Chapter 40 Forget about wisdom or not, just talk about whether it's astonishing or not!
Sensing the fire-wood-like aura, Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he could even feel the faint, ever-flowing vitality within it.
Fire contains wood, which is exactly his attribute; this thing perfectly suits him, Xiao!
More importantly, he did not sense even the slightest bit of bestiality from the source of that aura!
Xiao Yan's martial spirit instantly possessed him, and pure white flames flashed in his eyes.
In an instant, he resonated with the aura in the distance, and a dazzling image with firelight immediately appeared in his mind.
It was a peach tree that was entirely crimson gold and formed from condensed flames!
Each crimson-gold leaf was ablaze with immense flames. As the flames burned, the fragrance of peach blossoms filled the air. Amidst the rising and falling of the flames, each peach, radiating pure energy, was crystal clear and shimmering within the firelight.
Sensing this, Xiao Yan's speed increased dramatically, and flames enveloped Ma Xiaotao as he fled at full speed.
"This is... the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Peach, a top-tier fire-attribute soul beast that was recorded as extinct?" Looking at the image transmitted by Xiao Yan in her mind, Ma Xiaotao's lips parted slightly.
Yan Shaozhe had never told her about this. She found it in some obscure corner, in the travelogue of the ancestor of the Ultimate Flame who led the Douluo Continent to resist the attacks of the sun and moon thousands of years ago, and only then did she learn about its origin.
"Legend has it that this kind of spirit beast is a rare treasure born of nature, formed from the essence of wood and transformed into fire, and is a physical entity formed from the condensation of flames."
It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, gathers the essence of the sun and moon, blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures once every three thousand years. The peach that it bears is a legendary celestial herb.
Its most unique feature is that it can condense the free-floating fire energy in the world into a physical form, making it a rare and precious natural treasure.
The reason for its extinction is that as the plant grows, its flames become increasingly terrifying. After ten thousand years, it will transform into a pseudo-ultimate fire, but the natal wood energy on which it depends for survival cannot withstand it, and it will basically burn itself to death before ten thousand years ago. "Speaking of this, Ma Xiaotao carefully examined the appearance of the peach tree in the picture, and was filled with disbelief.
Besides its dazzling appearance, the aura of the flames was even closer to the ultimate fire than before!
"After the ten thousand-year limit, this kind of soul beast will change from a stage every three thousand years to a stage every thirty thousand years. After ninety thousand years, the flames in its body will continue to transform. When it breaks through the one hundred thousand-year barrier, it will completely transform into the ultimate fire!"
It blooms once every 30,000 years and bears fruit once every 30,000 years. The fruit is just beginning to form and is not yet ripe. This tree before us is actually a Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Peach that is over 70,000 years old!!!
Xiao Yan: Hiss—
He gasped, his eyes filled with surprise.
Formed from condensed flames, containing wood within the fire, it materializes...
Isn't this the Chosen Soul Ring that Heaven created specifically for him?
No kidding, this item is truly destined for Mr. Xiao.
As the flames dissipated, Xiao Yan appeared a hundred meters away from the 70,000-year-old Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Peach.
This kind of top-tier soul beast should not be underestimated.
In Xiao Yan's view, soul beasts that are over 50,000 years old are roughly equivalent to fourth- or fifth-order magical beasts.
The differences can vary drastically depending on the quality, but generally speaking, this is largely the case.
But a 70,000-year-old pseudo-ultimate fire soul beast that survived its destined death is different.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and could clearly feel the extremely vigorous and resilient life force within the peach tree.
Ma Xiaotao instantly activated her martial spirit, with crimson feathers appearing, ready to burst forth like an arrow at any moment.
Reaching out slightly to stop Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Yan stretched his body and slowly stepped forward.
If it were someone of another attribute, that would be one thing, but against an opponent skilled in the art of fire, even with all one's might, the best one could hope for is to bump one's head against the sole of the opponent's shoe.
However, as soon as he took a step, Xiao Yan felt a fluctuation trying to establish a connection with him. Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Yan directly welcomed it into his body.
If they have no ill intentions, that's fine. But if they do, he can only let them understand what it means to have the perfect Dharma body of the Three Jewels as one.
"Supreme Lord of Flames, Master of All Fires, we warmly welcome your arrival."
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Xiao Yan saw the peach tree branches tremble slightly, and a large, reddish-gold peach with a glassy texture flew towards him.
Feeling the pure life force and essence of fire on it, Xiao Yan frowned.
Oh no, this peach tree's will to survive is a little too strong.
Smacking his lips, Xiao Yan suppressed his powerful attack, gently accepting the gift from the other party, his imposing aura dissipating.
He doesn't hit a smiling face, and he quite likes to resolve problems without bloodshed.
Since the other side doesn't intend to take direct action, he wants to see what they're really up to.
Soul beasts like these are generally quite straightforward.
"Lord of Flames, your journey here..." Peach Tree was about to speak again, but Xiao Yan waved his hand dismissively.
No need for nonsense. There's no smoke without fire. The tree is bowing so low; it must be asking for something from him.
Xiao didn't believe that his status was so high that a mere tiger's might could make this top-tier soul beast, capable of speaking human language, bow down in submission.
Similar to the sixth-tier magical beasts in Dou Qi Continent, in Douluo Continent, it takes 100,000-year-old soul beasts to speak human language, unless some special soul beasts can do so earlier.
If it were that simple, this thing would have died long ago.
"Hehe." Just as Xiao Yan expected, the laughter from the peach tree had a flavor somewhat similar to that of Yao Lao.
"You may not know this, but I can sense the flow of fire energy between heaven and earth, and I can also condense it into a physical form. It is because of this innate ability that I can perceive that you can greatly purify flames..."
Xiao Yan immediately understood.
It turns out I wanted him to come and help.
"You should know what I need." Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.
"If I break through the 100,000-year limit, I will bestow upon you the natal fruit containing all my cultivation, which will then be transformed into a soul ring." Chi Yang Fen Tian Tao's smile remained unchanged.
Upon receiving the message from the other party, Xiao Yan blinked.
Similar to the principle of a divinely bestowed soul ring, this thing can use a limited skill after surviving the tribulation of lightning to give the condensed natal peach to someone else.
"I don't necessarily have to acquire spirit rings this way. I actually quite want to acquire them through legitimate means. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head, but to be fair, if this were true, it would actually be better for him than absorbing a spirit ring in the proper way. This form of a divinely bestowed spirit ring would obviously allow him to come up with more fancy tricks later on.
"What difference does it make whether I die early or late?" Peach Tree gave a bitter smile. If it weren't for the inexplicable blessing of luck, he would have died from self-immolation due to the increasingly powerful flames ten thousand years ago. It was at that time that he relied on great luck to deliberately cut off a large amount of his cultivation, successfully gambling his life and suppressing it from 9 years to more than 7 years.
It was precisely because of that successful gamble that he became exceptionally sensitive to luck. He sensed that Xiao Yan not only possessed the destiny to rule over all the flames in the world, but also had extremely strong luck bestowed upon him.
His intuition told him that the fortune protecting the Starry Sky Forest, though at its zenith, seemed likely to dissipate at any moment. He needed to find another way out, or he would die sooner or later.
Even if this plan fails, Peach Tree feels that after being strengthened by Xiao Yan, it can also be sacrificed. If the other party becomes a god in the future, wouldn't it be able to be resurrected?
The peach tree was eager to try, and even if Xiao Yan had ulterior motives, that was just as good!
He had gambled on a one in ten thousand chance of survival, and having already severed his own life, he couldn't sever it again. But he could borrow Xiao Yan's power! He could simply give his cultivation to Xiao Yan; the seed had already been planted, and at worst, he would have to start all over again.
The peach tree said it didn't want to die; it wanted to live until the very end!
This is not a gamble of all or nothing.
Instead, it's about winning big, winning large, and winning hugely!
"Come on! I can't wait!"
Xiao Yan: (눈_눈)
Sensing the ever-changing thoughts in the peach tree, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a twitch.
This tree fruit is truly... an astonishingly wise!
Forget about wisdom or not, let's just talk about whether it's astonishing or not.
