第三千七百一十章 有瑕疵的蟠桃

The Moon Palace Fruit, the Nether River Divine Fruit, and the Immortal Peach—these three precious treasures are collectively known as the Three Divine Fruits of the Cultivation Realm.

These items are exceedingly rare, offering inexplicable benefits to cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage who seek to understand their domains. Ordinary cultivators might not have heard of them, but for old monsters at this level, they are virtually household names. For powerful cultivators in the late stages of Tribulation Transcending, these fruits are sought after dreams. Unfortunately, due to the rarity of such divine treasures, opportunities to obtain them are few and far between.

The Peach Banquet has a long history dating back to ancient times, but it is rare for such divine fruits to be used as the final treasure. Such items cannot be measured by mere crystal stones. Each time one appears, it usually comes with intense competition, often ending up as the centerpiece of an auction. According to tradition, the first item auctioned off is typically the least valuable.

This rule is well known among experienced cultivators who have participated in the Peach Banquet before. However, this raises a question: if the current final treasure is the Immortal Peach, does that mean all subsequent treasures will be more valuable?

The presence of such items is beyond comprehension for most cultivators. It's hard to imagine any magical artifact being worth more than these three divine fruits. In fact, few can match them in value.

Historical records indicate that the price of the Immortal Peach has always been astronomical. Beyond just top-grade crystal stones, it requires a mountain of other treasures. Each item is extremely rare, and the pile of treasures truly resembles a towering mountain.

How could such a priceless treasure be the first to appear as the final treasure? Everyone was stunned, including the顶级强者 residing in the Flying Sky Caverns… Could their imaginations have been wrong?

However, the scent did indeed resemble that of the Immortal Peach. Some old monsters who had seen this rare treasure thought to themselves.

Observing everyone's shock and doubt, Venerable Heavenly璇 smiled with satisfaction. With their curiosity piqued, they wouldn't worry about the price being too low for a flawed item. He waved his sleeves again, and the five-colored spiritual light flickered before revealing the true form of the fruit from the ten-thousand-year-old cold jade.

Its size was roughly that of a human head, emitting a fragrant aroma from its surface. It truly was the Immortal Peach!

Most people might not have seen it, but ancient texts often described and even included vivid illustrations of this rare treasure. Despite the distance, these old monsters could clearly see every detail on its surface—the pure primordial energy within, so refined that it seemed to contain some mysterious laws… Even the scent was constantly changing, sometimes rich, sometimes subtle, sometimes fragrant, sometimes mellow…

But all who smelled it found themselves comforted.

No, the essence of this fruit seemed not to follow the laws of this world. It had a faint connection with the Nether Realm and Demon World's laws, making it even more profound and complex.

Could it be… Immortal Realm laws!

Sure enough, it was the Immortal Peach!

Someone shouted in delight.

Surprise, greed, desire…

A myriad of emotions surfaced among these top-tier cultivators.

According to logic, at their level, they should remain unperturbed by anything. However, someone couldn't help but cheer out loud with joy.

Clearly, this Immortal Peach was a huge temptation for them.

The clamor continued for a while before an old voice silenced everyone: "No, there are some spots on the peach. The spiritual energy inside is chaotic and mixed; I have seen genuine Immortal Peaches, and they should not have such things."

This challenge sparked a wave of doubt among the cultivators. The enthusiasm was quenched like a bucket of cold water.

Everyone looked closely. Indeed!

At this moment, the Immortal Peach floated in mid-air and slowly rotated. Each rotation revealed some black spots that vanished almost instantly. If one wasn't careful, they might not notice them.

Why?

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment. Could it be… This is not an Immortal Peach?

But if it isn't, why does it look so much like one? It matches the descriptions in ancient texts. But if it is, these spots make no sense.

In a moment of uncertainty, all cultivators waited for Venerable Heavenly璇 to provide a reasonable explanation. And he didn't keep them waiting long.

After setting the atmosphere, he smiled and said: "As you can see, this first final treasure is indeed the Immortal Peach."

"Why are there black spots?"

"Do not worry, my fellow daoists; I will explain. This peach in my hand is truly an Immortal Peach, but it has flaws."

"Flaws?"

"This situation has never occurred before, but for some reason, this time we have a flawed Immortal Peach." Venerable Heavenly璇 sighed.
