Bai Qianqian did sothing that many people couldn't clearly see, but ng Yu was an exception.
From Bai Qianqian's sleeves, one Spirit Talisman after another flew out and then buried themselves into the ground. Was this… an Earth Magic Spell to plow or to fertilize the land?
She wasn't causing destruction?
What a kind-hearted rabbit.
She threw a peach pit into the ground surrounded by a crystalline Spiritual Light. Spiritual lines spread across the entire land as one spell after another was cast, mysterious patterns covering the earth.
Soon after, a green sprout grew, quickly turning into a sapling, and then into a big tree. This spell was no different from the one Su Qingqing had used before, but, but!
The big tree continued to grow, reaching towards the sky, growing taller and taller until it beca a super peach tree sixty ters high, so vast that several people couldn't wrap their arms around it.
Bright red peach blossoms blood on the branches like brocade, lush branches blocking the sunlight. A flock of birds flew over, happily chirping away.
There was no attack power, just turning a seed into a sixty-ter-tall tree, three tis the height of the city walls, standing there, delivering an endless fragrance to everyone.
Suddenly, a vague figure who couldn't make out facial features and looked sowhat confused, descended from the peach tree and landed in front of Bai Qianqian. It was a Tree Spirit!
The apparition circled Bai Qianqian three tis, then bowed before her, and flew back into the peach tree. This was as exquisitely ingenious as ng Yu's Fire Crow Sword Technique.
Although both were First-Grade Spells, the Fire Crow Sword Technique was a Sacrificial Sword that summoned the Fire Elent and endowed it with a Divine Soul, while Bai Qianqian let a seed take root and then transford it into a spirit creature, the latter being many tis more delicate!
The branches of the peach tree rustled as if sothing was laughing. Then peach blossoms fell, peach blossoms blood, and little peaches appeared on the branches. The green peaches began to grow larger and redden, hanging from the branches, bursting with a healthy color.
From the seed taking root to the peach tree bearing fruit, the whole scene took half an hour, lacking both the crisp efficiency of ng Yu and any lethal force.
Of course, it wasn't without gain. In front of everyone stood a sixty-ter-tall giant tree, a spectacle now visible to all.
"Stop resisting. You are no match for King ng Tian. One stroke of his sword could kill you all. Surrender now, and you'll have peaches to eat."
The girl's voice was crystalline and slightly embarrassed as it reached everyone's ears.
"In the future, there will be peaches to eat every year."
She looked at ng Yu sowhat sheepishly. With this, it should be sufficient, right?
"Clap, clap, clap."
It was the sound of ng Yu clapping his hands. He nodded in approval at Bai Qianqian and then headed towards the city gate.
Without any combat formation; many of ng Yu's n walked while gazing at the peach tree.
The ranks were disorganized, but on the city wall, the officers and soldiers of Iron Chain Pass were scrambling to open the city gates. Even Great Wu's most die-hard adherents had no choice at this point but to flee, while the others knelt on the streets, entrusting their fates to the unknown.
In a scenario where Great Wu's Iron Chain Pass was guarded by the most loyal and elite soldiers, the city was taken without bloodshed.
And the fa of ng Yu and Bai Yun Temple resounded throughout the entire world.
Sword Deity and Immortal Taohua!
...
A group of soldiers, respectfully saluted Bai Qianqian and Su Qingqing, who were sitting under the peach tree, and then quickly climbed up the big peach tree, starting to pick peaches from above.
The talk of eating peaches, which many thought was a joke, turned out to be true. After entering the city, King ng Tian promised, given Bai Yun Temple had spoken, that every person who surrendered would have a peach to eat.
Of course, his own n got to eat their fill first.
Consequently, these past few days, everyone enjoyed the delicious and juicy peaches, eating with broad smiles.
No one doubted victory anymore. Everyone was brimming with confidence, and even the surrendered soldiers, peach-eaters or not, beca extrely compliant.
If ng Yu hadn't stationed troops around the peach tree, countless people would have gone there to offer incense and bow down. However, legends about them were spreading wildly.
With the rise and set of the sun, ti flowed on, and soon, three days passed. This ti, ng Yu ca, not really because he couldn't get away, but because Su Qingqing had told him, "You attend to your matters; we will wait for you here. You've taken the city without bloodshed, sparing many from slaughter. Our master is very pleased, so tend to the state affairs well, for the master hopes you do a good job."
Thus, after ng Yu dealt with everything that needed handling, he ca to see them.
Underneath the tree, the three of them surrounded a table filled with various kinds of peaches, which were the best from the tree, offered to Su Qingqing by the Tree Spirit.
"How did it go?" Bai Qianqian asked.
"I've finally finished with my duties. I am really sorry for neglecting you both."
"No harm done. Actually, I am very happy to see you working hard like this, like tilling the soil in the fields. Being too hands-off isn't good. But what do you plan to do next?"
"Please grant three years. After I establish the new dynasty, I will retreat from my position and join the Moon-Watching Sect to devoutly cultivate, never wasting any more ti."
ng Yu earnestly said.
"Eh..."
Bai Qianqian was taken aback for a mont and looked at ng Yu with even greater respect. She had thought that ng Yu would directly speak of despising wealth and power, rejecting thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, only wishing to follow her in cultivation, ah no, eat radishes...
This was indeed the truth. In the Lower Realm, countless mortals would do anything to be admitted into the Immortal Sect.
But look at him, how good was he? He even knew to settle his followers and quell the chaos. This, this was really... To be honest, Bai Qianqian had never t such a good person before.
"Please rest assured, Immortal. I will continue to cultivate in these three years, and will not slack off. Originally, I should be studying with the Immortal, but for the sake of the common people, I..."
As ng Yu said this, of course he wouldn't ntion it was for that tenfold.
"You... you're really sacrificing too much."
Bai Qianqian looked at ng Yu and suddenly sighed.
In the Path of Immortality, so people can achieve Foundation Establishnt at thirty years old, and others at fifty, but... often those who can do it at thirty must hurry even more because they still have the possibility of Core Formation.
As for a genius like ng Yu, his future should be a Nascent Soul.
"Actually, you don't need to be anxious."
After pondering for a mont, Bai Qianqian thought and said,
"Previously, Qingqing ntioned that you should be patient and in about seven years, there will be a great opportunity for you. Do you rember that?"
Of course, ng Yu rembered. He had thought that Su Qingqing's words ant that she had thought he was at Qi Cultivation Third Layer, and that in seven or eight years he would reach about the Sixth Layer and then the Moon-Watching Sect would take him as a disciple.
"No, no, it's about the problem of Foundation Establishnt. When you looked at those legends of the Martial World, didn't you feel sothing strange? How could Xu Kefa, with his cultivation, break through with a single strike, even if he was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation... Mmm, you're different from normal people. Let's not talk about this. Moreover, after he beca the myth of the Martial World, why did he only rule as the Great Ancestor for five years and then claim he had shattered the void and ascended to the Upper Realm?"
"Hmm."
ng Yu nodded his head.
"This is about the issue of the Spiritual Qi Tide. What I'm about to say may be sothing you don't understand, but just listen. The world of Great Wu, though a Minor World, has seen millions of people grow and pass away through the generations. Countless divine soul fragnts have accumulated layer by layer until they overflow."
Bai Qianqian rattled off her explanation, but ng Yu thought of his second red task - to save the people of the Changdong Minor World.
The biochemical crisis of that world was actually a mutation that occurred as the world was about to level up.
"Now, about seven years are left until the world levels up. At that ti, when the Spiritual Qi Tide occurs, the planet will briefly advance to a Second-Order World at a certain mont, and that will be your opportunity."
"Please continue."
"Our Sect has always been researching the issue of world advancent. When a world ascends, it often produces Sons of the World, Heavenly Delicate Ladies, and other fortunate individuals. Our Sect has been studying this topic extensively. The reason Su Qingqing values you is because she wants you to achieve kingship, to be known by the masses, and after becoming the Emperor, during that opportunity, to be favored by the heavens and the earth, and then to establish your Foundation.
It's a thod of Foundation Establishnt that's even better than Foundation Establishnt by Enlightennt, but..."
At this point, she seed a bit embarrassed.
"The success rate is only eight percent."
If soone recomnded to ng Yu a project with only an eight percent success rate, his first reaction would be to burst their head. However, since the project was proposed by a rabbit, then he could have a further talk with her.
"Foundation Establishnt by Enlightennt, I know of it; it's the highest level of Foundation Establishnt thod. But comparing it to your experint with an eight percent success rate, is it really worth it?"
"Don't worry, the eight percent success rate is calculated on the premise of ensuring your safety. Moreover, when the ti cos, you can decide for yourself whether to undertake Foundation Establishnt. Even if you fail, you won't be hard by the overflow of vital energy from the heavens and the earth etc."
"So, I must participate in this experint if I wish to join the Moon-Watching Sect?"
"No, no, no. How could that be? Ask Su Qingqing and my other disciples, have I used them for experints?
It's just... this matter is too coincidental. It almost makes believe it's the arrangent of fate. You're so powerful. I've never seen anyone as formidable as you at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. You could achieve Foundation Establishnt by Enlightennt, but you perfectly fit the experintal conditions, including becoming the Emperor of Great Wu and everything else, as if it were all ant to be. So I'm simply asking one more ti..."
Then, Bai Qianqian sincerely said.
"I'm just making a suggestion. Actually, I don't recomnd you partake in the experint since you've got a twenty percent chance of success. It's better if you follow the path of Foundation Establishnt by Enlightennt.
As for the matter of becoming a disciple, don't worry. If you want to join the Moon-Watching Sect, I'd be afraid of holding you back. There are many Sects much stronger than ours; I can recomnd you to them..."
As she was about to speak further, ng Yu suddenly prostrated himself again.
"I beseech the true person Bai to accept as a disciple."
He had no intention of participating in the experint, but as for this rabbit master, ng Yu truly wanted to beco her disciple!
To tell the truth, with her emotional intelligence and IQ, if she hadn't been hiding all along, she would have been swindled long ago. ng Yu felt a bit of pity for her!
After all, finding a Golden Core was far more valuable than any wealthy and beautiful woman.
