Normally, a cultivator below the Jindan Realm will explode upon eating a 9th-grade treasure like the Heavenly Peach. This is even two grades higher than the 7th grade heavenly peach Yue Xuexia got from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Even the 7th grade heavenly peach tree in the Heavenly Sword Sect was only enjoyed by the Sect Masters and Peak Masters, as well as elders and those who had gained a big merit for it to be exchanged. They gave Yue Xuexia just a sapling grafted from the main tree before. But the one he got from the little guy is something that was grown by it from a seed.
Yue Xuexia can feel the urgency in the cultivators who still remain in the Heavenly City. Even though most of the people had taken their leave to escape to safety, there are still those who chose to stay, as their home, family, friends, sect, and clans live in the Heavenly City. They do not have the heart to abandon their homeland.
