Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 319 - 316 The Real Old Six

Chapter 319: Chapter 316 The Real Old Six

This "Flat Peach Tree" may well be a spiritual object with an instinct for self-defense and does not fit into the system of Daoist skill realms like Red Seal, Yellow Seal, Green Seal, and Purple Seal.

But it is the seemingly trivial "knowledge" from the "Killing Tree"

that has already elevated it to a level far surpassing the "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth."

If a real Green Seal Sage was to come here, maybe they could put up a fight with their exquisite manipulation.

However, relying on the power of an external treasure, Su Guyun, who might as well be a child wielding a hammer far too large for them, clearly wasn’t a match for this Flat Peach Tree.

With dazzling circles of spirit light colliding and annihilating each other,

amidst a grating, ear-piercing ripping sound, the illusory lotus leaves surrounding them were pierced and disintegrated, layer by layer, by the Flat Peach Tree.

Even the exquisitely constructed buildings within the Lotus Court were beginning to shake violently.

They were about to be killed by a peach tree.

"Hmm!"

As her life force was connected to the Lotus Court, Su Guyun’s lips began to bleed, and her pale skin coupled with the bright red blood looked particularly harrowing.

What’s worse, countless black python-like tree roots encased the spherical space opened up by the Lotus Court, leaving no gap for escape.

Just five feet in front of them on the chaotic roots, there were wooden faces—faces that should have been unbelievably beautiful—firmly pressed against the transparent "Boundary Membrane."

Even as they were compressed and deformed, they still screamed frantically:

"The seven fairies must stay together forever! Together forever! You can’t leave, you can’t leave, ah, ah, ah..."

Facing the pressure, Su Guyun couldn’t hold on for long before her body started to tremble and sway.

But she clenched her teeth tightly, determined to resist until the last moment.

For her, a single True Spirit had already successfully divided into three.

Even if she died and could never cultivate the "Three True Dharma Body," never achieving the mystery of one life begetting two, and two begetting three, where one Dharma body is immortal allowing the other two to be reborn.

Still, she had two other lives left.

The other two True Spirits, occupying someone else’s body, could also continue to live, even if they would have to start their cultivation from Red Seal all over again.

As she watched the "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth" grow smaller and death draw nearer,

her eyes were not only devoid of despair but blazed with a fierce flame that nearly ignited the Flat Peach Tree:

"I really can’t accept this!

I, Su Guyun, was once a lonely girl who knew after enduring starvation and humiliation that in this world, only power and authority are the most wonderful things.

Who knows how I made it this far in the ruthless Sect, through how many schemes and how much bitter hardship?

If it weren’t for the fact that the position of ’White Lotus Holy Daughter’ in the Sect was preordained as a concubine for the Ming King,

even this pure body of mine might have been given away to some high-ranking Sect elder long ago."

"I’ve made ample preparation this time, and was only one step away from forming the ’Three True Dharma Body.’

Yet, I have to see all my efforts crumble and even lose the chance to start over again.

How harshly fate treats me!"

A qualified antagonist is persistent, calm, diligent, unwavering in their goals, and unscrupulous. So why can’t they succeed in the end?

Is it just because they lack justice and love?

Recalling a line she once read in a storybook, Su Guyun laughed mockingly at herself, but immediately banished these futile lamentations out of her mind.

"Even if I cannot cultivate the ’Three True Dharma Body,’ I refuse to admit defeat.

All of you, the disgusting West King Holy Mother, No-Life Buddha, this Flat Peach Tree, none of you will devour this lady!

My life is determined by me, not by the heavens!"

At that moment, she realized that the "concubine" she’d chosen was still behind her.

If "her" life could be exchanged for her own chance to escape, no matter how much she admired and loved her, Su Guyun would not hesitate for a moment, unfortunately...

"Xiao Wu, I can only create a window of three breaths for you, if you don’t want to become part of the Flat Peach Tree, then seize the opportunity to throw your embroidered ball and leave the Immortal Peach Orchard.

After returning to Taoyuan, find the young man in white you once met; he will lead you out of the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation,’ remember that!"

Having said that, the Yin Yang Fish of the Earth Department of the Lotus Court began to swim faster, and the entire Inner Scene Heaven and Earth started to resound with the noise of surging waves.

Su Guyun was clearly preparing to go all out and fight the Flat Peach Tree to the death.

But she hadn’t noticed.

The "girl" who, although sharp, reliable, and experienced, had shown almost no combat power, finally reached into her basket and pulled out "something."

’Miss Su’er, you are not supposed to die just yet, King Yama said so.’

Wang Yuan, who had long coveted the "Three True Dharma Body," certainly couldn’t just let Su Guyun die here.

The card at the bottom of the basket, meant to keep it weighed down, was finally ready to be revealed.

The Immortal Peach Orchard had its Taboos, and ordinary people who didn’t meet the criteria couldn’t enter, but Wang Yuan was no ordinary person.

If the living couldn’t, surely the dead can, right?

""

The secret weapon inside the basket was none other than his own body, or rather, a "corpse"!

’When you lean on a mountain, the mountain collapses, when you rely on others, they run away, in critical moments, one must rely on oneself!’

A group of warrior women were "dragging a corpse" while being chased by a "half corpse".

Following the scent of the [Taiyin Corpse Transformation Seal] inside Huang Wu’s body, they barely managed to drag the "corpse" to Wang Yuan’s side after strenuous efforts.

Initially, they didn’t dare to storm into the heavily guarded Divine Palace, so they simply took advantage of the mixed crowd on the Third of March and targeted the attendants responsible for logistics.

Nie Hongying, a peak [Dao General], possessed a body, used the [Dao General]’s "Spirit Communication Transformation" to shrink Wang Yuan’s body to smaller than a baby’s.

Then, she used the passive ability [Fake Death], and hid quietly inside the basket.

As long as the master wished, the [Two Realms Dharma Body] could become lighter than a ghost and remain invisible after hiding. Nobody would be aware of it,

aside from Wang Yuan, the true owner of the [Two Realms Dharma Body].

Not to mention the Green Seal Strange Immortal Emperor Mu, who was nearly going mad, even if the West King Holy Mother awoke, she would only think that seven fairies had entered the Immortal Peach Orchard.

If it weren’t for the danger, it’s likely that he would have left Yaochi Fairyland without even the rules realizing that an enemy [Immortal Official] had sneaked around.

Abilities like Tongyou, possession, walking through yin... and so on, are all innate abilities of the [Two Realms Dharma Body].

It could also communicate with the Yin Yang Realm anytime, anywhere; among all the heavens and blessed lands that were formed by the transformations of Heaven and Earth within these two realms, there was almost no place that could trap him.

Although he was currently in the Thirty-Three Heavens, Wang Yuan didn’t seek to travel between the two realms. He just needed to reach the area guarded by the [Nine Soldiers] within the [Heavenly Gate].

We, after all, are people with an organization!

Unfortunately, those three super-grade [Green Peaches] that looked delectable would most likely remain beyond his enjoyment.

If one wishes to live long in this world, besides strictly adhering to precepts and taboos, restraining curiosity and greed is an infallible method to avoid sudden calamities.

First, to retrieve a small life.

Of course, if the treasure has already caught the eye of the thief,

today may not be my day, but who knows about tomorrow.

The next moment, the "Wang Yuan", who was being held in Wang Yuan’s hand like a puppet doll, twitched his eyelid, and life started to surge within him again.

For him, life and death were as simple as flipping a switch.

However, Wang Yuan also only had one chance. Once the [Lotus Court] collapsed and exposed his aura, he would have to escape immediately,

lest he attract all manner of demons, monsters, and bizarre creatures from Yaochi Fairyland to share the "takeout" delivered to his doorstep, and it would be an "all-in-one" package from Old Master Wang.

Bell—!

The [Yin Yang Heart Bell] on his ankle rang softly, split into two, and was worn on both bodies’ ankles.

At that moment, Wang Yuan only needed to use [Yin Yang Union], merge the bodies of the couple back into one, allowing the Yin God to blend together, indistinguishable from each other,

and he could avoid the True Spirit exchanging effect of the [Cycle of Reincarnation Dharma], restoring his strength to its peak!

In just a brief moment, Su Guyun was about to reach his limit,

unable to control the [Lotus Court] any longer and ready to release all the accumulated power all at once.

Just as Wang Yuan was preparing to act immediately afterwards,

"Stop!"

With this sudden shout coming from beside his ear,

everyone in the entire Immortal Peach Orchard, including that [Flat Peach Tree], more than a hundred stunningly beautiful seven fairies, Su Guyun who was prepared to go all out, and Wang Yuan who was about to merge, all stiffened,

from head to toe, utterly unable to move the slightest bit.

Immediately after, Wang Yuan watched helplessly as a golden mosquito flew out from under a leaf, wobbling its head in the air as it slowly proclaimed:

"To the north of Yaochi, there are three great halls. The middle one is named: Green Peach, the east is named: Green Phoenix, the west is named: Stone Qilin.

The Green Peach Tree is to the south of the West Pond, about eighty zhang (approximately 160 meters) high. Commonly referred to as the Flat Peach, it fruits once every hundred years.

The fruit it bears, the Green Peach, can transform one’s innate talent once consumed, remolding one’s body from the bone, elevating the level of divine powers, prolonging vitality, and massively increasing one’s lifespan.

If one can eat three peaches, they can obtain [Divine Power·Blood Rebirth], truly a rare treasure in this world.

Most likely due to the extreme cold in the past decades, countless creatures have perished, their vitality all consumed by the ’Killing Tree’.

This time, to bear three Green Peaches at once? Not bad! Not bad!"

"However, Holy Mother, I below the [Heavenly Gate], you above the [Heavenly Gate], we’ve been neighbors for many years, and yet you didn’t invite me, the Six-Eared Macaque, to the Flat Peach Banquet?

That’s truly unkind of you!

Is it because I stole and ate that single Green Peach that grew a hundred years ago? How petty, you’re walking a narrow path.

Luckily, my six ears caught on early to the anomalies in those two ’seven fairies’.

Now, as expected, they’ve caused trouble and lured out the hidden [Flat Peach Tree] itself.

If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite, heh heh heh..."

Amid the grating heh heh laughter, the golden mosquito suddenly transformed into a dazzling six-eared macaque in golden armor, imposing and grand, as it settled among the branches of the [Flat Peach Tree].

A classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind; clearly, this grand figure was the true ’Old Six’ who understood the art of lying in wait!
