“Is this where the Peach Blossom Immortal is buried?”
“Uh-huh. This venerable one never lies.”
The Immortal Phoenix had been drinking the entire way, already polishing off ten jars of Green Bamboo Wine.
Seeing how she loved alcohol as much as life itself, Wang Xuanyi seriously suspected that the reason she hadn't chosen a successor despite staying in the Ancient Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years was simply because none of the candidates had brought any wine.
“Sigh, just let her be.”
Wang Xuanyi sighed softly, looking at this area that was completely different from the rest of the Ten Thousand Immortal Mound.
The place was brimming with life, with lush, blooming peach trees stretching out in all directions. The moment he set foot in this area, a refreshing fragrance washed over him.
To have such a place amidst the desolate and barren landscape of the Ten Thousand Immortal Mound, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a peach blossom haven.
“Who goes there?”
A soft, melodious voice called out. Peach blossoms drifted down with the sound, instantly enveloping Wang Xuanyi.
“Junior Wang Xuanyi is here to seek guidance regarding the secret techniques of the Peach Blossom Eyes!” Wang Xuanyi bowed, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, devoid of any fear.
“A man? Get lost!”
An annoyed, delicate voice echoed from the void, tinged with anger. Immediately after, a flurry of peach blossom petals pushed Wang Xuanyi out of the peach forest without causing him the slightest harm.
“Oh, right! This venerable one forgot to tell you that this woman was hurt by love. She thinks all men in the world are the same and absolutely detests them,” the Immortal Phoenix said, slapping her groggy head as she finally remembered.
“Wait, if she was hurt by love, she should go find whoever did it! What does that have to do with me? I didn't hurt her. If she pushes me too far, I'll burn down her entire peach orchard.”
Wang Xuanyi couldn't understand it.
What did this have to do with him? He had only come to ask a few questions. He didn't want her immortal inheritance, nor did he lust after her body. Was there really a need for such a temper?
“Hehehe, this venerable one wouldn't know. How about this venerable one lures her out, you trap her with your immortal eyes, and then... hehehe...”
The Immortal Phoenix nudged Wang Xuanyi with her shoulder. Rumor had it that the Peach Blossom Immortal was born exceptionally beautiful, possessing a face that could put flowers to shame and make the moon hide in embarrassment—a beauty to be admired from afar but never defiled.
Countless cultivators had once fallen at her feet, and even True Immortal powerhouses had fought fiercely just to win a smile from her.
“I feel like you're not an Immortal Phoenix, but a vulgar phoenix,” Wang Xuanyi said, looking speechlessly at this improper giant bird. She was far too vulgar.
She didn't seem like a creature nurtured by heaven and earth at all, but rather like a street hoodlum.
“Hey, hey, that's going too far! This venerable one is an Immortal Phoenix certified by heaven and earth! How could I be some vulgar phoenix? Don't make me cry!”
“Sigh...”
Wang Xuanyi rubbed his temples and sighed. What was wrong with the people he kept meeting lately?
Then, Wang Xuanyi stepped into the peach forest again, only to be blocked outside by the peach blossoms, with immortal runes completely sealing off the path forward.
Seeing this, Wang Xuanyi didn't bother wasting any more words.
Since she refused to cooperate, he would just beat her until she did.
“Blazing Sun Scorching Fire!”
Opening one eye, a crimson flame erupted from his white pupil. It was the fire of the true self, capable of burning away all illusions, and it was more than enough to shatter the Peach Blossom Immortal's seal.
Had she still been an immortal, Wang Xuanyi would have been helpless. Unfortunately, she was merely a remnant soul of a True Immortal, and her strength was a shadow of its former self.
“Get lost!”
As the seal on the peach forest burned, an angry shout echoed from the void. The peach blossom petals lost their softness, transforming into sharp, cold-gleaming divine weapons.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The peach blossoms throughout the entire forest buzzed with sharpness, shooting straight toward Wang Xuanyi.
“I don't give a damn about your past. I only came to ask for a way to suppress the Peach Blossom Eyes, but you, old woman, just had to refuse to cooperate and force my hand.”
Wang Xuanyi spoke coldly as spiritual light erupted from his body. Several runes swirled around him. Facing the incoming onslaught of peach blossom petals, he waved his sleeve, summoning a massive wave of runes. His magical power surged, blocking every single petal.
When he stepped into the peach forest once more, the scenery before him instantly changed.
The vibrant, lively peach forest slowly withered. The thick trunks became dry and shriveled, and the bright peach blossoms transformed into sharp iron swords.
The signs of life vanished in an instant, leaving behind a desolate and lonely landscape no different from the outside of the forest.
At the end of the peach forest sat a stunningly beautiful corpse. She wore a simple plain dress, had a fair and lovely face, a pair of expressive and captivating Peach Blossom Eyes, and silver-white hair draping over her shoulders. She truly looked as beautiful as fine jade.
She was beautiful—truly beautiful, to an unrealistic degree.
No wonder the Immortal Phoenix had said the Peach Blossom Immortal was the only beauty capable of causing True Immortals to fight each other. Looking at her now, it was indeed true.
“Well? This venerable one wasn't lying, was I?”
The Immortal Phoenix nudged Wang Xuanyi, her eyebrows twitching suggestively.
The Peach Blossom Immortal was attractive not only to men, but to women as well.
Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Immortal Phoenix first met the Peach Blossom Immortal at the Ten Thousand Immortal Dao Discussion, she had been astounded by her beauty. It was as if she were the true masterpiece of heaven and earth.
“She's good-looking, but that's all she is.”
Wang Xuanyi said, his eyes completely devoid of any emotion.
Just a beautiful woman; he had absolutely no interest.
If he were actually interested in women, the old geezer would have been cradling grandchildren long ago.
“You rogue! You burned my peach orchard and spied on my true body! Even ten thousand deaths would not suffice to wash away your sins!”
At that moment, a phantom soul emerged from behind the corpse. She looked identical to the body, but carried an even more ethereal and refined aura.
“Tsk.”
Wang Xuanyi frowned and clicked his tongue. “Old woman, with which eye did you see me looking at you lustfully? Don't flatter yourself.”
“...”
“Tell me how to suppress the Peach Blossom Eyes, or I really will do something unspeakable to you!”
Seeing that she remained silent, Wang Xuanyi threatened.
He was still in a hurry to go to the ghost immortal to wipe out the soul brand, and he didn't have much time to waste here with her.
“Peach Blossom Immortal, this venerable one suggests you be cooperative. This kid has no boundaries,” the Immortal Phoenix chimed in from the side, her expression very serious.
The Peach Blossom Immortal pondered for a moment and chose to believe the Immortal Phoenix's words. A peach blossom mark appeared on her forehead, and she pulled out a white peach branch, saying, “Those born with the Peach Blossom Eyes possess a Natural Charm Body. Before they attain the Dao, only things of Yin and Yang can suppress their alluring aura. This is my immortal rune, inscribed with immortal spells and secret techniques, which can seal the effects of the Peach Blossom Eyes.”
“It would have been better if you had just done this in the first place.”
Wang Xuanyi took the peach branch, sealed it inside his storage ring, and then proceeded to collect the Peach Blossom Immortal's corpse as well.
“You!”
“What's the point of leaving a True Immortal's corpse behind? Besides, you still have an immortal inheritance. Since you won't give it to me, I'll just have to take it,” Wang Xuanyi said, acting like a complete rogue.
As the saying goes, if others give it to me, I'll take it; if they don't, I'll rob them.
That girl Zhu Huai possessed the Peach Blossom Eyes, yet there were no techniques within the immortal sect that suited her. This Peach Blossom Immortal just happened to be a fellow possessor of the Peach Blossom Eyes and had even achieved the True Immortal Realm through them.
It would be a terrible waste to let such a treasure go to waste.
“I am already dead. Why can't you just let me rest in peace?”
The Peach Blossom Immortal complained delicately, her sweet, tingling voice acting like a soul-hooking weapon that could intensely stimulate a man's nerves and arouse the most primal urges.
“How can you be so selfish? You're already dead, so why keep your immortal inheritance to yourself? What's wrong with me helping you find a successor so your lineage doesn't die out?”
Wang Xuanyi took the moral high ground and condemned her directly.
In any case, her strength had deteriorated severely, and she couldn't beat him anyway.
“Do as you wish.”
For the first time in her life, the Peach Blossom Immortal felt utterly helpless. This man's shamelessness was truly peerless.
