Chapter 1667 - Chapter 1649 – The Bride

For example, if an ordinary mortal were to eat a Bridal Immortal Peach, the tremendous power within it might theoretically propel them straight into the Yang God Realm.

But in reality, that wouldn't happen.

Why?

Because a mortal's body simply couldn't endure such a violent transformation. The result would be one thing only—complete detonation. The body would explode into a mist of blood, leaving nothing behind.

All power follows the law of gradual progression.

The Bridal Immortal Peach was no exception.

Take the Manifestation Realm, for example: one needs to condense three souls and seven spirits. These aren't things one can just summon instantly—it takes time and nurturing. Forcing that process would severely damage the soul.

And that doesn't even account for the later three tribulations and other trials that no peach—no matter how divine—can completely erase. No one is exempt.

What the Bridal Immortal Peachdoes offer is a tremendous acceleration.It smooths the path, reinforces your foundation, and can even let one soar through several realms in a matter of days.

With it, one might leap from Divine Sea to Life Aperture , and from Life Aperture to Life Diagram, perhaps even higher, without encountering bottlenecks—as long as they can endure the trials along the way.

That's the catch.

The Bridal Peach's power is wild and unrestrained.Beneath its soft, luscious exterior lies a violent storm.

The moment you consume it, that energy erupts, slamming into your body, your soul, your very consciousness.Insights into Dao, powers, law fragments—these all surge into the mind.

If your soul can't withstand it, it will be obliterated.Even your primordial spirit could shatter.

Yi Tianxing could digest it because he was already at the True Spirit Realm, and his physical cultivation had reached the sixth rotation.His foundation was firm, allowing him to easily absorb and refine the energy.

But for other cultivators? It would be incredibly dangerous.

"If you can't suppress the violent energy, eating it means death by explosion. A tragic end."Yi Tianxing reflected silently, now truly understanding the dangers behind the fruit's beauty.

If one couldn't neutralize its rampage, the peach was useless—perhaps even fatal.

The real value of Bridal Peaches lay in elevating the weak. If mortals or low-tier cultivators could consume them safely, they could break through natural limitations—a monumental gift.

With a single breakthrough, power and lifespan would both soar.

"Strange… this Bridal Peach has no pit. How does one plant more?"

Yi Tianxing frowned. He'd discovered a strange detail: the peaches had no seeds. Without seeds, they couldn't be planted anew.

Clearly, this was not a fruit for propagation.

Which left only one viable option—transplant the tree itself.

"Let's try digging one up."

He waved his hand. Dozens of jade boxes appeared, and with a thought, he summoned invisible forces to harvest all the peaches—both Vitality and Bridal—from a nearby tree. In mere moments, the tree had been picked clean, save for a few unripe, green fruits.

Next, he drew a war blade and slashed toward the ground.

Clang!

The blade struck—but instead of breaking earth, sparks flew, and only a faint line remained where it landed.

It was like trying to chop through diamond steel.

"This soil is tougher than refined steel…"

Even Yi Tianxing's brow twitched.

"Master," said Xiao Mi, seated atop the Wordless Heavenly Tome, "this soil is no ordinary earth. It contains countless Dao runes and restrictive formations. Every inch is protected. Unless you can break the formations, you'll never uproot the trees."

That explained it.

If transplantation were easy, Eternal Night's powerhouses would have taken the trees long ago.

Crack!

Yi Tianxing narrowed his eyes, then flicked his wrist. A cold light flashed as the Demon-Slaying Blade appeared. With a swift slash, he cut off one of the peach tree's branches.

It fell—but in that instant, the life force within the branch flowed backward, racing back to the main trunk. Within seconds, the branch began to wither.

"Master, quickly! Put it in the Celestial Orchard and water it with the Water of Life! Only that can preserve its vitality. Then you'll need Reincarnation Holy Elixir to sever its karmic link to the mother tree. Finally, irrigate it with Three Radiance Divine Water to help it grow roots."

Xiao Mi's tone grew serious.

This was no ordinary transplantation.

The Bridal Peach Tree was deeply bonded to its soil and origin. Without these three divine waters, the branch would inevitably rot.

Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate.

With a thought, he moved the branch into his inner world, planting it in an empty valley within the Celestial Orchard.

First came the Water of Life—stopping the branch's rapid decay.Then came the Reincarnation Holy Elixir—severing the branch's karmic thread from the mother tree.

And finally, a droplet of Three Radiance Divine Water, shimmering with the sun, moon, and stars.

The branch absorbed it instantly.

Almost immediately, tiny roots began to sprout and drill into the soil.It began to draw nutrients and regrow, turning from a severed limb into a thriving sapling.

Soon, it had reached arm-thickness, and buds began to flower.

"Excellent."

Yi Tianxing nodded with satisfaction.

The tree was alive.

From here, he began watering it with Celestial Life Nectar, a renewable resource—unlike the precious Water of Life.

Under its influence, the peach tree grew inch by inch, rapidly becoming a towering tree, its branches lush, its blossoms fragrant.

A new Bridal Peach Tree was born.

All this occurred in but a few moments—though the resources expended were considerable.

"Costly… but worth it. If I can transplant enough of them, I can create an entire Bridal Peach Grove inside me. The benefits to Da Yi would be immeasurable."

Yi Tianxing's eyes gleamed.

Once the Divine-Demon Battlefield ended, he would return to the Eternal World, and when that happened, Da Yi would finally soar to its destined heights—invincible and unmatched.

"But Master," Xiao Mi warned, "this won't be easy.The Bridal Peach Tree is a peak-grade celestial spirit tree, just a step below innate spiritual roots.Even with the three divine waters, you can only transplant one branch per tree.No matter what you do, the same tree can't be used twice."

Yi Tianxing paused.

Indeed, this species was extraordinary.Its rarity rivaled even the legendary innate spirit roots.

"Even so," he said calmly, "then I'll transplant one branch from each tree.Every tree adds to Da Yi's foundation.I won't walk away empty-handed from this sacred grove."

He would claim every fruit, and every tree, until the entire forest existed within his body. That was his decision.

Whoosh!!

Just as Yi Tianxing made this silent vow, something strange occurred.

At the base of the peach tree he had just harvested, a figure in red appeared out of nowhere.

The dress was bright scarlet—clearly a wedding gown.

And the woman wearing it—a bride.

But there was no joy in her eyes.Only coldness, hatred, and a sense of twisted despair.

In her hand, she held a blood-red sword.

Without a word, she lunged straight at Yi Tianxing.Her sword flashed, and a thousand rays of bloody light erupted.

The strike was filled with resentment and malice, surging from her very soul.

Her aura: True Spirit Realm.

"A Bridal Specter! Master, be careful!"

Xiao Mi cried out.

"These 'brides' are spirits birthed by the forbidden zone,shaped by boundless lust and sorrow.Each one is driven by relentless vengeance.They attack any living being they see.

Worse, their strikes carry a bride's curse—a parasitic malediction that consumes the target's vital essenceuntil nothing remains but dust!"
