Chapter 703: Chapter 462: Top 10 Imperial Guardians!
Hum!
Xu Yang’s body shone with immortal light.
Inside him, numerous rules of Immortal Daoist quickly condensed.
“This…”
Xu Yang looked inward at himself, his face full of disbelief: “This is too exaggerated… I just took one bite of a peach, and 600 Immortal Daoist rules have condensed in my body?”
He looked at the peach in his hand.
It was a Flat Peach.
It was much bigger than ordinary peaches, and he estimated that it would take at least twenty to thirty bites to finish it!
600 per bite?
Did that mean that one Flat Peach would add tens of thousands of Immortal Daoist rules to his cultivation?
It was only after the first bite of the Flat Peach was completely digested and the 600 Immortal Daoist rules had fully condensed in his body that Xu Yang began his second bite.
It took him about half an hour to finish eating one Flat Peach.
The number of Immortal Daoist rules in his body increased by a whopping 18,888!
Xu Yang couldn’t bear to throw away the Flat Peach pit, so he casually tossed it into his storage space.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor laughed and said, “The Flat Peaches in the Heavenly Court are born from the spiritual roots created when the Heavenly Court was established. The peach pits cannot be replanted anywhere outside the Flat Peach Garden. Once they enter the soil, they will rot.”
Seeing his little scheme exposed, Xu Yang wasn’t embarrassed but said, “I just think that this Flat Peach is so magical, and its pit must be extraordinary as well. I plan to take it back and crack it open to eat the core.”
Heavenly Emperor: “…”
This supreme ruler of the three realms was momentarily stunned.
Did the Flat Peach pit… have any special effects?
He didn’t know!
There was a large Flat Peach Garden in the Heavenly Court, and every thousand years, the Heavenly Emperor held a “Flat Peach Banquet.”
On the day of the “Flat Peach Banquet,” the whole Heavenly Court had a grand celebration. The Heavenly Emperor invited guests from the Heavenly Realm, Hell, and other powerhouses to the feast to taste the Flat Peaches.
Many “immortals” in the three realms felt honored to attend the “Flat Peach Banquet.”
For them…
Their cultivation and strength had reached the limit, and it would be difficult to make progress even after thousands or ten thousand years of hard work… But eating Flat Peaches could increase the number of Immortal Daoist rules they had.
Although eating a Flat Peach and adding more than 10,000 Immortal Daoist rules didn’t mean much to these mighty cultivators, it was better than not having any improvements.
Most importantly, all those invited to the “Flat Peach Banquet” by the Heavenly Emperor were major figures. Participating could close the distance between them and expand their connections.
And today…
The Heavenly Emperor took out a total of 10 Flat Peaches to entertain Xu Yang.
Crunch! Crunch!
The Flat Peach was indeed a spiritual object born from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. Apart from its effects, its taste alone was enough to make one feel like they were flying in the celestial realm.
With one bite, the peach was tender and crispy, and its juicy pulp filled his mouth. The unique and indescribable taste swept through his mouth and taste buds in an instant.
After eating three Flat Peaches in quick succession,
Xu Yang’s Immortal Daoist rules increased by more than 50,000, and the total number of rules reached over 80,000. With another Flat Peach, he would be able to break through to the late Heavenly Immortal Realm.
However, he was full after eating three Flat Peaches.
He glanced at the 10 remaining Flat Peaches on the table, raised his hand, and hurriedly put them away, saying, “Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty… But even if I eat all 10 Flat Peaches, I will only reach the late Heavenly Immortal Realm, and my strength and cultivation will not undergo a qualitative change. I’m afraid it is still difficult to exert the full power of the Earth Emperor’s Book.”
“It would be difficult for you to exert the full power of the Earth Emperor’s Book even if you cultivate to Da Luo,” said the Heavenly Emperor as he poured another cup of celestial wine for Xu Yang.
Xu Yang drank it in one gulp.
Immediately, a sense of burning heat rose from within his body, and the immortal light on his body shone once more. In just a short moment, more than 10,000 Immortal Daoist rules condensed.
The Heavenly Emperor introduced, “This celestial wine is brewed by the immortals in the heaven, using 108 spiritual objects from the three realms and the Nine Heavens Fairy Dew as a trigger… Of course, the most precious ingredient is the immortal pill I obtained from the Duobao Heavenly Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens.”
He handed Xu Yang a wine gourd, saying, “This gourd of celestial wine was specially brewed for you. After you drink it, you should be able to step into the Golden Immortal Realm.”
Xu Yang took the wine gourd and found that it was actually a top-grade immortal artifact.
The amount of wine inside wasn’t much, about a barrel’s worth.
But the space inside was huge, enough to contain an entire river, and there were even extremely cold winds and Samadhi True Fire intertwined inside. Once someone was caught in it, even if they were at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they would likely suffer severe damage.
However, upon further thought, it made sense.
The Heavenly Emperor was the supreme being of the three realms. How could the gourd he used to hold wine be ordinary?
Xu Yang put away the gourd and said, “Your Majesty… just my upgrade to the Golden Immortal Realm alone is not enough to change the battle. I heard that there are countless treasures in Your Majesty’s Heavenly Emperor’s Treasury. I wonder if there are any Innate Spirit Treasures that you could bestow upon me, maybe three or five?”
The Heavenly Emperor couldn’t help but laugh, asking in return, “Would you prefer me to dispatch experts to lead heavenly troops and generals to help you sweep the Western Hell?”
“That would be the best.” Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.
However, the Heavenly Emperor shook his head and sighed, “This is a matter of the secular world. How can the Heavenly Court intervene easily? I can send some deities to the mortal realm on a small scale, but if I do anything excessive… it may attract the attention of the heavenly power, and even I might suffer from tribulations.”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yang couldn’t help but change his expression.
Heavenly power…
Heavenly power!
He had heard this phrase many times before.
He thought that the so-called “heavenly power” was just a figure of speech… The Heavenly Emperor was the supreme being in the three realms, so the “heavenly power” should be controlled by him.
