Chapter 7

"Such a large tree."

Standing before a peach tree that towered about ten zhang high, wide enough for several people to encircle, with gnarled and knotted branches, Zhu Ganglie’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"What a pure and yang energy, this must be the Peach Spirit Wood."

Zhu Ganglie, trying to hide his joy, reached out to touch the massive Peach Spirit Wood, sending a thought of magical power into the trunk.

He discovered that the texture within the Peach Spirit Wood was like the meridians and blood vessels of a human body, allowing magical power to easily reside within, similar to the painstakingly refined restrictions of a cultivator.

Deep within this texture, a force was fluctuating, emitting a pure soul power that made the spiritual energy feel refreshed.

This confirmed to Zhu Ganglie with 100% certainty that the Peach Spirit resided within. Overwhelmed with excitement, he no longer considered the danger. Taking advantage of the absence of others, he left a bit of spiritual energy in his physical body and immediately used his magical power to cover his body with thick peach blossoms. His divine soul directly entered the Peach Spirit Wood, ready to absorb the Peach Spirit in one go, strengthening his divine soul and cultivating nine spiritual energy thoughts, becoming a great cultivator.

As soon as his divine soul entered the tree, he felt a massive force within the Peach Spirit Wood, pulsating continuously, like a human heartbeat or a giant source of spiritual energy.

This magical power was extremely powerful, making Zhu Ganglie feel as if he were facing a giant with boundless divine power!

"Is this a massive divine soul? Is this a god?" Zhu Ganglie, facing such a massive divine soul, had only one thought: something with such immense spiritual power could not be human, but a god!

"Huh? Why is this divine soul so pure? It's like a newborn baby?"

Zhu Ganglie sensed it, and suddenly, his divine soul intertwined with the massive divine soul. The massive divine soul did not resist at all, immediately binding with Zhu Ganglie’s divine soul.

Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt his divine soul inflate as if filled with air, a sense of power quickly surrounding his body.

The soul power lost in the process of condensing the third spiritual energy was instantly replenished, and his weakened divine soul continuously grew stronger. At this moment, Zhu Ganglie immediately felt the urge to condense the fourth spiritual energy.

Thinking of it, he did not hesitate. Zhu Ganglie immediately began to use the Taiyin Cultivation Technique to absorb the divine soul of the Peach Spirit and condense the fourth spiritual energy.

His soul power quickly merged with the soul power of the Peach Spirit, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. The fourth thought was almost instantly cultivated, visible to the naked eye.

"Surprisingly, it was so easy to condense the magical power. Great, my spiritual energy has grown even stronger.

A thousand-year-old green peach tree, having survived multiple lightning strikes, will produce such a Peach Spirit Wood in its core. A ten-thousand-year-old green peach tree will gradually form a human-like shape in its core."

"Lightning is the force of life and death."

As Zhu Ganglie felt excited, he couldn't help but recall the words of Changchunzi when he was secretly learning. However, facing the powerful Peach Spirit, Zhu Ganglie felt like an ant trying to shake a tree, able only to absorb the soul power to strengthen himself, unable to move the Peach Spirit.

"Bad, someone is touching my physical body."

Just as Zhu Ganglie was about to cultivate the fifth magical power in one go, he sensed a great danger. He immediately left the Peach Spirit Wood, his divine soul flying out.

The immortal maiden in the cave had already said that before becoming a spirit, the physical body was crucial. Any damage would mean no further progress, let alone the pursuit of immortality and freedom.

As soon as his divine soul returned to his physical body, Zhu Ganglie saw a pink cloud of mist enveloping the area around the Peach Spirit Wood for several hundred meters, with pink peach blossoms dancing and cutting the ground around them.

A few peach blossoms just cut the area where his physical body was, but fortunately, Zhu Ganglie had left a bit of magical power in his body and returned in time.

With a flick of his finger, the Tianxing Sword Pill shot out, lightly trembling in the air, slicing through several peach blossoms, turning them into a ball of fire, and colliding with the Peach Immortal Lady, who was driving the Brocade Cloud Sash.

"Little thief, I sensed the Peach Spirit's energy fluctuating. What's going on? You actually stole the Peach Spirit's energy while we were fighting."

The Peach Immortal Lady coldly shouted, driving the Brocade Cloud Sash to envelop Zhu Ganglie. However, the Tianxing Sword Pill shot out, breaking through the layers of peach blossoms in front of her and directly attacking the Peach Immortal Lady.

"Sword Pill? Don't just watch, this little thief is very powerful. Subdue him first before dividing the Peach Spirit Wood."

Facing the rapidly approaching Sword Pill, the Peach Immortal Lady was greatly alarmed, using the Brocade Cloud Sash to protect herself and shouting.

"Bad!"

Zhu Ganglie's eyes darted, seeing that the white-robed woman and Linghu Yelang were guarding the other side of the Peach Spirit Wood, looking surprised. He might be able to barely resist the Peach Immortal Lady with the Sword Pill, but if three visible cultivators attacked, he would surely die.

With a quick turn of his eyes, Zhu Ganglie activated the Lower Tian Chan Ling Ye, diving into a gap beside him and instantly disappearing.

"Invisibility spell?"

Seeing Zhu Ganglie disappear, the three were surprised, each activating their magical tools. A black blade, white sword energy, and flying peach blossoms tightly bombarded the area where Zhu Ganglie was hidden.

Then, the three immediately released their magical power to search their surroundings, preventing Zhu Ganglie from sneaking an attack.

All three were great cultivators who had reached the visible stage, and their magical power took the form of their cultivation techniques. Su Ling'er cultivated the Taiyin Ghost-Cutting Seal, so her magical power was a black, curved knife-like seal.

Linghu Yelang cultivated the Gourd Sword Technique, so his magical power was a small, white gourd-shaped object.

The Peach Immortal Lady's magical power was a series of pink peach blossoms.

After searching for a while, the three did not find Zhu Ganglie and relaxed, believing he had left. In the cultivation world, there were invisibility spells, but they could not fool cultivators. Since the three did not detect him, they naturally believed he had gone.

Zhu Ganglie, however, was hiding on a nearby peach tree, confident that his Lower Tian Chan Ling Ye would evade the three's magical power detection.

When the three withdrew their magical power and fully guarded against each other, he slightly relaxed, but also felt a bit regretful, thinking he would likely not have a chance with the Peach Spirit Wood.

"Peach Immortal Lady, you are just a wandering cultivator. Leave quickly, or my sect's elders will come and ensure your eternal destruction."

Linghu Yelang, holding a bronze longsword, coldly shouted at the Peach Immortal Lady. Although she was the most powerful among the three, she was just a wandering cultivator, so he did not look up to her.

"Heh heh, your sect's elders will take some time to arrive. A little thief has already stolen the Peach Spirit's energy. If more people come, your two sects will not fare well. After all, your two sects do not have techniques leading directly to the Golden Core stage, while the Peach Spirit's energy is a treasure even Golden Core cultivators desire. In my opinion, we three should divide the Peach Spirit Wood now to avoid further complications."

The Peach Immortal Lady's eyes flashed with anger. Although she could not resist the high-level cultivators of the two sects, she had to fight for the Peach Spirit Wood.

"No way!"

Su Ling'er's eyes turned cold, unwilling to make any deals with the wandering cultivator, the Peach Immortal Lady.

Listening to their conversation, Zhu Ganglie felt anxious, hoping the three would fight, giving him a chance to snatch the Peach Spirit's energy.

"Hmm?" Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt a familiar aura, turning his head to see a white silk ribbon flying like a giant python, directly wrapping around the massive Peach Spirit Wood.

"How dare you!"

Seeing the white silk ribbon, Linghu Yelang and the other two were both shocked and angry, wanting to attack, but the aura from the ribbon was terrifying, preventing them from even moving their thoughts or divine souls.

"Immortal Lady?"

Zhu Ganglie's eyes lit up, not expecting the immortal lady in the cave to take the Peach Spirit's energy. Although he did not get it, the immortal lady's cultivation should recover significantly with the Peach Spirit's energy.

"Take a piece of the Peach Spirit Wood and follow me."

As the white silk ribbon wrapped around the Peach Spirit's energy, a thought echoed in Zhu Ganglie's mind.

Without hesitation, Zhu Ganglie moved the Sword Pill in his hand, a sword light slicing through the Peach Spirit Wood, cutting off a segment about ten meters long. He stepped onto the white silk ribbon and flew away.
