"This place is the site of the High Antiquity ' Heavenly River Military Headquarters,' also known as the Heavenly River Palace."
Li Haokong sighed with a hint of melancholy:
In High Antiquity, a powerful " Heavenly River Navy " was stationed here, responsible for patrolling the Heavenly River and eliminating void demons and Chaos creatures that dared to approach the Heavenly Court. They were renowned for their might.
Its commander, the " Heavenly River War God," is also an extraordinary Hunyuan powerhouse.
Unfortunately, in the High Antiquity war, the Heavenly River Navy was almost completely wiped out, and the God of War disappeared without a trace, so this place gradually became deserted.
After His Majesty re-established the Heavenly Court, everything was in disarray and he had not yet had time to rebuild this place.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, his fingertips brushing against a cold, broken jade pillar, as if he could feel that era of blood and fire.
He sighed softly, "A heart of unwavering loyalty, a Heavenly River of justice—truly admirable and lamentable."
This Heavenly River Palace also demonstrates just how powerful the High Antiquity Heavenly Court was.
There are quite a few experts at the Hunyuan Realm, and their methods are endless.
No wonder it could suppress all the myriad races and have all the immortals pay homage. Only an existence like the Devil Ancestor could defeat it. But even though the Heavenly Court suffered heavy losses, its foundation was still unmatched by any other force.
Even without the Heavenly Emperor, there are still many powerful figures who can awe all around.
Compared to the Heavenly Court, the Human Race's foundation is far inferior.
Of course, this also benefited him; the stronger the Heavenly Court's foundation, the happier Han Xuanji was.
All that accumulated over countless years is now in my possession—how could I not be happy?
Li Haokong nodded silently to the side. Seeing the emotion in Han Xuanji's eyes, his evaluation of this Great Heavenly Venerable rose by three points. Not only was his strength extraordinary, but he was also not a cold-blooded person.
" Great Heavenly Venerable, shall we proceed to the ' Peach of Immortality Garden ' next?"
Li Haokong waited for Han Xuanji to ponder for a moment before quietly asking for instructions.
Han Xuanji snapped out of her thoughts, her gaze returning to calm. "Let's go check out the Peach of Immortality Garden first."
Although the Peach of Immortality from the Peach of Immortality Garden might not be of much use to him, it's still worth a visit.
"Yes, sir."
Li Haokong's spirits lifted. The Peach of Immortality Garden was one of the important tourist attractions he was responsible for hosting guests. If he could satisfy the Great Heavenly Venerable, he would have successfully completed most of his mission.
As you ride the clouds away from the Heavenly River region and pass through layers of celestial clouds and mist, an indescribable expanse of vibrant life and rich fruity fragrance rushes towards you.
Before them appeared a vast garden shrouded in a Chaos light. Through the light, one could vaguely see a peach orchard with gnarled branches like dragons and lush foliage. Amidst the swaying shadows, the orchard was laden with peaches of various sizes and colors, some as white as jade, some as red as fire, and some shrouded in purple qi mist. There were also a few exceptionally tall peach trees whose fruits displayed nine colors and shone with a divine light.
Two armored, composed Peach of Immortality Garden warriors stood guard at the garden gate. Upon seeing Li Haokong and Han Xuanji, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Li Haokong presented the Heavenly Emperor's decree. Although he did not reveal Han Xuanji's identity, the strongmen were not fools and naturally knew that he must be an important figure. They hurriedly opened the garden gate and respectfully welcomed him in.
Upon entering the garden, the rich innate essence of Jia Wood and the vitality of creation almost solidified into a liquid state.
The Peach of Immortality trees are not arranged haphazardly, but rather in accordance with a certain life-giving formation, allowing the Spiritual Qi within the garden to circulate continuously and endlessly.
" Great Heavenly Venerable, this is the Peach of Immortality Garden."
Li Haokong introduced, his tone tinged with pride.
There are a total of 3,600 Peach of Immortality trees in the garden.
The first 1,200 plants have tiny flowers and fruits that ripen once every 3,000 years. They have an excellent taste, and cultivators who eat them can prolong their lives and gain a thousand years of cultivation.
The middle 1,200 plants bear layered flowers and sweet fruit, ripening once every 6,000 years. Not only is the taste superb, but even mortals who eat them can ascend to immortality and live forever. A cultivator who eats one plant gains thousands of years of cultivation.
The latter 1,200 plants, with their purple-veined, yellow-kernel seeds, ripen only once every nine thousand years. They are even more extraordinary; even Daluo Golden Immortal could gain thousands of years of cultivation by eating them, saving countless years of arduous cultivation.
As for those ancient Nine-Colored Ancient Peach of Immortality Tree that sprouted from the mother root, they are even rarer. They require a specific stroke of fortuitous opportunity from heaven and earth to bear fruit, and their miraculous effects... even this humble immortal does not fully understand them."
He pointed to the deepest part of the garden, where Chaos energy swirled and the silhouettes of several ancient trees with dark gold trunks and mysterious Dao patterns were faintly visible.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji nodded silently.
The Heavenly Court's special products are indeed impressive; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to cultivate so many powerful individuals.
This isn't Peach of Immortality Garden; it's clearly a cheat program.
The Peach of Immortality Garden alone is enough to attract many powerful beings. Even if they don't need it, their disciples or relatives might still.
"If it's you, feel free to pick them; His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor won't mind."
Li Haokong, on the other hand, spoke more openly.
Han Xuanji thought for a moment, then stopped and casually picked a six-thousand-year- Peach of Immortality from beside him. It felt warm to the touch and had a wonderful fragrance.
He took a small bite; the juice was incredibly sweet, and a gentle yet powerful life force spread through him—the taste was truly exquisite.
"The taste is acceptable, and it's full of vitality."
Han Xuanji gave a brief evaluation and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Li Haokong smiled and said, "It's good that the Great Heavenly Venerable likes it. Although these Peach of Immortality are of little help to the Great Heavenly Venerable Venerable's cultivation, satisfying one's appetite and nourishing some of one's original vitality is also good."
"You can take more back as a reward for your disciples, or use it as a gift."
There's no need to take anything with you.
All he needs to do is sign in.
He will also build a Peach of Immortality Garden then.
[The 8-star check-in location " Heavenly Court Peach of Immortality Garden " has been detected. Check in now?]
"Check-in."
Han Xuanji silently recited in his heart.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the 8-star check-in location " Heavenly Court Peach of Immortality Garden " and have received one hundred "Nine-Thousand-Year Purple-Veined Yellow-Pit Peach of Immortality ".]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the eight-star check-in location " Heavenly Court Peach of Immortality Garden " and have obtained ten " Nine-Colored Ancient Peach of Immortality Tree ".]
Han Xuanji checked in dozens of times, not only obtaining a large number of Peach of Immortality but also a large number of Peach of Immortality trees, including many Nine-Colored Ancient Peach of Immortality Tree.
As for the Innate Peach of Immortality Tree, Han Xuanji had already obtained one by signing in at the High Heaven Hall, but there were none in the Peach of Immortality Garden.
"Peaches could be given as snacks as rewards to the disciples... and perhaps they'll come in handy for our own banquets in the future."
Han Xuanji pondered to himself that he could also host a Peach of Immortality Banquet someday.
However, there's no need to host a grand banquet like the Heavenly Court.
Seeing that Han Xuanji didn't seem to intend to stay any longer, Li Haokong promptly asked:
"Next, shall we proceed to the Tushita Palace?"
I've heard that the Great Heavenly Venerable is also Dao of Alchemy. Although the Supreme Dao Venerable has not returned, the Dao of Alchemy of Venerable Xuandu is also extraordinary.
"Can."
Han Xuanji nodded; he had been looking forward to the Tushita Palace for a long time.
This is the ancient abode of Dao Venerable, and its Daoist essence is undoubtedly among the best in the entire Heavenly Court.
After leaving the Peach of Immortality Garden, the two headed towards the Tushita Palace. The Tushita Palace was not actually located in the Ninth Heaven where the Heavenly Court was located, but in another space. The Heavenly Court could be reached directly through a teleportation array.
