Enlightenment Spiritual Peach!

Ling Tian was watching the small fruit hanging quietly from one of the almost dry branches of the tree, his heart a little agitated without taking his attention away. 

His hand moved and he slowly extended it, wiggled his fingers and surprisingly the small fruit gently fell towards his open palm, as if the wind gently lowered it down to his hand. 

"Enlightenment Spiritual Peach..." Ling Tian whispered and grinned with some emotion as he felt the fruit in his hands. This spiritual peach exuded light mysterious Dao waves that seemed to clear his mind at this moment, as if doubts were slowly being removed and he felt that he could find a solution to everything. 

This small peach that seemed soft and almost like a crystal fruit, was a spiritual fruit that bestowed enlightenment to whoever ingested it! 

Different techniques, cultivation methods, problems, martial skills, cultivation doubts, anything that has to do with understanding and knowledge can be solved and understood by refining this fruit! 

It is as if your mind is opened to the heavenly knowledge of the universe, with heaven helping you to comprehend whatever it is by supplying you with an unhindered direct realization and enlightenment impulse! 

A true fruit of heavenly enlightenment! 

However, Ling Tian was not excited about this, but about the other surprise of this spiritual fruit... once it succeeds in ripening this spiritual fruit of enlightenment, it can evolve into the Dao Thought Immortal Peach! 

There were different types of peach, but this Dao Thought Immortal Peach is an extremely rare and almost impossible fruit to find, with only about five immortal peaches recorded to have been found in all of history in the Immortal World! 

But what made this rare fruit so valuable and unique once it managed to develop, was that its main function was that it allowed a Great Emperor to reach the Supreme realm directly, helping him to understand the world's laws and principles! 

Another benefit would be that the cultivator who ingested it would gain a profound enlightenment filled with intense knowledge, enough to be able to break through an entire realm or comprehend a technique in its entirety even if it was incomplete. Even those cultivators who can no longer cultivate because of their cultivation talents would make a breakthrough with this fruit and their talents would improve.

However, the mere fact that this spiritual peach could become the Dao Thought Immortal Peach made it almost one of the top most valuable and coveted items in the Immortal World. Rivers of blood and mountains of corpses would be created once the existence of this spiritual fruit was known even though it had not attained immortality. 

If one planted it and cultivated it with various natural treasures, it would increase the odds that it could become the legendary Dao Thought Immortal Peach! 

It's just that the development of this spiritual fruit until it reached the immortal fruit was extremely long, so no one would wait millennia and millions of years for it to ripen. They would use it in times of crisis and need! 

"... and if I manage to do a formation with the law of time integrated?" Ling Tian suddenly had a crazy but entirely possible idea. 

If he managed to create a powerful formation where he could advance time within it, then he could use it to accelerate the development and growth of this spiritual fruit, even managing to shorten its maturation by half the time. 

Immortals live long lives, from the Immortal King stage onwards cultivators live a minimum of 1 million years, and this life expectancy increases as cultivation increases or heavenly treasures that bring vitality are refined. At the Supreme realm, Ling Tian felt that he could live at least 10 billion years, especially having refined natural heavenly treasures that increased his life expectancy. 

If Ling Tian, who already reached the Supreme realm once, and for the second time manages to reach it and refines this spiritual fruit once he has reached its ripeness... could he advance to the Awakening realm and enter divinity? It would not be strange if it could be a way to ascend to the gods' territory! 

The only problem would be that Ling Tian would have to deepen his knowledge of the Dao of Time, its laws and principles which are extremely just as difficult and almost impossible to comprehend as the Dao of Space. 

But Ling Tian suddenly had a strange intuition in his heart, his soul stirred slightly, telling him to keep this spiritual fruit as it would be important to him in the future. Not to break through the boundary of the Supreme realm to the God realm, but for something else... 

"Strange... could it be for some knowledge that I am unaware of now but I knew in my past life?" Ling Tian frowned before shaking his head. Either way, there's a chance that he'll recover more memories and might know something more about this spiritual fruit that he doesn't currently know. 

Ling Tian took out a special jade bottle that contained a large amount of vitality inside as there was a formation inside it. He made several seals and runes with his hands wrapping the Enlightenment Spiritual Peach, as if adding strange layers of protection before carefully storing it inside the jade bottle which was quite spacious. He also took out more than a dozen small formation flags and threw them into the air. 

Ling Tian made several seals and runes with his hands once again, consuming much of the force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, he bit his tongue and quickly spat out five mouthfuls of blood essence, fusing them with the seals before they enveloped the jade bottle, subsequently placing it inside his storage ring. 

"Phew... I didn't think I would ever use these preservation seals again, especially having a low cultivation level yet." Ling Tian let out a sigh with some tiredness before slowly catching his breath. His face turned very pale as he had made some ancient seals and formations in order to preserve the spiritual fruit, although he would still have to do it again some time later to strengthen the seals, Ling Tian would not hesitate to do it once more. 

However, this caused Ling Tian's aura to drop quite a bit for a moment, and his vital essence momentarily withered before a powerful life force began to quickly heal him. The twin spiritual trees in his heart quickly began to radiate their life energy, replenishing Ling Tian's blood essence and vitality. 

"Big bro-ancestor!" 

"A-ancestor, are you okay?!" 

Then, two small voices filled with worry reached behind Ling Tian, stunning him briefly before he calmly turned around and smiled at Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu. 

Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu were watching with worried and anxious expressions when they sensed that Ling Tian's aura had abruptly dropped, as if he had received a powerful attack that severely wounded him. Seeing his pale face and slightly agitated breathing both girls became much more worried... could it be that the hidden wounds the ancestor said are manifesting again? Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu could not help but feel more anxious and worried at the thought of the latter. 

Since Ling Tian had his back turned, neither could really see what he had done. 

"Girls, I'm fine." Ling Tian patted both of their heads as he saw their worried looks. The seals and formations he performed consumed much of his power, but in a short time he would recover without any problems some. 

Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li continued to feel worried at the sight of Ling Tian, especially his pale face. The anxiety to find Elder Deng Tianjin deepened further in their hearts; as powerful powerhouse of the Great Ascension state, Elder Deng Tianjin should have medicinal pills that could help Ling Tian, right? 

"They are...?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows as he saw four girls behind Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu, watching him with stunned and dumbfounded faces. Those four girls exuded all-natural cold auras probably due to their cultivation methods. 

Xuan Li blinked twice and shook her head, before quickly saying, "Ancestor, they are fellow disciples from the Ice Heart Essence Sect!" 

Ling Tian nodded, observing the four faces filled with some wounds as well as the small bodies of some of them. The oldest girl looked to be almost 20 years old in appearance, while the youngest one was about the same age as Lang Qingzu. 

"Ah! Huh! G-greetings, senior! I-I... m-my name is Zhu Rouwei and I'm a disciple of the Ice Heart Essence Sect!" Zhu Rouwei stammered at first before cupping her fists together in respectful greeting. She also bowed with much respect. 

"My name is Wu Xuemin, senior! I'm also a disciple of the Ice Heart Essence Sect!" 

"I am Fang Lian'er! Disciple of the Ice Heart Essence Sect!" 

"A-and my name is Ying Su... I am also a disciple of the Ice Heart Essence Sect!" 

Respectively, Wu Xuemin, Fang Lian'er and Ying Su approached and respectfully greeted Ling Tian as well, showing respect to their seniors. 

However, what stunned them was that this rumored legendary supreme ancestor of Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu's sect was... he was too young and extremely handsome!
