Chapter 688: Purple-Blue Spirit Peach

“We’re out. We can’t get involved in this matter anymore!”

The three Venerables of the Divine Power Sect trembled with fear.

That one sword strike had cleaved a Little Demon Saint to death.

And the three of them were only at the Quasi-Saint Realm.

“Yes, we’d better leave this to our junior sister to handle!” another Quasi-Saint said, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

‘If the three of us rushed up there recklessly, we probably wouldn’t even withstand a single strike.’

“Exactly! This is a Xuan Family matter. Even Xuan Jiuyang isn’t panicking over his own son’s death, so we shouldn’t overstep our bounds!”

The last Quasi-Saint gave a dry laugh.

“Venerable Jingyang has a point. After all, Qin Feng is from the Star Sect. If we were to act rashly, we might incite a conflict between our two sects!”

As they spoke, the three exchanged a glance, then abruptly plunged into the depths of the Endless Void and vanished from sight.

“This…”

Lingyangwei stared, tongue-tied, at the three Divine Power Sect Venerables who couldn’t seem to leave fast enough.

‘Those were high and mighty Quasi-Saints!’

Even in a sect like the Divine Power Sect, one of the Top Ten Divine Gates, beings of their level were considered lofty figures who controlled the fates of tens of thousands of disciples.

‘To think they’d be so scared!’

‘Is Qin Feng really that overwhelmingly powerful?’ Lingyangwei felt a surge of despair.

The realization plunged him into despair.

“Qin Feng today can already be compared to those Ancient Celestial Prides who have emerged from their seals!”

Within Shaoyang Stronghold, many of the Village Chiefs sighed with lament.

“I’ve heard that in recent years, successors of the great ancient powers have been emerging throughout the Ninety-nine States, each one possessing shocking strength! But from what we’re seeing now, Qin Feng is by no means weaker than these Ancient Celestial Prides!”

“Indeed. A while ago, I heard that the last Crown Prince of the ancient Li Huo Dynasty had appeared in the Qiankun Sect’s Eastern Spirit Realm. That Crown Prince, at the mere Martial Arts Great Power Realm, slew a Saint. I thought it was unbelievable at the time!

“The Great Age is approaching, and the Great Tribulation is descending. I’ve heard many of the sect Elders say that the Heaven and Earth Fortune has begun to ebb, forming a great tide of Qi Fortune. After a silence of ten thousand years, Divine Positions are once again attainable. I imagine these Ancient Celestial Prides sensed this and broke their seals to emerge into the world!”

“I heard about that, too. The Qiankun Sect expended a great deal of effort to capture that Ancient Celestial Pride, but he still managed to escape! Once he’s fully matured, he will inevitably return for revenge!”

“The emergence of these Ancient Celestial Prides has a huge impact on us. They need territory, Qi Fortune, and Spiritual Objects to recover their strength, so they will inevitably disrupt the existing order of the Ninety-nine States. I hear that many of the Eight Hundred Side Sects are already in turbulent waters, liable to be destroyed at any moment!”

“Yes, our sect is facing a tremendous impact. If we can’t seize one or two Divine Positions, the Star Sect’s foundation, built over tens of thousands of years, is in danger of being destroyed!”

As the Village Chiefs continued their discussion, their impression of Qin Feng improved significantly.

Geniuses are always highly valued because, at critical moments, they can shelter the sect from the storm and even preserve its lineage.

The three Village Chiefs shared a worried glance.

With the emergence of these Ancient Celestial Prides, the entire Star Sect had also been greatly affected.

Many of these Ancient Celestial Prides possessed noble bloodlines.

Some were even the Legitimate Sons of God-Demons.

Their speed of growth was something ordinary geniuses could not hope to match.

“Among the new generation of disciples, besides the two the sect has kept hidden, I estimate only Wang Dao Yi, Ye Ding, Shenxiu, Panwu, and Qin Feng have a chance to contend with all these Ancient Celestial Prides!”

“As for the others… if these geniuses can help the sect withstand the first wave of impact from the dawning Great Age, perhaps the remaining geniuses—those who are reincarnated constellations—will have a chance to mature and fend off the second wave!”

The three Village Chiefs exchanged a look, their eyes full of sorrow.

The fourth city was called Luo Net City, where countless members of the Spider Demon Clan dwelled.

The leading Demon King was a Qian Fire Earth Fiend Spider, a Quasi-Saint Demon King.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t withstand a single Flame Mountain.

With a single strike, the spiderwebs blanketing the entire Demon City were instantly turned to ash in the flames.

The Qian Fire Earth Fiend Spider survived the initial catastrophe and tried to transform into a fiery rainbow to escape. But Qin Feng rushed up to it, formed a Cave Heaven Seal, and transformed an entire Grotto Heaven into a Chaos Mountain, crushing it to death on the spot.

After annihilating Luo Net City, Qin Feng did not leave immediately, but instead began to search it for spoils.

This Alien Species of spider was, like the Clam Race, one of the great pearl-producing clans within the Demon Race.

They were famous for producing all kinds of beads.

Qin Feng searched meticulously and, sure enough, harvested nearly a hundred Treasure Pearls of various types.

Each Treasure Pearl was bright and translucent, radiating a Spiritual Light. They were all exceptionally valuable treasures.

The most precious of all was a Qianyuan Earth Fire Bead that had been cultivated by the Demon King leader.

If this treasure were properly worked, it might even be possible to create several sets of Pseudo-True Artifacts through Refinement.

Qin Feng didn’t particularly care for it, but he put it away safely to add to his personal stash.

A black light flickered. But at the fifth gate, Qin Feng stopped in his tracks.

Before him was a massive city.

It was filled with ancient peach trees.

Each one stood even taller and more majestic than a millennium-old tree!

These were a rare kind of peach tree: the Purple-Blue Spirit Peach.

The purple and blue qi within these Spiritual Peaches had an unbelievably wondrous effect!

Even Martial Arts Giants eagerly sought them out.

A typical Purple-Blue Spirit Peach is the fruit of a thousand-year divine peach tree; it takes thirty years to blossom, thirty years to bear fruit, and another thirty years to ripen.

Seeing these peach trees covering the mountains and fields, Qin Feng was reminded of a great power.

Jasper Pool!

In the Ancient Era, the Yaochi Holy Land had appeared in the world. The might of Queen Mother Yaochi shook the heavens and the earth; she had once held a banquet for the Three Ancient Emperors, and even the Five Desolate Emperors treated the master of Jasper Pool with the utmost respect.

The ultimate treasure of the Yaochi Holy Land was a single peach tree.

The Peach of Immortality.

A single Peach of Immortality, even if eaten by a mortal, could grant a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Besides the Peach of Immortality, Jasper Pool was also renowned throughout the world for its many other Peach Tree Spiritual Roots!

In his past life, Qin Feng had been fortunate enough to see the ruins of Jasper Pool.

The style and layout were very similar to this city before him.

“The same feeling!”

At that exact moment, within the City Lord’s Mansion, an exceptionally alluring woman in pink raised her head. A hint of surprise flashed in her enchanting, beautiful eyes, and in the next instant, she appeared silently before Qin Feng.

Just as this happened, Qin Feng raised his head and looked into the Void, and the pink-clothed woman appeared the very next moment.

‘A Tier Two Supreme Great Power!’ A look of surprise crossed Qin Feng’s eyes.

He could sense that although this woman was only at the Supreme Great Power Realm, she gave him a more dangerous feeling than even a Quasi-Saint.

But in the next instant, that curiosity vanished. Silently, a ball of flame appeared in Qin Feng’s hand, its roiling fire forming a spiral.

The woman in pink studied Qin Feng, and her shapely, dark eyebrows slowly furrowed.

‘He’s very strong!’

“Are you the one who destroyed Withered Pine City, Ice Silkworm City, Snow Frost City, and Luo Net City?” the young woman in pink asked, her slender brows furrowed.

Qin Feng’s gaze was placid, as if it could pierce the Void and see the countless lives within the city. He spoke faintly. “I am. Miss, you must be the master of this Ten Thousand Spirits City. I observe that your Demon Qi is pure. Though you are of the Demon Race, you have never harmed humans. You may take your people and leave.”
