Successful Cultivation of Second-generation Ren Water Flat Peaches

Han Li approached the peach tree, picked all the flat peaches, and handed them all to Xuan Qing.

"Thank you for saving me. You can have these peaches!"

Xuan Qing did not stand on ceremony. He stored them directly in the Green Lotus of Creation, then took out seven flat peaches and distributed them among everyone.

"These spiritual fruits cannot be preserved by ordinary means. I'll store them for you first. Just come to me whenever you need them. For now, everyone, taste these flat peaches and see how they are."

Several people took the flat peaches and began eating. Xuan Qing took a light bite. These flat peaches were completely different from the Gui Water Spiritual Apricots. Their gentle spiritual power fused into his entire body, and they also somewhat enhanced his comprehension of Laws.

"As expected of Ren Water Flat Peaches—the finest among Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Roots. They are of great help in comprehending Laws."

Xuan Qing sighed after finishing his peach.

Han Xi also finished her flat peach in a few bites, and her Origin strengthened considerably.

"Sis, these flat peaches are very useful to me. Our Origins must complement each other. Then those Gui Water Spiritual Apricots should also be very useful to you."

After Han Xi spoke, she stared at Xuan Qing with wide eyes. The moment he saw that look, he understood and immediately took out the first batch of Gui Water Spiritual Apricots from the Green Lotus of Creation and handed them to Han Li.

Han Li accepted the spiritual apricots and gave Xuan Qing a grateful look. It made his body shudder. That gaze was far too lethal. I should never make eye contact with her again. She was even more seductive than Qing Yue. Were all powerful female cultivators in the Prehistoric Era this outrageous?

Xuan Qing was still calming himself when a surge of breakthrough aura suddenly came from beside him. After eating the flat peach, Bai Yu could no longer suppress his aura. He sat cross-legged, took out the Fire Origin Essence Qing Ya had given him, and began refining it, preparing to break through to the Later Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Seeing that Bai Yu was about to break through, Xuan Qing cast a simple Formation around him to prevent anyone from accidentally interrupting him. Once Bai Yu broke through, even the weakest among them would be at the Later Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Han Li was the transformed Innate Ren Water Essence and had broken through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal through the Law of Water. Because she had been imprisoned for many years, she was still in the Early-stage of Grand Luo, though her realm should have been quite profound.

With that, five of their seven members were Grand Luo Golden Immortals. If such a group went out, it would rival the core lineup of the Three Tribes.

After finishing the flat peaches, everyone finally began examining the Peach Tree. Its aura was far stronger than that of the Gui Water Spiritual Apricot, placing it among the foremost Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Roots. They all began considering how to take it away from West Kunlun.

The Innate Ren Water Flat Peach did not belong to Queen Mother of the West. In his previous life, Han Li might have died, leaving the tree masterless and allowing Queen Mother of the West to obtain it in the end. Now that its original owner was still alive, they could not leave the tree for Queen Mother of the West.

"Han Li, West Kunlun is not suitable for you. A new living being is about to be born, and the Shaoyin Origin has begun suppressing the Water Origin. That will not benefit your cultivation. Come with us!"

Han Li could also sense the power of the Shaoyin Origin coming from the Mountain Peak Hall, and she nodded faintly.

However, the Peach Tree would not be easy to take away. Otherwise, the great Formation would be damaged and greatly weakened. Queen Mother of the West's gestation might encounter problems, and harming a spirit born of heaven and earth would incur Karmic Sin.

Xuan Qing began circling the Peach Tree and observing it. Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Roots could convert Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi. Without the Peach Tree, the spiritual qi here would decline greatly.

If he could find a way to cultivate a Second-generation Peach Tree to replace the Ren Water Flat Peach, taking it away should not cause too much trouble. Fortunately, he had brought enough Three Lights Divine Water. Otherwise, he would not even be able to cultivate a second generation of a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root.

Xuan Qing began discussing matters with Han Li. This time, they had to sever nearly half of the Peach Tree's Origin. Otherwise, West Kunlun's Origin would not allow them to leave safely.

Han Li did not hesitate either. She directly told Xuan Qing to proceed as he wished, while she would fully cooperate to preserve the Ren Water Flat Peach's grade.

With an agreement reached, Xuan Qing used the Green Lotus of Creation to protect the entire Spiritual Root. He directly wrapped its Origin in Three Lights Divine Water and slowly severed portions of the Origin bit by bit. Han Xi also replenished the Peach Tree with Gui Water, while Han Li did her utmost to soothe the tree's spirituality.

The three worked together, and after fifty Kalpas, they finally severed half its Origin. The Peach Tree still fell to the level of a Pseudo Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root, but with the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, restoring it later would not be a problem.

The other half of the Origin could be cultivated to the level of a Pseudo Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root. As long as the original tree did not lose its status, this second-generation tree could never become a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root.

The Han Li sisters began repairing the Peach Tree's Origin, while Xuan Qing used the Three Lights Divine Water and the Law of Creation to cultivate the other half. More than fifty Kalpas passed, and this Spiritual Root finally reached the level of a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Root.

Xuan Qing planted this Second-generation Peach Tree where the original Peach Tree had stood, then took away the original tree. The Formation trembled for a moment, but because the second-generation tree began to function, the Formation soon recovered.

Xuan Qing hurriedly placed the original Peach Tree into the Green Lotus of Creation for nourishment and poured Three Lights Divine Water over it as though it were free. Only after seeing that nothing was wrong with the tree did he relax. He looked at the two women and nodded.

The spiritual qi concentration within the great Formation had indeed dropped considerably, but the impact was not severe. This Spiritual Root could still improve, and by the time Queen Mother of the West was born, it would almost have grown to its limit.

The two women also breathed sighs of relief. This way, Han Li would not lose the Peach Tree.

"Brother, we do not have much Spiritual Root or divine water left. Shouldn't we be heading back soon?"

Han Xi looked at the divine water that was nearly depleted and spoke to Xuan Qing.

"We need to finish planting the Spiritual Roots in West Kunlun and raise the spiritual qi concentration a little. Otherwise, West Kunlun will not agree to let me take the Spirit of the Earth Vein. Taking the Peach Tree away was already a favor."

He had only just dug up a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root, and now he wanted to take the Spirit of the Earth Vein as well. West Kunlun's Origin would certainly not agree.

A hundred Kalpas passed. Bai Yu had long since successfully broken through and was simply waiting for Xuan Qing's arrangements.

"Master, what should we do with this mirror? Should we take it with us?"

Qing Yue played with the Kunlun Mirror in her hand. She did not want to give up a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, especially since she still had no Spiritual Treasure for protection.

"We cannot take this thing. It is the Companion Spiritual Treasure of a living being about to be born. Taking it away would leave you entangled in Karmic Sin. Are you willing to give up the Merit on you? It might not even be enough!"

Although Shichen had also used the Kunlun Mirror, he still did not dare take it away in the end. This showed how important the Spiritual Treasure was to Queen Mother of the West.

"Fine, then Master will have to find me a Spiritual Treasure."

Qing Yue was the only one here without an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Bai Yu's Spiritual Treasure had also been upgraded by Xuan Qing to High-Grade, while Han Li possessed a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Ren Water Sword, with forty-eight Innate Restrictions.

Xuan Qing took the Kunlun Mirror and tossed it into the Great Hall. As soon as the Kunlun Mirror came into contact with Queen Mother of the West's aura, it flew directly above that mass of Origin and began releasing the Law of Time to envelop it.

Xuan Qing took out the Spiritual Roots and gave them to the others, telling them to plant them at the Earth Vein Nodes. He himself went to discuss the matter of the Spirit of the Earth Vein with West Kunlun's Origin.

Under Xuan Qing's various assurances, West Kunlun's Origin ultimately agreed to his actions, provided that the spiritual qi concentration would not decline any further.

Thus, the seven spent more than ten Kalpas collecting West Kunlun's Spirit of the Earth Vein. After storing it in the Heaven and Earth Dao Diagram, they left the great Formation.

The moment they stepped out of the Formation, they encountered several Grand Unity Golden Immortal living beings. They directly blocked the Formation's exit, intending to rob them.

West Kunlun's center had shaken some time ago, and they had assumed a Spiritual Treasure was being born here. They had come together as a group, eventually discovering this great Formation. Unable to break it, they had simply waited outside and blocked the exit.

"Fellow Daoists ahead, West Kunlun is our territory. Hand over what you obtained, or we'll kill every last one of you."

It was a Giant Mastiff in transformed form, though its transformation was incomplete. Its arms still looked like claws as it glared ferociously at Xuan Qing and the others.

Han Li and Qing Yue were also encountering robbers for the first time. These living beings were rather amusing—trying to threaten others without even checking their strength first. Were they hanging themselves from a longevity star's noose and courting death?

Qing Ling also found it amusing and released the pressure of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal toward them.

Thud!

Those people instantly all fell to their knees. Sensing Qing Ling's strength, they immediately began cursing inwardly. How had they provoked a Grand Luo Golden Immortal the moment they arrived? Had they forgotten to check the almanac before leaving home?

"Senior, Senior, spare us! We were only joking. We saw that you were tired and wanted to help you relax!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We were only joking!"

The Giant Mastiff hurriedly changed the subject and began begging for mercy, while the others quickly echoed him. They were terrified that the powerful expert might carelessly scatter their ashes.

"Oh? You are quite professional at admitting defeat. Do you do this often? Why not show me that attitude from earlier again? Let me see just how arrogant you can be."

Qing Ling began teasing them. They were far too amusing, much more entertaining than the living beings she had encountered before. It would be a pity to kill them all at once.

"Senior, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted. You surely will not lower yourself to our level. Please treat us like a fart and let us go. From now on, we will absolutely behave ourselves and never do this again."

The Giant Mastiff began praising Qing Ling again, hoping to earn her forgiveness. This senior was only teasing them and did not seem intent on attacking. As long as this powerful expert was not petty, they would surely survive.

"You are rather interesting. I really cannot bring myself to kill you all at once. How about saying a few more pleasant things? Maybe I'll let you go."

"Senior, you are as beautiful as—"

"Enough, enough. Stop playing, Qing Ling. Ask them about what has happened in the Prehistoric Era. Several thousand Kalpas have passed, and we do not know whether anything major has occurred. The malicious qi of the Prehistoric Era has increased greatly over these past several thousand Kalpas. I wonder whether the Three Tribes have begun fighting."
