Demon Emperor's Cave
"Take me to your cave!" Zhou Tong ordered the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon.
The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon roared, and the entire lake seemed to be sliced open by a divine sword. The water on both sides parted, revealing a passage that Zhou Tong could enter, leading directly to its cave.
This underwater cave contains some magical artifacts, cultivation methods of sacred beasts, and even supreme secret techniques for condensing dragon blood and evolving into True Dragon.
Most of these are things left behind by the Demon Emperor back then.
Moreover, these things are the Dao and Dharma that the Demon Emperor obtained when he was young, and they are filled with the Demon Emperor's cultivation philosophy.
Zhou Tong observed very carefully; this was the experience on the path to becoming Demon Emperor, the path of an Supreme Great Emperor.
Having reached Zhou Tong's current level of understanding and insight, most of the scriptures and secret techniques used for cultivation no longer hold his interest. What he truly values most is the journey of a Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor, their thoughts, ideas, and transformations on their path to enlightenment.
Zhou Tong slowly made his way through the cave, eventually arriving at its deepest point.
He stood in front of a stone wall, then pressed his right hand against it with astonishing force, and the stone wall was pushed open, revealing the cave inside.
Suddenly, a burst of radiant light shot out, scattering auspicious colors and bathing the entire cave in a brilliant glow. Fortunately, the cave was protected by a Saint Level array; otherwise, such a rare phenomenon of a treasure's birth would have brought another bloodbath.
"What? There's a cave within a cave?" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon was shocked. It hadn't noticed this place for so long, and even though the cave's owners had changed generation after generation, no one had noticed. It never expected that the newly recognized owner would discover it as soon as he entered.
"The Heavenly Book of the Ancient Demon Clan!" the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon roared, its eyes turning red.
These are nine pieces of ancient Heavenly Jade, each exuding an ancient charm and flowing with the vicissitudes of time, emanating a peaceful and misty aura.
"This is... a part of the Dao and laws of the Chaotic Ancient Era. It turns out that the Dragon Transformation Method created by the Demon Emperor also referenced some techniques from the Chaotic Ancient Era." Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised, but at the same time, he also understood.
In the Chaotic Ancient Era, the law placed the greatest emphasis on the Bloodline Inheritance.
For cultivators of that era, the best aid for cultivation was the Essence Blood of various Pure-blooded Creature.
Where did so many Pure-blooded Creature come from in that era?
In fact, many of them evolved step by step, so each generation has maintained a certain degree of pure blood.
The Demon Emperor found these things and incorporated them into his own Great Dao, creating this extremely terrifying Dragon Transformation Method.
The contents of these nine ancient jade pieces are insightful and insightful.
These are some of the sparks of thought that led the Demon Emperor to his path of enlightenment, and these are truly priceless; they are almost as effective as the scroll of notes that the Azure Emperor left behind in the Yongheng Star Domain.
Zhou Tong observed it very carefully and compared it with the Dao of the Azure Emperor, combining them to comprehend the truth, which benefited him greatly.
He stood there for a long time, finally exhaled, and tossed the nine pieces of ancient jade directly to the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon.
The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon was overjoyed and, without a second thought, immediately began to study and comprehend it.
At that moment, Zhou Tong took out another thing from the table—a box.
Upon opening the box, a vibrant and lively atmosphere immediately greeted me.
This is a heart-shaped seed, dull and lacking luster, its entire body yellowish-brown. Although it lacks divine brilliance, it exudes a powerful vitality.
"The seed of the Peach Divine Medicine..." A hint of joy appeared in Zhou Tong's eyes. This was exactly what Zhou Tong wanted. He had specifically chosen to cultivate in seclusion here, all for this one seed.
Of course, this is not the real Peach Divine Medicine, but the Flat Peach Pit.
The Demon Emperor ate the flesh of the Peach Divine Medicine and left behind this Peach Pit here to bless future generations.
"The Peach Tree in the Jade Pool Holy Land was grown from such a seed. Maybe I can grow one too?" Zhou Tong didn't think much of it. He immediately sat down cross-legged and threw the seed into his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, especially into the part where the Chaos Earth aura was the most concentrated.
Water the Divine Spring.
A moment later, accompanied by a "crack" sound, endless divine light flew out, and a tender green sprout emerged from the seed, growing rapidly.
"It's sprouted... its growth rate is comparable to Immortal Divine Medicine!" Zhou Tong could feel that a special aura was beginning to develop within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.
That was the scent of the Peach Divine Medicine.
Holding any Immortal Divine Medicine for a long time will bring long-term benefits to cultivators.
For example, possessing the True Dragon Divine Medicine can bring a surge of primordial dragon energy, possessing the Bodhi Tree can enhance one's enlightenment, and possessing the Kirin Divine Medicine can bring Auspicious Qi to help cultivators break through realms...
This is also why many Imperial Son and Imperial Son were born near the Immortal Divine Medicine.
Because those Great Emperor Ancient Emperor all hoped that the Immortal Divine Medicine could bring great benefits to their offspring, allowing them to be born with great Fortune.
Naturally, the Peach Divine Medicine also possesses something similar.
Zhou Tong closed his eyes and quietly felt the benefits that this Flat Peach brought to the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.
Although this can only be considered a semi-divine medicine, and the unique aura it brings is much fainter compared to other divine medicines, it still has one more benefit.
"If I'm not mistaken, then the benefit of the Peach Divine Medicine should be the enhancement of cultivation..." Zhou Tong sat cross-legged here for a full half month before he accurately understood what this semi-divine medicine brought him.
To be precise, my cultivation speed might increase slightly in the future.
"What a pity, it's only a demigod medicine." Zhou Tong felt a little regretful.
After all, this wasn't the real Peach Divine Medicine, but merely the seeds left over from eating the Flat Peach. The Peach Tree that was replanted was more than half as weak as the one with the real Peach Divine Medicine.
This slight increase in cultivation speed is negligible and can be ignored.
"According to Jade Pool's experience, the first fruit of this tree is equivalent to half an Immortal Divine Medicine, which can extend one's life by five thousand years, but the subsequent fruits can only extend one's life by a thousand years."
"I wonder if I can carve out a Peach Garden within my Ten Heavenly Caves in the future." Zhou Tong looked at the small sapling, only about one meter tall, within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, and felt a surge of excitement.
If we can get our hands on that real Peach Tree, there's a great chance of success.
That Peach Tree was most likely transformed from the Immortal King of the Immortal Domain, King Pan, after his death.
Zhou Tong remembered that when King Pan was alive, his most famous place was the Peach Garden.
Apart from the mother tree, the fruits of other trees planted from the pits of the Flat Peach are all rare and precious medicines, containing rich Longevity Substance, almost comparable to the Immortal Divine Medicine of today.
"The Peach Garden..." The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more he looked forward to the future.
