Chapter 113: Resurrection under the Peach Tree
The holy land of Yao Chi, and the oasis where it is located, is a long-renowned sacred land in the Eastern Wilderness.

The place is surrounded by dragon energy, luxurious purple air, dense spiritual veins, hazy fairy mist and beautiful scenery, just like a fairyland.

The holy mountain is majestic, the beautiful peaks are ethereal, magical springs flow from the rocks, magical herbs grow on the cliffs, and auspicious beasts lie in the mountain. It has both fairy air and wonderful scenery, and is magnificent and colorful, forming a sharp contrast with the barren environment of the northern region.

It seemed as if the last bit of vitality in the Northern Territory had gathered in this fairyland.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi hurried to the holy land.

Passing through a purple bamboo forest dotted with many magical herbs, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi came to the residence of the Supreme Elder who was proficient in medicine.

"Greetings, Master." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi arrived just in time. At this moment, an old woman who looked to be in her early fifties was looking after the spiritual herbs in the spiritual herb garden outside the medicine house.

"Yao'er, why are you back? Didn't you go to the Holy City?" After seeing the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, the old woman immediately stopped what she was doing and said kindly.

"Grandmaster, can you help me save someone?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi spoke with some anxiety.

"Who is injured? Why are you so worried?" The old woman asked curiously as she rarely felt any different emotions from the Saint of Yao Chi.

She was sure that the person the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi wanted to save was not someone from Yao Chi.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi immediately took out a large charred iron ball. At this time, the iron ball had cracked, and a charred meat ball could be clearly seen inside.

However, there was no breath of life emanating from the ball of flesh, as if it was just a mass of burnt flesh and blood.

When the old woman saw the charred meat ball, she was slightly surprised and asked, "What is this?"

Yao Chi Saintess said: "One of my friends seems to have failed in his tribulation and is in his current state. I can sense an extremely weak breath of life from within, and that breath of life seems to be constantly dissipating. Grandmaster, please save him."

After observing for a moment, the old woman reached out and tapped the meatball a few times. The meatball trembled slightly and released a chaotic Taoist aura.

"This is Nirvana of life and death." The old woman said with great certainty, and even two rays of shocked light appeared in her eyes.

"Life and death and nirvana? How could this be?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately frowned slightly.

Although Nirvana through life and death is a relatively common way of Nirvana, its success rate is very low. If there is no assistance from immortal treasures and the cultivators rely solely on their own strength, almost 98% of them will fail in Nirvana.

"Don't worry, let me take another look." After saying that, the old woman took out a mirror, emitting a soft holy light that shone on the charred ball of flesh.

Then, a chaotic mass of mysterious lines appeared on the mirror, making the old woman look puzzled.

Seeing this, Yao Chi Saint asked, "Master, have you found anything?"

The old woman frowned and said, "It's really strange that my magic mirror can't even reflect his true self."

Yao Chi Saint asked: "Master, I can't find his true body. Is there a problem?"

The old woman said, "This precious mirror of mine is a secret treasure that was specially refined for checking the body and finding injuries. No matter who it is, as long as he is illuminated by the divine light of the precious mirror, his body condition will be reflected in the precious mirror. Even if he is injured by the Great Dao, the specific location of the injury can be found."

Yao Chi Saintess said: "Could it be that the influence of the aura of the heavenly tribulation has interfered with the normal function of the treasure mirror?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "The aura of the heavenly tribulation on this blood and flesh Dao cocoon has almost dissipated completely. It is impossible for it to be the interference of the aura of the heavenly tribulation, unless the laws of the Dao are used to interfere with the detection of the treasure mirror."

Yao Chi Saintess said: "Grandmaster, is it possible that those mysterious lines are the shadows of the laws of the great way?"

The old woman did not explain, but just used the magic mirror to shine on the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, and a fairy figure appeared on the mirror. The figure was flawless without a single flaw.

"See? This is your current condition. If you are injured anywhere on your body, it will be shown on the magic mirror." The old woman pointed at the figure on the magic mirror and explained to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

After thinking for a while, the old woman said, "Life and Death Nirvana, outsiders can hardly interfere. Even if they interfere, the effect will be minimal. We can only wait for him to complete Nirvana and break out of the cocoon."

Yao Chi Saintess said: "Thank you, Master."

The old woman said: "Put it under the ancient peach tree and nourish it with the water from the sacred spring. Perhaps it can speed up its recovery process."

A smile immediately broke out on the face of the Saint Lady of Yao Chi, and she said, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandmaster."

The old woman waved her hand and said, "However, the ancient peach tree is an important place in Yaochi. Is this creature who is in the process of life and death nirvana worthy of your saving?"

Yao Chi Saintess said: "This man has extraordinary talent and has the potential to be a great emperor. I have invited him to become the guardian of my Yao Chi Holy Land. If he succeeds in Nirvana this time, there will be no more than a handful of cultivators in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

As the supreme elder of Yao Chi, the old woman naturally knew what terrifying level of talent a cultivator with the potential to be a great emperor had to reach to be called so.

Just like those young generation geniuses who are now widely known in the outside world, in fact, only a few of them truly possess the potential to become saints.

If the overall environment of the world does not change, only a few of those young geniuses with famous reputations will be able to break through to the level of king.

Even if the overall environment of heaven and earth becomes conducive to cultivation, it is still extremely difficult to break through to the saint level.

The barrier of the holy path cannot be broken by anyone except an unrivaled genius.

In the old woman's opinion, the previous talent of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was just that of a king.

After receiving a blessing in the old land of Yaochi and completing a transformation, he had the qualities to become a saint.

As for whether the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi could successfully cultivate to the saint level in the future, she couldn't guarantee it.

Now, she was really surprised to hear the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi say that Li Zhi had the potential to become an emperor.

The Holy Land of Yao Chi is not a force that has never produced an emperor, so it naturally would not boast that someone has the potential to become an emperor.

Today's geniuses, namely the Saint Body Ye Fan, faintly revealed the demeanor of a great emperor.

As for the others, in the old woman's opinion, they were exaggerating.

Even the owners of various Taoist bodies, the strength and bearing they displayed were not even a little bit inferior to that of the Great Emperor when he was young.

If the overall environment of heaven and earth for practicing Taoism remains unchanged, they will at best be able to break through to the king level.

If you want to become a saint, you need to go through countless hardships and pass through countless barriers.

After hearing what Yao Chi Saint said, the old woman thought for a moment and said to Yao Chi Saint: "Yao'er, bring it with me."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was a little confused, not knowing what her master was trying to do, but she still put away the charred meat ball that Li Zhi had transformed into, and followed him.

The two soon arrived near the fairy pond deep in the pure land of Yao Chi.

The water in the fairy pond is filled with mist, and the essence is like a rainbow, constantly overflowing, nourishing the entire pure land of Yaochi.

By the fairy pond, there is an ancient tree, as vigorous as a dragon, dozens of meters high, stretching towards the sky, rooted by the fairy pond, lush and green, with several fruits on it, rich and fragrant, the smell of which makes people's pores dilate. It is obviously a peerless precious medicine.

This ancient tree is none other than the Peach Tree in the sacred land of Yao Chi. During the heyday of Yao Chi, the fruits it produced were able to extend the life of peerless masters for a thousand years.

As the environment of the world changes, the Immortal Pond has also degraded. The vitality of the water in the pond has dropped sharply. It is no longer able to nourish the ancient peach trees to grow the semi-divine fruit that can extend life for a thousand years.

But now the fruits on the tree can extend the life of the king or the powerful by at least 500 years.

And under the ancient peach tree there is a crystal stone with nine orifices and eight holes on it, absorbing and spitting out the essence of the sun and the moon, as if it had life, and looked very magical.

Near the strange stone, there are orchids, dragon grass and ginseng, all of which are tens of thousands of years old, shining brightly and having an alluring medicinal fragrance.

However, the two did not stay there, but flew directly into the sky and came to a small world of sages.

Within the small world, a huge emerald green pagoda exudes infinite aura of the Great Dao.

It is the imperial weapon left by Queen Mother of the West - the West Emperor Tower, also known as the Fairy Tears Green Gold Tower.

At this moment, several beautiful middle-aged women with good looks were sitting cross-legged under the tower, each of them exuding a powerful aura.

Their faces do not look old, but their actual ages are almost all over 1,500 years old. They are all supreme elders of the Yao Chi Holy Land who do not care about worldly affairs.

I saw the old woman bringing the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi over.

One of the Grand Elders said, "Junior Sister, why are you here? Did something happen outside?"

"Senior sisters, Yao'er and I came here this time to borrow the power of the Immortal Tear Tower to help me investigate the situation of a living being." said the old woman.

"What kind of creature actually needs to rely on the power of the Immortal Tear Tower?" The supreme elders also showed a hint of curiosity.

The old woman said to the Saint of Yao Chi: "Yao'er, take out that bloody and fleshy Dao cocoon."

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi took out the Taoist cocoon that Li Zhi had transformed into.

Several supreme elders immediately used their spiritual sense to observe Li Zhi's situation.

Similar to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, she only sensed an extremely weak breath of life, and it seemed that there was no possibility of survival.

They will be annihilated directly in Nirvana. It is not like the feeling of vigorous vitality that is born after the success of Nirvana.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Elder of Yao Chi immediately mobilized a trace of the ultimate power of the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda to investigate Li Zhi's situation.

As the power of the Immortal Tower entered his body, a layer of mysterious Dao runes immediately emerged on the charred meat ball that Li Zhi had transformed into, isolating the imperial soldiers' detection power.

"Is this the scent of the fragments of laws within the Immortal Elixir? He had eaten the Immortal Elixir before his Nirvana, and it was the fruit of the Immortal Peach Elixir." Having sat under the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda for many years, accompanied by the ancient peach tree, they are extremely sensitive to the scent of the Immortal Peach Elixir.

"Could he be the long-lived little Taoist priest who cut out half of an immortal peach in our Yao Chi Stone Archway?" the old woman asked in surprise.

Yao Chi Saint Lady nodded and said, "It's him."

"If it's him, he may really have the potential to become an emperor." said the old woman.

Previously, after the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi completed her physical nirvana in the old place of Yao Chi, the old woman had specially examined her body.

I found out that there was a young Taoist priest with an extremely strong body traveling with her.

Now that the other party is using the elixir of immortality to undergo nirvana transformation, he will definitely be able to forge the strongest foundation of Taoism.

But soon, she began to feel puzzled. The probability of success in achieving Nirvana with the elixir of immortality should be at least more than 90%, if not 100%. Why did it seem like Nirvana was about to fail?

This puzzled her.

Afterwards, she asked the supreme elders to help channel the power of the imperial army and add it to her magic mirror to shine on the meat ball again.

This time she finally saw clearly what was inside the meat ball.

A fair and tender bald child who looks only three or four years old is sleeping inside the ball.

It looks like it's dead, without any sign of life.

However, through the magic mirror, no injuries could be seen on his body. It was an almost flawless body.

It seems to be a perfect body conceived by God.

After seeing the true appearance of the cocoon of flesh and blood, all the supreme elders present showed a trace of surprise.

It's just too perfect.

In Yaochi, it seems that only the holy spirit that is about to be conceived under the ancient peach tree can be compared with it.

"Put him next to the Holy Spirit under the ancient peach tree. Perhaps the divine spirit emanating from the Holy Spirit can awaken the dormant vitality in his body."

Finally, after discussion, the supreme elders decided to send Li Zhi's flesh and blood cocoon to the Holy Spirit under the ancient peach tree for incubation.

When Li Zhi's flesh and blood cocoon was placed next to the strange stone with nine orifices and eight holes, it began to autonomously absorb the essence gushing out from the strange stone. The originally dead silent cocoon suddenly flashed with a dazzling nine-color light.

Then it fell silent again.

Seeing this, the old woman said, "His vitality has been awakened, and it will probably not take long for him to wake up. Yao'er, if you have nothing else to do, you can stay here and watch over him. Don't let him accidentally emit a breath after waking up and destroy the peace of Yaochi."

Yao Chi Saint asked: "Master, how long do you think it will take for him to recover?"

The old woman said: "Maybe three days, maybe five days, maybe seven days, and the longest will not exceed one month."

"I will keep an eye on him." said the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

As the days passed, there was almost no change around the Yao Chi Fairy Lake.

It was not until twenty-one days later that the cocoon of flesh and blood around the Holy Spirit Stone suddenly stopped absorbing and exhaling the essence of the outside world.

A series of crisp sounds were heard, immediately startling the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi who was practicing nearby.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately set up a barrier outside the blood and flesh cocoon.

"boom!"

However, the cracked cocoon of flesh and blood did not come out like a phoenix breaking out of its shell. Instead, it was like a volcano that suddenly erupted, directly releasing infinite divine light and blasting the outer shell apart.

Then a huge breath directly broke through the forbidden barrier set up by the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

A nine-colored divine light shot up into the sky, creating a spectacular sight in the sky.

There are dragons roaring and phoenixes singing, unicorns roaring, cranes dancing, Kunpeng spreading its wings, golden crow riding the sun, fairies dancing, and fairy palaces descending. It is as if the scenes from the fairyland appear in the mortal world.

At the same time, a crystal clear child emitting nine-colored divine light slowly rose into the air, as if about to fly away.

"when!"

At this moment, a sound of great Dao suddenly appeared above the sky.

It seemed that the sound of someone knocking on the West Emperor Tower suddenly interrupted the child's ascension process.

"If you don't wake up now, when will you wake up?"

A supreme elder of Yao Chi appeared beside the Saint of Yao Chi and shouted at Li Zhi who was flying in the sky.

Li Zhi, who had his eyes closed, suddenly moved his eyelids a few times and then suddenly opened them.

Two rays of black and white divine light shot out from his eyes.

The divine light seemed to contain the ultimate deathly aura and the ultimate life force, causing the Yao Chi's supreme elder to immediately use his great magic to block the two divine lights.

This prevented the nearby flowers and plants from being harmed.

When the divine light faded, Li Zhi's mind recovered and he no longer glowed.

Suddenly I felt a chill and looked down. Li Zhi immediately took out a Taoist robe and put it on.

Then he quietly landed on the ground and said to the Saintess of Yao Chi and the Supreme Elder of Yao Chi: "I am Li Zhi, thank you two seniors for your protection. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

"Master Changshou, you are also the protector of our Yao Chi. There is no need to be polite." The Saint of Yao Chi said to Li Zhi with a smile.

And seeing that she stretched out her hand, it seemed that she wanted to touch Li Zhi's bald head.

Li Zhi was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and said, "Sister Yao Chi, can you prepare a place for me to stay? I still need seven days to recover my Taoism."

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately laughed out loud, and the sound was like the sound of nature, which made people intoxicated.

Upon seeing this, the supreme elder just shook his head slightly and left.

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi brought Li Zhi to a bamboo building located in the purple bamboo forest.

"Sister Yao Chi, see you in seven days." Li Zhi turned around and ran into the bamboo building as if he was avoiding the Saint of Yao Chi.

Seeing this, Yao Chi Saintess smiled and said, "What a lovely little brother."

Sitting inside the bamboo building and opening all the defensive barriers, Li Zhi began to practice martial arts.

Starting from the Lunhai Secret Realm, he advanced to a new realm almost every day. After seven days, his cultivation level had recovered to the fourth realm of the Dao Palace.

He seemed to grow up a year every day, from a little kid who looked three or four years old to a young man who looked eleven or twelve years old.

His jet-black hair grew back and he tied it into a bun with a purple jade lotus crown.

After putting on a brand new purple Taoist robe, a young Taoist who looked like a reincarnated immortal appeared in the bamboo building.

When Li Zhi unlocked the restrictions of the bamboo building and walked out and opened the door, he saw a familiar figure.

"Little brother Li Zhi, you are finally out." The person waiting for him outside the door was actually Sun Yi.

"Sister Sun, why is it you?" Li Zhi said in surprise.

"Why can't it be me? I heard from Sister Hu that you came to our Yao Chi, so I volunteered to come and protect you."

After not seeing Sun Yi for several years, she doesn't seem to be at all restrained or strange, as if she is still the outgoing, gourmet fairy from the Yao Chi.

Li Zhi also remembered the promise he made that year that he would invite the other party to the Holy City for a fairy banquet after coming to the Northern Territory.

"Little brother Li Zhi, hurry up, the Queen Mother is waiting for you."

Seeing that Li Zhi seemed to be distracted, Sun Yi immediately reminded him.
