Chương 68: Primordial Tea Tree

Boom boom boom!

Heavenly drums thundered, celestial music floated, and countless colorful ribbons descended from the sky, drifting into the void. Fairies, dressed in colorful robes, danced gracefully in the air.

The prominent deities of Heaven were also summoned to the Golden Palace of Miro. The Barefoot Immortal, Kua'e, Wude Star Lord, Southern Dipper Star Lord, and Northern Dipper Star Lord, among others, were all dressed in their finest attire and wore joyful expressions as they waited respectfully on both sides of the Golden Avenue.

"We, your humble servants, eagerly await your arrival in the Heavenly Court, Immortal!"

At the end of the road, outside the Lingxiao Palace, Princess Yaoji, clad in golden armor and carrying a large sword as wide as a door on her back, exuded heroic spirit, standing in place of her brother, eagerly awaiting his arrival.

The Supreme God of Heaven, being the Heavenly Emperor, was equal in status to the Sages, and it was inconvenient for him to personally greet Fang Yang. Therefore, he sent his own younger sister as his representative to welcome Fang Yang.

"This humble Taoist priest, Yao Ji, has come to welcome the Immortal on the orders of my royal brother!"

Since his transmigration, Fang Yang had encountered countless people with a "righteous love" mentality, but he had never met one with a "romantic love" mentality. Upon hearing that the other party was Yao Ji, Fang Yang immediately became interested. He wanted to see what kind of person Yao Ji was, who gave up her position as the Heavenly Princess to insist on digging for wild vegetables with Yang Tianyou.

Upon seeing this, doubts arose in his mind.

Yao Ji's foundation was extremely solid; her cultivation was comparable to that of Huanglong Zhenren of the Chan Sect. Judging from her demeanor, which was dignified yet tinged with aloofness, she didn't seem like the kind of immortal woman who would fall in love with a mortal scholar.

Fang Yang didn't want to be seen as a lecher, so he lingered on Yao Ji for a moment before leaving.

"I, Fang Yang, a disciple of the Jie Sect, am deeply honored by the presence of the Princess. I am truly unworthy of such hospitality!"

Yao Ji quickly returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "I dare not."

Those within the family know their own situation best. The value of her title as "princess" is not even comparable to that of Nüwa, and is only slightly higher than that of the Dragon Princess of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. If she were to encounter the princes or princesses of the Four Spirits and Four Clans of Creation, her title of "princess" would be a joke.

"Immortal, please follow me into the Lingxiao Palace. My royal brother is already waiting inside."

Fang Yang nodded in agreement and followed Yao Ji onto the golden road.

Along both sides of the golden avenue, the Barefoot Immortal, the Star Lords of the North and South Dippers, and other celestial deities all bowed in respect, their eyes filled with reverence. They knew that Fang Yang was the personal disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, and even immortal giants like the Styx Ancestor and Zhenyuan Immortal treated him with utmost courtesy.

Before long, Fang Yang, led by Yao Ji, entered the Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Palace was bathed in auspicious light, with thousands of rays of golden radiance. The Jade Emperor sat regally on the Nine-Dragon Throne, clad in a Nine-Dragon Imperial Robe and wearing a flat-topped crown, a kind smile on his face.

"Fang Yang, a disciple of the Jie Sect, greets Martial Uncle Haotian!"

Upon seeing the Jade Emperor, Fang Yang immediately bowed in greeting. However, he was not paying homage to the Heavenly Emperor, but rather to his martial uncle.

His action greatly pleased the Jade Emperor. What the Jade Emperor was most proud of was not his identity as the Heavenly Emperor, but rather his identity as the attendant of the Hongjun Ancestor.

The Jade Emperor never felt ashamed of being Hongjun's page; he was always proud of his identity. Moreover, he was the only one in the entire prehistoric world to have cultivated to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm while still a virgin.

The Jade Emperor has the right, the power, and the reason to be proud of his identity.

Unfortunately, after assuming the position of Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Emperor accomplished nothing. Not only that, he was also overly ambitious, attempting to ascend to heaven in one step by relying on the power of the sage's teachings.

His actions greatly disappointed the Three Pure Ones.

Ultimately, the identity that the Jade Emperor was so proud of became a joke, as no saint was willing to acknowledge him as his junior brother.

Therefore, Fang Yang addressing the Jade Emperor as his "Uncle-Master" was a way of giving the Jade Emperor face and making him feel honored.

"We're all family, no need for formalities, junior disciple. Someone, please offer Fangyang Zhenjun a seat!"

The Jade Emperor was in a great mood and became even more enthusiastic towards Fang Yang.

As soon as Fang Yang took his seat, a maid brought a plate of peaches to his table. The peaches she brought were nine in total, covered with runes of law and surrounded by innate aura; they were actually innate peaches.

The Primordial Peaches are peaches produced by the Primordial Peaches Tree, a tree with the highest-grade Primordial Spiritual Root. Their value is no less than that of the Ginseng Fruit.

It's important to know that the three types of peaches in the Peach Garden are merely descendants of the original Peach Tree. If even the descendants of the original Peach Tree are so coveted by immortals, one can only imagine how precious the true original Peach is.

However, the naturally occurring peaches are merely an appetizer.

"Slap! Slap!"

The Jade Emperor clapped his hands, and another maidservant stepped forward, holding a cup of tea in her hands.

The teacup is neither gold nor jade, but is made of a crystal with a chaotic aura. The tea aroma wafts from the cup, and countless purple deities roam in the tea water.

"This tea is called Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea, which is produced by the Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea Tree, a primordial spiritual root. When I left Zixiao Palace, I took nine catties and nine taels from the Zixiao Palace's treasury. My nephew is an honored guest, so I should serve him the most precious divine tea."

The Jade Emperor smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for Fang Yang to taste it.

"This tea not only nourishes the primordial spirit, but also permanently enhances a person's comprehension."

Fang Yang's heart stirred slightly. He had seen the Primordial Enlightenment Tea in the records of the Myriad Laws Pavilion. According to the records, only the Hongjun Ancestor possessed this tea, and even the Tongtian Sect Leader had only obtained three catties of it.

He secretly guessed that the Jade Emperor had probably deduced some heavenly secret by bringing out this treasure to entertain him.

Fang Yang was not one for formalities; when the Jade Emperor offered him the Primordial Enlightenment Tea, he couldn't possibly refuse.

He raised his hand, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and immediately, a mysterious power entered his body, awakening the supernatural abilities within him.

Rumble!

Without Fang Yang doing anything, the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he was practicing began to cultivate automatically.

This kind of cultivation is entirely based on the inherent principles of the technique, requiring neither Fang Yang's comprehension nor his internal energy manipulation.

His physical body and spirit underwent earth-shattering changes.

The Undying Demon God Technique advanced the fastest. His flesh, bones, and internal organs were constantly transforming. The blood in his veins surged like rivers, his flesh was transformed by laws, and his internal organs evolved into divine palaces. Five deities of the five internal organs were condensed.

Every drop of his essence and every breath of his vital energy possessed boundless vitality. He could even transform a single breath into an incarnation.

His sea of consciousness was like the creation of the world; a spiritual world actually appeared within it.

The spiritual world is a starry sky. Essence transforms into the sun, Qi into the moon, and spirit into stars. The celestial bodies revolve within the spiritual world, forming Fang Yang's primordial spirit.

Without experiencing any pain, he broke through to the fourth level of the Undying Demon God Technique.

This was only the Undying Demon God Technique; Fang Yang's other supernatural abilities also achieved breakthroughs. His various supernatural techniques reached a new level. His own magical power surged by leaps and bounds, increasing ninefold, reaching the peak of his current realm.

The Jade Emperor sensed the aura emanating from Fang Yang and was secretly alarmed. When he was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he was definitely not as strong as Fang Yang. If he were still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from Fang Yang.

"Such profound foundation! Junior Nephew Fang Yang doesn't need to prove himself as a Great Luo Immortal to possess strength comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The Sage Tongtian's insight is truly astute."
