Chapter 562 – Manifestation
Even though Yang Junshan suspected that the reason behind the withering of the Red Mist Mountain’s peach forest was because the Peach of Immortality was taken away, and the four cultivators had used their own abilities to pick the peach, Yang Junshan himself did not know who picked the Peach of Immortality. Aesult, he still had a bit of luck in his heart, what if he picked the Peach of Immortality himself?
Yang Junshan had picked close to one thousand and five hundred Spirit Peaches at the Red Mist Mountain. Other than the few hundred peach trees that came from the mountainside, the remaining one thousand were all obtained from the huge peach trees on the mountaintop.
After returning to the Macaque Valley, Yang Junshan said goodbye to Ba Wu and Ba Xin. Then, he left behind several hundreds of Spirit Peaches that he had plucked from the peach tree at the side of the mountain, causing the valley’s Macaque to rob him. However, he himself had opened uemporary cave in the valley, and started to cultivate in seclusion.
After exiting the Red Mist Mountain, Yang Junshan had discovered that not only were these Spirit Peaches not poisonous, the spirit energy contained within was extremely rich, and was extremely useful for assisting cultivators in cultivation.
Within this immortal cave that was being constructed before his death, Yang Junshan took out a storage bag from his waist and shook it, releasing a spirit peach the size of a thousand children’s heads onto the ground.
The spiritual energy contained within these Spirit Peaches was even purer, far surpassing that of high-grade Spirit Fruits. They were considered a rare treasure in the world, and could be used to refine a Spirit Grade Pei-Yuan Dan.
However, even though the concentrated Spiritual Energy was much thicker and easier to absorb, it was usually less effective the more it was consumed. However, this kind of natural fruit didn’t have this limitation and could be eaten without worry about wasting the Spiritual Energy contained within.
However, these thousand large Spirit Peaches, made Yang Junshan feel that his trip was not in vain. Yang Junshan directly ate a Spirit Peaches into his mouth, and felt the spirit energy contained inside, these thousand Spirit Peaches were practically equivalent to ten treasured pellets used specially to support his cultivation, which was more than enough for him to cultivate for a year.
However, the most important thing was to see if the Peach of Immortality was lucky enough.
Although he held onto a strand of hope, when Yang Junshan picked ueach that looked a lot thinner than an ordinary spirit peach and threw it away, he thought it was just an immature spirit peach. However, he suddenly felt a surging life force in his palm that made Yang Junshan’s heart tremble, and he almost threw him out.
Immortality Peach, it really was an Immortality Peach. He never would have thought that his luck was pretty good. After picking so many peaches, he finally got the right one.
Yang Junshan immediately did not care about the remaining 300 Spirit Peaches that he had not tested, and directly grabbed the Immortality Peach. He activated a simple protection formation in the cave, and this time he really closed up.
For one Ice Essence Stone, Yang Junshan would need at least two to three days to refine it, but because Yang Junshan’s cultivation method and the ice origin energy were incompatible, it could only increase his cultivation by half a year.
The Peach of Immortality contained much more source of energy and life than the Peach of Immortality. Furthermore, Yang Junshan had his own cultivation methods and techniques to worry about, but in order to completely refine a Peach of Immortality, he had to spend seven days worth of time.
Ten years of growth, ten years of lifespan.
The origin whirlpool within his dantian expanded by abouhird of its size, and the condensed origin energy within the whirlpool became even denser. The originally golden energy was now slightly dimmer, and the distance between the original whirlpool and the mountain peak formed by his dantian was shortened by a third.
This sudden increase in cultivation made it difficult for him to adapt. His entire body felt bloated, as though he was about to float up in the air after being blown full of energy.
The hill transformed from his dantian shook for days in a row, and the mace stuck in the hill slightly vibrated, waking up the magical artifact spirit that had been sleeping under the mace. However, after rubbing his eyes and staring at the mace for a while, he lied down on the ground and fell asleep.
However, this small stone cone had been revolving around the mace at a faster speed, and the source energy released from the center of the vortex had been absorbed by a lot of the stone mace.
At the same time, he had also changed the mountain cleaver spirit artifact. After its main body had been injured during the battle, Yang Junshan kept it inside his dantian, preparing to look for Ouyang Xulin to repair it after returning to the Yuzhou.
However, following Yang Junshan’s increase in cultivation, the spirit treasure was also repaired by the surging Astral Energy. Although it was still far from reaching its perfect state, and the spirit treasure itself had yet to recover its power, as long as one was careful, they could at least take it out and use it.
After a cultivator advanced into the martial arts realm, they would need at least two hundred years of lifespan. After advancing into the realms of life, one’s lifespan would increase to three hundred years. However, a cultivator at the fifth stage of the realms of life would only have a lifespan of around five hundred years.
Ten years of longevity didn’t seem to have increased by much, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was extremely precious. This was because ten years of longevity didn’t mean that one could live ten more years.
This meant that a Martial Realm Cultivator would originally have a lifespan of two hundred years, while he himself was already one hundred and twenty years old. However, after eating the Peach of Immortality, it was not because he could live to two hundred and ten years old, but because the age of his body had been reduced to one hundred and ten years.
Think about it, after a Martial Realm Cultivator has a lifespan of oveundred and twenty years, it would be difficult for him to have any hopes of advancing to the realms of life anymore. Normally, even if a spirit object could extend his lifespan by ten years, he would still not be able to break through after the age of a hundred and twenty.
After consuming the Peach of Immortality and refining, his physical body’s actual age returned to 110 all of a sudden, and he still had the chance to reach the level of martial arts realm after ten years. Furthermore, the Peach of Immortality itself had increased cultivation by ten years, and with each increase or decrease, the cultivator saved twenty more years of time. This was the main reason why the Peach of Immortality caused all cultivators in the cultivation world to go crazy.
Yang Junshan had only cultivated for thirty to forty years. Since he had a lifespan exceeding three hundred years, he naturally did not want to break through, but to be able to increase his cultivation by ten years and even be ten years younger, such a good thing was something that no one would refuse.
After seven days, Yang Junshan could feel his inner body becoming stronger and stronger, filled with vitality and flesh, he was naturally overjoyed, he kept the close thousand Spirit Peaches on the ground and five hundred, then gave the rest to the Macaque Tribe after he came out of seclusion.
But just as Yang Junshan was about to remove the array, a surging wave of Spirit Demon Qi rushed out of the simple array formation outside the cave like an enormous wave.
Yang Junshan’s expression congealed, he thought to himself, this valley was already a secret, and with the help of a big array to hide it, other than the Macaque s, there would usually be no one who would be able to find this place.
Yang Junshan withdrew his array formation and quickly reached the depths of the valley. Suddenly, he felt a familiar Spirit Demon Qi soaring into the sky.
Very quickly, Yang Junshan discovered other Macaque s. Although they were all fleeing and hiding due to the oppressing aura, there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they all stretched their necks to look into the depths of the valley.
Could it be …
Yang Junshan’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief, he very quickly realised that the protector of the valley’s pond was Ba Xin, he immediately waved his hand, and asked: “Inside is Ba Wu, he’s about to break through?”
When Ba Xin heard this, he immediately nodded his head.
Yang Junshan continued: “Is it because you ate the Spirit Peaches?”
Basing nodded again.
“I …” Yang Junshan cursed in his heart. He had clearly picked the hundred year old Spirit Peaches that he threw to the monkeys, halfway up the mountain, but they actually found a Peach of Immortality in there, and it had actually been eaten by the monkeys all this time!
His cultivation had already reached the great circle of the Spiritual Demons. After eating that peach and increasing his cultivation by ten years, he actually had the foundation of breaking through to the True Demon Realm.
Who would have thought that there would be a Peach of Immortality among the smaller Peach formed halfway up the mountain?
At that time, almost everyone in the Red Mist Peak took it for granted that the Peach of Immortality was on the huge peach tree at the top of the mountain. At that time, almost everyone in the Red Mist Mountain took it for granted that the Peach of Immortality was on the huge peach tree at the top of the mountain.
Wait a minute, who said that the peach forest at the Red Mist Mountain could only have one outstanding Immortality Peach, then he would have at least two!
Thinking that it was possible that the thousands upon thousands of peach trees in the entire Red Mist Mountain had withered because the Immortality Peach was taken away, Yang Junshan was initially suspicious that a Immortality Peach would have to be raised by the entire peach forest. But now, it seemed that there was more than one Immortality Peach that the gigantic peach forest had formed.
Perhaps the other three people had also plucked Immortality Peaches from the Spirit Peaches, or the other Spirit Peaches that had formed from the other peach trees on the mountainside had also formed Immortality Peaches.
After the entire forest withered, it was already burnt to ashes by the fire set by Yang Junshan and the Adept Qing Feng. Furthermore, even if Yang Junshan and the Adept Qing Feng did not set a fire, the entire peach forest had already withered away. Even if there were Peaches of Immortality, they had already turned into dry skins.
Maybe it was as Adept Qing Feng said, hundreds of years later, the Peach Root which was still full of vitality at the bottom of the Red Mist Mountain would once again grow inteach forest, and at that time, the Peaches of Immortality would probably form again.
Just as Yang Junshan was thinking about this in his mind, a loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the valley. A figure with a naked upper body jumped from within, and was probably not even sixty meters tall.
When his figure landed, it was actually a robust young man with arms above his knees, and a stooped back. He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and a pair of spirited eyes was knocking at Yang Junshan as they rotated.
