Chapter 1219 - 848: Refining the Peach Tree of Immortality

At this moment, thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen’s mind. He closed the scroll and began to ponder the mysteries of the Three Lights Divine Water: "The Queen Mother of the West asked me to condense the Three Lights Divine Water, which gives me a chance to approach the Peach Tree. Could I have an opportunity to possess the Peach Tree?"

Zhang Chen silently deduced his idea. Firstly, this idea seemed very feasible with a high success rate due to two key points: first, the True Spirit of the Peach Tree had already been heavily damaged; second, he possessed the Authority of the Five Elements. As long as he could lure the True Spirit of the Peach Tree to reveal itself in front of him, he could suppress it.

"The key now is the Queen Mother of the West. If the disturbance attracts the Queen Mother of the West, even though she’s heavily wounded, she could still kill me with a flick of her finger." Zhang Chen’s mind flickered with countless thoughts, and as he pondered whether to take the risk, the flames under the alchemy furnace before him swirled into the form of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, saying: "Jia Shiba, hurry and help me out of this bind."

"Aren’t you locked below? How did you manage to show your presence and come out?" Zhang Chen looked at Jia Shiba, who appeared before him, his eyes full of panic. If the Queen Mother of the West noticed this, wouldn’t it be disastrous?

"This is just an incarnation of mine; my True Body is still locked below. Don’t panic, I’ve sensed that the old hag Queen Mother of the West has already fallen asleep. Quickly help me break free, and I’ll assist you in achieving immortality." The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit said.

"The Queen Mother of the West has fallen asleep?" Zhang Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Indeed, the Queen Mother of the West has fallen asleep and self-sealed her injuries. Unless a major disturbance arises, she won’t wake up." The urgency in the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s voice was palpable: "This is a rare opportunity not to be missed, quickly assist me, don’t delay the timing."

Looking at the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, Zhang Chen’s thoughts were not on helping it, but rather on the Peach Tree. That Peach Tree was of Innate Wood Attribute, while the Heaven-Opening Spirit before him was of Innate Fire Attribute. Fire conquers wood as per the Heavenly Dao cycle; he possessed the Authority of the Five Elements. If aided by the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, perhaps he could destroy the True Spirit of the Peach Tree, then replace it with his own Primordial Spirit.

As for the gratitude towards the cultivation and favor shown by the Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Chen didn’t dare to conform. Since the Queen Mother of the West had made him a scapegoat, why should he feel indebted?

Moreover, by building a sacrificial altar on the Dragon Vein of Kunlun Mountain, what kind of karmic force did he incur? He was merely a pawn for the Queen Mother of the West, and if it weren’t for his skills in evading Celestial Punishment, he might have already died.

Zhang Chen was the first to disbelieve if anyone claimed the Queen Mother of the West didn’t know the power of Celestial Punishment.

If he had that strength, he would have confronted the Queen Mother of the West long ago.

"If I rescue it now, it’s still not safe. What if the Queen Mother of the West is pretending to sleep? Wouldn’t that complicate things? If I could secretly ally with the three Innate Spirits outside and lead them to fight against the Queen Mother of the West, pulling her away from Kunlun Mountain, only then would it be the best time to execute my plan." Zhang Chen thought to himself, unwilling to take any risks.

Besides, he speculated that the Queen Mother of the West must be using a Secret Technique for self-sealing and healing. If interrupted hastily, she would certainly suffer further injuries, making his safety more assured.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen said to the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit: "You should calm down for now and let me find a safe strategy. Do not disturb me further."

Zhang Chen flicked his finger, extinguishing a trace of consciousness of the Innate Fire Spirit before him using his Fire Attribute Authority, then sat in front of the alchemy furnace to meditate: "How do I deliver the message of the Queen Mother of the West’s severe injuries and sleep to the ears of those three Innate Spirits?"

Zhang Chen didn’t even know where those three Innate Spirits lived, so how could he convey the message?

"I need to seek help from Lady Biyun. Although I don’t know where those three Innate Spirits reside, Lady Biyun has lived in Kunlun Mountain for countless years and is the Queen Mother of the West’s right hand. As logic dictates, Lady Biyun should be aware." Zhang Chen paused to think before deciding to find Lady Biyun.

Lady Biyun was commissioned by the Queen Mother of the West to weave a light gauze that contained mysterious sealing power. Zhang Chen was also astonished upon seeing it, as the gauze was quite unique.

"Biyun." Zhang Chen waved to Lady Biyun from afar.

Lady Biyun paused her work and approached Zhang Chen: "What is the matter?"

"When you have time, return to the Medicine Hall to concoct some elixirs for me." Zhang Chen hinted, afraid to speak openly in an unshaded place, lest he alarm the Queen Mother of the West.

Lady Biyun was astute and understood the implication, nodding: "You’re shouldering crucial duties for the Queen Mother of the West; your matters are far more important than mine. Let me first prepare the elixirs for you."

After speaking, Lady Biyun followed Zhang Chen to the great hall, then directly into the area beneath the alchemy furnace, saying to Zhang Chen: "What urgent matter compelled you to discuss here?"

"Are you aware of the origins of the three Demon Gods who attacked the Queen Mother of the West that day?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The Queen Mother of the West mentioned those three Demon Gods to me; one is called the Star Mover, another the Fire God, and the third the Power God. These three Demon Gods are formidable enemies of the Queen Mother of the West, under the protection of the Heavenly Dao. While the Queen Mother of the West has pursued them multiple times, they have always eluded capture. Their abode is so unique that even the Queen Mother of the West finds it troublesome and is unwilling to waste excessive energy," Lady Biyun explained.

"Do you know the dwelling place of those three Demon Gods?" Zhang Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, Lady Biyun’s heart skipped a beat, as if she had understood something, and she dumbly nodded her head, "Of course I know."

"I want to convey the news of the Queen Mother of the West’s injury and her entrapment in slumber to those three Demon Gods. Do you have any means?" Zhang Chen inquired.

Upon hearing this, Lady Biyun fell into silence, and after a long while, she said, "Do you know what fate would await us if this news leaks out?"

"Nothing more than being skinned alive and set aflame on a heavenly lamp. I’ve had enough of this life. We might be able to endure in silence, but Shun is still young. We need to find a way out for Shun." Zhang Chen’s voice was filled with heaviness.

Lady Biyun remained silent for a long time, then stared at Zhang Chen with bright eyes, "How confident are you?"

Zhang Chen smiled without saying a word. Seeing this, Lady Biyun also smiled, "Leave this matter to me. Our family should indeed take a gamble. If we succeed, it would be great; if we fail, it’s just death, nothing to fear."

Zhang Chen nodded, "Rest assured, I will arrange everything properly."

Lady Biyun did not say much more, only leaving the alchemy furnace to begin preparations for refining pills. Once Lady Biyun finished crafting the pill, she disappeared into the Medicine Hall, leaving Zhang Chen sitting in the grand hall, slowly spreading out the scroll in his hand, pondering over the construction the Queen Mother of the West wished to build.

"It truly is strange that the Queen Mother of the West also understands Feng Shui Secret Techniques. Moreover, these Feng Shui Secret Techniques harness the Dragon Vein of Kunlun Mountain, forming an unprecedentedly large pattern. Once this pattern is constructed, I will surely face heavenly retribution again." Zhang Chen pondered for a long time and already had a conjecture in his heart. At this moment, he felt somewhat restless. Although he did not fear celestial punishment, he could not just recklessly defy so!

Both the Ancient Timespace and the future times are governed by the same Heavenly Dao. The sins I committed in the Ancient Timespace would sooner or later have to be repaid!

As countless thoughts churned in Zhang Chen’s mind, he scrutinized the pattern before him, always feeling that something was off with what the Queen Mother of the West wanted him to construct. But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was amiss.

"I cannot defy the orders of the Queen Mother of the West. Even if it leads into a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I must continue. I have no choice." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, picking up the blueprints and beginning to plan locations in the mountains, looking for Powerful Warriors to do the work.

The location for this construction is different from the Reverse Scale site from before. This place is built at the Pearl Spitting site. If Reverse Scale was to suppress the Dragon Vein, the Pearl Spitting site is to seize the Creation of the entire Dragon Vein, to receive the nourishment from the whole Dragon Vein.

"Does the Queen Mother of the West want to nurture herself using the entire Dragon Vein?" Zhang Chen found it difficult to deduce the use of this Feng Shui Grand Array.

Facing a Dragon Vein, a Grand Array is truly unnecessary. Let alone a Grand Array, even an Innate Grand Array won’t work. Only a Feng Shui Grand Array can influence the power of the Dragon Vein.

"This pattern is extraordinary. Not only should the entire underground of Kunlun Mountain be hollowed out for a thousand miles, but various hilltops above ground also need constant demolition and reformation. It truly is a colossal project. But the Powerful Warriors involved in this must certainly suffer heavenly retribution afterward and may find it hard to enter reincarnation." Having calculated the locations, Zhang Chen instructed the Powerful Warriors to begin their work.

Zhang Chen then held a Feng Shui compass to supervise the direcion of magnetic fields between Heaven and Earth, while also taking out the Divine Technique of the Three Lights Divine Water to contemplate in secret.

This Divine Technique is not difficult for Zhang Chen. As long as he comprehends the principle, even entering the path at the Golden Finger Interface can achieve Perfection in an instant.

As for the experience points required in this process?

For Zhang Chen, he lacks everything now, but the last thing he needs is experience points, as he has plenty.

As Kunlun Mountain’s construction commenced, the Powerful Warriors constantly moved mountains and inverted seas. A drop of colorful water appeared at Zhang Chen’s fingertips.

With that streak of rainbow light appearing at his fingertip, a look of astonishment appeared in Zhang Chen’s eyes, "What an unbelievable stream! How can such heaven-defying things exist in this world?"

Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief. He was truly shocked by the Three Lights Divine Water. You ask why?

The Three Lights Divine Water has two uses. One contains the lethal force of sun, moon, and stars, capable of destroying souls and erasing spirits. The other is to resurrect the dead and restore flesh to the bones, enabeling vegetation to thrive, bestowing grace upon all creations under heaven, contained within the strongest vitality in Heaven and Earth, and already encompassing the Law of Life.

"The miraculous uses of the Three Lights Divine Water are endless. No wonder it can bestow grace upon the Innate Spirit Root. With this Divine Water, the growth speed of my Heaven-Reaching Jianmu and Tree of Life is bound to increase dramatically." Zhang Chen praised endlessly.
