Chapter 408: The Huge Peach Tree
This is indeed a dream.
Because Qin Changqing is really asleep right now, sleeping very sweetly.
There are many uses for the Great Dream Recording, and Qin Changqing can even dream for a thousand years and travel all around Zhou Tian in his dreams.
If he further deepens his accomplishments in this area, he might even be able to dream about the world where the Immortals reside.
This time, the dream that Qin Changqing wants to have is even more challenging.
He wants to dream about Tao Yao’s past life, or rather the life before her reincarnation.
Tao Yao, in reality, is now over a hundred years old.
But this doesn’t mean that she reincarnated over a hundred years ago.
When Immortals reincarnate, even if there’s an Immortal who reincarnates now, he might not be born for a few decades, a few hundred years, or even longer.
The mystery of this is extremely difficult to fathom.
This dream lasted a long time, and Qin Changqing dreamt of many fragmented scenes, as if they were pieces of cloth cut by scissors.
They appeared grotesque and disconnected, even more disorderly than any other dream.
“Husband, husband~”
It was not until the next day that Qin Changqing was awakened by Tao Yao’s voice.
Qin Changqing opened his eyes.
He saw Tao Yao’s extremely beautiful eyes, as enchanting as peach blossoms, gazing at him.
“Husband, you’ve been asleep until the afternoon~”
Tao Yao whispered softly.
Had he slept for that long?
Qin Changqing placed his head on her soft thigh: “Tao Yao, don’t talk for a moment.”
“Hmm!”
Tao Yao sat quietly as instructed.
Qin Changqing then began to piece together the various scenes and fragments he had obtained from this dream.
If this were a dream of an ordinary person, most of it would have been forgotten by now.
Even the dreams of ordinary Cultivators would fade and be forgotten a lot.
This is the characteristic of dreams.
However, Qin Changqing retained every detail and fragment of the dream through the Great Dream Recording.
There was too much useless information.
And he dreamt of too many things.
Even Qin Changqing took an entire afternoon to sort it all out.
After that, he sat up and looked at Tao Yao.
Tao Yao was a bit puzzled by Qin Changqing’s gaze.
“Husband, what’s wrong with me?”
Tao Yao asked curiously.
Qin Changqing took Tao Yao’s hand and led her into a peach blossom garden during the twilight of the setting sun.
At this time, the peach blossoms were about to bloom.
Qin Changqing still remembered that Tao Yao loved peach blossoms from the beginning, so he planted many peach trees for her in her previous residence. This time, he planted peach trees all over the mountains.
Qin Changqing came to a drooping peach branch, with a gentle movement of his hand, the peach blossoms on the branch slowly bloomed.
Tao Yao was captivated by this scene.
“Husband, it’s so beautiful~”
Tao Yao whispered softly.
Qin Changqing sniffed the floral fragrance, and now he somewhat understood why Tao Yao’s body always had a fragrance similar to that of peach blossoms.
As Tao Yao was lost in her thoughts, Qin Changqing successfully dreamt of her past life during his dream.
She was indeed a reincarnated Immortal.
But she was different from other Immortals.
Because in the dream, before Tao Yao’s reincarnation, her original body seemed to be a peach tree that never withered throughout the years.
In some fragmented scenes, her level of power seemed to surpass imagination.
Peach’s Heavenly Days, Radiant Brilliance.
No wonder, even after reincarnation, her name was still Tao Yao even if her memories had not been awakened.
As for why she chose to reincarnate and become human, Qin Changqing did not dream that part.
“Husband, it’s so beautiful~ Can you make the whole peach tree bloom? Pretty please?”
Under the peach tree, Tao Yao’s joyful voice rang out.
Under the peach blossoms, she indeed looked beautiful.
Her whole being seemed like a blooming flower – stunning and fragrant.
“Human faces and peach blossoms reflecting each other’s radiance.”
“Hmm!”
Qin Changqing walked over, and as he approached, the entire peach tree was already in full bloom.
Not only that entire peach tree, but the peach blossoms of all ten thousand acres were blooming as well.
Even the twilight of the setting sun seemed to pause for this beautiful moment.
This extraordinary sight left Tao Yao dumbfounded.
Perhaps nothing could be as romantic as this.
“Thank you, my husband~”
Tao Yao gently embraced Qin Changqing.
“Qin Changqing, in the entire Vast Wave Realm, this peach tree is probably the oldest, now over ten thousand years old, with some level of spirituality.”
A few days later, within the Guiyuan Sect, Master Butterfly Cloud’s voice echoed.
In front of Qin Changqing was a massive peach tree.
This peach tree was hundreds of meters tall, and its trunk was incredibly thick.
It was hard to believe that a peach tree could grow so tall!
However, this peach tree couldn’t compare to the ever-blooming peach tree Qin Changqing saw in his dream.
What left the deepest impression on that tree wasn’t its height, but its beauty and incredible aura.
In a fragmented picture, just one petal of that peach tree was enough to cut down the stars in the sky.
If that tree was the true form of Tao Yao before her reincarnation, it would be enough to explain how powerful she was.
This peach tree was impressive in its own right.
It has lived for over ten thousand years.
A tree’s age isn’t infinite.
Every species of tree will age and die after a certain period.
Take the peach tree for example; in Qin Changqing’s world before the crossing, peach trees generally only lived for about twenty years.
If it is in a barren place, it would start to decline in fifteen or sixteen years.
There were some trees that lived for hundreds or even thousands of years in Qin Changqing’s world before crossing over.
But those weren’t peach trees.
In the Vast Wave Realm, due to the existence of spiritual qi, the lifespan of peach trees is longer.
However, peach trees that lived several hundred years were relatively rare, and those that lived thousands of years even rarer.
“This tree is deliberately planted by us. Master Xu of the Spiritual Medicine Garden has been working on this; testing the limits of ordinary plants’ lifespans. He has planted tens of thousands of peach trees, and only this one has grown so tall,” said Master Butterfly Cloud.
At this moment, someone flew over. Qin Changqing looked and saw that it was Master Xu.
He was an elderly man in the early stage of Refining Void cultivation, with a deep understanding of all types of spiritual grasses, spiritual medicines, and trees.
“It’s truly not easy for this peach tree to live for over ten thousand years. But it is also subject to tribulations. Look at the trunk on its right side, which was struck by a wave-rolling thunderbolt,” Master Xu introduced.
Qin Changqing walked up to the peach tree, placing his hand on the trunk and began to sense it.
The tree indeed had spiritual intelligence, but it was very weak.
If intelligence could be used to describe it, this peach tree’s intelligence was equivalent to that of a one or two-year-old child.
Of course, there were differences.
Human intelligence and the wisdom of these kinds of plants were vastly different in their expressions.
Perhaps if this peach tree could live forever, it might someday become as powerful as Tao Yao was before her reincarnation.
However, the chances of this happening were slim.
It was already so difficult for a person to become an immortal, let alone a single peach tree?
“I need to collect some of its tree sap,” Qin Changqing said.
“Go ahead, as long as you don’t take too much, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Master Xu replied.
Qin Changqing’s True Origin seeped into the peach tree, and soon he found the tree sap at the core of the tree.
One could see that as he acted, all the branches of the peach tree began to tremble.
