The Primordial Giant Spirit God captures Sun Wukong at the start.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Peach Garden.

A group of strongmen are busy at work.

Some were carrying water, some were pruning peaches, and some were cleaning.

Have you seen the Great Sage?

An elderly man with a white beard, holding a peach wood cane, emerged from the ground and asked the crowd anxiously.

The water carriers stopped what they were doing. "We inform the local earth god that we have never seen the Great Sage!"

The local deity of the Peach Orchard shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, saying, "Go on with your work!"

After saying that, he transformed into clouds and smoke and merged into the ground, using earth magic to arrive at the Yaochi Palace next door.

After being reported through various channels, the news reached the ears of the Queen Mother.

"How strange!"

This demon monkey only ate some peaches when he first took over the peach orchard, and then didn't enter the peach orchard for seven consecutive days. Could it be that he looked down on the three-thousand-year-old peaches?

That's right!

The 3,600 peach trees in the Peach Garden that Sun Wukong was in charge of guarding were actually ordinary peach trees that only bore fruit once every 3,000 years. They were simply divided into three areas according to the age of the peach trees to deceive people!

The peach trees that bear fruit once every nine thousand years and once every six thousand years were placed between the Peach Garden and the Jade Pool by the Queen Mother using a celestial array, and nourished day and night with the holy water of the Jade Pool. The exact number of them is unknown to outsiders!

After a moment's thought, the Queen Mother was not surprised.

Although a single peach of immortality that is three thousand years old is enough to make a mortal become an immortal, an earth immortal become a celestial immortal, and a profound immortal's cultivation level increase dramatically, the effect is not obvious for a golden immortal!

Sun Wukong was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, so the peaches of immortality, which only ripen once every three thousand years, had negligible effect on him!

Only the peaches of immortality that bear fruit once every six thousand years can cause a Golden Immortal's cultivation to increase dramatically.

To break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, one needs a peach that bears fruit only once every nine thousand years to be effective!

But it would be absolutely impossible for her to bring out such top-quality peaches for Sun Wukong.

It wasn't that she was stingy, but that she simply couldn't afford it.

To outsiders, she has 1,200 peach trees that bear fruit once every 9,000 years, 1,200 peach trees that bear fruit once every 6,000 years, and 1,200 peach trees that bear fruit once every 3,000 years. The number of peaches she has in stock is also astonishing.

but it is not the truth.

As one of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots, the mother tree of the peach tree, like the other supreme innate spiritual roots, is unique.

This single, unique peach mother tree is her innate spiritual root, growing alongside her.

It was with the help of the Peach Tree that she was able to cultivate rapidly, easily breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and was no slower than Haotian, a top-tier innate being.

But things changed after she and Haotian established the Heavenly Court.

At that time, the Heavenly Court had just been established, and although it had the name, it did not have the manpower.

To aid the development of the Heavenly Court, she was forced to divide the Peach Tree into thirty-six main trees, three hundred and sixty subsidiary trees, and three thousand six hundred miscellaneous trees. To attract more experts to join the Heavenly Court, she also publicly claimed to possess one thousand two hundred main trees and one thousand two hundred subsidiary trees.

This is also the origin of the Peach Banquet!

In earlier years, the Heavenly Court was short-handed, but she had accumulated a lot of peaches, so her lie was not exposed.

But as the Heavenly Court grew stronger and more people attended the Peach Banquet, her stock of peaches dwindled. Left with no other choice, she had to substitute inferior ones!

Although many immortals noticed this, they did not speak out because of her status, but their dissatisfaction continued to accumulate.

They clearly have so many 9,000-year-old peaches, yet they keep trying to fool people with 3,000-year-old peaches. Isn't that looking down on them?

She knew that this was not a long-term solution.

But they dared not reveal the truth rashly.

So he thought of using Sun Wukong to settle the previous mess. If he could knock down some peach trees, that would be even better!

At that time, she can not only settle her previous debts, but also legitimately reduce production. If all goes well, she can even seek some compensation from the Buddhist community.

The Bodhi tree in Buddhism is no less valuable than the peaches in her hand!

The Queen Mother shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"That's enough!"

"Since Sun Wukong doesn't think it's good enough, then I'll give you some other rewards later!"

……

At the same time, Shi Daju led Sun Wukong silently through the eye of the immortal array into the real Peach Garden.

The lush vitality instantly overwhelmed the two of them.

Sun Wukong subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, but did not rush to act. Instead, he looked at Shi Daju beside him with some worry.

"Big brother, are we sure we won't get caught doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Daju frowned subconsciously.

To be honest, he wasn't really sure himself.

He discovered through the array's core that this array was only at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After using the realm card of the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could easily enter the real Peach Garden through the array eye.

As for whether it will leave any traces, and whether it will be detected by a quasi-saint powerhouse, only heaven knows.

However, since we're already here, there's no point in regretting it now.

"This risk is worth it to help you break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"

Sun Wukong was deeply moved upon hearing this.

How fortunate Sun Wukong was to have such a big brother protecting him!

"Big brother! I..."

"Why are you being so fussy?"

Shi Daju frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Hurry up and eat the peaches, and think of a way to break through!"

"If we're discovered too early, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?"

Sun Wukong then composed himself, quickly found and picked a nine-thousand-year-old peach and ate it in large bites.

Since the fruit was not fully ripe, he picked another one after he finished eating the first one.

Only after he ate the two peaches did a look of joy appear on his face.

The time has come to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

Without much thought, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to circulate the Great Celestial Immortal Technique!

Beside him, Shi Daju swiftly enveloped the entire peach orchard with his Great Luo Divine Sense. After a moment, a look of doubt crossed his face, and he muttered to himself, "How come there are only four hundred and six trees in total!"

"There are only thirty-six trees that are nine thousand years old!"

"That's far too little!"

"The fruit on the trees is pitifully scarce; each tree bears no more than thirty-six fruits!"

"Could it be that the Queen Mother has other secrets hidden away?"

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

It's fine if it's less!

In a flash, he picked all the fruits present and quickly stored them in the system.

After doing all that, he turned his attention back to the peach tree.

"I wonder if we can just dig up this peach tree and take it away?"

Thinking this, he reached out and hugged the thickest peach tree.

But just then, a familiar fluctuation of divine soul energy came.

"Oops!"

"We've been discovered!"

Shi Daju was startled and tore open the space without hesitation, escaping from the Peach Garden through the array's core.

The moment he left the Peach Garden, the Queen Mother appeared in the real Peach Garden.

An enraged voice followed.

"who!"

"Who stole my peaches?!"
