Chapter 508: Chapter 498 Swallowing Rune Chapter 508: Chapter 498 Swallowing Rune “Drink!”
Everyone raised their cups and drank.
At that mont, a fairy brought over so Pan Peaches.
One for each person, even the Immortal Crane fairy received one—though small, it filled her with such joy that her eyes squinted into slits.
As the Purple-Clothed Fairy was about to leave after placing down the Pan Peach, Yi Zheng hurriedly called out, “Sister Purple-Clothed, is it one peach per person, or one per head? Will it be enough to fill us up?”
The Purple-Clothed Fairy stumbled, almost falling to the ground, and with a laugh tinged with exasperation, she looked at the adorably foolish Rabbit and couldn’t help but roll her eyes: “There are a total of three thousand six hundred Pan Peach trees: the first twelve hundred bear small fruits and bloom lightly, maturing every three thousand years. Consuming them allows one to beco an Immortal and lightens the body;
The next twelve hundred are thick with blossoms and sweet fruit, maturing every six thousand years. Eating them lifts one into the clouds, achieving immortality;
The last twelve hundred have purple-striped cores, maturing every nine thousand years. Those who eat them will live as long as the heavens and the earth, and as old as the sun and the moon.
Every year on her birthday, the Queen Mother holds the Pan Peach Festival, inviting gods, Buddhas, and Immortals from All Heavens. Even though each tree produces a good amount, supplies are still very scarce.
It’s hard enough to allocate one per person, and you still want to be fully satisfied?
Do you think these are just common wild peaches from the Lower Realm?”
Yi Zheng, of course, knew the scarcity of Pan Peaches, but he always rembered that the Queen Mother of the West had invited them to eat as many Pan Peaches as possible! So he imdiately said, “But the Queen Mother said that the Pan Peaches are for all who see them.”
Once he finished speaking, Yi Zheng shook his head, and suddenly two more heads appeared. All three heads shouted together, “We all saw them, surely we all get a share, right?”
These words completely stumped the Purple-Clothed Fairy.
The Queen Mother indeed said all who see them get a share, but she felt sothing was not quite right.
Gonggong looked at the Rabbit, his eyes suddenly lighting up, he said: “It’s the Queen Mother’s order, you have to obey, right? Co on, all who see them get a share!”
Gonggong reached out to grab the basket directly.
The Purple-Clothed Fairy was not a fool, and she deftly dodged aside, smilingly said, “One per person, having more heads doesn’t an you get more. Enjoy …”
After saying that, the Purple-Clothed Fairy turned and ran.
Behind her, before Yi Zheng could say anything, Kaiming Beast looked utterly disappointed.
“What’s there to be disappointed about? Don’t you already have a peach?” Yi Zheng said.
Kaiming Beast replied, “I have nine heads, nine heads an nine minds, it’s practically like having nine different s. Logically, dividing into nine isn’t too much, right …”
No sooner had he spoken than soone nearby responded, “Kaiming Beast, I love what you’re saying!”
Rabbit looked up, and the speaker was a giant snake with nine heads! Except this fellow had transford into a human form, with nine snake heads growing out from his neck, and wore a big robe with the character ‘Liu’ written on it!
Ying Zhao imdiately explained, “This is Xiang Liu.”
Yi Zheng nodded slightly, and at the sa ti, he was sure that the Orochi Snake from Evil Horse Island was not this guy; this one seed far stronger than the Orochi Snake… not even in the sa league.
Then another voice chid in, “Kaiming Beast, I think you’re right too!”
This ti it was a creature with nine bird heads. Ying Zhao introduced, “That’s Ghost Carriage.”
“I agree too!” said a fox with nine heads and nine tails. Ying Zhao explained that it was Dragon Leech, the strongest form among the Nine-Tailed Foxes, incredibly powerful with nine heads and tails.
Then soone else loudly voiced, “Right, one per head is only fair.”
This was a nine-headed baby, known as Jiuying.
And these were just the beginning.
Then Yi Zheng felt like he had opened his Heavenly Eye, with Nezha appearing with three heads and six arms, a monkey with the sa features, a Buddha with several dozen heads on his neck, and a Bodhisattva with a thousand hands and faces, all showing up and nodding, “Well said, well said …”
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Yi Zheng stealthily glanced at the Queen Mother, only to see her still seated calmly, smiling cheerfully without showing any signs of anger, though the teacup in her hand seed to have shattered a few tis …
Noticing that sothing was amiss, Yi Zheng quickly kept quiet, earnestly holding the large peach in his arms and started to eat it.
With the first bite, Yi Zheng’s eyes nearly popped out!
Although the Purple-Clothed Fairy’s description was exaggerated, the notion that a single bite could enable a mortal to ascend was stretched.
After all, the human body is like a furnace tripod. If the strength isn’t there, and the tripod is too small, even if given a river of water, it can only hold as much as the tripod allows. Even though the Pan Peach is potent, it can at most expand the furnace slightly, definitely not miraculously allowing it to hold a river’s worth of water.
Of course, if the furnace were naturally capable of holding a river’s worth of water, then the benefits of eating the Pan Peach would be imnse.
With this bite, Yi Zheng felt a surging wave of spiritual energy like a mighty river flooding into his body, nourishing his ridians. His body crackled with sounds, and his strength rose by one star level again!
Seventh Tier, Nine Stars!
Just as his strength was soaring, a burst of dicinal energy from the Golden Core flew out, spinning as it absorbed all of the dicinal power thoroughly.
Yi Zheng was sowhat displeased…
At this mont, the Immortal Cranes Fairy reminded him, “Rabbit, don’t space out, eat quickly! Once the Pan Peach is bitten into, the Spiritual Energy leaks very fast. The key is, it is a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root, containing fragnts of Dao. If not eaten completely, the fragnts will also dissipate. That would be a loss indeed.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng imdiately beca anxious. Looking at the others, Ying Zhao and others were almost stuffing the entire Pan Peach into their mouths!
All of them feared missing even a bit.
Seeing this, Yi Zheng opened his mouth wide and threw the remaining peach into it.
In an instant, the peach transford into a burst of pure energy that surged into his body, then exploded in his dantian!
While the rolling Spiritual Energy was strong, it wasn’t wild; as it flowed through the ridians, it naturally rged into the blood vessels and the flesh. Yi Zheng felt his bones and muscles cracking, and thereafter his strength broke through one small realm after another, seven tiers nine stars early stage, mid-stage, late stage!
After continuously breaking through three small realms in one breath, the dicinal Golden Core vibrated again and then, like a whale sucking water, it pulled all the Spiritual Energy back. However, a rune infiltrated Yi Zheng’s body, burrowing into his Sea of Consciousness.
The next mont, the rune burst forth a beam of black light in mid-air, which then exploded into a black hole that lingered in the Sea of Consciousness.
Yi Zheng’s soul looked up at the huge black hole, vaguely gaining so enlightennt.
At this mont, the Swallowing Sky Bright Buddha Mantra he had comprehended exploded with a bang, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and rged into the black hole. Then, Yi Zheng opened his mouth wide, transforming directly into a massive black hole; in an instant, his entire Sea of Consciousness fell into darkness.
anwhile, inside the Heavenly Demon Realm.
“His Kunlun Mirror is gone! The mont to counterattack has arrived! Kill!”
“Without the Kunlun Mirror, this Rabbit is rely a seventh tier, make your move!”
As several Heavenly Demons roared, darkness swept around like dark clouds.
However, Yi Zheng’s clone, under the control of the Combat Spirit, remained unfazed, waiting for the darkness to descend, then opened his mouth wide: “Swallow!”
In an instant, a peculiar rune lit up behind Yi Zheng. The rune emitted an endless black ray, and simultaneously Yi Zheng’s mouth appeared like an infinitely large black hole, with a terrifying suction force emanating from it. The approaching darkness was sucked into his mouth with a whoosh, directly transforming into pure soul energy and rging into the clone.
The clone’s body crackled, radiated brilliant golden light, and with a hum, it broke through the current realm!
“Eighth tier, he’s reached the eighth tier!” a Heavenly Demon exclaid.
Yet more terrifying was the reappearance of Qing Bronze Ancient Mirror, the Kunlun Mirror, above the Rabbit’s head!
Blue light scattered down, and green bamboo leaves swayed with the wind…
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demons imdiately let out a wail of despair and turned to flee.
However, Yi Zheng’s clone, having stepped into the eighth tier, did not give them a chance to escape. After forming a seal, he directly held onto the Kunlun Mirror, with the Mirror carrying the Rabbit flying at a speed comparable to Instant Teleportation!
As they passed, a black sun moved across the sky, with all the Heavenly Demons being sucked into it…
Wails filled the Heavenly Demon Realm!
…
At this mont, Yi Zheng only felt an imnse comfort in his body, the pleasure of having his physical body strengthened after breaking through a realm.
Yet the most exhilarating part was the exhilaration from comprehending that Swallowing Dao Rune—his soul seed to have undergone a tamorphosis in that instant, as if his whole soul had been sublimated, so exhilarating that he squinted his eyes in pleasure.
When Yi Zheng opened his eyes feeling refreshed, he then saw that it was not only him; many Immortals around him were sitting cross-legged, ditating with closed eyes, clearly having gained great benefits from the Pan Peach as well.
Of course, beings at the level of the Four Calamities and powerful beings such as Gonggong and Zhu Rong did not enter a state of cultivation; clearly, the Pan Peach was useful to them, but not of special significance.
Gonggong saw Yi Zheng awake and smiled broadly: “Rabbit, you’re awake? So, did you gain any benefits?”
Yi Zheng nodded vigorously, then casually grabbed a Spirit Fruit and tossed it into his mouth. As soon as the Spirit Fruit entered his mouth, it was broken down into primal energy that rged throughout his body. However, much of the energy was still absorbed by the dicinal Golden Core and the Bloodline Golden Core.
Used to this, Yi Zheng casually replied, “I did, not bad. How about you?”
Gonggong smiled: “Just a rune, not much use to .”
Yi Zheng then rembered, Gonggong himself was Dao, and curiously asked, “Gonggong, how many runes does a Dao contain?”
Gonggong smiled: “Rabbit, it’s not that I won’t tell you. But there are so things, it’s better you don’t know. Anyway, this rune is more substantial to you right now than any heavenly material or Spiritual Treasure.”
Seeing Gonggong reluctant to speak more, Yi Zheng did not insist further.
He turned to the other Four Calamities and asked, “The Pan Peach is finished, any other activities?”
Ying Zhao replied, “I heard once everyone wakes up, there are music and dance performances, and the Four Emperors will deliver lectures.”
Upon hearing of the music and dance performance, Yi Zheng imdiately beca interested.
But after waiting for a while, he realized, everyone else’s cultivation speed was much slower than his.
It wasn’t that their talents were lacking, but because the Pan Peach Yi Zheng ate, ninety-nine percent of its dicinal power had been absorbed by the dicinal Golden Core and the Bloodline Golden Core. Therefore, he was able to wake up so quickly.
