Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: Taking Root

Three months later, Yusuf Zuck had set up both the Heaven and Earth Upside Down Array and the Five Elements Extermination Array. The reason he was able to arrange the three arrays so quickly was that he possessed four of the Five Elements Divine Books, as well as Essence Dew.

In truth, he was also a genius. After all, the continuous unlocking of Purple Blood Beads meant that his brain domain was constantly being developed.

Leonidas King had long been thoroughly impressed. The mysterious and magical nature of Yusuf Zuck made him vaguely suspect that his elder brother was extraordinary, with future achievements that were perhaps boundless.

Three months later, Alden Baxter, who had been away for more than a decade, returned. His absence had spanned thirteen years, with no news throughout that time.

However, after his return, Yusuf Zuck and Leonidas King noticed that he had become more mature and sophisticated. He no longer seemed like a newbie who had recently ascended to the Heavenly Realm, but rather like an experienced older god.

It is said that traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. Alden Baxter had been constantly on the move, so the sights and scenes he had witnessed broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge.

"The three million Spirit Stones you gave me, I spent them all in less than a month. Luckily friends helped me out, so I managed to survive!" At this moment, the three of them were gathered deep in the mountains, drinking and listening to Alden Baxter recounting amusing events from the past decade or so.

"You made new friends?" Yusuf Zuck and Leonidas King asked curiously.

"Hehe, I fell in love at first sight with a quirky woman. Can’t help it, with the Great Emperor’s charm being so high, women fall for me at first sight!" boasted Alden Baxter with pride.

"Can you stop bragging and tell the truth?" Leonidas King cast a glance at him.

"Dammit, can’t you let me boast a bit longer?" Alden Baxter rolled his eyes, then muttered, "The truth is, I was on a divine ship when I got robbed by pirates. The ship was destroyed. Then, by chance, I encountered a demonic woman under the influence of a love potion, and she kept me entangled for several days until the effects wore off. After she was done messing with me, she didn’t kill me. She just ran off. But two years later, we met by accident, and then we were inseparable..."

"Pfft... That actually worked?" Yusuf Zuck and Leonidas King were dumbfounded.

"Why wouldn’t it? It’s fate, destined by heaven, hehe. And then she was with me for three years. Before she had to leave, I took all her Magic Treasures and Spirit Stones and such. Damn, I can’t just waste three years of my youth for nothing, right? Frickin’ hell, she was also a lustful woman; couldn’t stand it not even for a day without it!"

"Dude, seriously jealous of your luck. How come I never meet such women?" Leonidas King cursed.

"I look down on you guys!" Yusuf Zuck felt both amused and exasperated with his two brothers.

"These are the precious items I’ve collected over the years. My little lady also helped me gather quite a bit. They’re mostly roots and such, not many impressive items." Alden Baxter threw a ring to Yusuf Zuck. Yusuf Zuck caught the ring and glanced at it. He didn’t see anything particular; there were quite a few roots and plenty of leftover pits.

"Cut to the chase and tell us, what precious items are there?" Yusuf Zuck asked.

"No complete precious items, but there are things like roots and pits. For instance, the roots of the Seven-colored Flower, seeds of the Soul Erosion Grass, lotus leaves of the World Purification Lotus, and amulets carved from cores of the Power of Fortune fruit and so on. If these items were complete, they’d be priceless treasures. Unfortunately, not one is intact!"

"You have the Seven-colored Flower? The Power of Fortune fruit?" Yusuf Zuck and Leonidas King were taken aback. They had been in the Heavenly Realm for many years, often venturing into the city, so they had seen quite a few books about rare treasures.

"What’s so surprising about that? My little lady even gave me a Peach Wood Sword. Do you know where that peach wood came from?" Alden Baxter said proudly, "From the Divine Peach Tree of the Goodman Family, one of The Eight Great Families!"

Leonidas King exclaimed in shock: "It’s rumored that within the Goodman Family’s herbal garden, there’s a Divine Peach Tree that blooms once every thirty-six million years and bears fruit every seventy-two million years. It takes one billion and eighty million years for the fruits to mature, and this is the only Divine Peach Tree in the Heavenly Realm. Each time it matures, there are only nine Divine Peaches, and each peach possesses the power to snatch the fortune of heaven and earth. A common Lower-level Divine Person can reach the status of Lower Heavenly God by consuming one, and an Upper Heavenly God can become a Half-step God King with just one. Could it be that your lady’s Peach Wood Sword originated from that Goodman Family’s Divine Peach Tree?"

"Hehe, correct. My gal has ties with the Goodman Family, she never told me the specifics, but since I’ve deflowered her, she can’t run away anymore, hehehe!" Alden Baxter continued smugly.

"Where’s the Peach Wood Sword? Give it to me!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath and stood up excitedly.

The Goodman Family has the Divine Peach Tree, and he had also heard about it, ah, it’s considered the number one treasure of the Goodman Family, one of the four great wonders of the entire Heavenly Realm.

"What do you want my Peach Wood Sword for? I’m keeping it as a memento; it’s useless to you anyway!" Alden Baxter shook his head, unwilling to give it away!

"I’m gonna beat the hell out of you, hand it over quickly!" Yusuf Zuck became impatient and pounced on Alden Baxter.

"Boss, are you insane? I’m a man, a man, don’t touch me, will it do if I just give you the sword?" aldern baxter threw out a wooden sword in panic when he saw Yusuf Zuck’s eyes turning red. The wooden sword was of a sandalwood hue, exuded the fragrance of divine peaches, and pulsed with supreme Spiritual Power!

"Hahaha, God-level, we are going to become God-level!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily and directly plunged the Peach Wood Sword into the ground.

"What do you mean?" Alden Baxter and Leonidas King were perplexed, wondering what kind of madness had taken over their boss.

"Let me show you a magic trick, hehe, remember you guys were asking why I leased the mountaintop? Now’s the time to unveil the mystery!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled, then suddenly squeezed out a drop of Essence Dew onto the Peach Wood Sword!

Alden Baxter and Leonidas King curiously watched the Peach Wood Sword, curiously watching Yusuf Zuck squeeze out a drop of purple liquid.

However, the very next second, both of them quaked with astonishment!

Because... Because the Peach Wood Sword that was stuck in the ground suddenly exploded and melted into the soil, and then a whiff of vitality emerged. They watched as the Peach Wood Sword began to take root, sprouting green twigs, and then as the cracked Peach Wood Sword gradually grew taller, grew bigger, turned greener, with branches stretching out.

In just the blink of an eye, the Peach Wood Sword had actually transformed into a small sapling.

And in another blink, the sapling turned into a large tree.

By the third blink, the large tree had grown several zhang tall, with green leaves unfurling and white peach blossoms blooming, their fragrance wafting through the air.

As the peach blossoms fell, nine green fruits also grew rapidly. It was like a magic trick; within moments, the nine fruits all swelled to the size of a fist. At first they were green but then slowly turned red and ripened, eventually becoming fully ripe. When the wind blew, the scent of peaches filled the air, and the fruits seemed ready to fall at any moment!

The Peach Wood Sword took root upon hitting the ground, and within a few breaths, the Divine Peach Tree bore nine fruits, and nine Divine Peaches ripened?

With mouths agape, Alden Baxter and Leonidas King stood frozen like ducks, motionless!

"Hahaha, Divine Peach Tree, oh Divine Peach Tree, tell me, aren’t we going to become Lower Heavenly Gods very soon?" Yusuf Zuck burst into laughter.
