Chapter 440
Rather than uprooting the entire tree and transplanting it, if it died it would be a great pity; this plant is a very perfect plant, and any accidental death of a single one would be a huge loss.
As long as you bring back some cut branches and seeds, you should be able to plant them successfully; otherwise, even transplanting the whole tree might not work.
"Are you that confident?" Luode sat down, cradling Yatianna in his arms as he asked.
"Don't underestimate the night elves; when it comes to planting trees, no one is stronger than our race, no one is more skilled than our race." Yatianna said.
The night elf race can be said to be the most skilled at planting plants in the entire Azeroth world, without equal.
Moreover, I have received the blessing of the Moon Goddess, the favor of Azeroth, and the aid of the wild demigods; Yatianna feels that planting this special peach should pose no major problem.
"Luode, if you underestimate the night elves' planting ability, I will be quite troubled, for though these immortals have long lifespans, the night elves' lifespans are each ten thousand years, even longer." Yatianna said.
"I understand; then for this banquet, I will collect all the peach pits for you and let you take them back to Azeroth to test, to see if they can be successfully planted." Luode nodded and said.
If Yatianna, with the night elves, could truly grow flat peaches, that would absolutely be a good thing!
Even if the original flat peaches cannot be grown, growing a defective one is also acceptable, after all, this thing, even the worst three-thousand-year-blooming variety, if eaten, can immediately become an immortal; placed in the mortal world, it would increase lifespan by a thousand years.
Luode still greatly anticipates what the night elf race of Yatianna might grow, perhaps he could also let Yatianna and Palladas and others study it.
If in the future I traverse to the orthodox Journey to the West world, I do not know what the flat peach trees there would be like, or even the primordial version of Journey to the West.
"Leave it to me! After returning, I will summon all the great druids and then discuss planting this new plant, or wait until the Azeroth adults are born, then she can also help." Yatianna said.
Luode nodded, then summoned a celestial official under him, instructing him to notify that all leftover peach pits must not be taken away, nor casually discarded, but all must be handed over.
The celestial official in charge of the flat peach banquet nodded, then respectfully withdrew; while cleaning the entire celestial court, some ordinary celestial officials.
And some ordinary palace maids and fairies on the Yin Star, Luode also retained, after all, these people are all service personnel.
When the flat peach banquet ended, tens of thousands of peach pits were sent to Luode, then handed over to Yatianna.
"This quantity is truly terrifying! It looks like we can conduct multiple experiments." Yatianna looked at the mountain-like pile of peach pits before him, curled the corner of his mouth, and said.
At this moment, several celestial officials also ran over, then bowed to Luode, some speaking with difficulty.
"Great Law Ancestor of the Heavens! You indeed do not know that if the branches of this flat peach tree are cut down, they will wither instantly within moments; it is, it is truly impossible to take them over!" The celestial official responsible for cutting the flat peach tree branches said.
"They will die immediately after being cut!" Luode said somewhat surprisingly.
"Great Law Ancestor of the Heavens, you are unaware; wanting to re-cultivate these flat peach trees, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother also considered this before, even the Grand Dao Ancestor considered this matter, but in the end it came to nothing; this flat peach tree can only grow on this land.
Earlier, you used temporal divine powers to make them mature, which was already a great divine power; if you want to re-cultivate them, it is indeed somewhat difficult." At this time, Maitreya Buddha walked over and said.
Regarding some hidden matters among the three realms, as Maitreya Buddha, he is still very clear.
"Oh! Is there such a saying? Then please tell me in detail, what is mysterious about this flat peach tree?" Luode immediately became interested and asked.
"Great Law Ancestor of the Heavens is unaware; in this heaven and earth, the only two spiritual roots born that can increase the lifespan of immortals and buddhas are one: the ginseng fruit tree, and the other: the flat peach; the ginseng fruit tree bears thirty fruits every ten thousand years, with the best effect, but due to yield issues, it cannot be used in large quantities.
Therefore, the many immortals of the heavenly court wishing for longevity must rely on this flat peach tree, so the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother naturally wanted to cultivate more, but all ended in failure; the cut branches and sprouts cannot be cultivated outside the flat peach orchard, and even if they leave the main body, they will turn to ashes in moments.
The flat peach pits taken elsewhere can indeed grow some things on other lands, but compared to those in the flat peach orchard, they are vastly inferior; this flat peach tree is key, and this land is also key." (Here the ginseng fruit tree, following the original, the setting version in Fighting God is too disgusting.) "Indeed there is such a thing; then how was this flat peach tree originally born?" Luode asked.
He originally planned to select part of the flat peach trees and move them to his private space; now seeing the situation, this plan seems to have come to nothing.
"When heaven and earth were just born, there was only one mother flat peach tree, growing here; after that, the first batch of flat peaches that grew had their pits planted in this flat peach orchard.
The largest pits grew nine-thousand-year flat peaches, medium-sized pits grew six-thousand-year flat peaches, and smaller ones grew three-thousand-year flat peaches.
After the land of this flat peach orchard was fully planted, no further flat peaches could be planted." Maitreya Buddha said.
"Then, where is this mother flat peach tree?" Luode said.
To grow new flat peaches, it seems one must select a suitable plot of land, and most importantly, one needs the seeds of the mother flat peach tree.
"This mother flat peach tree is indeed untraceable; perhaps only the Buddha Ancestor and Dao Ancestor know where they are." Maitreya Buddha shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Luode's eyes lit up; others cannot know the whereabouts of the mother flat peach tree from the Dao Ancestor or Buddha Ancestor, but he can.
Because the souls of both are in his hands, as long as Luode is willing, he can at any time inspect their memories.
"Great Law Ancestor of the Heavens! Wanting to cultivate a new flat peach tree is not so easy; this matter still needs long-term planning, but the peaches grown from these pits are equivalent to ordinary spiritual fruits." Maitreya Buddha said.
Having cultivated to their level, ordinary flat peaches are of no use to them, and even the ginseng fruit tree is the same; only some low- and mid-level immortals would consider this a treasure.
Luode thoughtfully nodded,. Then he sent off Maitreya Buddha, and afterward took the soul of the Grand Dao Ancestor from his private space, began to search the other's memory, and after a moment found information about the mother flat peach tree.
It turns out that the so-called mother flat peach tree is actually a one-time item; after the third destruction of all life, it suddenly appeared on this heaven and earth, and the land where it grew also produced some strange phenomena, after which many flat peach trees were born.
Its exact origin, even the Dao Ancestor and Tathagata do not know; in previous world-destroying events, there was no such thing as flat peach trees.
Luode conjectures that this flat peach tree seems to have been born from this world's self-rescue.
The greatest function of the flat peach is to let the consumer become an immortal and increase lifespan greatly; this world uses this thing to exchange for the Supreme Tathagata not to devour all life.
But in the end it ended in failure; this hard-won flat peach tree also became feed for their fish farming.
Seeing this, Luode helplessly shook his head; this world is also quite pitiful; if it were not for his appearance, it would truly be doomed, thoroughly devoured by the Supreme and the Tathagata.
This world has just barely recovered; let it continue to develop, restore its vitality!
Now heaven and earth have recovered, all things begin sustainable development, and in the future more beings of the level of Maitreya, Jade Emperor, and Queen Mother will be born.
As long as no more Supreme or Tathagata-like madmen are born, this world will continually strengthen itself, grow, and when the time is right, can also accommodate existences of the level of the Primordial God.
After the flat peach banquet ended, Luode again accompanied his son in the heavenly palace, then proceeded to Western Kunlun.
This heaven and earth has several places with abundant spiritual energy: spiritual mountains, the heavenly court, and also a place called Western Kunlun.
The spiritual energy here is also unusually abundant, nurturing a large number of divine beasts; previously this place belonged to the Queen Mother of the West, but now it bears the surname Luode.
The scenery of Western Kunlun is very beautiful; everywhere are various divine birds and beasts, and casually any place on the ground grows various rare medicinal herbs; spiritual energy is also unusually abundant. The outside spiritual energy has surged tenfold, while the spiritual energy of Western Kunlun has also surged, indeed it is several tens of times that of the outside, meaning that previously, the spiritual energy concentration here was several times that of the outside.
No wonder this place has given birth to so many special divine seeds, and even when reaching other regions they cannot hatch or even survive; being born in this place of concentrated heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, it is indeed impossible to adapt to the lower realm's conditions.
However, this situation has now changed somewhat, because the spiritual energy of the lower realm has begun to recover, and with the passage of time, the spiritual energy of this world will gradually balance out, and will never again enter an age of decline as before.
Luode discovered a considerable number of divine beasts here, and even found some of the Queen Mother of the West's unreleased transformed divine eggs; among them, some special insect demon divine eggs were collected by Luode.
Western Kunlun is a good place for breeding; now the spiritual energy here is abundant, and perhaps he can conduct a few small experiments.
Thinking of this, Mr. Luode went to the outside world, then began to capture some divine beasts, divine insects, or divine herbs with good bloodlines and abundant spiritual energy from various places, then placed them in Western Kunlun.
Because the power of the Queen Mother of the West here was uprooted by Luode, a large amount of land has become vacant, just right for breeding; to expand this land further, Luode used his spatial divine powers to expand the land of Western Kunlun by more than double.
If it were larger, Luode is not unable, but this world probably cannot supply enough spiritual energy here, so Luode also did not do so.
Afterward, Luode used his special ability to accelerate time here, for a full month.
Luode was on the outskirts of Xikunlun, accelerating time here, allowing the immortal beasts, insect demons, beast demons, and aquatic monsters to undergo savage evolution and growth.
In one month, thirty thousand years passed in Xikunlun, and a considerable number of immortal beasts were born here, along with a large number of insect demons.
However, Luode also discovered a strange thing: these immortal beasts born in Xikunlun do not possess high intelligence.
They cannot even undergo transformation into human form; this place seems more suitable as a breeding ground.
Luode collected some special immortal insect eggs and some immortal bird eggs, then set up a barrier in Xikunlun, so that even Maitreya.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, such beings, cannot set foot here; the future Xikunlun will become Luode's private breeding farm.
The special spiritual plants produced here can be used as alchemy materials, and some low-level immortal beasts here can also be used; although Tai Shang Dao Zu is dead, Luode has perfectly inherited the golden pill refining method he created.
After the affairs in the Heavenly Court gradually stabilized, Luode built a stable spatial portal, connecting this world with his private space and the Azeroth world.
After becoming a primordial god, through this special method, Luode can create such a portal, exactly the same in principle as the Dark Portal of the pirate world.
"Father, Mother, are you leaving now?" Luo Shaoyang stood before Luode and asked.
He had only been born a few months ago, and his parents were about to leave, which was indeed somewhat reluctant, but now he is the Heavenly Emperor of this world, although still very young, he is also learning some management of the Heavenly Palace.
"I have opened a spatial tunnel here; if you are willing, you can return anytime to take a look." Luode said.
"I understand, Father and Mother, you two take good care of yourselves; the child will look after this world well." Luo Shaoyang nodded and said.
"Keep it up! Mother can come see you every day; I will have Father set up the portal beside my residence." Tyrande touched her son's head and said.
"I understand, Mother, I will go see you and Father's beloved." Luo Shaoyang nodded and said.
Afterward, Luode activated the spatial transmission ability, left the Black Myth world where he had stayed for nearly half a year, and returned to Azeroth.
After returning to Azeroth, Luode immediately built a portal; the portal from the Black Myth world to the Azeroth world is right beside Tyrande.
"Thank you, Luode; now I can see my child every day." Tyrande said.
This child is the best gift the Moon God gave me; I have loved Malfurion for ten thousand years, yet I have no offspring—this bastard is either sleeping or on the way to sleep.
Perhaps it's time to end this feeling! Although Malfurion is my lover, we never married, so Tyrande remains unmarried.
"If you like it, that's good! What do you plan to do next? I mean your past relationship?" Luode asked.
The two had never discussed this before, after all, Malfurion has been sleeping in the Emerald Dream all along, but now it's time to bring it up.
"I plan to break up with him peacefully, after all, I never married him." Tyrande said.
Tyrande feels that Malfurion will not have much objection to this, possibly feeling sad for a while, but he will soon find comfort in the Emerald Dream.
Moreover, the body of the demon hunter Illidan is no longer useful to Sargeras afterward, so Luode generously put Illidan's soul back into his body.
He revived this demon hunter, then completely ignored him, directly throwing him back into Azeroth.
After the soul returned to the Emerald Dream in Azeroth, he used his own power to completely eradicate the Emerald Nightmare within, then awakened those sleeping great druids, and incidentally awakened Malfurion as well.
"Tyrande! I," upon waking and seeing Tyrande, obviously made Malfurion very happy, but the man beside him made Malfurion feel a slight difference.
"Malfurion! This time, I have something to tell you: you like sleeping in the Emerald Dream, one sleep lasts decades, hundreds, even thousands of years.
I think perhaps we should also end it!" Tyrande took a deep breath and said.
After hearing Tyrande's words, Malfurion showed some calmness, although somewhat sad, but still respected Tyrande's choice, silently nodding.
"I respect nature, I respect life; every life has the right to choose.
You chose to be with me, I am happy; you chose not to be with me, I do not mind." Malfurion said, then bowed to Tyrande and again paid respects to Luode, then turned and left the World Tree.
How would this great druid put it? Luode feels the Druidic Way seems not so good either!
If this guy went to the Black Myth world to cultivate Buddhism, he should also be a master! The seven emotions and six desires are almost gone.
"I just knew, really, I shouldn't have chosen him back then." Tyrande said.
"Also considered a satisfactory resolution to this matter; perhaps we should celebrate." Luode said.
"Good! I today dressed up in the style of the moon priestess from ten thousand years ago." Tyrande nodded and said.
Near Stormwind City in the Cursed Lands, a time vortex appeared, and a group of strangely dressed people appeared here.
"Here, what place is this?"
"This is a strange time and space; I don't even know where we've come! We were supposed to go to Draenor thirty-five years ago."
"There seems to be no Iron Horde here." (End of chapter)
