incredibly refreshed.
In the past few years, while his consciousness had been immersed in the Vast Void Illusion, his physical body had dug a hole in a remote wilderness and had been in deep slumber ever since.
"The place where I agreed to meet Wu Qi is still a bit far... But teleporting there will be easy."
Fang Xing nodded, and with a thought, his body shrank to only twenty meters in size, and the terrifying aura of his physique subsided.
Then...
Silver light flashed in the void, and his figure directly entered the Vast Void, followed by the Illusion Layer.
After moving a short distance, Fang Xing returned to the Qingyuan Great World and found that everything had changed.
He was in a valley surrounded by blooming flowers, and there was no one in sight.
"Rise!"
Fang Xing commanded, and a pile of rocks split open, revealing an ancient token.
The token rose into the air and landed in front of him, emitting a radiant glow, and Song Zhong's voice suddenly sounded, "Master..."
"What's the matter recently?" Fang Xing asked casually.
"I've broken through to the Essence Spirit Realm and become an Elder of the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace..." Song Zhong hurriedly explained, "But that Demon Race prince, Fu Shan, is relentlessly pursuing me. He's trying to use various means to suppress me, and now I'm finding it difficult to move within the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace."
"If it weren't for the enmity between the Seven Slaughter Demon Palace and the Shaxu Department, even if he advanced to the Essence Spirit Realm, he would likely face certain death."
"And when facing the entire Azure Emperor Palace, there's no doubt that the Seven Slaughter Demon Palace is at a disadvantage."
"Of course, this is assuming Song Zhong has already advanced to the Essence Spirit Realm."
"Otherwise, who knows, he might have already met an untimely end."
After all, Fang Xing believed that the Azure Emperor Palace must have some hidden spies within the Seven Slaughter Demon Palace.
And the Original Demon Sect must also have similar undercover agents within the Azure Emperor Palace.
As for the Seven Slaughter Demon Palace? That's a different story; their size is too small...
"Fu Shan? Since he wants to die, let's send him to his death..."
Fang Xing spoke, "I know you dare not leave the Seven Slaughter Demon Palace now, but this time, you will go directly to the Peach Valley Secret Realm... and discreetly spread the news."
Boundless Mountain had already been in conflict with the Azure Emperor Palace over the Peach Valley Secret Realm.
The last time, Kunyuan Son, a core member of Boundless Mountain and a prince of the Demon Race, died in the Peach Valley Secret Realm, yet Boundless Mountain did not retaliate.
This time, with the death of another Demon Prince, Boundless Mountain will only applaud!
"Yes!"
As a soul servant, Song Zhong would never refuse any order from Fang Xing. He would only obey, carrying out the orders without hesitation!
...
Fang Xing crushed the communication token, and with a thought, he teleported again.
Outside a giant mountain.
Countless demon apes leaped and played in the forest...
A white ape carrying a pitch-black iron staff suddenly looked up.
A silver light flashed in the void, and a twenty-meter-long black dragon appeared: "Brother Wu..."
"Haha, Brother Black Dragon, your teleportation technique is indeed unparalleled in the world... If I had to travel there, who knows how long it would take."
Wu Qi laughed loudly.
"The Qingyuan Great World is filled with dangers, and many places have special restrictions or barriers..."
Fang Xing shook his head and looked at the giant mountain, his eyes filled with a hint of reverence.
This was the Hundred Ape Mountain where the Heaven-Defying Great Sage resided. The mountain was about nine light-years tall and was a well-known power in the entire Qingyuan Great World. He would have to be a fool to teleport directly inside, as that would be an offense to a Celestial Immortal or Demon Grandmaster—not to mention, it was impossible to teleport into the mountain.
He had only teleported to the outskirts of the mountain, essentially waiting at the entrance to pick someone up.
"Haha... I still need Brother Black Dragon to take me there. Let's go to the Peach Valley Secret Realm together."
Wu Qi seemed to reminisce, "The taste of the Green and Crimson Immortal Peaches, I haven't savored them in a long time... The ones in the Vast Void Illusion are good, but they're still not as good as the real Immortal Peaches."
"Indeed... But the right way is to cultivate Essence Energy. Otherwise, if you rely on external objects to purify your Essence Energy, when you advance to a higher realm, how will you improve, and how will you fall back..."
Wu Qi shook his head.
Fang Xing understood.
The only ways to truly improve the quality of Essence Energy in the world were through bloodlines or cultivation methods.
For example, even now, he still had middle-grade Essence Energy, and there were cultivation methods to achieve immortal-grade Essence Energy in the 'Moment of Time,' but they required cultivation and comprehension...
But with just one Red Immortal Peach, he could almost elevate his Essence Energy to the immortal grade.
However, such Essence Energy, though powerful, was ultimately not cultivated by himself.
Once he breaks through to the Essence Spirit Realm, and the quality and quantity of his Essence Energy surge, the quality of his Essence Energy might drop back to middle-grade.
Of course, middle-grade in the Essence Spirit Realm is stronger than immortal-grade in the Mortal Realm.
To achieve immortal-grade in the Essence Spirit Realm, one must either continue consuming Red Immortal Peaches or elevate their bloodline to the imperial grade or successfully cultivate an immortal-grade cultivation method!
Even so, these Green and Crimson Immortal Peaches are like a blessing after a long drought for many Mortal Realm and Essence Spirit Realm cultivators with average talent and comprehension.
Of course, for core members like Fang Xing, the greatest use is still their delicious taste and the ability to exchange them for many Merit Points.
Even for them, Merit Points are never enough.
Not to mention, after breaking through to the Essence Spirit Realm, if one wants to advance quickly, they will need a large amount of Soul Core Elixir.
The consumption from advancing from the first to the ninth level of the Essence Spirit Realm is astronomical; even Celestial Immortals and Demons would feel the pinch.
Most core members, even after breaking through to the Essence Spirit Realm, rely on their own quiet cultivation.
After all, Essence Spirit Realm powerhouses have a lifespan of ten thousand years, which is more than enough.
Only in special circumstances would they use Soul Core Elixir.
"Brother Wu, let's go."
Fang Xing opened his dragon claws, and the white ape lightly leaped onto them. After paying his respects to the Hundred Ape Mountain, he flicked his tail, and his figure disappeared.
On the Ape Mountain, a giant ape stood silently, watching this scene, seeing off the black dragon...
