Chapter 43 Cleaning Up The Peach Garden
Chapter 43: Cleaning the Peach Blossom Garden
"We are the celestial officials of the Clear Sky Bureau, and according to tradition, we have come to clean the Peach Blossom Garden."
After speaking, they handed over the seal of the Clear Sky Chief and related documents.
The guarding deity examined them and found no issues, so he relaxed and let go of his own aura.
"Wasn't it the old goat who used to clean the Peach Blossom Garden? Why has there been a change?" the deity casually asked.
Xia Yi explained, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang is currently in seclusion, preparing to transcend the Three Heavenly Tribulations. So, the position of Clear Sky Chief is temporarily taken over by me."
"I see."
The deity nodded and stopped asking further questions.
As soon as they entered the Peach Blossom Garden, an extremely pure spiritual energy rushed towards them.
Xia Yi took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed and energized.
"So, this is the legendary Innate spiritual energy..."
Since the war between witches and demons shattered the primordial chaos, Innate spiritual energy gradually transformed into acquired spiritual energy, making it increasingly difficult for living beings to cultivate.
The most obvious change was that in the past, transcending tribulations only required facing the Thunder Tribulation, and after successfully transcending, there was no need to temper the Primordial Spirit or condense the infant.
But now, in order to cultivate into an immortal, one must overcome the Three Calamities.
After transcending the Three Calamities, one must also gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon to temper the Primordial Spirit into an infant.
The difficulty has increased by a hundredfold.
Currently, there are only a few Grotto-Heavens and blessed lands in the Three Realms that still possess Innate Spirit Veins, such as the Five Manor Temple, the Western Pure Land, and Penglai.
Naturally, the Heavenly Court also has Innate Spirit Veins, such as the Peach Blossom Garden and the Jade Pool.
In addition, there is the Three Pure Realms where the Three Pure Ones reside.
Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Court actually has thirty-six heavenly layers. The thirty-fourth layer is the Taiqing Heaven, also known as the Taichi Heaven, which is the Grotto-Heaven of the Taiqing Saint Laozi.
The thirty-fifth layer is the Shangqing Heaven, also known as the Yuyu Heaven, which is the residence of the Shangqing Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The thirty-sixth layer is the Yuqing Heaven, also known as the Qingwei Heaven, which is the residence of the Yuqing Saint Yuanshi Tianzun.
These three great Saints, except for the Taiqing Saint who resides in the Taichi Heaven to support the Heavenly Court, do not live in the other two heavens.
Yuanshi Tianzun resides on Mount Kunlun, while Tongtian Jiaozhu resides on the Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea.
These three heavenly layers are not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. In order to show respect to the three great Saints, the Jade Emperor has always claimed that the Heavenly Court only has thirty-three heavenly layers.
"By cultivating here for one day, it is equivalent to half a year outside!" Xia Yi was shocked.
He instinctively absorbed the surrounding Innate spiritual energy and tempered his infant.
Under the nourishment of the Innate spiritual energy, the Primordial Spirit infant revealed a joyful expression, and the features on its face became clearer.
"Let's start cleaning then. Remember, it's better to spend more time and clean thoroughly!" Xia Yi instructed.
"We understand, sir!"
The Sweeping Immortal Officials showed a clear understanding.
Cleaning the Peach Blossom Garden is a hidden benefit of the Clear Sky Bureau, so naturally, they would take the opportunity to clean for a little longer.
After all, this is their only chance to come into contact with Innate spiritual energy.
The Peach Blossom Tree, like the laurel tree on the Taiyin Star, is one of the ten Innate Spirit Roots. However, it suffered a calamity and transformed into three thousand six hundred peach trees.
The first one thousand two hundred trees have small flowers and tiny fruits, ripening every three thousand years.
The middle one thousand two hundred trees have abundant flowers and sweet fruits, ripening every six thousand years.
The last one thousand two hundred trees have purple patterns and fragrant cores, ripening every nine thousand years.
Xia Yi had tasted a peach that ripened every three thousand years, and just thinking about it made his mouth water.
With so many peach trees, there are also a lot of withered branches and fallen leaves.
The fairies are only responsible for taking care of and picking the peaches, so the task of cleaning naturally falls on the Clear Sky Bureau.
As you go further in, the innate spiritual energy becomes more concentrated, mixed with the fragrance of peaches. Even a slight sniff gives a moist and refreshing feeling, as if the gentle breeze could carry you away. Just standing there, Xia Yi feels a reluctance to move.
The Peach Garden is a sacred place and Immortal Law Divine Abilities cannot be used here, for fear of damaging the peaches. Therefore, the Sweeping Immortal Officials have to manually clean the area.
The immortal peach trees, which have been growing for three thousand years, are not tall but emit a silver light. The branches twist and turn like coiling dragons, with peaches hanging in groups of two or three. They are pink with a hint of pale gold and emit a fragrant scent.
Xia Yi takes out a broom and sweeps up the emerald-like fallen leaves on the ground.
At the same time, he continues to absorb the spiritual energy and refine his primordial spirit.
After all, the next cleaning won't happen for several years.
...
After being busy for a long time, Xia Yi has accumulated a small mountain of fallen leaves and branches from his cleaning. He then takes out a storage bag and collects them.
Due to the robbery of the peach trees, these fallen leaves and branches have no value and will eventually be thrown into the chaotic pool of the Taiyutian to be destroyed.
After about two days, the front part of the one thousand two hundred peach trees has been cleaned.
Xia Yi has gained a lot, and the primordial spirit in his Violet Palace has become more refined.
The middle one thousand two hundred trees ripen every six thousand years.
The innate spiritual energy here is even more concentrated, and the other Sweeping Immortal Officials, who are at the Soul Formation stage, can barely withstand it.
They dare not absorb too much, fearing that the violent spiritual energy will destroy their dantian and cause their primordial spirit to scatter.
"In that case, you all continue cleaning on the outskirts!" Xia Yi says.
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone is delighted, so they continue cleaning on the outskirts while absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.
"Wait, why do I remember that there were land guardians in the Peach Garden in Journey to the West? Why haven't I seen any? Could it be that they haven't been appointed yet?" Xia Yi thinks more and more that this is possible.
With the existence of the Primordial World, he can continuously create avatars.
If he can obtain the position of land guardian in the Peach Garden, then he will have a continuous supply of innate spiritual energy for cultivation.
Looking at the entire Three Realms, only the direct disciples of the Great Sect have such treatment.
There are no bottlenecks from the early stage of Earth Immortal to the peak of Earth Immortal. The only thing to do is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine the primordial spirit, allowing it to grow into a Perfected Being.
Even with diligence, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.
If one wants to collect divine materials and refine Law Treasures along the way, it would take even more time.
After all, if an immortal wants to refine a Law Treasure, it would take at least a hundred years, and sometimes even thousands of years.
Innate spiritual energy cannot be taken out of the Peach Garden.
Once outside the Peach Garden, it would gradually transform into postnatal spiritual energy under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court is not worried that someone will steal the innate spiritual energy.
After all, the Heavenly Court is the Sacred Land of the Three Realms, and postnatal spiritual energy is already abundant.
Xia Yi's heart moves as he takes out the "Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure" he obtained from the Primordial World, the Mountain and River Map!
He throws the landscape painting up, instantly attracting countless spiritual energy into it, forming a vortex of spiritual energy.
Soon, the Mountain and River Map stores a considerable amount of innate spiritual energy.
However, he doesn't dare to collect too much, in case it causes changes in the spiritual energy within the Peach Garden.
For ten consecutive days, Xia Yi continues to clean.
The nine thousand-year-old peach trees are lush and tall, reaching hundreds of meters. The main trunk is cracked like dragon scales, exuding the aura of the Great Dao.
The innate spiritual energy inside has already condensed into liquid mist, showing how rich it is.
Even with Xia Yi's cultivation as an immortal, it is still quite difficult to refine the innate spiritual energy at this moment.
Just then, laughter from birds and swallows can be heard not far ahead.
