The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 188 Peaches of Immortality and Reincarnation

"I will be in seclusion for a few days. During this time, please do not let anyone disturb me."

After subduing the sacred beast, Ning Qing casually tossed over the ancient jade containing the secret technique for transforming into a dragon, and began to ponder the peach tree seed in his hand.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was overjoyed and accepted the heavenly book. He was about to shamelessly ask about the seeds of the Divine Peach Fruit when he was surprised to find the gates of the Water Palace slammed shut, leaving him with a cold shoulder.

"Damn it! If I finish comprehending it..." The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was furious and was about to utter some harsh words, but in the end, it remained lying at the entrance of the cave with an unpredictable expression.

Forget it, this old guy is pretending to be young, he must be narrow-minded. Let's talk about it when he's a hundred years old.

……

The Peaches of Immortality, a divine elixir of immortality, are renowned throughout this universe.

Putting aside the secret that its predecessor was very likely related to Pan Wang of the Immortal Realm, the Fighting Saint Emperor, who once briefly possessed it, personally ended the Primordial Era. Moreover, it is one of the few immortal divine medicines with a clear whereabouts and that has been successfully obtained by someone.

Moreover, the elders of the holy land who obtained the divine medicinal fruit used endless earth milk and divine liquid to cultivate it, making it a wonder of Yaochi.

All cultivators of the Northern Dipper covet it, but the Divine Ruins are a forbidden area, making it too inaccessible to most. Only a very few cultivators nearing their end would risk going deep into the forbidden area in search of a second life.

Ning Qing examined the heart-shaped seed in his hand, slightly activated his divine power, and suddenly a myriad of rays of light shone from his palm, entering the seed. In an instant, the yellowish-brown seed emitted strands of celestial radiance, dazzlingly brilliant.

Strands of life essence were stimulated, clearly indicating that the Demon Emperor had carefully preserved the seed after obtaining it, ensuring that its immortal divinity was not completely extinguished by time.

“In the past, Yaochi used countless treasures to make the peach kernel sprout and become the semi-divine medicine it is today.” Ning Qingyi said solemnly, “Now, let’s use this to test my skills.”

With a thought, the peach kernel seeds were instantly absorbed into Ning Qingyi's dantian.

Through continuous cultivation, this place has changed since its initial creation.

In the center of the earth, a spring gurgles and flows, soaking into the surrounding Dao soil. Celestial clouds rise and shine, with countless rays of light and countless Dao traces, exuding an aura of the primordial beginning of time and radiating boundless vitality.

If a cultivator were to mistakenly enter this place, he would surely think he had entered a chaotic immortal land, because in the east of the Daoist land, the Fusang Divine Tree stands alone, and the endless holy power of the sun forms a strange phenomenon that breaks through the hazy chaotic mist, making this place extraordinary.

The primordial spirit descended from the celestial platform, its body radiating golden light, with a jade glow shimmering behind its head, crystal clear, surrounded by five-colored aura, resembling a primordial deity.

The peach kernel fell into the hands of the primordial spirit, who then stepped forward and arrived at a raised area near the spring.

With a thought, the earth cracked open, about an inch and three-tenths of an inch deep, and then the peach kernel fell into it, before automatically closing up again.

"Come."

He gave a soft shout, and a divine rainbow rose from the spring, his primordial divine liquid, which poured into the spring.

At the same time, a golden heart lamp of the Dao Tribulation appeared in the Fusang Divine Tree, and a drop of divine tree essence fell into it. In an instant, it was as if a great sun was ignited by the heart lamp.

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Heart Lamp of Tribulation reappeared near Tao Ren, instantly raising the temperature in the area.

This lamp of the heart was forged by him in the past using methods from Taoist scriptures and the secret teachings of Mount Ling. It not only burns with raging karmic fire but also possesses boundless power of faith, making it truly extraordinary. Upon reaching the Big Dipper, it further absorbed the divine fire within the fire domain, greatly increasing its power. It not only specifically targets inner demons and clears away the mental obstacles of cultivators but can also be used to fight enemies with divine fire, easily burning even holy lords and powerful beings to death.

However, he already possessed the Great Saint Weapon Luofu Cauldron and the Quasi-Emperor Artifact Primordial Azure Gold Pagoda, so he was not lacking in killing treasures. Therefore, after obtaining the Fusang Divine Tree, he simply devoted himself to refining it, constantly absorbing and releasing immortal divine essence in order to refine a Dao treasure.

"Planting trees on Earth requires attention to sunlight, water, nutrients, and soil structure." The little primordial spirit sat cross-legged beside him, pondering silently: "Let me see if my dantian Dao soil can transform decay into divine energy."

A month passed in the blink of an eye while he sat cross-legged, but there was no change whatsoever in his dantian.

Ning Qingyi frowned. He could feel that the peach kernels had become increasingly vibrant over the past month, but there was no sign of them taking root or sprouting.

"Am I being too hasty? Such a divine object can take several years to develop." Ning Qingyi pondered this, but when he thought of the Qilin Immortal Elixir, he rejected his own idea.

He took out a handful of all-encompassing soil, held it in his palm, and pondered deeply.

Within the palm of one's hand, one can feel a boundless life force constantly influencing one's primordial spirit. This is a very special power that operates between existence and non-existence, nourishing not only the physical body but also the intangible and formless primordial spirit.

“The Soil of All Things is not merely a collection of life force; it must have contained a vast amount of immortal matter in the Immortal Ancient Era,” Ning Qingyi asserted. “The Boundless Immortal Venerable was able to be resurrected through it, and I also used it to heal my Dao injuries and even condense the legendary Reincarnation Seal.”

Ning Qingyi was filled with a thousand thoughts. As he gazed at his own reincarnation mark, he felt as if he had vaguely grasped something.

He pondered for three days and three nights, until the moment he took the peach kernel out again, he suddenly realized something.

"The power of destiny! Transcending all paths, revealing the truth!"

Ning Qing used the Lesser Destiny Technique, and instantly a magnificent portal appeared behind him, accompanied by the resounding sound of the Great Dao.

He twirled a grain of Reincarnation Soil between his two fingers, and with the blessing of the Minor Destiny Technique, the Source Heaven Divine Eye unleashed a power that shook heaven and earth.

He saw this crystal-clear grain of all-encompassing soil grow larger and larger in his vision.

Beneath the surface of surging vitality, what appeared before his eyes was a dense aura of death!

This surprised him greatly, but he also had a sudden realization that he might have found the right answer!
Ning Qingyi continued to delve deeper, and at the end of the deathly aura, there were laws one after another. These laws were intertwined, constantly transforming the life and death energies, maintaining the wondrous nature of this grain of earth containing all things.

Ning Qing's heart stirred, and he released wisps of death energy hidden within his body. These wisps of death energy, upon contact with the Soil of All Things, became entangled with and mutually eroded the boundless vitality, all at the core of the Soil of All Things.

The balance between life and death energies was rapidly disrupted, with death energy constantly transforming to replenish life energy, until it counteracted the power released by Ning Qingyi.

puff.

When all things in the earth were destroyed, the core hidden deep within also disappeared.

Ning Qing jumped up abruptly, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Reincarnation! The mystery of reincarnation is hidden within all things in the earth!"
