These primordial spiritual roots were nurtured by heaven and earth at the earliest inception of the world, boasting effects surpassing even celestial herbs. While celestial herbs benefited true immortals, spiritual roots had effects on royal celestials.
Eliza managed a spiritual root known as the Saturna Peach Tree. It took nine thousand years to grow, nine thousand years to bloom, and another nine thousand to mature—which means that one had to wait a staggering thirty-six thousand years to enjoy a single Saturna Peach! Just a sip could extend a mortal's life by a millennium, while a practitioner who consumed it would instantly ascend to immortality. For true immortals, a single bite could elevate them to royal celestial status.
When the world became fragmented, all ten spiritual roots had fractured. Eliza, as the garden's overseer, took a fragment of the Saturna Peach Tree's spiritual root. In the post-celestial realm era, Eliza was the sole practitioner of ancient methods who continued to advance along that path.
Severin set down the jade plaque and swiftly retrieved the jade box nearby and took it out of the spatial ring. The box grew to the size of a millstone upon emerging, and the elements coalesced together with a formidable momentum. Within it emerged a small sapling about seven feet tall and about as thick as a thumb. Its leaves tinged with the faint glow of law despite being a little wilted.
Severin was surprised when he saw the peach tree. "Isn't this the Celestial Peach within my Inner World?" he exclaimed, wondering if the celestial peach tree he had was a fragment of the Saturna Peach Tree.
