Chapter 421 Human Head Peaches
The so-called peaches of immortality are a unique and precious creature bestowed upon us by heaven and earth.
Some ripen once every three thousand years; those who eat them can become immortals. Some ripen once every six thousand years; those who eat them can ascend to heaven and live forever. Some ripen once every nine thousand years; those who eat them can shine as brightly as the sun and moon and live as long as heaven and earth.
Such a treasure would surely tempt even the most powerful beings, let alone ordinary cultivators, who have already attained immortality and become celestial beings.
Such treasures were lost to the world after the end of the ancient mythological era, and can now only be seen in ancient records.
According to ancient records, this treasure was planted in the peach orchard of the Queen Mother of the West during the era of ancient gods and legends.
Every three thousand years, the Queen Mother of the West would invite the most powerful beings in the world to a grand Peach Banquet, where they could enjoy this spiritual fruit of heaven and earth together.
……
Several slender, fairy-like women hurried past Lin Fei and his companions. The voices that had just been spoken belonged to these women.
As Lin Fei had expected, these fairies were not real people, but merely phantoms remaining within the Heavenly Palace, just like the heavenly soldiers and generals he had seen at the South Heavenly Gate.
"Could it be that these fairies are heading to the Peach Garden?" Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder.
Although Lin Fei had already set his sights on the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, even he couldn't help but be tempted by treasures like the Peaches of Immortality.
For any cultivator, the peaches of immortality, a rare treasure of heaven and earth, are a great tonic. Even the most powerful figures of ancient times flocked to the Peach Banquet, which only happens once every three thousand years; how could Lin Fei possibly resist such a temptation?
Not only Lin Fei, but even Du Qingmu spoke up at this moment, saying, "Your Majesty, why don't we follow them and see what's going on?"
The peaches of immortality, these ancient spiritual creatures, ripen at least once every three thousand years, and only after six thousand years can they be called treasures. A nine-thousand-year-old peach is an extremely rare treasure, a treasure rarely seen in the world. Even earth immortals and celestial immortals would be tempted by them.
Countless millennia have passed since ancient times. If no one has disturbed the Peach Garden during this period, there must be ripe peaches growing there.
If Lin Fei could obtain a Supreme Peach that ripens only once every nine thousand years, his cultivation would immediately leap forward, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to break through to the Celestial Realm.
Lin Fei's mind raced, and he nodded, saying, "Alright, let's follow behind them and see what's going on."
……
Lin Fei and his companions followed behind the fairies, making no effort to conceal their presence. After all, those fairies were nothing more than illusions.
After walking for a while, a huge garden appeared in front of them, with three large characters written on the plaque above the entrance: "Peach Garden".
This place is the very center of the eleventh heavenly palace, the place where the heavenly and earthly spiritual fruit, the peach of immortality, is nurtured.
The moment the fairies stepped into the Peach Garden, their bodies vanished like a wisp of mist. Just like the celestial soldiers and generals Lin Fei and his companions had encountered before, it gave off a very eerie feeling.
"Master, Elder Du, please be extra careful. This Heavenly Court ruins is extremely strange," Lin Fei whispered to Yuan Yi and the other man.
Du Qingmu and Yuan Yi both nodded. The ancient Heavenly Court ruins were indeed somewhat eerie. The phantoms of celestial soldiers, generals, and celestial maidens appeared and disappeared suddenly, even to powerful figures like themselves at the Celestial Realm. It was unsettling.
The three of them became more cautious and stepped into the peach orchard ahead.
In the Peach Garden, thousands of peach trees are planted, each one a rare treasure in this world.
Lin Fei glanced around and realized that there were probably over three thousand peach trees planted in this peach orchard. Such treasures as peach trees would likely be highly coveted in the modern world, with each one worth fighting tooth and nail for.
And in this Peach Garden, there are more than three thousand such treasures. Such a grand gesture could only exist in the Heavenly Court, one of the three ancient holy lands.
The smaller ones are peach trees that ripen once every three thousand years. The peach trees that ripen once every six thousand years are about the size of a small house. As for the peach trees that ripen once every nine thousand years, they are towering into the clouds.
But no matter what kind of peach tree it is, the trunk is now completely bare. Not to mention the legendary immortal peach, there isn't even a single leaf to be seen.
"It seems that this peach orchard has already been destroyed." Lin Fei sighed upon seeing this.
If he could find a single peach, even the lowest grade one that ripens only once every three thousand years, it would greatly advance his cultivation. And if it were a supreme peach that ripens only once every nine thousand years, there was an even greater chance that Lin Fei's cultivation would be directly boosted, allowing him to advance to the Celestial Realm.
Now it seems that not only has this peach orchard been abandoned for a long time, but even the peach trees planted there have long been destroyed by someone unknown. It seems that I am ultimately destined to be without that ancient spiritual fruit.
Just then, Du Qingmu suddenly pointed and said to Lin Fei, "Your Majesty, look over there!"
Lin Fei followed Du Qingmu's gaze and saw a clearing in the peach grove, which seemed to have been cultivated by someone. On that land, peaches the size of watermelons were planted.
"Could that be the ancient spiritual fruit, the Peach of Immortality?" Before Lin Fei could speak, Du Qingmu had already leaped towards the open space.
He turned around and froze completely, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word. His face was filled with utter shock, tinged with a hint of terror.
"Old Du, what's wrong with you?" Lin Fei also flew towards the open space at the same time. Immediately, his expression became exactly the same as Du Qingmu's, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Those peaches planted on the ground, viewed from the back, looked no different from ordinary peaches, except for their larger size. If Lin Fei's guess was correct, these were the world-famous ancient immortal peaches, the Pan Peach.
But when he saw it from the front, Lin Fei was completely stunned.
It turned out that each of those peaches had been hollowed out by someone, and although the back looked normal, there was a large hole in each one.
In the middle of that huge hole were rows of bloody human heads!
