Chapter 138 The Ancestral Root of the Peach

"Come, fellow Daoists, let me introduce you. This is a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Peaches of Immortality," the Five Elements Ancestor proudly introduced to Xu Qiankun and Wang Shu. "The greatest value of this spiritual root lies in its fruit. This fruit takes ten Yuan Hui to bloom, ten Yuan Hui to bear fruit, and another ten Yuan Hui to ripen."

Yuanhui is a unit of time used by the primordial gods and demons.

One yuan equals twelve hui.

One time is 10,080 years.

One yuan is 129,600 years.

The fruit will bloom, bear fruit, and ripen in ten cycles. It will take nearly 3.6 million years to eat one cycle of this fruit.

"Truly worthy of being the ancestral home of the Peaches of Immortality."

Xu Qiankun couldn't help but take another look at this top-grade innate spiritual root peach. This thing was later divided into thousands of peach trees, and the Renshui peaches among them were still coveted by countless low-ranking immortals and gods.

It is also a treasure of the highest rank in the Heavenly Court.

"This spiritual root produces only eighty-one fruits each time, which is of some benefit even to us Great Luo Golden Immortals."

The Five Elements Ancestor continued his explanation, describing it as somewhat like a child showing off their toys to their friends.

"Young man, go and pick some peaches; I want to enjoy them with my two fellow Daoists."

The Five Elements Ancestor invited Xu Qiankun and Wang Shu to sit cross-legged on a huge stone platform, and then instructed the servants to go and pick the peaches.

"Yes, sir."

The boy in green respectfully agreed, then went to the peach tree, picked thirty peaches, and presented them to Xu Qiankun, Wang Shu, and the Five Elements Ancestor.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Five Elements, I won't stand on ceremony."

Xu Qiankun waved his hand and collected all ten peaches, then took one out and started eating it.

The peaches were incredibly sweet, far more fragrant than any food Xu Qiankun had ever eaten in his past and present lives, including in the world of Swallowed Star.

Moreover, the peaches of immortality contain extremely strong life-origin energy and creative power. This energy is extremely gentle and can be digested and absorbed even by mortals who have not yet become immortals. Furthermore, they contain profound Dao principles and can directly lead to the perfect Golden Immortal realm of Five Qi Gathering at the Origin and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"A single peach is equivalent to a Golden Immortal, which is equivalent to an Eternal True God in the Devouring Stars world."

"Moreover, the Golden Immortals who achieve immortality by consuming these peaches will not have their potential locked up and can continue to cultivate and improve."

Xu Qiankun quickly guessed the approximate effects of the peaches.

"Fellow Daoist, is it that you don't like it?"

Seeing that Xu Qiankun stopped eating after finishing one peach, the Five Elements Ancestor couldn't help but ask.

"These peaches are extremely delicious, but they are of little use to me now, so I want to save them for future generations."

Xu Qiankun explained with a smile.

"I see"

The Five Elements Ancestor nodded in realization. He had been to Taiyi Immortal City and knew that Xu Qiankun had over a hundred Acquired races under his command. He would assume that the descendants he was referring to were these Acquired races.

"Although these peaches are somewhat useful to us Great Luo Golden Immortals, the effect is minimal. Since Fellow Daoist Qiankun needs them, we can pick some more to take with us when you leave."

The Five Elements Ancestor said with a smile.

Peaches of immortality grown from top-grade innate spiritual roots are indeed useful to Great Luo Golden Immortals, but this applies to those below the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortals. For Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak, their only function is to satisfy their appetite.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, fellow Daoist."

Xu Qiankun thanked him with a smile.

The peaches were indeed useful to him. Whether it was Qu Ying or his mother-in-law Jiang Ning, it would be difficult for them to become immortals if they relied on their own cultivation, but with these peaches, it would be different.

Each peach represents an eternal true god.

After eating the peaches, the three began to discuss philosophy.

Although the Five Elements Ancestor was only at the peak of the Great Luo realm, he was still a Chaos God and Demon with a background and had once been a being who had attained the Primordial Chaos realm. Although most of his memories above the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm were stripped away when he was reincarnated into the Primordial World, he no longer had the Great Dao comprehension of the Primordial Chaos realm.

But some fragmented memories are still precious.

In the 130th year since Xu Qiankun and Wang Shu arrived at the Five Elements Cave, the Yin-Yang Ancestor also arrived.

......

"Finally found it! That Qiankun God Lord ran away way too fast!"

Outside the Innate Five Elements Grand Array, the demon king Bo Xun, with four faces and eight arms, teleported over. Sensing the information left by Xu Qiankun and Wang Shu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ordered by the Demon Ancestor Rahu to search for the whereabouts of the God of Heaven and Earth, but he had been following behind him and was left to eat dust. He had been chasing him for tens of thousands of years but had not caught up with him.

"Immediately notify the Demon Ancestor."

Fearing that Xu Qiankun would escape again, Bo Xun retreated to a distance of trillions of miles and informed Rahu of the news.

Half a day later, Rahu teleported over.

"Bo Xun, these are the top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll and the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl, as well as these twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which are equivalent to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Take them to the Lord of Heaven and Earth and trade the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword from Him."

"Should I make the deal?"

Mara's heart pounded wildly.

Although He has already advanced to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, He is, after all, only transformed by the Demon Ancestor Rahu, not a primordial god or demon. His strength is far inferior to that of Slaughter and Destruction, who have the background of Chaos Gods and Demons.

Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth was a powerful innate god-demon who could suppress those two at the same time, and his strength was even greater than that of the Demon Ancestor.

"Don't worry, the Lord of Heaven and Earth won't harm you," Rahu comforted Him. "Moreover, you are the Lord of the Desire Realm, and your true spirit has long been residing in the Desire Realm. As long as I am still here, the Desire Realm will not collapse, and you can be resurrected from the Desire Realm at any time."

"Yes, I obey the Demon Ancestor's command."

Rahu has already said all that, what else can Mara say?

Soon, Bo Xun arrived outside the Five Elements Formation with his innate spiritual treasure and respectfully called out, "Bo Xun, under the command of Demon Ancestor Rahu, requests an audience with the God of Heaven and Earth to discuss important matters."

"Master, there is a man outside who calls himself Bo Xun, claiming to be under the command of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and requests an audience with the God of Heaven and Earth."

A young boy entered the space and reported to the Five Elements Ancestor.

"Marsh?"

The Five Elements Ancestor frowned slightly. Xu Qiankun's face remained expressionless, but he understood that Rahu had come to exchange the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the God-Slaying Spear should be Rahu's greatest reliance.

He can tolerate the loss of the World-Destroying Millstone, and He can tolerate the destruction and slaughter of the two gods and demons He nurtured at great cost, but He will never give up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Let's go see them."

Xu Qiankun stood up with a smile, and Wang Shu followed suit.

"Let's go take a look."

The Five Elements Ancestor got up, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor also decided to go and take a look.

Soon, four innate gods and demons appeared outside the Five Elements Formation. Although they all revealed their innate Dao bodies and did not show their true divine and demonic forms, Mara still couldn't help but swallow hard.

His four faces, which constantly displayed joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, were now replaced by one emotion: fear.

These four before us are all beings like the Demon Ancestor Rahu, but far more powerful than him.

"Marsh, Lord of the Desire Realm under the command of Rahu of the Demon Clan, greets all the venerable ancestors."

Bo Xun immediately bowed respectfully, his expression submissive, showing no trace of the eccentric and domineering nature of the Demon King.

"What business does Rahu have with me?"

Xu Qiankun looked at Bo Xun indifferently and asked, his eyes detached, giving the impression that he was ready to kill the demon at the slightest provocation.

"Initiating the Divine Lord of Heaven and Earth," Bo Xun hurriedly replied, "The Demon Ancestor sent me to bring treasures in exchange for the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Absolute Sword, from you."

As he spoke, Mara took out two treasures: a scroll and two pearls.

Bo Xun explained, "This scroll is called the Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll. It is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It contains a great world that can isolate cause and effect, suppress powerful enemies, and can also be used to cultivate followers and for self-protection."

Xu Qiankun nodded slightly. The top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing a great world within it was indeed a rare treasure, but it was of little use to Him who possessed the Qiankun Great World.

His gaze fell upon the two precious pearls, one yin and one yang.

Upon seeing this, Bo Xun quickly said, "These two are Yin-Yang Pearls. A single pearl is a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and together they are a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

"The Yin-Yang Orb?"

Xu Qiankun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor also showed interest.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasures are extremely precious even to innate gods and demons. However, the Yin-Yang Ancestor was born with the top-grade innate spiritual treasure "Yin-Yang Diagram", and later obtained the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram in the prehistoric world, so he did not crave this pearl too much.

On the contrary, Xu Qiankun had the idea of ​​wanting to obtain the pearl the moment he saw it.

These two precious orbs were formed from fragments of the Chaos Orb and are therefore part of the Chaos Orb.

"To exchange two useless top-grade innate spiritual treasures for the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Severing Sword, two deadly weapons, does Rahu think I'm as foolish as He?"

Xu Qiankun looked at Bo Xun with a calm expression.

Bo Xun quickly lowered his head, took out twelve precious pearls with his other hand, and respectfully said, "These are the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. A single pearl is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, three pearls together are a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and twelve pearls together are a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. The Demon Ancestor is willing to include this treasure in exchange for the Immortal-Trapping Sword and the Immortal-Severing Sword in the hands of the God Lord."

Looking at the twelve precious pearls, Xu Qiankun's eyes flickered, and finally he nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll give Luo Hou this face."

As he spoke, He directly threw out two immortal swords, and then grabbed the three treasures in Mara's hands.

"Fellow Daoist Wangshu, this item is of little use to me, so I'll give it to you for self-defense."

Xu Qiankun directly presented the "Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll" to Wang Shu. He was able to obtain the World-Destroying Millstone, the Blood Sea Flag, the Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll, the Yin-Yang Pearl, and the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls all thanks to Wang Shu.

The Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll has the power to protect one's body, making it perfect for Wang Shu.

Among the innate gods and demons He knew, all of them were incredibly wealthy and protected by innate treasures, except for Wang Shu, who was penniless.

"I won't stand on ceremony since it's a gift from you, fellow Daoist."

Wang Shu hesitated slightly, then finally reached out and took the Mountain and Sea Treasure Scroll, putting it away.

Subsequently, the four innate gods and demons entered the innate five elements formation to continue their discussion, but most of Xu Qiankun's consciousness had already sunk into the Qiankun Great World.

"By integrating these beads into the Qiankun Great World, my strength should be able to continue to improve."
