The moment Yi Tianxing stepped into the Peach Blossom Forbidden Zone, he felt the pink mist begin to cling to him—the Peach Blossom Miasma seeping into his body effortlessly.
There was no defense.
Protective qi? Useless.
The Chaotic Dragon Battle Robe? Also ineffective.
Even holding his breath or sealing all his pores to become a "non-leaking body" yielded no results.
The miasma invaded regardless—silently and without resistance. It passed through his skin, into his muscles, bones, and even his very soul.
"This Peach Blossom Miasma is no ordinary toxin,"Yi Tianxing murmured, frowning.
He stopped moving. Rather than advance, he stayed still and observed the effects of the miasma, trying every method he knew to resist it.
None worked.
This was not a normal phenomenon.This was a forbidden existence—a corruption of natural law.
Under normal circumstances, sealing one's breath and pores was enough to block all known toxins and mists. But now, it was as if those defenses didn't even exist.
The miasma penetrated his body as though nothing could hinder it, not even the laws of resistance.
Before long, a strange heat began to stir inside him.His mind flickered with lewd, indulgent images.
The toxin had begun to ignite the fire of lust within.Left unchecked, it could cause madness and torment beyond imagination.
"Poison God Life Orifice—absorb the Peach Blossom Miasma."
Yi Tianxing's eyes sharpened. With sheer force of will, he suppressed the rising lust and activated the Poison God Life Orifice.A vortex formed inside him, drawing in the invading miasma.
The Peach Blossom Miasma was poison—and yet, not poison.That duality made it a perfect fuel for the Poison God Orifice, which was capable of absorbing all toxins without discrimination.
As he drew it in, he could feel the pillar of the poison law within the orifice solidifying and growing.
But there was a problem.
Absorbing the miasma only intensified the inner heat.The more he pulled in, the stronger the lust became, like a fire threatening to consume his entire body.
It was as if he were stoking the flames rather than extinguishing them.
"Red Dust Refinement—turn the mortal into the divine!"
Yi Tianxing remained calm.
If the Poison God Orifice couldn't solve it, he had other means.
He activated the Red Dust Life Orifice.In its internal space, the Red Dust Furnace roared to life, swallowing the surging lustful energy within him.
With every breath, it refined those emotions into strands of Red Dust Silk, which merged with his hair, causing it to shimmer faintly with divine light.
The Red Dust Furnace could absorb the seven emotions and six desires—both from the outside world and from his own body.These feelings were its nourishment, perfect for refining divine silk.
He could even see the Red Dust Law Pillar growing stronger, becoming less illusory and more solid.
As the furnace absorbed and purified the lust, the burning heat diminished rapidly.His mind grew clearer, his will unshaken.
Although the heat remained due to the Poison God Orifice continuing to absorb the miasma, the effects were now completely manageable.He could survive here for years or even centuries if he wished.
Once the internal danger was neutralized, Yi Tianxing finally turned his attention to his surroundings.
He couldn't help but admire what he saw.
This forbidden zone looked less like a battlefield and more like a heavenly paradise.
Petals danced on the breeze, falling like snow from towering peach trees.The entire grove radiated beauty and serenity—a deceptive calm hiding deadly secrets.
Each Bridal Peach Tree stood eight or nine zhang tall, with lush foliage and wide-spread branches.Some were in full bloom. Others bore fruit—some ripe, others still growing.
Each tree displayed all phases of the fruit's development simultaneously.And yet, it did not feel unnatural. Everything seemed perfectly balanced.
"So many… This is incredible!"Xiao Mi popped out from the Wordless Heavenly Tome, her eyes wide with joy."Congratulations, Master! With this harvest, Da Yi's foundation will grow stronger than ever!"
Indeed, the trees were laden with peaches.
There were two main types:
Bridal Immortal Peaches – bright red, dazzlingly beautiful, like brides waiting to be wed. Each emitted divine light, brimming with vitality.
Vitality Immortal Peaches – colored according to age:
Red: 1,000 years
Orange: 2,000 years
Yellow: 3,000 years
…
Purple: 7,000 years – the final evolution.
Once a Vitality Peach reached 7,000 years, it would no longer grow stronger. It would wait to be harvested, then begin growing anew.
Most of the peaches visible now were already purple, meaning they had matured for seven thousand years.
Clearly, no one had harvested them in a long time—or if they had, it was barely noticeable compared to the vastness of the grove.
To a cultivator, a 7,000-year-old Vitality Peach was an unparalleled treasure.It could grant thousands of years of cultivation, in an instant.
And this didn't even include the Bridal Immortal Peaches.
Some of them now glowed with an aura that Yi Tianxing could feel even from afar.Just one such fruit could instantly elevate a person to the Yang God Realm—a terrifying prospect.
"Let's see if these Bridal Peaches are truly as miraculous as the legends say."
A glint passed through Yi Tianxing's eyes. He raised a hand and used a remote force to pluck one of the glowing, red fruits from the nearest tree.
As it landed in his palm, a delicate fragrance wafted up.
It was sweet, intoxicating, and strangely seductive—like a celestial bride beckoning to be kissed.
He didn't resist.
Even the Gourmet Cells within his body were reacting with hunger.Without hesitation, he bit into the peach.
Crunch.
It was crisp, juicy, and unimaginably sweet.
The moment the juice entered his mouth, he felt his entire body respond.Waves of Heaven and Earth energy surged into his limbs and bones.His blood and flesh expanded with power.
Inside his Green Cauldron, where his blood energy resided, a divine figure appeared—shrouded in lightning.
It was the Law Aspect of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Canon.
The immense energy fueled a thunderous transformation,refining impurities and tempering his physique.
1 step…2 steps…3 steps…
His body's strength rose in increments of dragon force.
Having recently broken through to the Sixth Body Tempering Cycle,he now not only stabilized his foundation, but ascended with no resistance.
Multiple Life Orifices opened within him.
One appeared on his chest—becoming a Blood Sea Orifice, brimming with blood energy.
Its Law Pillar expanded by nearly 70%.
Other orifices emerged but were instantly absorbed by those he already possessed—since they were of lesser rank.The laws and essence from the consumed orifices were still retained, enriching his core powers.
For example, the Heavenly Sound Orifice grew significantly,spontaneously generating a new divine ability:
Heavenly Sound Soul Search.
The only truly new Life Orifice was the Blood Sea Orifice.
It merged seamlessly into his Heavenly Emperor Dragon Diagram,becoming part of his life diagram—perfecting and strengthening it.
Even a Blood Dragon manifested within the diagram.
His true essence and spiritual power surged.His Primordial Spirit grew stronger and brighter.
His entire being was enhanced—quietly, but profoundly.
His physical strength reached 1,400 Dragon Force.
"Fascinating," Yi Tianxing whispered."It truly does allow for a leap in power. One bite and I've broken through multiple barriers.But… it's of limited use to me. At best, it thickens my foundation.It can't replace true cultivation."
He now understood the secret behind the Bridal Immortal Peaches.
Yes, they granted strength and insight.But like a gifted wedding dress, it only truly fit if one had the strength to wear it.
