Chapter 101 The Fruits of the Immortal Peach
Having attained Taiyi, Xuanyao was not in a hurry to leave the seclusion.
Taiyi Golden Immortal is a great realm where one can create one's own world.
When the Five Elements converge and the power of magic increases rapidly, if one does not take this opportunity to refine it carefully, one's foundation will inevitably become weak and unstable in the future.
He remained seated on the white jade platform, his eyes slightly closed, his mind immersed in the nascent Five Elements microcosm within his body.
Between the chest and abdomen, one can see the earth element is heavy and thick, the Geng metal is solemn and dignified, the Ren water is deep and secluded, the wood virtue is colorful, and the southern fire and red gold are like the sunset.
The five-colored light cycled and merged with each other, yet each remained in its own place.
With each cycle of the heavens, the Taiyi magical power that had just surged solidified one more unit.
Within the sea of consciousness, the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Guardian Generals stood quietly, with the Water and Fire Dao Wheels slowly rotating behind their heads.
All the restlessness and impurities that arise after breaking through a certain realm are gradually worn away by the Dao Wheel, transforming into clarity.
Time stands still in the mountains; one is unaware of the changing seasons.
Such meticulous work has taken hundreds of years.
After several hundred years, the vast and boundless Taiyi magical power within Xuan Yao's body was finally completely refined and perfected.
The five vital energies flow continuously within the chest, without any stagnation.
Xuan Yao slowly opened his eyes.
Within the dark golden tiger's eyes, a flash of five-colored divine light appeared and then disappeared, returning to deep stillness.
With a slight thought, he gathered all the Taiyi Qi in his body.
The five-colored glow that once filled the cold pool and secluded chamber receded like the tide, and the white jade walls once again revealed their serene beauty.
Xuan Yao exhaled a breath of turbid air before turning his gaze to the white jade platform.
On the stone platform, the Yin-Yang Divine Egg brought back from the Undying Volcano rests quietly.
Xuan Yao looked closely and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
It is unknown when it began, but this divine egg, which was originally in constant conflict between Yin and Yang and was always restless, has begun to change.
Outside the eggshell, a soft black and white Tai Chi halo flowed like water, enveloping the entire divine egg.
The black and white energies are connected end to end, repeating endlessly, and the previous signs of strife and conflict are no longer visible. Instead, they reveal a harmonious and natural Daoist charm.
After a moment's thought, Xuan Yao understood the reason.
To the left of this place is a fire-flowering phoenix tree, and to the right is a branch of a peach tree. The combination of fire and water creates a harmonious balance.
Furthermore, after he secluded himself for hundreds of years, the five elements of Taiyi overflowed, and the pure light of Fude nourished him day and night. With such good fortune, the divine egg gradually straightened out its innate yin and yang essence, and began to truly nurture that innate spiritual embryo.
However, what surprised Xuan Yao even more was not this divine egg.
His gaze passed over the black and white yin-yang halo and landed on the peach branch on the right side of the stone platform.
This branch was bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West and originated from a top-grade innate Ren-water peach tree.
Since it was planted in Qinghei Mountain, although it has been nourished by the mysterious yin water and the pure virtuous energy, and its branches and leaves have flourished, it has only grown branches and leaves and has never produced flowers and fruits.
Xuan Yao originally thought that since this branch was separated from the mother tree in Yaochi Wonderland, it lacked vitality. It was already rare enough that it could suppress the water veins and nourish the cave. He never really expected it to bloom and bear fruit.
But now, this branch of the peach tree, which is only about ten feet tall, looks quite different.
Amidst the verdant leaves, several pale pink flower buds have emerged without anyone noticing.
The flower buds are adorned with the pure light of the innate Ren water and the auspicious energy of good fortune, exuding a subtle fragrance that permeates the heart and soul.
Several flower buds had already withered, their pink and white petals falling onto the white jade platform, untouched by dust, before dissipating as wisps of pure spiritual energy.
Where the flower stem had fallen off, seven or eight unripe peaches, each the size of a thumb, had unexpectedly appeared.
These small peaches shimmered with a pale blue light, their skin covered in fine fuzz. Though not yet ripe, they already contained extremely pure innate water essence, faintly displaying signs of spiritual energy.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Yao's heart was also stirred.
He immediately activated the Taiyi Dao Fruit, closed his eyes, and deduced the key to this creation in his spiritual platform.
The Peach Blossom Branch was originally a branch of the top-grade innate Ren Water spiritual root, with extraordinary roots.
The reason it has been slow to bloom and bear fruit is not because Qingheishan lacks spiritual energy, but because it is far from the magical creation of heaven and earth, like Yaochi, and lacks the opportunity to stimulate life.
And this Yin-Yang Divine Egg perfectly filled that gap.
The divine egg contains the innate Yin-Yang essence of the direct lineage of the Primordial Phoenix.
Yin and Yang are the two energies that are the root of the generation and evolution of all things.
For tens of thousands of years, the divine egg has been breathing in spiritual energy on the white jade platform, and the innate yin and yang energy it emits is like spring rain, silently permeating the surroundings day and night.
This force of Yin and Yang creation combines with the innate essence of Ren water in the peach branch itself, resulting in the interaction of Yin and Yang and the mutual generation of water and wood.
Furthermore, the Taiyi Five Qi and the Pure Light of Fortune that overflowed when Xuan Yao broke through the realm nourished him from the side, which broke through the shackles and spurred the branch to bloom and bear fruit.
This event may seem accidental, but it is actually the result of a confluence of factors, none of which could be missing.
Xuan Yao stood up and slowly walked to the branch of the peach tree. He used his Purple Mansion Dharma Eye to carefully examine the few unripe immortal fruits.
Under the discerning eye, one could see the essence of Ren water within the peach as fine as silk threads, with pure and flawless Qi flowing within, its spiritual energy contained within.
Xuan Yao secretly made his assessment.
These peaches were, after all, only grown on secondary branches and were the first fruits of their kind.
In terms of medicinal efficacy, it is naturally far inferior to the top-grade Renshui peaches grown by the mother tree deep in the Yaochi of Xikunlun.
Even so, they are genuine innate spiritual fruits.
From Xuan Yao's perspective as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, once these unripe peaches are fully ripe, the power of creation and the ability to prolong life contained within them will certainly be extraordinary.
In terms of quality, it is at least no less than the top-grade peaches with purple-veined pits that ripen once every nine thousand years in the Heavenly Peach Garden.
If any mortal being were to obtain a single sip, they could shed their mortal form, prolong their lifespan, and become almost as old as the sun and moon.
Even a Golden Immortal cultivator can save a lot of arduous cultivation by consuming it, and it can also cleanse the physical body and solidify the foundation of the Dao.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yao couldn't help but feel a little happy.
He is now the master of the mountain, and the number of disciples under Qinghei Mountain is gradually increasing, while the creatures that have come to rely on him are also becoming more and more numerous.
As a high-ranking official, if he doesn't have a few impressive spiritual items to bestow as rewards, he will ultimately appear to have a weak foundation.
Once these seven or eight peaches ripen, they will be extremely prestigious innate spiritual objects, whether bestowed upon meritorious disciples or used to travel the prehistoric world and make friends with immortals from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yao turned around and sent a divine thought out of the secret chamber.
Before long, the boy in green, Qingya, arrived outside Qingxuan Cave and waited respectfully in front of the stone gate.
Through the stone door, Xuan Yao instructed, "Qingya, the peach branches inside the secret chamber have already borne immortal fruits."
"This is the foundation of my Qinghei Mountain lineage. From this day forward, you must guard the cave every day, regulating the surrounding array's energy. Do not slack off. If there is any instability in the spiritual energy, report it immediately."
Upon hearing that the peaches of immortality had ripened, Qingya was both surprised and delighted. He immediately knelt down and solemnly replied, "Master, rest assured, your disciple will guard the cave well and will not dare to be negligent in the slightest."
After arranging the spiritual roots in the cave, Xuan Yao was about to deduce his future cultivation path again.
Just then, the energy of heaven and earth outside Qinghei Mountain suddenly trembled.
The tremor wasn't the shaking of mountains and rivers, but rather a subtle fluctuation in the vital energy of the Great Dao. With Xuan Yao's current Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he naturally sensed it immediately.
He immediately stepped out of the cold pool chamber, and when he reappeared, he was already standing on the top of the ten-thousand-foot-high solitary peak of Qinghei Mountain.
Xuan Yao raised his head and looked towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Above the once high and deep heavens, a vast expanse of purple mist stretched for hundreds of millions of miles.
Boundless purple clouds surged like the sea, reflecting a layer of noble light across the entire primordial sky.
In the void, the celestial sounds of the Great Dao echoed faintly.
The myriad laws resonated in response, celestial flowers fell from the heavens, and golden lotuses emerged one after another on the earth.
Xuan Yao was no stranger to such strange phenomena.
When the Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished his first sermon at Zixiao Palace, such a scene appeared in the primordial world.
Now that the purple aura has risen again and the Daoist voice has resounded once more, it is clear that the second time that Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached at Zixiao Palace has officially come to an end.
Those powerful beings from the primordial world who traveled to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao should also return to their respective dojos one after another.
Xuan Yao stood quietly atop the mountain, his gaze withdrawing from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens and turning to look towards the far west of the primordial wilderness.
That place is where Xikunlun is located.
Sure enough, within moments, strange phenomena appeared in the direction of Xikunlun.
But then one could see golden clouds like a waterfall cascading down from the heavens.
Auspicious clouds and colorful mist swirled, and a noble and lofty aura of the Great Luo slowly unfolded from the depths of the Jade Pool.
The energy was balanced and peaceful, vast as an abyss, and carried the meaning of boundless blessings and creation, like a clear and bright moon rising in the mid-sky, illuminating the western Kunlun region with crystal clarity.
Xuan Yao was all too familiar with this kind of energy.
He knew in his heart that it must be that his master, the Queen Mother of the West, had returned from listening to the Dao and gone back to the Jade Pool Wonderland.
As the head of all female immortals, the Queen Mother of the West must have received the profound teachings of the Dao Ancestor during her two lectures at Zixiao Palace, thus advancing her cultivation even further.
As a direct disciple of the inner sect, Xuan Yao should have gone to pay his respects to his master as soon as possible after his master returned to the mountain.
Moreover, he has now attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and has formed a karmic bond with the Phoenix Clan at the Southern Undying Volcano, bringing back this Yin-Yang Divine Egg, which involves considerable significance.
All of this should be explained to Master in person, and Master should be asked to make a decision.
Xuan Yao no longer hesitated.
With a sway, he returned to the secret chamber of the cold pool in Qingxuan Cave.
On the stone platform, the Yin-Yang Divine Egg was still shrouded in a black and white Tai Chi halo, its energy gentle. Xuan Yao removed the outer layers of restrictions and carefully cradled the divine egg in his arms.
The divine egg felt warm and smooth to the touch, and the yin and yang energies within it were exceptionally calmed by the pure light of the blessing, no longer as restless as when it was first seen.
Xuan Yao used the power of Taiyi to protect the divine egg, and covered the eggshell with a layer of soft, clear light to prevent it from being disturbed by the strong winds on its journey.
Then, he walked out of the cave and waved his sleeves.
A cloud of auspicious blessings rose from beneath his feet, supporting him and the Yin-Yang divine egg in his arms.
The clouds were clear and bright, and the rosy hues were warm and gentle. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a streak of light that shot straight into the azure sky.
The streak of light pierced through the sea of clouds, carrying the composed demeanor of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, heading straight for the Yaochi Wonderland of Xikunlun, where golden clouds filled the sky.
